----------------------------------- Oxbridge Readingclub Meeting Today! ----------------------------------- Location : Osnabrueck, Germany Date : Sunday Time : 20:30 ----------------------------------- Dear Friends of Self-organisation Since there is the Doctorate Programme featuring Luc Steels tomorrow, We have postponed the Reading Club Movie Meeting until 20:30. We will show the Video "Fractals - an Animated Discussion" (63 minutes) starring Benoit Mandelbrot. If you think Fractals are just colourful retro-math-pictures from the 1980s check out the two cutting-edge papers below! - Fractal Linguistics Neuro-fractal composition of meaning: toward a collage theorem for language (Simon Levy) http://www.cs.wlu.edu/~levy/pubs/bics2004.pdf - Fractal Robotics Adaptive Fractal Gene Reguatory Networks for Robot Control (Peter Bentley) http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/P.Bentley/BEC14.pdf The movie will be shown inside the Asta-building. Get in through the Metal Door in the Arcade Alte Münze (opposite to Cafe Mano Negra) Anyone may come -- It´s free, it´s frantic, it´s fractal! Martin P.S. At the next meeting (05.12.04) we will discuss the papers mentioned above Here are some brainteasers to stimulate discussion... 1. What is the relation between Fractals and Grammars? 2. What happens if we apply Bentley´s Fractal Enzymes to Luc Steel´s Fluid Construction Grammar? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- list archives : //www.freelists.org/archives/rule110 change options : http://www.rule110.org/contact.html or sign off by mailing to list-request@xxxxxxxxxxx - subject: 'unsubscribe'
