Integrity Systems
(a series of feedback loops and spontaneous notes compiled into a sort of wonky review/brainstorm fallout zone, enjoy. Steve)
A colleague of mine here in Amsterdam gifted me a press-pass to 'Integrated Systems Europe'(iseurope.org) So Yesterday i put on my best hoody and headed over to the RAI exhibition center on the tram, due to the fact i had a press pass i feel it only right to write a review of my 3 hours spent inside.
I was pre-warned about the suits, but i did not expect them all to be so dark in colour which made many of the white males look very similar. The food vendors were easily the best dressed IMHO. Many had little or no hair, either facial or on top which had the effect of amplifying the long flowing locks of the women present. I estimate 20 males for each female at this exhibition. One future trend i predict for future iseurope gatherings is more females and the felt presence of the feminine other in the technology itself.
The exhibition was spread out over several halls inter-connected by corridors littered with coffee-bars and food outlets. A constant river of people from around the globe flowed back and forwards, and who knows what they were thinking, having probably also seen what i have seen...a glimpse of the future?
Like with all things, i can't help but view everything i see from my own skewed perspective, or in this case what i would do with these advanced technologies in the realm of the creative performance arts, rather than commercial business sector. Although if my suspicions are correct, the future will seem like an artists creation rather than a cold static kiosk in a run down shop. I say 'seem like' due to the fact that everywhere i look i see innovative technology aimed at selling products. Products that are often not so advanced or innovative, a burger meal at the fast food place, a beer at the stadium or festival, the signs and signals used to sell pretty bland stuff to the masses.
I do not wish to seem like a technophobe who is against the development and deployment of these advanced artificial advertisement technologies. The business backing and support and success of such gatherings as Integral Systems, and International reach gives me a good sense that there will be another iseurope next year with yet larger screens, more powerful light manipulators, holographic technologies, directed audio, surveillance and facial recognition systems.
I really felt the Kurtzweil curve and what Robert Anton Wilson called 'the laws of acceleration' the exponential growth in technology. One could extrapolate from this experience what other international exhibitions and conferences are like these days (2015) no matter what sector, the ability to engage your audience and or future business associates remains paramount. Shit, what if you could beam the messages you wanted directly into the heads of individuals, would you?
Larger screens, smaller cameras, faster processing, wider integration, weather proof, in the dark, immersive, 360, 4k, 10k, remote, automated, smart, digital. It's a mans world of information technology and social strategy for integration, implementation on a real global scale. McDonald's global, or Microsoft global, to mean global. Yet the future may hold a few surprises and the mechanical bride has yet to fully awake.
I wonder what Marshall McLuhan and Buckminster Fuller would make of the 12th Integrated Systems exhibition? and what might uncle Bob say? Much like the other huge gathering of global tech at the RAI in Amsterdam, the ICB, iseurope demonstrates the latest and the next in a very broad spectrum of technology. A deeper look at such exhibitions reflect cultural phenomena and all sorts of interesting things about communications and cybernetics.
Try taking the floor plans from a particular sector of an exhibition and transplant them somewhere else, and in so doing you come up with a single exhibition space that combines all the technologies into one area. Housed in the cloud, voice activated and omnipresent. A studio/stage. To record and playback in real time.
The great end-game technology that i envisioned would have turned every head present is the geoscope, as developed by the late great R. Buckminster Fuller. I say 'end-game' because from what i can gather, Bucky intended the geoscope to help integrate many systems together in a new global picture of spaceship earth, illustrating the past-present-future results of global co-operation versus a world at war, both in the sense of business competition for profit and contracts, and the very real killy' weapons based war. I quickly grokked, however, that this geoscope would attract the wrong kind of attention and most probably be turned into yet another advanced tool for the private eyes and pockets of the few. The fact remains that these technologies can be used for good or for bad, however you choose to define those primordial differences? Bucky used the terms 'livingry' versus 'killingry' get it? now you decide which technology falls into which category.

