Download or read book Emergence Illustrated written by Pravir Malik and published by Possibilities Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The point of this book is to illustrate a ubiquitous four-fold functionality that exists in the structuring of this universe. What has emerged through the process of time, starting with the big bang to modern Civilization, is not random but is ordered around this four-fold functionality of Presence, Knowledge, Harmony, and Service. These core functional principles are observed in the nature of reality as set up by light itself. These principles subsequently animate several layers of emergence starting from the ‘field’ level through the ‘quantum particle’ level, the level of ‘atoms,’ ‘cells’, and even ‘civilizations.’ This book will present a mathematics that elaborates the relationship, the four-fold functional relationship to be precise, which exists between one layer of emergence and the next. As such, the expression of the universe will be seen as unanimous with the expression of an evolving four-fold functional richness with more and more aspects and subtleties of the underlying four properties coming to the surface and shaping things. Many illustrations, 52 to be precise, appear throughout the body of this book. These have primarily been inspired by Indian mythological arts and introduce personalities, including Shakti, Sri Krishna, Surya, Shiva, Hanuman, Bhumi, Sita, Agni, Draupadi, Vayu, Jala, Mohini, Akash, and Ganga, amongst others. These personalities are well-known in Indian mythology and some of what they stand for fits seamlessly into the concepts of ‘emergence’ suggested by this book. For those who are already familiar with Indian mythology, this will add additional insight into the concepts of the book. For those who are being introduced to Indian mythology for the first time, some intuitive glance of the mythology may form due to the association of the illustration with the concept it has been coupled with.
Download or read book Emergence in Interactive Art written by Jennifer Seevinck and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with emergence, interaction, art and computing. It introduces a new focus for emergence in interactive art: the emergent experience. Emergence literature is discussed and an organising framework, the Taxonomy of Emergence in Interactive Art (TEIA) is provided together with case studies of digital, interactive art systems that facilitate emergence. Evidence from evaluations of people interacting with the works is analysed using the TEIA. Artworks from across the world are also reviewed to further illustrate the potential for emergence. Interactive art is, itself, still a young domain where audience influence, or interaction with the work is a defining aspect. Emergence in Interactive Art explores the rich opportunities for interactive experiences of digital art systems that are provided by looking through a ‘lens’ of emergence. And what better way to explore these potentials than through the open-ended domain of emergence, with its inherent affinity to the natural world? Through an integrated approach of practice, research and theory this book reveals design and analytical insights relating to emergence, interaction and interactive art to benefit artists, researchers and designers alike.
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Emergence written by Sophie Gibb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emergence is often described as the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts: interactions among the components of a system lead to distinctive novel properties. It has been invoked to describe the flocking of birds, the phases of matter and human consciousness, along with many other phenomena. Since the nineteenth century, the notion of emergence has been widely applied in philosophy, particularly in contemporary philosophy of mind, philosophy of science and metaphysics. It has more recently become central to scientists’ understanding of phenomena across physics, chemistry, complexity and systems theory, biology and the social sciences. The Routledge Handbook of Emergence is an outstanding reference source and exploration of the concept of emergence, and is the first collection of its kind. Thirty-two chapters by an international team of contributors are organised into four parts: Foundations of emergence Emergence and mind Emergence and physics Emergence and the special sciences Within these sections important topics and problems in emergence are explained, including the British Emergentists; weak vs. strong emergence; emergence and downward causation; dependence, complexity and mechanisms; mental causation, consciousness and dualism; quantum mechanics, soft matter and chemistry; and evolution, cognitive science and social sciences. Essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy of mind, philosophy of science and metaphysics, The Routledge Handbook of Emergence will also be of interest to those studying foundational issues in biology, chemistry, physics and psychology.
Download or read book The European Illustrated Press and the Emergence of a Transnational Visual Culture of the News 1842 1870 written by Thomas Smits and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the roots of a global visual news culture: the trade in illustrations of the news between European illustrated newspapers in the mid-nineteenth century. In the age of nationalism, we might suspect these publications to be filled with nationally produced content, supporting a national imagined community. However, the large-scale transnational trade in illustrations, which this book uncovers, points out that nineteenth-century news consumers already looked at the same world. By exchanging images, European illustrated newspapers provided them with a shared, transnational, experience.

