Cellular automata

This system behavior is described in objective terms down to its elementary functional units. Therefore, the system can be expressed as a collection of cellular automata.

You can not only describe the physical processing units as such but also there are functional automata that emerge from the activity and interactions of the former.

In general, any system behaviour can be reduced to the rules of individual cellular automata. This agrees in part with some of the advocacies of Stephen Wolfram.
But unfortunately this knowledge is useless because we can only derive those rules as the outcome of a relational computation. That is, by the time you get to be able to describe the automata you are already able to describe the system.
We can go from there to the most simple automata rules but not the inverse. We cannot directly translate system behaviours into cellular automata behaviours.

Identity

The identity is the only object in the domain of an inversion that is invariant to it.

In a continuous, universal inversion, the whole system is the identity.

Causal resonance

The blueprint of something (Plato’s “idea”) precedes that thing retroactively in time.

This is another formulation of the concept of causal resonance that determines the course of possible events.

Theosophical isomorphisms

I was surprised to watch this and come to suspect that an isomorphism can be established between my view of Nothing as a “reality generator” in its quality of a universal “inversor”, and Jakob Boehme’s nature of the Holy Spirit.

But unlike him, I am an advocate of the supremacy of pure and simple logic instead of faith through intrincate mazes in which you are more likely to get lost and believe whatever you want to believe, than otherwise to actually develop your understanding. It is good to believe in good things, but even better to believe and to understand them.

Extremes on the Violin

The lowest note a violin can produce is the open G string.

The highest note is naturally on the E string and can only be produced with harmonics.

Harmonics are played not by pressing the string with the finger, thus fixating its vibrating length, but instead by just touching gently the string at a point that is an integer divisor of the vibrating length of the string which with harmonics is the full 33 cm of the open string. They produce a flute-like tone.

Therefore, with harmonics one is limited to a quantized note range while when fixating the vibrating length the range is continuous.
