Van Gulik's endpapers for Necklace and Calabash
Van Gulik's endpapers for his Necklace and Calabash display the 84 pearl necklace in very slightly asymmetric arrangement. 10 crossings where 4 pearls meet. two lower lobes of 7 pearls each. two upper lobes of eight pearls each. of the remaining 15 internal segments between crossings, each bears a single pearl, but the upper 2 which are bare, and one, which has an extra. 40+14+16+15-2+1, =84. Judge Dee says "Half of 84 is 42."his drawing comes out looking like taoist star charts or Lo Shu.
mine, I was thinking about a glow-in-the-dark rosary bracelet I had as a kid.
Dan Kirk's neighborhood
Just got back into reading Dan Kirk's "Do Over" series, having paused years ago in the middle of the third one, Doing It Right. Such a strong flavor!
Taking a break I looked up
((Mary Lou Hacker)conjunct(Modesto Junior College))
Ah! makes me want to start reading the whole series over again so I can catalog all my notes and findings. for example, I remember learning about a restaurant in Davey's home-town I promised to go to, but now I'd have to read all though from the top just to find the name.. can't remember how closely Davey and Brian's trip through all 50 states is narrated either, though I often dream of following in their steps and doing the same.. ok, here it is: I'll start over
Celebration Postcard #6 !!
I'm writing this quick note to tell you I finally found the Canberra promotional tankard I told you about!! the one my dad gave me. He got it at a conference. I think Canberra makes mass spec machines like he buys for his lab, so they gave him this cool tankard that he brought home to me as a present. I remember it had a little tag or something on it explaining that it was made out of a special metal that absorbed the taste of what ever you habitually put in it, so you should only use it for one type of drink, whatever was your favorite. (at least that's what I understood as a kid, but I think I was right. I've since lost the little note) That made it my favorite mug, but I never used it because I was debating what to put in it, and thinking of the future, when I might get into some adult drinks, etc.. (I think the note mentioned types of ales)I was really considering Ah!-Laska mint hot chocolate, but the store we got it at stopped carrying it. So I never used it and it got put away somewhere, and I've looked here and there for it on and off in the years since then. found it today, still unused! Love, Yasi
This gold-covered Skylab Orbital Workshop was the back-up for the 1973-74 Skylab project. Three crews of astronauts lived and worked in Skylab. The longest mission was almost 3 months.
Electrical energy is provided by 140,000 solar cells in the wing attached to the side. Below is the multiple docking adapter through which the crews entered the spacecraft.
speaking of lockboxes
pursuing the idea of time-ratings for safes, I'd imagined a safe whose dial sets a time after which the safe will open. something like a microwave I suppose.
nice night-light experiences leading me to work on advancing darkroom timers' routing conceptions now. looking for prior art in the 70's chemistry lab, 80's(?) X10 home automation, 90's(?) lighting show control, and where else ? particular moments in the spread of embedded microprocessors yielding degree of modularity.
colored cigarette smoke
finally saw something akin to what I'd imagined when first hearing a Boston-macrobiotic cigarette story, of a teacher who smoked, said: 'oh, there's blue yin smoke that falls, and red yang smoke that rises. Cigarettes are good to smoke if you hold them pointing up so you take in only the yin smoke'. lit from the side with afternoon light, I saw the blue and red smoke, and sometimes green and other colors. Rainbow training! reaching after a dispersing rainbow, having the sensation that we can learn to see them all over the place
my favorite passage from the Aeneid (at least it was back when) with the rainbow snakes coming out of the ocean. uh, they might not be rainbow, but there's more to ancient color than first blush , and there is some basis for claiming 'varigated' or 'uncertain-saturated' color here.
..the frothing ocean...
Lockbox Soxhlets
a little too out-of-it to know if the analogy-makes- any-sense but my some-time-ago-creation of the not-an-alarm-but has come-in-handy, and I'm can't-help-thinking of 'Soxhlet' my dad told me about for-some-reason. He-loves-saying-it.

