I keep having to change and renumber and switch brain between #AmazingPatterns in ‘beautiful pictures’ and #VisualClarity in ‘meaningful spreadsheets’.
As ‘icons’, pictures are #DigitalAssets which means Non-Fungible Tokens [NFTs] – the only way of copyrighting digital art and swimming against the mainstream of institutionalised thinking. Patenting is ‘out of date’.
But I have to press LAUNCH some time. I can’t expect anybody to read the whole lot once it’s all done, even though I shall of course turn it into an e-book. But first let’s enjoy the beauty of blog posts!
This site is designed to teach everybody who is hungry for knowledge to find it for themselves: I give you spreadsheets with which you can experiment. I try to explain but not pontificate. I try to be clear and concise even though my world is full of new concepts. I give you overviews and titles of what to expect, hoping you ‘get it’.
I try to be sequential, yet make lots of cross-connections. I try to group items into concepts. And I try to make lots of distinctions – for the sake of ‘categories of understanding’ in the spirit of Kant and Aristotle. For I am half German which makes me ‘naturally philosophical’, half Slavic which makes ‘think deeply’ and a ‘Digital Veteran’ which makes me #StrictlyLogical.
But, above all, I feed your mind with words and your eyes with #AmazingPatterns – for you to develop meaning and understanding.
The most important distinction is presumably:
- digital versus analogue [physics]
- digital versus numerical [maths].
To ensure that maths models physical realities, “Digital Numbers” needed to be invented to cater for scales, magnitudes and dimensionality in an abstract way. Now we can proudly say with Pythagoras: Everything is Number, as “Digital Numbers” are
- the ‘general model of abstraction‘
- or the ‘abstract model of generalisation‘
of what physicists call ‘grand unified theory‘.
I shall release collections of patterns first as NFTs and then as spreadsheets. In that process I shall also make the related private pages public. For the time being, I have 65 pages up my sleeve and some 200 patterns.
PS. Published in 1997, Margaret Wertheim’s book “Pythagoras’ Trousers about God, Physics and the Gender Wars is an excellent historical overview – celebrating science as conceptual enhancement, interrogating science as social practice.”
The culmination of physicists as gods is of course the god’s particle and the high energy accelerators at the European Centre for Nuclear Research [CERN] in Geneva, where I had my first job as systems analyst. Finding mistakes in the programs that physicists had written was fun, until I got bored.
But then my driver feel asleep on our way to Lawrence Radiation Lab in Berkeley and a life of ‘pain management’ began which also made me go to London.
our daily challenges…
Last time I checked less than 30% of the world’s researchers were women.
In Europe Women represent about half of workers in science and technology.
In the UK 24%. Good thing I left!? After all, I’ve tried for years and years to get my thinking turned into software. One professor of computing, maths and physics said that my prototype Visual Data Intelligence was the most important work since relativity theory. When his colleague asked why? he answered “because it’s about understanding Number.”
But he didn’t help further – although his company was supposed to finance startups. Have you heard of the NIH syndrome? [“Not Invented Here” jealousy – especially in men when women seem to ‘know better’…]
