Rock-n-Go 岩棋志

“如此数月，他便在荒谷中与神雕为伴。这日闲着无事，漫步来到独孤求败埋剑的山崖
之前。纵跃上崖，看到朽烂木剑下的石刻：”四十岁后，不滞于物，草木竹石，均可
为剑。自此精修，渐而进于无剑胜有剑之境。”心想：”我持玄铁重剑，几可无敌于天
下，但瞧独孤前辈遗言，显是木剑可胜玄铁重剑，而最后无剑却又胜于木剑。龙儿既
说须十六年后方得相见，这漫漫十余年中，我就来钻研这木剑胜铁剑、无剑胜有剑之
法便了。”

The Institute for the Future has a weblog called Future Now. A brief visit found this link: Whale Culture?

读索绪尔，理解二项对立：共时与历时，语言与言语，连锁与选择（也称组合与聚合），（符号）能指与所指，加上价值与关系。

对任何符号体系，确定基元，分析其对立、联系和转换，是建立文化的模式和其系统的结构主义方式。

比如建筑学中，门，内室，走道，后墙等构成连锁关系，不同式样的门，走道构成选择关系。音乐亦是如此，还记得友友试图探索表现的巴赫和Piranesi的联系吗？

前年在农场，伴随你的除了Kauffman，还有列维－斯特劳斯和加缪。
今天在伯克莱，二十年后重读《结构主义》。

索绪尔（Saussure）关于语言的比喻很多，代数，交响乐章，川流不息的长河，还有“一件袍子，历尽岁月，缝满了补丁，补丁所用的布是从衣服本身剪下来的。”等等。最妙的一个是：下棋。
