not sure what to write

Filed under: adventures — alice @ 9:21 am

Seem to have got out of the habit of remembering the random stuff that goes through my head and making it bloggable. A bit like how I can never remember what I dreamed about. Although I did get woken up yesterday morning at 6.30am by a giant beeping robot called Super Maximal Supreme Omega (I think). He is an unimaginably complex model made from about six thousand other, smaller robots, in a sort of improvisatory pattern for which there are no instructions, but it follows the deep formations of the universe and mutates an infinite number of times and ways throughout the day. Cool, eh?

    Your dream provides opportunity to recommend this interesting speech by Michael Crichton:

    http://www.michaelcrichton.com/speeches/complexity/complexity.html

    in which he discusses the problems of attempting to control complex systems with linear thinking.

    Although, I may have encroached onto the wrong blog for such a recommendation. Crichton does mention children as examples of complex systems. Maybe that justifies “Rabbit Hole” status. Sort of. Almost. Or not.
