Fig. 19 What Exactly is Identity. A node may represent goats (in general) and another sheep (in general). But the identity of any specific animal (not its species) is a network. For this reason we might have a “black sheep”, distinct in certain ways – perhaps more like a goat than other sheep. But that’s all dull stuff. Mistaken identity is often the fuel of comedy, usually when the adversarial is mistaken for the cooperative or even the transactional.#

Fig. 20 Nvidia vs. Music. APIs between Nvidias CUDA & their clients (yellowstone node: G1 & G2) are here replaced by the ear-drum & vestibular apparatus. The chief enterprise in music is listening and responding (N1, N2, N3) as well as coordination and syncronization with others too (N4 & N5). Whether its classical or improvisational and participatory, a massive and infinite combinatorial landscape is available for composer, maestro, performer, audience. And who are we to say what exactly music optimizes?#
