"Hi Claire - I'm so glad you like Chris's writing. When you have more time, I can suggest some more links. Btw, I *love* your artwork! I draw too :) Some of my cartoons and illustrations are linked to my home page: http://www.megasociety.net/Members/Gina.html (or click link below) We just started a gallery at the Mega Society East site. We have a lot of members who are artists and musicians. (Chris draws beautifully and plays guitar and keyboards excellently...plus composes music!) Oh, btw, his philosophical writings are much easier and you may enjoy his ebook. It's a great read. Here's a preview page: http://www.megasociety.net/MegaPress/Titles/AOKpreview.html We'll be releasing a CTMU ebook in about a month or so, but the material is a bit thicker.

"Laser beams and superstrings, generative systems and AI, X-rays and MRIs. From the macro to the micro, from the everyday to the exceptional, the legacy of Albert Einstein permeates this century through the tools we use, the research being conducted in numerous fields, and the continuing search for our place in the cosmos. Alongside scientists, technologists and humanists, artists have probed and responded to the post-Einsteinian landscape for nearly a century. From installations that seem to react to the pull of invisible forces to the altered landscapes and mindscapes of VR, artists continue to push the limits of available technology, stretching and questioning our notions of perception, dimension, and time. "

"More recently, Roberta Milgram has been studying the professional success of thousands of Israeli students who have performed extremely well in the sciences and mathematics. She has found that a much better predictor of career success than IQ, grades or discipline-specific test scores, or any combination of these, was presence or absence of challenging leisure-time activities that require substantial cognitive input and practice. Playing an instrument or composing music, painting, writing poetry, carpentry, building electronic devices and computer programming are examples [71]. I and my collaborators have compiled similar data. We have shown in a group of 40 male scientists that success (whether measured by impact of publications or other related measures) was statistically correlated with their active participation in music, arts and literature as adults. We also found that the scientists' styles of thinking (visual, verbal, auditory, kinesthetic, etc.) were correlated with their hobbies in that visually oriented scientists have more images in their imagination, [End Page 66] while verbally oriented ones are more likely to become science commentators and theorists [72].

"Creativity is the great mystery at the center of Western culture. We preach order, science, logic and reason. But none of the great accomplishments of science, logic and reason was actually achieved in a scientific, logical, reasonable manner. Every single one must, instead, be attributed to the strange, obscure and definitively irrational process of creative inspiration. Logic and reason are indispensible in the working out ideas, once they have arisen -- but the actual conception of bold, original ideas is something else entirely. "

"First of all, looking at art requires thinking - art must be "thought through." The prow of the Tanimbarese boat needs a long and thoughtful look, not just the passing glance, to begin to understand its message and savor its elegance. Second, thoughtful looking at art has an instrumental value. It provides an excellent setting for the development of better thinking, for the cultivation of what might be called the art of intelligence....The notion that students need to think better has something of a following. Over the past twenty years, improving students' thinking has become an enthusiasm among educators and parents alike - and for good reason, since testing programs, such as the National Assessment of Education Progress, have shown that students commonly do not think very well with what they learn....Wide-spectrum cognition. Although we tend to think of art as primarily a visual phenomenon, looking at art thoughtfully recruits many kinds and styles of cognition - visual processing, analytical thinking, posing questions, testing hypotheses, verbal reasoning, and more.

"The many arguments that computationalists and other people have presented for wriggling around Gödel's original argument have become known to me only comparatively recently: perhaps we act and perceive according to an unknowable algorithm; perhaps our mathematical understanding is intrinsically unsound; perhaps we could know the algorithms according to which we understand mathematics, but are incapable of knowing the actual roles that these algorithms play. All right, these are logical possibilities. But are they really plausible explanations? "

"Up to now, most scientists have been too occupied with the development of new theories that describe what the universe is to ask the question why. On the other hand, the people whose business it is to ask why, the philosophers, have not been able to keep up with the advance of scientific theories.... However, if we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason -- for then we would know the mind of God. "

