From the point of view of form, the archetype of all the arts is the art of the musician - Oscar Wilde Cultures with a history of struggle cook better, because they have to -Anthony Bourdaine 25

Missingness of one or all of the principle components of data, code, server, models, weights, and profiles is what is at stake (but perhaps migration represents redefining home?):

  • \(f(t)\) I

  • \(S(t)\) ii-V-I

  • \(h(t)\) iii, IV, vi, vii, alterations: being in the moment trumps the ii-V7-I duty

    • Δ7

    • m or min

    • ° or dim

    • ø or m7♭5, -5

    • + or aug, ♯5 or +5

    • sus

    • ♭9, ♯9, ♯11, ♭13

  • \((X'X)^T \cdot X'Y\) tension & release (e.g. Aiim7/E (GΔ) - iim7♭5/E Em)

  • \(\beta\) m7♭5 > 7♯9 > 7♭9 > °7 > 7, etc

  • \(SV'\) BWV 846 Prelude in C Major, Op 28 Prelude No. 4

While Tyler Perry’s work captures the collective unconscious via tension (bad marriage) & release (church music), the characters he creates don’t have individually compelling arcs that subsume many of the parameters of life

This is equivalent to their \(SV'\) being a vector of mostly \(zeros\) and the barriers, challenges, diversions, sirens, misfortunes, obstacles, courses, “chains” within which Tyler Perry is supposed to “dance” aren’t rich, leaving a basic ii-V-I redemption arch with perhaps one or two straightforward insersions of, say, iii and IV.

ii: Departure 1, 2, 3#

  • Sensory acuity 26: vision, hearing, smell, balance, glucose

  • Memory & cognitive: integrity, decline, tests

  • Physical activty: sarcopenia, brisk, dynamometer

V: Struggle 4#

  • Frailty: loneliness, isolation, usefulness

I: Return 5, 6#

  • Independence: ADLs, IADL

  • Hard-outcomes: shuffling, reflexes, falls, hospitalization, organ-failure, death

Tip

In John Adams letter to Abigail concerning the “three generation” process of making an artist or seeker of leisure, we can reconceptualize it as a ii-V7-I chord progression.

One ancestor departs from the homeland and finds manual work (garbage collection for Kardashians). Their struggles in a new adoptive home yield a triumph: a professional second generation (trial lawyer for Kardashians).

The final generation has seen no struggle and the family has “returned” to the idealized paradise they would have wanted at their original home but found elsewhere. It’s in this light that you should read the letter to Abigail 27
