# poe: an anonymous short "stressed poetry", already in use in the 2nd Century CE, resonates like the rhythms of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode"

<< they say what they like; let them say it; I don't care. >>️

This << little-known text written in ancient Greek shows that "stressed poetry," the ancestor of all modern poetry and song, was already in use in the 2nd Century CE, 300 years earlier than previously thought. >>

<< The experimental verse became popular across the eastern Roman Empire and survives because, as well as presumably being shared orally, it has been found inscribed on twenty gemstones and as a graffito in Cartagena, Spain. >>️

<< the poem used a different form of meter to that usually found in ancient Greek poetry. As well as showing signs of the long and short syllables characteristic of traditional "quantitative" verse, this text employed stressed and unstressed syllables. Until now, "stressed poetry" of this kind has been unknown before the fifth century, when it began to be used in Byzantine Christian hymns. >>️

<< You didn't need specialist poets to create this kind of musicalized language, and the diction is very simple, so this was a clearly a democratizing form of literature. We're getting an exciting glimpse of a form of oral pop culture that lay under the surface of classical culture. >> Tim Whitmarsh. ️

<< this poem could represent a "missing link" between the lost world of ancient Mediterranean oral poetry and song, and the more modern forms that we know today. >>

# s-gene: extensive, quantitative perturbation approach to trace "the poetry" of gene regulatory networks

# gst: immediate 'shot', the three second time window in art, music, poems and language processing

<< Is there a universal time constant for poetic lines when people read them aloud or recite them by heart? Turner and Pöppel (1988) collected over 20 types of poetry, varying from East to West and from modern societies to indigenous cultures, and found a constant of ~3 s for the duration of poetic lines. >>️

<< This observation indicates a production– perception synchrony of ~3 s, which means that we not only tend to recite poems  (and speech in a more general sense; discussed later) with a 3-s pattern but also appreciate poems aesthetically within the same temporal frame. This temporal preference for a 3-s pattern and not a 1-s or a 10-s pattern, which linguistically would be possible, indicates presumably a profound evolutionary basis. The temporal modulation effect of the 3-s window on aesthetic appreciation may also motivate to look for other concepts and phenomena of the cognitive and neural basis of aesthetic perception in general and in detail, as has been partly already done for decision processes, the visual arts, and music (Avram et al., 2013; Bao et al., 2016; Bao et al., 2017; Park et al., 2014; Park et al., 2015; Pöppel, 1989a). >>

# gst: when science meets poetry, an image of three-dimensional stepped cracks (bistability, and their transition to simple cracks)


<< Slow cracks may be simple, with no internal structure. The leading edge of a simple crack, the crack front, forms a single fracture plane in its wake. Slow cracks may also develop segmented crack fronts, each segment propagating along a separate fracture plane. These planes merge at locations that form steps along fracture surfaces. Steps are not stationary, but instead propagate within a crack front. Real-time measurements of crack front structure and energy flux reveal that step dynamics significantly increase energy dissipation and drastically alter crack dynamics. Simple and stepped cracks are each stable. By extending the use of energy balance to include 3D crack front structure, (AA) find that, while energy balance is obeyed, it is insufficient to select the energetically favorable crack growth mode. Transitions from stepped cracks to simple cracks occur only when their in-plane front lengths become equal and a perturbation momentarily changes step topology. Such 3D crack dynamics challenge our traditional understanding of fracture. >>

# life: apropos of fuzzy cooperation, Ralph fuzzy mixture vs. world fuzzy dance ...

<< In 2013, the American virologist Ralph Baric approached Zhengli Shi at a meeting. Baric was a top expert in coronaviruses, with hundreds of papers to his credit, and Shi, along with her team at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, had been discovering them by the fistful in bat caves. In one sample of bat guano, Shi had detected the genome of a new virus, called SHC014, that was one of the two closest relatives to the original SARS virus, but her team had not been able to culture it in the lab. >>️

<< Baric had developed a way around that problem—a technique for “reverse genetics” in coronaviruses. Not only did it allow him to bring an actual virus to life from its genetic code, but he could mix and match parts of multiple viruses. He wanted to take the “spike” gene from SHC014 and move it into a genetic copy of the SARS virus he already had in his lab. The spike molecule is what lets a coronavirus open a cell and get inside it. The resulting chimera would demonstrate whether the spike of SHC014 would attach to human cells. >>️

<< Just as when you trade in part of a poker hand for fresh cards, there was no way of knowing whether the final chimeras would be stronger or weaker. >>

<< If you study a hundred different bat viruses, your luck may run out. >> Ralph Baric. 

