  • Three quarks for Muster Mark!: Sharing Mayelogic and other thoughts on internet.

    “we’ve arrived in Marshal McLuhan’s global village right on schedule. –Hyperpeople. http://markpesce.com/

    “Share the wealth and spoil the weal. Peg the pound to tom the devil. My time is on draught. –James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, Pg. 579.

    The following is a dry-toast post, or warm-up for something a little dishy, I’m preparing for the – share this course – class; a new chapter in collaborative web-work and a kick in the balls for me by Mark Pesce, and his incredibly intelligent and brilliant writing, speaking and software engineering. A slowly growing group of master-craftspeople who are joined-together to work on a new-new book. I only recently finnished reading “hyperpeople” by Mark http://markpesce.com/ and realize that without an edit button, some of my previous posts may be a little naive now, and that this was put together in 2004 boggles the mind!

    I’m certainly swimming upstream here a little, out of the range of my own areas of technological understanding and experience, I’m roughly cutting out some quotes from Mark’s 2004 article titled ‘hyperpeople’ and arranging them into a blog-post where they can share a place among some other key principles I take from Dr. Wilson’s ‘Tale of the tribe’ classes, and run with.

    If my contribution to this class from an ideological standpoint so far could be summed up its that James Joyce and Ezra Pound both achieved a new – hyperconnected – language of poetry and poetry of language, that I feel, gives us a well connected historical axis, or model, from which to construct a new kind of text, a new book and a new language, that may or maynot be html code, social networks and the interneting – world wide web – itself.

    I don not propose that we create a new Finnegans Wake or a new Cantos but instead think about Joyce’s next project, his book of the day, what would that book read like? possibly a balance and response to his wild-book of the night? What would that be like? And from Pound I would draw attention to his methodological introduction of Historical matter, his treatment of cultural fragments in an Epic poem or Tale of the Tribe, a tale of all Humanity, we can learn structure and hyperconnectivity from these two great books of shared knowledge. The rest of the tale of the tribe, as defined by RAW seems to be primarily concerned with the work of Pound and Joyce. I want to share, more specifically my interpretations of some of these ideas about alphabet and ideogram, as it becomes a natural extension from current research.

    “Shares in guineases! There’s lovely the sight! Surey me, man
    weepful! Big Seat, you did hear? And teach him twisters in
    tongue irish. –James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg. 361″

    “Nowt better than share (Mencius)
    nor worse than a fixed charge.” –EZRA POUND, Canto LXXXIX.

    “Nietzsche‘s view on eternal return is similar to that of Hume: “the idea that an eternal recurrence of blind, meaningless variation—chaotic, pointless shuffling of matter and law—would inevitably spew up worlds whose evolution through time would yield the apparently meaningful stories of our lives. This idea of eternal recurrence became a cornerstone of his nihilism, and thus part of the foundation of what became existentialism.”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nietzsche#Eternal_return

    “(the night we will remember) for to share our hard suite of affections with
    thee. –-James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg. 432

    “Nietzsche said that history repeats itself: first as tragedy, then as folly. George Santayana said that those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. And Einstein believed the definition of insanity to be “repeating the same act, expecting different results.” To these I must add one more: Hollywood loves a sequel. —Mark Pesce, Hyperpeople.

    “She would make the great sacrifice. Her every effort would be to share his thoughts. –James Joyce, Ulysses, Nausicaa.


    “When the tens of thousands of “amateur” productions do battle, on the level playing field of global digital superdistribution, with the few “professional” productions, the “amateurs” will win. Every time. Allways. Mark Pesce, Hyperpeople.

    “Skunk. And fare with me to share with me. –-James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg. 365.

    “monopolists, obstructors
    of knowledge/obstructors of distribution.”
    Cf Bucky Fuller, who sez much the same
    and blames continuing squalor and war on
    “ignorance, greed, fear and zoning laws. –Dr. Robert Anton Wilson, Recorsi 2005.”

    “Gnutella is less efficient than Napster, but, because there’s no centralized server (every computer on a Gnutella file-sharing network acts as both a server and a client) there’s no single point that can be shut down. Or sued out of existence. Mark Pesce, Hyperpeople.

