STEPHEN WOLFRAM
A New Kind Of Science

“How are the intricate patterns of snowflakes produced?” ~Stephen Wolfram

Math usually concerns itself with arbitrary abstract systems, but what if it’s actually based on simple patterns?

Physics is usually math approached to science. It’s almost assumed any serious physical theory must be math based. With many remarkable physical phenomena still unsolved, maybe they’re based on simple patterns?

Biology, Social Sciences, Computer Science, Philosophy, Art, Technology, AI, Evolution Theory, and maybe even the After Life is be based on simple patterns.

Wolfram use his approach of simple patterns instead of traditional mathematical rules. The results of simple patterns… of simple programs are fascinating.

It’s a whooping 1197 pages, but fortunately ran into a chance presentation of him presenting this “new” book in 2002. Maybe we are just thinking things too complex?

☕️ 📖 and 🥞

“The Law of Nations”

A primary source for the U.S. Constitution. Nations are equal and independent, regardless of their size—a concept of "legal flatness" that ensures every state has the same standing under international law.

Like a Van Halen song or Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Op. 95, this “book” is from a bunch of deep thought provoking essays pieced together. Hmmm…

Emer de Vattel’s Le droit des gens.

An Arthur thought…

The Flatness Metric: Scientifically grounded study, geographers determined that Kansas is flatter than a pancake. Using polynomial equations to compare the state's topography to an IHOP pancake, researchers found that Kansas has less relief than the surface of the breakfast food.

Florida, Illinois, and North Dakota are technically even flatter.

Note: Kansas originally recorded "Dust in the Wind" in the key of C Major. Sounds like A Minor, due to the emphasis on A minor chords in the verses… it’s kind of the same anyways?

Aren’t we?

Is anyone in The Guinness Book of World Records by holding the record for most times failing to set a record?

3 days ago: rainy morning with ☕️ calmly reading THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Ratified 1789

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

7 Articles (I thought there were 12!)

The first 10 Amendments (the Bill of Rights) ratified December 15, 1791 are for tomorrow morning. 🙂

Four days ago, started the day grounded in calm and ☕️, soaking in multiple readings of THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

Action of Second Continental Congress, July 4, 1776

The Unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

It’s a 10 minute read when done very slowly. A lot to soak on so multiple reads for me.

Tomorrow the Constitution ratified September 17, 1787.

AMENDMENTS starting from December 15, 1791 will be this weekend…with ☕️

Five days ago began the day with calm and ☕️, immersed in the vibrant history of Minneapolis' music scene through HEYDAY: 35 Years of Music in Minneapolis, a thoughtful wedding gift with captivating photography by Daniel Corrigan. Danny Sigelman authored the fascinating text.

@MezcalElectrico Wow! Bees in the trees!

Well, the festival is over for another year as the 90th #Guelaguetza fiesta nurses thousands of sore heads #Oaxaca city. Guelaguetza means 'active cooperation'. Read the full feature | https://t.co/RvtrgnPiH3

The people of #Oaxaca know how to eat and the Eléctrico #Mezcalero family is no exception. Eugenia's #molenegro is a secret that can only be prepared at home. There are seven #moles (sauces) that define #OaxacanCuisine. Read about them here | https://t.co/1i9emdJ3w1

[ELECTRICO Mezcal @MezcalElectrico]

If you’re getting around in #SanBaltazar Guelavila, why not take a #CaliChiu? Around the world you’ll find them called various other names, but here in #Oaxaca, they have a #Zapotec name: Cali Chiu, meaning ‘Where are you going?’… to the Eléctrico #Mezcal #Palenque, of course!

[Arthur Edstrom @aedstrom]

Delicious Eléctrico Mezcal!

[ELECTRICO Mezcal @MezcalElectrico]

Before #mezcal had ignited a spark in her imagination, Eléctrico Mezcal founder @KatBlackwell had fallen for #Oaxaca. And it was alot to do with Oaxaca City’s greatest auditoriums as a recording venue: @TeatroMAlcala. Find out why | https://t.co/UHl30Y5ZQJ

#Oaxaca is now assigned UPC codes to products created there. #startups #Trending #Mexican

If it wasn’t grown, fermented, distilled and bottled in the Mexican states of #Oaxaca, #Guerrero, #Guanajuato, #Michoacán, #Zacatecas, #SanLuísPotosí, #Tamaulipas, #Durango and #Puebla, it ain’t #Mezcal. https://t.co/F4DC6SPS2V

The smoke in a great #EléctricoMezcal is like the peat in a great single malt Scotch. Like any great spirit, it’s for sipping not slamming. https://t.co/Ez3cz9ec9b
