Just Noticeable Difference – Weber’s Law
http://www.usd.edu/psyc301/WebersLaw.htm
Some unformed thoughts:
Our minds are more digital than analog
??? What bridges digital & analog ???
what is the meeting point of analog + digital
this question supposes :
there is a bridge
the dialogue of analog + digital is not sufficient – it’s a digital binary – analog or digital
JND – difference limen or the differential threshold.
the smallest difference in a specified modality of sensory input that is detectable by a human being or other animal
The Difference Threshold (or “Just Noticeable Difference”) is the minimum amount by which stimulus intensity must be changed in order to produce a noticeable variation in sensory experience
Each observer has their own difference threshold.
Perhaps quantum theory provides the framework for vocabulary – non-continuous –
collocation, superposition, entaglement(instant connectivity)
quantum leap – the leap of faith
The Observer (Heisenberg uncertainty principle)

like audio casette tapes and other analog technology, the VCR is on its way out._with the rise of DVR’s (digital video recorders) DVD’s , and other digital technology, the VCR is now a quaint thing of the past – like Vinyl Records, VHS tapes are now acquiring a nostalgic status.
GOAL: Reveal the “narrative” of the tape. Highlite its path and let the user see its path – do not obscure its path with wires.
In the image of the creator….
We create digital, non-linear matter because we are non-linear beings
Our minds work in associative flashes.

Experience of Present v. Memory of Past
In the realm of digital-analog divide, perhaps the meeting point is in physical space:
In the work of 1:1 maps
Augmented spaces – lev manovich
RFID – as nodes – synched up to virtual network…

Bush and the Republicans were not protecting us on 9-11, and we aren’t a lot safer now. We may be more afraid due to george bush, but are we safer? Being fearful does not necessarily make one safer. Fear can cause people to hide and cower. What do you think? How does that work in a democracy again? How does being more threatening make us more likeable?Isn’t the country with
the most weapons the biggest threat to the rest of the world? When one country is the biggest threat to the rest of the world, isn’t that likely to be the most hated country?
If ever there was ever a time in our nation’s history that called for a change, this is it!
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren’t living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.
