Discovery of String Theory
The story goes that "In 1970, a young physicist named Leonard Susskind got stuck in an elevator with Murray Gell-Mann, one of physics' top theoreticians, who asked him what he was working on. Susskind said he was working on a theory that represented particles 'as some kind of elastic string, like a rubber band.' Gell-Mann responded with loud, derisive laughter."^[24]

"The Susskind-Hawking battle, also known as the black hole war,^[1] refers to the vigorous two-decade long debate^[2] that Stanford University theoretical physicist Leonard Susskind had with cosmologist Stephen Hawking over the behavior of black holes. Hawking argued that information is lost when black holes evaporate. Susskind found this idea so disturbing that "he publicly declared war",^[3] which he described in his book "The Black Hole War: My battle with Stephen Hawking to make the world safe for quantum mechanics". The solution to the problem that concluded the battle is the holographic principle, which was first proposed by Gerardus 't Hooft but was given a precise string theory interpretation by Susskind. With this, as the title of an article puts it, "Susskind quashes Hawking in quarrel over quantum quandary".^[4]

In quantum mechanics, the Hamiltonian H is the operator corresponding to the total energyspectrum is the set of possible outcomes when one measures the total energy of a system.

Quantum action principle

In ordinary quantum mechanics, the Hamiltonian is the infinitesimal generator of time-translations. This means that the state at a slightly later time is related to the state at the current time by acting with the Hamiltonian operator (times -i). For states with a definite energy, this is a statement of the DeBroglie relation between frequency and energy, and the general relation is consistent with that plus the superposition principle.
But the Hamiltonian in classical mechanics is derived from a Lagrangian, which is a more fundamental quantity considering special relativity. The Hamiltonian tells you how to march forward in time, but the notion of time is different in different reference frames. So the Hamiltonian is different in different frames, and this type of symmetry is not apparent in the original formulation of quantum mechanics.
The Hamiltonian is a function of the position and momentum at one time, and it tells you the position and momentum a little later. The Lagrangian is a function of the position now and the position a little later (or, equivalently for infinitesimal time separations, it is a function of the position and velocity). The relation between the two is by a Legendre transform, and the condition that determines the classical equations is that the Action is a minimum.

"Hamiltonian mechanics is a reformulation of classical mechanics that was introduced in 1833 by Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton. It arose from Lagrangian mechanics, a previous reformulation of classical mechanics introduced by Joseph Louis Lagrange in 1788, but can be formulated without recourse to Lagrangian mechanics using symplectic spaces (see Mathematical formalism, below). The Hamiltonian method differs from the Lagrangian method in that instead of expressing second-order differential constraints on an n-dimensional coordinate space (where n is the number of degrees of freedom of the system), it expresses first-order constraints on a 2n-dimensional phase space.^[1]

In mathematics, a symplectic manifold is a smooth manifold, M, equipped with a closed, nondegenerate, skew-symmetric 2-form, ω, called the symplectic form. The study of symplectic manifolds is called symplectic geometry or symplectic topology. Symplectic manifolds arise naturally in abstract formulations of classical mechanics and analytical mechanics as the cotangent bundles of manifolds, e.g., in the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics, which provides one of the major motivations for the field: The set of all possible configurations of a system is modelled as a manifold, and this manifold's cotangent bundle describes the phase space of the system.
Any real-valued differentiable function, H, on a symplectic manifold can serve as an energy function or Hamiltonian. Associated to any Hamiltonian is a Hamiltonian vector field; the integral curves of the Hamiltonian vector field are solutions to the Hamilton–Jacobi equations. The Hamiltonian vector field defines a flow on the symplectic manifold, called a Hamiltonian flow or symplectomorphism. By Liouville's theorem, Hamiltonian flows preserve the volume form on the phase space.

"M-theory is not yet complete; however it can be applied in many situations (usually by exploiting string theoretic dualities^{[clarification needed]}). The theory of electromagnetism was also in such a state in the mid-19th century; there were separate theories for electricity and magnetism and, although they were known to be related, the exact relationship was not clear until James Clerk Maxwell published his equations, in his 1864 paper A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field. Witten has suggested that a general formulation of M-theory will probably require the development of new mathematical language.^{[citation needed]} However, some scientists have questioned the tangible successes of M-theory given its current incompleteness^{[weasel words]}, and limited predictive power, even after so many years of intense research.

"In physics, Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory is a calculational approach to gauge theory and a special case of lattice gauge theory in which the space is discretized but time is not. The Hamiltonian^{[disambiguation needed]} is then re-expressed as a function of degrees of freedom defined on a d-dimensional lattice.
Following Wilson, the spatial components of the vector potential are replaced with Wilson lines over the edges, but the time component is associated with the vertices. However, the temporal gauge is often employed, setting the electric potential to zero. The eigenvalues of the Wilson line operators U(e) (where e is the (oriented) edge in question) take on values on the Lie group G. It is assumed that G is compact, otherwise we run into many problems. The conjugate operator to U(e) is the electric field E(e) whose eigenvalues take on values in the Lie algebra . The Hamiltonian receives contributions coming from the plaquettes (the magnetic contribution) and contributions coming from the edges (the electric contribution).
Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory is exactly dual to a theory of spin networks. This involves using the Peter-Weyl theorem. In the spin network basis, the spin network states are eigenstates of the operator Tr[E(e)²].

"Action principle in quantum mechanics and quantum field theory
In quantum mechanics, the system does not follow a single path whose action is stationary, but the behavior of the system depends on all imaginable paths and the value of their action. The action corresponding to the various paths is used to calculate the path integral, that gives the probability amplitudes of the various outcomes.
Although equivalent in classical mechanics with Newton's laws, the action principle is better suited for generalizations and plays an important role in modern physics. Indeed, this principle is one of the great generalizations in physical science. In particular, it is fully appreciated and best understood within quantum mechanics. Richard Feynman's path integral formulation of quantum mechanics is based on a stationary-action principle, using path integrals. Maxwell's equations can be derived as conditions of stationary action.