I'll leave you with a passage from When Rogues Fall Out:
"INVENTORS are a much-misunderstood class. The common man, in his vanity and egotism, supposes that they exist to supply him with various commodities of which he dimly perceives the need. But this is an entirely mistaken view. The inventor produces his invention because, in the existing circumstances, it has become possible. It is true that he, himself, tends to confuse the issues by persuading himself optimistically that his invention has a real and important utility. His inventive mind goes so far as to create an imaginary consumer, so that he sees life in a somewhat false perspective. The genius who devised a family Bible which could be opened out to form a billiard table, no doubt envisaged a pious type of player who had need of some means of combining the canon of scripture with a cannon off the red; while, to the inventor of a super magic-lantern which could throw pictures on the clouds, the night sky was no more than a suitable background on which to declare the glory of Blunt's Milky Toffee.
But this is mere self-delusion. In reality, the inventor is concerned with his invention. Its use is but a side issue which hovers vaguely on the periphery of his mental field of vision. I emphasise the fact, because it has a bearing on the events which I am recording. For our invaluable laboratory assistant, Polton, was an inveterate inventor, and, being also an accomplished and versatile craftsman, was able to turn out his inventions in a completely realized form. So it happened that a certain large cupboard in the laboratory was a veritable museum of the products of his inventive genius and manual skill; examples of ingenuity— sometimes fantastically misguided— the utility of which he would expound to Thorndyke and me with pathetic earnestness and appeals to "give them a trial." There were spectacles which enabled the wearer to see behind him, there was a periscope walking-stick with which you could see round a corner, a large pedometer with movable dials for metres and yards and a micrometer adjustment of impracticable accuracy, and all sorts of clockwork devices and appliances for out-of-the-way photographic operations. But optical instruments were his special passion, whence it followed that most of his inventions took an optical turn.
I am afraid that I did not treat these children of Polton's imagination with the respect that they deserved. Thorndyke, on the other hand, made a point of always examining even the wildest flights of the inventor's fancy with appreciative attention, realizing— and pointing out to me—
that their apparent oddity was really due to the absence of appropriate circumstances, and that those circumstances might arise at any moment and give an unexpected value to what seemed to be a mere toy. And that was what happened on the present occasion. One of Polton's most eccentric productions suddenly revealed itself as, an invaluable instrument of research. But perhaps I am beginning the story at the wrong end. I had better turn back and take the incidents in their proper order."

WHAT IN THE WORLD? TOP TO BOTTOM
I haven't seen it mentioned any where that the Oberheim Perf/x housings are stackable. They've got four little hooks underneath that lock into what I'd supposed on first glance to just be stylish ventilation slots in the top. Certain things it's nice to have 2 of, and it's nice to think of a pair of Cyclones multiplying each other's results. (reminds that there are such things as anticyclones, too, and Stommel and Moore's Introduction to the Coriolis Force) --just now seeing 'cyclone' as a rare forceful macro expression of otherwise too subtle to notice laws as sometimes algorithmic arts give us hope ofthe only place I've seen two Oberheim Cyclones in one photograph is on Tom Moravansky's website and he didn't seem to know about stacking them... I wonder what my reward will be. perhaps an introduction to whoever made the nice design for the housing, panel sticker, manual, cardboard box, etc..
When you imagine getting blown about by a cyclone in which direction are you blown? that is: is your imaginary cyclone an anticyclone? Is it different on TV in the other hemisphere?
further on the inward directions I remember Rich Shull notes that some come to his blog by searching for "looking up and to the right".

looking up the deep backyard hole
speaking of whiffs, as in 'somehow...', (I've) been cooking, and tasting whiffs as I go. Or this particular brand, or this particular batch, has a hint of that taste, reminiscent of the country I've been exiled from, becomes my unknown favorite. A degree of humanity already, to let it become favorite, and another to have it unknown.
Have I already mentioned about repeatable experiences, about tea, the same circle every time? about the ocean: a different way in which the scale of detail helps it be the same later. I tied a barrel sling around my tea yesterday (Haven't settled on which edition of Ashley's Book of Knots to find yet but I hear it's in there under #459, #2176, #2177), imagined lowering it down a backyard hole to a waiting friend. Having tied a knot, or felt one, it's logic is absorbed somewhere, sensitized to it's particular complication. Pulling up bights, in anything [e.g. language], did I call what the bights do 'humanity'?
This question echos weirdly, throwing loops in the rope, hoping at last to hitch onto something. I think I might have.

this word 'somehow', I think I learned from Clark Ashton Smith, or Lovecraft, or from my imaginary friend of theirs they told me about.