    “Bruno‘s cosmology is marked by infinitude, homogeneity, and isotropy, with planetary systems distributed evenly throughout. Matter follows an active animistic principle: it is intelligent and discontinuous in structure, made up of discrete atoms. This animism (and a corresponding disdain for mathematics as a means to understanding) is the most dramatic respect in which Bruno’s cosmology differs from what today passes for a common-sense picture of the universe.- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giordano_bruno

    “…the “decentralized indexing”, meant that someone, somewhere had already figured out how to combine the best feature of Gnutella (its decentralized search mechanism) with the best of BitTorrent (it’s ability to turn the Internet into a very efficient system for sharing files). – Mark Pesce, Hyperpeople.

    “As Weiner wrote, ‘great poems contain high information, Political speeches contain little. — Dr. Robert Anton Wilson.

    “MP3 recording uses a mathematical technique known as Fourier Transforms to break an audio signal into its constituent sound waves. It’s like a chord played on a guitar: you can think of a chord as a set of individual strings being played simultaneously. Mark Pesce, Hyperpeople.

    “I’ll put in a shirt time if you’ll get through your shift and between us in our shared slaves, brace to brassiere and shouter to shunter, we’ll pull off our working programme. Come into the garden guild and be free of the gape athome! –James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, Pg. 476.

    “On the left are values of f(t) at the sampling points. The integral on the right will be recognized as essentially the nth coefficient in a Fourier-series expansion of the function F(ω), taking the interval –W to W as a fundamental period. This means that the values of the samples f(n / 2W) determine the Fourier coefficients in the series expansion of F(ω). Thus they determine F(ω), since F(ω) is zero for frequencies greater than W, and for lower frequencies F(ω) is determined if its Fourier coefficients are determined. But F(ω) determines the original function f(t) completely, since a function is determined if its spectrum is known. Therefore the original samples determine the function f(t) completely. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist%E2%80%93Shannon_sampling_theorem

    More than their good share of their five senses ensorcelled you would say themselves were, fuming censor, the way they could not rightly tell their heels from their stools as they cooched down a mamalujo by his cubical crib, as question time drew nighing and the map of the souls’ groupography rose in relief within their quarterings –James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg. 476.


    “BitTorrent is an elegant answer for the “superdistribution” of data; it harnesses the millions of Internet-connected computers to create something greater than the sum
    its parts – a giant, distributed system for the distribution of any type of digital
    information. Mark Pesce, Hyperpeople.

    “And to know the share from the charge
    (scala altrui)
    God’s eye art’ou, do not surrender perception. –EZRA POUND. From CANTOS CXII

    “In information theory, entropy is a measure of the uncertainty associated with a random variable. The term by itself in this context usually refers to the Shannon entropy, which quantifies, in the sense of an expected value, the information contained in a message, usually in units such as bits. Equivalently, the Shannon entropy is a measure of the average information content one is missing when one does not know the value of the random variable. The concept was introduced by Claude E. Shannon in his 1948 paper “A Mathematical Theory of Communication”. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_entropy

    “Instead, all computers which want to get access to some data are considered “peers,” meaning all are equal participants in any exchange of data. Mark Pesce, Hyperpeople.

    “The source coding theorem for symbol codes places an upper and a lower bound on the minimal possible expected length of codewords as a function of the entropy of the input word (which is viewed as a random variable) and of the size of the target alphabet. – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shannon%27s_source_coding_theorem

    “The medium is the message” means the actions of a community will differ in kind if that community is connected via telephone rather than radio, or email rather than television. Mark Pesce, Hyperpeople.

    …the alphabet vs. the equation….?

    …language as Class Warfare…? –Dr. Robert Anton Wilson (The Tale of the Tribe).

    “And saved up his pay money,
    and kept on savin’ his pay money,
    And bought a share in the ship,
    and finally had half shares,
    Then a ship –EZRA POUND, Canto XII.

