Instruments, Interactivity, and Inevitability
It is astonishing to think that a mere twenty years ago, real-time music production and performance was not only in a fledgling state with only primitive (such as the IRCAM 4X machine) or limited (like the Synclavier) capabilities, but was also the subject of very heated debate. At IRCAM in the early 1980’s, for instance, some (such as Luciano Berio) questioned whether any digital technology co...
متن کاملInevitability of Balance Restoration
Prolonged imbalance between input and output of any element in a living organism is incompatible with life. The duration of imbalance varies, but eventually balance is achieved. This rule applies to any quantifiable element in a compartment of finite capacity. Transient discrepancies occur regularly, but given sufficient time, balance is always achieved, because permanent imbalance is impossibl...
متن کاملThe Inevitability of Xen
Xen is a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that we have developed at the University of Cambridge over the past 5 years. As a VMM, Xen allows a single physical computer to be partitioned into a set of isolated virtual computers, each running their own operating system and applications. Xen has received a fair bit of attention recently and we have even spun out a company to support the commercial use...
متن کاملInevitability of Genetic Parasites
Almost all cellular life forms are hosts to diverse genetic parasites with various levels of autonomy including plasmids, transposons and viruses. Theoretical modeling of the evolution of primordial replicators indicates that parasites (cheaters) necessarily evolve in such systems and can be kept at bay primarily via compartmentalization. Given the (near) ubiquity, abundance and diversity of ge...
متن کاملThe inevitability of C4 photosynthesis
Elements of C4 photosynthesis-a complex adaptation that increases photosynthetic efficiency-may have evolved first to correct an intercellular nitrogen imbalance, and only later evolved a central role in carbon fixation.