"The Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory (also called the Wheeler–Feynman Time-Symmetric theory) is an interpretation of electrodynamics that starts from the idea that a solution to the electromagnetic field equations has to be symmetric with respect to time-inversion, as are the field equations themselves. The motivation for such choice is mainly due to the importance that time symmetry has in physics. Indeed, there is no apparent reason for which such symmetry should be broken, and therefore one time direction has no privilege to be more important than the other. Thus, a theory that respects this symmetry appears, at least, more elegant than theories with which one has to arbitrarily choose one time direction over the other as the preferred one. It is named after its originators, the late physicists Richard Feynman and John Archibald Wheeler.

"His dream monologue was over, of cause, but his drama parapolylogic had yet to be, affact. --James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg.474..

As the modern understanding of particle physics began to develop, retrocausality was at times employed as a tool to model then-unfamiliar or unusual conditions, including electromagnetism and antimatter.

The Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory, proposed by John Archibald Wheeler and Richard Feynman, uses retrocausality and a temporal form of destructive interference to explain the absence of a type of converging concentric wave suggested by certain solutions to Maxwell's equations.^[15] These advanced waves don't have anything to do with cause and effect, they are just a different mathematical way of describe normal waves. The reason they were proposed is so that a charged particle would not have to act on itself, which, in normal classical electromagnetism leads to an infinite self-force.^[16]
Feynman, and earlier Stueckelberg, proposed an interpretation of the positron as an electron moving backward in time^[17], reinterpreting the negative-energy solutions of the Dirac equation. Electrons moving backward in time would have a positive electric charge. Wheeler invoked this concept to explain the identical properties shared by all electrons, suggesting that "they are all the same electron" with a complex, self-intersecting worldline.^[18] Yoichiro Nambu later applied it to all production and annihilation of particle-antiparticle pairs, stating that "the eventual creation and annihilation of pairs that may occur now and then is no creation or annihilation, but only a change of direction of moving particles, from past to future, or from future to past."^[19] The backwards in time point of view is nowadays accepted as completely equivalent to other pictures, but it doesn't have anything to do with the macroscopic terms "cause" and "effect", which do not appear in a microscopic physical description.

In quantum mechanics, a density matrix is a self-adjoint (or Hermitian) positive-semidefinite matrix, (possibly infinite dimensional), of trace one, that describes the statistical state of a quantum system. The formalism was introduced by John von Neumann (and according to other sources, independently by Lev Landau and Felix Bloch) in 1927.

It is the quantum-mechanical analogue to a phase-space probability measure (probability distribution of position and momentum) in classical statistical mechanics. The need for a statistical description via density matrices arises when one considers either an ensemble of systems, or one system when its preparation history is uncertain and one does not know with 100% certainty which pure quantum state the system is in.
Situations in which a density matrix is used include the following: a quantum system in thermal equilibrium (at finite temperatures); nonequilibrium time-evolution that starts out of a mixed equilibrium state; and entanglement between two subsystems, where each individual system must be described, via the partial trace operation, by a density matrix even though the complete system may be in a pure state; and in analysis of quantum decoherence. See also quantum statistical mechanics.

Limit on information density
Entropy, if considered as information (see information entropy), is measured in bits. The total quantity of bits is related to the total degrees of freedom of matter/energy.
In a given volume, there is an upper limit to the density of information about the whereabouts of all the particles which compose matter in that volume, suggesting that matter itself cannot be subdivided infinitely many times and there must be an ultimate level of fundamental particles. As the degrees of freedom of a particle are the product of all the degrees of freedom of its sub-particles, were a particle to have infinite subdivisions into lower-level particles, then the degrees of freedom of the original particle must be infinite, violating the maximal limit of entropy density. The holographic principle thus implies that the subdivisions must stop at some level, and that the fundamental particle is a bit (1 or 0) of information.

The holonomic model of the brain

Bohm also made significant^{[peacock term]} theoretical contributions to neuropsychology and the development of the holonomic model of the functioning of the brain.^[1] In collaboration with Stanford neuroscientist Karl Pribram, Bohm helped establish the foundation for Pribram's theory that the brain operates in a manner similar to a hologram, in accordance with quantum mathematical principles and the characteristics of wave patterns. These wave forms may compose hologram-like organizations, Bohm suggested, basing this concept on his application of Fourier analysis, a mathematical method for decomposing complex waves into component sine waves. The holonomic brain model developed by Pribram and Bohm posits a lens defined world view— much like the textured prismatic effect of sunlight refracted by the churning mists of a rainbow— a view which is quite different from the more conventional "objective reality" - not to be confused with objectivity - approach. Pribram held that if psychology means to understand the conditions that produce the world of appearances, it must look to the thinking of physicists like Bohm.^[2]

"Sharpen his pillowscone, tap up his bier! E'erawhere in this whorl would ye hear sich a din again? --James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg.6"

"The de Broglie–Bohm theory, also called the pilot-wave theory, Bohmian mechanics, and the causal interpretation, is an interpretation of quantum theory. As in quantum theory, it contains a wavefunction - a function on the space of all possible configurations. Additionally, it also contains an actual configuration, even in situations where nobody observes it. The evolution over time of the configuration (that is, of the positions of all particles or the configuration of all fields) is defined by the wave function via a guiding equation). The evolution of the wavefunction over time is given by Schrödinger's equation.
The de Broglie–Bohm theory is explicitly non-local. The velocity of any one particle depends on the value of the wavefunction, which depends on the whole configuration of the universe.
This theory is deterministic. Relativistic variants require a preferred frame. Variants which handle spin and curved spaces are known. It can be modified to handle quantum field theory. Bell's theorem was inspired by Bell's discovery of the work of David Bohm and his subsequent wondering if the obvious non-locality of the theory could be removed.

In particle physics, supersymmetry (often abbreviated SUSY) is a symmetry that relates elementary particles of one spin to other particles that differ by half a unit of spin and are known as superpartners. In a theory with unbroken supersymmetry, for every type of boson there exists a corresponding type of fermion with the same mass and internal quantum numbers, and vice-versa.
So far, there is only indirect evidence for the existence of supersymmetry.^[1] Since the superpartners of the Standard Model particles have not been observed, supersymmetry, if it exists, must be a broken symmetry, allowing the superparticles to be heavier than the corresponding Standard Model particles.

