New work:

The Structural Conditions for the Existence of a Universe.

A scale‑invariant meta‑architecture showing how identity, agency, and coherence emerge from negative possibility and operator‑exclusion — up to cosmological scale.

Ordinariness stranger, or: That’s my bag

A Sijo

What Do You See 341

For WDYS, Sadje offers us a photo by krzhck (Unsplash) of a person sitting outside at what looks like a normal backyard get-together, holding an iced coffee while wearing a brown paper bag over their whole head. In the background, a few other people stand in the sunny yard near outdoor furniture, making the strange hiding place feel both funny and a little sad.

As always, Sadje is eagerly awaiting our responses!

Sijo?

A Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line contains a pause near the middle, similar to a caesura, though the break need not be metrical. The first half of the line contains six to nine syllables; the second half should contain no fewer than five. Originally intended as songs, sijo can treat romantic, metaphysical, or spiritual themes. Whatever the subject, the first line introduces an idea or story, the second supplies a “turn,” and the third provides closure. Modern sijo are sometimes printed in six lines.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

Black holes and topological vortices in a discrete spacetime lattice.
This is not an animation.

I created a simulation where particle stability is maintained by internal field tension rather than hard coded rules. I didn't program any velocity increase the geometry itself is generating the motion.

Wide shut, or: Belonging to a name

A Sijo

What Do You See 340

For WDYS, Sadje offers us a photo by Amirreza Taqavi (Unsplash), taken in Mashhad, Iran, of a single hand reaching up from a field full of bright red poppies. In the distance, there are pale mountains and a soft sky. The hand has vine-like tattoos on the wrist, making it look almost connected to the plants around it.

As always, Sadje is eagerly awaiting our responses!
