This could be of unconscious bias. But first I caught it in my sight, the words emerged and dominant in my mind. Those pictures were taken when the summer this year had been in its final stage. Although I didn’t know whether it was male or female, the word madame came up in my mind.
It could be of male butterfly and in that case how it can be described? Anyway, regardless of being male or female, it was beautiful and marvelous.
You see. That sky blue pattern, deep blue color on its back, being on black background.
Thinking of a little bit about something associated with science, how this kind of beautiful lifeform emerged is the very question I want to raise. And why do we see it beautiful? Is there any relation with our survival? Let’s see, ——- by following beautiful butterfly, chances likely that flowers that contain honey are found. —- uuuuuuu, that doesn’t work, surely!
Below a monster-beauty visited my house. So beautiful. But it’s quite regretful of unable to present the semiconductor-precision of its built of body and wings (especially the wings, its transparent pattern and structural geometry) owing to my substandard smart phone photo.
The next is, a Black Mantis. Cool!
Here observed is a Dragon Fly. So quickly, flying around was the Dragon Fly that I could only take that picture at quite a narrow chance of it taking an instant rest on branch thereby the focus is not on the target and rather on the background woods. Anyway, you see its machine like built! Mechanic-Insect Monster!
Can you see it floating in water? Monster submarine casting its silhouette on the river bottom.
Oh! This is it! Another flying monster. I’m wondering what or who created them. Selfish gene? Maybe not only that but also —-.
Yes, it’s a nectar seeking monster!
Finally, the real monster! Most of showa-Japanese boys like this very much! NOKOGIRI-KUWAGATA. It was moon-lit night when the monster intruded into my room where I was reading blogs on wordpress. It flown from woods nearby. So, I had to take and return it to the woods under the moon light and at the same time feeding a swarm of mosquitos with an amount of my blood for their next generation. Oh, yes! Mosquitos. Another monster.
Planets the Earth and its satellite the Moon orbit around the Sun. Is it a kind of condition to lifeform? They say, the earth-like planet is quite rare, i.e. the condition for generating lifeform. The distance from stars like the sun, the mass or gravity of the planet and its planetary rotation are the decisive factors for the formation of thick atmosphere, modest temperature and atmospheric pressure, then most importantly, existence of water.
Combination of those factors. Are they really rare?
Soler system starts formulating from gravity, I suppose. Formation of lifeform needs formation of polymers like DNA, which is quite tiny comparing to gravity. And both of phenomenon are quite different. One of the theories of Gravity is “Theory of Relativity”. And the mechanism of polymer formation may ultimately be described on quantum theory. Then, unfortunately, they say, Both the two ultimate sides do not match from each other, for which modern physics are still struggling or almost saturated or stalled.
But if the period of each object, in the initial state of soler system formation, starts developing its path toward a kind of resonance quite naturally, like the sun starting its state of equilibrium between nuclear fusion and gravity, then such resonance may happen so often as equilibrium state of stars thereby as there are so many starts in the universe, there should be so many such resonances. A resonance that establishes the mechanism of formation of lifeform.
Resonance, are you OK?
Here in my mischievous, an imagination starts. Basically, some planets, not so many but around 10 of them?, orbit around its “mother” or “father” star, in our case, the sun. Each has its own orbital period and rotation period. So, I made a calculation, which is, in many ways, quite a science fiction like imaginary. Assuming that there are some kinds of oscillation phenomenon caused by those orbital periods and the summation of them forms a kind of pulse like heartbeat of a lifeform, could that pulse possibly be the initial ignition of lifeform-resonance? Here I plot the heartbeat like wave form and then the wave form is Fourier transformed on EXCEL. Obtained is the spectrum below.
Heartbeat like wave formSpectrum of the wave form
In the spectrum, we see some periods that can be counted on fingers which evokes somehow number of planets in a soler system.
OK, If I ——. Indulgence, Flirtation or a Mischievous be liberated
Then, I boldly or (maybe foolishly) ventured into considering our solar system, by applying factors in the table below to formulate a single synthesized wave form.
The data in the above table are not authorized or official one and no guarantee is made.
There are amplitudes quite different from each other therefore only larger amplitudes can be observed.
The synthesized wave form
A kind of pattern might have been generated at that time —–?
The synthesized wave form is quite different from heartbeat-like pulse. Certainly, my imagination has been from the very beginning collapsed!!! However, I do not intend to stop at this point this ignorant mischievous, courageously.
Scratch programing and moiré pattern now has come to my mind. Below are animations made from moiré pattern on Scratch program.