A truck passes by the slightest whiff of it's music passing through the rolled up windows-- actually less than slightest, so the whiff is no longer of music but sub-music.

I note it's been four months since last post, vulnerable to the habits of mind this log's format encourages.

grouping sugar factors at the sugar factory
I'm down to our last sugar cube, my team having eaten 251 of them. It seems a good number to have had in so surprisingly short a time. I hear the first cubes (a pink and white present!) came by the 350, and their commercial successors by the 250. I'm curious which of their respective factors (2*5*5*7 and 2*5*5*5) got paired to make a box. Ours (C&H) could have been 4*7*9 and brought the wrapper closer to a fold-out cube-eater's progress-bar, but 3 met 4 instead to make a nice tissue-box of 3*7*12.

I bought a box of sugar cubes a few days ago and it's been wonderful to "faire" a few "canards" whenever I feel like it-- turns out: mornings mostly. Wondering about them this morning computer suggested that there were surely sugar cubes at the boston tea party. I replied that there must have been cubes, but that they might have been ice-cubes and lemon slices in the iced-tea of the time, and that I couldn't recall exactly. (I also thought of Fourier's lemonade ocean, but didn't mention it)Yesterday I found a Bob Cobbing note tucked away in a book about animal walks:

Not owning a 256e yet, hopefully soon, How similar is the 281e OR's to the 256e?
Yahoo.Groups.Buchla.200e #1533 yasi_p@hotmail.com

wow! what a beautiful question!:
>How similar is the 281e OR's to the 256e?
To be able to answer this at all I have to make a lot of assumptions about what the two 281 subsections that are feeding the maximum-selector-circuit are doing. Searching for what these assumptions could be is a really fun part of thinking about the question. another fun thing is that the question seems to proceed from observed behavior without too much hinderance form theory.
One situation that comes to mind has both subsections set to Decay mode and triggered by a common pulse. If their rise and fall times are set in different ways to the same overall envelope length, then looking at their OR output and turning the associated control could produce results indistinguishable from one of the subsection outputs manipulated with a 256e.
makes me realize I always felt the OR sections' control range was too narrow. now I see one simple reason why: in some situations like the one described above the OR control range could be sensibly doubled by switching the inputs at the end of the present range. And I know there ought to be even more besides. yet more notes towards a 281F I guess
another situation where we find indistinguishable (or nearly so) behaviors in the 281e OR and the 256e is btained by setting the leveled 281e subsection to Release mode and constraining the triggering pulse to last as long as the unleveled subsection's envelope time. Or we could simply trigger the Release mode subsection from the unleveled Decay mode output. In either case we see some kind of dead-band-type behavior at the OR output that could be found with a 256e
begs more: hysteresis-like possibilities for the 256e by using different transfers for rising vs falling inputs. ..extending this to general slope dependent look ups
another thing I love about the prompt: the impossibility of answering in the same spirit it was asked

Thanks Yasi for the reply....
what I was trying to ask in a very simplistic/naive way was ....to my mind the OR's seem to mix A and B voltage by turning the dial left or right, so therefore isnt that to a small extent what the 256e does? What exactly are breakpoints?

no. The OR section only has a control for the second input. The first input is always at maximum. It is not a crossfader between the 2. AND, the crossfader in the 256e mixes the two signals together, it does not give only the higher of the two. That means if the lower of the 2 signals is moving around, it will make a difference in the output, where as in an OR circuit it would not.

