Phenomenological Sociography and Time Travel
Related to questions of Time, structure and aspectual dimensions of relational time. Related theories that I am working on to discuss this are syntactogenerics and syntactogenesis, Syntacto generics and Semanto Generics, Syntactogenesis and Semantogenesis relations, and the nature of time as emminative, immanent and transcendent meaning both virtual and ontological. Please offer your input if you so wish.

What are the relational or assemblages of subjective structure, how can we create a taxonomy of types of relational time? By what features does time seem linear, and what is the nature of conditioning, or ritual space that instantiates regularities IN the mind? How is this relation both physical and immaterial? IS there such thing as the immaterial? Can time be said to be Immaterial and materializable? Is time instantiative or phasic, normative and bound to rules or flexible? How do we understand distinctions in subjective and objective time, how can we quantify and compare and contrast variables of each? Is there such thing as a phase shift in which ontological bias may be met with nomological or noumenal objectivity, if so what are the expectations, means of discernment and systems available to explore critique, modify and experiment with time relations? What, finally, are some means to codify and structure simulations of these relations utilizing electromagnetic fields that may interface with the Neural correlates of Consciousness study to explore results? What should our ethical considerations with regards to this sort of study be? How was your day?

The notion of a quantum concept is introduced. The possibility of a Wittgensteinian “dissolution” of the measurement problem with help of the notion of a language game and the possibility of a metaphysical solution of this problem with help of the Heideggerian notion of Dasein are considered.
Música holofractal: conexões semióticas entre a música e a física contemporâneas
Article of the conference presented in 2003, at the cicle "Interatividades", organized by Itau Cultural.

A holonomia e a fractalidade são conceitos mais amplos, que englobam os demais na formação de um paradigma denominado "holofractal". A abordagem paradigmática das mudanças atravessadas pela humanidade é aqui vista como uma chave para compreender e deslindar algumas relações entre esses conceitos em áreas supostamente díspares, como a música e a física.
