Re: [FRIAM] FW: Fractal discussion Landscape-bird songs

Glen, You are assuming that a very elaborate sophisticated machine based model will work better than swarms of microbots stitching micro sized jpegs together. Evolution by its persistence seems to prove that some small part is working correctly. This gives me some faith that we are not a lost

Thanks for the structure of thought . So am I an Iconoclast because I am all too aware of the misuse of Icons ( simulations). I taught FEM and CAD and saw puzzlement on the, soon to be, engineers faces. I have watched engineers sneak out of the lecture hall when I started showing slides of

My almost five-year old grandson definitely likes being deluded in that sense, I think, when he plays Minecraft. The appeal is obvious: he can wander around the world without adults saying "don't go there", he acquires and manages his "inventory", he can build amazing structures, he can dig

Re: [FRIAM] FW: Fractal discussion Landscape-bird songs

Well, to be clear, my comment was intended to agree with Vladimyr's point that I kinda like being _deluded_. When you finally remove all the meaning from the math notation and just manipulate the markings, it can be very hypnotic. What would otherwise seem to be meaningless syntax takes on a

Re: [FRIAM] FW: Fractal discussion Landscape-bird songs

Glen, Thank You. Now we enter into a salient area where dispute could arise if I take you too literally. The Mesh is irregular and can't be called a proper tessalation since there are no repeated elements or tiles. I assume VanHoutte only cheated slightly in his code' The points positions

Re: [FRIAM] Trump right again?

Trump is entirely in the wrong on this, at least if speaking factually is what would determine whether he was right... He watched, presumably, the following segment from the Tucker Carlson show on Friday night: Sweden Government Covering Up Immigrant Rape & Crime - Ami Horowitz - Tucker Carlson

Re: [FRIAM] Trump right again?

Ridiculous. Trump was _vague_, then tried to clarify, badly. But because he was _vague_, biased sources like that pseudonymous zero hedge author will exploit his vagueness and use _whatever_ might happen as evidence he was right. Did you read the Lakoff article?

Re: [FRIAM] FW: Fractal discussion Landscape-bird songs

There's no doubt that there's some kernel of truth to the concept of "flow" or "in the zone". I always make the mistake of thinking others have had similar experiences to mine. But at our journal club a few weeks ago, while discussing whether math is invented or discovered, one guy kept

There's a meme floating around that Trump, as awful as he is, has been right and ignored for it. This from a retweet I happened across: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-20/meanwhile-rioting-breaks-out-sweden God this is a weird world. And accelerating! -- Owen

Re: [FRIAM] FW: Fractal discussion Landscape-bird songs

Works perfectly! And cool music, BTW. I see now that you were talking about a tesselation of the sphere's surface. I thought you intended a 3D irregular grid. Regardless, I certainly didn't notice the camera issue. I did notice an odd squashing of the earth textured sphere, though. On