    McLuhan used James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake as a major inspiration for this study of war throughout history as an indicator as to how war may be conducted in the future.
    Joyce’s Wake is claimed to be a gigantic cryptogram which reveals a cyclic pattern for the whole history of man through its Ten Thunders. Each “thunder” below is a 100-character portmanteau of other words to create a statement he likens to an effect that each technology has on the society into which it is introduced. In order to glean the most understanding out of each, the reader must break the portmanteau into separate words (and many of these are themselves portmanteaus of words taken from multiple languages other than English) and speak them aloud for the spoken effect of each word. There is much dispute over what each portmanteau truly denotes.
    McLuhan claims that the ten thunders in Wake represent different stages in the history of man:[50]

    * Thunder 1: Paleolithic to Neolithic. Speech. Split of East/West. From herding to harnessing animals.
    * Thunder 2: Clothing as weaponry. Enclosure of private parts. First social aggression.
    * Thunder 3: Specialism. Centralism via wheel, transport, cities: civil life.
    * Thunder 4: Markets and truck gardens. Patterns of nature submitted to greed and power.
    * Thunder 5: Printing. Distortion and translation of human patterns and postures and pastors.
    * Thunder 6: Industrial Revolution. Extreme development of print process and individualism.
    * Thunder 7: Tribal man again. All choractors end up separate, private man. Return of choric.
    * Thunder 8: Movies. Pop art, pop Kulch via tribal radio. Wedding of sight and sound.
    * Thunder 9: Car and Plane. Both centralizing and decentralizing at once create cities in crisis. Speed and death.
    * Thunder 10: Television. Back to tribal involvement in tribal mood-mud. The last thunder is a turbulent, muddy wake, and murk of non-visual, tactile man.

    “F(ω) is determined if its Fourier coefficients are determined. – Shannon_sampling_theorem

    “Now let the centuple celves of my egourge as Micholas de Cusack calls them, of all of whose I in my hereinafter of course by recourse demission me by the coincidance of their contraries reamalgamerge in that indentity” JJ FW, Part:1 Episode:3 Page:49,

    “Media change the way we perceive the world, transforming the way we think, feel, and behave. Mark Pesce, Hyperpeople.

    “Joyce himself parodies this preoccupation with the artefactual value of the book at length in Finnegans Wake in regards to a certain letter, discovered by a hen in a dunghill in an advanced state of decomposition. This letter, which is said to belong to A.L.P., is subjected to extensive genetic analysis. — http://web.ff.cuni.cz/~lazarus/jjht_inventions.html

    “the k’ao ch’eng is according to harvest,
    the tax as a share of something produced –Ezra Pound, Canto LXXXV.

  • CS is for Cyber-$wine Flu

    UK CYBERSWINE FLU EPIDEMIC

    DELL and the Police are going into business. Lord Carter, CAW CAW CAW Digital Government Business! As Ezra Pound wrote “Who distributes it, how” Information! D.I.G.I.T.A.L – ambiguous like Claude Shannon and NTL.

    Digital ways to extend the reach and accuracy of killingry, weaponry, and disinformation Warfare. Digital Warfare. Urban. All pervasive information warfare. Digital Analogue. Pirates fight like Samauri or Ronin – lone rangers, discordian immortals, drunken, always On. NO more cyberlaws and restrictions and government interference.

    How can we trust The Government men and women, who have hindered, blocked, slowed down and trickled down Information. Lying, stealing and cheating their way into positions of government, Using and abusing Government status to further private interests, telecommunications Banking, Arms and pharma – all wrapped up in a giant syringe, the ultra junky.gov Power, control and distribution mixed in a toxic cocktail, a red hot Heroin hit in the eyeball.

    Fuckin’ DELL! Lord! and the Forensic Police and curse you and your total information awareness program. Lordy, Lordy Lordy, would you look at that! What of Lord Carter and the Brunswick Group – EMI, B.P, British Airways and B.T Group? No Shit, he worked for NTL on broadband police work, and even went to Harvard And what of OFCOM and what of NTL?

    Why would the people of Great Britain, Or anywhere take any of the Digital Britain report seriously, just glancing at Lord Carter’s file? Have we just witnessed an attempted U.S style telecommunications coo by the info-Tzar?

    The RIAA, the British Government and DELL are all making threats to the consumer. And the sick sound of suited monkeys talking about Digital Knowledge and Culture. The Tzarist Occupation government is passing judgement on video games and Cannabis.

    The Government that sent the entire British culture and economy into illegal war Bowing to the commands from Washington, and wasting Trillions of public Pounds wants Us to take them seriously when proposing we trust them to distribute our digital information What Government Tzar?