<< In 2014, the NIH awarded a five-year, $3.75 million grant to EcoHealth Alliance to study the risk that more bat-borne coronaviruses would emerge in China, using the same kind of techniques Baric had pioneered. Some of that work was to be subcontracted to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. >>

<< Consider this hypothetical scenario, (..) An important gain-of-function experiment involving a virus with serious pandemic potential is performed in a well-regulated, world-class laboratory by experienced investigators, but the information from the experiment is then used by another scientist who does not have the same training and facilities and is not subject to the same regulations. In an unlikely but conceivable turn of events, what if that scientist becomes infected with the virus, which leads to an outbreak and ultimately triggers a pandemic >>  Anthony Fauci (director of the NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) (2012).
<< Paul’s grilling of Fauci brought new scrutiny to the relationship between Ralph Baric’s lab at UNC and Zhengli Shi’s at WIV, with some narratives painting Baric as the Sith master of SARS and Shi as his ascendant apprentice. They did share resources—for example, Baric sent the transgenic mice with human lung receptors to Wuhan.  >>
<< During a hearing on May 11, 2021, Senator Rand Paul confronted Anthony Fauci over funding of bat-virus research by the National Institutes of Health. >>️

<< The NIH has still not fully explained its decision-making and did not reply to questions. Citing a pending investigation, it has declined to release copies of the grant that sent the Wuhan institute about $600,000 between 2014 and 2019. It has also revealed little about its new system for assessing gain-of-function risks, which is carried out by an anonymous review panel whose deliberations are not made public. >>️

# life: a proposito di bizzarri scenari, qui un ipotetico scenario22 dipinto dal reale ...

img: Congo Square, New Orleans, Louisiana (wikipedia.org)

In definitiva qui si configurerebbe un - intrigante assai - scenario che, grosso modo, si potrebbe sinteticamente 'dipingere' in questi termini: 

(i) entità tre palle destrogire, animate aciclicamente da interazioni attrattive- repulsive a causa di già a suo tempo disvelate pulsioni neuro cognitive arcaiche, riconducibili a visioni neuro predatorie CTZ estreme, perciò ipoteticamente (si fa per dire) a-priori ad esiti immediati e in prospettiva drammaticamente lesivi- autolesivi; 

(ii) entità tre palle levogire, animate da analoghe pulsività, purtuttavia in.forme  tenui, in modalità sottotraccia, frenate da feed-back a modalità allosterica, ombreggiate, stemperate, diluite, discrete, timidamente celate, talvolta fantasmatiche perfino, quasi ma non del tutto mai silenti, perciò anch'esse a tutti gli effetti operative, sebbene a dinamiche più fluide, lente, meno dirompenti rispetto alle destrogire; 

(iii) entrambe l'Entità destrogire e levogire animat(t)rici,  generat(t)rici di dinamiche bi-multi-forcate, transeunti, con picchi di improvvisi aciclici burst ad effetti RAG-time diretti e inversi;

(iv) lo scenario al contorno e forse anche all'interno, nei vari specifici contesti, riconducibile grosso modo alla formazione aciclica di ipotetici buchi neri non inerti, caratterizzati da aciclicità in compressione e dilatazione - come fossero fisarmoniche - animati (in perpetuo?) da multi vortici in ingresso e in uscita;

Non so se basti compulsare un manuale delle funzioni speciali per formalizzare in qualche adatto topo-modo questo pulsatile multi scenario, purtuttavia assolutamente intrigante ... 

