Fibonacci
Notes: Game on...on the radio...Astros and Angels...bottom of third...one down...Fletcher up...ground out...Trout up...and, Astros 5-0...fump...repeat of yesterday's game....final score on that one was Astros 11-2...line drive out...to top of fourth...123...to bottom of fourth...Upton up...Trout is in the DH slot bumping Ohtani to the bench...pop out...two down...Pujols up...ground out...'Angels retired on six pitches'...well, I got to posting comments to a thread about a ruined temple in India, and one thought stepped to another, woops...another home run for Astros...Astros 6-0...stepped to another thought, and I went to going on about the pine cone and the bag again...situla and thyrus...waterbucket and sprinkler...and, incidentally, I thought how a pine cone exhibits, like a sunflower, the Fibonacci sequence...123 after the home run...'just a ten pitch inning'...to bottom of fifth...and what has google done to my menu bars...cant find the 'new page'...new on the bar is a game add, and a news blurb...ctrl n...that does it...makes a new window...I thought cultural awareness of the Fibonacci sequence began with Fibonacci...commented as much...but on second thought, thought to check, and the sequence was known before!...and in a really weird but charming way...DP puts the Astros away in the top of the sixth...to bottom of sixth...so, a kind of before and after search ensues, as I'm wondering now when the sequence was discovered and part of some culture...

Fibonacci numbers are named after Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, later known as Fibonacci. They appear to have first arisen as early as 200 BC in work by Pingala on enumerating possible patterns of poetry formed from syllables of two lengths.

the Warangal temple clip (the Fort) is where my comments are...Angels made out...to top of seventh...Astros made out...Goodwin with one out double...Guerno up...Guerno accounted for the two runs in yesterday's game...

The Kakatiyas had a thing for public welfare. They rulers had built a chained tank system of over 5000 tanks. Tanks went along with temples, it was built as an act of charity by the ruler or nobles, and the responsibility of maintaining these tanks was handed over to the locals. Hyderabad alone had more than 700 major and minor water bodies well connected to each other through channels. Post Independence, due to migration and rapid unplanned urbanization, most water bodies vanished. Only a handful of them remain but in pathetic conditions.

the Warangal ruins are extensive, with a curious history...that bit for the irrigation collection...Angels make out...to top of eighth...ground out to Fletcher...Thais on first for Albert...Astros made out...to bottom of eighth...Trout up...

The story of Swayambhu temple goes like this: Sometime in the 12th century, farmers carrying their crops to Hanamkonda, which was the grain market, used to pass by this place. One day, wheel of a bullock cart got stuck in the mud. When people tried to pull out the wheel, a Shivalinga was revealed and hence the name Swayambhu. Which literally means born on its own, or something that is not created but reveals on its own. Our guide told us that there were 365 Shiva temples in the fort, one for each day of the year. Each with unique name denoting different aspects of Shiva. Today nothing but some broken pieces of those temples survive.

this place is near where diamonds were mined...the only place in the ancient world?...Trout an easy stand up double...Upton up...Simmons came up...don't know what happened...both made out?...Thais up batting for Pujols ..Thais K...to top of ninth...there are like thousands and thousands of temples in India...but they all have kind of the same look...so maybe I can get a handle on what they were/are about...one thought above is that they are closely connected with irrigation/agriculture, which is a fit with Angkor Watt over in Cambodia...neat thing about India is the cultures that built the temples are still extent, and use them!...somewhat like all the Judeo/Christian/Islam temples...it isn't like the ancients disappeared, more like they morphed...wanted to reach the mystery of the Indus valley cultures, and their script, which has yet to be translated...that for tomorrowmorrow, and beyond!...
quote
The name diamond is derived from the ancient Greek ἀδάμας (adámas), "proper", "unalterable", "unbreakable", "untamed", from ἀ- (a-), "un-" + δαμάω (damáō), "I overpower", "I tame".[141] Diamonds are thought to have been first recognized and mined in India, where significant alluvial deposits of the stone could be found many centuries ago along the rivers Penner, Krishna and Godavari. Diamonds have been known in India for at least 3,000 years but most likely 6,000 years.

123...to bottom of ninth...odd diamonds are made from just carbon, the self same element of 'carbon based life forms'...

At the center of the massive ship, V'Ger is revealed to be Voyager 6, a 20th-century Earth space probe believed lost in a black hole. The damaged probe was found by an alien race of living machines that interpreted its programming as instructions to learn all that can be learned and return that information to its creator. The machines upgraded the probe to fulfill its mission, and on its journey, the probe gathered so much knowledge that it achieved consciousness. Spock realizes that V'Ger lacks the ability to give itself a purpose other than its original mission; having learned what it could on its journey home, it finds its existence meaningless. Before transmitting all its information, V'Ger insists that the Creator come in person to finish the sequence. Everyone realizes humans are the Creator. Decker offers himself to V'Ger; he merges with the Ilia probe and V'Ger, creating a new form of life that disappears into another dimension. With Earth saved, Kirk directs Enterprise out to space for future missions.

if I remember right, V'Ger got it into its head to eradicate carbon based life forms, or maybe that was another movie...
quote
"Life as we know it is universally based on some combination of carbon compounds. But what if life exists based on another element?"
V'ger and its Ilia probe used the term carbon unit to describe the humanoid crew of the USS Enterprise. V'ger considered carbon units to be inferior, and not true lifeforms. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture) https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Carbon-based_lifeform

Goodwin with a triple...Ohtani up...I, diverted!...lol...but V'ger is a bit like my AI hero/villain in my work in progress story...kind of a common 'character' in sci fi!...and a K...ball game over...Astros 6-2...