Download or read book The Emperor s Quantum Computer Illustrated written by Pravir Malik and published by Possibilities Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-24 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book attempts to reveal something of the vastly different and fundamentally creative quality of computing that must accompany any computation involving the quantum-levels. To linearly project digital computing laurels manifest as increasing speeds and the ability to process vaster amounts of information, as the inevitable trajectory of quantum computing is perhaps, in the aphorism attributed to the Buddha, to look only at the finger and to miss the moon and the sky that it is pointing to. The cover figure highlights all that is being missed, summarized as an egg-like structure synonymous with the term ‘Hiranyagarbha’ in Sanskrit. This depicts the womb of creation, within which many layers and an upward-moving pattern of curves that themselves reflect the luminescence due to the constant superposition and entanglement inherent to the quantum computation that derives from a light-centered interpretation of quantum dynamics.
Download or read book The Origins and Possibilities of Genetics Illustrated written by Pravir Malik and published by Possibilities Publishing. This book was released on 2024-09-28 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the origin of genetics through the lens of light, proposing that light’s infinite codified information precipitates into subtle-DNA structures, forming the foundation of genetic structure, heredity, and evolution. By examining the process through which light materializes across different layers of reality, it establishes a new framework for understanding genetics as a cosmic mechanism driven by quantum computation. The book also highlights the deep connection between ancient symbols, like the Shankha (conch shell), and modern scientific exploration, using nearly 150 illustrations to bridge ancient wisdom and cutting-edge quantum science. This work reinforces a novel category of quantum computation, positioning genetics as a creative process that unfolds through light’s progressive materialization, with implications for both technology and our understanding of reality.
Download or read book Cosmology of Light Illustrated written by Pravir Malik and published by Possibilities Publishinng. This book was released on 2023-12-03 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about Light. It is a story of Light from an apparent beginning to the present, and then also a story of that condition that transcends Time and is hence beginningless. The exploration has been based on imagining light existing at multiple constant speeds and extrapolating the impact of such conceptual spaces on the physical universe. Being so, it is a cosmology – it suggests a nature of the universe – in which all that is, is of Light. Hence, this book describes a Cosmology of Light. A key aspect of the cosmology is the notion of “quanta”, seen as a bridge mechanism that connects possibilities resident in other conceptual spaces to material existence. The medium chosen to express this nature is mathematics. Specifically, as will be discovered, a particular symmetrical “function-based” mathematics is formulated to express the nature of the cosmos. Further, this illustrated version seeks to create a more visceral feel for the mathematics by depicting it with a range of art – abstract, literal, pencil-drawn, computer-generated, and mythological. There are over 150 illustrations in this book providing deeper insight into key aspects of the cosmology. The cosmology describes how that which is unmanifest, manifests, leveraging a light-based, quaternary view of quantum dynamics to do so. In this view, the Self is a mathematical key, a mysterious variable, that delving into the whole that it is, can mathematically change the equilibrium of this dynamic creation. This is represented symbolically by the “quantization-chakra” in the cover illustration, which brings possibilities resident in all the layers of light into practical material existence, ushering in, as it were, a new type of endless creation where richness builds on richness and new types of super-matter on previous super-matter.

Download or read book The Space that Separates A Realist Theory of Art written by Nick Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Space that Separates: A Realist Theory of Art radically challenges our assumptions about what art is, what art does, who is doing it, and why it matters. Rejecting the modernist and market-driven misconception that art is only what artists do, Wilson instead presents a realist case for living artfully. Art is defined as the skilled practice of giving shareable form to our experiences of being-in-relation with the real; that is to say, the causally generative domain of the world that extends beyond our direct observation, comprising relations, structures, mechanisms, possibilities, powers, processes, systems, forces, values, ways of being. In communicating such aesthetic experience we behold life’s betweenness – "the space that separates", so coming to know ourselves as connected. Providing the first dedicated and comprehensive account of art and aesthetics from a critical realist perspective – Aesthetic Critical Realism (ACR), Wilson argues for a profound paradigm shift in how we understand and care for culture in terms of our system(s) of value recognition. Fortunately, we have just the right tool to help us achieve this transformation – and it’s called art. Offering novel explanatory accounts of art, aesthetic experience, value, play, culture, creativity, artistic truth and beauty, this book will appeal to a wide audience of students and scholars of art, aesthetics, human development, philosophy and critical realism, as well as cultural practitioners and policy-makers.
