Grids
For those who think "right-brain" means something—
- Josefine Lyche's new "Grids, You Say?,"
- an image search on Argyle, and
- the Hollywood Argyles.

Clay
The title is that of a short story in Dubliners , by James Joyce.
See in that story the phrase “Grey-green eyes.”

For Baron Samedi
Click on the image for a video.
See also Josefine Lyche's "Grids, you say?"
I prefer Lyche's versions of the diagonal
3×3 grid. Her versions have no lettering.
(This post was suggested by a photo of magical sigils
that Lyche posted a few hours ago at Facebook.
The above seems to be another such sigil that may
or may not be intended to function like those posted
today by Lyche.)

Plan 9 (continued)–
In Like Flynn
From the Wall Street Journal site Friday evening—
| ESSAY September 21, 2012, 9:10 p.m. ET
Are We Really Getting Smarter? Americans’ IQ scores have risen steadily over the past century.
|
No, thank you. I prefer the ninth configuration as is—
Why? See Josefine Lyche’s art installation “Grids, you say?“
Her reference there to “High White Noon” is perhaps
related to the use of that phrase in this journal.
The phrase is from a 2010 novel by Don DeLillo.
See “Point Omega,” as well as Lyche’s “Omega Point,”
in this journal.
The Wall Street Journal author above, James R. Flynn (born in 1934),
“is famous for his discovery of the Flynn effect, the continued
year-after-year increase of IQ scores in all parts of the world.”
—Wikipedia
His son Eugene Victor Flynn is a mathematician, co-author
of the following chapter on the Kummer surface— 
For use of the Kummer surface in Buddhist metaphysics, see last night’s
post “Occupy Space (continued)” and the letters of Nanavira Thera from the
late 1950s at nanavira.blogspot.com.
These letters, together with Lyche’s use of the phrase “high white noon,”
suggest a further quotation—
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn’t get much higher