"In research on intelligence, creativity, school performance, and professional achievement within a field, professional achievement turns out to be not highly correlated with school performance or IQ. Suppose, for example, that you are studying physics. Without a doctoral degree and an IQ high enough to help you do the academic work to get it, you're probably not going to become a professional physicist. But once you get the degree, how well does your grade point average or your IQ predict your professional success as a physicist? Not very well. The correlations are around zero. In other words, while IQ contributes to mastering relevant academic knowledge and while credentialing is an important way to filter out those who just can't hack the physics, how high your IQ is or how well you did academically is not very predictive of your success as a creative professional physicist. The same appears to apply to other fields-doctor, business person, teacher."

Now you must travel by sea.

And he will lead you further still.
He shall stand in the bow,
And the captain need only follow his eyes.
Your steeds are no use to you now, nor later,
And you will not return, so fear not.

And continue on the road that my Master has bid you.

Though only one will be required,
For they will not return either."

More the site and me...

My history of art is (I am not that old! 31 to be exact) that I once was a university student for a year or so, then I did a few portraits (the portraits started at school really, God bless the teachers) then went on to do figure paintings, life drawing, design, and a load of other arty type things. Although, throughout this time I have had ,and still have, an intrest in space/science fact and studied science, and apart from the linear technicalities, science is mysterious and fascinating. Recently I decided to put a few written ideas (in my way)that gravitate towards science further down the page and it's now an on going project. Getting back to (some of my art) that is on this site, the colour portraits are about 15 few years old!!!! and were produced with pastels and fine marker pens as commissions, yes I know what your thinking, how can they be if I have the originals? (if you've spent a couple of hours on a picture then why do you want to give it away? I accidently on purpose borrowed them (back) longer than I ought to..Shhhhhh....) These where done when people liked the "copy" idea where you recreate what's all ready there on paper, apart from the "brother" and "sleeping" pics as they where from life like my other work, mmmm.... moved on a bit since then, art is about a lot more than copying! The bedroom picture isn't my bedroom, my interior colours are gold and yellow, and more gold like the sun.....

As my knowledge of computers is a bit way off..(."OH DRAT ! THESE COMPUTERS, THEY'RE SO NAUGHTY AND SO COMPLEX , I COULD PINCH THEM...." Marvin The Martian,)... I am learning fast on how to overcome certain obstacles, so any adjustments that are to be made, will be, when I finally get my head round the idea that I have to work to certain limits, in terms of design and layout, verbal amnesia (of the typing kind), memory atrophy , total numerical recall deficit and spatial irritable brain overload thing-a-migig wotsit* <<(I'll explain later and this is explained further down the page), where the brains left hemispherical wiring to the right*, had it been left to the IT technicians to sort at the Central Computers Headquarters, would be the same as Johnny Nemonic catching the Millennium Bug Virus, knowing that asking help from Ian is like "watching hope run towards the horizon with it's arse on fire" carrying a laptop. (Ian my partner is now an IT technician leaving science preparation as in, science technician job behind) Oh, the double quote saying isn't mine by the way. A year or so ago months ago I got to grips with Photo Impact (designed for photos of course! this explains the terrible C-This Space pics further down the page (and the first 2 pics) which in terms of art (my art) was ok for then, but have moved on to bigger and better packages like Corel Paint since then (this explaines the slightly less terrible C-This Space pics in the beginning of the page, starting three blocks down from the top). These expensive art packages, where you can do something 123 different ways, still would not impress me, I would still only use 3 or 4 tools, and you have to remember, it is the artist not the tools that counts. However, the idea of changing Bitmaps to JPEG's is a pain in any case, I mean us artists want the best quality! And only 50 K per pic? this explains the distortion from a good picture before it is saved, compressed or reduced so the download time is decreased unless you want to wait 20 mins and make yourself a cup of tea for a 24 bit RGB/CTP image…Please check my "Scroll Around the Universe" link/title (below) for LARGE picture I have just recently done, and "Eggstra Terrestrial " cartoon too. Can't you see I am just playing! I have always said I don't like limitations or should I say imitations? I am working on my own web page design myself now and finding it easyish, as long as I don't have to read the instructions from the <web book> or ask Ian what to do when I get stuck, while he is in the middle of playing some rather good Jedi Knight Star Wars game. Either way, the space pictures are of an imaginary kind… I mean, you don't think that I 've actually been there, to Mars that is?

