This is the first time I've seen this Columbine flower, and in beautiful red too:-)
Judgement of Solomon, as portrayed by ‘pygmies’. Aristotle and Socrates, left, regarding Solomon, at the right, who sits in judgement atop the dais. The baby is stretched out on a round wooden table, held down by - possibly - the false mother; a Roman soldier readies his sword to cut the baby in half, while the real mother pleads with Solomon.
This is, I believe, the first depiction in Roman art of a scene from the Hebrew bible, and later, the Christian Old Testament. The owner of the house was almost certainly not either Christian nor Jewish, as it’s unlikely that anyone from either of those groups would have had this satirical scene painted in their home.
Tales of the short-statured Pygmies had been around since Herodotus and became more prevalent in Roman art after Egypt was folded into the empire. We can consider this part of a large corpus of ‘Nilotic’ art.

The work at Oxford North Junction is not fully complete, despite the Chiltern Oxford - Marylebone services starting a while ago. Taken from the Aristotle footbridge. The locals will curse Network Rail for as long as they have breath, to get to the allotments the other side of the railway, there used to be a foot crossing (padlock code 1865, the Oxford STD code). However, that was closed and now they have to trundle their wheelbarrows over the footbridge, not an easy task.

At the centre of the "School of Athens", perhaps Raphael's most famous fresco, are two figures striding forward. Plato is depicted in old age (with Leonardo da Vinci's face). Beside him is Aristotle, a younger man.
Plato's right hand points upwards and he holds ‘Timaeus’, his book on the formation of the universe and an explanation of its order and beauty. Aristotle's right hand is reaching forward, also with a book; 'Ethics', his treatise on ethical theory and living a good life.
Every detail of this painting has been studied and speculated about. The two philosophers hand gestures have been interpreted differently, but generally they are seen to indicate the difference of approach of their two philosophical schools.
Aristotle's blue and brown robes are said by some to represent the two elements water and earth; while Plato's white and red represent air and fire.
The frescoes in the Stanza della Segnatura are said to be the first by Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (Raphael) in the Vatican and were completed between 1508 and 1511. They are the artist's most famous and most admired frescoes.

Computer Mirror Image: "THE BLUE BUTTERFLY IS 33YO NOW"
The picture "Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2" made by Marcel Duchamp in 1912,
is widely regarded as a Modernist classic and has become one of the most famous of its time
Using the computer program Photoshop, we can see from the picture a face to appear.
How is it made ?
Use a Photoshop computer-program with 2 layers.
1e Layer : picture "Nude Descending a Staircase".
2e Layer : negative Mirror picture "Nude Descending a Staircase".
Use the function DIFFERENCE between the layers.
This new "Work of Art" called "THE BLUE BUTTERFLY IS 33YO NOW",
can only be made visible on a computer
~Duchamp~ Artmaking is making the invisible, visible.
~ Aristotle ~ The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.
UNMOVED MOVER
Motion is therefore "the actuality of any potentiality insofar as it is still a potentiality"
Aristotle describes the "Unmoved Mover" as being perfectly beautiful, indivisible, and contemplating only the perfect contemplation: itself contemplating, the Active Intellect.
1. There exists movement in the world.
2. Things that move were set into motion by something else.
3. If everything that moves were caused to move by something else, there would be an infinite chain of causes. This can't happen.
4. Thus, there must have been something that caused the first movement.
5. From 3, this first cause cannot itself have been moved.
6. From 4, there must be an "Unmoved Mover".