Qui una AI operativa nella formalizzazione di analogie potrebbe modellizzare, forse ... (e.g. https://flashontrack.blogspot.com/2021/08/aibot-mechanism-of-analogy-could-be.html )

Quello che appare evidente è la complessità d'insieme, un bizzarro dipinto, uno scenario dinamico che, al confronto, le storiche danze in Congo Square potrebbero sembrare semplici, ordinate coreografie ... queste, rispetto a quelle, delle topo-forme  'primitive', per dire ed anzicheforse.

# brain: jazzy perceptions inside, there’s more to all the noise; even in the dark, neurons of the visual cortex chat

<< Scientists are now rethinking how they study and conceive of perception. >>

<< At every moment, neurons whisper, shout, sputter and sing, filling the brain with a dizzying cacophony of voices. Yet many of those voices don’t seem to be saying anything meaningful at all. They register as habitual echoes of noise, not signal; as static, not discourse. >>️

<< But over the past decade, that view has changed. (..) There’s more to all the noise, scientists realized, than they had assumed. >>️

<< Now, by analyzing both the neural activity and the behavior of mice in unprecedented detail, researchers have revealed a surprising explanation for much of that variability: Throughout the brain, even in low-level sensory areas like the visual cortex, neurons encode information about far more than their immediately relevant task. They also babble about whatever other behaviors the animal happens to be engaging in, even trivial ones — the twitch of a whisker, the flick of a hind leg. Those simple gestures aren’t just present in the neural activity. They dominate it. >>️

<< Our brains aren’t just thinking in our heads. Our brains are interacting with our bodies and the way that we move through the world. >> Cris Niell. 

<< Wait — maybe the brain isn’t noisy. Maybe it’s actually much more precise than we thought, >> David McCormick️.️

# gst: influence of disorder on the spreading and entanglement properties of coined quantum walks.


AA << investigate the influence of disorder on the spreading and entanglement properties of coined quantum walks. Specifically, (AA) consider quantum walks on the line and explore the effects of quenched disorder in the coin operations. (They) find that coin disorder alters the usual ballistic transport properties of coined quantum walks considerably and yields an extremely slow dynamics with strong evidence for localization behavior. (They) investigate this slow dynamics by comparing different properties of the walker occupation probability with the standard Hadamard walk. (They) find that the walker distribution, and a number of properties associated with it, are significantly altered by the coin disorder. Special focus is given to the influence of coin disorder on entanglement properties. (AA) observe that generically, coin disorder decreases the coin-walker entanglement. The behavior of the entanglement properties further supports the premise that coin disorder induces localization in coined quantum walks. >>

# gst: apropos of transitions among granular entities, the behavior of silicone-coated sand mixtures (the 'magic sand')

<< Sand is a fascinating material. It can flow and be poured like a liquid, but retains many of the properties of solids, clogging pipes or forming sand dunes. (..) Grains interact via simple, Newtonian mechanics, but because so many particles are interacting at once, there is an emergent complexity of flow behavior that cannot yet be explained by simple equations. Scientists are thus not only looking for better theoretical models to explain granular behavior, but convenient "model systems" that can be handled and tuned in the lab to give insights into how the microscopic structure of granular materials gives rise to their macroscopic properties. >>️️

<< A team (..) has studied the properties of mixtures of silicone-coated "magic sand," a popular kids' toy, and normal sand. Silicone-coated sand particles were found to interact only with each other and not with other sand particles. The team discovered that adding silicone-coated sand beyond a certain threshold leads to an abrupt change in clustering and rigidity, a potential way to tune the flow of granular materials for industry.>>️

<< Using three independent methods involving sieving, measuring density and forming stable mounds of sand, they found that the mechanical properties of the mixture changes drastically when the fraction of magic sand to normal sand exceeds 20%. This agreed with findings from percolation theory, which governs how connections between particles span space without any breakages, letting the sand mixture behave in a significantly more solid-like way and bear its own weight. This behavior is known for polymer gels, and helps unify theoretical approaches applied to completely different materials. The team's mixtures also exhibits mechanical properties that can be easily modified. Importantly, the method provides a new, convenient, accurate and informative way to explore granular physics, >>️

# life: a proposito di transizioni, un generico approccio di come tracciare traiettorie di ipotetiche Entità in ipotetica modalità transeunte

Img: Fear and loathing in Las Vegas.  Terry Gilliam (Movie, USA, 1998). 