By superimposing multiple patterns like below, with them rotated, we can observe a kind of moving pattern so called moiré.
The left one: Two patterns are superimposed. And each rotates at the same time keeping the distance between them. You see, some transmitting movement (looks like) of waveform, so called moiré. In this case, pattern like magnetic field. The center: Two patterns. But the distance between them gradually and slowly is expanding. Then, you may observe magnetic-field-like moving pattern is somehow changing. (Compare the left). The Right: Then I tried to mock a solar-system-like arrangement. The center, the red one is a sun like star. Around are the orbiting planets. But no specific pattern is observed.
Resonance dives into self-standing energy unit?
There are some natural phenomena such as Positive Feedback, Conway’s Game of Life or Morphogenesis. In my crazy-some experiments above, I did not set a system in which elements of something of those phenomena is considered. For instance, if a kind of feedback loop or mutual interactions are laced in ——, interactions between the patterns and generated moiré pattern——, the moiré having an effect on the movement of orbiting objects and the affected movements may affect further on moiré.
Then, the final, converging result would be of the source of lifeform —–, Oh, impossible!
Moden physics say, the structure of space is composed of many dimensions. 3D (vertical, two horizontals) and time and others. 11 dimensions? I forgot. In its structure, tiny micro sized dimensional geometry so called Calabi-Yau manifolds alley in a certain order and normally we cannot see it, but it affects maybe both quantum and gravity.
If, in some future, resonance between orbiting initial planets and formation of chemical substance is well theorized, the above imagination will be of something though, or impossible maybe, here is the good place to finish my mischievous.
NOTE: This is just a playing. No scientific proof on the above is made. If you need something of proven, please find experts.
I see on the petals of a tiny flower the color of blue, indigo blue or simply deep blue.
Wondering how the color be created, surely the origin is the soil, I conclude, where the flower penetrates into with its powerful roots. Roots often means origine, I think as well.
Flower is said to be evolved from leaves, green leaves then it gives a sensation in human mind thereby triggers the evolution of consciousness.
Tiny little flower at my daily commute.
Creation should be of the nature of our universe.
We can explain the blue which comes from soil with scientific manner by referring to some chemical substances and reactions, bio-mechanism of flower. But nevertheless, so far nobody could give us no clear view of the relation between our consciousness and the color.
Someone said it evokes a feeling of survival due to its association with fruit. But I don’t think so because feeling of beauty often experienced with another thing as well, like geometry.
See, the geometry!
Anyway, the person who insist on the association with survival would raise a theory that makes proof that geometry as well should be of the sort.
People who have near-death experiences often describe flowers flourishing around but rarely say something of green leaves or lashing fresh greenery like seen in late spring or early summer. (I know only one example: beautiful butterflies flying on the canopy of woods.)
Here I do not intend to talk about near-death experiences. Instead, I am just focusing on the human consciousness.
Colors of flesh green is, at which I often feel beauty, probably a symbol of “life”; stronger than that of flowers, I think.
If a feeling of beauty should be associated with survival, why human find a feeling of beauty with fractal geometry?
Who? is truly innovative! The more an organization expands, the further ambiguity of effectiveness of high ranked persons prevails, isn’t it? That’s a typical analogy some radicals often use to seduce people to their publishments.
Then, here as well, the same analogy shows up (my lament anyway), as you know, the above statement.
Floods of power point materials, on which beautiful graphical images are abundant but at the same time no consistent and scientific logic is found, for the purpose of decision making in business process, are typical environment in modern office.
Then those who are considered high rankings are pleased at those beautiful materials, stating another ambiguous and logic-corrupted or logically immature murmur to which workaholic followers should react looks-like-keenly.
OK, sorry, it seems I have been little bit servile of my low ranked employee life.
I am not communist, and I support the effectiveness of capitalism, especially in terms of innovation. Making power point material is of cause, I think, one of the ways of being innovative.
Then, in what point, does high ranked people are considered innovative?
Scientific statement is written in quite a logical way. I am wondering why statement made by high ranked people is always not like scientific statement.
Oh god, I should have stopped this essay earlier. Maybe I will be fired as a kind of minor rebel front against company!
High-ranked ambiguous murmur triggers, and low ranked does design, but if the trigger is badly wrong? While statements by high-ranked do not contain any scientific or say any objective basis and contains only of looks-like-sophisticated but merely sensational, how could they be considered as “Productive”?
Probably, a person who raises that kind of point would never have any bit of chance of being promoted to high-ranked because that means the person does not understand what being high-ranked is all about.
