Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Making an artificial brain is not a part of artificial intelligence. It will be a revolutionary journey of mankind exploring a science where one cannot write an equation a material will vibrate like geometric shape and then those shapes will change to make decisions. Geometry of silence plays like a musical instrument to mimic a human brain; our thoughts imagination everything would be a 3D shape playing as music; composing music would be the brain’s singular job. For a century the Turing machine ruled human civilization; it was believed that irrespective of complexity all events add up linearly. This book is a thesis to explore the science of decision-making where events are 3D-geometric shapes events grow within and above never side by side. ​ The book documents inventions and discoveries in neuroscience computer science materials science mathematics and chemistry that explore the possibility of brain or universe as a time crystal. The philosophy of Turing the philosophy of membrane-based neuroscience and the philosophy of linear sequential thought process are challenged here by considering that a nested time crystal encompasses the entire conscious universe. Instead of an algorithm the pattern of maximum free will is generated mathematically and that very pattern is encoded in materials such that its natural vibration integrates random events exactly similar to the way nature does it in every remote corner of our universe. Find how an artificial brain avoids any necessity for algorithm or programming using the pattern of free will. | Nanobrain The Making of an Artificial Brain from a Time Crystal

Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

This book is about the invisible or subtle nature of food and farming and also about the nature of existence. Everything that we know (and do not know) about the physical world has a subtle counterpart which has been scarcely considered in modernist farming practice and research. If you think this book isn’t for you if it appears more important to attend to the pressing physical challenges the world is facing before having the luxury of turning to such subtleties then think again. For it could be precisely this worldview – the one prioritises the physical-material dimension of reality - that helped get us into this situation in the first place. Perhaps we need a different worldview to get us out? This book makes a foundational contribution to the discipline of Subtle Agroecologies a nexus of indigenous epistemologies multidisciplinary advances in wave-based and ethereal studies and the science of sustainable agriculture. Not a farming system in itself Subtle Agroecologies superimposes a non-material dimension upon existing materially-based agroecological farming systems. Bringing together 43 authors from 12 countries and five continents from the natural and social sciences as well as the arts and humanities this multi-contributed book introduces the discipline explaining its relevance and potential contribution to the field of Agroecology. Research into Subtle Agroecologies may be described as the systematic study of the nature of the invisible world as it relates to the practice of agriculture and to do this through adapting and innovating with research methods in particular with those of a more embodied nature with the overall purpose of bringing and maintaining balance and harmony. Such research is an open-minded inquiry its grounding being the lived experiences of humans working on and with the land over several thousand years to the present. By reclaiming and reinterpreting the perennial relationship between humans and nature the implications would revolutionise agriculture heralding a new wave of more sustainable farming techniques changing our whole relationship with nature to one of real collaboration rather than control and ultimately transforming ourselves. | Subtle Agroecologies Farming With the Hidden Half of Nature

Building Stones of Milan and Lombardy Volume 1: Buildings of Milan

Building Stones of Milan and Lombardy Volume 1: Buildings of Milan

Milan has played an important role in the Italian country since the Roman period. This importance is reflected also by the diffusion of stone architecture: a persisting trait of Milan architecture was the use of different stones in the same building. Milan lies in the middle of the alluvial plain of the Po far from the stone quarries; some waterways were dug out in order to supply the building stones from the surrounding territories. The study of stone as a building material was significant at the end of 19th century but then it was largely neglected by both architects and geologists. So it is significant to suggest a study about the stones employed to build in Milan (Volume 1) in relationship with a petrographic study about the features of the stones quarried in the whole Lombard territory (Volume 2). The present volume contains a record of Milanese edifices marking the different historical periods. Each edifice is described in a card containing: the building history the architect the kind of stone employed and subdivided according to the different parts of the building and the shape of stone elements. A particular investigation is addressed to the stones used during the 20th century; a great part of them were never used before in Milan (or in Lombardy). | Building Stones of Milan and Lombardy Volume 1: Buildings of Milan

So it is significant to suggest a study about the stones employed to build in Milan (Volume 1) in relationship with a petrographic study about the features of the stones quarried in the whole Lombard territory (Volume 2). Volume 2 contains the description of the features of the stones reported in Volume 1. These features include metamorphic and magmatic rocks of the Alpine area; sedimentary rocks and loose materials of the Prealpine area; sedimentary rocks of the Apennine area; and loose sediments of the Padania plain. Some stones coming from other northern Italian regions and used in Lombard architecture are also described. Each stone is described in a card containing commercial and historical names petrographic classification macroscopic features mineralogical composition microscopic features geological setting quarry sites transport to yards morphology of dressed elements and surface handworking use in architecture in the whole Lombard territory and abroad and decay morphologies. A particular investigation is addressed to the stones used during the 20th century; a great part of them were never used before in Milan and in Lombardy. | Building Stones of Milan and Lombardy Volume 2: Stones of Lombardy
