{Jos]
I infer a negtive conotation to the term static, as compared to a positive
one applied to dynamic??[Case] I do not apply any value connotations to either term only to their specific manifestation. The earth orbiting the sun is a static pattern that I place a high positive value on. A hurricane is a dynamic event to which I place a highly negative value. [Jos] But complexity can only be a function of static ordered things right? You cant say a dynamic mess is complex can you? If there are no inherent rules present in a chaotic system but you reverse engineer the whole thing and try and imprint sets of hyper complex rules on top of it, what have you achieved? [Case] I would say complexity results from the interplay of static and dynamic factors. But it does not take complex rules to generate complexity a small set of simple rules will work. [Jos] Would it help to define "memory" as the whole thing - as a set of static patterns experienced? We cab relegate the static elements of it to being a constituent of the whole? So we have complex 4d static "records", but "memory" is the act of experiencing them, which in itself constantly alters their nature?? [Case] I do not see any distinction between a memory and the experience of memory. Nor do I see memory as static. Memory is fizzy. Ideas and recollections pop in and out of our heads. Associations, connections between memories, are made and strengthened constantly in response to incoming stimulation. That strengthening is the process of the dynamic being rendered increasingly static but the increase in static quality becomes the foundation for further dynamic interaction. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
