RM: On a different plane I am flying. Flight, whether of a bird or airplane,
is an often mentioned emergent property. So if I assign flight's reality
to x, which assignments to the components of y might yield the emergence
of flight?
Richard,
For my piece I'm still building boats in the basement root-cellars of logic,
so I'll not be uplifting you with any new theories of aerodynamics. Let's
just say that x is the flight of the bumblebee, which not to shine you on
appears to demand the emergence of some new height of virtuosity in any
medium that can carry it, and is often mentioned as a case where all
the king's measures and all the king's scores fail to account for
the living actuality of the live performance. I think I catch
the drift of that. Now, our personal best theory of how it's
done will be transcrypted in partial differential equations,
with differential coefficients that blur before my eyes in
all their jiffily rushing complexity, and so by the grace
of Lethe I'll just hint at the shape and flow of their
parody in the conventions of that Grimm Marchen style
as y_1, y_2, y_3, and by these three to say we play
at summing up the eternal infinity, if more in the
breach than in the observables.
