September 1996, Trevor’s shoulder length sandy blond hair is tied back in a neat ponytail. The Carothers Hall. Common room has a grand piano. With fury and focus, Trevor performs a piece he composed at 14, and then at 16. I am 17, Trevor is 20. We are students in the Plan II Honors program. At University of Texas in Austin.

That were observed for the first Armistice day. It is a notable recording of silence. Because there is a lot of noise. In midtown Manhattan was...

Perpetuum mobile: RNA = RAM
http://pernoumena.blogspot.com/2009/09/rna-ram.html
Thursday, September 3, 2009. Aaron noticed this blog. It is oversimplified, but a great comparison of genetics concepts to computational ones. I thought it would give us something to contemplate at the end of the month. The counts in the post are worth pointing out:. So it takes about 25 kilobits — 3.2 kbytes — of data to code for a virus that has a non-trivial chance of killing a human. This is more efficient than a computer virus, such as MyDoom, which rings in at around 22 kbytes. Fast forward Lucinda...

Perpetuum mobile: Omnivolution
http://pernoumena.blogspot.com/2010/02/omnivolution.html
Friday, February 5, 2010. Transcript of a recent email discussion. On the heels of an afternoon discussion in the. That carried over to an evening in Korea town. Aaron Lee highlighted a viewpoint. Published recently in the New Scientist. This hit a chord with Trevor and me, who have been lamenting the intellectual laziness of academic biologists and popular science writers, alike, who use the theory of evolution as a mindlessly applied coda and rationalization for everything from behavior to flower petals.

Perpetuum mobile: Goblin of a tongue
http://pernoumena.blogspot.com/2010/03/goblin-of-tongue.html
Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Goblin of a tongue. At its root buried past the the glossopalatine arch? At the hardness of the gums against which it presses? The language has wound up as a mix of the partially poetic and the partially exploratory, in all cases centered on direct sensation of the body, or of parts of the body. And this has been, for me, something of a revelation. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Story of Piraye and Trevor (as told by Piraye). At University of Texas in Austin. It strikes m...

Perpetuum mobile: Dichotic listening 2
http://pernoumena.blogspot.com/2009/01/dichotic-listening-2.html
Thursday, January 15, 2009. Alan Cruttendon writes, in his book-length treatment of the prosody in language, Intonation. Published 1997 by Cambridge University Press, the following:. What about the listening of sound refracted through the hundred tiny lenses of the eye of the fly? What becomes of listening passed through the compound. Eye that, per force, must reassemble its contents in the form of a mosaic. Through the pincers of a dichotomy we come only to the doorstep of gesture, and of shape. Fast fo...

Perpetuum mobile: Crystals, Fabrics, and Fields (1)
http://pernoumena.blogspot.com/2010/06/crystals-fabrics-and-fields-metaphors.html
Monday, June 21, 2010. Crystals, Fabrics, and Fields (1). Donna Haraway is perhaps best known as the critical theorist behind the cyborg manifesto. Haraway wrote the manifesto during the Reagan years. In it she made the case for, among very other things, an intelligently hybridized understanding of the feminine. From the 1970s is something of a gold mine of images and explanations for why the life sciences model certain key concepts as they do. From Scott Gilbert's forward to the new printing of the book:.
