long time no see

it has been a while since i've posted. a lot of things has changed and since i got a pc again i would say i'm back on track. a little polishing here and there would be appropriate. not to mention a little maturity would do a lot of good.

so let's open the store, make some good changes, and push hard.

i really don't know what i'm talking about since its already 4am and i'm quite dizzy. i just hope and pray that i'll know what i have to do.

cheers!

btw: for now, thinking of creating a logo, getting into graphics, using inkscape for graphics and gimp for photo manipulation and hoping i'll do justice.

ps: darn't i need to know how to type without looking at the keyboard!

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 21: No Theory of Everything

  The Most Seductive Dream There is a dream that haunts physics, philosophy, and the human imagination itself: one equation. One framework. One truth that explains everything. Einstein spent the last decades of his life searching for it, a unified field theory that would reconcile gravity with electromagnetism, that would show all forces as manifestations of a single underlying reality. He failed, but the dream didn't die. String theory arose promising eleven dimensions and one fundamental entity, vibrating strings from which all particles and forces emerge. Loop quantum gravity offered another path. M-theory suggested a framework encompassing all frameworks. The quest continues. Physicists still seek the Theory of Everything (TOE) the final equation that would subsume quantum mechanics and relativity, explain all particles and forces, predict all phenomena. The dream is powerful because it promises ultimate understanding. No more mysteries. No more competing frameworks. No more b...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 16: Human Psychology

  The Divided Self Physics stratifies cleanly—quantum here, classical there, clear boundaries. Consciousness stratifies across perspective—neural observable from outside, experiential accessible from inside. But human psychology stratifies within a single person, within a single moment, creating something we all experience but rarely understand: internal conflict . You know you should exercise, but you don't feel like it. You want dessert, even though you're trying to eat healthily. You believe honesty is important, yet you find yourself lying. You're drawn to someone you know is wrong for you. You procrastinate on important work while doing trivial tasks. You hold contradictory beliefs, pursue incompatible goals, feel pulled in opposite directions. Standard psychology treats this as a problem to solve. Cognitive dissonance theory says we're motivated to eliminate contradictions. Rational choice theory says we should maximize consistent utility. Self-control research fr...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 8: Scales

  The Microscope Analogy Imagine looking at a painting. Stand close, inches from the canvas and you see individual brushstrokes, texture, the physical application of paint. Step back a few feet, and you see the image: a face, a landscape, a composition. Step back further, across the room, and you see how the painting relates to its frame, the wall, the space it occupies. Step back outside the building, and the painting disappears entirely into the larger context of the museum, the city, the culture. Same painting. Different scales of observation. And at each scale, different features become visible while others disappear. The brushstrokes that dominated up close are invisible from across the room. The composition that emerged at medium distance fragments into meaningless marks up close. Neither view is "wrong". They're both accurate descriptions of what's observable at that scale. This is what scale means in contextual stratification: the resolution of observation, th...
