Cora Diamond : What nonsense might be
comment : nonsense, without sense, nonsensical. They are the same.
4.461....Tautology and contradictions lack sense.
4.4611. Tautologies and contradictions are not, however, nonsensical....
to mesh up symbolic logic with ethics is nonsense.
British philosophy is declining. She is now undergoing a phenomenological turn. There is no Russell in the 21st Century to revolt against Idealism. American philosophers have more potential to lead.
Is the "New Wittgenstein " called " American Wittgenstenian " ?
Read 100 Books. You still cannot wakeup.

Sartre--Anguish 苦惱
Sartre--Anguish
Rest in peace. Michael Jackson.
Notes on Sartre 's << Being and Nothingness >>
P.35-36
Anguish p.35-36 苦惱
1. Anguish in fact is the recognition of a possibility as
my possibility; that is, it is constituted when consciousness sees itself cut from its essence by nothingness or separated from the future by its freedom.
2. This means that a nihilating nothing removes from me all excuse and that at the same time what I project as my future being is always nihilated and reduced to the rank of simple possibility because the future which I am remains out of my reach.
3. But we ought to remark that in these various instances we have to do with a temporal form where I wait myself in the future, where I "make an appointment with myself of the other side of that hour, of that day, or of that month."
4. Anguish is the fear of not finding myself at that appointment, of no longer even wishing to bring myself there.
5. But I can also find myself engaged in acts which reveal my possibilities to me at the very instant when they are realized.
焦慮（ Anguish ） --
[ 法文為 angoisse，英文 也譯作“ dread”] --
存在主義 面對世界的 典型態度之一，類似于“ 畏俱 ”。
當一個人 做選擇時，他或她 既是自由的，又意識到 這種自由。當此人 面對面地 意識到 或 辨認出這自由時，就出現了這種 " 焦慮 " 之感。如果一個選擇 是原發的，不能從 外在于此選擇的 理由 那裏得到辯護，那麽，當事人 就對于做某種選擇 或 不去做這個選擇的 正當性産生了 自我疑問，并因此而 體驗到一種 不確定性。
焦慮 與這個世界的 荒謬性相關，而不是 出自任何特殊的 危險情境。絶大多數人 依靠自欺 或 僞劣信仰 (Bad faith ) 而避開焦慮；但真正的人 則通過這種感覺 而意識到 現存者 與可能者 對于他或她的區彆，并進而在 開發自己的 潜能中增加 創造性。
某些存在主義者 也稱這種感覺為“ 存在論之罪感 ”，一種由自由選擇意識 而非由于違反了某種 特殊禁律而引起的 罪感。當然，這個存在主義的 中心觀念 所包含的 道德心理學 和 存在論（本體論）也可以受到質疑。

Perl and Undecidability
Perl and Undecidability
Adam Kennedy's PPI project focused on parsing Perl code as a document (retaining its integrity as a document), instead of parsing Perl as executable code (which not even Perl itself can always do).
It was Kennedy who first conjectured that, "parsing Perl suffers from the 'Halting Problem'.", and this was later proved.
不完備性 的結論影響了 數學哲學 以及 形式化主義（使用 形式符號 描述原理）中的一些觀點。
我們 可以將 第一定理解釋為 :「我們永遠 不能 發現一個萬能的 公理系統 能夠證明 一切數學真理，而不能 證明任何謬誤 」
以下對第二定理的另一種說法甚至更令人不安：
如果一個（強度足以 證明基本算術公理的）公理系統 可以用來證明 它自身的 相容性，那麼它是 不相容的。

Linux Kernel Architecture
Mauerer's book << Linux kernel Architecture >> is clear and you can trace the flow of the source code.
I make this comment since I have painful experience in reading << Understanding the Linux kernel >>.
The Understanding series is quite hard to me.
If you really have passion in the linux kernel, I would suggest you first read Robert Love 's << Linux Kernel Development >> .
The linux source code is Overwhelming. But once you can ...

EE4206/EE5806 Fourier spectrum
EE4206/EE5806 Digital Image Processing
notes on Fourier spectrum :
notes on ( Gonzales and Wood 2008 ) Digital Image Processing, 3rd ed.
The plot of |F(u)| as a function of frequency.
The key properties to note are that the locations of the zeros of both F(u) and |F(u)| are inversely proportional to the width, W, of the " box " function, that the height of the lobes decreases as a function of distance from the origin, and that the function extends to infinity for both positive and negative values of u.
These properties are quite helpful in interpreting the spectra of two-dimensional fourier teansforms if images.

Cora Diamond : the realistic spirit
Cora Diamond : the realistic spirit
comment : on causal nexus
5.1361. We cannot infer the events of the future from those of the present.
Superstition is nothing but belief in the causal nexus.
5.1362. The freedom of the will consists in the impossibility of knowing actions that still lie in the future.
We could know them only if causality were an inner necessity like that of logical inference. -- The connection between knowledge and what is known is that of logical necessity.
( 'A knows that p is the case', has no sense if p is a tautology. )