"Integrity of the individual is what we're being judged for and if we are not passing that examination, we don't really have the guts, we'll blow ourselves up. It will be all over. I think it's all the difference in the world.--Buckminster Fuller.

"Synergy is the only word in our language that means behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the separately observed behaviors of any of the system's separate parts or any subassembly of the system's parts. There is nothing in the chemistry of a toenail that predicts the existence of a human being--R. Buckminster Fuller.
Carbon 60 (SIXTY) and Bucky Fuller Life Mice
Somehow i missed the somewhat recent news of research done with carbon 60 infused food for mice which led to a doubling of their life span. Wow, now if the research is repeated a few more times we have another great property of Carbon 60, and another reason to look back and reconsider, re-study the works of Buckminster Fuller.--Steve fly
A recent French study looking for chronic toxicity resulting from ingesting buckyballs dissolved in olive oil found that 10 month old rats who ingested the human equivalent of a tenth of a gram of C-60 buckyballs (which in technical grades cost less than US$10/gram) several times a week showed extended lifespans instead of toxic effects.-- http://www.gizmag.com/diet-buckyballs-extending-lifespan/22245/
Researchers at the University of Paris and colleagues fed the molecule fullerene (C60 or “buckyballs”) dissolved in olive oil to rats and found it almost doubles their lifespan, with no chronic toxicity.
The results suggest that the effect of C60, an antioxidant, on lifespan is mainly due to the attenuation of age-associated increases in oxidative stress, according to the researchers.-- http://www.kurzweilai.net/fullerene-c60-administration-doubles-rat-lifespan-with-no-toxicity

At threadonism.com you can find examples of HYPERBOLIC CROTCHET OBJECTS, each a unique model of mathematically defined HYPERBOLIC STRUCTURES. Bridging the gap between art and science, crochet is an ancient craft, both practical and functional in communities around the world and relatively ubiquitous in it's application, croctet manifests structures, in this case HYPERBOLIC STRUCTURES, from simple threads (STRINGS) by way of a knotting or folding pattern, each twist is a rather complex operation, on the one hand, and a simple to pick up - handycraft - on the other.
Hyperbolic Crotchet seems to be a great tool for bringing craftspeople and academic scientists together in a new and creative way, bridging the gaps between specialization and comprehensive knowledge systems and most importantly engaging human beings in ancient craft activities - physically and mentally - providing an alternatve reality engineering activity outside of the growing virtual - mental - social electronic frontere.
Youtube and internet were the winds that blew the seeds of hyperbolic crotchet into my own life, and my partner has become a Hyperbolic Crotchet master in a matter of just a few months. I am excited to see such an idea manifest as a reality in front of my eyes - a mathematical proof and more - in fact, and beautiful like the fractal artwork explosions, soft, colorful, and malluable. I will share some of the relative links and extensions of the Hyperbolic field, that I feel help describe the importance of this growing craft, and also to pay tribute to the beautiful objects created by Janne at THREADONISM.COM

AM is for Alight Matter: MAYBELOGIC QUARTERLY
On August 5th, 1945 a Mushroom cloud appeared over Hiroshima, illustrating humanities latest technological breakthrough in Killingry: the ability to kill more and more people in less and less time. 21st century technology can either help people to live joyously and cooperatively or force them to die quicker. The choice is ours. But the hours are not all ours.
The first neurotransmitter known to science; Acetylcholine, was identified in 1914 at the breakout of the first world war by Henry Hallett Dale while doing research on heart tissue, Henry went on to win a nobel prize for his rediscovery. The devastating killingry made possible by biological nerve weapons of mass destruction, and other secret nerve agents, are partly due to their inhibition of acetylcholinesterase in the victims. Constant stimulation of the muscles glands and the central nervous system are the terrible symptoms. Popular insecticides inhibit this enzyme too and destroy targeted insects, such as fungas gnats and green fly.
On a more positive tip, Muscarine, a subdivision of Acetylcholine and a neurotransmitter in both the peripheral and central nervous system, can be used to treat Alzheimer's disease and other complications involving abnormal muscle relaxation. The stimulation of the muscle glands through Muscarine acts as an example of a drug being used intelligently and positively as a medicine to help prolong life and help the ill, rather than provoking illness and leading to the annihilation of life.