Oh———–, It was long time ago, one of high-ranked said that any documents for high-ranked should be as simple and short as possible. High-ranked were all feeling quite a nuisance and bothering at all of your (low-ranked) documents and therefore they would never be interested in such bothering documents.
Bothering documents? an expression for an attempt of convincing a king?
Oh———–, Sir, I think you should not have said such a thing! Low-ranked are working hard making efforts of simplifying but without missing any essence of any documents and they just simply trying to convince high-ranked with logical and scientific approach so that objective decision making is done therefore you do not feel any such anxiety, which means we do not need high-ranked anymore. Please note that such a thing that is quite simple yet competitive and that gives us quite a profit will never exist. As you know, all the persons in a past who were innovative had made a tremendous effort i.e. there were not any simplified process to attain something special. Even a human is born throughout quite a process which even modern science has not yet well known.
Wait! OK, that’s why they said that! Objective decision making such as data driven operation may nullify the necessity of ranked organization, deteriorating the “raison d’être” of high-ranked.
High ranked often say, “Be innovative!”. “You all shall be innovative! so that revolutionary development is brought in!”, “Innovation is indispensable element for any businesspersons!”
Maybe hierarchy is necessary for any organization. But the ranks should carefully be set. Then at the same time an organization should be in a way that everyone can be innovative, and the level of innovation should be independent of the rank, putting it the other way around, being not innovative should not be on any ranks including the high ranked.
Oops I did it again! Maybe I need some natural medicine.
I can recognize music and often it evokes, in my mind, a specific scenery while nobody told me about any association between them. Is it another “Mary, The super scientist”? I mean, if someone who is a genius scientist and who is deaf from birth suddenly gains hearing capability and listens to a music, will that person awake of new fronter of knowledge or just murmur “Yes I have known it”.
Anyway, I think something unknown, which leads us to that sensation that comes at listening music, surely exists, somewhere maybe another dimension in our universe. The sensation, that can be shared with some people without acquired knowledge.
Sorry, here, I have to stop my bad habit of overstating things in association with something scientific.
Below the picture, yes, now you see it. What kind of music comes to your mind when you see it?
The story tells us something of future of —- Civilization, it looks to me. In the story, the civilization places the nature of human-being on top priority. The nature of human i.e. latent faculty which human potentially possess, is the foundation of its civilization rather than machines, devices or equipment. By further developing human faculty throughout a kind of training with help of some kind of substance that can enhance human capability, such thing as highly integrated computer is not in use, but then machines are in use only for spaceship or airplanes. For human it is impossible to fly in the sky or to transport heavy or large amount in short period of time and further it is impossible to move firster than the speed of light for interstellar travel. So, these are of works that are only available by machine. Then, for time-space navigation that is vital for interstellar travel, special human who are trained to perform it with 4-dimensional time-space perception by its highly enhanced consciousness, are active.
You, Science Fiction fan, if so, now can guess, where the story above comes from.
Frank Herbert’s “Dune”.
It is a story that extends from vast desert to universe
Science and Technology; in a form of knowledge or, of material overwhelmed society.
In its world in the story, science knowledge is quite progressed than that of ours, but at the same time not so surrounded by machines as we are.
Instead, the power of Human Consciousness, is the driving force.
As entropy has been looming over human existence further and further i.e. CO2, marine plastic, deforestation and war, (you name it!), we have to minimize entropy, ideally speaking, a kind of revolutionary shift is to come, as like war between human and AI as briefly mentioned in Frank Herbert’s “Dune”. Here the link to the official home page of Dune. https://dunenovels.com/
Anyway, I don’t know the movie which is film adaptation of the novel of Frank Herbert is popular or not, but I like it very much together with the novel because the insight the story suggests tells us something about what evolution of civilization really could be, it anyway seems to me though.
In 1960′ when the novel was published, some people already thought that AI would be a kind of risk for civilization. I think, maybe of AI, its negative side should be regarded as risk though, entropy generated in overwhelming scale by material-civilization is the real opponent of human in its war against such risk. Frank Herbert referred to AI as the opponent for human in the novel, but I think material-civilization in modern era could be the modern parallel to what he said as AI in his novel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_(novel)
Material-civilizationAI, artificial Intelligence
Consciousness is the driving force, not that way of present human civilization in which material is forcing human consciousness somehow, in the story.