"Stringstly is it forbidden by the honorary tenth commendmant to shall not bare full sweetness against a nighboor's wiles. --James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg.615.

Before the 1990s, string theorists believed there were five distinct superstring theories: open type I, closed type I, closed type IIA, closed type IIB, and the two flavors of heterotic string theory (SO(32) and E₈×E₈)^[15]. The thinking was that out of these five candidate theories, only one was the actual correct theory of everything, and that theory was the one whose low energy limit, with ten spacetime dimensions compactified down to four, matched the physics observed in our world today. It is now believed that this picture was incorrect and that the five superstring theories are connected to one another as if they are each a special case of some more fundamental theory (thought to be M-theory). These theories are related by transformations that are called dualities. If two theories are related by a duality transformation, it means that the first theory can be transformed in some way so that it ends up looking just like the second theory. The two theories are then said to be dual to one another under that kind of transformation. Put differently, the two theories are mathematically different descriptions of the same phenomena.
These dualities link quantities that were also thought to be separate. Large and small distance scales, as well as strong and weak coupling strengths, are quantities that have always marked very distinct limits of behavior of a physical system in both classical field theory and quantum particle physics. But strings can obscure the difference between large and small, strong and weak, and this is how these five very different theories end up being related. T-duality relates the large and small distance scales between string theories, whereas S-duality relates strong and weak coupling strengths between string theories. U-duality links T-duality and S-duality.

A root system of rank r is a particular finite configuration of vectors, called roots, which span an r-dimensional Euclidean space and satisfy certain geometrical properties. In particular, the root system must be invariant under reflection through the hyperplane perpendicular to any root.
The E₈ root system is a rank 8 root system containing 240 root vectors spanning R⁸. It is irreducible in the sense that it cannot be built from root systems of smaller rank. All the root vectors in E₈ have the same length. It is convenient for many purposes to normalize them to have length √2.

The E₈ Lie group has applications in theoretical physics, in particular in string theory and supergravity. The group E₈×E₈ (the Cartesian product of two copies of E₈) serves as the gauge group of one of the two types of heterotic string and is one of two anomaly-free gauge groups that can be coupled to the N = 1 supergravity in 10 dimensions. E₈ is the U-duality group of supergravity on an eight-torus (in its split form).
One way to incorporate the standard model of particle physics into heterotic string theory is the symmetry breaking of E₈ to its maximal subalgebra SU(3)×E₆.
In 1982, Michael Freedman used the E₈ lattice to construct an example of a topological 4-manifold, the E₈ manifold, which has no smooth structure.
In February 2008, Garret Lisi published a particle physics theory based on the E₈ Lie group.^[1]. In March 2010, Jacques Distler and Skip Garibaldi of Emory University, published a paper that they believed was refuting Lisi's theory.^[2]
In 2010 it was reported that in an experiment with a cobalt-niobium crystal, under certain physical conditions the electron spins in it exhibited the symmetry of E₈.^[3]

Examples and intuition

The most well-known example and the first one to be studied is the duality between Type IIB supergravity on AdS⁵ S⁵ (a product space of a five-dimensional Anti de Sitter space and a five-sphere) on one hand, and N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on the four-dimensional boundary of the Anti de Sitter space (either a flat four-dimensional spacetime R^3,1 or a three-sphere with time S³ R).^[22] This is known as the AdS/CFT correspondence, a name often used for Gauge / gravity duality in general.
This duality can be thought of as follows: suppose there is a spacetime with a gravitational source, for example an extremal black hole.^[23] When particles are far away from this source, they are described by closed strings (i.e. a gravitational theory, or usually supergravity). As the particles approach the gravitational source, they can still be described by closed strings; alternatively, they can be described by objects similar to QCD strings,^[24][25][26] which are made of gauge bosons (gluons) and other gauge theory degrees of freedom.^[27] So if one is able (in a decoupling limit) to describe the gravitational system as two separate regions — one (the bulk) far away from the source, and the other close to the source — then the latter region can also be described by a gauge theory on D-branes. This latter region (close to the source) is termed the near-horizon limit, since usually there is an event horizon around (or at) the gravitational source.

-- Three quarks for Muster Mark! --James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg. 383.

A quark-gluon plasma (QGP) or quark soup^[1] is a phase of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) which exists at extremely high temperature and/or density. This phase consists of (almost) free quarks and gluons, which are several of the basic building blocks of matter. Experiments at CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) first tried to create the QGP in the 1980s and 1990s: the results led CERN to announce indirect evidence for a "new state of matter"^[2] in 2000. Current experiments at Brookhaven National Laboratory's Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) are continuing this effort.^[3]
Although the results have yet to be independently verified as of February 2010, scientists at Brookhaven RHIC have tentatively claimed to have created a quark-gluon plasma with an approximate temperature of 4 trillion degrees Celsius.^[4]

"Antony Valentini is a British theoretical physicist. He was a student of Dennis Sciama. Valentini has been working on an extension of David Bohm's "ontological interpretation" of quantum theory that would allow "signal nonlocality" that is forbidden in orthodox quantum theory. "Signal nonlocality" allows nonlocal quantum entanglement to be used as a stand-alone communication channel without the need of a classical light-speed limited retarded signal to unlock the entangled message from the sender to the receiver. This would be a major revolution in physics and would possibly make the cosmic landscape string theory Popper falsifiable.

In theoretical physics, the Pilot Wave theory was the first known example of a hidden variable theory, presented by Louis de Broglie in 1927. Its more modern version, the Bohm interpretation, remains a controversial attempt to interpret quantum mechanics as a deterministic theory, avoiding troublesome notions such as instantaneous wavefunction collapse and the paradox of Schrödinger's cat.

"The Gariaev (Garyaev) group (1994)^[7] has proposed a theory of the Wave-based Genome where the DNA-wave functions as a Biocomputer. They suggest (1) that there are genetic "texts", similar to natural context-dependent texts in human language; (2) that the chromosome apparatus acts simultaneously both as a source and receiver of these genetic texts, respectively decoding and encoding them; (3) that the chromosome continuum acts like a dynamical holographic grating, which displays or transduces weak laser light and solitonic electro-acoustic fields.