In the alien section there are series of cartoons (Purple Plasma Power starring ZEON GIRL) that will hopefully go into a story sometime in the future. May I just add I don't have dots on my forehead nor purple hair (long dark brown hair). The Essential Guide To Aliens book is about two inches tall in size and the pages have been blown up on the scanner to put on screen. The Essential Guide To Aliens (link in C-This Cartoon) and the old-ish jokes/cartoons, may have spelling mistakes (I didn't know until it was finished). The reason why I have left these in is because I don't want to redo the originals so I have just left them as they are. These mistakes are a result of my dyslexia* (there's an evolving section about this* below) I also must apologize for the terrible spelling errors that have been on this page recently, I am not always able to see them when I type them in for myself (until I check, when the site is already uploaded and it's too late lols! (Ian uploads it for me but doesn't check it , no one does! and I get Ian to upload it, If I did it, I might end up uploading it to the Nasa address by mistake. What goes up, must stay up, even space gloves. My HMTL spellchecker didn't work at first and still doesn't, so I do use a dictionary, but just recently got myself to use Microsoft word. The very last typed paragraph about Art and Realism was checked by Ian briefly, but that's about it. When reading the type bits you can fill in the bits that don't make sense, I mean, I know they do, even if you don't!! Does it bother me? Nahhh, (well? :-) what with, Thomas Eddison who was also dyslexic* and Churchill, Richard Branson, Whoopi Goldberg, Susan Hampshire, Walt Disney, and Stephen Spielberg or was that Hawking? the list goes on... (I have to give it a good name you know)...any way getting back to the site, I will be using, a lot of my so called spare time figuring out how to do my own web design in the future, so I will do my best in the meantime to keep the site interesting and original, the best is yet to come.

I rest my space :-)

C-THIS ADD ON BIT

From What is Artificial? to The Repellant Subtillionisation Effect of Matter and Its Mysterious Relation to Information Theory

