notes towards:::: ## all that is not information, redundancy (discard), form (endo/exo couplings), restraints (internal/external) is noise, the only possible source of new couplings/patterns - noise is that which doesn't have a marker, a meta-tag or context mark up identifying it see http://twm.co.nz/pribram.htm Pribram ## ## neils bohr, (writing in epoch of species chauvanism towards the use of symbolic orders): no photon exists until a detector fires, only a developing potentiality. particle-like and wave-like behaviour are properties we ascribe to light. without us light has no properties, no existence. there is no independent reality for phenomenon nor agencies of observation ## ## immunology + endodata see http://www.cs.unm.edu/~immsec/papers.htm design
a non-metaphorical use of interface tries to liberate machines from rhetoric ## ##
human reading is too slow to comprehend complex data clusters so with HCI they are abridged > visual knowledge, knowledge that is image based
visual interfaces become redundant in machine-machine communication. the coupling of knowledge to visual interfaces generates the panoptical survey � digital calculation beyond the subjecthood refers neither to the differential symbolic order represented on the monitor screen nor to the world outside the screen � the digital machinery is untransparent (Zizek)
interface suggests an in-between, but it is not transitive � when the screen is itself the message, a shifter in between 0 and 1, a pure cut (re. Otto Roessler discussing http://meta.orang.org/OMA/orang/culture/847001.html endophysics .) cf. �the Heisenberg cut�, the ontological cut, and "the Cartesian cut", the epistemological cut (Matsuno 1999, Primas 1993, Atmanspacher 1994, 1999, see also Prigogine�s �phase separation� 1980)
in recent military conflicts smart bombs check themselves against stored maps of the terrain � they know as soon as they are able to enhance their algorithms by computing interactively
the ultimate interface would be the abandonment of interfaces and the immediate sending of sensual data from human-human, machine-human, human-machine, machine-machine
Internalism/endo- the p.o.v in science, with antecedents in phenomenology, the work of J.J. von http://www.zbi.ee/~uexkull"/>Uexk�ll , and the autopoeisis model of Maturana and Varela. thinkers include Stanley N. http://www.nbi.dk/~natphil/salthe Salthe , Koichiro http://bio.nagaokaut.ac.jp/~matsuno/title.html Matsuno , Yukio-Pegio http://www.kobe-u.ac.jp/nonlinear/gunji/index.html Gunji , Otto Roessler and George http://hps.elte.hu/~gk Kampis - internalism "begins with the fact that we are inside, as participants in, the universe that we are studying. Internalism applies to such advanced technological situations as cosmological knowledge in the face of the finite speed of light (we cannot get outside the universe, or see it whole) and operationalism, as well as to the situation of a newborn infant trying to manage in the world. Internalism is a viewpoint that accepts in advance limits to knowledge, and any viewpoint expressing limitations, like Herbert http://www.albany.edu/~dkw42/s6_chunked.html Simon�s bounded rationality, is internalist Matsuno has been trying to examine the most reduced internalist situations possible in a search for principles. Here we can place the internal predicament of a newborn infant, living in the present progressive tense, with little stored record to aid it. I focus on this situation because it brings to the fore the important notion, from Peirce, of http://www.peirce.org/writings/p119.html vagueness . All aspects of nature are to some degree vague, while our discourses – especially science and mathematics – try to be as explicit as possible. This mismatch is another reason to try to advance an internalist science. This has been begun in a small way using logics that forgive the law of the excluded middle, like fuzzy logic, dialectical and trialectical logics. But in these logics, while set membership is unclear, set definition is still crisp. This is not vague enough to model the actual world as it appears. I believe that we will have no understanding of evolutionary progress without an internalist science." http://www.nbi.dk/~natphil/salthe Salthe
