keep reading on the web of life
This week I kept reading on the book of the web of life, below is the section I read.
"Ultimately--as quantum physics showed so dramatically--there are no parts at all. What we call a part s merely a pattern in an inseparable web of relationships. Therefore the shift from the parts to the whole can also be seen as a shift from objects to relationships. In a sense, this a a figure/ground shift. In the mechanistic view the world is a collection of objects. These, of course, interact with one another, and hence there are relationships among them. But the relationships are secondary, as illustrated schematically below in figure 3-1A. In the systems view we realize that the objects themseleves are networks of relationships, embedded in larger networks. For the systems thinker the relationships are primary. The boundaries of the discernible patterns("objects") are secondary, as pictured--again in greatly simplified fashion--in figure3-1B.
perception of the living world as a network of relationships has made thinking in terms of networks--expressed more elegantly in German as vernetzte Denken--another key characteristic of systems thinking. This "network thinking" has influenced not only our view of nature but also the way we speak about scientific knowledge. For thousands of years Western scientists and philosophers have used the metaphor of knowledge as a building, together with many other architectural metaphors derived from it.
We speak of fundamental laws, fundamental principles, basic building blocks, and the like, and we assert that the edifice of science must be built on firm foundations. Whenever major scientific revolutions occurred, it was felt that the foundations of science were moving. Thus Descartes wrote in his celebrated Discourse on Method:In so far as (the sciences) borrow their principles from philosophy, I considered that nothing solid could be built on such shifting foundations.
Einstein, in his autobiography, described his feeling in terms very similar to Heisenberg's:
It was as if the ground had been pulled out from under one, with no firm foundation to be seen anywhere, upon which one could have built.
In the new systems thinking, the metaphor of knowledge as a building is being replaced by that of the network. As we perceive reality as a network of relationships, our descriptions, too, form an interconnected network o f concepts and models in which there are no foundations. For most scientists such a view of knowledge as a network with no firm foundations is extremely unsettling,and today it is by no means generally accepted. But as the network approach expands throughout the scientific community, the idea of knowledge as a network will undoubtedly find increasing acceptance."
----------
so, my thinking is that should we rethinking about the definition of information architecture? if it is possible, that are the main features or characteristic of web or network?

flowing
These weeks, I read much, my mind merely flowing what I am reading everyday.
These new words below driving me go somewhere I didn't know.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The web of life
personal myth tangible, functional and aesthetic ways/// ideation///synthesize research //// metamedium /// holistic encyclopedia ///effect ordering for data display image Dei /// sinusoidal /// triangulation ////attribution /// Einstein's dreams /// bias ///
The writings of Marshall McLuhan have introduced us to, among other things, the concept that every new medium not only builds upon-but essentially is made up of --the wide variety of media that precede it. While this formal and theoretical familiarity challenges designers attempting to push the boundaries of "new media" and define the nature of this new way to communicate, one should not overlook the power of this metamedium for the archival and exploration of the wide range of cultural history that it has begun to subsume.
mash up pitch, volumn, rhyme,
Ad hoc //// film noir //// empirical //// rubric //// tangle up in /// femme fatale /// stream of consciousness /// stay current /// participatory narrative /// peripheral event //// bravado //// pulp fiction /// prose /// sordid motive /// sound collage /// intermingle /// hard-boiled /// double cross /// paperback ///vulnerable/// visual depiction/// germination /// The only new thing in this world is the history you don't know. //// You are what you eat /// working on things that matter ///
Given all the ways you could use your skills and your valuable time, pick something that serves the greater good.

deep ecology-a new paradigm
Today, Gunta left 2 thoughtful sentences to her undergraduate class.
---1. A girl thought that her idea of project is too personal. Gunta asked that which original idea or initial concept isn't personal idea? only the idea which give you impulse and passion may go universial.
I deeply subscribe to this perception, who would like our idea that ourself don't like? I also had same thoughts as that girl, worried about if my idea is too subjective or personal. Yes, every project or idea should start from the point, which comes from our passion truely.
This topic recalled my last night searching experience on google for seeking an Iphone application, IP address tracker and statistic tool, there is a guy questioned online: Is there a Statcounter iPhone App in the pipeline? I've no doubt there is a huuuuge amount of demand for this....It is therefore appropriate to be convinced our really thinking and needs. that is what worth to spend time and energy, and we could work out at all.
----2. A student was wondering at if his idea is too artistic to design. Gunta answered that she don't care about is't art or design. Actually, where is the edge between design and art? how we have a rather design sense ?
By the way,book of " the web of life", recommend by Brain came, I am going to read the chapter about system Theories at first!
