BREAKE THE ALGORYTHM ----- BLOW UP THE MANIFOLD

(1) an algorithm is an abstract diagram that emerges from the repetition of a process, an organization of time, space, labor, and operations: it is not a rule that is invented from above but emerges from below; (2) an algorithm is the division of this process into finite steps in order to perform and control it efficiently; (3) an algorithm is a solution to a problem, an invention that bootstraps beyond the constrains of the situation: any algorithm is a trick; (4) most importantly, an algorithm is an economic process, as it must employ the least amount of resources in terms of space, time, and energy, adapting to the limits of the situation.

so fucking dumb that some characters die by falling out of trees. like that is the one thing that cats are known for not doing

I knew he was the king of chronophotography, but until art historian Michael Lobel mentioned them on social media, I had no idea Etienne-Jules Marey also made sculptures.

Some he put in zoetropes to "reanimate" the images of pigeons or gulls in flight. Some, though, he just made as single contiguous forms, as close to the layered stop-action, single-frame images he pioneered.

study of "cheval blanc monté" by étienne-jules marey (1886)

Étienne-Jules Marey's chronophotographic gun was first made in 1882.[9] This instrument was capable of taking 12 consecutive frames a second, with all the frames recorded on the same picture. Using these pictures he studied horses, birds, dogs, sheep, donkeys, elephants, fish, microscopic creatures, molluscs, insects, reptiles, etc. Some call it Marey's "animated zoo". Marey also conducted the famous study about cats always landing on their feet. He conducted very similar studies with a chicken and a dog and found that they could do almost the same. [Wikipedia]

“The expression of offended dignity shown by the cat at the end of the first series indicates a want of interest in scientific investigation." 😂😂😂

How do cats always land on their feet? Scientists believed they use the dropper’s hand as a fulcrum until these images, captured at 12 frames per second, debunked that in 1894. More on the Falling Cat Problem here: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/photographs-of-a-falling-cat-1894