ok I try again: cray's two questions on the 256e: is it like the 210e? is it like the 281e's OR section?
I personally feel it's more like the OR section than the 210e (though I say clearly: it really is a personal question. a personable question !). Set up your 281e like how I described earlier: A and B sections triggered together and having about the same total envelope time but doing divergent things during time. the OR section will do some of the things a 256e subsection would do given an input of the same duration. We could imagine the similarity is that in both situations the time stays about the same globaly but in a more localized view the time is getting warped. the 256e is basically like 4 of those with 2 input vc cv crossfaders in front of each section. So besides the crossfaders there's this whole other bending thing happening.
I note here: the time-bending/flopping/flipping is a perceived effect distinct from user-manual texts about what's going on. and even divergent from the front panel markings. Someone hung up on what they think they know might say: "there's no temporal component to the 256e's behavior; time needn't enter into it's description." or even "oughtn't", and as proof read me the front panel legend. But I know how to read. I also know how to hear, and of the two, I like the second. not that reading and hearing should stand for degrees of rigidity, but perhaps you know what I'm getting at
Distinct from the OR section, in the 256e each subsection starts with one input to make the warping things, not two like the OR.
it's the warping that's particular to the 256e-- the crossfader part of the 256e's behavior cray's right in comparing to any old mixer in a general way. BUT again the time attitude is distinct: in a static situation where we're just aiming to get two control signals both effecting some parameter in a particular fixed proportion it doesn't really matter much if we use a 256e or a 210e because we usually have a multiplier at the final parameter input.
In a dynamic situation (time enters) we notice immediately the difference and to mitigate the difference takes a bit of patching (or several coordinated hands: ask Neil Young's tech!). The 256e CAN do a 210e-type mix of 2 inputs, but that's just one of many behaviors that all feel about the same to it
I won't even ask if I'm helping. just make the text pile and let it be searched. I put characters in order.

description of today's reward
Spent as long as needed at Joanne fabric today (it's own reward) looking over available flavors of black and white velcro with a chess field in mind.

