[Xmca-l] Re: Trying to frame studies of the web through perezhivanie

[Andy Blunden]

A few comments Greg.

It seems to me that the web (i.w., www, yes?) is an
*artefact *not events; each unit is a trace of perezhivaniya
not a perezhivaniye as such; it is important not to conflate
events and artefacts; just as an historian has to know that
what they see are traces of real events, not the events as
such. What you do with that evidence is something again.

Just by-the-by, "analog" does not mean "original" or "real";
it means the opposite of reality. The terms "digital" and
"analog" originate from the 1960s when there were two types
of computer. Analog computers emulate natural processes by
representing natural processes in analogous electronic
circuits based on the calculus. In the end digital computers
won an almost complete victory, but for example, if I'm not
mistaken, the bionic ear uses analog computing to achieve
real-time coding of speech, or at least it did when I knew
it in the 1980s.
