S T A T E M E N T:
The language of visual art is accessible to most. The language of science is mathematics and has become inaccessible to most. We live in interesting times in which much of the most advanced and imaginative thought about our universe...about the very space and time dimensions...indeed about the very notion of dimension itself...is dangled in front of us as metaphor, but ultimately invisible to all but a few well versed in the language of mathematics. If language is the embodiment, the mirror, of who we are as sentient beings, then we need a language which bridges our divides (be it right brain-left brain, east or west) and brings together our innate sensibilities of the visual-physical, musical-mathematical and verbal-text based sensibilities. Such language will require a maximum simplification, a further distillation of universally accepted ideas of simple colored geometry combined with elementary notions of mathematics to break us through the hour-glass bottleneck...expanding out to realize the full richness of this other side. And this new language is accessible to all. Once past the initial pain, the simplicity and joy of relating the simple dimensions of a colored square to the multi-dimensions of a rich aggregate of multi-colored rectangles will amaze the child in you. Realizing that this new visual language is an accessible, working, hands-on metaphor for the entire universe will amaze the child in all of us. Enter |

Writings based on visual art, math, music and physics 2009-"GoMAS: The Geometry of Music, Art and Structure ...linking science, art and esthetics" ~ That simple geometric principles can be responsible for the manifestation of the multitudes of beauty, diversity and richness of Nature is further supported here in this paper. The Inverse-Square-Law (ISL), a simple geometric principle, is shown to be the common link between physics, chemistry, biology, and the science and esthetics of music and art. Nature has incorporated the ISL as the major game rule to building the cosmos. Our perception of pleasing form, color and sound is prophetically built into our sensory being, our biologic evolution, and our structural past. 2008-"The Conservation of SpaceTime".~The role of the Higgs, graviton and photon bosons in defining Dark Matter = Dark Energy (the inverse of) in the fractal Universe~ "Quantum Gravity ...by the book'" ~merging quantum mechanics with general relativity2007-"The History of the Universe - update - 'The Big Void'" ~A short, update supplement to "Dark Matter = Dark Energy (the inverse of): The Conservation of Spacetime by The Conservation of Force" and "The History of the Universe in Scalar Graphics." 2006-"The Butterfly Prime Determinant Number Array (DNA) ~conspicuous abstinence~" ~The role of the highly ordered positive space pattern of the odd non-primes in revealing the reverse, negative space pattern of the primes as a determined number array is revealed. "The Butterfly Prime Directive...~metamorphosis~". ~There is a logic behind the ordered and predictable pattern of prime numbers. 2005- "Butterfly Primes...let the beauty seep in". ~An ordered and predictable pattern for the prime numbers emerges. -"The LUFE Matrix: E=mc2...and then some".The focus is on energy. From Einstein's initial insight into the transformation between mass and energy, we now have a large number of similar transformations between energy and the other fundamental parameters of matter...i.e., charge and spin...and their activities within their space-time environments such as velocity and acceleration, frequency and temperature, momentum, pressure and force, potential difference, heat and work, etc.2004-"The History of the Universe in Scalar Graphics": (Simultaneous Birth of Black Holes and the Inflationary Universe at the onset of the Big Bang). A mostly graphical supplement to "Dark Matter = Dark Energy (the inverse of): The Conservation of Spacetime by The Conservation of Force". -"The LUFE Matrix: Infinite Dimensions ~a room with a view...within a room with a view...within a room with a view~." A new, speculative journey to account for the multiple dimensions that have informed The LUFE Matrix since its introduction in 1985. FAQ-graphic format. 2003-"Dark-Dark-Light: Dark Matter = Dark Energy (the inverse of): The Conservation of Spacetime by The Conservation of Force" -"The LUFE Matrix: the distillation of SI units into more fundamentally base units of space and time dimensions" (Short Title: "The Multi-dimensional LUFE Matrix" -"The LUFE Matrix Supplement: Examples and Proofs" 2001-Part II below, from 2000, was rewritten and recast for online publication as a three part series: Part 1: "PIN: Pattern in Number...from primes to DNA" A brief primer on visual patterns found in simple, well known number systems leading into the remarkable number magic and esthetic beauty of the DNA double helix (axial view) found in Part 2.GoDNA and continued in Part 3.SCoDNA. Part 2: "GoDNA: the Geometry of DNA (axial view) revealed" Which came first? The self replicating underlying geometry or the form itself with its dependence on enzymes, hydrogen bonding and a matching code of bases? Part 3: "SCoDNA: the Structure and Chemistry of DNA (axial view)" Extending GoDNA into the realm of structural detail and chemistry forming the composite design. 2000-"The Geometry of Music, Art and Structure…linking science, art and esthetics, Part II" self-published. The original material for this paper was presented (self-published) at the 1997 solo exhibition at the Montage Gallery, Portland, OR under the title "Patterns In Numbers: From Prime Numbers to DNA". 1998-"The Geometry of Music, Art and Structure…linking science, art and esthetics, Part I" presented at the Eighth International Conference on Engineering Computer Graphics and Descriptive Geometry in Austin, TX, sponsored and published by the International Society of Geometry and Graphics. The original material for this was presented at the 1996 solo exhibition at the Montage Gallery, Portland, OR.1991-"The LUFE Matrix: the distillation of SI units into more fundamentally base units of space and time dimension (Short Title: The Multi-dimensional LUFE Matrix)" with supplement, paper, self-published 1987-"Fundamental Constants of Nature: Mass", paper, self-published 1987-"Fundamental Constants of Nature: Ratios", paper, self-published 1987-"Fundamental Constants of Nature: Charge", paper, self-published 1987-"Fundamental Constants of Nature: The LUFE Matrix", paper, self-published 1986-"Mass Variation in the Electron by Photon Absorption & The Inverse Square Law", paper, self-published 1986-"Expose on Music, Color and the Inverse Square Law", paper, self-published 1985-(Online 2008)-"L.U.F.E.: The Layman’s Unified Field Expose" (a visual guide), textbook-manuscript, self-published |
