Breaking The Code of Edward Snowden; Artist and Behavioral Specialist Greg Herzog paints Edward Snowden Traitor?!, with his trademarked COLOR CODING DNA® technique

Breaking The Code of Edward Snowden; Artist and Behavioral Specialist Greg Herzog paints Edward Snowden Traitor?!, with his trademarked COLOR CODING DNA® technique.

Greg Herzog, a former sub four minute miler and conditioning specialist in New York City has worked with David Geffen, Harvey Keitel, Naomi Campbell, Jan Wenner, Charlie Rose, Edgar Bronfman Jr, competitive athletes, as well as individuals from the ages 5-94, and has made studying human performance his life’s work. This extensive experience led to the development of “QUANTUM MAPPING®”, a mathematical equation to predict and change behavior, as well as a Quantum Reaction Theory: COLOR CODING DNA®, to help better understand the foundation of the makeup of an individual in regard to performance.

We know what people or things look like in human form, on MRI's and brain scans, but what would they look like if they were represented by color?

Greg Herzog has created a Quantum Reaction Algorithm, using a geometric mathematical equation, where X number of points represents the makeup of a subject and each degree of expression within the context of each point is color coded and weighted accordingly.

The colors and meaning of the colors in the Edward Snowden Traitor?! COLOR CODING DNA® painting, are as follows:

Yellow: Complex & contradictory, Black: Intense, Yellow: Unstable manner, Orange: Arrogance and Selfishness, Yellow: Short attention span, Bronze: Self-righteous,

White: Contempt for authority, Bronze: Erratic behavior, Blue: Overly emotional,

White: Compulsive.

The COLOR CODING DNA® painting process is strikingly similar to the way patterns in Nature evolve. Since its discovery in the 1960's, chaos theory has experienced spectacular success in explaining many of Nature's processes. A mathematical system can be designed to generate COLOR CODING DNA® trajectories, where the degree of chaos can be tuned. Many natural chaotic systems form fractals in the patterns that record the process.

Herzog arrived at his equation in his own personal quest to understand himself, by researching every possible scientific pathway of human development, Newton, Galileo, Jung and Max Planck. If a subject was represented by a color or series of colors what would it look like?

Similar to Physicists and Economists or the Myers Briggs model, Herzog has written an algorithm that uses a branch of physics that utilizes a Quantum theory to describe and predict the properties of a physical system.

He analyzes the Quantum data of the individual or subject, and then he follows a mathematical model to identify and quantify relationships in the data to best understand the true nature of the individual or subject based on the relationships.

Edward Joseph Snowden is an American computer specialist, a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee, and former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor who disclosed top secret NSA documents to several media outlets, initiating the NSA leaks, which reveal operational details of a global surveillance apparatus run by the NSA and other members of the Five Eyes alliance, along with numerous commercial and international partners.

The release of classified material was called the most significant leak in US history by Pentagon Papers leaker Daniel Ellsberg. A series of exposés beginning June 5, 2013 revealed Internet surveillance programs such as PRISM, XKeyscore and Tempora, as well as the interception of US and European telephone metadata. The reports were based on documents Snowden leaked to The Guardian and The Washington Post while employed by NSA contractor Booz Allen Hamilton. By November 2013, The Guardian had published one percent of the documents, with "the worst yet to come".

Snowden flew to Hong Kong from his home in Hawaii on May 20, 2013, where he later met with journalists Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras and released his copies of the NSA documents. After disclosing his identity, he fled Hong Kong and landed at Moscow's Sheremetyevo International Airport on June 23, reportedly for a one-night layover en route to Ecuador. US officials had revoked his passport on June 22.

According to Snowden and his traveling partner, Sarah Harrison, he was unable to leave the Moscow airport transit zone with a revoked passport.

He remained there until August 1, when the Russian government granted him a one-year temporary asylum.

A subject of controversy, Snowden has been variously called a hero, a whistleblower, a dissident, a traitor, and a patriot Snowden's "sole motive" for leaking the documents was, in his words, "to inform the public as to that which is done in their name and that which is done against them." The disclosures have fueled debates over mass surveillance, government secrecy, and the balance between national security and information privacy. Seven months after the NSA revelations began, Snowden declared his mission accomplished, citing the international debate sparked by his leaks. A federal judge in December 2013 ruled that the government had "almost certainly" violated the US Constitution by collecting metadata on nearly every phone call within or to the United States. Ten days later, a different federal judge ruled the surveillance program was legal, raising the likelihood that the constitutionality of the program would ultimately be decided by the Supreme Court. In early 2014, numerous media outlets and politicians issued calls for leniency in the form of clemency, amnesty or pardon, while others called for him to be imprisoned.

He is considered a fugitive by American authorities who have charged him with espionage and theft of government property. He lives in an undisclosed location in Russia and continues to seek permanent asylum.
