The morning had started with the sort of optimism that generally accompanies men who have purchased expensive fishing equipment and have not yet attempted to use it. Early spring had arrived in Norway, although nobody had informed the mountains. Snow still filled the gullies above the fjord, and a cool breeze came down through the… Continue reading Wizards

സ്ഥിരീകരണം
The wind had finally dropped, which was a considerable relief to everyone except Tony, who had spent most of the afternoon complaining there wasn't enough of it. They were sitting behind a low wall of coral stone at the edge of a beach near Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka, where someone had assembled a bar out of… Continue reading സ്ഥിരീകരണം

Silje had been at the table for perhaps ten minutes before Isobel asked what she did. “Mostly weather and atmospheric modelling.” Greg looked interested. “Weather lady?” “I suppose, if you want to make several years of university sound like I own a raincoat.” “I was thinking more pretty lady on the telly.” “No telly.” “Shame.… Continue reading Danmark
Truth IV
Anna put her pint down with the careful violence of someone who had just found the problem hiding in plain sight. “Right,” she said. “We’ve been saying this wrong.” Adam looked up from his crisps. “Always a good sign when a sentence starts like a workplace investigation.” “No,” Anna said. “We keep talking about AI… Continue reading Truth IV

“…between zero and one there’s an infinite number of numbers.” “Yeah, yeah, we know.” “Right, so then a set with zero and one in it already contains infinity.” “No it doesn’t, that’s not how sets work.” “That’s not how numbers work either, and yet here we are.” “Hang on—so you’re saying zero and one is… Continue reading Finite
A start again
A humid Friday night in a Brisbane pub. Ceiling fans useless. Footy on the TV with no sound. Adam’s already two pints in when Anna walks in with a grin and a couple more. She drops them onto the table so hard the foam nearly jumps out. Anna: Jesus, mate, you look like someone just… Continue reading A start again

A special genius,my guide whispered.Frozen in Hell,they escaped the fires above. That, said my… Continue reading Canto III

Steel towers, hearts crack,Profits bloom on burnt-out bones,What drives this unrest? Entropy moves through,Systems seek balance and form,Creation unfolds. Rivers choke on gold,Forests bend beneath the sky,Why does life bend so? Information flows,Matter aligns with the wave,Patterns shape without aim. Marble halls glimmer,Empty mouths whisper through dust,What is their true weight? Coin cannot measure,Energy and… Continue reading Haiku anyone

Time II
Another way to say it Time is the quality not a quantity, of the change in things. Hurtling through infinity. we measure a displacement. As receeding through time We begin to record, a constistent rate of change, as complexity increases. Time does not exist unless, things happened.
