Merging the worlds of heart and science, finding the secrets in between.
Prepare yourself for the revolution.
Again, lots of thoughts.
About electrons.
About states of being.
Forbidden states, and resonance.
Us. us us us us.
We’re all just like vibrating bits of matter. bouncing around at different energy levels.
Finding our resonance.
falling to short of excitation.
Lucky enough, once and awhile to amplify.
With the aid of a neighbor or outside influence.
Sometimes, we sync, and spontaneously….
we emit
together.
It happens.
Back to writing. Back to reflection. Back to what I know I really should be doing all the time.
Still in limbo land, sustaining on future dreams and postponed accomplishments. Plenty of hugs and hearty late breakfasts to go along. Who could need more really? This time will never be again, but it’s hard to remember to savor every slow and quiet moment when there is no shortage of them. We all need contrast, and I’m not quite sure of the significance of that yet, but something scientifically and metaphysically profound I’m sure.
At least those crazy thoughts are starting to bubble up again. Noise and information, energy and directions. Entropy and human conciousness. Keep on keeping on.
I keep telling a friend who is having trouble dating that every experience is an experiment where you need to try out different techniques to get results. I need to give myself the same advice. Stop hating myself for doing it the wrong way.
There is still much to come.

Tesla. The Problem of Increasing Human Energy
ife’s lost something more than gloss. but that’s the only real word i can put on it.
Maybe i just need a better fotographer. capture the essence i think I’ve lost
i miss being dead beat with my dead beat friends. that had some beauty to it that can only be explained in riot folk songs.
I thought when i quit my job I’d be beautiful again. I’d magically make dead beat friends again. Life would be miserably awesome again. Wallowing and comiserating in the fuitility of life again.
Instead there’s more emptiness around. The same I tried to run from. I keep saying, life is elsewhere. Thinking it was 5 years ago or in that old apartment I used to live in where I stay up all night writing songs about how life seemed to be elsewhere.
I’m not sure it’s anywhere anymore. It’s lost in my heart. Lost in the photographs capturing a life that’s becoming unbearably clean.
The fragility of being human. The swings of overbearing emotions of sunshine and inexplicable despair. The contemplation of a dual existence of both. Filling and emptying the body relentlessly. Many seek to live, balancing unwaveringly between. To afraid to wander too far from middle ground because the climb and fall both could cost so much. we all try at some point to hold steady, but true nature will not allow it. We are beings, vessels with no other greater attribute than to embrace and hold the color of the world and hence to have it drained and soaked by the canvas that surrounds us. The use, the need, the purpose for living
being
feeling
experiencing…it’s deep and has a power we know only through the heaviness it leaves us with
that it moves us with
to places that defy the words we speak, defy the truths we tell ourselves. The secret of our spectrum lies within. muted by the walls we use to hold ourselves in middle ground.
a brilliance so bright and a darkness so deep it agonizes to look. Contrast, yes, but beyond. blending, mixing of all. so full of soft and hard edges, tantalizing to touch and explore. More, the brave ask for. More to see and to fill and be devoid of. Let the universe explode and collide, destroy through creation, and defy it’s existence becoming so full of everything that could ever exist, until suddenly it is one. dense and packed with no push or draw, and then,again,
it is nothing.
and we return again to the experience of the next
from closing remarks:
It is apparent that stochastic resonance has established itself as a legitimate process in which systems are able to amplify a subthreshold signal with the addition of noise. In all of these models, both dynamical and non-dynamical, the noise is visualized as being entrained on the incoming signal, riding atop it and aiding in the transferring of information to the detection mechanism. However, another point of view may be to see the noise as altering the threshold itself. This concept was approached in the channel noise study, but not fully recognized. Examining this phenomenon with this perspective may lead to new insights on how systems develop these sorts of capabilities.