associative memory, damaged key
by luck: the first three recollections prompted by "box" give us sequential pages-- fill in the story a little bit:
ascending the spiral
Reading Lethbridge's Power of the Pendulum, I started to wonder if Gayle Greeno knew his work. Lethbridge imagines cats dowsing using their whiskers and ascending the "spiral of rates", only four whorls of which he's examined, but which he indicates continues on, while Greeno's ghatts slowly learn to ascend the spiral to the seventh turn as they mature.
Lethbridge found his rates to be spiraling by what seems to me rather circuitous reasoning: following the leading fact that out-of-body experiences often include the viewing of the recently vacated physical body from a specific altitude and azimuth he connected the two points over 6-1/2 feet distant, the viewer and her body, with a spiral because of his finding that his pendulum rates tended to recur with a period of 20 inches and that the recurrence was not perfect, but rather suggested a relation analogous to that between the physical and astral planes. So a three dimensional Archimedean spiral, but what ought it's height function be? the only illustration I've found in Power of the Pendulum leaves quite a bit to the imagination! I haven't yet studied his data on false positions; perhaps those will delineate things for me a bit more sharply.
All this, not just to poke at Lethbridge, but to wonder out loud if Greeno could have followed the same trail independently, or perhaps come to the same end by another route
Neill-Nouy units
"There is no scenery -- only grey curtains. When the cue is Enter villagers through gap in hedge, the actors push the curtain aside." This from Neill's Summerhill.
I came to it looking for this other remembered fact: "Children who come to Summerhill as kindergardeners attend lessons from the beginning of their stay; but pupils from other schools vow they will never attend any beastly lessons again at any time. They play and cycle and get in people's way, but they fight shy of lessons. This sometimes goes on for months. The recovery time is proportionate to the hatred their last school gave them" while following Pierre Lecomte du Nouy's derivations in his Biological Time.
I'm searching now for more mental recovery time data in the hopes of uncovering something like Nouy's unit.
[by the way, when looking for the bit on time proportions in Summerhill, GoogleBooks couldn't help much, but eklavya.in/pdfs/res delivered. I'll post about their namesake's psychic resonator soon enough.]
more house equations
well, just came across Georg Pick's Theorem relating lattice points (columns) to areas, and somehow coprimality (GCD) -- I like this pop book of Keith Ball's quite a bit so far. It's nice having lattices stay on so long, giving a chance for neighbors to drop by. Today's office hours saw an old friend come by, looking a bit worse for wear: 6 progressively moth-eaten leftovers were all the networked evidence I could find of the cover I drew for the Curtains' FAST TALKS. At least they were all still square, and enough to point out the lattice has been on my mind quite a while now. Someday I'll post up a one-step-bigger-along-the-progression scan of this old friend, and perhaps the same week I'll figure out how to post a few stills from "Mystery Liner" showing 3 peacoats' 6 parallels becoming a swimming lattice itself.
Buckminster Fuller made much of the exponentiations of 1001, I wonder if he ever tried something like 0x1001^2, 0x1001^3 ... gets a whole lot of numbers looking pretty good, namely all the (x^3)+1's. I'm not just posting to make fun with Bucky, but out of myself too, as I find myself doing 10901*91, 109901*91, 1099901*91, wondering if there's some closed-ish positional number system with unequal steps. Do you know how to say what I mean?
Before a couple days ago I'd never considered any personal reasons for anyone's shacking up in an arcology of Soleri's but feeling far from a few animal friends gave me new look at it. Posted on the inside of my door in imitation of a hotel emergency exit plan is Samuel Sagan's map of the Temple of Eisraim, an aid to imagining living in the living plass. I'm thinking now of replacing it with an arcology escape route behind plexiglass passing by all my friends' quarters.
at Don's, listening to the 259 mod pulse going into independent AM, FM, TM and phase lock depths, coming out as much more, I'm still amazed-- Sweetheart, you opened that bottle of water like a safe-cracker! lately the partial inseparability of dimensions has been coming back more and more frequently, and a knob that says as much would be quite a cracksman's treat!
kinds of rewarming!
In connection between the last thermodynamics question's lifelike expansion and the talk on kinds of heat and kinds of cold, I've uncovered some precursors in Sigmund Rascher's work. His translators mention both "dry cold" and "animal warmth", the special transference of the latter being investigated following Himmler's intuition. My intuition agrees entirely, in fact, that I'd be more likely to be returned from freezing to the living by the tapping of sensual, psychic, erotic energies in aid of the mechanical ones.
some bits from the Nuremberg trial transcripts:
"What is an airfleet or flight surgeon or sea rescue service to do when they fish a man out of the North Sea? Are they to warm them in blankets or warm them in a cradle, or give them whiskey or put them in a hot bed or treat them with diathermy of the heart."
"Just as the temperature is reduced more quickly by cold water than by cold air, so an increase in temperature is better attained by warm water than by warm air. We found most successful the effect of so-called ultra-short waves in rewarming. While a rat, with its critical body temperature of nineteen degrees, recovers totally in thermostatically controlled temperature of forty-two degrees in about three-quarters of an hour, it can, subjected to such low frequency alternating currents (Verschiebestroeme), appear almost entirely normal in its motor and sensory reactions after two to three minutes. The observation that in a hot sand bath the rewarming occurs as rapidly as in a hot water bath seems to be of practical importance."