    Of what secret order, what rank, can ordain the mighty information? EVERYTHING can be thought of as information, and information permeates everything everyware. All this talk of pirates and nobody mentions the great Pirates, as Buckminster Fuller calls them, The sea-faring, robber-barrons of industry and technology who stole our collective cultural Inheritance and sold it to the highest bidder – Sony, General Motors, Universal-Vivendi, Monsanto, J.P Morgan, NTL, and on and on, just read the paper, see the stocks and bonds – the great LOOT!
    Ministry of Information.

    As Minister for Communications, Technology and Broadcasting in the U.K Government Lord Carter Might have read Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, easily the greatest broadband network poem. Or maybe not, maybe he reads white papers on current DARPA research, police forensics etc. I speculate that he does, and this worries me, as a consumer and artists and as a poet i must sing.

    NO, LOOK:

    “Mr Brown had high hopes for Lord Carter, formerly the chief executive of the City PR firm Brunswick, where he earned a reported £500,000 salary. The Prime Minister was delighted when he agreed to serve as his chief of strategy and principal adviser for just £140,000 a year. — http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6481851.ece

    On BLOOMSDAY 2009: the UK Gov. Lead by Carter, produced a report called Digital Britain. James Joyce wrote:… “He held the bowl aloft and intoned:”

    Pirate Utopia?

    I love Great Britain, my family and friends and everyone over there, and i want the best information Rich environment and culture for them, where open source democracy and co-operative collabs. Replacing a single Tzarist tyranny dictated by a business lawyer media savvy gangster and his P.C! The consumer dictates the future now, and the consumer landscape is eating you, oh Lord, Lord.

    But, not just for Britain but for Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Europe, America, India, Africa, The Middle EastChina, South America, Australia, Indonesia, Siberia, Russia, Antartica, The Moon, Mars, Saturn and beyond.Information shall travel everywhere in all directions in ever increasing increments. Just try and stop it.

    Oh Lord, Try to control the digital disinformation campaign, make it just for you and your lords, M.P’s and Forensic detectives. Spare the community spaces and places that wish to use the network for art, poetry.Surprise. And please, Lord, understand that the Pirate is growing a long beard, waiting to strike, as pirates.Aha, aha, ahaaaaaaaaaaaa…….

  • NOW YOLK. APOLLODELPHI THEATRE sketch v1.0

    CUBEDOME

    NOW YOLK. APOLLODELPHI THEATRE.

    (JackY Muller, Manfred Humanski and James Shermon are talking about the CUBE).

    JACK MULLER: A vectorial-edged cube collapses. The cube’s corner flexibility can be frustrated only by triangulation. Each of the four corners of the cube’s six faces could be structurally stabilized with small triangular gussets, of which there would be 24, with the long edge structurals acting as powerful levers against the small triangles. The complete standard stabilization of the cube can be accomplished with a minimum of six additional members in the form of six structural struts placed diagonally, corner to comer, in each of the six square faces, with four of the cube’s eight corner vertexes so interconnected. These six, end-interconnected diagonals are the six edges of a tetrahedron. The most efficiently stabilized cubical form is accomplished with the prime structural system of Universe: the tetrahedron.”

    JAMES SHERMON: A method is developed for representing any communication
    system geometrically. Messages and the corresponding signals are
    points in two “function spaces,” and the modulation process is a
    mapping of one space into the other. Using this representation, a
    number of results in communication theory are deduced concerning
    expansion and compression of bandwidth and the threshold
    effect. Formulas are found for the maximum rate of transmission
    of binary digits over a system when the signal is perturbed by
    various types of noise. Some of the properties of “ideal” systems
    which transmit at this maximum rate are discussed. The equivalent
    number of binary digits per second for certain information sources is calculated.

    JACKY MULLER: Because of the structural integrity of the blackboard or paper on which they may be schematically pictured, the cubically profiled form can exist, but only as an experienceable, forms-suggesting picture, induced by lines deposited in chalk, or ink, or lead, accomplished by the sketching individual with only 12 of the compression- representing strut edge members interjoined by eight flexible vertex fastenings.

