Inhering characteristics of matter, let us say substance.


Let us say substance without differentiation, by which we mean, cohering
matter, the phenomenology of the _same_ without transitivity (as in for
example Irigaray). One is always lost in the same. At the limit, one might
consider the same a manifold without geodesics, striations, closed upon
itself, windowless, sightless, catatonic. But this is only a limit, never
found, incapable of seeing or being-seen; it is the limit of death, the
maw that absorbs us all. Now to open it up a bit:

"RECAPITULATION. -- The common or essential properties of bodies are, Im-
penetrability, Extension, Figure, Divisibility, Inertia, and Attraction.
Attraction is of several kinds, viz. attraction of Cohesion, attraction
of Gravitation, Capillary attraction, Chemical attraction, Magnetic
attraction, and Electrical attraction.

The peculiar properties of bodies are, Density, Rarity, Hardness, Elastic-
ity, Brittleness, Malleability, Ductility, and Tenacity."

(J L Comstock, A System of Natural Philosophy, 1854 and earlier.)

Electrical attraction is of one or two kinds, positive or negative, aus-
tral or boreal. It is an inhering fluid which gathers, puckers, expends.

Shape comes: "FIGURE OR FORM _is the result of extension, for we can not
conceive that a body has length and breadth, without its also having some
kind of figure, however irregular._" Fractals come: "Some solids are so
irregular, that they cannot be compared with any mathematical figure. This
is the case with the fragments of a broken rock, chips of wood, fractured
glass, &c.; these are called _amorphous._" Inversion comes: "A single
grain of musk will scent a room for years, and still lose no appreciable
part of its weight. Here, the particles of musk must be floating in the
air of every part of the room; otherwise they could not be every where
perceived."

What parts of the whole subtend figure, location, differentiation from the
other?

Attraction might be said to construct the other, the other's construction
of the self, both and neither, imaginary, chimera. Gravitational attrac-
tion is like to like; magnetic and electrical like to anti-like, but of
the otherwise same; capillary, specific like to specific other, of which
both adhere to their essential characters; chemical, unary or mutual
transformation of specific like to specific other; and cohesion, like to
like or like to specific other.

The peculiar properties inhere. "RARITY. -- This is the quality opposite
to density, and means that the substance to which it is applied is porous,
and light. Thus air, water, and ether, are rare substances, while gold,
lead, and platina, are dense bodies." Today this is in fact density, and a
peculiar property in general might be considered that which is related to
the atomic or molecular constitution of matter, or rather the particle
constitution of matter, hence for example the neutron star, or rather the
constituating configuration of matter, hence for example the black hole,
or rather nearly decomposable phenomena, hence possibly dark matter or
strings, or whatever preserves at least the very weakest of phenomenologi-
cal structures in the true world and its descriptive messay/anysign.

From William Peck's Introductory Course of Natural Philosophy for the Use
of Schools and Academies, edited from Ganot's Popular Physics, 1873:

"Physics is that branch of Natural Philosophy which treats of the general
properties of bodies, and of the causes that modify these properties.

The principle causes that modify the properties of bodies are: _Gravita-
tion, Heat, Light, Magnetism,_ and _Electricity._ These causes are called
_Physical Agents._"

There are solid and fluid bodies. Bodies have mass and density. The gener-
al properties of bodies include Magnitude, Form, Impenetrability, Inertia,
Porosity, Divisibility, Compressibility, Dilatability, and Elasticity. Be-
yond Gravity, there are molecular forces which include Cohesion, Adhesion,
Capillary Forces, Absorption, Imbibition ("the absorption of a liquid by a
solid body"), Tenacity, Hardness, Ductility, and Malleability.

The book, "Peck's Ganot," is based on Ganot's elementary version of his
Traite Elementaire de Physique; I have the 3rd 1854 edition. Here, physi-
cal agents are as follows: "l'attraction universelle, le calorique, la
lumiere, le magnetisme et l'electricite." Under general properties of
bodies: "l'impenetrabilite, l'etendue, la divisibilite, la porosite, la
compressibilite, l'elasticite, la mobilite, et l'inertie." Particular
properties are those observed in certain bodies or certain states of bod-
ies, such as solidity, fluidity, tenacity, ductility, malleability, hard-
ness, transparency, and coloration; there is density, weight, various
forms of elasticity, etc.