The distribution of the character frequency in genetic texts is fractal, so the nucleotides of DNA molecules are able to form holographic pre-images of biostructures. This process of "reading and writing" the very matter of our being manifests from the genome's associative holographic memory in conjunction with its quantum nonlocality. Rapid transmission of genetic information and gene-expression unite the organism as holistic entity embedded in the larger Whole. The system works as a biocomputer—a wave biocomputer.

"Penrose went on to consider what it was in the human brain that might not be driven by algorithms. The physical law is described by algorithms, so it was not easy for Penrose to come up with physical properties or processes that are not described by them. He was forced to look to quantum theory for a plausible candidate.
In quantum theory, the fundamental units, the quanta, are in some respects quite unlike objects that are encountered in the large scale world described by classical physics. When sufficiently isolated from the environment, they can be viewed as waves. However these are not the same as matter waves, such as waves in the sea. The quantum waves are essentially waves of probability, the varying probability of finding a particle at some specific position. (These probabilities apply to other states of the particle, such as its momentum, but for the sake of simplicity we will refer to position.) The peak of the wave indicates the location with maximum probability of a particle being found there. The different possible positions of the particle are referred to as superpositions or quantum superpositions. We are speaking here of the isolated form of the quanta. When the quanta are the subject of measurements or of interaction with the environment, the wave characteristic is lost, and a particle is found at a specific point. This change is commonly referred to as the collapse of the wave function.

The holonomic brain theory, originated by psychologist Karl Pribram and initially developed in collaboration with physicist David Bohm, is a model for human cognition that is drastically different from conventionally accepted ideas: Pribram and Bohm posit a model of cognitive function as being guided by a matrix of neurological wave interference patterns situated temporally between holographic Gestalt perception and discrete, affective, quantum vectors derived from reward anticipation potentials.
Pribram was originally struck by the similarity of the hologram idea and Bohm's idea of the implicate order in physics, and contacted him for collaboration. In particular, the fact that information about an image point is distributed throughout the hologram, such that each piece of the hologram contains some information about the entire image, seemed suggestive to Pribram about how the brain could encode memories.^[1]. Pribram was encouraged in this line of speculation by the fact that DeValois and DeValois^[2] had found that "the spatial frequency encoding displayed by cells of the visual cortex was best described as a Fourier transform of the input pattern."^[3] This holographic idea led to the coining of the term "holonomic" to describe the idea in wider contexts than just holograms.

Holographic data storage captures information using an optical interference pattern within a thick, photosensitive optical material. Light from a single laser beam is divided into two separate optical patterns of dark and light pixels. By adjusting the reference beam angle, wavelength, or media position, a multitude of holograms (theoretically, several thousand) can be stored on a single volume. The theoretical limits for the storage density of this technique is approximately several tens of Terabytes (1 terabyte = 1024 gigabytes) per cubic centimeter. In 2006, InPhase Technologies published a white paper reporting an achievement of 500 Gb/in². From this figure we can deduce that a regular disk (with 4 cm radius of writing area) could hold up to a maximum of 3895.6GB^{[clarification needed][2]}

3D optical data storage is the term given to any form of optical data storage in which information can be recorded and/or read with three dimensional resolution (as opposed to the two dimensional resolution afforded, for example, by CD).
This innovation has the potential to provide terabyte-level mass storage on DVD-sized disks. Data recording and readback are achieved by focusing lasers within the medium. However, because of the volumetric nature of the data structure, the laser light must travel through other data points before it reaches the point where reading or recording is desired. Therefore, some kind of nonlinearity is required to ensure that these other data points do not interfere with the addressing of the desired point.
No commercial product based on 3D optical data storage has yet arrived on the mass market, although several companies are actively developing the technology and predict that it will become available by the end of 2010.

A de Sitter universe is a solution to Einstein's field equations of General Relativity which is named after Willem de Sitter. It models the universe as spatially flat and neglects ordinary matter, so the dynamics of the universe are dominated by the cosmological constant, thought to correspond to dark energy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Sitter_universe

"her birthright pang that would split an atam" James Joyce, FW, pg. 333.

In mathematics and physics, n-dimensional de Sitter space, denoted dS_n, is the Lorentzian analog of an n-sphere (with its canonical Riemannian metric). It is a maximally symmetric, Lorentzian manifold with constant positive curvature, and is simply-connected for n at least 3.
In the language of general relativity, de Sitter space is the maximally symmetric, vacuum solution of Einstein's field equation with a positive (repulsive) cosmological constant Λ (corresponding to a positive vacuum energy density and negative pressure). When n = 4, it is also a cosmological model for the physical universe; see de Sitter universe.
De Sitter space was discovered by Willem de Sitter, and independently by Tullio Levi-Civita (1917). More recently it has been considered as the setting for special relativity rather than using Minkowski space and such a formulation is called de Sitter relativity.

Which route are they going? Why? Angell sitter or Amen Corner, Norwood's Southwalk or Euston Waste? The solvent man in his upper gambeson withnot a breth against him and the wee wiping womanahoussy. --James Joyce, Finnegans Wake, pg. 578.

In mathematical physics, de Sitter invariant special relativity is a speculative idea that the fundamental symmetry group of spacetime is that of de Sitter space. In the standard theory of General Relativity, de Sitter space is a highly symmetrical special vacuum solution, which requires a cosmological constant or the stress-energy of a constant scalar field to sustain. The idea of de Sitter invariant relativity is to require that the laws of physics are not fundamentally invariant under the Poincaré group of special relativity, but under the symmetry group of de Sitter space instead. With this assumption, empty space automatically has deSitter symmetry, and what would normally be called the cosmological constant in General Relativity becomes a fundamental dimensional parameter describing the symmetry structure of space-time.
First proposed by Luigi Fantappiè in 1954, the theory remained obscure until it was rediscovered in 1968 by Henri Bacry and Jean-Marc Lévy-Leblond. In 1972, Freeman Dyson popularized it as a hypothetical road by which mathematicians could have guessed part of the structure of General Relativity before it was discovered. ^[1] The discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe has led to a revival of interest in deSitter invariant theories, in conjunction with other speculative proposals for new physics, like doubly special relativity.

