Continued from a post of August 20, 2015 —

The death link above leads to an obituary for one
"John Henry Holland, Who Computerized Evolution."

A book by Holland published July 13, 2012, by The MIT Press —

How nice to have an overarching framework.

For some context, see Holy Field
and Krauss Grid.

Wikipedia on the sci-fi weblog  io9.com—

Newitz explained the significance of the name "io9":

"Well, io9s are input-output devices that let you see into the future.
They're brain implants that were outlawed because they drove
anyone who used one insane. We totally made that (device) up
to name the blog."

From io9.com itself—

"Science fiction writer Ken MacLeod has another term for io9ers.
He calls them rapture fuckers.*"

For the relevance of the term "revolutions" in this post's title, see
Wikipedia on Ken MacLeod.

I prefer to associate the number 9 with The Holy Field.

* MacLeod used this phrase in one of his novels, Newton's Wake.

"The 'one' with whom the reader has identified himself
has now become 'the listener, who listens in the snow';
he has become the snow man, and he knows winter
with a mind of winter, knows it in its strictest reality,
stripped of all imagination and human feeling.
But at that point when he sees the winter scene
reduced to absolute fact, as the object not of the mind,
but of the perfect perceptual eye that sees
'nothing that is not there,' then the scene,
devoid of  its imaginative correspondences,
has become 'the nothing that is.'"
