Samaneri Jayasāra - Longchenpa The Enlightened Mind ~ Dzogchen

My comment:

Ideas are like chaff, I suppose.  Aristotle wrote something like "And thinking in itself deals with that which is best in itself, and that which is thinking in the fullest sense with that which is best in the fullest sense. And thought thinks on itself because it shares the nature of the object of thought; for it becomes an object of thought in coming into contact with and thinking its objects, so that thought and object of thought are the same. For that which is capable of receiving the object of thought, i.e. the essence, is thought. But it is active when it possesses this object. Therefore the possession rather than the receptivity is the divine element which thought seems to contain, and the act of contemplation is what is most pleasant and best." Aristotle probably wrote a lot more than this guy Dzogchen did but that's the idea he started with, I think. Solid chaff! 🙂

Tensor Fields and Simplicial Complexes

Listening to Freya Holmér last night I started to get glimmers of an idea I had long ago about how to represent vector spaces in computational processes using this recursive abstract type :  abstype 'a point = POINT   of {getx :  'a vector,       diff :  'a point -> 'a point,       move :  'a point -> 'a point,       scale : 'a -> 'a point,       proj :  'a point -> 'a} with    fun new i (op +) (op -) (op * ) dot =    let fun self x =  POINT       {getx = x,        move = fn (POINT pr) =>           (self (x + (#getx pr))),        diff = fn (POINT pr) =>          self (x - (#getx pr)),        scale = fn i =>          (self (x * i)),        proj = fn (POINT pr) =>     ...

This is happening everywhere, all year around, just because of the nature of actual Human Knowledge. Invited speakers: a bunch of people who all know what they're talking about . On light and the nature of photographic process: Silver halide crystals only go off when exposed to light at certain frequencies, so the crystals have to be embedded in a glycerine matrix with layers of dye to make the film respond to visible light.