    JAMES SHERMON: If noise is added to the signal in transmission, it means
    that the point corresponding to the signal has been moved a
    certain distance in the space proportional to the rms value of
    the noise. Thus noise produces a small region of uncertainty
    about each point in the space. A fixed distortion in the
    channel corresponds to a warping of the space, so that each
    point is moved, but in a definite fixed way.

    JACKY MULLER: The accomplishment of experienceable, structurally stabilized cubes with a minimum of nonredundant structural components will always and only consist of one equiangled and equiedged “regular” tetrahedron on each of whose four faces are congruently superimposed asymmetrical tetrahedra, one of whose four triangular faces is equiangled and therefore congruently superimposable on each of the four faces of the regular tetrahedron; while the four asymmetrical superimposed tetrahedra’s other three triangular__and outwardly exposed__faces are all similar isosceles triangles, each with two 45-degree-angle corners and one corner of 90 degrees. Wherefore, around each of the outermost exposed corners of the asymmetrical tetrahedra, we also find three 90-degree angles which account for four of the cube’s eight corners; while the other four 90-degree surrounded corners of the cube consist of pairs of 45-degree corners of the four asymmetric tetrahedra that were superimposed upon the central regular tetrahedron to form the stabilized cube.

    ICOSAHEDRON:

    JAMES SHERMON: We now consider the function of the transmitter from
    this geometrical standpoint. The input to the transmitter is
    a message; that is, one point in the message space. Its output
    is a signal—one point in the signal space. Whatever form
    of encoding or modulation is performed, the transmitter
    must establish some correspondence between the points in
    the two spaces. Every point in the message space must
    correspond to a point in the signal space, and no two
    messages can correspond to the same signal. If they did,
    there would be no way to determine at the receiver which
    of the two messages was intended. The geometrical name
    for such a correspondence is a mapping. The transmitter
    maps the message space into the signal space.

    JACKY MULLER: In short, structurally stabilized (and otherwise unstable) cubes are always and only the most simply compact aggregation of one symmetrical and four asymmetrical tetrahedra. Likewise considered, a dodecahedron may not be a cognizable entity-integrity, or be rememberable or recognizable as a regenerative entity, unless it is omnistabilized by omnitriangulation of its systematic subdivision of all Universe into either and both insideness and outsideness, with a small remainder of Universe to be discretely invested into the system-entity’s structural integrity. No energy action in Universe would bring about a blackboard-suggested pentagonal necklace, let alone 12 pentagons collected edge to edge to superficially outline a dodecahedron. The dodecahedron is a demonstrable entity only when its 12 pentagonal faces are subdivided into five triangles, each of which is formed by introducing into each pentagon five struts radiating unitedly from the pentagons’ centers to their five comer vertexes, of which vertexes the dodecahedron has 20 in all, to whose number when structurally stabilized must be added the 12 new pentagonal center vertexes. This gives the minimally, nonredundantly structural dodecahedron 32 vertexes, 60 faces, and 90 strut lines. In the same way, a structural cube has 12 triangular vertexes, 8 faces, and 18 linear struts.

    JAMES SHERMON: This type of mapping, due to the mathematician Cantor,
    can easily be extended as far as we wish in the direction of
    reducing dimensionality. A space of n‘ dimensions can be
    mapped in a one-to-one way into a space of one dimension.
    Physically, this means that the frequency-time product can
    be reduced as far as we wish when there is no noise, with
    exact recovery of the original messages.

    JACKY MULLER: The vector equilibrium may not be referred to as a stabilized structure except when six struts are inserted as diagonal triangulators in its six square faces, wherefore the topological description of the vector equilibrium always must be 12 vertexes, 20 (triangular) faces, and 30 linear struts, which is also the topological description of the icosahedron, which is exactly what the six triangulating diagonals that have hypotenusal diagonal vectors longer than the square edge vectors bring about when their greater force shrinks them to equilength with the other 24 edge struts. This interlinkage transforms the vector equilibrium’s complex symmetry of six squares and eight equiangled triangles into the simplex symmetry of the icosahedron.

  • TTOTT is for The Tale of the Tribe: v1.0

    TTOTT is for The Tale of the Tribe: v1.0

    The Tale of the Tribe. [TOTT.]

