when can 2 things be considered the same? Is everything the same thing?

Ok, music is perhaps merely the brain sorting out what is different and what is the same. taking out all the deeper cultural+ emotional stuff anyway.

this reminds me of an experiment. here's a little example of what i mean:
1. you draw a line 2. split it in 3 parts with equal size 3. erase the one in the middle. go to number 2 and repeat this with every line that's left over.
what's the result: you finally get an infinite number of lines with no length. and thats happening within a fixed size.

that's interesting, it'll eventually turn into a fractal when you get microscopic enough... right? each little tiny piece is exactly the same as the entire huge thing. fractals are crazy, scaling symmetry. what is it, it has such a weird construction.

Fractals are brilliant.
M mate has a computer that allows you to look at fractals and dive deeper and deeper into them with a zoom function.
This is one reason why i have not got a lady friend.

yeah that's right ... i love fractals. they are pretty cool. in the early 90ies i had my computer running for one week to calculate a fractal. after that the power supply blasted....

even a ladybug and a person are the same thing aren't they? I wonder how evolution looks with one of those special cameras that show slow processes in great speed, like the ones that show sunsets all quick... we're not really "humans" that's just a convenient term we use to refer to our CURRENT form as we pass through evolution and can't percieve how fast it really goes, we were apes, we ARE apes... we're the same as we were.

you have cool scientific view on such things. i think i heard that 90% of the genetics of all species is the same. it descends from very old bacterias.

i like the experiment where by you set up a video camera that is running and linked to monitor, with the lense of the camera aimed at the monitor screen...then you light a match infront of the camera....

I dont know if things exist or not.
Does each person see everything that other do. When in the local city centre I see approx 1000 people walking down the street. Do other people see every other person that I see ? Or do other people only see 999 people (not the police). Would it matter if I did not see all 1000 people, this would only matter if I was to conduct a survey and ask everyone in the street if the following question:
Of the following which do you prefer:
1. Elks 2. Whelks 3. Spelks
If I was not aksing this question would it really matter how many people i could see.
Today I realised it is great to be alive, or am I just a set of numbers.
My hand = 0101110010101001001
A wheelbarrow = 0110101001001
Can everything be explained in zeros and ones. Why can things not be described in celery and drawing pins.
I can imagine mini pieces of celery and drawing pins being passed along he wire of my computer informing little pigs with hats on to walk to other parts of the computer with instructions inside small carts that are being pulled by the pigs. Inside the carts exist the A-Team.

we could probably communicate saying "10100110101001101100101" to eachother real fast but that would be dumb. Everything is 1's and 0's my guess.

Or we could probably communicate using only: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz... that would be crazy if we could do that, because there'd be much more possibilities with more characters. I propose the invention of a new letter, we already have doubleu, so how about doubleh? We could make a double of each letter in fact, thereby making our communication possibilities superior to how they are now.