During the rainy season in the sonoran deserts in Colorado, America, people make a sacred pilgrimage to communicate with little green non-human entities. Small, soft and velvety to touch, with cute little emerald heads that are full of jewles, these holy amphibian drug dealers can each individually deliver enough psychopharmacological energy force to launch, as Ralph Metzner puts it: six to eight adult human beings, potentially, into cosmic hyperconsciousness; into the heart of creation, while returning them safely to their original human form shortly afterwards. A loving example of inter-species communication between mankind and amphibians.
Paradoxically entomology is the scientific study of insects, while etymology is the study of the origins of words. Drosophila_melanogaster is the common species of fruit fly used in genetics experiments ever since GM kicked off around 1910 AD. Most of our modern pharmacological technology and genetic advances are indebted to humble flies while various chemical discoveries are due to extracts from their toadstool namesake: fly agaric.
Italian Ethnobotonist and Ethnomycologist Giorgio Samorini came up with a brilliant new hypothesis called the Lazarus fly, published in his illuminating book; Animals and Psychedelics. This enchanting social-biological observation provides strong scientific evidence for a minded symbiotic relationship between toads, flies and fungi. Buzzillions of flies and fungus gnats throughout history have licked Amanita Muscaria and become as inebriated as Tim Finnegan, stoned, drunken, delirious meals for hungry toads, and other forest-floor foragers who may or may not have picked up this evolutionary advantage, probably tuned in while hanging around mushrooms. This strong, undiluted 70% proof of interspecies communication occuring in forests all over the natural world, illuminates an important etymological keystone; a symbiosis so ancient that it's imediate implications demand an entire scientific and poetic revolution. The buzz term in this field is zoopharmacognosy: the study, celebration and liberation of animals, bugs and plants that mindfully use themselves as inebriating medicine as a kind of novel evolutionary advantage.
Mycoremediation is a term spun by mycologist Paul Stamets and roughly translates as environmental renewal by using fungus. The relative scientific facts about mycoremediation are inspirational for all critterkind facing global meltdown and mindless industrial, global pollution. Fungi have their own kingdom of nature, yet every individual spore is a Tsar: they do not have leaders or Kings in their fungal kingdom, in contrast to human oligarchy. They charitably recycle billions of tons of natural and man made waste products for free so that plants, animals and humans benefit with furtile soils and healthy nutrients to live together happily with. In kaleidoscopic contrast we have the civilized Homo sapien species, who are without shadows of doubt, the greatest natural disaster to explode themselves on this beautiful and life sustaining free planet. Fungus; through their bioremediation are our saviors in some sense. Our shit munching little helpers in another. Literally: mothers little helpers.
Muscarine occurs inside the fetching fly agaric species of mushroom alongside some other psychopharmacological secret agents: ibotenic acid, muscazone and muscimol. Fly agaric and many other fungi in the agaric family are spread far and wide across planet earth. Due to the lack of fungal fossil records we have no specific scientific data pinpointing exactly how long these toadstools have been here, although it's safe to say longer than homo sapiens. Scientific research upon this particular species of fungus has led to many compounds used to increase longevity. Alternatively, other fly agaric extracts can dramatically paralyze biological life, much like usury paralyzes wealth by asphyxiating the natural abundance of nature, blocking her will. Some scholars such as the part time banker at J.P Morgan, and part time mycologist; Richard Gordon Wasson, have suggested that fly agarik is the mythical plant/drug/drink known widely as Soma; highly regarded in the sacred Hindu texts called the Rig Vedas.
