History of Math and the History of Art

Relation between math and art?

Correlation between the development of math and art as disciplines? Chaos theory and postmodernity…. (phased transitions, paradigmatic shifts in culture effecting multi-displines)

Chaos theory and time and quantum…..?? accumulation, progressive time…

Organic nature of the web? Organic nature of math? As discussed in webometry?

Galileo….we live to study the word of god, but god is nature, and that is the language (line segments, triangles, and circles)

If you are born now, are you born thinking in terms of postmodern lens…chaos fractals etc…or do you see in lines and triangles

What is harmony?

Christian meria? Toulouse (chaos theorist)

Algebra is involved with Islamic calligraphy (there is a correlation b/n meditation and algebra.,…each letter represents a mental pposture).

New calligraphy…..???

Language of the Goddess

sacred geometry…..

in the dimension of time….there is the now, the paranormal.. precognition, clairivoyence

chaos theory —complex dynamical systems…agent –based modeling, self organization is something that happens. If you have all the nodes (people) they are interconnected by communication (ie the telephone). Email is asynchronous…. It’s asynchronous communication has meant the enormous increase of communication among all of us. The intelligence is in the interconnections, not necessarily in the nodes (people).

The Phenomenology of Man (the omega point) 1920’s—the biosphere

Past – present (imagine a thickness of this time, in terms of fractals in fact)– future

How does chaos theory relate to string theory….?

Graph theory…a complex dynamical system modeled for consciousness. Something Ralph is working on currently.

We think we are living on a third dimension.

The fractal geometry of …. Benoit Mandelbrot
