Glen and others, thank you, Someone once claimed that as we age we become transparent. That might frustrate the girl with the mirror fixation. The link to the date.html works like a charm. GREAT. I can see Myself and every one else.!
Now is anyone gifted on Graph Theory?. I have a Circulant Graph that appears very Hamiltonian in 3D and not so in 2D, but still interesting? It appears to cross it's own paths or tracks . (4 way intersections are nodes) I am just starting to learn this discipline accidentally and reluctantly, against my stubborn nature. I loaded an example onto One Drive https://onedrive.live.com/?cid=14A5CDB09AEE4237&id=14A5CDB09AEE4237%212315&v=3 One connected Graph with two isomorphs , blue and red , with one to one correspondence between nodes or vertices. When I transfer the graphs to Eng. Software I can place strut/bridges/connections between two or more copies of the graph and build a skeleton out of a set of structures. It can appear to be moving frame to frame. I have been working on this for some time, on and off, and am entertaining a future public presentation. I had hoped to make a journey to your sunny climes. Somewhere I have a structure with valence of 10 per node causing me some great anxiety. Maybe by the time I figure it out I will be fully transparent, while the presentation has materialized. vib -----Original Message----- From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of glen Sent: January-30-15 1:44 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: Re: [FRIAM] [ SPAM ] RE: clinical diagnosis of [a]theism?

I read a fantasy novel a long time ago about a girl who was unsure of her existence. So she surrounded herself with mirrors to remind her. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordant%27s_Need I also have heard that many people feel "invisible". And I know that, when I regularly eat meals in a pub or restaurant by myself, with the same wait staff and other regular customers, almost nobody gives any evidence they remember me. No recognition at all.... at least it takes lots and lots of visits to get any recognition. But my wife and I can go to a place _once_ and then return a month or so later, and seemingly everyone who was there last time recognizes us. Ironically, I'm a stickler for eye contact and my wife doesn't seem to care about making eye contact with strangers. > Does anyone recall washroom graffiti of the 60's and 70's sometimes eloquent > sometimes rather vulgar and blunt. > Without a time line one could imagine a dialogue, at times, with penmanship > the only distinguishing feature to support the fantasy. > At the next gas station, 100 miles further West, the conversation would > resume, based only upon the very recognizable penmanship.

Are they metadata tags? They type of music I like best tends to contain nearly nonsensical lyrics ... not only is it difficult to hear them, but even if you download them from the band, assuming they know what they are, they still make very little sense... at least to me. That's why I enjoy[ed] placing them, line by line in my e-mail signature database and having it pseudo-randomly select single lines from all those lyrics to include in my e-mail signature. Nick might think of such things as "postmodern". I tend to think of them as cumulative sense-making ... e.g. the only complete way to understand a deck of cards is to shuffle them over and over and try to make sense of them in various new sequences and subsets. If random re-ordering the _moments_ of your life/story make that story meaningless, then perhaps it's time to re-think the meaning of your story/life? > Glen quoted Marcus but only gave a date Wed Jan 28... not the thread.

But it's more likely that the computer(s) that execute our lives are playing games with us ... selecting which information gets to us and which is filtered out.

It's neither an event, nor a sequence of events, but a shufflable (impredicative) set of events. -- ⇔ glen ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com