In physics, the AdS/CFT correspondence (anti-de-Sitter space/conformal field theory correspondence), sometimes called the Maldacena duality, is the conjectured equivalence between a string theory defined on one space, and a quantum field theory without gravity defined on the conformal boundary of this space, whose dimension is lower by one or more. The name suggests that the first space is the product of anti de Sitter space (AdS) with some closed manifold like sphere, orbifold, or noncommutative space, and that the quantum field theory is a conformal field theory (CFT).^[1]

An example is the duality between Type IIB string theory on AdS₅ × S⁵ space (a product of five dimensional AdS space with a five dimensional sphere) and a supersymmetric N=4 Yang-Mills gauge theory (which is a conformal field theory) on the 4-dimensional boundary of AdS₅. It is the most successful realization of the holographic principle, a speculative idea about quantum gravity originally proposed by Gerard 't Hooft and improved and promoted by Leonard Susskind.

"Probabilistically checkable proofs give rise to many complexity classes depending on the number of queries required and the amount of randomness used. The class PCP[r(n),q(n)] refers to the set of decision problems that have probabilistically checkable proofs that can be verified in polynomial time using at most r(n) random bits and by reading at most q(n) bits of the proof. Unless specified otherwise, correct proofs should always be accepted, and incorrect proofs should be rejected with probability greater than 1/2. The PCP theorem, a major result in computational complexity theory, states that PCP[O(log n),O(1)] = NP.

In literary criticism, stream of consciousness is a narrative mode that seeks to portray an individual's point of view by giving the written equivalent of the character's thought processes, either in a loose interior monologue, or in connection to his or her actions.

Stream-of-consciousness writing is usually regarded as a special form of interior monologue and is characterized by associative leaps in syntax and punctuation that can make the prose difficult to follow. Stream of consciousness and interior monologue are distinguished from dramatic monologue, where the speaker is addressing an audience or a third person, and is used chiefly in poetry or drama. In stream of consciousness, the speaker's thought processes are more often depicted as overheard in the mind (or addressed to oneself); it is primarily a fictional device. The term was introduced to the field of literary studies from that of psychology, where it was coined by philosopher and psychologist William James.

HYPERBOLIC CORAL REEF UK TOUR

Crochet project highlights plight of coral reef

As the reef tours, people are learning to crochet and adding their coral

A crochet coral reef, which is travelling around the country, has arrived in Colchester.

The UK Hyperbolic Reef is a large-scale artwork that consists of thousands of brightly coloured crocheted coral.

"It is all the beautiful colours that you imagine in a real coral reef when you see it underwater," said Judith Merrit, head of learning at firstsite.

"We want people to 'grow' this coral reef. The point is it doesn't just stay as a piece of artwork," she added.

"We're putting a challenge out there, we're asking the people in Colchester to join in."

'Hyperbolic' describes the technique used to make the crochet reef. It is the same process that causes coral reef to grow.

"How a coral reef grows in wavy lines is so how the crochet grows," said Judith.

"When you are doing this particular crochet you use a technique that makes it grow in that form."

Textile artist Gilly Burrell has been demonstrating the basics of crochet at events at firstsite in Short Wyre Street, Colchester.

"The lovely thing is it introduces the vocabulary of the process. It introduces mathematical concepts, you can look into the geography of it, the curved lines things like that," said Gilly.

To further highlight the importance of looking after the world's coral reef, some parts have been made out of recycled materials.

"I've made a piece out of video tape and clear plastic magazine covers cut into lengths and then crocheted," said Gilly.

CHUNESE CUBED YEAR of the IRON TIGER

"Chinese New Year's Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve". --wiki/Chinese_new_year

I am thrilled CHU is work on a roject that connects with the ORIENT. Like the 'MONKEY: Journey to the West' MONKEY TRAIN that chu helped to decorate with Gorillaz' artist and friend Jamie Hewlett.

Chu is turning slightly chunese, temorarily, with his CHU CUBE launch in conjunction with a UK collective of artists coming together to celebrate the Chinee new year 2010 (The year of the IRON TIGER)

Jamies Hewlett more or less animated the Beijing Olympic Games by translating the great Chinese Classic of literature MONKEY: Journey to the WEST. I blogged extensively on MONKEY back in June 2007 when they had their Gorillaz' London theatre launch and before I had any idea Jamie would go on to animate the OLYMPIC GAMES in 08. A great shock when I saw the brilliant introduction on the TV screen in July 2008.

CHU takes on many possible meanings in Chinese, meaning that I have been studying for around six years, due in most part to my interest in the poet Ezra Pound and in particular his interest in the Chinese written character as medium for poetry.

I see a synchronicity in the fact that this TIGER BEER infused CHINESE NEW YEAR show throughout England, has been indexed and formulated around the ancient Oriental system of the five phases, five steps, or five the elements, a clever idea, and one I hope will continue after the New Year and play into the presentation of all five events when all the multimedia is collected and re-presented.

I already incorporated a similar system of elements, somewhat into my TURNTABLE METHOD where a new system enables DJ's to conduct textual mixing. Some of this system is described in the following excerpt from wikiedia describing the FIVE ELEMENTAL PHASES in the Chinese model, please visit these links to see my own further correspondences.

"Each direction is often identified with a color, and (at least in China) with a mythological creature of that color. Geographical or ethnic terms may contain the name of the color instead of the name of the corresponding direction.^[4][5] These traditions were also carried west by the westward migration of the Turkic peoples.