In 1912 Impressionist Marcel Duchamp exhibited a
painting entitled NUDE DESCENDING A STAIRCASE.
The painting created a sensation. Worth millions today
it is held by the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
==========================================
The explanation of exactly why this painting
is so famous has always been a mystery.
==========================================
A number of art experts have pointed out that the painting
is similar to Edward Muybridge.
He is known for his pioneering work on animal locomotion
in 1877 and 1878, which used multiple cameras to capture
motion in stop-action photographs
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Muybridge
This fact was even publicly acknowledged by Duchamp
himself according to the Wikipedia article:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nude_Descending_a_Staircase
Of course Duchamp's painting "impressionistically" adds
a sense of motion to the figure which is missing in
Muybridge's still-frame photos.
=========================================
HOWEVER..... the fact that Duchamp got his inspiration
from one of Muybridge's photographs IS NOT WHY
Duchamp's painting is WORLD FAMOUS.
THERE IS ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC REASON
FOR THE WORLD FAME OF
MARCEL DUCHAMP'S PAINTING---
FACT IS...... THE PAINTING IS A DIRECT
VISUAL CONFIRMATION OF THE
EXISTENCE OF GOD.................!!!!!
AND HERE I WILL EXPLAIN WHY:
=========================================
When you look at something new and unfamiliar,
your mind tries to "logically guess" what it is.... then
your mind imagines the object and tries to fit that image
to what it is seeing to see if they can be matched.
For instance, if you are out hunting and you see a
distant object which you think might be a deer, you
must check carefully before you shoot. Your mind
tries different possibilities... is it a man?.... so you try
to fit the object to the mental image of a man.... no...
it won't work.... is it a cow?.... so you try to fit the
object to a cow.... no, can't be.... is it a large dog....
so you imagine it as a large dog.... nope.... won't
work.....is it a scarecrow...so you try to imagine it as a
scarecrow..nope.... wrong again.... wait a minute.... it
could be a motorcycle parked on the side of a dirt road....
immediately you imagine a motorcycle... with a wind shield
and handle bars......... BINGO....... turns out that's
exactly what it is......... thank God you didn't pull that
trigger!
WELL.... it turns out almost all objects are "partially
invisible"..... as I have explained before, in fact about
20% of true reality is INVISIBLE to the average person
due to the Secular Trend Braingrowth Deficit... and
this is known as the "Invisible World" of Religion
(commonly called "Heaven").
What this means is that we are constantly using the
above described "GUESS AND COMPARE" method
of recognizing objects (and persons too by the way).
In fact it is this fundamental "guess and compare"
method which is what eventually leads the average person
to begin to suspect that there is an "unseen world"..
at least historically that is where Religion comes from.
Now... in fact.... the human visual system does this
automatically and very rapidly... trying in some
cases 3, 4 or half a dozen "guesses" before it
recognizes an unfamiliar object or person.
This (subconscious) process looks very much
like one of Muybridges "freeze motion" photos...
or like Duchamp's Nude Descending the Staircase
for that matter.
AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHY
the average person gets an overwhelming
sense of DEJA VUE the minute he first see's
Marcel Duchamp's famous painting.... he says to
himself... "hey..I've see that somewhere before.."
... and guess what.... he has.. in his subconscious mind,
and what it is is :
TWO PICTURES... ONE OF HEAVEN
(an extrapolated possibility) AND ONE OF
EARTH (a known reality).... BEING
QUICLY ALTERNATED FOR COMPARISON
BACK AND FORTH IN THE MIND !!!!
........... and that is
EXACTLY HOW
THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
WAS DISCOVERED
NOT ONLY HISTORICALLY,
BUT BY AVERAGE PEOPLE
EVERY SINGLE DAY !
Of course Duchamp is also a pop psychologist and
that is why the figure is "descending a staircase"
because the vision of God is all about ascending
and descending (perceptually) and "stairs" are
a well known historical symbology (ladders too).
also... a "nude" is used to involve the basic
"perceptual ascension" involved in sexual
desire and attraction.
However... the "movie film sequence"
of the jittery "glimpses of heaven" that
we undergoe daily when perceiving
unfamiliar objects or scenes is BRILLIANTLY
captured by Duchamp's famous painting.
and that is why Marcel Duchamp's
painting is world famous !
Now George Hammond has proved all of this using
the Fusion Frequency of movie films to
prove the existence of the invisible world,
and has confirmed the proof to two decimal point
accuracy using 100 years of published Psychometry
data and showing that it is IDENTICAL to
Linearized Gravity and thus that the "invisible world"
is a simple classical Einsteinian Time and Space
dilation which makes as much as 20% of reality
INVISIBLE to the average person, thus explaining
both "God" and the "Invisible World" (Heaven).
HOWEVER..... a GENIUS like Marcel Duchamp
doesn't need theoretical Physics to explain God...
he can "paint God with a paint brush" and the
opinion of world has now confirmed the enduring
validity of his "1912 portrait of God
www.archivum.info/sci.psychology.theory/2006-09/00000/GOD...
Thomas argued that God, while perfectly united, also is perfectly described by Three Interrelated Persons. These three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) are constituted by their relations within the essence of God. Thomas wrote that the term "Trinity" "does not mean the relations themselves of the Persons, but rather the number of persons related to each other; and hence it is that the word in itself does not express regard to another."[88] The Father generates the Son (or the Word) by the relation of self-awareness. This eternal generation then produces an eternal Spirit "who enjoys the divine nature as the Love of God, the Love of the Father for the Word."
This Trinity exists independently from the world. It transcends the created world, but the Trinity also decided to give grace to human beings. This takes place through the Incarnation of the Word in the person of Jesus Christ and through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit within those who have experienced salvation by God; according to Aidan Nichols.
(Nature of the Trinity)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Aquinas#Nature_of_the_Trinity
Substantial form (the human soul) configures prime matter (the physical body) and is the form by which a material composite belongs to that species it does; in the case of human beings, that species is rational animal. So, a human being is a matter-form composite that is organized to be a rational animal. Matter cannot exist without being configured by form, but form can exist without matter—which allows for the separation of soul from body. Aquinas says that the soul shares in the material and spiritual worlds, and so has some features of matter and other, immaterial, features (such as access to universals). The human soul is different from other material and spiritual things; it is created by God, but also only comes into existence in the material body.
Aquinas’s account of the soul focuses on epistemology and metaphysics, and because of this he believes it gives a clear account of the immaterial nature of the soul.

