i

when the moon's alone
it doesn't cast a shadow
there's no place for shadow
no place to rest

the memory of a shadow
it keeps on moving
it's looking for a home
it's fleeing from the light

ii

when the moon's alone
it doesn't bathe in light
there's no place in light
no place to travel

the memory of light
it keeps on moving
it's searching for a home
it's fleeing to the source

Thursday, Thanksgiving, is Azure's birthday - if you have a chance, could
you send her a birthday greet at Azurcarter@aol.com ? She'd appreciate it
- we're fairly isolated down here, and if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be
doing as well as I am - which is going a long way -

Thanks!

love, Alan

Azure!
You are three decades younger than me.

Three decades from now.
I will most likely be dead.

You will get up in the morning.
You will get up in the morning.

You will look out the window.

What will you see?
What will you see?
What will you see?

Looks like we're okay - this is the letter I've received. But just in
case, don't rescind your offers!

love, Alan

Subject: Important info regarding your CYBERMIND list!

Dear List Owner,

I apologize for the confusion over the recent letter. It was intended
to notify everyone that the lists will be audited due to a very
high number of dead lists and oversized archives. I have found many active
lists that haven't been used in years, and they continue to take up
everyones resources and disk space. I simply need to know who exists and who
doesn't. My main purpose of the email was to receive bounces on lists so I
may remove them. I am not going to shut down anyone's list or REQUIRE that
anyone move over to groups@aol. I was simply suggesting a move because of
the features and support, we are dedicated to providing the best product and
support to every AOL user. Due to security reasons, we are not able to offer
full support to "give back" listserv users, but groups@aol could. If
everyone wants to remain on listserv.aol.com they can, but the archives will
be trimmed down to one year unless I read otherwise in an email to
listmgr@aol.net or postmaster@aol.net. The archives will not be trimmed until
Jan. 2002.

Thank you for your cooperation!

musing sheffer stroke and its dual thinking of nicod:


(())(())

* = intersection = (()) v ))((
u = union = ()() v )()( v )(() v ())(
a = ( v ((((
b = ) v ))))
-a = (( v (( (( (( ((
I = ( (( ( ((
0 = ( ( (( ((
* & 0 reduce equally; u & I reduce equally; a & b reduce equally;
a & -a reduce equally. think of neutrality, aphanisis, substance;
think of defuge.
pattern i = (a, -a, 0, I); pattern ii = (a, b, u, *)
the absolute ground: (())(())
( (( v ) )) = implication/non-implication, tautology/contradiction
"Since nothing in the environment corresponds to negation, negation as
well as all other 'logical particles' (inclusion, alternation,
implication, etc.) must arise within the organism as a consequence of
perceiving the relation of itself with respect to the environment."
(Heinz von Foerster, Thoughts and Notes on Cognition)
Neither, neitherness, exclusionary union, tend elsewhere, Spencer Brown
notwithstanding - but then elsewhere implies the presence of border,
maintenance, inscription in the first place.
(Culled from Structure of Reality, 1977.)
