Thinking Space Syntax

More From Jerry Garcia

You have to be ready, and also you have to discard notions that are fondly held by a lot of musicians, about sequences and notes and about scales and musical systems as a whole. if you think of music as a language, the space part is where you throw out all the syntax.
Thinking Space Musical
It seemed to a number of philosophers of language, myself included, that we should attempt to achieve a unification of chomsky's syntax, with the results of the researches that were going on in semantics and pragmatics. i believe that this effort has proven to be a failure. though chomsky did indeed revolutionize the subject of linguistics, it is not at all clear, at the end the century, what the solid results of this revolution are. as far as i can tell there is not a single rule of syntax that all, or even most, competent linguists are prepared to agree is a rule.
Believe Numbers Effort
Syntax and vocabulary are overwhelming constraints --the rules that run us. language is using us to talk --we think we're using the language, but language is doing the thinking, we're its slavish agents.

Space expands or contracts in the tensions and functions through which it exists. space is not a static, inert thing. space is alive; space is dynamic; space is imbued with movement expressed by forces and counterforces; space vibrates and resounds with color, light and form in the rhythm of life.
Light Rhythm Of Life Color
But as van casually directed the searchlight of backthought into that maze of the past where the mirror-lined narrow paths not only took different turns, but used different levels (as a mule-drawn cart passes under the arch of a viaduct along which a motor skims by), he found himself tackling, in still vague and idle fashion, the science that was to obsess his mature years - problems of space and time, space versus time, time-twisted space, space as time, time as space - and space breaking away from time, in the final tragic triumph of human cogitation: i am because i die.

What's important to a fashion designer? it's much more than learning how to make clothes. in fact, that merely makes you a dressmaker. it doesn't make you into a fashion designer.
