Shannon points out that
as information in a message increases
[& resemblence to Chaos correspondingly increases]
the test for information lies in REDUNDANCE.
E.G. the Islamic content of first 7 paragraphs
seems more probabe after 3 refs of 1001 Nights, Mecca
scenery, Haroun, the prophet's coffin etc.
than it did with just the bay > bey sample |

as cpl Kling quoted
"a
waalworth of a skyerscape of most eyeful hoyth entowerly, erigenating
from next to nothing and celescalating the himals and all,
hierarchitectitptitoploftical, with a burning bush abob off its
baubletop and with laroons o'toolers clittering up and tombles
a'buckets clottering down."
the Woolworth builfding in NYC -- tallest skyscraper in the world when JJ began the WAKE
Eifel tower skyerscape > fire escape > Parnell fled down one when almost caught with Kiitty O'Shea
erigena > Scotus Eringa, irish heretic [pan-theist]
larons o'toolers > St Lawrence O'Toole, patron of Dublin, successful politically
tombles a'buckets > St Thomas a Becket, unsuccesful politically
Eriigena was not understood in his time
"which explains, perhaps, the delay in condemning him"
--Canto 35
in the light of light is the virtue
"Sunt lumina" said Erigena
--Canto 74
Light tensile immaculata
the sun's cord unspotted
"sunt lumina" said the Oirishman to King Carolus
'OMNIA
all things that are are lights"
--Canto 74  |

Making people feel stupid NOT my goal!
I've loved and studied the WAKE and the CANTOS for [73-17 = 56.....], uh 56
years. Will try to slow down info overload. Sorry!
Both Ez and Jim tried to give us a whole new world, including
wot previous Western epics had omitted [mostly Oriental
and modern science perspectives] I'll try to
give only highlights of same.  |

Our man Jim got interested in synchronicity in 1909 -- long before Jung
named it -- when he visited the grave of Nora's former lover, Mick Bodkin
and noticed that the adjoining grave said "J.Joyce" |

--IN COLD BLOOD
A
report to the UN human rights commission in Geneva has concluded that
Iraqi children were actually better off under Saddam Hussein than they
are now.
This, of course, comes as a bitter blow for all those of
us who, like George Bush and Tony Blair, honestly believe that children
thrive best when we drop bombs on them from a great height, destroy
their cities and blow up hospitals, schools and power stations.

Evenually moved on to other areas of research.

My last words to Timothy: "I've met Bucky Fuller, and i still consider you the
smartest human I've ever known. I've met Gerorge Carlin and i still consider
you the funniest human..."
Timothy: "Robert, you're an excellent judge of charcter."
He died 2 days later.  |
