HIPPOCRATIS. MOCHLICUS, SEV VECTIARIUS.

Caput I. 

Ossa hunc in modum a natura sunt coparata. Digitorum quidem, tum ossiu, tum articulorum, simplex est junctura. In manu vero & pede, cum multa alia varie connectuntur, tu maxima sunt quae supremo loco committuntur. Calcis unum os est, quale foras prominet, quo etiam a posteriore parte tedines tendunt. Tibiae duo ossa sunt supra & infra coherentia, medio vero loco distantia. Quod exterius tendit, parvum & juxta parvum digitum paulo tenuius. Plurima vero hac parte distantia, minoreque momento ad genu inclinatio est, ex quo exterior poplitis tendo ortu habet. Inferiore autem parte commune habent ossis accretione, qua pes movetur, & superiore parte alteram, ubi femoris articulus simplex & longitudine succinctus movetur, tuberculorum speciem referens, & patellam habens. Ipsum vero femur exteriore & anteriore parte incurvatur. Ejus caput ossis est accrementum, rotundum, ex quo nervus (νεῦρον) qui in coxendicis acetabulo est, originem ducit. Cujus aliquantulum obliqua est connexio, minus tame quam braehii. Coxendix autem magne vertebre, quae; est ad os sacrum, ex vinculo cartilaginoso & nervoso inhaerescit. At spina a sacro quidem osse ad magnam vertebram usq; in gibbum curvatur. Vesicaq; & geniturae pars destinata, rectiq; intestini quod est inclinatum, ibisedem habet. Inde vero ad septum transversum, recta interiorem in partem inclinata tendit, qua parte lumboru muasculi […] dicti existunt. Ab ea quoque parte ad magnam vertebram, quae est tupra summam humerorum partem, recta in gibbum elevatur, imo vero hujusmodi magis apparet, quam sit. Posteriores enim vertebraru processus ea parte maxime eminent. Ipse aute cervicis articulus anteriore in parte inclinat. Vertebrae aute interiore parte inter se sunt aequabiles, exteriore vero cartilaginibus & nervis continentur: Eae quoq; in posteriore medullae spinalis parte, articuloru modo inter se committuntur; Parte autem posteriore processum acutum habent, cum adnata cartilagine, unde exoriuntur nervi qui proni feruntur, non secus ac musculi a cervice ad lumbos adnascuncur, qui costarum & spine intermedium complent. Costae vero ad vertebraiu interstitia, nervo annectuntur, a cervice ad lumbos interiorem in parte tendentes. Anteriore autem parte ad pectus, laxu & molle extremum habentes, forma prae caeteris animatibus maxime recurva cernutur: hac enim parte homo mole est angustissima. Quae costae no sunt, processus obliquus, brevis & latus, ad singulas vertebras nervo annexus est. At pectus sibiipsi cohaeret, qua parte costae annectutur obliqua interstitia habens, laxum quoque & cartilagineum; claviculae parte anteriore rotundae, ad pectus quidem breves motus, ad summum vero humerum crebriores habent. Sumus aute humerus (...dicitur) ex lato scapularum osse ortum ducit, in plurimis non aequabiliter. Latum vero scapulatu os ad spinam cartilagineum, reliqua parte laxum, foris inaequabile, cervicem & cavum cartilagineu habens, ex quo costae motionem ducunt, quod facile inter ossa, si brachium demas, dissolvitur. Hujus caput ex cavitate nervulo annexum est, teneram cartilaginem & rotundam adnatam habens; ipsum autem exteriore parte incurvum, & anteriore obliquum, ad cavitatem recta no fertur. Quod vero est ad cubiti gibbum, latum, tuberculosum, oblongas cavitates habens & solidum, posteriore parte cavum est, in quod cubici processus adnatus (qui ... dicitur) ubi manus extenditur, inseritur, quo etia torpidus nervus qui ex medio cubiti ossium intestitio enascitur, terminatur.

Arkhipov & Google Gemini   CONTENT [i]   Abstract [ii]   A Briefe Backstory [iii]   Interview [iv]   References [v]   Application [i]   Abstract While examining modern biblical criticism, I engaged in a discussion with Artificial Intelligence regarding my book,  “ 50 Tables of Evidence for the Composition of Genesis in Late Second Intermediate Period Egypt ” . The machine’s apocalyptic prediction concerning half of the world's population and the evolution of computer technology left me puzzled. To verify this prophecy and seek counsel from "natural intelligence," I am publishing my conversation with the AI.

Human Children. Retelling of Chapter 16

  Short retelling of chapter 16 of the essay: Arkhipov S.V. Human Children: The Origins of Biblical Legends from a Physician's Perspective. Joensuu: Author's Edition, 2025. [In Russian]  Chapter 16. The Archive of Joseph The saga of Joseph, a towering figure in the Book of Genesis, begins in Harran (36°52'16"N, 39°01'31"E), where he is born to Rachel, the second wife of Patriarch Jacob. As a young child, he leaves Paddan-Aram in northern Mesopotamia with his family, eventually settling in the Canaanite valley of Hebron. The journey through Western Asia’s rugged terrain leaves vivid impressions—of camel caravans, river crossings, and a final glimpse of his grandfather Laban on Gilead’s heights. By seven, Joseph is in Canaan, a land of contrasts to Harran’s plains. At seventeen, his life takes a dark turn. His brothers, envious of Jacob’s favoritism—symbolized by a vibrant, multicolored robe—sell him into Egyptian slavery. In Egypt, Joseph’s fortunes shift d...

2014ArkhipovaAS

  In 2014, at the International Olympics Space for school students, Alexandra Arkhipova presented a report on the feasibility of using joints with flexible elements in walking machines. The author was recognized as the overall winner (more details: cyclowiki.org ). The report suggested: «An important area of possible application of walking robots would be remote exploration of other planets». Ten years later, professionals from NASA began to put this idea into practice: Robot dog trains to walk on Moon in Oregon trials (more details: bbc.com ). Below we present the text of the first message about walking machines in space, the ball joint of which contains a flexible element - an analogue of the ligamentum capitis femoris (LCF).   Mobile biomorphic platforms with analogues of natural locomotion algorithms Arkhipova A.S. For ten years of its mission, American wheeled Mars rover vehicle 'Opportunity' covered just 40 kilometers through the Red Planet, and its twin Spirit g...

Homo ergaster

  HOMO ERGASTER The Homo ergaster species lived in Africa 1.8 million years ago and was alive until 600,000 years ago, likely becoming the ancestor of Homo erectus in Asia, Homo neanderthalensis in Europe, and Homo sapiens in Africa (1995CachelS_HarrisJ; 2005KleinR). Homo ergaster is occasionally equated with Homo erectus in publications (2013TattersallI). The most complete Homo ergaster skeleton belongs to an adolescent named "Turkana Boy" (KNM-WT 15000). The young man was between 8 and 12 years old (2010GravesRR_CunninghamDL; 2019BergmanJ). The age of this individual's remains is believed to be 1.6 million years (2007TattersallI). Turkana Boy (reconstruction) Author: Mettmann Neanderthal Museum; source:  wikimedia.org  collection (license CC BY-SA 4.0, no changes). The pelvis of specimen KNM-WT 15000 is well preserved. It shows ossified acetabulums. In turn, they have spacious acetabular fossae and wide acetabular notches. Based on these elements, it is possible to conc...
