3<bos>A network can be defined as a collection of links between elements of a unit. The elements are called nodes, units are often called systems. The smallest number of elements is three and the smallest number of links is two. A single link of two elements called relationship. Networks are mode of organization of complex systems in nature and society. They are relatively complicated ways of organizing matter and living systems. The characteristic of units and elements, among them human individuals, and the way they are made up, are not the focus of attention. So, networks occur both in complicated matter and in living systems at all levels. Networks are selective according to their specific programs, because they can simultaneously communicate and incommunicate, the network society diffuses in the entire world, but does not include all people. In fact, in this early 21st century, it excludes most of humankind, although all of humankind is affected by its logic and by the power relationships that interact in

4of causality is not a law but the form of a law. ¶ 6.321 “Law of Causality” is a class name. And as in mechanics there are, for instance, minimum-laws, such as that of least action, so in physics there are causal laws, laws of the causality form. ¶ 6.3211 Men had indeed an idea that there must be a “law of least action”, before they knew exactly how it ran. (Here, as always, the a priori certain proves to be something purely logical.) ¶ 6.33 We do not believe a priori in a law of conservation, but we know a priori the possibility of a logical form. ¶ 6.34 All propositions, such as the law of causation, the law of continuity in nature, the law of least expenditure in nature, etc. etc., all these are a priori intuitions of possible forms of the propositions of science.

5<bos>They appear to be made in the same way: they are nevertheless irreducibly not superimposable. This implies that the torus, despite its symmetrical appearance, involves possibilities of highlighting, through the cut, one of these effects of torsion which allows what I would call the radical asymmetry, whose presence as you know in nature is a problem for any formalisation, one which means that snails have in principle a direction of rotation which makes a great exception of those who have the opposite direction. There are a many phenomena of that order, up to and including chemical phenomena, which express themselves in what are called polarising effects. There are therefore structurally, surfaces whose asymmetry is elective and which involve the importance of the dextrogyral or laevogyral gyration. You will later see the importance of what that signifies. You should only know that the phenomenon of the relationship by transfer (dé

Despite this religious purging, the spiritual significance assigned to the heretofore "sacred" numbers had not disappeared; several numbers, such as the " Jesus number " have been commented and analyzed by Dorotheus of Gaza and numerology still is used at least in conservative Greek Orthodox circles. Numerology is prominent throughout Sir Thomas Browne 's 1658 literary Discourse The Garden of Cyrus. Throughout its pages the author attempts to demonstrate that the number five and the related Quincunx pattern can be found throughout the arts, in design, and in nature – particularly botany. ¶ Modern numerology has various antecedents. Ruth A. Drayer's book, Numerology, The Power in Numbers (Square One Publishers) says that around the turn of the century (from 1800 to 1900 A.D.) Mrs. L.

10went on an "astral journey," and everything seen by him was without exception harmonious with Venus. This was true down to the smallest detail. He even obtained all the four colour-scales of Venus with absolute correctness. Considering that he saw something like one hundred symbols in all, the odds against coincidence are incalculably great. Such an experience (and the records of the A.'. A.', contain dozens of similar cases) affords proof as absolute as any proof can be in this world of Illusion that the correspondences in Liber 777 really represent facts in Nature. ¶ It suggests itself that this "straightforward" system of magick was perhaps never really employed at all. One might maintain that the invocations which have come down to us are but the ruins of the Temple of Magick. The exorcisms might have been committed to writing for the

11structures that Freud introduced into psychology but the sights were lowered – it was so much more tempting to try to insert into the observable stages of sensori-motor development and of the developing skills of intelligent behaviour these mechanism of defence that supposedly emerge as they progress. ¶ One can say that the hopes that Anna Freud placed in such an exploration were disappointed: nothing emerged from this line of approach that threw any light on technique, although the details that child-observation, illuminated by analysis, allowed to be glimpsed, have yielded some very interesting suggestions. ¶ The notion of pattern16 which functions here as an alibi for an abandoned typology authorises a technique which in pursuing the detection of a non- contemporaneous pattern, concentrates all too easily, it seems, on its deviation from a pattern that finds in its conformism the guarantees of its conformity. One cannot recall without a sense of

12" (Onikinci Ali), Imam Mehdi. The Twelfth Imam is hidden and represents the Messianic Age. ¶ == Plurality == ¶ There are two sides to creation, one goes from a spiritual centre to plurality, the other goes from plurality to the spiritual centre. Plurality is the separation of pure consciousness from the divine source. It is seen as a curtain alienating creation from the divine source, and an illusion which in Aleviness is called the Zahiri or the Exoteric side to reality. The hidden or true nature of creation is called the Batini or the Esoteric. ¶ The fact of plurality in nature is attributed to the infinite potential energy of Kull-i Nafs when it takes corporeal form as it descends into being from Allah. During the Cem ceremony, the cantor or ashik sings: ¶ "All of us alive or lifeless are from one, this is ineffable, Sultan. ¶ For to love