Experiments for re-warming of intensely chilled human beings by animal warmth.
A. The purpose of the experiment: To ascertain whether the re-warming of intensely chilled human beings by animal warmth, for example, the warmth of animals or human beings, is as good or better then re-warming by physical or medical means.
B. Method of the experiments: The experimental subjects were cooled in the usual way, clad or unclad, in cold water of temperatures varying between fo[u]r degrees Centigrade and nine degrees Centigrade. The rectal temperature of every experimental subject was recorded thermo-electrically. The reduction of temperature occurred within the usual span of time, varying in accordance with the general condition of the body of the experimental subject and the temperature of the water. The experimental subjects were removed from the water when their rectal temperature reached 30 degrees Centigrade. At this time the experimental subjects had all lost consciousness. In eight cases the experimental subjects were then placed between two naked women in a spacious bed. The women were supposed to nestle as closely as possible to the chilled person. Then all three persons were covered with blankets. The speeding up of rewarming by light cradles or by medicines was not attempted.
C. Results:
1. When the temperature of the experimental subjects was recorded it was striking that an after-drop of temperature up to 3 [degrees] C occurred, which is a greater after-drop than that seen with any other method of rewarming. It was observed, however, that consciousness returned at an earlier point, that is a lower body temperature than with other methods of rewarming. Once the subjects regained consciousness they did not lose it again, but very quickly grasped the situation and snuggled up to the naked female bodies. The rise of body temperature then occurred at about the same speed as in experimental subjects who had been rewarmed by packing in blankets. Exceptions were four experimental subjects who, at body temperatures between 30 [degrees] C and 32 [degrees] C, performed the act of sexual intercourse. In these experimental subjects the temperature rose very rapidly after sexual intercourse, which could be compared with the speedy rise in temperature in a hot bath.
2. Another set of experiments concerned the rewarming of intensely chilled persons by one woman. In all these cases rewarming was significantly quicker than could be accomplished by two women. The cause of this seems to me that in warming by one woman only, personal inhibitions are removed, and the woman nestles up to the chilled individual much more intimately. Also in these cases, the return of complete consciousness was strikingly rapid. Only one experimental subject did not return to consciousness and the warming effect was only slight. This person died with symptoms suggesting cerebral hemorrhage, as was confirmed by subsequent autopsy.
D. Summary:
Rewarming experiments of intensely chilled experimental subjects demonstrated that rewarming with animal warmth was very slow. Only such experimental subjects whose physical condition permitted sexual intercourse rewarmed themselves remarkably quickly, and showed an equally strikingly rapid return of complete physical well-being. Since excessively long exposure of the body to low temperatures implies danger of contral damage, that method must be chosen for rewarming which guarantees the quickest relief from dangerously low temperatures. This method, according to our experiences, is massive and rapid supply of warmth by means of a hot bath.
Rewarming of intensely chilled human beings by human or animal warmth can therefore be recommended only in such cases in which other possibilities for rewarming are not available, or in cases of specially tender individuals who possibly may not be able to stand a massive and rapid supply of warmth. As for example, I am thinking of intensely chilled small children, who are best rewarmed by the body of their mothers, with the aid of hot water bottles.

So as we deduce when moving from the longest-coffee-heat problem to the longest-body-heat one, heat is not just physical, one woman serves better than two for the reheating of a frozen man.
What's more, some of the report's unread bits are at least described: graphs showing the time-course of the rewarming, organized by type, and of particular interest, distinguishing the cases where intercourse followed from those that didn't, showing they grasped more of our nature than many of us today!

precious signals
Signals! how to both make them and get to keep making them. So-- how to make the most, best.
thinking of Kay Sorg, my 8th grade science teacher, who once asked the question of whether boiling coffee and chilled cream should be combined early or late to longest preserve their combined heat, makes me think of the question of Shakuni's blood's best chance for revenge. His entire family was imprisoned and fed only enough for one with the hope they would all die. The solution to that thermodynamics problem was not to share the food but to feed it all to the youngest life, their best chance at revenge.
When should the cream's and coffee's heat be combined with the body to sustain its heat for the longest duration? I believe Kay Sorg faces the possibility of imprisonment now, and I'd like to present this and the other questions it brings up to her. (how many calls from prison are we now allowed? what precious signals!- to pass along a puzzle in moments that lasts for years (for me it's another ratio of 6 or 7 orders of magnitude!)!)
how to best bring the other world here. how to open the space most, longest, best/
Staying alive is part of it, and staying awake, and being rich might be too!