This further leads to questions about how systems directly adapt to use this process, or if it is just a byproduct of evolution. One might ask, however, if nature strived to detect subthreshold signals, than why not make the threshold lower? We can’t forget that noise isn’t something new; nature has evolved in the presence of noise and thus sought to benefit from the start. By utilizing the energy that is already present within the background, the system does not need to build a more robust and perhaps less efficient detection system. Nature will always follow the path of least resistance. Counter-intuitively noise, usually thought of as a hinderance or resistance, may actually provide the more energetically favorable route.
As science begins to uncover the strange phenomenon of stochastic resonance, abound in so many biological processes, the connotation and stigma of noise may begin to shift. Besides from re-evaluating the place of noise in our current paradigms, it also becomes relevant to observe the interactions between the structured nature of biology and the questionably un-deterministic nature of a constantly fluctuating universe.
A new hypothesis has emerged known as the Living Matter Way (LMW) which theorizes that the complexity of information is key to biological communication, and that noise is the vehicle through which this complex information is transferred (8). This theory revolves around the production and transmission of 1/f noise, a spectrum of noise discovered by Schottky in electrical devices. This form of noise is inherent in all sorts of process from biological to economic. What arises through this analysis is the idea of high densities of information being encoded in a low energy system. It is interesting to suddenly hear a mention of energy in this sort of context. In all of the preceding experiments the quest was always to determine the relationships of input and output information, but there was no mention as to the energy that may also be transferred in this process. Investigations into this aspect of the process will inevitable conjure up discussion on the entropy rates associated with stochastic resonance amplification and rectification.
Stochastic resonance not only sheds light on the complex functioning of the nervous system, but also begins to pave the way for greater understanding of the fundamentals of information transfer and the values of noise in our natural paradigm. Technological developments have historically fought against the probabilistic fatalism of noise, but with inspiration from these newly discovered phenomena, we may in time learn to embrace an inexorably stochastic universe and thrive within the chaos.
This is perfection.
Thirteen Observations made by Lemony Snicket while watching Occupy Wall Street from a Discreet Distance
1. If you work hard, and become successful, it does not necessarily mean you are successful because you worked hard, just as if you are tall with long hair it doesn’t mean you would be a midget if you were bald.
2. “Fortune” is a word for having a lot of money and for having a lot of luck, but that does not mean the word has two definitions.
3. Money is like a child—rarely unaccompanied. When it disappears, look to those who were supposed to be keeping an eye on it while you were at the grocery store. You might also look for someone who has a lot of extra children sitting around, with long, suspicious explanations for how they got there.
4. People who say money doesn’t matter are like people who say cake doesn’t matter—it’s probably because they’ve already had a few slices.
5. There may not be a reason to share your cake. It is, after all, yours. You probably baked it yourself, in an oven of your own construction with ingredients you harvested yourself. It may be possible to keep your entire cake while explaining to any nearby hungry people just how reasonable you are.
6. Nobody wants to fall into a safety net, because it means the structure in which they’ve been living is in a state of collapse and they have no choice but to tumble downwards. However, it beats the alternative.
7. Someone feeling wronged is like someone feeling thirsty. Don’t tell them they aren’t. Sit with them and have a drink.
8. Don’t ask yourself if something is fair. Ask someone else—a stranger in the street, for example.
9. People gathering in the streets feeling wronged tend to be loud, as it is difficult to make oneself heard on the other side of an impressive edifice.
10. It is not always the job of people shouting outside impressive buildings to solve problems. It is often the job of the people inside, who have paper, pens, desks, and an impressive view.
11. Historically, a story about people inside impressive buildings ignoring or even taunting people standing outside shouting at them turns out to be a story with an unhappy ending.
12. If you have a large crowd shouting outside your building, there might not be room for a safety net if you’re the one tumbling down when it collapses.
13. 99 percent is a very large percentage. For instance, easily 99 percent of people want a roof over their heads, food on their tables, and the occasional slice of cake for dessert. Surely an arrangement can be made with that niggling 1 percent who disagree.