In recent years, the cognitive neuroscientist Walter Freeman proposes that Thomism is the philosophical system explaining cognition that is most compatible with neurodynamics, in a 2008 article in the journal Mind and Matter entitled "Nonlinear Brain Dynamics and Intention According to Aquinas."

Node Mimesis: The Corpse, the cadaver... dead and alive.
Between the corpse, the dream, the emptiness and the cold... the paradox and the juxtaposition, between death and its simulacra, and even between the ghost and its shadow... right there, the blood and the soul flow.
Node Catharsis: Constructing the parts by their functions, seeing the parts as tools themselves. But, tools for what? Parts work as tools in an ensemble, in an organism. When working, they cease to be inert, they are alive –animated.
Comment: Aristotle explained the difference between animals and plants on the basis of the anima (hence the word), that which made them move. The parts of the animals however, needed to be explained in order to understand how the anima was present in life and lost in death even though the corpse with the parts was left.
From this question (both methodological and empirical), one can jump to Galen and his two blood system; from there to Harvey mechanistic view of the heart and blood; and from there to Descartes and his pneumas.

Meta-methodology (aka, eXquisite forensics):
"Animals, then, are composed of homogeneous parts, and are also composed of heterogeneous parts. The former, however, exist for the sake of the latter. For the active functions and operations of the body are carried on by these; that is, by the heterogeneous parts, such as the eye, the nostril, the whole face, the fingers, the hand, and the whole arm. But inasmuch as there is a great variety in the functions and motions not only of aggregate animals but also of the individual organs, it is necessary that the substances out of which these are composed shall present a diversity of properties. For some purposes softness is advantageous, for others hardness; some parts must be capable of extension, others of flexion. Such properties, then, are distributed separately to the different homogeneous parts, one being soft another hard, one fluid another solid, one viscous another brittle; whereas each of the heterogeneous parts presents a combination of multifarious properties."

