"The free flow of code is an increasingly important social and artistic force." - Spot Draves, PhD. When computers "sleep", a screen saver comes on... Electric Sheep is a free and open source distributed screen-saver that harnesses idle computers with the purpose of evolving and morphing fractal animations known as "sheep".

Projects: Open Source Meditation and OpenEEG

Friday, October 07, 2005 - 03:19 AM

Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin has used fMRI and electroencephalography (EEG) to image the brains of six Buddhist monks, during and outside of meditation. When Davidson asked the monks to induce a state of compassion in themselves, they showed a much greater shift toward left frontal brain activity than subjects untrained in meditation. A new project, OpenEEG helps to give resources to create low cost EEG devices and free software (GPL licensed) to go with it.

Some real open source fun... "If rock-paper-scissor is too simple for you, then you can try David Lovelace¬ís "Rock, Paper, Scissors-15" with 1.3 trillion permutation and 105 possible outcomes..." (from neatoram.com). Kaliya Hamlin (aka Identity Woman) even blogged the link we sent her... to check out the various permutations Click 'Read More!'

The library's destruction remains a mystery. The dream of rebuilding the Ancient Library of Alexandria and of reviving the legacy of that great center for learning has long enticed the imagination of intellectuals and scientists all over the world. It is now a reality.

News: Cellular Sounds from Automata

Wednesday, September 14, 2005 - 12:52 AM

WolframTones is based on a core discovery of Stephen Wolfram's A New Kind of Science:

that in the computational universe even extremely simple rules or programs can give behavior of great complexity.

Each composition is produced by running a program found by searching the computational universe, taking the pattern the program produces, and converting it to a musical score.

WolframTones uses a type of program known as a one-dimensional cellular automaton, or Wolfram automaton, studied by Stephen Wolfram since the early 1980s.
