Tonight I am thinking about the hippocampus and amygdala as a Hopf Map of metasignal indexing a thalamocortical Milnor sphere of signal...this is a mathematically shocking thing for me to be doing. I sense God nearby.
"Millions of people killed in highly developed countries within months. Tens of millions worldwide. The global economy in tatters. A Hollywood fantasy? No -- it's now a plausible scenario. The first act, the spread of avian flu to, and probably between, humans, has already started across Asia..."
I wrote Jack Milnor today--kinda scary. I wonder if he will think my suggestion that the brain is a Milnor sphere generator, crazy. Afterall, the universe itself is giving hints of being a Milnor sphere too. Below is a an abstract very interesting paper I found today (Source):
There was a loose cable between hubs here that was causing me to drop 30-80% of my packets...neither firefox, nor explorer could manage to load google's gmail page under these condidtions. Safari didn't even hiccup. I will keep a copy around in case I ever find myself in a high noise situation again.
In the spring of 1995 I started to notice patterns in the primary index of my Lobner Prize entry, Jackie. She worked much like Alicebot works now, except she indexed stimuli in a filtered phonetically invariant form--essentially I stripped out all the high frequency words, then converted the remaing text to soundex codes, and sorted those alphabetically. The patterns I notced were simple, because her corpus was small, but they gave me a vision.
It is chilly in Chile. Yesterday was the first really cold day--about 5 degrees C after the sun went down.
I didn't just time my theory over night I started typing more than a decode ago:
Talking about SOMs of MIST items [prototype for Mindpixels] in 1996
Wow. Googlisms. Mindpixels extracted for wikipedia.
In 1934, while dining at the Harvard Society of Fellows, B. F. Skinner found himself seated beside Alfred North Whitehead, and they dropped into a discussion of behavorism, with Whitehead mostly listening and trying to understand. Whitehead agreed that science might account for all behavior, except for verbal behavior--behavior Whitehead considered to involve something els
In any formula, constants (especially those obtained from handbooks) are to be treated as variables.