    An ambiguous and widely missunderstood grouping of FIVE words, or four if you miss off THE’

    I think the phrase “A Poem including History” works as a helpful pointer. Finnegans Wake and the Cantos’

    Are each “The Tale of the Tribe” in their respective ways. “Illuminatus! Trilogy” too!

    These 3 texts when considered together may constitute a triangular structure, from which RAW’s TOTT SHINE most

    Brightly?

    Also the book by Michael Berstein [1980] “The Tale of the Tribe: The Modern verse epic of Ezra Pound.”

    Steers us once more toward uncle [EZ] who with [JJ] become the two primary exhibitors of

    RAW’s TOTT. [which i figure is NOT his final published book “email to the Universe”, but something much bigger

    woven and threaded throughout his books, and sombunall of his literary influences, an invisible landscape. ]

    So what i refer to as [RAW’s TOTT], as opposed to anybody else’s idea or conception/perception

    of the TOTT remains something we have yet to define. But he left us many clues. [rising drums and Cello’s]

    Maybe it requires a total revision of RAW’s entire catalogue

    With the new TOTT gloss, [best condensed at the back of his bookTSOG]

    To move closer to lifting this great ball of TOTT crystal IMHO.

    …the alphabet vs. the equation….?

    …language as Class Warfare…?

    Here’s a condensed paragraph from RAW, giving us
    Further clues:

    **I hereby acknowledge the debts my works owe to Remy de Gourmont,
    for his method of dissociation of ideas, to Alfred Korzybski, for his
    formulations of general semantics; to Richard Bandler, for his
    invension of neurolinguistic Programming; to Buckminster Fuller for his
    synergetics, to Claude Shannon and Norbert Weiner for their studies of
    control and communication between animals and/or machines; and to
    Ezra Pound for Ideogrammic Method.
    None of them deserve any blame for my errors or blunders.** -Robert Anton Wilson, email to the Universe.

    I would like to echo Bob’s sentiment here, as he does not deserve any blame for my earaws or blunterz.
    !

    And here we have a neat introduction to [RAW’s TOTT]compiled by the sparkling MLA.

    “==Tale of the Tribe==
    The first of Wilson’s MLA courses bridging the political,
    the social and the psychological, [[Tale of the Tribe]] promises to be a landmark
    journey with our dear Dr. Bob. Starring **Giordano Bruno, Giambatista Vico,
    Friederich Nietzsche, Ernest Fenollosa, Ezra Pound, Alfred Korzybski,
    James Joyce, Buckminster Fuller, Claude Shannon** and **Marshall McLuhan** —

    information age of 21st century and the mindscape of **Robert Anton Wilson.**

    And here is a question by BOB,
    from the back of his book TSOG: The thing the ate the constitution,

    That i think crystalizes RAW’s TOTT,
    And deserves DAILY revision…

    What do Giordano Bruno, Giambatista Vico,
    Friedrich Nietzsche, Ernest Fenollosa, Ezra Pound
    Alfred Korzybski, James Joyce, Buckminster Fuller,
    Claude Shannon, Marshall Mcluhan and Internet all have in
    common? You”ll find out. -TSOG.

    I have started doing this new work, condensing the nodle clusters

    From RAW’s work’s [the names of the characters to begin with]

    And started arranging them in different ways. [having searchable source’s has greatly inspired this posting]

    I feel that i have stepped over/through some boundaries in some sense,

    By cutting bits from RAW’s writing and sticking them together. [byte-ing RAW]

    But, with the strictest supervision, and with a community who can FEEDBACK

    with each other while doing so, we can basically continue RAW’s work,

    And study his structure, technique and methods?

    In some sense this new work of mine is nothing more than a collection of Robert Anton Wilson quotes.

    But unlike any other collection of RAW quotations,

    This one focuses on RAW’s Tale of the Tribe, the historical characters,

    who “make it new”.

    I hope the MLA, TRIBE, and everybody else can join this great

    Work in conception/perception.

    But for me this is just the beginning, the bare bones, an historical

    Kind of invetigation. [phase I]

    I wish for audio/visual components, and hyperlinking which help

    Make the words NEW.

    Maybe email is the best way to work this out in the initial stages?