A proposito di transizioni, qui una breve lista di generiche purtuttavia significative tracce da individuare, circoscrivere, analizzare, collezionare, tracce che permettono, a-priori, di intravedere "finestre di non così im.probabile futuro transeunte" in contesti anche di elevata, spiccata, pulsatile complessità (per modo di dire).

Si immagini (l'immaginazione è sempre utile, necessaria, indispensabile, è sempre così) un gambler curioso, tenace (anche sadico seppure più o meno in.consapevole), purtuttavia irreversibilmente incline ai "giochi al buio" (il gambling al buio è Alfa e Omega per il gambler ispirato, creativo, erratico, di frontiera ...) che irrompa per qualsivoglia motivo (per caso, per necessità, per curiosità, per pulsione sperimentale ...) "nei meandri labirintici d'obscure & 'fonde paludi
https://inkpi.blogspot.com/2005/06/1668-ramificata-tinnula-di-carmina.html  e ponga - individualmente, serialmente - mai collettivamente, mai pubblicamente  (qui si evidenzia: MAI)  - una banale generica domanda, purtuttavia non del tutto campata in aria, a interlocutori sia in ambienti "di strada", "di bar", "di famiglia", "di club", "di clan", sia in ambiti "di potere", anche di "alto rango", anche professionalmente "paludati", diciamo ...

Da.Lì un complesso d'immediate  risposte che permetteranno  all'osservatore gambler di collezionare "tracce" utili per delineare, assemblare panoramiche, non del tutto campate in aria, su come potrebbe ipoteticamente indirizzarsi, strutturarsi, configurarsi, delinearsi il sistema negli anni - ma anche nei decenni - a venire; 

A scanso di equivoci, questo non è approccio da "Apprendista Stregone"; tutt'altro; qui si ricorda che "l'osservazione" e "l'interrogazione" (i.e. "l'esperimento", perciò con l'indispensabile metodologico confinamento dell'errore) diretti verso  qualsivoglia "scatola nera" di qualsivoglia natura sono i primi due momenti dell'impresa scientifico/ tecnologica. Di qualsivoglia impresa scientifico/ tecnologica; si pensi come esempio all'enorme complesso di interrogazioni della Fisica, della Chimica, che hanno permesso la tecnologia tascabile "ditino-telefonino".

Qui la domanda: 

"questo senz'altro intrigante dinamico 'movimento' (all'interno di un ben circoscritto specifico contesto) non Le sembra generato da un gioco in qualche forma deviato, a logica forse arcaica, fors'anche involuta, ipoteticamente a-priori autolesiva financo, risonante, ridondante di tipico sotteso generico controllo di potere mafioso (pre- post- para- etno- ...)... ?"

Qui di seguito una serie di risposte significative (i traccianti) da collezionare con ordine e dedizione (come le mitiche figurine Panini anni '60, per dire - ce l' ho, ce l'ho, mi manca ...  https://www.panini.it/shp_ita_it/figurine-panini.html ) e, successivamente, da modellizzare nell'adatte forme.

Si pensi, se si vuole, a una bizzarra ipotesi di "volontariato" indirizzato verso la figura di ipotetico giovane Scienziato Antropologo Cittadino (gSAC) di talento.

Una osservazione: nel corso dell'interazioni, qualsiasi successivo commento/ variazione di atteggiamento, di facies alle risposte dell'interlocutore sono da evitare assolutamente; nel porre la domanda e nel registrare le risposte l'esercizio dell'ascolto, del successivo silenzio, dell'impassibilità qui sono  metodologicamente obbligatori; qui è fondamentale l'esclusione di qualsivoglia esternazione in merito a  pulsività moralistico- ideologiche. Si perturberebbe oltremodo ed irreversibilmente il 'sistema' in osservazione compromettendo il valore dell'intervista.

