It does not correspond to any dichotomy in the objective physical world. Light exerts pressure, and substances hot to the touch emit infrared light. It is just that the range of human receptors is too limited for them to register the tactile effect of light or the visual effect of moderate temperatures. Our problem is to determine what observations or experiences would cause the physicist to say that the objective physical world had split along the human sight-touch boundary, to say that the human sight-touch dichotomy was an unavoidable model of objective physical reality. Our discussion is not about perfectly transparent matter, or light reflection and emission in the absence of matter, or the dissociation of electromagnetic and inertial phenomena, or the fact that human sight registers light, while touch registers inertia, bulk modulus, thermal conduction, friction, adhesion, and so on. (However, these concepts may have to be introduced to complete our discussion.) Our discussion is about a change in the physicist's observations or experiences, such that the anomalous state of affairs would be an experimental analogue to the sight-touch dichotomy of philosophical subjectivism. Of course, philosophical subjectivism itself will not enter the discussion. diff --git a/essays/letters.tex b/essays/letters.tex index 7cc781e..9dcd533 100644 --- a/essays/letters.tex +++ b/essays/letters.tex @@ -1,5 +1,8 @@ \chapter{Letters} +\fancyhead{} \fancyfoot{} \fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\thepage} +\fancyhead[LE]{\textsc{Esthetics}} \fancyhead[RO]{\textit{Letters}} + \section{Letter from Terry Riley, Paris, to Henry Flynt, Cambridge, Mass., \\ dated 11/8/62} One day a little boy got up and looked at his toys, appraised them and decided they were of no value to him so he did them in.

It is the one activity which brings out the practical value of formal manipulations. Abstract games fit in perfectly with the tradition and rationale of pure mathematics; whereas they would not be appropriate in any other discipline. Pure mathematics is the one activity which can appropriately develop through innovations of a formalistic character. Precisely because pure mathematics does not have to be immediately practical, there is no intrinsic reason why it should adhere to the normal concept of logical truth. No harm is done if the mathematician chooses to play a game which is indeterminate by normal logical standards. All that matters is that the mathematician clearly specify the rules of his game, and that he not make claims for his results which are inconsistent with his rules. diff --git a/essays/photos.tex b/essays/photos.tex index 2b5e6a9..7bb8141 100644 --- a/essays/photos.tex +++ b/essays/photos.tex @@ -1,5 +1,8 @@ \chapter{Protest Photographs} +\fancyhead{} \fancyfoot{} \fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\thepage} +\fancyhead[LE]{\textsc{Esthetics}} \fancyhead[RO]{\textit{Protest Photographs}} + \photopage{img/nomoreart01}{2/22/1963}{Henry Flynt and Jack Smith demonstrate against Lincoln Center, February 22, 1963}{Tony Conrad} \photopage{img/nomoreart02}{2/22/1963}{Henry Flynt and Tony Conrad demonstrate against the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 22, 1963}{Jack Smith} diff --git a/essays/post_formalism_memories.tex b/essays/post_formalism_memories.tex index 73477a5..0c867a2 100644 --- a/essays/post_formalism_memories.tex +++ b/essays/post_formalism_memories.tex @@ -3,8 +3,12 @@ \chapter{Post-Formalism in Constructed Memories} + \section{Post-Formalist Mathematics} +\fancyhead{} \fancyfoot{} \fancyfoot[LE,RO]{\thepage} +\fancyhead[LE]{\textsc{Post-Formalism in Constructed Memories}} \fancyhead[RO]{\textit{Post-Formalist Mathematics}} + Over the last hundred years, a philosophy of pure mathematics has grown up which I prefer to call \enquote{formalism.} As Willard Quine says in the fourth section of his essay "Carnap and Logical Truth,' formalism was @@ -22,14 +26,18 @@ innovations.
