Hi Max, See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thousand_Character_Classic - that
was the original source. A friend of mine, Ellen Zweig, and I translated
almost the entire piece from scratch.
We worked on it on and off for months. It's a difficult piece.
Of course the translation had some redundancy. So the below is the result
of eliminating all the redundancy with a perl program. The elimination
parallels the original writing process in Chinese.
The original essay of course is a masterpiece, and important both in
traditional Chinese examination culture and the gambling game keno.

[Max Herman via NetBehaviour]

This is very interesting Alan!  I read it twice before writing the below list.

I still don't understand computer code really but am curious how the process 
ran to create the below.  Not understanding on my part is OK though.

Some items I've been considering lately:

I ching (standstill, randomly chosen on 9/23)
Medicine wheel
Healing wheel
Healing process
Healing cycle
Wheel = process
Wheel = cycle
Curriculum = racecourse
Curricle = chariot
Tragedy = cycle
Shakespeare = network
Network = process
Networks of processes
Buddhism as medical theory
Consciousness as networks of processes
Matter and energy as cycles
Disease as cycles
Network model of disease
Network model of intelligence
I ching as wheel
Suffering as wheel
Delusion as wheel

After I wrote the above list, I read the piece again and am now writing the 
below list:

Procession = Emanation
precession = to go before
Process = course, track? or to move along a course?
cycle = kuklos (circle)
CERN (1) found Higgs boson (1)
CERN (2) didn't find Higgs boson (2)
Reality is events, not objects
Events = processes
Interconnections of events are views
Ensemble wave pattern = reality
Leonardo = Aqua
Complexity is cycles

And lastly, after a few readings:

narrative cycle (to tell)
novel cycle (Old French novelle, new, news, tidings, novellus, novus)
network = labyrinth
labyrinth = stone circle = i ching
Tragedy as medical theory
Religare - to bind
Relegare - to read again

systems chemistry as network of processes
RNA world = old origin of life theory
chimera molecules = new theory

[NetBehaviour] Children of Prometheus | Hosted by NeMe Gallery, Cyprus. 11 Oct – 20 Dec 2019.

[marc.garrett via NetBehaviour]

Children of Prometheus | Hosted by NeMe Gallery, Cyprus. 11 Oct – 20 Dec 2019.

NeMe and curator Marc Garrett, cofounder and co-Director of Furtherfield have 
the pleasure to invite you to Children of Prometheus. The exhibition, opening 
on Friday, 11 October at 7:30pm at the NeMe Arts Centre, #Limassol, 
investigates the landscape of a rapidly transforming world and how some of 
these shifts inform and affect our immediate environment.

The complex nature of the ancient Greek myth of Prometheus has inspired 
philosophers, authors and artists throughout many centuries and will continue 
to do so because of the powerful contradictions which it embodies which 
reflects the ongoing dualities present in both the human mind and physical 
existence. Acknowledging that the Promethean spirit lives on in the ambitions 
of science and technology, which in many cases defies the limits imposed upon 
humanity by nature, the post-modern Prometheus belongs to an organised world 
focused on the technology of the internet. This rapidly expanding domain, with 
its presumed ethos of democracy belies the technologies of data mining, fake 
data, targeted personalised advertising, etc used by global conglomerates to 
engineer/manipulate people’s perception via media into a state of hyper-real 
urgency by dislocating the individual from physical realities.

Participating artists: Lynn Hershman Leeson, Anna Dumitriu, Carla Gannis, Alan 
Sondheim, Gretta Louw, Joana Moll, Kypros Kyprianou, AOS (Salvatore Iaconesi & 
Oriana Persico), Mary Flanagan, Alexia Achilleos, with with Egor Chemokhonenko, 
Guido Segni, Marinos Koutsomichalis, Marinos Koutsomichalis.