Heat, steam, hydraulics, magnetism, electricity, fluids, gas: the world is
in flux, numerous solids are porous, some transparent to magnetism, x-rays
and other out of directly perceivable bandwidth radiations and receptors -
all challenge the muteness of amphiboles, some absorb others, some gener-
ate others, some construct others as problematic, some are coherent, some
inhere, some leak into Freud's hydraulic model, some are id-messy or
libido-messy.

As I have pointed out, electrical fluid inhabits the spherical; the point,
punctum, drains it. Harboring matter is puckered, withdrawn. The fluid
seeps off in due time. It can be gathered in leyden jars, spewed from
voltaic piles (dynamic or galvanic electricity), generated from machines
(Wimhurst, von Guericke, etc.) with glass disks or cylinders or small
furnaces and stem or cat fur, pith, resin, tin foil (see the electrophor-
ous). It is social, the subject of "electrical recreations" led by men for
young women holding hands, sparking one another, hair stood on end, short-
circuiting jars and condensers. It's the men who electrocute dogs and
birds, test the apparatus against the limits of life and death. It's the
pith-man and pith-woman who jump up and down in funny embrace in a small
electrostatic entertainment. It's the woman who demonstrates the magnetic
swan to a small boy.

There's ectoplasm, outside the ken of these books, these models, as are
all sorts of spirits. Still, Peck/Ganot states right at the beginning:
"The Universe may be regarded as made up of _mind_ and _matter._ MIND is
that which thinks and wills; MATTER is that of which we become cognizant
through the medium of the senses. Science admits of two corresponding
divisions, _Science of Mind,_ or METAPHYSICS, and _Science of Matter,_ or
NATURAL PHILOSOPHY."

Three simple points from all of this: Much coheres, inheres, to matter;
some of what coheres or inheres is in problematic relation with an other
(general or specific); and much of these relatively early dialogs empha-
size a simplicity of fluidic substance and magnetic/electromagnetic
experimentation. While the science and technical characterization of the
world is clearly outmoded, the _phenomenology_ emphasizing a blurring of
static and dynamic, force and presence, circuit and stasis, state and
operator, and self and other, is rather sophisticated and uncannily
resonates with the messy and problematic distinctions among analogic and
digital/discrete domains, emanent and organic life, and real and virtual
as well as sign and anysign, all within the true world. We can't stop now;
we're just beginning to understand that the question isn't how many angels
are dancing on the head of a pin - the question is, how many angels are in
it.

Legacy: Spain and the United States in the Age of Independence 1763-1848
[Macromedia Flash Player]

http://latino.si.edu/SpainLegacy/Archive/index.html

During the eighty-five year period after the 1763 Treaty of Paris, Great
Britain, Spain, France, Native Americans, and the young American republic
engaged in a number of conflicts, alliances, and battles on the North
American continent. Drawing on primary source materials from the
Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery and numerous other organizations,
this delightful exhibit looks at the crucial Spanish contributions to the
American cause during the Revolutionary War and the presence and
influence of Hispanic culture in Florida, Louisiana, California, and the
Southwest. Visitors can begin their exploration through the site by
clicking through the five primary sections, which include "War of
Independence" and "Spain in the American Imagination". Upon arriving at
each section, visitors will be presented with an interactive "wall" of
portraits, maps, treaties, and other items of historical ephemera.
Additionally, the site also includes an interactive catalogue and a map.
Needless to say, the site's materials are also available in Spanish.

Rhetoric for Engineers

http://www.tcnj.edu/~rgraham/rhetoric/

As a field of study, rhetoric has enjoyed a popular resurgence in at the
college level, and when deployed effectively, various rhetorical devices
can make any piece of writing much more compelling. Ron Graham has
created this site designed to help engineers and "other practical people"
with the practice and art of rhetoric. The site includes a summary of
basic rhetoric, along with some "Two-Minute Drills", which are designed
to help engineers with developing answers to questions like "Are
engineers made or born?" and "Define 'reliability'". Visitors can also

The Road Not Traveled: Education Reform in the Middle East and North
Africa [pdf]

http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTMENA/Resources/EDU_Flagship_Full_ENG.pdf

The World Bank has long been interested in looking at education
throughout the world, and this recent report pays close attention to
education systems across the Middle East and North Africa. The report was
released in February 2008, and offers a comprehensive economic analysis
of the impact of education investments in the region. The report notes
that while most of the countries in this region have made great strides
in recent decades, they will need to place a premium on so-called "soft
skills" (such as problem solving) in order to compete in a global
economy. Additionally, the report recommends that policy-makers should
use incentives, public accountability, curriculum and labor market
reforms in order to make the region's economies more dynamic. [KMG]

