Why does the Hearst press attempt to organize the news of each day into a Victorian melodrama?
Anything queer in a big urban press going flat out for the small town, the small guy and cracker-barrel sentiments?
Is it a some screen or just the fog from a confoosed brain?

Nose for News (probes) – p.5
Marshall McLuhan – The Mechanical Bride. 1951. Ginko Press

We live as languaging beings
Language occurs as a flow of living together in recursive coordination’s of behaviors, that is, recursive coordination’s of feelings, emotions, and doings.
…as languaging beings we live in networks of conversations.

Humberto Maturana

…the business of art is no longer the communication of thoughts or feelings which are to be conceptually ordered, but a direct participation in an experience. participation in a process, rather than the apprehension of concepts.
McLuhan 1951 - Essential McLuhan(1995)

“An autopoietic system is organized (defined as a unity) as a network of processes of
production (synthesis and destruction) of components such that these components:

(ii) constitute the system as a distinguishable unity in the domain in which they exist.”

“Turns out computer science and biological science are really the same thing, studying computation in different media.”

My own scientific career was a descent from higher to lower dimension, led by a desire to understand life. I went from animals to cells, from cells to bacteria, from bacteria to molecules. … On my way life ran out between my fingers.

Rearrangements in the skate’s DNA sequence altered the 3D structure of its genome and disrupted ancient connections between key developmental genes and the regulatory sequences that governed them. Those changes in turn redrafted the animal’s body plan.
