Jean-Michel Jarre talking about Oxygene 7-13 in 1997:

The mathematics behind this is FM Synthesis: see Amy Sandoval Interview With John Chowning.

This reminds me of something I once read by Henri Atlan about "the articulation between levels" of a system. See Uncommon Finalities in William Irwin Thompson's book Gaia: A Way of Knowing (1987).

... in particular see this part:



The  emergence of new scientific disciplines is where we (only partly consciously) make choices about what aspects of the phenomenological experience we abstract into language, and what we choose to ignore, and call noise. For example, very early on in the science of acoustics, which was physically the transmission of something we called sound, phenomenologically; the experience of hearing sound was described physically as a pressure wave in the air reaching the ear. That gross abstraction ignored a whole dimension of spatial sound, which is a product of binaural hearing, not just a one-dimensional pressure wave that could be captured by a time-series of the kind that you could write onto a stock market ticker-tape.

Listen to Putnam talking about functionalism in Biology and Computer Science in 1977:

See also this 1973 lecture on functionalism by Hilary Putnam:

To get an idea of what people like Per Bak and Stuart Kauffman were saying about emergence by 1997, see Richard Clegg on Internet Congestion Collapse and the Famous Van Jacobsen and Mike Karels 1988 Paper on Congestion Avoidance and Control.

... 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 ...
