Andrew’s posterous

love your work

Thanks so much Bashi!

I approach this work like a cat approaches a new item in its habitat. I look, this sniffs like somthing new, I ponder, look again. You gave this cat something fascinating, thank you!

I love operators. You might put something on the left, something on the right - and the operator creates a relationship. Your pictures make me think of the 3rd dimension. Could there be a "in front of/ behind" with these operators, too? Would that be the same relation as the 2 dimensional one - just one dimension more? Or would that be a completely new quality?

Can there be quality to numbers? Hmm. The cat keeps sniffing ...

@detlef_c Thank you Detlef ~ always so perceptive :) ~ There are some who say that numbers are a family...a race ~ as we humans are a human race. Can we befriend them, as they befriend us (without judgement)?

a nice work numbers and art painting by numbers.....I am twiterless at the mo.

@artythings Thank you Chris! Try Safari ~ worked for me :)

en+light-en_d "thoughts" in a symbol+ic world~ Congratulations on the "birth" of a new creation:)

@lizbeth33 I see you are an Einstein in disguise Liz :) Thank you! x

What of life and numbers? As in life, it matters not the equation, but such as it is, numbers define or confine...but is the mind > numbers = thoughts? In numbers equation +, -, = ; In words ?, !, &; Perhaps it is all symbols combined that makes mind & numbers = thoughts.

Andrew I am never left *unamazed* by you! Thank you for creating this *wonder*land! Hugs!

Friendship between the human race and the race of numbers? The category "friendship" doesn't fit into the scientific paradigm any more. The old Greeks still had a place for Eros - perhaps that would be the 3rd dimension extending the yes/ no - right/ wrong - subjective/ objective ?

Hmm. The cat keeps sniffing ...

But perhaps my thoughts are getting in the way of looking at the picture, which is up there, above the comments. Scroll, scroll...

@Detlef_c I love your thoughts ~ they make me think! Don't know Eros too well, but yes, maybe he was in that place where 'yes and no' was yes, or lack of yes.

I LOVE this piece!!! I am curious.. when U paint do you think at all? Or do you just let it flow? Why approximate? Something to do with no absolute rules?

@kchall Thank you! Sometimes there is a thought before starting ....sometimes after starting....sometimes just before the end. This one came halfway through :)

@kchall Approximate ~ Can you show me something in the physical world that is not changing?

Of course not! Everything changes and that's the only thing that doesn't change. There's a diffeence between approximate and that concept.

@kchall Can you describe the difference between approximate and the concept of change to the non physicist?

@detlef_c Appoximate is "almost equal" but not equal. Concept of Change: EVERYTHING changes and THAT's the TRUTH! I haven't figured out Drew's (Is that an OK name for you Andrew?) way of tying them together?

down the mask, cratylus!

@kchall The concept of 'equal' can only exist in the mind ~ once it leaves the mind, it is an approximation.

@aimapeintar Haha! You would have me pointing with my finger! :)) I had to investigate ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cratylus

@HennArtonline Thanks Henie x ~ '...life and numbers....' ~ From early days we are taught the 'meaning' of things...and these 'accepted' meanings, shape our thoughts...our life. To question the meaning is often unpopular, since it tends to wobble things. But that is always necessary, when turning a belief into a knowing.

In space that's infinite that's hard to believe :o)

what is hard to believe? :) > concept of 'equal' only exists in mind. For all we know there maybe parallel Universes.

nothing is exact. everything is close. that's the beauty of diversity. kick ass piece! it is = to none.

OK. No two people are "eaqual" no two soup cans are "equal".I agree. Everithing boils down to quarks and leptons though (At least for now). Who's to say there are no two electrons alike: same momentum at the same time. Even with the uncertainty priciple for an instance of time they can be equal. Two different electrons exactly equal in every aspect other than they are not the same. It's true you never can observe them. observing them will alter their states, but who is to say they don't exists?.

@kchall ----
The heart of the matter is that, if there is no process of analysis, creation of law, definition .. all of those things that require the use of the mind to observe and analyse...

"does the tree falling in the forest make a sound"

the answer to this is, of course... only if someone is there to hear it and uses observation, discrimination... etc etc etc... to discriminate, divide, analyse ..

all of which require different centres of feeling which create different effects on the observer .. even to the point of the fear which says... "Thank God I was not under that tree when it fell"

Brain fried today :o( Will have to chew on this one for a while. Thanks though.

Let's replace approximate with nearness. One only needs to be near enough to know a tree has fallen. Let's also replace equality with mediocrity....

Had some time to think...OK equal things cannont be observed with the 5 senses we've got: touch, sound, smell, sight and taste. So if they do exist they exist in the mind. But "Mind" rules above all though (at least for me)... So approximate it is for mindless :o) still not for me.

Then again like Micalanne says "One only needs to be near enough to know a tree has fallen"~ so what the heck :o)