Unica eccezione, al solo scopo di agevolare, facilitare, rendere fluida l'interazione, si legga ad es. "A gentle lick or nibble makes this brain circuit buzz", D. Keller et al./Curr. Biol.   https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-02910-6

Se possono essere utili altri riferimenti bibliografici ci si può riferire alle operazioni "emiche-etiche" (Marvin Harris https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvin_Harris) e alle facies impassibili - qualsiasi cosa accada - del Maestro, indimenticato, indimenticabile Buster Keaton https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Keaton ).

Ultima osservazione: trattandosi di giornalismo scientifico, sarebbe bene evitare quelle disdicevoli performance che declinano verso le bizzarrie comportamentali di Raoul Duke e Dr. Gonzo in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_and_Loathing_in_Las_Vegas

Qui le risposte "traccianti":

(1) << si e' sempre fatto così >>
(2a) << anche gli altri >>
(2b) << Lei non ha idea - in tal guisa - a quali importanti Clan si potrebbe  accedere ed operare (beninteso, se fosse come dice Lei) >>
(3) << in qualsiasi "altro modo" sarà piu' difficile, mi creda >>
(4) << qui ognuno si occupa del "proprio"/ dei "propri" >>
(5) << questa è forse una velata  contestazione? Lei suggerisce forse che qui si possa reagire/ contestare/ deviare/ tradire, e perciò sputare nel piatto dove si mangia/ si è mangiato/ si mangerà/ si mangerebbe? >>
(6) << se si fa "altro" allora ... non si è  furbi >>
(7) << se si fa "altro" allora ... non si è "con Noi" e se non si è "con Noi" allora si è "contro di Noi", e' scritto in tutti i libri che si trovano in tutte le biblioteche >> 
(8) << "Noi" non si sapeva >>
(9a) << "Noi" siamo/ siamo stati colti di sorpresa >> 
(9b) << "Noi" siamo stupiti, allibiti, estre.fatti >> 
(10) << evidentemente "Noi" si è stati dis.tratti >>️
(11) << attenzione, a gettare fango "su di Noi" si getterà fango su tutto il sistema/ istituzione/ (...) >>
(12) << attenzione, in realtà questo non e'/ non può essere un contesto democratico >> 
Per chiudere col guizzo d'orpello la breve ma esaustiva lista, qui di seguito tre dei classici della letteratura in tali ambiti: 

(13a) << qui è difficile entrare ma, una volta entrati, da qui è impossibile uscire  (intendendo sottotraccia: pena l'essere  copiati/ duplicati - si tenga presente che sono illusori, ad esiti comici, drammatici, i tentativi di copiare- duplicare una Entità se l'Entità è, per certe sue caratteristiche proprie, per sua intima natura, induplicabile -  poi sostituiti, infine irreversibilmente confinati/ terminati) >>
(13b) << ci sono contesti dove non si può vincere, non si può perdere, non si può lasciare >>️
(14) << da questa domanda mi sembra di capire cosa Lei pensa di "Noi" (pausa)  - qui è indispensabile l'impassibilità e l'assoluto silenzio dell'intervistatore - Lei pensa che Noi si è imbecilli, perditempo, dediti a pulsioni lesive- autolesive,  ... se è così, se è come Io penso ciò che Lei pensa, si acconci perchè non si sappia in giro, perchè non si venga a sapere (cosa  pensa di Noi), altrimenti Lei, Dottore, qui e altrove, è finito, fi-ni-to ... (by Gigi, 1985) >>️️
(15) << se sono rose fioriranno ... >>
PS: ognuna di queste risposte meriterebbe una Nota poetica, quasistocastica perfino ( https://inkpi.blogspot.com ), ad es. 

<< ... che sgomina (sgomitola?) il qualsivoglia tema // segnato //
da selle in mista gomena // all'interno,  all'intorno // dell'inteso (intonso?) meta-magma // neuro- meta- magma >>

ma mi astengo.
