Semiosis and Strange Day of Events https://youtu.be/sAXfnDruPto VIDEO It was a strange day of events. First of all Brett Smiley was inaugurated mayor of Providence RI at the New Providence Public Library. The new Public Library has been rebuilt on an older library. There's a lot of electronics in it now and a lot of computers and makerspace. Generation was wonderful. There was a marching band there was a Chinese dragon band. I honestly don't know where the ladder came from but it was wonderful. Everything was wonderful. So we followed the inauguration all the way to the City Hall . We went up the stairs at the City Hall and into the room and recognize some of the people who recognized us as well that was all very fascinating. The point is we hadn't expected any of this. We had heard some muffled sounds of the drum like a snare drum from outside. And we were going to take a walk anyway. So we went in that direction and we found all of this. So this is the first part I think of what could we consider this symbolic. The entire event was symbolic and inauguration. When we had had our Fill of that and we're walking around we decided to go to the river and take our usual tour. But this time something of interest was happening this would have gone under the character of the real. The dredging equipment was working to move the dredging pipe into a different position . The pipe was bent into what looked like a parabola as a result but it couldn't have been a parabola. When I thought about it I realized that's most likely what it wasn't but it could have been a parabola. The water resisted at every point the pipe had its own stiffness and the pipe was trailing behind the single point . There were several points but I'm not sure that they were all pulling at once. It looks like one boat or another was pulling at different times. This is real because it represented a kind of methesis the mathematics of liquids and solids and geometries. What was missing Then what's the imaginary . Was the imaginary what was missing was the imaginary. On the way back we heard a lot of alarms going off centered in a parking garage. A great number of fire engines pulled up I think there were about six. There were lights flashing as well. There were lights flashing from within the garage and there were lights flashing from the fire engines. We were very tired at this point. We've been out for hours and we walked home with the sound of the fire engines the siren going off the alarms going off in the building in the distance. This was the imaginary . Nothing was occurring nothing could have been occurring nothing might have been occurring nothing seemed to be occurring nothing was probably occurring and it was all existing within the realm of language and the problematic. Our day completed, we walked back to the house realizing we had symbolically and semiotically gone through the entire universe of discourse in the afternoon and found it vastly entertaining. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@lists.netbehaviour.org https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
