Quipucamayoc plays his strings.
Four-brane quipu, quantum dots.
Emergent, complex tapestry
Sound and color,
Fermion knots.
Atomic jig at boson’s push
Molecules from atom dance.
Knotted cosmic symmetry,
Photon sway,
Quantum chance.
Quipu pattern mystery,
Entangled meaning, knots as quill,
Quipucamayoc, unperturbed
Emerges wonder,
Vibrates still.
If strings can information hold,
With beads on wire
Or knots on string.
Might abacus and quipu mold
Worlds of meaning?
Dreams unfold?
If strings can information bear,
In subatomic
Quantum realms.
Might quarks and other discrete fare
Be one-dimension
Knowledge dare?
Quipu were a knotted-string knowledge management system the Inca used to conveniently store data. For background see here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/chuckmetz_reading-the-strings-and-knots-that-keep-the-activity-6887838438129762304-bfiJ
Might foam upon some quantum beach
A froth of worlds roll out?
Swift surge of brief realities
In nihilistic shout?
Should quantum tides thrust sentience forth
Upon lost temporal shores,
That consciousness may well outlast
Its quantum tidal bores…
So strange this stasis.
Gray pause more endless
Than the life or eternity at each its ends…
“What is your face like, your hands holding the pages, the child forsaken in you, who now looks through your eyes at mine?”

What a splendidly moving book in my youth…

“Ai-Da used data bank of words and speech pattern analysis to produce and perform a work that is ‘reactive’ to the Divine Comedy.”
“Seen through the lens of sekki—and even more so, of kō—time no longer looks like an emptiness that has no meaning unless we fill it with doing. Instead, it is an independent incessant flow that’s just structured enough to appreciate its regular passing and the cadence it gives to our lives.”
