Just a short post on my and my girlfriend’s Christmas together in 2017.
It’s been almost a year and we are planning in piece and quiet our next Christmas.
The most important thing in the coming Christmas is, that we spend it together. Our plans are to make it some kind of quiet Christmas with lots of reading.
At the moment there is snow in here, but let us hope, that there is snow in the land also in Christmas. 🙂
Two shows what even is;
everywhere where it fits evenly,
it exists;
and so is even that,
where two evenly fits.
So many are there twos in a number,
than the relation possible with two evenly is;
if that possible is.
For if it impossible is,
even number not is.
To eight goes two four times;
To six slips it three times;
To four it fits twice;
To zero it doesn’t fit;
No pairs are there in zero.
No trace of two.
”Where’s my pair?”
Zero asks…
Sometime in 2008 I heard music while sleeping. In fact it was me composing music in a dream. I always manage to do things in my dreams better than when I’m awake. The first time I composed music in my dream while sleeping, was when I was 15 years old.
The Amiga has only 4 hardware music channels. In my dream I had more advanced Amiga, that had 5 hardware channels and I composed with it music that I can’t really even imagine, when I’m awake — the music composed in my dream was beyond my ability to make music…
In 2008 I tried to put the notes together that I had heard in my dream. This is the result:
Sometimes when I’m programming in my dreams I feel that there is something, that I must program. I see the result of programming while sleeping, also the code and I experience myself thinking how to program something..
Sometimes when I’m over stressed in programming when I’m in fact sleeping, I suddenly realize that I’m not awake — I’m sleeping and I don’t have to do anything at all! …or do I still have to do all that? …even stress myself while sleeping and having a dream.
Those are moments when I experience somehow, that I have control over my dreams while sleeping…
Sometimes while sleeping and having a dream it takes a while to realize that I’m now not awake, this is only a dream. Though, I’ve started to think, that can I really say about my dreams, that they are only dreams…
I’ve had many nightmares where I’m haunted by demons.. Often in those nigthmares I’m also blind and can’t see my enemies — the demons — who attack me in number of ways… Once I fell off my bed to the floor and I woke up. In my dream I was dodging a demon impaling me…
It’s over midnight here.. Since the source code in one of my videos is not very readable, I decided to publish the Python source code of the video in this blog post.
import turtle
def draw_curve():
window = turtle.Screen()
turt=turtle.Turtle()
turt.setpos(-300,-100)
turt.clear()
turt.speed('fastest')
turt.hideturtle()
vonKoch(turt,5,500)
turt.left(120)
vonKoch(turt,5,500)
turt.left(120)
vonKoch(turt,5,500)
turt.left(120)
vonKoch(turt,5,500)
window.exitonclick()
def vonKoch(turt,depth,length):
if depth == 0: turt.forward(length)
else:
vonKoch(turt,depth-1,length/3)
turt.right(60)
vonKoch(turt,depth-1,length/3)
turt.left(120)
vonKoch(turt,depth-1,length/3)
turt.right(60)
vonKoch(turt,depth-1,length/3)
draw_curve()
That’s it for now. Time to go to sleep.
There are finite number of letters. If we limit the length of a word to finite amount of letters, the number of all possible words is also finite.
If there were infinite number of letters in a word and this word consisted of infinite amount of sounds, the pronunciation of a word would never end.
As there are finite number of words, also the number of consepts formed from these words is finite.
On the other hand, if we would create consepts in mathematical way, we could have infinite number of consepts. Though, all of them couldn’t be explicitly ever written nor said in finite amount of time.
I’ve sometimes wonderd, that how many meaningful natural languages of humans’ from all of these finite number of words could be formed — also how many grammars. What we understand by “meaningful language” might be hard to define…
The title is a bit absurd, we could examine the distance of any number from itself..
In the previous post I examined the property of distance being even or uneven. Let’s go back to distance of zero from itself. Formally the distance of zero from itself is |0 – 0| = 0. 0 mod 2 = 0, why isn’t this distance even?
The distance doesn’t exist, instead of distance we have a point. Euclid’s definition to a point is: “A point is that which has no part.” In Euclid words the “distance” of zero from itself, |0 – 0| = 0 has no part. Something like this isn’t even or uneven.
In an e-book called “The Way To Geometry” it says, that magnitude of a point is zero.
Philosophically speaking a point is what Democritus called “atomos” applied to geometry.
In short, there isn’t distance of zero from itself. The meaning of distance |0 – 0| = 0 is geometrically a point, something that has no part.