Terence Mckenna has proposed that psylocybin containing mushrooms and not Amanita mushrooms maybe a more fitting candidate for the mighty Soma complex due to their stronger psychoactive properties. Other theories propose Soma to be an alchemical combination of various psychoactive vegetables. Thousands of years ago Soma was celebrated as the divine ambrosia of immortality. Today scientists can show how the chemical muscarine lives up to this description by providing useful medical drugs that help prolong life. The great Aldous Huxley deployed SOMA as a literary device in his novel Brave New World, Soma's function in this novel was an opiate of the masses substituting religion and other stimulants popular with Homo sapiens. This excellent distopian device scares me relatively more than Eric Blair's Big Brother and his similar critically paranoid, Nineteen Eighty Four. Although to me, both of these novels seem like fairy stories when compared with the terrifying phenomenon known worldwide as satan claus.
Spearheading the rapidly expanding field of evolutionary epistemologyThe Lazarus fly provides a stunning example of a tight biosemiotic epistemological fit; snug as a bug in a rug. An ancient motherfucking most mysterious matrix tale. An epic love story providing semiotic insights into one of the strangest sociobimaybelogical, tragic/comic romances upon spaceship earth. That's until some entity proposes superior scientific research data to challenge it.
The term to identify flies in latin is musca. Semiotics used as a method applied to fairy myth helps to refine a linguistic approach and attempts to find the 'words' of it's universal lunguage. Many people who choose to ingest psychedelicsgenerally experience a dramatically increased sense and sensibility of light, ranging from tranquil and soft star sparkles, flares, dancing multicolored flames; and the warm sense that billions of torches are searching through fiber-optic energy channels in their body. ToThunder. Lightening. Flashes of explosive photonic bombardment. From all quarters. Blinding. Fractal. Hyperspatial travel. Annihilation. Super nova neural explosions. Atomic detonation of physical boundaries. Energy flashes. Repeating visions. Safely tucked away behind the eyelids.
According to some Christian theology God muttered let there be light, and then, there was light. Bioluminescence is a relatively knu scientific term describing biological cells that emit light photons known as biophotons. Many of the brighter investigative researchers within this glowing field propose that DNA RNA is perpetually emitting these biophotons, and has been doing so since the first RNA DNA molecular poets resurrected themselves upon spaceship Earth. Because of the relatively weak broadcasting strength of these biophotons only recently has modern science and it's post-modern instrumentation rediscovered these ancient auras and properly acknowledged their universality among all RNA DNA coded critters. In the Tibetan book of the Dead there are six lights which correspond to six realms of existence - traditionally, the realm of the gods, jealous gods (asuras), humans, animals, hungry ghosts and hell beings. These lights are also known as the lower lights.
An ever growing population of anthropologists and scientists have visited and participated in ancient sacred vegetable rites and ceremonies and journeyed back to a western scientific paradigm with reality shattering alternative maps, models and novel metaphors. Brave Knu tempronauts vividly describe incredible visions; tales of serpents, jaguars, Pink river dolphins, insectoid timespace traveling anthropologists, many headed monsters with gnashing teeth, light beings, diamond encrusted dancing angels, self transforming basketball elf chemists, E.T's, ghosts of vegetation spirits, deities, superluminous skyladders leading to star systems. This dissolution of boundaries between human, animal, insect, vegetable and amphibian kingdoms into a twilight of pastiche, seems, most likely to me, that under the extra sensory perceptive conditions of certain psychopharmacological agents, the RNA DNA emitted biophotons that are contained within all life on earth suddenly appear detectable to our interacting human nervous system. We literally begin to see the photons, reflect, and then feel what's the matter. And we interpret this light according to our own individual glosses, our neuropsychological and neurosemantic belief systems. I'm doing this right now, and so are you!
The perceived fire inside of fireflies or the lightening inside of lightening bugs is known to scientists as Luciferin. Jellyfish, and Antarctic Krill also contain Luciferin. These creatures translate and amplify the light to such a degree that they appear to human and other sufficiently accomplished seeing critters, as ill with a case of the luminous. Yet, if we could increase our sensitivity to light then maybe all DNA RNA based life would appear illuminated?
Coincidently, illumination or enlightenment [the concept] often appears to critters under the influence of psychoactive compounds or what may be more poetically called entheogens [messengers of metempsychosis from within]. And God said: let there be light, but the meter remained and empty woid.
