Brian,
Good to hear from you and your working gauge of today's "legit"
intellectualism (if that is an ok descriptive term).
Your ARCHITECTURE OF ELECTICITY thesis immediately came to mind as I was
bookshopping downtown today. [Ron, I met C. McAfee and her two kids on
Delancy Street. It was fun trying to put five years of "what have you been
up to?" into a 12 minute conversation. Being an active participant at
Design-L since Summer 1998 is high on my list.] FIRE AND MEMORY: ON
ARCHITECTURE AND ENERGY by Luis Fernandez-Galiano (MIT, 2000, translated
from Spanish 1991) looks like it may be a "pre-text" to your work. I was
thinking you might what to become familiar with this earlier text because it
may just be _the_ primer upon which your thesis performs at its optimum
potential. There are 25 sample pages of the book at amazon.com.
The reason I raised the question about Franklin and salt melting ice is
because I'm deducing that what causes the melting is salt's sodium-chloride,
which is an electrified atom. It is the same sodium-chloride in our blood
that I believe is somehow activated or concentratingly utilized by the
sino-atreal (S-A) node to generate the beat of our hearts. Note how people
with high blood pressure are warned away from consumming too much salt, and
(conversely) how salt is the preventative to "sun-stroke"--avoiding too much
electricity in the former, and avoiding depletion of electricity in the
latter.
I wonder if there is anything in our bodies that functions the same as
fuses. Come to think of it, what do fuses do exactly? (That is, besides
immediately letting you know when one has just been blown.)
