Sicily February 2007 [PHOTOS]Right now: 'Collapse of the wave function' -- to the process of "...what it feels like from within experience." "...emergentism, which basically states that the interiority, or consciousness, of brain matter is an emergent property and a product of ordinary matter at a certain level of evolution." -- to the present "...The so-called observer is actually the participator, an integral part of the quantum system. The essence of the revelation is this: The quantum domain consists wholly of possibilities and probabilities, 'existing ' together in a kind of suspended animation. In quantum physics, these probabilities are described as a matrix of wave functions -- mathematical waves of probability. The remarkable thing is that any particular probability becomes an actuality only when observed. In quantum-speak, this is called the 'collapse of the wave function' -- one particular actuality is 'collapsed' out of many superimposed probability waves." (Radical Nature, Christian de Quincey).
EXCITING TIMES!

[LARGER VIEW] Astraea (with source materials around it. This was inspired by pages 9-16 in The Virgin in the Garden, by A.S. Byatt, "My Care is like my shaddow in the sunne / followes on the fliinge, flies when I pursue it..." The painting seeks to captures the images of Elizabeth I and Shakespeare.