my house's equation
I've found the way to see what might be seen sitting in the middle of home in an array of columns: GCD again! If the steps to a column are reducible by steps to another it's occluded by the part's landmark. In the talks I've followed so far Reimann's Zeta function gives 6/pi/pi as the portion of visible columns the bigger my house gets assuming too riduculously thin columns.
I think a small house would serve better anyways, as long as it was warm enough, the deviation from the calculated shown in the ragged line of column plinths' shapewaves to be continued in surrounding topiary giving a big feeling.

hair dimensions alphabetized
How much hair does one need to be able to flip it? Separating the question by dimension, I need very few hairs do it, if only long enough.
Read a bit today on dimensional formulae after alphabetizing a list of words for coffee from languages of differing orthographies. That was fun for a start, and now I feel like alphabetizing units by their dimensions: first would come the dimensionless constants, then dimensionless units, followed by length, area, volume; mass.. starts to get funny here, and the fun is a bit like gray code, but brighter!
the dimensionless units might like better to be folded over the rest showing their spacious origins;
parting the hair before flipping it

column's counter
The talk about kinds of heat brings us naturally to IR and wanting to put Infrarotheizung in the walls. From here, I think of Wittkower opposing wall-architecture to column-architecture, and of columns as my idea of a fun time. So, together, I see now IR emissions from columns opening the way for me to live in an opened column environment-- I won't need walls when I have heat!
this brings me to my question: I think I once saw on TV (Square One, I think) a formula for the number of columns visible when standing inside an array of them, but I can't find it now. How's it go?
when considering the limit of visibility of the distant or nearly occluded columns, think on the surprising durability of my 1 minute memory at a distance of ~20 years: a range of 10 million to 1! I know not all the minutes stand out so strongly, but many certainly do, and the televised formula's minute of fame has come to me not just this once, but many times since. I recall remembering it being driven past fields planted in grids, trying to catch the passing shapes waves in the column's varying visibility.

adding light to heat
The night my car first wouldn't start I shined my phone's light into the engine compartment and was convinced that some large part was missing. I later realized it only looked different because I was comparing it to my sunlit memories. The phone's backlight penetrated the surface the sun had made showing me the pavement under the engine I'd not seen so much of before.
Taking a shower in my elliptical bathtub a night after a morning one I played at making waves as I had then and saw them so differently: again the artificial light penetrated a surface the sun had made while it was up. My sunlit waves reflected crosses, while the night waves lensed the vanity lighting into bouncing lassos.
So I found different kinds of light to go along with the kinds of heat I've been thinking of for years: sun-heat, fire-heat, steam-heat, water-heat, air-heat. Bath-heat warming me up while I read Carroll's Circular Billiards or wonder on what someone's mom once told me about the chaos bouncing around inside the slightly imperfect ellipse. Better to feel!
This second I wonder about kinds of cold!

an intermediate result
on the old subject of Kierkegaard's words on James 4:8, I recently made a little step summarized by: Purity of 'purity of heart is willing one thing' is heart.
how do you call a hand-sized plastic box with a slot cut out of one face disclosing a freely rotating bristle- encrusted wire mounted inside such that sliding the box over a surface rolls the bristle wire over it transferring dust and dirt from the surface to the box. The box also happens to pop into two pieces so the dirt can be easily removed later on, and then pop back into one piece.I've been asking and getting no help dear reader.
some computer questions
I've been asking a few questions here recently. so here's one more from the vaults:
Is there a internet search engine that pays attention to punctuation marks?
I was also going to ask how to tick GUI checkboxes from the keyboard as I've been trying to use the keyboard more (and one-handed, and left-handed, and mousing reverse-grip left-handed, too. Actually, I'm trying to get past even that now, to just keeping on the flow and feeling both hands as much as possible), but I figured it out: once you TAB onto one, SPACEBAR does the trick.

a little on driving
I note here, something I haven't seen mentioned before on the subject of driving:
the effect of accelerations on the vertical tracking (pitch) of the road surface. I noticed this early on in a gross way, feeling my way over speed bumps, that decelerating coming onto the bump and accelerating while leaving it keeps the car tracking the surface smoothly. I had supposed the principal similar to popping a wheelie: accelerations first tend to pitch the car's nose up decelerations, down, but now that I write out these two long growing parts of my idea they seem to not lay quite as neatly together as one thing like I'd imagined. Maybe "tracking" was the wrong image-- if only for the reason that I see now it leaves out entirely the shock absorbers, leaving them to be canceled by my foot's activity. Well, I'll just watch more what happens: that's what I'm really aiming at here anyways.
Another thing I've started to pay attention to while driving is hitting the little reflectors glued to the lane divisions when changing lanes. Trying not to touch them has given me a finer perception of the total road surface. It helps to have these tricks of getting to perception and away from oversimplifying reality.

