Geometric Mapping and National Landmarks
Geometric Mapping and National Landmarks

disaster plans include cloned icons: An older article, but still
an interesting look at the science of geometric mapping and
how it's being used to ensure we can rebuild historical structures if
they're destroyed.
The bottom line: Should disaster strike, and a political decision
be made to rebuild, exact replicas — or architectural clones
— could be constructed fairly quickly. How do you replicate the
225-ton, 305-foot Lady Liberty? The 288-foot Capitol dome? The 60-foot
busts of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Roosevelt?
Deploying high-powered, laser-scanning technology to record the
landmarks from every angle, the feds have been creating
three-dimensional digital models of their complex exterior features.
They also have scanned part of the ornate interior of the Capitol.

try to live off it. Probably start another war, wouldn't be surprised,
next year. Probably in Iran, said Jeffords, echoing

Theory of Computing (ToC) is a new Open Access online
journal dedicated to the widest dissemination, free of charge, of high
quality research papers in all areas of Theoretical Computer Science.
The journal will not differ from the best existing publications in its
commitment to and method of peer review to ensure the highest quality.
The scientific content of ToC is guaranteed by a world-class editorial
board. Following the model of the highly successful Electronic Journal
of Combinatorics, ToC is an all-volunteer operation. The key
difference between ToC and existing publications (paper as well as

Theory of Synchronicity
Theory of Synchronicity
06/09/2004 05:53 AMRichard just kind of goes off.....
A Theory
of Synchronicity for the Web.
In my previous post, Stasis and
Synchronicity, I scratched the surface of something that's been
bothering me recently. I've been sensing a degree of stasis in the
blogging world, not to mention in my own life (and given what I wrote
12 days ago about weblogs being
avatars, perhaps the two are intermingled). I finished my previous
post with a rhyming play-on-words: I swapped 'MTV' for 'synchronicity'
in the famous Dire Straits tune Money for
Nothing. That came straight from my subconscious - and at the time
I didn't fully know what it meant. Which for me is an invitation to
explore...
Meaning and Interconnectedness
Synchronicity is a term made famous by the psychiatrist Carl Jung. He defined synchronicity as an "occurrence of a
meaningful coincidence in time". Further, it as "an acausal
connecting principle". Which is to say that a connection occurs
through the sharing of a common meaning, not because one event caused
the other. Jung went so far as to boldly state that "synchronicity could thus be
added as a fourth principle to the triad of space, time, and
causality".
Synchronicity has come to mean a variety of things. Laurence Boldt
claims that synchronicity reflects the "underlying
interconnectedness of all things within the Universe" [my
emphasis]. An attractive theory for those of us addicted to Web
culture! Stephen
J. Davis states that synchronicity is "a very personal and
subjective observation of this inter-connected universe of which we
are but a small part". Another keyword that pops up in writings about
synchronicity is "flow" - which of course reminds me of the Web's Information
Flow. When used to describe synchronicity, it's all about the
"flow of life". For example, this
quote:
"When we are in the flow we experience more synchronous
events, more pleasure and less pain. The flow of coincidences is our
path to higher ground."
Synchronicity for Bloggers
What I was trying to express in my previous post was that sometimes
we become too insular, too caught up in our routines. Specifically in
the blogging world we get stuck inside the confines of our RSS
Aggregators and we miss out on the synchronicity in other parts of the
Web - and indeed in other forms of Art. Synchronicity to me means
looking for meaningful coincidences in multimedia, literature, music,
art, heck even television. So in this sense synchronicity means to go
outside the blog world and explore other worlds. The greater your
exposure to different ideas, the more likely you are to formulate
new ideas.
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Glassd
og ;-)
In my travels on this topic, I came across this comment
which nicely complements my point:
"If you look for it, you will start to see parallels in
all kinds of things -- religion, physics, art, philosophy, psychology,
music, etc.. There is a pattern to it all - the synchronicity. Once
you notice the parallels, you might apply what you know about one
thing to another and have a New Idea (or just enjoy the moment to a
greater extent)."
And Serendipity too
There's a similar concept to synchronicity that has done the rounds
of the blogosphere before: serendipit
y, or "making fortunate discoveries by accident". The day after I
published my previous post, Stasis and
Synchronicity, I came across some old weblog posts on the topic of
serendipity. Anil
Dash linked to an old
Six Apart post from December 2002, which in turned linked back to
a bunch of posts from early 2002 - from old school bloggers Jon
Udell, Sam Ruby, Anil Dash
(again), and Rebecca
Blood. Their theme was that blogging is "changing the way we look
for information", in the words of Mena Trott. Rebecca Blood called it
"pointing readers to things that they didn't know they wanted to
see".
And it's hard to argue against that - I've learned a lot of things
I'd never have discovered if it weren't for weblogs. By subscribing to
smart people, like the ones on my blogroll, I make serendipitous
discoveries nearly every day through the stories they write and the
things they link to. But I need more. As I mentioned above, the blog
world sometimes can be too insular and so stasis sets in. To get back
the synchronicity, I want to explore outside...
Stay Tuned!
I'm going to try and eat my own dogfood on this over the next month
or so, by delving into things outside the blogging world. Particularly
literature, which is my drug of choice. But also multimedia, music and
other art forms. In fact, thinking about synchronicity so much over
the last week has led me to come up with some themes that would be
best explored in a novel. Hmmm, now there's an idea.

tp://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~sanders/graphtheory/harary.htmlGraph theory is widely used in computer science, engineering
and of course, mathematics. Wikipedia offers this definition and
overview of Graph Theory (1). This next website from Mega-Math (2)
reviews some of the Vocabulary of Graphs and highlights some
applications for graph theory, such as the design of computer systems
and games. Some additional applications for Graph Theory are discussed
in this more technical book called Graph Theory with Applications (3).
This website from Georgia Tech (4) discusses a proof that allows a
user to create a map of the U.S. using just four colors. For a more
involved explanation of Graph Theory, see this Graph Theory book by
Reinhard Diestel (5). On this next website (6), Christopher P. Mawata
of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga offers a collection of
Graph Theory Lessons for educators. The final website provides a short
biography of a key figure in Graph Theory who recently passed away,

"A theory that can't predict anything is not a scientific
theory," Woit says. That would be string theory, which was going
to be the theory of everything, but apparently can't even agree how
many dimensions there are. "Those who dabble in
alternate-universe speculations might be just modern versions of '16th
century theologians (who) speculated that spirits and angels emerge
from the extra-dimensional universe,' says
Krauss, who is also an outspoken foe of creationist teaching in
schools."

Cyber Terrorism Is Just A Theory
Cyber Terrorism Is Just A Theory
11/11/2003 05:50 AMFor years, when many folks were predicting the imminent end of
civilization due to cyber-terrorism, there were plenty of others who
believed the actual risks associated with cyber terrorism are very
low, compared to other threats that are out there. That's not to say
it couldn't cause hassles - but the predictions of all out destruction
seemed to go a bit far. Now Gartner has gotten into the game and is
saying that
cyber terrorism is much more of a theory than
reality. Basically, though, they're saying that no one has
initiated any online attacks
with terror as their motive. They
admit that other attacks have caused real damage - but with a
different motive. In other words, they're making it all a big
semantic debate, rather than a substantive one. However, the end
result is still the same: you should try to make sure your own systems
are secure, but don't freak out every time someone mentions "cyber
terrorism".
