TABLE OF CONTENTS 7 FOREWORD Kit Son Lee 9 GLOSSARY 159 REFERENCES 163 Readings 221 Arts 257 Websites 269 Softwares & Hardwares 283 Games 305 LEXICONS 322 SIGNATURES 324 COLOPHON FOREWORD Kit Son Lee Manual accompanies CTRL SHIFT as its user manual. Collected here are the inputs that led to the output presented in the other book, the way computers receive inputs to generate outputs. The inputs in this volume together provide insight into CTRL SHIFT’s operations, thereby fulfilling Manual’s role as a user You are here manual. These conceits are extensions of CTRL SHIFT’s endeavor to model a computer (see CTRL SHIFT, pg 11). Manual is itself a model; it functions as a user manual but is not in actuality a user manual. User manuals typically instruct the reader on using the device in the box, but Manual is not meant to be prescriptive. Where other books relegate termi­­- nology, references, and lexicons to back matter, Manual instead presents them as main body content. This distinction is exaggerated further through the use of large type and illustrative imagery. Manual declares itself to be a book in its own right. A reader can therefore choose to read only this book. The inputs need not be tied to the outputs in CTRL SHIFT. This decoupling is an affordance of 7 a book that models a user manual alongside a book that models a computer. Their relationship can be reconfigured to break the directives of its referrants. GLOSSARY Additionally, the inputs need not be tied to the author of the outputs: me. The works in CTRL SHIFT are the results of my processing; the inputs are mediated by my understanding or lack thereof. Manual was compiled with the hope that its readers will approach the content with their own frameworks, perspectives, and ways of knowing, without the threat of my interpellation. To this end, all of the images and the vast majority of the words in Manual are not mine. They are offered as I initially encoun- tered them—in Wikipedia articles, Google searches, dictionaries, and source materials. That is why this section is a foreword and not a preface—a preface is written by the author of a book, while a foreword is algorithm closed system DMZ written by someone else.

Chaos magic holds a post- modernist skepticism concerning the existence or knowability of objective truth. Chaos magicians subsequently treat belief as a tool, often creating their own idiosyncratic magical systems and frequently borrowing from other magical traditions, religious movements, popular culture and various strands of philosophy. 24 Glossary 25 CHAOS CHAOTIC THEORY MAP (mathematics) A branch of mathematics focusing on the study of chaos—dynami- cal systems whose apparently random states of disorder and irregularities are actually gov- (mathematics) erned by underlying patterns and A map (evolution function) that deterministic laws that are highly exhibits some sort of chaotic sensitive to initial conditions. behavior. 26 Glossary 27 CHIMERA (in Greek mythology) A fire-breathing female monster with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a serpent’s tail.

  • Assessment of Options for Handling Full Unicode Character Encodings in MARC21 a Study for the Library of Congress
    1 Assessment of Options for Handling Full Unicode Character Encodings in MARC21 A Study for the Library of Congress Part 1: New Scripts Jack Cain Senior Consultant Trylus Computing, Toronto 1 Purpose This assessment intends to study the issues and make recommendations on the possible expansion of the character set repertoire for bibliographic records in MARC21 format. 1.1 “Encoding Scheme” vs. “Repertoire” An encoding scheme contains codes by which characters are represented in computer memory. These codes are organized according to a certain methodology called an encoding scheme. The list of all characters so encoded is referred to as the “repertoire” of characters in the given encoding schemes. For example, ASCII is one encoding scheme, perhaps the one best known to the average non-technical person in North America. “A”, “B”, & “C” are three characters in the repertoire of this encoding scheme. These three characters are assigned encodings 41, 42 & 43 in ASCII (expressed here in hexadecimal). 1.2 MARC8 "MARC8" is the term commonly used to refer both to the encoding scheme and its repertoire as used in MARC records up to 1998. The ‘8’ refers to the fact that, unlike Unicode which is a multi-byte per character code set, the MARC8 encoding scheme is principally made up of multiple one byte tables in which each character is encoded using a single 8 bit byte. (It also includes the EACC set which actually uses fixed length 3 bytes per character.) (For details on MARC8 and its specifications see: http://www.loc.gov/marc/.) MARC8 was introduced around 1968 and was initially limited to essentially Latin script only.

  • Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3
    Notes Chapter 1 1. The various threads of the critical analysis of technology are commonly referred to as “science and technology studies” and include the social shaping of technol- ogy, the social construction of technology, and actor-network theory (see, for example, MacKenzie 1996; MacKenzie and Wajcman 1999; Law and Hassard 1999; Latour 2005; and Bijker, Hughes, and Pinch 1989). Chapter 2 1. Since its inaugural issue, Wired has christened McLuhan as its “patron saint.” Chapter 3 1. The article later appeared in an extended book form with the same title (1998). References in the chapter refer to book pages. 2. Throughout this book emphasis is always in the original, unless specified otherwise. 3. By arguing that the digital discourse constructs individual nodes as irrational, I do not mean that the individual nodes are constructed as decidedly antirational, but simply that they are devoid of system-wide, big-picture, theoretical, and abstract rationality. 4. It is worthwhile to point out the rhetorical tool used here in order to legitimize the idea of chaos. It is reminiscent of a joke about a borrowed kettle evoked by Freud (1963)—and recently retold by Žižek (2005)—to account for the nature of logic in dreams. In the joke, the kettle owner accuses his friend of returning the kettle damaged, an accusation to which the friend replies, “I have never borrowed your kettle; I retuned it to you unbroken; it was already broken when I borrowed it.” In a similar fashion, Kelly suggests flux, chaos, and churn- ing (along with their corollary social effects of instability and unpredictability) should not be opposed to or mitigated for three reasons: this cannot be done (flux in the network economy is inevitable; a transfer of a natural phenomenon into the social realm through network technology), it is better not to do it (flux is benevolent, yielding good results for everyone); and it is dangerous to do it (since it will result in knocking the system out of its self-regulating, natural imbalance).

WE CAN TRAIN OURSELVES TO FIND THE GEOMETRY in everyday objects and in works of art. Look carefully at the image above and identify the different, lines, shapes, and forms of both GAlexander Calder’s sculpture and the architecture of LACMA’s built environ- ment. What is the proportion of the artwork to the buildings? What types of balance do you see? Following are images of artworks from LACMA’s collection. As you explore these works, look for the lines, seek the shapes, find the patterns, and exercise your problem-solving skills. Use or adapt the discussion questions to your students’ learning styles and abilities. 1 Language of the Visual Arts and Geometry __________________________________________________________________________________________________ LINE, SHAPE, FORM, PATTERN, SYMMETRY, SCALE, AND PROPORTION ARE THE BUILDING blocks of both art and math. Geometry offers the most obvious connection between the two disciplines. Both art and math involve drawing and the use of shapes and forms, as well as an understanding of spatial concepts, two and three dimensions, measurement, estimation, and pattern. Many of these concepts are evident in an artwork’s composition, how the artist uses the elements of art and applies the principles of design. Problem-solving skills such as visualization and spatial reasoning are also important for artists and professionals in math, science, and technology.

  • L2/14-274 Title: Proposed Math-Class Assignments for UTR #25
    L2/14-274 Title: Proposed Math-Class Assignments for UTR #25 Revision 14 Source: Laurențiu Iancu and Murray Sargent III – Microsoft Corporation Status: Individual contribution Action: For consideration by the Unicode Technical Committee Date: 2014-10-24 1. Introduction Revision 13 of UTR #25 [UTR25], published in April 2012, corresponds to Unicode Version 6.1 [TUS61]. As of October 2014, Revision 14 is in preparation, to update UTR #25 and its data files to the character repertoire of Unicode Version 7.0 [TUS70]. This document compiles a list of characters proposed to be assigned mathematical classes in Revision 14 of UTR #25. In this document, the term math-class is being used to refer to the character classification in UTR #25. While functionally similar to a UCD character property, math-class is applicable only within the scope of UTR #25. Math-class is different from the UCD binary character property Math [UAX44]. The relation between Math and math-class is that the set of characters with the property Math=Yes is a proper subset of the set of characters assigned any math-class value in UTR #25. As of Revision 13, the set relation between Math and math-class is invalidated by the collection of Arabic mathematical alphabetic symbols in the range U+1EE00 – U+1EEFF. This is a known issue [14-052], al- ready discussed by the UTC [138-C12 in 14-026]. Once those symbols are added to the UTR #25 data files, the set relation will be restored. This document proposes only UTR #25 math-class values, and not any UCD Math property values.