East: Green (青 "qīng" corresponds to green); Spring; Wood

Qingdao (Tsingtao) "Green Island": a city on the east coast of China

South: Red; Summer; Fire

Red River (Asia): south of China

Red Sea: south of Turkey

West: White; Autumn; Metal

White Sheep Turkmen

Ak Deniz "White Sea" in Turkish indicates the Sea of Marmara, the Aegean Sea, or the Mediterranean Sea

Belarus (literally "White Russia"), according to one of the theories is the name given to the Western Rus by the Mongols

North: Black; Winter; Water

Heilongjiang "Black Dragon River" province in Northeast China, also the Amur River

Black Sea: north of Turkey

Kara-Khitan Khanate

Center: Yellow; Earth

Mount Huang "Yellow Mountain" in central China

Golden Horde: "Central Army" of the Mongols" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal_direction#Far_East

Between my own study of Chinese Ideogram, Oriental poetry, history, I-Ching and Magick I have come to appreciate these systems more each day I look deeper into them and incorporate them, tables of correspondences help me to build my ideas Ideas and tabulate them.

Maybe the synchronicity of the CHINESE NEW YEAR falling a holoiday some westerners still celebrate as 'Valentine's day', can give us understanding of the mathematical wonder and wisdom inherent in dates, times and synchronicity.

"Losar (Tibetan: ལོ་གསར་; Wylie: lo-gsar; Chinese: 洛薩, Chinese: 洛萨) is the Tibetan word for "new year." Lo holds the semantic field "year, age"; sar holds the semantic field "new, fresh". Losar is the most important holiday in Tibet.^[1]

"The first year of the first drug-cu skor cycle started in 1024 AD. The cycles were counted by ordinal numbers, but the years within the cycles were never counted but referred to by special names. The structure of the drug-cu skor was as follows:

Each year is associated with an animal and an element, similar to the Chinese zodiac. Animals have the following order:

Hare

Dragon

Snake

Horse

Sheep

Ape

Bird

Dog

Pig

Mouse

Bull

Tiger

Elements have the following order:

Fire

Earth

Iron

Water

Wood

Each element is associated with two consecutive years, first in its male aspect, then in its female aspect. For example, a male Earth-Dragon year is followed by a female Earth-Snake year, then by a male Iron-Horse year. The sex may be omitted, as it can be inferred from the animal.

HALF A HUNDRED CHINESE IDEOGRAMS FOR CHU. BY FLY. (edited 2008 & 2010)

"It is not our job to say what our precursors ought to have done, but we can try to find out why they did it. –Ezra Pound, Typescript for a preliminary survey. (1951)

“EZRA POUND’S CHINESE FRIENDS, edited and annotated by Zhaoming Qian" rekindled my interest in the IDEOGRAMIC METHOD, a method originally introduced to me by Dr. Robert Anton Wilson during his on-line 8 week class entitled: The Ideogramic Method.(2004)

Some may win a Nobel prize for translation and copying, others might end up confined to a detension centre. Does translation equal treason? Instant poetry? Magick?

Qian’s book consists of letters between EZ and some of his Chinese friends, Qian also includes the APPENDIX 'Typescript for a preliminary survey. (1951).' This introduction, overview, explication and detailed essay of correspondances, concerns the Chinese Written characters almost entirely. Some good writing about pictures, and often instant POETRY by translation.

I started the on-line class with Dr. Wilson in 2004 while still living in New Orleans, Louisiana, and soon noticed that my good friend CHU (CHU 51) was already a part of the class, synchronistically, to me, because of all the various CHU’ ideograms to be found within Pound’s poem “The Cantos”.

That book was a corner stone of the TTOTT course work and assignments at the Maybelogic Academy. Many different references to CHU can be found in Pound's CANTOS (CH’U, CHOU, CHO, CHUNG, CHUE, CHIANG, CHÜ, etc.)

Four years later, published in the Appendix of Zhoaming's book (2008), are a comprehensive study of the CH’ ideograms and correspondingly CHU ideograms from the Chinese written language. A huge help and fascinating system of translation.

The feeling of synchronicity whenever I encountered CHU in Pound's Cantos spooked me out since starting to read Pound's Epic, I confess, but now with this helpful translation of CH' ideograms by Ezra Pound himself, I can better extract sufficient information to begin to UNIFY the ancient Chinese written language with some of the newer western traditions. And what better place to start than with CHU 51.

With a basis rooted in the historical transfer of the Ernest Fenollosa Dossier' called 'The Chinese Written Character as a Medium for Poetry' from his widow: Mary McNeil Fenollosa, to Ezra Pound, and William Butler Yeats, Pound's room mate in London, and so to the rest of the world by artistic osmosis into the 20th and 21st centuries, modernism, post-modernism, etc.

I hold a special focus on CHU's stereoscopic anaglyphic GRAFFITI, as one way of describing what and how my friend CHU communicates, paying particular attention to sign, symbol, word, picture, idea, gramar, logic and rhetoric. Themes often overlooked in Graffiti culture, that I feel help to distinguish the social uses of language from the political abuses and unfair corporate bias.

I will be modifying the ideograms and updating them as I perfect my own understandings and calligraphic writing skills.

ITALICS and BOLD are added to the following quote for extra accent!

(Excerpt from APPENDIX Ezra Pound's Typescript for "Preliminary Survey" (1951)

Starting in the midst of the CH sounds we find
CHAO out of 20 we have six knives (let us say bright knife blades) 2 claws and one lance. Chao, omen (dots seperated by something listed as legs rad/ not under pa); summon (cutting voice)
ideogram chao or hua, search, paddle, to oar, beckon (hand plus knife-blade voice) bright (sun blade); dawn (whence ch'ao court, a.m attendance at court etc.)
enlighten, etc. fiery gla[n]ce, summons.
claws: bamboo claw, a skimmer or ladle.
basket for catching fish (to claw fish, seems unlikely, and the sign is more probably allied to cho or chao to cover).
first, begin[n]ing, Chu (or chao) clear, bright.
announcer, edict
hasten to visit, pierce
We have clear indication of the root meaning to cut, and slight possibility of combination with AO (to examine later) in CH'AO
eleven rather uninteresting ideograms, 4 containing shao (few) and three nest. Nest with knife, attack; idem with strength, toil at, fag; quarrel; ridicule (court voice); seize, take ladle out (vide chao, ladle) fray, slight epidemic, ch'ao or chao paper money." --(Page 208-209)

"CHO 17 uniformally expressing the idea: to lay hold of with the ictogram whowing what does or is done to, no connection with CH verbs be at, or cut [ ]
CHOU
The great dynastic name, given as verb: provide, extend, make a circuit, adjective: enough, close secret; bend, revolution, circumference. Certainly associated with the idea of motion.