Download or read book Postdevelopmental Approaches to Childhood Art written by Jayne Osgood and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In childhood research, children's art-making has typically been viewed and understood through a lens of developmental psychology and the notion that children's art-making progresses through a linear series of stages continues to dominate how we design and implement art-making experiences for young children. Postdevelopmental Approaches to Childhood Art brings together the work of theorists from around the world who have presented postdevelopmental approaches to childhood art, thereby playing a vital part in unsettling the dominance of the developmental paradigm and offering worked examples of alternative models. Drawing on sociocultural theory, Deleuzian philosophy, posthumanism and postmodernism each chapter offers a theoretical basis that challenges developmentalism, as well as an application of that theoretical basis. The contributors also consider what this shift in our perspective means for the design and implementation of art-making experiences for young children.
Download or read book Digital Zombies Undead Stories written by Lawrence May and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through analysis of three case study videogames – Left 4 Dead 2, DayZ and Minecraft – and their online player communities, Digital Zombies, Undead Stories develops a framework for understanding how collective gameplay generates experiences of narrative, as well as the narrative dimensions of players' creative activity on social media platforms. Narrative emergence is addressed as a powerful form of player experience in multiplayer games, one which makes individual games' boundaries and meanings fluid and negotiable by players. The phenomenon is also shown to be recursive in nature, shaping individual and collective understandings of videogame texts over time. Digital Zombies, Undead Stories focuses on games featuring zombies as central antagonists. The recurrent figure of the videogame zombie, which mediates between chaos and rule-driven predictability, serves as both metaphor and mascot for narrative emergence. This book argues that in the zombie genre, emergent experiences are at the heart of narrative experiences for players, and more broadly demonstrates the potential for the phenomenon to be understood as a fundamental part of everyday play experiences across genres.
Download or read book Quantum Certainty Illustrated written by Pravir Malik and published by Possibilities Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book proposes a process to create sustainable history that involves entering into an activation-state. Such an activation-state opens a quantum-window into layers of reality formed by light moving at different speeds. Collective meta-functions, whether of plants, animals, or humans exist in these layers and it is the enhancing or creation of such a meta-function that sets into motion a precise process of space, time, energy, and gravity quantization, by which the nature of reality can be changed. As such there is no uncertainty at these decisive moments of history, but a quantum-certainty that is worked out by the mathematical possibilities present at the time, and as elaborated by the mathematical model presented in the book. This book is the sixth in the Artistic Interpretation of a Cosmology of Light book series, and the sixteenth book to do with a cosmology of light and is accompanied by insightful pencil drawings and other art totaling 96 illustrations in all. The cover illustration depicts the inevitable precipitation and growth of diverse forces set into motion once deep yearning activates quantum certainty. The Rudra aspect is there to clear the ground so that space-time-energy-gravity quantization activated by quantum certainty, becomes fruitful. The Shiva aspect is there to continue to maintain some order until the next level of equilibrium is established.

Download or read book Super Matter Illustrated written by Pravir Malik and published by Possibilities Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-27 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a play of Light its codified properties project out to create layer upon layer of fourfold complexity. Space, Time, Gravity, and Energy are perhaps the first layer of Light’s codified properties and emerge as fundamental to cosmic dynamics to-date. Fields such as the electromagnetic field form a second layer. Then quantum particles, atoms, cells, and all the complexity of Natural and Human history form subsequent layers, all the while continuing to materialize the inherent fourfold-richness inherent in Light. The fate of such a continued fourfold development leading to a foundation of super-matter now lies in our hands. The scales of a quantum-cosmic balance depend on the extent to which a continued and cohesive space-time-energy-gravity quantization, fueled by will and other human faculties becomes operative. Such quantization spurred by the need for functional-richness results in super-matter.