Kennedy's keyword
Speaking of playfair ciphers: it seems JFK cut one into a coconut, but I haven't had much luck finding what keyword he used, and the closer I get to the details the less sure I am that he used one at all. I'd like to know
materials science by proportion, part 2
so, last I mentioned it I hadn't really gotten to the materials science part of the proportion story, but it's short: 'tatami-' describes proportion by material embodying it; 'golden-,' too, but in reverse-- the proportion embodying an abstract quality described by the material. There must be others
I first thought of crystal lattice constants (zb, CdS-paned, 1:1.624.., close to gold!), and the 7 systems caught my eye though I still don't know what to do with them. speaking of which, yesterday I spent some time extending Euclid's algorithm to unequal pane dimensions, but didn't get farther than 2:1, and even that I think I might have mixed up. funny that the thing I came up with kind of reminded me of the Stein's binary version with the factors of two taken out and saved for later. I just kept in mind parity of the number of subtractions before switching measures, and used the last parity leading to zero remainder to either divide by 2 or not. I'm not sure if this is really right to have done but it seemed to work and the sounds surprised me!

roman side note
By the way, I've been thinking of roman numerals for the last year thanks to Shannon's THROBAC, so seeing last post's "Ctrl+C-Ctrl+V" made me think of Ctrl+C+(-ctrI)+V. [and thinking so made me tidy towards it, too] Elements out of strictly descending order having their signs reversed by roman convention we can make it just nice looking CCIV.
materials science by proportion
Speaking of coming in pairs of threes: I recently read, I think in Sayers' somewhere, "square paned," and have found it since in others'. 'Recently' meaning sometime since I've had Euclid's algorithm steadily on my mind, so the windows naturally made me think of its proof of the window's commensurable dimensions. I wondered then about panes of other proportions: 'golden-paned', for example was the example I found for my marginal note prompting future wonder.
That future came today when tatami mats suggested themselves as members, immediately followed by bricks, which I had just a little less recently thought of as adjuncts to a then-separate look at cultured stone. Bricks kept their place as adjuncts for today while I defocused on tatami mats --the most promising and elusive of the partial finds: a paper entitled "the forty-one steps," yet to be located in full
square-paned is to GCD as golden-paned is to Greatest Golden-Tile as bricks [header-, stretcher-, english-, garden wall-, flemish-, quarter-, herringbone-, basket-, american-, rat-trap- Bonds] are to [H-, S-... (-CD)s] as tatami-covered is to Greatest Tatami Mat Tile.
Along this sentence we are asking not only for the largest tiles possible, but first for the decomposition to be made in irrationally proportioned units, and then their arrangement to follow some special rules I've had trouble locating. Hopefully the forty one steps will tell all.
The least vague source I've found so far has been a Alt+PrtScr-Ctrl+V google books' limited preview of Heino Engel's "Measure and Construction of the Japanese House", most repeating one another to say only that "mats must not be laid in a grid pattern, and in any layout there is never a point where the corners of three or four mats touch" while implying that there's much more to be found out somewhere, and perhaps Ctrl+C-Ctrl+V'ing wikipedia's Image:Tatami_layout_1 that one might have drawn in the same time.
still, there's enough to start some thinking, so I'm thankful: Thanks!
But the way, what do you call two shapes made by slicing a cylinder at an angle, made to rotate relative to each other about their once shared symmetry axis for the purpose of producing a rising motion? It has something to do with saloon doors, but probably much more to do with something simpler. I'd like to know.
