GUESS WHAT? ) Particle – mass Field – energy Information – entropy DIVORCED! -> EVOLUTION (FITTEST) of complexity entropy Y?

World as the Word: worth spreading? Information heading to future - reproduction is communication in time/space Creative writing - recombination increases enthropy Different medias -abiotic, biotic, postbiotic, virtual – Avatar, Matrix, Rabbit Hole City as adaptation/device

Hey, do you know where you coming from/going to? Fittest Best possible ) – Individual, group, species, biotic, noosphere? Further in time more advanced – Eastern non-doing vs. Western progress What is the unit of evolution? - ecosystem vs. individual What is the indicator of goodness of fit? - sustainable matter vs. levels of memetic dance

Who has better chances?

Da City Code Increased speed of evolution - abiotic – virtual (Ctrl-C – Ctrl-V) Urbanization -> New global force - Cities as noosphere – ecocapitals (Rozenberg) Backups – hysteresis -convergence and divergence Cities come and go, and transcend Limits of Growth - Humanity challenges R city challenges

Breakdance of Evolution Divergence/convergence – hysteresis Environmental karma: created and creates Probability distributions in East and West – no expectancy – Russian roulette, avos, halyava

Different cities – different ways Domain of Kshatriyas (warriors) - 3-4Kshatriyas – using power to sustain – administrative centers Domain of Brahmin (priests) - 4-5Brahmin – using ideas to sustain – think tanks Domain of Shudras (workmen) – 1-2Shudras – using matter to sustain – industrial centers Domain of Vaishyas (traders) – 2-3Vaishyas – using money to sustain – financial centers Historical, but in the global world theres…

Мой при-страстный взгляд 1. Тольятти - место, где человек находится в постоянной тренировке (как и вся страна) (историко-географически детерминировано, см. п.2). Тренировка не дает потерять уровень и скатиться в унылое, но, пока проходит неосознанно, сопряжена с физическими неприятностями, что отдельных индивидов подстегивает лениться и ныть. 2. Тольятти - место, где лес, река, горы и несколько климатических зон вместе с уникальным природным окружением сходятся вместе. Буквально полчаса - и ты уже в совсем другой атмосфере. При этом есть момент современного жесткого мегаполиса, в котором основные удобства (еда, вода, койка, базовый соцкультбыт) в наличии. 3. Тольятти – место, которое всем вышеперечисленным (и не только) производит чумовых людей. Людей, не всегда приятных или желанных, но способных дать любому левел ап в два счета) 4. Тольятти, где благодаря вышеперечисленному происходит много всего интересного. Лично у меня никогда не было проблемы, чем заняться, куда сходить... Были проблемы с мотивацией и временем, ну так это субъективно) 5. Все перечисленное никак не означает, что в Тольятти все прекрасно. Масса проблем, масса чумовых людей, выбравших сторону Осла, масса непонятностей, которые происходят. Ну так это и есть жизнь) Мне нравится)