  • The Case of Basic Geometric Shapes
    International Journal of Progressive Education, Volume 15 Number 3, 2019 © 2019 INASED Children’s Geometric Understanding through Digital Activities: The Case of Basic Geometric Shapes Bilal Özçakır i Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Ahmet Sami Konca ii Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Nihat Arıkan iii Kırşehir Ahi Evran University Abstract Early mathematics education bases a foundation of academic success in mathematics for higher grades. Studies show that introducing mathematical contents in preschool level is a strong predictor of success in mathematics for children during their progress in other school levels. Digital technologies can support children’s learning mathematical concepts by means of the exploration and the manipulation of concrete representations. Therefore, digital activities provide opportunities for children to engage with experimental mathematics. In this study, the effects of digital learning tools on learning about geometric shapes in early childhood education were investigated. Hence, this study aimed to investigate children progresses on digital learning activities in terms of recognition and discrimination of basic geometric shapes. Participants of the study were six children from a kindergarten in Kırşehir, Turkey. Six digital learning activities were engaged by children with tablets about four weeks in learning settings. Task-based interview sessions were handled in this study. Results of this study show that these series of activities helped children to achieve higher cognitive levels. They improved their understanding through digital activities.

  • RISD Graduate Studies Term
    Experimental Publishing Studio NewHive version of this syllabus here ​ Dept: RISD Graduate Studies Term: Spring 2015 Course number: GRAD-206G-01 Classroom: AUD 522 Days / time: Wednesday 1:10PM — 6:10PM Instructor: Paul Soulellis [email protected] Office hours: By appointment Course Description Publishing has never been a fixed notion. “What is publishing today?” remains a relevant inquiry, but with an expanding field of response, as platforms, channels and modes of production mutate and multiply. Let’s begin with “the post,” exposing its origins as a physical note publicly nailed to a piece of wood. Its descendents persist today, plainly visible on the wall, in the feed and in the stream as traces of a deeper history of documents — the scriptural economy. Is posting (always) publishing? We’ll examine substrate, blankness and the possibility of saying nothing as a post-media publishing strategy. And as certain legacies recede (privacy, authorship, copyright), how is publishing still “making public?” Let’s unpack (and entangle) these and other ways to explore the public circulation of work in a post-digital space. We’ll draw trajectories to and from the emergence of the networked artist in the 20th century, into the last twenty years, and particularly around the last two, as self-publishing becomes more and more inseparable from the artist’s ambient practice (and work) itself. The semester will be devoted to the creation of our own “performing publishing” studio, disseminating work as a highly diffused, ongoing performance, rather than discrete events. The development of publishing manifestos and projects, working in public, research-based exploration, non-traditional tools and platforms, experimentation and collaboration will be encouraged.

  • Political Conflict and Power Sharing in the Origins of Modern Colombia
    Political Conflict and Power Sharing in the Origins of Modern Colombia Sebastián Mazzuca and James A. Robinson Colombia has not always been a violent country. In fact, for the first half of the twentieth century, Colombia was one of the most peaceful countries in Latin America, standing out in the region as a highly stable and competitive bipartisan democracy. When faced with the critical test for political stability in that epoch, the Great Depression of 1930, Colombia was the only big country in South America in which military interventions were not even considered. While an armed coup interrupted Argentina’s until then steady path to democracy, and Getulio Vargas installed the first modern dictatorship in Brazil, Colombia cele brated elections as scheduled. Moreover, the ruling party lost the contest, did not make any move to cling to power, and calmly transferred power to the opposition. However, Colombia was not born peaceful. That half-century of peaceful political existence was a major novelty in Colombian history. Colombia’s nine- teenth century was politically chaotic even by Hispanic American standards: the record includes nine national civil wars, dozens of local revolts and mutinies, material destruction equivalent to the loss of several years of economic output, and at least 250,000 deaths due to political violence. How did Colombia make the transition from political chaos to political order? What were the causes of conflict before the turn of the century, and what were the bases of internal peace after it? The emergence of order in Colombia was temporally correlated with a major transformation of political institutions: the introduction of special mechanisms for power sharing between Liberals and Conservatives, Colombia’s two dominant political forces.
