The Next 100 Years of Yukawa’s Dream” Masatoshi Murase Welcome to this international and interdisciplinary symposium on “What is Life?” Although the topic of “What is Life?” seems to be very popular and has attracted so many people including specialists and non-specialists, there are little chances to discuss such a topic with strong emphasis on making bridges among different disciplines such as physics, biology, psychology, mathematics, computer science, neuroscience, environmental science, economics, philosophy, religion, and even arts. In this sense, the present symposium should provide the most attractive and challenging program for all of us. The late professor Hideki Yukawa was born in the year 1907. This year 2007, therefore, happens to be a centennial of Yukawa’s birth. Indeed, Yukawa has been known as a theoretical physicist who got the first Nobel Prize as Japanese after the World War II. Yukawa, however, had been very interested in life and mind as he introduced the famous Schrodinger’s book on “What is Life?” to Japan. He had studied not only the Western Science, but also Eastern Philosophy. Such a wide range of his background would be extremely important for developing his original theory of meson. Likewise, to attack the long-lasting problem of “What is Life?” we must have a synthetic view by integrating quite diverse disciplines as I introduced in this symposium. Although it is very difficult to get a final answer to this problem, I believe that we can contribute to successful advancement towards modern syntheses. We are planning to publish the proceedings of this symposium in 2008 from the journal of Progress of Theoretical Physics: Supplement “What is Life? The Next 100 Years of Yukawa’s Dream”. Most of all the lectures will be incorporated in this volume. In addition, Kyoto University’s Open Oct. 15 (Mon) 9:00-9:15 Course Ware will distribute visual data of some of the lectures over the world through the web-site: http://ocw.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/index.htm. We hope that such efforts about distributing the results of our present symposium will produce almost infinite effects in the future. Fortunately, this symposium is sponsored by Kyoto University the 21st Century COE Program “Center of Diversity and Universality in Physics”, The Kyoto University Foundation, and Grant-in-Aid for “Interdisciplinary and Advanced Study” from President, Professor Kazuo Oike, of Kyoto University. It is also co-sponsored by Nishinomiya City, Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics, International Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter, and National Science Foundation. The symposium is further co-sponsored by the following Institutes and Centers of Kyoto University: San-sai Gakurin, Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies, Bioinformatics Center, Institute for Chemical Research, Center for Ecological Research, Primate Research Institute, Institute of Economic Research, Kokoro Research Center, and Kyoto-U Open Course Ware. We would be very grateful for these extraordinary supports. ******************************** Masatoshi Murase Chair Organizing Committee of Nishinomiya-Yukawa International & Interdisciplinary Symposium 2007 on “What is Life?

In evolutionary biology, comparative philology, and historical linguistics researchers have repetitively invented a set of rules for building phylogenetic trees from data on organisms, manuscripts, or languages. All these sciences have in common the basic features of historical sciences ("palaetiology" sensu William Whewell). Estimating evolutionary history searches

If you've read the book and want more references, or if you want information about how the writing of the novel, then you'll enjoy this. Blurbs and Reviews. "A delightful book, one that carries us through the sixteenth-century picture-plane at extraordinary angles, illuminating Bruegel, his art and his world, with warmth and candor." ----- William Gibson, author of Pattern Recognition. "What possesses a popular science fiction writer to write a historical novel about a sixteenth-century Flemish painter enamored of peasant ways? Unbridled fascination with the depiction of worlds real and imagined. Rucker's keen insights into Peter Bruegel's spellbinding and politically subversive work underpin this animated, suspenseful, and affecting tale, a step up from Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring (2000). Biographical information about Bruegel is scant, but Rucker's sense that the painter was lively, compassionate, courageous, and determined feels right, and the characters Rucker invents to flesh out Bruegel's violent and precarious universe are equally compelling, especially the cultured mapmaker Abraham Ortelius, who is so careful to conceal his homosexuality; the sexy and volatile half-Native American, Williblad Cheroo, and Bruegel's smart, saucy wife.

  • Transreal Trilogy Rudy Rucker
    Transreal Trilogy The Secret of Life White Light Saucer Wisdom Rudy Rucker Transreal Books Los Gatos, California www.transrealbooks.com PREFACE Transrealism What is “transrealism”? Transmuting your ordinary life into sci- ence fiction. I came up with the word transreal after seeing the phrase “transcendental autobiography” in a blurb on the cover of Phillip K. Dick’s A Scanner Darkly. Dick was, of course, a quintes- sentially transreal author. And my favorite SF writer Robert Sheckley was another. Early in my writing career, my friend Greg Gibson said, “It would be great to write science fiction and have it be about your everyday life.” I took that to heart. Using myself and my friends as characters in my science-fiction novels appealed to me. This trick had a beatnik tinge to it, and it made the books easier for me to write. In 1983, I wrote, “A Transrealist Manifesto.” A young man’s im- passioned proclamation. It appeared in the Bulletin of the Science Fiction Writers of America. I’m reprinting it here, right after the Preface. Over the years, the notion of transrealism has achieved some currency in SF criticism, appearing as a Wikipedia entry and in the title of a book by the writer/critic Damien Broderick: Transrealist Fiction. Are all of my novels transreal? Not in the strongest sense of the word. I wouldn’t want to cast my friends and family into each of my works—as if I were some Ingmar Bergman continually making movies with the same little troupe of actors/family/friends. My troupe would get tired of this, and so would my readers.