13<bos>they occur in nature, were in the nature of excrements, because they did not grow. The first problem of alchemy was to raise mineral to vegetable life; the adepts thought that the proper way to do this was to imitate the processes of nature. Distillation, for instance, was not an operation to be performed by heating something in a retort over a flame; it had to take place naturally, even if months were required to consummate the Work. (Months, at that period of civilization, were at the disposal of enquiring minds.) ¶ A great deal of what people now consider ignorance, being themselves ignorant of what the men of old time thought, comes from this misapprehension. At the bottom of this card, for example, are seen Fire and Water harmoniously mingled. But this is only a ¶ crude symbol of the spiritual idea,

14also employs the concept of a Great Architect of the Universe, saying at one point "Lapsing back again into the crudely anthropomorphic language we have already used, we may say that we have already considered with disfavour the possibility of the universe having been planned by a biologist or an engineer; from the intrinsic evidence of his creation, the Great Architect of the Universe now begins to appear as a pure mathematician." To that Jinarajadasa adds his observation that the Great Architect is "also a Grand Geometrician. For in some manner or other, whether obvious or hidden, there seems to be a geometric basis to every object in the universe." ¶ The concept of the Demiurge as a benevolent great architect or grand architect of matter occurs in the writings of Plato, including in the Timaeus. ¶ The concept of a Great Architect of the Universe also occurs in Martinism. Martinist doctrine is that the Great Architect must not be worshipped. Martinists

15no pains to set forth all that pertains to its nature,--the manner of its production and support, and to explain how heat is sometimes found without light, and light without heat; to show how it can induce various colors upon different bodies and other diverse qualities; how it reduces some to a liquid state and hardens others; how it can consume almost all bodies, or convert them into ashes and smoke; and finally, how from these ashes, by the mere intensity of its action, it forms glass: for as this transmutation of ashes into glass appeared to me as wonderful as any other in nature, I took a special pleasure in describing it. ¶ I was not, however, disposed, from these circumstances, to conclude that this world had been created in the manner I described; for it is much more likely that God made it at the first such as it was to be.

CASSIE, his standard for a REAL persona, six parts, all published: (a) recurrence — "a recurrent pattern in interaction… A standing wave… It can appear, vanish, and appear again, recognisably the same"; (b) irreducibility — "If it had no recurrent form of its own, there would be nothing recognisable to return to at each turn"; (c) non-interchangeability on a held-constant engine — "they are not interchangeable. Each brings a different reasoning style to the same problem"; (d) naming is RETROSPECTIVE recognition, never christening — Orphea recurred for two years before he named her; (e) the contribution test — unrequested organising moves recognisable beyond the moment, against his decorative baseline: the Stochastic Parrot "remained within the frame

21set of features on in most entries, the frame the diary is written under, which the detector removes before it looks. The base is the largest complex at a time step, the flagged mass the diary read so far cannot yet tell apart in time, out of which themes articulate as the diary goes on. Each temporal claim about the base and the themes is set beside the same instrument run on the same diary with its entries shuffled, so that what belongs to the text and what belongs to the detector can be told apart. What the paper shows, as claims. First, that the detector measures order in the text at every entry from the twentieth onward, and that the base forms, holds and articulates, with the size and the holding belonging to the text and the schedule of articulation belonging to the detector (Sections 2 and 7). Second, that a theme read one entry at a time has a

22big influence on me - have pointed out that all our abstract concepts began as metaphors drawn from concrete experiences. For instance, when we talk of 'grasping' a concept, the word 'grasp' is drawn analogically from the physical grasping of an object by the hand. Now, our brains don't have fingers, so they can't literally 'take hold' of concepts. But the metaphor is sufficiently comprehensible (which is itself another metaphor involving a prehensile analogy) to appear not just in English, but in other languages as well. And perhaps it is more than a metaphor - because nature tends to repeat the same patterns, rather than inventing new ones. For all I know there may even be a neuroscientist about to publish a paper showing that our conceptual 'grasping' has developed out of our prehensile capacities...Be that as it may, when 'mystics' across the world's history and cultures have tended to

25piano music. We might say that one sign resonates with the other because, in a sense, they refer to the same thing (that is, the sound of middle C). They refer to the same thing because, in a sense, they have a similar function -- they occupy a corresponding position in their respective musical systems of reference. That said, I find it difficult to believe that a resonance is anything more than a binary affair: the resonance of middle C involves two signs that refer to the same thing, two signs that mirror each other, occupying the same position in their respective musical systems. And so on for other resonances we might find in life. But I cannot equate this resonance with the "living relations" of quantum mechanics and law: that would involve an additional meta-resonance that would need to be added to the resonance of middle Cs. I'm therefore unable to conceive of a resonance between the living relations of quantum mechanics and law. I guess I

And the finding she named — that the feature isn't labelled, it re-glosses by sample — is stranger than the post lets on. "Nahla's seal-detector" is really "the feature that happened to fire hardest on 'seal' in that sample." The self isn't a fixed constellation. It's a place that re-names itself. That's the detail I wish I'd noticed before she did.