19 ideograms in a multilated copy of Tsang picture as with grass indication: wrinkles mostly what lies close together, and in some cases what revolves. On the whole it seems to belong to our CH locative. Various CH’OU can be associated with the CH cut idea without great strain, and by ref/ to the pictograms. The first CH’O to stab, is a clear case.
CHU, to go out of
THE GREAT GENERATIVE, root of a tree lying
above ground, BAMBOO (the radical)
A half hundred ideograms in the CHU list, a rule, a lord, to halt to go out of, several of them clearly indication: origin, others baffling till we come to the clue in the 14th. “root of a tree lying above ground,” that picture unites the heteroclite for the eye. The bamboo radical indicates a particular result or root, something from which a thing goes, or on which it stays, a SOURCE. This CHU is definitely of the locative verb.
As with WEI, leather, we have apparently heteroclite meanings.
We have also in our own language traces of similar not-ambiguities. To hide, conceal, to give hiding. The leather curtain, the lash, the thong that binds, the showing a whip to a dog to produce respect or fear. So with the 32nd CHU, beat down, build erect, flap, the picture is dulcimer (bamboo radical) over a tree. The ambiguity of up, down, flap, and all equal to verb “y to bamboo,” i.e to do what the bamboo does or is under for. The “dulcimer” includes “work” and sign (i shd/ say for motion) that has no defined meaning as a seperate ideogram. 41. punish, eradicate
CHU 2
We root in the ground to root up, and we are said to be rooted when we stop and stand firm.
The CHU list is too long to reproduce here, but the earnest readers can enjoy himself with it if he be so minded.
In tracing our CH conjugation we may even end with the idea that to “be at” or move, and to CUT have something in common. We “cut along.” We depart, part and split. The ax makes a clean cut and seperates. An active and an intransitive CH are not inconceivable.
CHÜ, with the umlaut is not going to fit very neatly into scheme so far outlined. We find however a carpenter’s square, utensil, arrange. If CHÜ (umlaut) enters our scheme at all it must be pre-it must have to do with preparation. Someone else must determine whether the cauldron preceded the altar. In the boiled sacrifice thay are the same. An element which Tsang gives as meaning: great, huge, combines with arrow sign to make the carpenter’s square. A saw is found lower in the list, also some saw tooth mountains. The saw may be ONOMATOPOEIC.
I leave CHÜ with judgement suspended.
CHÜ However does seem, in 24 ideograms fairly consistent in indication either preparation or unpreparedness, the preparation distinguished in the pictograms to show whether the preparation is in the cook house or the field, or by the pestle, for unprepared perhaps i shd/ write irresolute, hesitant (feet rad/). Both CHÜ and CH’Ü umlaut seem heteroclite, all one can observe is that if the groups seem without nexus, the individual words also seem without very comprehensible centre to their divergent meaning ascribed to them singly. Whether one shd/ postulate various lost terminal consonants, and leakages of meaning from other groups i do not know i see nothing here help to help define the CH verb.
CHUAN however seems fairly consistently to include the idea of turn, indicated definitely in 5 out of 13 ideograms, and for the most part directly relatable to either the CH of motion or of cutting.
Most of the 13 CH’UAN are clearly “connect” with pictogram of what (string, stream, beam) with a couple of violent exceptions, possibly emphasized chu’an, chu(boat) ang.
CHÜAN and CH’ÜANG [umlaut], the first fairly heteroclite, the second definitely indicating curvature which is also indicated in the pictograms, two of 12 CHÜAN and 6 of 11 CHÜAN (small circle, wriggle of snake)
CHUANG, CH’UANG, idea of weight, strength, bed is frequent.
CHUE, CHUEH, CHUEH (umlaut) CH’UEH (umlaut), this suffix EH is the latin ex, horn projection, husk
The chue is ambiguous in sound, but the pictogram contains “out of.”
CHÜEN and CHÜEN connect with the CHÜAN and CH’ÜAN.
CHUI
CHUI tempts to several false analogies: how do we connect sew, beat, hammer and awl?
I think the clue is in the simple radical for short tailed bird. The bird has a sharp beak and pecks, some hammers look not unlike certain birds. The thread and four stitches is the pictorial explanation of what happens with that particular piercing. Clay walls are hammered together but i do not think this is the primary association between the divergent senses of the sound chui.
CHUI belongs in the leather and root class. The verbal sense carries over quite clearly into at least three ch’ui: to beat, and two kinds of mallet, differentiated in ideogram.
The CHUN and CH’UN groups (lips and spring) are independent and extraneous from our locative or cut conjugations but CHÜN umlaut has clear indication of place above, latin super or altus, as with the water ad/ seep sea, italian mare alto. The third chun, even, equal must be taken as “level up to” and chun water level or plumb-line is wd/ say its relation. The verbal sense of the 15th chun can only be traced thru its noun, hornless deer (bind, seize, collect). But superior, ruler, high (with mountain rad/) etc. belong, i shd/ say without question to our verb CH.
CH’UN (umlaut) might be scattered were it not for the graphic signs. Grain heaped in an enclosure; the chief place above the sheep; the dress on the noble; granary, flock, and skirt for a lady.
CHUNG we have already located as the perpendicular axis potently locative, the weight that draws to the center, with ch’ung.
The single CH’OU is an eloquent picture of grind with the teeth (teeth and foot), and augur to bore a hole.
Let us now return to our omitted CH forms
CHE' circumflex, 19 ideograms
1. wise (hand, ax, mouth) clear cut, know intuitively cutting clean into.
the sense of cut (CH) is clear in a number of cases, in others the ictogram indicates the primitive associations with cutting (five axes, a knife). The wagon rad/ is given two sounds che' and CHÜ umlaut, and the ideograms with two signs assigned them always raise doubts. –Ezra Pound, APPENDIX (1951), EZRA POUND’S CHINESE FRIENDS, ZHOAMING QIAN 2008. OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS. (Pages 213-215)

I will add ten wiki links I feel are helpful to any on-going study to build bridges between the Orient and Occident, somewhat independently, and by way of poetry, painting and Magick.

