In linear systems small changes produce small effects, and large effects are due either to large changes or to a sum of many small changes. In non-linear systems, by contrast, small changes may have dramatic effects because they may be amplified repeatedly by self-reinforcing feedback. Such nonlinear feedback processes are the basis of the instabilities and sudden emergence of new forms of order that are characteristic of self-organization. Complex, organized sound cannot emerge spontaneously. Whilst elephantine capsules of time are a prerequisite for the exploration of spiral vegetations of an exceedingly vast and complex system, sudden perpendicular junctures resonate smoothed interlaced constellations - making thus critical, a concurrence of circumstances towards momentum maintenance and noise propagation. \/\ The planetary tanz Galileo wrote: " by way of dialogue , which, as not being bound up in rigid observance of mathematical laws, gives place, also, to digressions that are sometimes no less curious then the principal argument" Reality is too complex for oral communication [ alpha 60 . jean luc godard ] \/\ And Life Appeared Once upon a time a single-celled organism swallowed a photosynthetic bacterium and created the first plant cell. The bacterium became a chloroplast converting light into energy on behalf of the plant - and the rest is history. Other single-celled organisms just kept on swallowing. single-celled algae swallowed primeval plant cells; these were in turn swallowed by larger single celled organisms creating microscopic russian dolls. Catalytic cycles are at the core of self-organizing chemical systems such as the chemical clocks studied by Ilya Prigogine, and they also play an essential role in the metabolic functions of living organisms. They are remarkably stable and can persist under a wide range of conditions. With sufficient time and a continuing flow of energy, catalytic cycles tend to interlock to form closed loops in which enzymes produced in one cycle act as catalysts in the subsequent cycle. Manfred Eigen, Nobel Laureate in chemistry and director of the Max Planck Institute for Physical Chemistry has lifed the term "hypercycles" for those loops in which each link is a catalytic cycle. Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan have said in Microcosmos: Multicelled organisms lost the rapid fire external information exchange, quick passed inventiveness and global data sharing of bacteria. Multicelled organisms made contributions to cell-to-cell communication and increased the powers of genetic memory. But, their data was now stuck inside the body. Most of it would take a billion years to get back out again. Ilya Prigogine, Nobel Laureate and professor of physical chemistry at the Free University of Brussels has observed that a breakdown in progress is an illusion. Under the shattered fragments new structures and processes ferment. And from these innovations come fresh wonders.

One of the first things that faces tell us is the sex of a person. Although there are only two human sexes (nn has approx 1300), humans experience many degrees of femininity and masculinity. Studies indicate that female faces are judged more attractive when they are made more feminine. In contrast, both men and women are judged more attractive when the original faces are feminized. Neoteny is the retention of juvenile physical characteristics in the adult individual. Neoteny implies an increased dependence on NURTURE (rather than NATURE). Both dimorphism-- + Neoteny++ are driven by female sexual choice. >remember the pink waters in >ther adriatic in the 80s? >from there. >u remember?! uat do u th!nk +? The mind registers time through mobility, e.g. the distance my eyelashes travel in an eyeblink. Sans repetition the fabric of time protein-folds in its own space. One may halt reality to observe it. nn - though often called an illusion - i am true. /_/ / \ \/ i should like to be a human plant \/ __ __/ i will shed leaves in the shade \_\ because i like stepping on bugs *--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*-- Netochka Nezvanova [email protected] http://www.eusocial.com http://www.biohakc.com http://www.ggttctttat.com/! n r . 5 !!! http://steim.nl/leaves/petalz *--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*--*-- --*--*--*--*--*--*-- _______________________________________________ Nettime-bold mailing list [email protected] http://www.nettime.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nettime-bold
