The Wapack Range of New Hampshire and Massachusetts photographed from Buck Hill.

I originally created this panorama for the documentary film I made last year. Until recently, I had only identified the major peaks that are visible in this image. This now identifies and labels all of the visible peaks of the Wapack Range, which is generally considered to start with Mount Watatic in Massachusetts and continue north to North Pack Monadnock in New Hampshire. There are also three Massachusetts peaks at the leftmost side of the image which are not considered part of the range, as well as Mount Monadnock, which towers above New Ipswich Mountain almost directly behind it. I have added labels. The view is generally looking north-west with a range of about 305 - 320 degrees.

In the foreground are the TV towers located in the Needham/Newtown Highlands. There is another cluster of four towers below North Pack which are just off I-95 in Waltham MA. Several buildings on the campus of Brandeis University are visible to the lower left of these towers.

From left to right, these are all of the peaks labeled in the image with altitude and distance measurements based on Google Earth:

Ja … und genau hier wird W. Ross #Ashby fast noch radikaler: Nicht Chaos zerstört Systeme, sondern der Verlust an notwendiger Varietät unter scheinbarer Ordnung. …

@molosovsky Tja, hätten #Wiener, #Ashby und Co nur mal die Demut und Geduld gehabt ihren Platz in der Philosophie zu suchen, wir würden die "Steuermannslehre" als angewandte Epistomologie kennen und hätten sie in anderen Wissenschaften genau so schnell integrieren können, wie auf der grüenen Wiese der aufkeimenden E-Technik.

Apparently there is a move afoot to rename Ashby BART "South Berkeley BART."

Well, in that case:

MacArthur = North Oakland
Rockridge = Very North Oakland
Fruitvale = East Oakland
Coliseum = Deep East Oakland
12th = South Oakland Center
19th = North Oakland Center
Lake Merritt = East Oakland Center
Bay Fair = South San Leandro
Powell = San Francisco Center
Civic Center = West San Francisco Center
Montgomery = East San Francisco Center
Embarcadero = East San Francisco
16th = South San Francisco Center
24th = South San Francisco, But Not The Separate City Called That
Glen Park = Southwest San Francisco
Balboa Park = More Southwest San Francisco
El Cerrito Plaza = El Cerrito del Sur

Coping with collaboration, communication, context, integration, interoperability, perspective, purpose, and the reality of the information dimension demands a transition from conceptual environments bounded by dyadic relations to those informed by triadic relations, especially the variety of triadic sign relations employed by pragmatic semiotics.

Along the lines of my first post on this topic I am presently concerned with the logical and mathematical requirements of dealing with constraints but when it comes to the constraints involved in communicating across cultural and disciplinary barriers I could recommend a paper Susan Awbrey and I wrote for a conference devoted to those very issues.