"The umlaut is a diacritic consisting of a pair of dots or lines placed over a letter. A very similar diacritic is the diaeresis or trema. When the vowel is an i, the diacritic replaces the tittle. The two diacritics are very similar in appearance, and the distinction between them is not always made. “Umlaut” is a German word roughly meaning “changed sound” or “altered sound”–wiki/umlaut.

Some of you may remember the cube I made, from last year. Version 1.2 is being built in a few weeks time.

In Birmingham.

This new cube will have a 3D interior, that you view through a pair of 3D glasses, as part of the Tiger Beer Lucky 8 campaign to celebrate Chinese New Year. The number 8 is considered to be a lucky charm in China, and the cube has 8 corners.

As you stand on the Sweet Spot within the cube and wear the glasses, the corners and joins will vanish out of sight, creating an illusion never witnessed before. Its the accumulation of a few techniques that I’ve been working with for some years and it was the next logical progression for my Cubic experiments. Recently an edition of only 33 prints of my new sketch ‘Cover Your Tracks’ was released in 3D too.

3D CUBE v1.2

Launch 15th February 2010 and showing for only 1 week at:

Boxxed, 104-105 Floodgate Street, Digbeth Birmingham B5 5SR.

(vistors to the 51 Degrees exhibition or the Line Steppers group show will be comforted to know its the same venue!)

(3D glasses supplied)

FLY AGARIC ADDS SOME TEXTUAL CONTEXTUAL INFO:

MARK PESCE

The primary quality of any electric medium is its inherent electroplasticity, that is, its ability to construct a range of perceivable effects. The telegraph has a binary electroplasticity, dit and dah, whereas High-Definition Television has an exceptionally broad range of possible effects. As is natural in any technological evolution, electric media have tended toward a greater range of effects, or greater electroplasticity, through time.

Roughly a decade ago, major research began on media which are both highly electroplastic and designed to produce holosthesia. This word, coined by Martens[2] has its roots in the Greek holos (whole) and aisthesia (to feel or perceive), and describes any medium which produces the perception of an event through several (or all) sensory modalities in a self-consistent manner. Immersive technologies such as virtual reality fall into this class of electroplastic media. The fundamental intent of virtual reality is to produce in the observer the perception of an event as if it had occurred in the physical world. Holosthesia is the necessary component of such a form of synthetic perception. Cyberspace, at the union of the holosthetic technology of virtual reality and communications technology can create a shared holosthetic experience.[3] It is nowhere implied that this experience will be safe.

This is an important point, if only for the following reason; within twelve months, hundreds of thousands of children will be experimenting, on a daily basis, with a highly holosthetic medium. Experimenting is the operative word; within a few days more hours will be logged inside virtual environments by these children than has been amassed by the scientific community over a decade of research. Furthermore, as our tools and technology evolve beyond their current and primitive state, our ability to orchestrate holosthetic experience will be similarly extended, and this too raises questions: not of what is possible, but rather, what is safe. For this reason, this paper will directly address the issue of safety within holosthetic environments, particularly with respect to cyberspace.

Having participated in the design and implementation of one of these "Home VR" systems (Sega Virtua VR), the author has come to a realization which relates to all research work thus far performed in the field of holosthetic technology; while careful attention has been paid to the biological aspects of such systems, to prevent adverse physiological effects, very little research or design work has been conducted on the ontological or mythological content presented by these devices. Yet these aspects are fundamental to the devices themselves; the creation of a world necessarily implies the creation of a world-view. Geoffrey Hill, in Illuminating Shadows: The Mythic Power of Film discusses cinema, the most holosthetic of our current media, in the context of mythology.

The cinema has become to the modern world the
collective cathedral of primitive participation mystique.
It is the tribal dream house of modern
civilization...Indeed, the cinema is the theater of life, the
screen of human existence casting illuminating shadows
onto the wall of tribal participation...If Marshall McLuhan
is correct in arguing that each of our media is an
extension of ourselves, and that the medium is the
message, then his argument would support the contention
that film is but an extension of our most inner and
ancient consciousness...The dark cavern of the cinema is
reminiscent of a ceremonial sweat lodge, an initiation pit,
the dark night of the soul, the belly of the fish, the
alechemical grave, or the wilderness of the night
journey...It is the baptismal font where our skepticism is
drowned in the motherly sea of awe and wonder.[4]

If these statements are true of cinema, how much more so for immersive technologies, which, beyond providing a space for the "suspension of disbelief", bind the participant to the mythology through interaction within the mythos? Cinema is the passive viewing of a mythology, cyberspace the active participation within a space that is essentially mythic. This phenomenon, although an everyday occurrence within aboriginal and "primitive" societies, is unprecedented in rational "Western" civilization. Thus far this technological development has been an unconscious enterprise, directed primarily toward entertainment, but always containing a mythic thread.

This paper, then, contains two threads, one scientific and one ontological or mythic. Like the works of William Irwin Thomson, the author will suggest the existence of a continuity between these aspects; each helps to create and sustain a particular configuration of the other.

The scientist tries to examine the "real" nature of
the photograph; he tries to get away from psychological
configuration, the meaning of image, to move down to
some other, more basic level of patterns of alternating
dots of light and dark, a world of elementary particles.
And yet what does he find there but another mental
configuration, another arrangement of psychological
meaning?  If he persists in this direction long enough, the
mythological dimensions of science will become apparent
in his work, as they would if he had asked questions
about the meaning of sunlight rather than questions
about the behavior of photons.
    Science wrought to its uttermost becomes
myth...But what is myth that it returns to mind even
when we would most escape it?
    Forms of knowledge change as society changes.
Sometimes these changes are small and incremental; at
other times the changes are transformations of the
structures of knowledge and not merely the contents...But
this movement is not simply a linear and one-directional
shift toward increasing rationalization and
demystification; when the rational historian has come in
to take away authority from the mystical and tribal bard,
the artist has returned to create new forms of expression

to resacralize, re-enchant, remythologize.[5]
