When I was a teenager I was quite a case: I had ■hyperinsulinemic episodes. I would get shaky hands and have to eat sweets for the thing to be gone. This inspired me to learn about human natural chemistry. My learning and practice helped me get rid of the shakes, though my metabolism remains. I … Continue reading My well-being book

Thesis: general conclusions
Written or spoken language undeniably can be information, for purposes of civic, medical, or other lore. Human intellect needs to emerge individually, before group or societal realization. Physical parameters of bodily function meet information objectives in every living person, of a species where individuals are homeostatic by standard. A frame of cellular dynamics capable of … Continue reading Thesis: general conclusions
To constitute a man
"In this country, where his opposition to the corruptions of government has raised him so many adversaries, and such a swarm of unprincipled hirelings have exerted themselves in blackening his character, and in misrepresenting all the transactions and incidents of his life, will it not be a most difficult, nay, an impossible task, for posterity, … Continue reading To constitute a man
The monitor hypothesis
If you are German, French, Russian, Polish or another and you learn American, you could not write a book in American, because your American is a monitor, it is not source. Hmm... ? ■More
Constructive criticism
The idea here is, people can be reasonable when it is worth it; and more, people can learn what is worth learning. Could we have a math integral requirement in a constitution?
Carpe linguam
The dot is mostly rounded or square, but were it triangular or hexagonal, the sense for it always would be to give some frame to what there is written or spoken. It is never there to divide or terminate written or spoken thought. ■More

This has been mostly water to spur curiosity, chip from a block of ice and snowflake, if traveled through air, about physical gates. The question was whether one shape could turn into another owing to planes, those we know from planimetry. ■More

4. Feedback deficiency and language
Conscious human experience becomes possible with the person form for individual awareness, known as the human mind. Though it may never become defined in universal terms for constituents or inner composure, the mind has been recognized in function to consolidate thinking as well as feeling (Vander et al., 1985).

Thomas Paine as a young man
Mainstream, run-of-the-mill, or even rush-hour, we people time and again get honestly to reflect on what we see. Preparing a book series, I arrived at reviewing images of Thomas Paine.

Bogey in the tongue box
ELM is short for an Extreme Learning Machine. ELMs can train artificial feedforward networks; ELMs are pre-programmed, fast, and affordable. However, human brains rely on own, intrinsic feedback, and the role approximates a drive; the tissue uses feedforward, but not in “single-layer networks”. ELMs are to work in Computer Aided Diagnosis. ■→More

En Face
THE only approved picture of Emily Dickinson is a daguerreotype her sister would have given to one Austin Baxter Keep in 1890s. I do not like the daguerreotype simply as a negligent image of a human being. I had my first careful look and understood it was disposed of as faulty. I broke it into CMYK. ■→More
