Nature indeed has favorite patterns of propagation, from sound waves to cell division — and the reproductive foundation is “self-similarity,” copying and varying the self, which encapsulates logarithms, fractals, spirals/chirals and the exemplary patterns described below. Understanding and being able to analyze the patterns that repeat across different orders of magnitude and scale will helpContinue reading “Nature, Math, Computer Science, Harmony: 3 Patterns Of Morphogenesis”

Light + Perception: Photons, Phosphenes & Dreams
How we see or perceive with the senses affects how we describe and categorize things, and the significance and purposes we assign to them. Even the most “data driven” type of person views through a unique lens of life experiences and within a set of shifting emotional states. And there’s great beauty in that, givenContinue reading “Light + Perception: Photons, Phosphenes & Dreams”
Art, AI & Ethics: The Making Of “All Souls”
“All Souls” is my first earnest oil painting, and a 4’x3’ at that. It’s in a realistic style, although the scene is surreal: As you can see from the Wombo Dream.AI demo, the subject is a white mouse, unfortunately often bred as a test subject. Its innocence here is highlighted by the rainbow bridge inContinue reading “Art, AI & Ethics: The Making Of “All Souls””
Studio Shangri-La Podcast: Philosophy + Biology — ‘Foundnetics’ & A New Paradigm Of Life
This episode considers genetic changes from making intentionally different choices, evolution on purpose, how technologies mirror this and help us go beyond ourselves, and understanding nature. The next episode is about forms of creation or making art that occur “off the canvas” or “outside the box” if you will, and of how ‘the art of’Continue reading “Studio Shangri-La Podcast: Philosophy + Biology — ‘Foundnetics’ & A New Paradigm Of Life”
Quantum Biology + Computer Science: Photosynthesis, Quantum Coherence & Constructive Noise
“Nature isn’t classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d better make it quantum mechanical, and by golly it’s a wonderful problem, because it doesn’t look so easy.” — Richard Feynman Photosynthesis is an amazingly efficient and fast circular process of energy conversion that’s evolved in bacteria and plants overContinue reading “Quantum Biology + Computer Science: Photosynthesis, Quantum Coherence & Constructive Noise”
