Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an infinitely innovative world. It is part of the very fabric of our existence. Being that this ability to innovate can express itself in massively different ways there are surely therefore a massive number of different approaches to express and frame innovation. Here is one approach to frame such innovation. It has both an artistic and scientific dimension to it. Artistic through necessity - in that when one tries to enter into the reality of what innovation is, there is no expression that can fully represent it, and hence art seems at least to capture the current surge of such a contemplation. But the medium of the art here is mathematical since for me that alone seemed to capture the richness implicit in this de facto aspect of reality. The mathematics expressed here is therefore the art. And this will be abundantly apparent in the attempt, for instance, to capture the reality of a point-instant replete with all possibility. Necessarily the mathematical notation and the resulting mathematics had to expand beyond current norms in mathematics. This may raise eyebrows amongst some mathematicians. But as with my invitation in other recent writings I would welcome such individuals into collaboration to help capture perhaps in more robust ways what the artistic-mathematics here is seeking to express. I also mention that the Illustrator has written a piece relating the art in the book to Indian Art, that appears in the Appendix, primarily to do with the churning of the Ocean, an important event in Indian mythology. The mathematics expressed here is also a science. This is so because it proposes a structure and process to innovation that can be corroborated through observation and experiment. In its scientific aspect this book starts with a derivation of some subjective qualities of light that are proposed to set up objective reality. There is a four-foldness that is seen in this analysis that becomes the basis of the entire mathematics through the rest of the book. Hence the development of the mathematics primarily proceeds through induction, subsequently employing deduction to derive a representative set of mathematical operators that must be true of any complex system. This book is therefore an artistic-mathematical contemplation of the aspect of innovation-reality that exists in every point-instant of any complex system. To make the most of it my suggestion is to suspend any judgment and enter the unfolding contemplation to the degree possible. In this way you may see as I have seen, and this may enrich in some way your own point of view.

Download or read book Lean Impact written by Ann Mei Chang and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-10-30 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite enormous investments of time and money, are we making a dent on the social and environmental challenges of our time? What if we could exponentially increase our impact? Around the world, a new generation is looking beyond greater profits, for meaningful purpose. But, unlike business, few social interventions have achieved significant impact at scale. Inspired by the modern innovation practices, popularized by bestseller The Lean Startup, that have fueled technology breakthroughs touching every aspect of our lives, Lean Impact turns our attention to a new goal - radically greater social good. Social change is far more complicated than building a new app. It requires more listening, more care, and more stakeholders. To make a lasting difference, solutions must be embraced by beneficiaries, address root causes, and include an engine that can accelerate growth to reach the scale of the need. Lean Impact offers bold ideas to reach audacious goals through customer insight, rapid experimentation and iteration, and a relentless pursuit of impact. Ann Mei Chang brings a unique perspective from across sectors, from her years as a tech executive in Silicon Valley to her most recent experience as the Chief Innovation Officer at USAID. She vividly illustrates the book with real stories from interviews with over 200 organizations across the US and around the world. Whether you are a nonprofit, social enterprise, triple bottom line company, foundation, government agency, philanthropist, impact investor, or simply donate your time and money, Lean Impact is an essential guide to maximizing social impact and scale.

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 Prospecting Ocean written by Stefanie Hessler and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-12-17 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the entanglement of industry, politics, culture, and economics at the frontier of ocean excavations through an innovative union of art and science. The oceans are crucial to the planet's well-being. They help regulate the global carbon cycle, support the resilience of ecosystems, and provide livelihoods for communities. The oceans as guardians of planetary health are threatened by many forces, including growing extractivist practices. Through the innovative lens of artistic research, Prospecting Ocean investigates the entanglement of industry, politics, culture, and economics at the frontier of ocean excavation. The result is a richly illustrated study that unites science and art to examine the ecological, cultural, philosophical, and aesthetic reverberations of this current threat to the oceans. Prospecting Oceans takes as its starting point an exhibition by the photographer and filmmaker Armin Linke, which was commissioned by TBA21–Academy, London, and first shown at the Institute of Marine Science (CNR-ISMAR) in Venice. Linke is concerned with making the invisible visible, and here he unmasks the technologies that enable extractions from the ocean, including future seabed mining for minerals and sampling of genetic data. But the book extends far beyond Linke's research, presenting the latest research from a variety of fields and employing art as the place where disciplines can converge. Integrating the work of artists with scientific, theoretical, and philosophical analysis, Prospecting Ocean demonstrates that visual culture offers new and urgent perspectives on ecological crises.

Download or read book Plastic Soup written by Michiel Roscam Abbing and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plastics have transformed every aspect of our lives. Yet the very properties that make them attractive—they are cheap to make, light, and durable—spell disaster when trash makes its way into the environment. Plastic Soup: An Atlas of Ocean Pollution is a beautifully-illustrated survey of the plastics clogging our seas, their impacts on wildlife and people around the world, and inspirational initiatives designed to tackle the problem. In Plastic Soup, Michiel Roscam Abbing of the Plastic Soup Foundation reveals the scope of the issue: plastic trash now lurks on every corner of the planet. With striking photography and graphics, Plastic Soup brings this challenge to brilliant life for readers. Yet it also sends a message of hope; although the scale of the problem is massive, so is the dedication of activists working to check it. Plastic Soup highlights a diverse array of projects to curb plastic waste and raise awareness, from plastic-free grocery stores to innovative laws and art installations. According to some estimates, if we continue on our current path, the oceans will contain more plastic than fish by the year 2050. Created to inform and inspire readers, Plastic Soup is a critical tool in the fight to reverse this trend.

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 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 Dawn of Flame Beings written by Pravir Malik and published by Possibilities Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dawn of Flame-Beings is built on the ten-book Cosmology of Light series. This original series was based on a simple exploration: why does light travel at the constant speed of c - 186,000 miles per second – in vacuum? This exploration led to the consideration of the intentionality of c, and to the consideration of light existing at other constant speeds ranging from infinity to zero. Each constant speed of light was imagined creating a distinct world or layer in which space, time, materialization, and other dynamics were uniquely emergent and operated differently. The interaction of five layers of light existing at different constant speeds was then mathematically modeled to explain all the past, diversity, possibility, and future of known material life. In the course of the mathematical modeling many unique beings and becomings were glimpsed – a mysterious creator with an eye that flashed light, a contrary beginning manifest as a dark bosom, titans, pralayas, world-embryos, a macro space-time-energy-gravity fourfoldness and its micro-counterpart the ever-present priest, battles between original darkness and forever emerging light, powerful meta and multi-function feminine and masculine aspects of the mysterious creator embodied as a She and a He, the earth as the place of an extraordinary courtship between them, the end of death, the birth of flame-beings, the growth and spreading of earth’s cosmic tree of light supplanting an original tree of life, the growth of flame-beings to far exceed their human origins in extraordinary ways, the seeding of new flame-being star-clusters, the changing of typal into evolutionary worlds, the birth of new quantum particles, new atoms, new molecular plans allowing Love to materially reveal more of its fullness, the glorious reign of matter one with spirit, the changing of cosmos, the continuous and fuller births of that original mystery manifesting in an unending display of splendor. In other words, a full mythology was glimpsed in the cosmology of light, and in The Dawn of Flame-Beings abstract and impersonal mathematical and scientific concepts have been personified to begin to materialize powers and forces and entities integral to the history and future of the earth and cosmos.

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 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.

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.
