crystal smooth and eerie beauty among the hyperbolic function functions murmuring and softly touching http://www.alansondheim.org/ hyper pngs (very small) http://www.alansondheim.org/foofwaandme1.png http://www.alansondheim.org/foofwaandme2.png broadcast debris penomenology [sic] of the earth in relation to vlf and crystal - how fields recreate a different mapping of the lnet, [sic] encased in skein of radiations. these mappings are always 'cleansed' - pure no matter what the ostensible content of the carriers. from a technical viewpoint it's all modulationn, all encoding. extrapoate [sic] from this back to visual perception - there's that neutrality again. buddha might have relegated suffering to the broadcast band. induction forms intimacies with the earth; crystals are the fundamental filters, assigning direction to topological space. earphones etc. are nothing more than evidence; - it's here tat [sic] the origin enters into the image - earhones [sic] establish the origin: of the perceiver, but also of he [sic] sgnal [sic] content and the beginnings of the location of the signal itself. loop and magnetism, but also loop and interruptor, [sic] the self-containment of the loop. the phenomenology of the ground - antenna system that always points [sic[ elsewhere, ties the earth and skies to their fields, extends elsewhere continuously this tends to become too mystical, too much Heidegger who might has [sic] well been describing early radio. >> the idea is to listen to the weakest part of the band, mplify [sic] until something, no matter what, is heard - the potential well falls apart here - i.e. the signal-to-noise ratio of safe information collapses. << think of coils and communities capacitors - inductors - proxiities [sic] cb radio as relic [sic] community - how does this relate to the net - cb hacking - ow [sic] does this relate to codework what ould [sic] constitute mineral or organic inductors, capacitors - was there physical circuitry before humans - class notes - changing oline [sic] communities changing media and media distributions changing roles of cable channels changing 'generations' and demographics
