Atemporality for the Creative Artist
Beyond The Beyond: "So, what is ‘atemporality’? I think it’s best defined as ‘a problem in the philosophy of history’. And I hate to resort to philosophy, because I am a novelist. But I don’t think we have any way out here. It is about the nature of historical knowledge. What we can know about the past, and about the present, and about the future. How do we represent and explain history to ourselves? What are its structures and its circumstances? What are the dynamics of history and futurity? What has happened before? What is happening now? What is really likely to happen next?"

This is a great article. Thank it for providing me those helpful links! No wonder there have been this sort of template in this computer age. Even we can estimate the behavior of sound under the conditions of certain shapes and surface materials of architecture, temperature and humidity with PC software engineering. But anyway, it is a nice hands-on tool especially for me, one of those who are beginners, to learn each function of items and visual relation between numerical data and its overall shape, not only just using this template.
Among the links in the article, I loved "Pen shaking centrifuge". The attached video ridicules by themselves, but any brilliant idea comes from very tiny needs. Great!