Unfortunately, I could not visit movie theater for Dune 2, but anyway will see it on video in a future. For part 1, I had been somewhat expecting how the space navigator was depicted, but there was no scene of space navigator. I think it is not the major part, the movie directors or producers considered so, maybeeeee————. Dune was once film-adapted in 1984 but it seems that it was not so good for most people. Anyway, in that old version, you can see short footage of space navigator guiding huge gigantesque space craft through time-space. The scene was quite a metaphor thereby people who have not read the novel can never understand at all what the scene is all about.
Oh sorry, the point is not space navigator, rather be focused on is what and how the foundation of civilization should be. Modane world, it seems to me, is full of scientific knowledge and technology which are practiced with mass-scale material, such as machines. Then the side effect is getting out of control. Side effect caused by mass-scale material.
By contrast, in that perspective of the novel, mass-scale material seems under control while human’s natural capability takes fundamental role of civilization, I mean, full of scientific knowledge and technology which are driven by human consciousness.
Material vs Consciousness?
Of course, material is important, and some degree of mass-scale material is necessary for human to be creative as I am now practicing things like networking, netsurfing, vaccination, visiting some distant places on machine vehicle, eating Japanese ramen, reading books in air-conditioned comfort. etc.
Slavery somewhat is depicted in the novel and apparently the society in the novel is not democratic rather, noble like existence are roaming around and some parts of such existences are killing mercilessly some socially weak people. So, the civilization in the novel is not flawless neither.
Here we see two extremes, and now it’s time to really attempt to seek a sophisticated balance in between.
——–Oh, maybe, experts who have this kind of thought have long been active and amateur opinion like the above is surely abundant in the world, so with toast of beer (its just picture though), let me finish my mischievous.
Once I read about something of geometry of flowers. The article said that a key element of it is said to be pentagonal.
Fibonacci sequence, a famous mathematic, is said to be ruling over their geometry. Anyway, at a first glance, I can’t identify the relation between Fibonacci sequence and the geometry of plants and flowers, nonetheless I can feel they have certain mechanism of forming their shape, mechanism which may possibly be represented and/or modeled by mathematics.
Here is the recurrence relation of Fibonacci Sequence (Numbers). F0=0, F1=1 and Fn=Fn-1+Fn-2 for n>1 So, you see, pasts (term: Fn-1+Fn-2) accumulates in the present (term Fn). It looks to me of one of mechanisms of growth.
Also, a fact to be noticed is that Fibonacci Sequence has certain relation with Golden Ratio. The ratio is found in something that has beautiful shape.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for me to figure out how that mathematics reaches pentagonal. (There may be certain theories which were proven well by some academics or professional scientists)
Here I took pictures of several flowers which I found in a park nearby to explore a little bit into the geometry of flowers. You may find some pentagons there.
Cherry Blossom: Japanese like this very much in heart. But however deeply we love it, most of us can never be aware of its divine relation with mathematics without being told. Anyway, I can have Cherry Blossom party (Hana-mi). This is ——–, OK, the leaves look like vertically stretched pentagon, it seems. the “flowers” may contain something of Fibonacci, isn’t it?Azalea flowers. Japanese love this as well as Cherry Blossom.I don’t know the name. They were emitting fluorescence in the real siting though unfortunately picture can’t express it.Oh, Tanpopo!(Japanese for Dandelion) Can you properly pronounce “Tanpopo”? Sorry, today is about geometry of flowers and plants. So, can you find Fibonacci or pentagon there? I think in this picture there are some pentagons.
It has recently been found that an equipment went off an alarm of ERROR state and then does not proceed with water filling operation for bathtub. The ERROR code says, its temperature controller has got malfunction. EcoCute: Heat Pump Water Heater, the equipment is called. ——- Then, I contacted the service office of the manufacturer. The customer service personnel said that the production of the controller had long been stopped therefore its spare parts are no longer available. (Because the equipment is somewhat around 15 years old.)
Then, I attempted to pursue the service personnel further to seek an alternative temperature control device, saying “is that possible?”. Because, I am a sort of engineer and I understand that temperature control for water is not so difficult rather the technology, if I call it so, but anyway, is now a days of quite primitive and simply basic & matured one.
I am quite sure that it is not so difficult to find alternative parts and then assemble them together so that the same function is achieved. Of course, they have to make some adjustments so that the alternative can be installed in the very present EcoCute. That’s just a matter of engineering. But the service personnel blankly said “No sir, that’s impossible. Now the whole system should be replaced with new one.”
But temperature controller! Such a simple device! How can the alternative device not be found? There must be some alternative applicable to original system through just a basic engineering work!!! I tried to insist on, but —–, in vain.