Art and Literature in Siena, 1250-1600 [Windows Media Player]

http://www.leeds.ac.uk/italian/research/sienalecturesvideo.htm

Located in the hills of Tuscany, the city of Siena was a buzzing hive of
cultural activity from the 13th to 16th century. At the heart of the city
was the University of Siena, founded in 1203, and scholars and others
flocked to hear lectures on law and medicine. Of course, the city also
had its famed Duomo, which is one of the premier examples of Italian
Romanesque architecture. Recently, the University of Leeds placed four
lectures online that deal with the art and literature of Siena, and
visitors will be delighted to listen to them as they see fit. They
include "The City as a Work of Art: Making and Meaning in the Italian
Renaissance", "Duccio and the Flowering of Sienese Art", "Theater in
Renaissance Siena", and "Art, Power and Patronage in Renaissance Siena".

Johnson's Island, Unlocking a Civil War Prison: Interactive Dig

http://www.archaeology.org/interactive/johnsons/index.html

Johnson's Island in Ohio is arguably the state's best known Civil War
landmark. In 1861, the U.S. Army leased 40 cleared acres of the island in
order to create a prisoner of war depot. The depot was in operation from
1862 to 1865, when the site began new life as an agricultural station.
Recently, David Bush and some of his archaeology colleagues began an
excavation on the site in order to locate the barracks that once housed
Confederate POWs. This site, offered by Archaeology Magazine, allows
users to journey along as the team performs their work. Visitors can look
over the field reports filed by the team, read an interview with David
Bush, and also read letters and diary notes from the original prisoners
and their guards. [KMG]

Rose and Chess: Discover Two Reunited Medieval Manuscripts

http://roseandchess.lib.uchicago.edu/index.html

Bringing together medieval manuscripts is always a good thing, and
recently the University of Chicago brought two fascinating volumes back
together. The first is a courtly romance (Le Roman de la Rose) and the
other is a treatise on medieval society that uses the game of chess as
its framework (Le Jeu des �checs moralis�). The two volumes were bound
together, perhaps soon after they were created (ca. 1365), and stayed
together for over 500 years. In 1907, they were divided into two volumes
and sent their separate ways. By bringing them back together, The
University of Chicago Library hopes to make it possible for scholars to
study the two manuscripts together to learn about their shared origin and
production history. Visitors to the site can view each manuscript in its
entirety, and they can also look over a brief essay which gives a bit of
context about their history. Additionally, visitors should not miss the
piece titled "A Tale of Two Manuscripts Reunited", which offers some
background on how the two manuscripts were brought back together in one
place. [KMG]

Ivory-billed woodpecker [pdf]
http://www.fws.gov/ivorybill/

Big Woods Conservation Partnership
http://www.ivorybill.org/

Three years ago, a bird scientist claimed to have seen an ivory-billed
woodpecker in Arkansas. It was an unusual sighting, mostly because the
bird was supposedly extinct, and had been so since the 1940s. The alleged
sighting set off a flurry of activity among ornithologists, and even
those with little interest in bird watching became interested. The quest
for this rare bird continues, as a team of researchers from Cornell
University was recently dispatched to the White River National Wildlife
Refuge in Arkansas to continue the search. To look for the bird, they
have brought along tools like GPS coordinate monitors, automatic cameras,
infrared flash strobes, and sensitive audio recorders. Of course, there
are some in the birding community who remain convinced that there are no
ivory-billed woodpeckers left at all. There are a number of believers
however, and groups like the Nature Conservancy, the Audubon Society, and
even NASA have provided support and technical assistance. Even noted
biologist E. O. Wilson has chimed in on the subject, noting that while
the bird may be gone forever, "Great science discoveries have come from
longer odds." [KMG]

The first link leads to a fine piece from this Sunday's Boston Globe
which reports on the quest to locate the ivory-billed woodpecker. The
second link leads to a chat with author Phillip Hoose, who wrote a book
about the ivory-billed woodpecker. Moving on, the third link leads to the
homepage for the research expedition sponsored by the Cornell Lab of
Ornithology. Here, visitors can learn more about the expedition and read
dispatches from the field. The fourth link will take visitors to a
drawing of the ivory-billed woodpecker by noted naturalist John James
Audubon. The fifth link will lead visitors to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife
Service's site dedicated to the ivory-billed woodpecker. Here visitors
can read a draft recovery plan and also learn more about the bird. The
last link will take visitors to the homepage of the Big Woods