Version en Español (bajo construcción aun, los links aun estan en inglés y la cita de Aristóteles falta, pero creo que esto ayuda Gla*)
Nodo Mimesis: El cuerpo, el cadaver... muerto y vivo.
Entre el cuerpo, el sueño, el vacío y el frío... la paradoja y la yuxtaposición, entre la muerte y sus simulacros, y hasta entre el fantasma y su sombra... ahí mismo, la sangre y el alma fluyen.
Nodo Catharsis: Construyendo las partes por sus funciones, viendo las partes como las herramientas mismas. Pero, ¿herramientas para que? Las partes funcionan como herramientas en un esnamble, en un organismo. Al estar funcionando, dejan de ser intertes, están vivas –animadas.
Comentario: Aristóteles explicó la diferencia entre animales y plantas con base en el anima (de ahí la palabra), aqullo que los hace moverse. Sin embargo, las partes de los animales necesitan ser explicadas para poder entender cómo el anima estuvo presente en vida y con la muerte se perdió a pesar de que el cuerpo con sus partes aún queda.
A partir de esta pregunta (tanto metodológica como empírica), una puede brincar a Galen y su sistema de dos sangres; de ahí a Harvey y su concepción mecanicista del corazón y la sandgre; y de ahí a Descartes y sus pneumas.
Please, judge this photograph by its composition, colours, the feelings it stirs in you… and not as “what is it?”, as if photography mattered only as much as the subjet it captures.

Aristotle provided physical and observational arguments supporting the idea of a spherical Earth:
Every portion of the Earth tends toward the center until by compression and convergence they form a sphere.
Travelers going south see southern constellations rise higher above the horizon; and
The shadow of Earth on the Moon during a lunar eclipse is round.
He probably would have thought differently had he seen a rectangular shadow pass over the face of the moon. :)

The ancient Greeks believed that there were four elements that everything was made up of;: earth, water, air, and fire. This theory was suggested around 450 BC, and it was later supported and added to by Aristotle.
The idea that these four elements – earth, water, air, and fire – made up all matter was the cornerstone of philosophy, science, and medicine for two thousand years.
The elements were “pure” but could not be found in that state on earth. Every visible thing was made up of some combination of earth, water, air, and fire.
The four elements were even used to described the four temperaments a person could have, and Hippocrates used the four elements to describe the four “humors” found in the body. These theories stated that the temperaments and humors needed to be in balance with each other in order for a person to be well both mentally and physically.
While we do know now that these previous theories are false, in a way the four elements do align with the four states of matter that modern science has agreed on: solid (earth), liquid (water), gas (air), and plasma (fire).
Although the Greeks believed that the four elements were unchanging in nature, everything was made up of different elements, which were held together or pushed apart by forces of attraction and repulsion, causing substances to appear to change. This is similar to what really happens with elements and all molecules at an atomic level.
Matter is anything that has mass and volume and is made up of atoms, which are the smallest particles of matter. Bonding occurs among atoms to make larger molecules. Mass is how much matter is in an object whereas volume is how much space the object takes up. How atoms are arranged in an object determines whether it is a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.
In a solid, the atoms are packed closely together in an ordered pattern and cannot move, giving a solid a definite volume and shape. Examples of solids include rocks, wood, metal, and ice.
In a liquid, the atoms are close together but can move around each other. This allows a liquid to take the shape of whatever container it is placed in. Examples of liquids include room temperature water, room temperature mercury, and hot lava (molten rock).
In a gas, there is more space between atoms. The atoms can move so freely that if the gas is not trapped in a container, the atoms will diffuse and spread throughout the atmosphere. Examples of gases are oxygen and nitrogen (in the air we breathe), helium, and steam (water vapor).
In a plasma, the atoms are spaced similarly to gas except there is so much energy in a plasma, the atoms actually split into smaller pieces. Plasmas are able to carry an electrical current and generate magnetic fields. Examples of plasmas include lightning, solar wind, the sun, fluorescent lights, and neon signs.
Temperature plays an important role in how the atoms are aligned in a substance. As a general rule of thumb, the colder the matter is, the closer the atoms are to each other, and the warmer the matter is, the farther the atoms are apart. Of course, the temperature at which a matter is a solid or a liquid depends on what substance the matter is made of. For example, water at room temperature is a liquid whereas a rock at room temperature is solid.