How much CO2 will be emitted throughout the whole process of full system replacement. How much CO2 will be released to atmosphere if the temperature controller only is repaired or just replaced with new controller? Then how the difference will be.
Apparently, in the former, more of CO2 will be released than the latter. The manufacturer does not really practice sustainability, so I felt.
Maybe the company has to keep its personnel and increase its business performances; mainly the sales volume and profit.
My EcoCute looks intact in terms of its water tank, cabinet, piping, pump unit and electrical circuit, except for temperature controller. [Temp Controller] < [Whole replacement], in terms of CO2 emission.
Innovation, Economic growth, Conservation of the size of Economy, minimizing new production, maximizing innovation. Too much minimize may bring society a state of boring or depression, then no innovation and high entropy. But, too much “production” also may cause high entropy as well. And simply producing things does not necessarily mean innovation. If the similar products are continuously produced for a long period time, the state is considered as saturation; a kind of high entropy state. However, this time, replacing the unit fully is valued than replacing or repairing the temperature controller though the latter should highly be valued from the view point of carbon free society.
I see, the manufacturer would say, “Sir, we do repair it if the model is not so old for which repair parts are available”, without referring to those two ECO cycles. First of all, ecological cycle should always come first as it takes precedence over human. Ecological environment has created all the biological existence so far. Then after the dawn of human civilization, economic environment came. And both the ECOs have their own cycle respectively. Just a few decades of cycle the manufacturer takes for its economy does not match with that of ecological one, which does have rather longer time-cycle.
Anyway, now is it possible to find further controlled manner between the two sides?
EcoCute, the equipment. To produce the unit, if you have scientific and technological knowledge, you can design, fabricate and manufacture the whole in a small workshop, the whole process will take so much time though. Then, for industrial scale of production, you have to establish a factory and well organized people, energy of the process, subcontractors for parts production, help of transportation company etc. Once that industrial scale production scheme starts working, you have to feed it with continuous demand for new units, maybe overwhelmingly larger than it really is.
Is it possible to reduce new production while continuing repair work so that CO2 emission gets significantly reduced? Maybe reducing production of new units will kill the industrial scale production scheme. Then, the point is whether the manufacture can thrive on only repair work and just a few numbers of production of new units. (The number is quite limited comparing with the beginning of industrial scale production.)
Cars. Overwhelmingly frequent model-changes are introduced. If I say, it’s daily, that’s not so overstated remark, I suppose. Car makers have to keep its employees earned and to provide shareholders dividend while they are well aware of the state of saturation in terms of innovation, leaving CO2 in the air.
Can human overcome this paradox and guide its civilization to quite sophisticated and balanced state? Or else, is it a kind of unavoidable destiny of “Fall Of Civilization”?
Once I heard of Mirror Neuron. It is a kind of nerve, perhaps in my understanding. Mirror neuron, as it bears a word “Mirror”, it seems having function of mirror. Mirror reflects, especially when something that has its own consciousness sees its “reflection” on the mirror, the presence of the “reflection” causing feedback effect over the formulation of consciousness.
So, mirror neuron needs objects to be reflected, literally saying. But the device is not necessarily a real mirror rather is an imaginary perception of reflection that is taking shape in human consciousness (I’d rather say consciousness than brain) on any stimulation by any outside object it regards. For instance, human’s mirror neuron needs such outside object as other humans.
Without others human cannot shape itself, it suggests, I think. The reflection that is formulated through mirror neuron feedback process will not always be of positive rather be sometimes hater, anger, sadness, missing feeling etc. It sounds like to me something what Yoda said to Luke Skywalker.
Nevertheless, as long as others exist, our mirror neuron continues functioning, regardless of positive or negative.
Then, think about war. That means terminating the feedback loop with others. Don’t you think? Of course, exchanging fires seems somehow exchanging feedbacks but the final destination of war is to exterminate others, means cutting feedback. There only remaining are mounting dead bodies.
OK, sorry, my imagination has just overrun.
Maybe everyone has own problem in seeing the self, sometimes negatively, sometimes positively everyone sees the self. I am always trying to see myself positively but sometimes I face a situation that the more forcing me to see myself positive the further I’m getting negative. Anyway, scientifically also it has been proven that thinking positive leads human to positive manner and enhances its capability.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, one of apprentice of Yoda said, “Use The Force”. I am not saying Mirror Neuron is The Force. It’s just kind of metaphor for me.
Mirror Neuron has been and will further be an issue for researchers for neuro science and then utilized by computer scientists, phycological study etc.
Here I built a tiny SCRATCH program for short video image on my impression on Mirror Neuron. (For just killing time.)
