It is also interesting to note that the Olmec seem to have felt a kind of fascination for those individuals affected by deformities as shown in their representations. Lacking scientific knowledge, it is possible that all sorts of mystical concepts were used to evaluate or explain deformities. This type of behavior was also characteristic of later cultures and was commented upon by the Spaniards who found the emperor Montezuma surrounded by hunchbacks and dwarfs. The Olmec left a generous number of figurines representing different kinds of deformities, such as dwarfs, hunchbacks, and even indi­viduals with leper-like characteristics.

Notes:...Game on...on the radio...Royals at Angels...Royal 3, Angels 1...bottom of sixth...Ward waps a lead off home run...and ties it up...Royals 2, Angels 2...Trout up...and Trout waps a home run...Angels 3-2...browsing, I happened on a Peruvian modern artist who has a show of her paintings that are a take on the Moche ceramic drawings-the Lime Bean warriors some of them..."back to back to back"...Ohtani waps a home run too!...Royals 2, Angels 4...Renfroe up...Royal hit one too, top of seventh...Royals 3, Angels 4...I've gone on about the Olmec Growl before, and happened on Vicky Arana's Moche paintings, and noted the growls!...they're a takes on the originals, but faithful to them in details, like the growl...bottom of eighth...Trout with double...Ohtani legs out an infield single...runners at corners, no outs...considering "Lacking scientific knowledge, it is possible that all sorts of mystical concepts..."...that's kind of an understatement of the perplexed ancients pre occupations!...where Einstein/Newton would ponder the Fall of an Apple, and do an exegesis, explanatory elaboration, using the scientific principle, birthing modern science and the atomic age, the ancients considered Eve handing Adam THE apple, and went off...the rest history...the Olmec figurines have Downes syndrome, readsaid...and the Moche ceramics have all kinds of handicap features, deformities caused by disease too...these are not simple things to understand..."Trout makes the catch, and the ball game is over!"...put a halo over this one...Royals 3, Angels 4...

In Taoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.

Notes: game on...on the radio,,,Home Run for Hunter Renfroe!...bottom of fourth...Royals 3, Angels 2...Royals at Angels....baseball announcers reiterate!...back aways, I noted that a way to do life drawing is watch baseball...the players assume the same postures over and over, so their moving isn't a problem!...it's the very same with the announcers speaking, the crowd cheering, talking...bird species have one call, and one call only, sorta...baseball, elaborate as it is, is one song...maybe that is what Graves means with his one story...I dunno...I've become proficient umpiring softball to the point of 'ritual"...all my mechanics "on cue"...which is what the craft of umpiring demands!...I'm very low key, undemanding, which encourages a kinda superficial sloppiness...but I've had to acquire the traits of umpiring: dusting off and polishing my shoes before each game, putting a pleat in my pants, turning my upraised fist inward towards my ear, 'the hammer" strike!...and then of all things, the bow and arrow, 'strike three"!...hmmph...Artemis...emblem of Artemis is the bow and arrow, she's the Huntress, aaand, the crescent of the crescent moon resembles a bow, sooo, the Moon as emblem of Artemis...as often as I've gazed at van Gogh's Starry Night, I missed admiring the crescent moon up in the top right corner...oh, Trout hits a home run...bottom of fifth...Royals 3, Angels 4...reading about it I was trying to picture it, seeing the yin yang thing in the middle as the Moon...the interlocked swirls...Ohtani long fly out...hmmph...welp, it's the swirls I'm after, the step fret triangle...the frenetic brush strokes are seen in van Gogh's drawing strokes too with charcoal and such...other artists use the method...I attempt it...kinda neat...the Impressionists use it for paint strokes...in and of themselves, the strokes are a motif...kinda sloppy...leastwise the curators of the French Salon thought as much...but that changed...anyway, back a long ways, I was proud of myself for figuring out two spirals together represent the passage of a year...the days growing long, then shorter...that could be the Moon too!...the phases of the Moon...the famous Yin Yang symbol is the phases of the moon...the motif often has a white dot on the dark side, and dark spot on the white side...New Moon and Dark Moon...Royals tie it up...Royals 4, Angels 4...and then Royals 6, Angels 4, aaand then Royals 6, Angels 5...Renfroe with a second home run!...and another Angel run comes across...Royals 6, Angels 6...I didn't book mark it, but while browsing I happened on a statue of Confucius with Greek Keys, paired, along the border of his robe...Chinese meander...bottom of seventh...Ohtani up...Trout just struck out...Ohtani pops out...ancient China is so full of motifs, symbols, and talk about them...too much...metaphysics...the bit of textile is from the Wari/Huari...two Greek Keys inverse...our Ears!...Einstein noted that just considering really simple things, can lead on to searching up really complicated stuff...metaphysics/physics...the spirals of our ears is to focus sound vibrations in the air...our nose shape for scents...Renfroe with a lead off double....bottom of ?...two outs...home run...:"outa here!...Matt Thaiss two run knock...Royals 6. Angels 8...bottom of eighth!...Terry has moments...bit sloppy accidentally...to top of ninth...hit by pitch...lead off runner on...oh, a Home Run by the Royals...over the yellow line?...review...a double...one run scored...runner on third...weird ruling..."error on the throw"...one down...base hit...Royals 8, Angels 8...bases loaded...Royals 11, Angels 8...to bottom of ninth..,how many sounds there are!...how many scents!!!...Trout up...K...Ohtani up...ground out..."and the ballgame is over"...

“Your visual system is in some way hardwired to understand fractals,” said Taylor. “The stress-reduction is triggered by a physiological resonance that occurs when the fractal structure of the eye matches that of the fractal image being viewed.” If a scene is too complicated, like a city intersection, we can’t easily take it all in, and that in turn leads to some discomfort, even if subconsciously. It makes sense that our visual cortex would feel most at home among the most common natural features we evolved alongside. So perhaps part of our comfort in nature derives from fluent visual processing.

... ... ...

Taylor was curious to know if the fractals in the Pollocks might explain why people were so drawn to them, as well as to things such as pulsating screensavers and stoner light shows at the planetarium. Could great works of art really be reduced to some nonlinear equations? Only a physicist would ask.

... ... ...

If strange things happen where she is,
So that men say that graves open
And the dead walk, or that futurity
Becomes a womb and the unborn are shed,
Such portents are not to be wondered at,
Being tourbillions in Time made
By the strong pulling of her bladed mind
Through that ever-reluctant element.

“One of the most fascinating parts of science is how one can explain so many things as the same thing, happening on different scales in the Universe,” says Beattie. “Turbulence ends up being ‘that’ thing in the Universe – it is absolutely ubiquitous in across many of the scales of the Universe, both in space and in time.”

Though loving and just, she is ruthless. Her symbol is the double-axe–consisting of two moon-like blades, one crescent, one decrescent, set back to back and fitted with a haft. The crescent blade represents blessing, increase, joy; the decrescent blade represents cursing, plague and sorrow that punish human folly and disorder. The Muse-poets have always recognized these two blades: poetry proper is the constructive side of their profession, satire the destructive side. (Robert Graves, “The White Goddess: a talk, New York, 1957” presented as Appendix B in The White Goddess, edited by Grevel Lindop).
