Strange Loops in CFML: a Livecoder's Riddle
نویسنده
چکیده
The practice of livecoding borrows heavily from the techniques and vocabulary of music and computer programming. In a setting where the design, implementation, execution, and reflective redesign of software systems are simultaneously overlaid and entangled with sonic creativity in the moment, traditional vocabularies fail to offer more than ambiguous metaphor. This paper uses examples from cfml, a minimal livecoding system, to probe the livecoder’s conceptual landscape, revealing unfamiliar structures and processes reminiscent of Hofstadter’s strange loops. Results from even rudimentary practice with an intentionally impoverished tool point at the need for further inquiry into these natively-livecoding concepts that are at the very edge of expression within the terminology of livecoding’s computer music origins.

Stranger Still: Kaon Loops and Strange Quark Matrix Elements of the Nucleon*
Intrinsic strangeness contributions to low-energy strange quark matrix elements of the nucleon are modelled using kaon loops and meson-nucleon vertex functions taken from nucleon-nucleon and nucleon-hyperon scattering. A comparison with pion loop contributions to the nucleon electromagnetic (EM) form factors indicates the presence of significant SU(3)-breaking in the mean-square charge radii. A...
متن کاملThe Strange Magnetic Moment of the Proton in the Chiral Quark Model
The strange magnetic moment of the proton is small in the chiral quark model, because of a near cancellation between the quantum fluctuations that involve kaons and s-quarks and loops that involve radiative transitions between strange vector mesons and kaons.

Sequential pattern mining is advantageous for several applications for example, it finds out the sequential purchasing behavior of majority customers from a large number of customer transactions. However, the existing researches in the field of discovering sequential patterns are based on the concept of frequency and presume that the customer purchasing behavior sequences do not fluctuate with ...

Cotton fiber is an important natural textile fiber due to its exceptional length and thickness. These properties arise largely through primary and secondary cell wall synthesis. The cotton fiber of commerce is a cellulosic secondary wall surrounded by a thin cuticulated primary wall, but there were only sparse details available about the polysaccharides in the fiber cell wall of any cotton spec...
متن کاملA Strange Mesonic
The strange-quark vector current ρ-to-π meson transition form factor is computed at one-loop order using strange meson intermediate states. A comparison is made with a φ-meson dominance model estimate. We find that one-loop contributions are comparable in magnitude to those predicted by φ-meson dominance. It is possible that the one-loop contribution can make the matrix element as large as thos...
