Jade on Time and Information

These two videos are interesting:

Why Time Flows Both Ways

Berry's Paradox

Compare this with the sort of science that dudes do when they think they have access to concrete facts: Gigi Young - More Mars Madness.

See also Calculating By Hand and Using Machines.

Also have a look at this lecture by Dana S. Scott on the lambda calculus which is a very simple way to describe complex strings and which has been recycled many, many times. Every decade since Alonzo Church first described it.

See Dana Scott on the History of Lambda Calculus and Scott's Stochastic λ-calculi: An extended abstract.

I think Scott's model for the untyped lambda calculus could provide some kind of intellectual connecting fabric to shed some light on the nature of inconsistency in systems of proof (10:25): see Journal of Applied Logic Special issue on Combining Probability and Logic to Solve Philosophical Problems, https://prooftoys.org/ian-grant/hm/ and On Tarski's Semantic Definition of Truth "Convention T" (especially footnote 4 on page 2 referring to logical constants).

To see why I fell so in love with Jade, see The Ebony Tower: Toyah Wilcox and Robert Fripp's Sunday Lunch.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
