Informal Vexilloid Logic and Quasiomnium

Informal Vexilloid Logic and Quasiomnium

L. Edgar Otto 01 March, 2012

This is an art project started in fun to casually explore the capabilities of this machine and less serious doodling while not watching the sequence of things in my background thoughts that developed later influences- that is as if in a dream I am resolving some symbolic issues.

Vexillogy is the study of the simple art form of the flag. It relates to a logic of colors simple in number. It is my earliest interest which I have mastered and stayed with the changes always look for new fundamental forms of patterns.

Part of this was being around the Navy base in Norfolk as a child and having access to the signal flags. While my father would have liked me to show more interest in radio if I were to be a seaman I would have been a signal man.

But this itself is symbolic of other thoughts that gather around this drawing. It started out as a few minimum dots on a blue background, the serious question was just how deep can we read a map of the stars of the universe digitally.

I casually connected 13 of them in a constellation which has no intrinsic significance but I did get a better idea from the process, in fact part of the consolidation of all I have posted in the need for different and constant symbols where they are ambiguously applied by me as the several scientific and mathematical disciplines was some of these alphabets I can already read easily like these flags and the Morse code.

When I consider the topology by some who have posted here and the intelligibility of numbers that seem to tell us something about the world, wondering if Majorana as I posted it was after all why the physicists considered the idea in the logic of under the physics, that certainly was with the flow of the current interests and themes of my posting.

I imagine then that the constellation is one of many possible and that when physical or a signal, an energy passes between certain labeled elements, this would be a way to express the idea of looping diagrams in general and in particular the Feynman diagrams. It of course applies quasic principles.

For a start I have one star that is the initiator assigned a white pennant. For the next level things, 4, I take the repeaters as substitute to conserve the need for many duplicate flags and quasics is in a sense a repetition and substitution more than a strict order and structure of things. The problems encountered in representing codes and thus running out of colors is a problem also in how we can represent colors on the computer.

Where there is color, the red black yellow white blue (and in some few cases green) the purpose was to make them as distinguishable and readable as possible.

To this end I as best I could extended the substitute pennants to include many more for a total of 26. The sequence is not quite just a Fibonacci one, a broken symmetry idea so to speak for at some point in the complexity we simply follow the binary pattern 1 4 8 16 32 and so on. As usual we cannot always decide from the first few numbers what to expect even in the next few let along at some great distance. So I make a Lampion of this general principle of choices of the progress of complexity- of which 16 is more significant than mere 8 as in symmetries, number properties, and dimensions.

In trying to extend the Conway matrix to five space I needed the 28 letters rather than the four space 24. This relates to the 3x3x3 cube of 27, 28, 30, 31, and 32 depending on how we count things and for what purpose. I made the mirrors of these 13 or 14 and added &. For in truth 25 is a limit to the logic, a beginning and ending of sorts to logical processes at least in space as we know it- it is quite possible that some of the centers a few suggest as higher gravity or massive structures in adjacent assumed universes are of this general higher dimensional matter which somewhere may have as much a valid structure as matter does here- again, it is not outside the totality, the omnium.

It is difficult for example to actually define a razor sharp gray but only some appear to clarity- that is the content of color has proven just as difficult in some uniform color space idea as the amazing scale and numbers that seem unlimited to the hues and tones for the human eye- so there is a clear color, a transparency, and then again it is invisible really no matter how the machine is programmed to set it up we have to have an outside perspective also, perhaps the color of love. Somewhere between the black and white and the spectrum we can regard both levels when intelligible as all of them as color, and this conveys signals as information or is the state of such structures in the world as a resource given. But it is hard to speculate wisely if we do not understand what is a the bottom of our limitations, and its theoretical products.
