lab 6 deliverables

529 in binary is 1000010001
this is because if you break each individual number into their own column, each 1 represents 2^(whatever column youre in starting from the right and moving left). In the first column it is 2^0 which is the number one. The zeros represent a zero in each column. When you've calculated what each one is you add the numbers up.

110010101 is 405 in numerical representation.

A positional numbering system is what just described. each number in a column represent a different number.

For chapter 6 in Andy Clark, he starts out by talking about the significants of a slugs trail. He states that the web operates in much the same way as a slug trail in that when information is transferred it leaves a trail. This trail can then be used over and over again until a pattern emerges.

Modeling the World

I think the concept of modeling is pretty cool. It gives a person some sort of instructions on how to think about something, which is awesome. The early thinkers like Galileo and Newton knew what they were talking about when they explained stuff, because most of it hold true today. Einstein was also a brillant man who used modeling to model the world

I think that information does depend on the people how recognize what a symbol or anything else means. The information only depends on if people are willing to except what other people choose to be relevent.

I also think that the art work that artist use to not quite make fun of information but pick on the galibility of humans to except it.

library of babel

http://infoport.blogspot.com/2007/01/library-of-babel.htmlI think this library is nothing more than a way to show people that there are limitless ways to organize things, words and even space. The so called librarians that are reading these books in the library are wasting time. The Library itself may be a symbol of the universe.http://infoport.blogspot.com/