What does Artificial mean in the meta-stential (metapyhsical/existential) sense? If we re-create somthing like, matter that has such proerties, what do we really mean, not only at the physical level but at the sub quantumn level and deeper, as above? Think about it. Depends on the term natural or what you think it means and probably has meaning pertaining to your prior knowledge or experience(the word used in terms of "knowledge" gained in cognition not to be confused with feeling or subjectivity) at this piont. Something can behave or appear to have similar behavior as it's original, but fundamentally (at deeper levels and more) it obviously isn't, so what I am getting at is, when do we think something becomes Artificial and when does it not? At what level from say as an example, infinte regress towards a physicalist view of nature? Or towards a more functionalist view? Is it the opposite to these or a combination or something more? If we suppose it isn't something more, then is it the CNSBMH effect (Can Never See The Back Of My Head) effect. Suppose that we have a new value for an imaginary piece of unusual behaving matter called "Subtillionite" that is hidden within the manifold of the constitution of the matter that we allready know exists, but is only brought about at very high energy levels (particle collider type of levels) and we use a hadron particle as an example, could a hadron particle be within this value whereby, because it keeps the hadron quarks within its reach and that the value of our level of observation is tied up with our exchange of value within the levels of the particle collider (this has nothing to do with Shroedingers Cat, Maxwells Demons, or any other allready known weird quantum level observation effect) has some effect that is absurdly opposite to what we expact (whcih is much like quantum thinking) in this case that when (trying) to extract a quark froma hadron the value now is not to do with breaking the charge (6 anti quarks plus 6 quarks et al.. )and attraction but that the attracative qualities to the hadron has (it's long bubble) has more to do with the energy levels that are needed to extract the quarks when we could be infact expelling the quarks back whthin the hadron with something. The "something" part is the value. The source of matter then might not be about what we extract from it and how we effcet it as a result but what we repel away when observation happens. Ever thought that source matter has repelant behavior like properties? No collapsing here, just an idea. What if we now had a source theory value and tied it in with A I. Artificial matter could be hard to re-created with not so much out of concern about us being part of what matter is, and waht matter is but because we new we couldn't do it because we repelled it away when we looked at it. CSTBMH effect.Under the rules of information theory only (by only one order of perspective of magnitute by the way), if we assume that because we have an effect on the matter we understand (Collapse of the wave function etc..), then we are really "attracting" the matter we are effecting, but not in the way that you have just read the word attract here! even it it foprms its original shape later when we are not there. I am now suggeting that Subtillionite is a strange repeller of information but has a property all of it's own when we are "in touch" with it at higher levels only (we need to know what constitutes matter, we need to know what constitutes attraction in terms of information remember, not electro weak or strong charges) so that by thinking outside attraction (the box) whthin information too, we also have repellant type behavior of matter when we are affecting it. I think that when we can unaffect the repelant Subtillionisation effect of matter when we observe it, then we might be able to understand what matter really is (from a string perspective as well) and then re create it backwards Artificially. If we want to re-create quark matter outside the hadron, then Subtillionite/ation could be a clue as to why it's hard to do. If we did do this are we any closer to finding the real part of matter? If we are can we really re-create it Artificially in Intelligence?

Sideways collapses of suprise that are embedded in longways path expansion functions

I think we are now more or less to the piont of "what is our framework?" when refering to my dimensional abduction idea. This can be equated to my question I put a few days ago, "what is the universe?" reasoning and logic and dimension and therefore reference availability. The reference is the frame but we have different frames (perceptions) that each give different reasons for us to abduct meaning or dimension to words (whcih are the "B"' letters in the A to G idea then the frames which are the A to G letters) that make up our understanding of what the word means whthin the frame work we use independantly. If we can relate this to the suprise of order, then the suprise is more or less flattening sideways reason down again and creating no dimension or refernce to my my idea of abduction with ouselves after, but that is supposed to happen. The meaning inclusion toward anything we try to understand gives dimension longways that, is missed when we have allready given it meaning sideays by suprise. Suprise reduces meaning longways from my dimensional abduction even though at the very same time gives meaning sidways by logical abduction. My dimensional abduction idea waits for these sideways collapses of suprise that are embedded in longways path expansion functions that are also closely related to "possible percpetual pathways". It goes on but I need a sandwich! ((Pasted here Feb 5th 2003 ( my original from Aug 8, 2002 see my links page Yahoo Groups) I'll be adding more pasted posts of mine from the forum/site and will combine them with some recent new ideas I have a had. I'll spell check them later this week. This relates to something new that I recently contributed to))

and on a different note

Art and thinking (as well as science) might see to why we/I can undertsand and produce more different ideas, however many minds involved in such pastimes now could be limited in vision because of such blinkered "thinking" vocabulary. The visions or perceptions of this art thinking involved, are of an awareness to be able to open up other spectra that would otherwise would not seem possible. The open awareness is aclue as to why art and thinking 1st will allow for subjective play of thought that is captured before it reaches up to objective collapsed reality if we are playing a fundamenatl part of our own problem. Thinking and art are misunderstood topics because they are not objectively interpreted but that is the upside. Who gets to think of such obscure topics? Why should a person who thinks less linear and symbolically not have just as much importance in the debate of consciousnious? because the thinking invloved is not easily captured by agreement and objective means. Conciousnnes, art and thinking are very tangled up like particles to produce "superimposed states". The new state is awarenss and new insight only if we allow entanglement to happen.
