And seeing them made me wonder how to add these to Street View with time slider to make them come 'alive' into N-Dimensionality iteratively  (having not further heard back yet from Brown University about adding pics & to explore around Brown hippie communes in the 1960s and '70s ) ... in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory ..

Dear Ma, Ed, Pin, John,  

Greetings, and as a further followup - 

am seeking to remember new memories of my grandfather Sandy Brown (from when I was born in 1960 or a few years thereafter - until when he died in around 1987) ...

re Viren Jain's observation here esp - 





... and recall George Alexander MD observing that it only takes a single neuron firing for a memory to be recalled (from a Yale course with an experimental biology aspect and on memory? ) ... and also from George that regarding questions of consciousness that it's an intractable issue to bring 1st person and 3rd person (scientists) knowledge or speaking or perspectives together (one of the many issues that makes consciousness philosophically and scientifically impossible to understand) ... 

So when I viewed the above video Viren Jain tweeted on Twitter and 'read' the GREAT "AlphaFold 3 predicts the structure and interactions of all of life’s molecules " Alpha Fold 3 article - https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-deepmind-isomorphic-alphafold-3-ai-model/#future-cell-biology - it makes me wonder how to develop biomolecular approaches to #RekindlingNewMemories (a new #Hashtag on Twitter too) ... AND of my grandpa Sandy Brown ...   

How would this work too in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForMemories in 1 #RealisticVirtualEarth and per - 

"Revolutionizing Education with Machine Learning and AI" : #WUaSunivs 

For example, could I re-stimulate memories of going to Moraine State Park about an hour north of Pittsburgh with my grandfather Sandy Brown and Granny Brown, and my parents and my brother in the first half of the 1980s - and even talk with an avatar bot or avatar agent of my Grandpa's adding Natural Language Processing NLP (perhaps of some writings of his, or even of video if there is any) artificial intelligence to a picture of his for starters and even from here with a picture - https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Brown-92991 - and to which I've added 2 memories already? 

Thoughts, John, All, regarding 'memory' and your Tufts and alma mater MIT universities and memory research for example?

PS
Here are the Tweets that were at the top of my @TheOpenBand Twitter feed when I emailed you earlier - 







PPS 

A possibly related brain-science wise set of inquiries (informed as they are by the 1960s and '70s, and the freedom seeking student movements then +) 



How does psychedelic rock work, e.g when listeners hear it decades later, and somehow get high? 


My current hypothesis has to do with brain localization re neural firing 'pathways' - eg that the Grateful Dead possibly played regularly on psychedelics, & that this, for example, affects some same NEURAL PARTS of the brain as actually taking psychedelics (eg LSD) & listening to music that gets one to 'flow' ; I'd like to study this in a realistic virtual earth for brains, and with brainwave headsets potentially too. One difference is that listening to Grateful Dead music that gets one high decades after 1965-79 for example, comes in through auditory pathways to the possibly study-able parts of the brain, compared with ingesting LSD for example, which is consumed and comes to the brain through circulatory processes. 


STEM-wise?, (aside from the intractability of understanding consciousness philosophically at this time)  ... and regarding the Grateful Dead logo ... of the lightning bolt through a Deadhead, and re neural processes or firing and even through specific localized pathways?

Also re

'A Plan for Sunday' - and could this even be your language John? 


"Ma, 

Shawnee state park about 2.25 hours away as a possible place to visit on Sunday? I passed it on the way back from T..'s and the Fettes College Drinks and Canapes' get together on 4/11/24 


Just exploring surfing the web & Twitter languages and eventually found -

western Pennsylvania Native American tribes


"Which Native American tribes inhabited Pennsylvania?"

"Among these indigenous peoples were six main tribes: the Erie, Iroquois Confederacy (Haudenosaunee), Shawnee and Ohio Valley, Munsee Delaware (or just Munsee), Susquehannock, and the Lenape Delaware, or Unami Delaware."



which we were talking about the other day ... and it seems the Seneca Guyasuta 1770 native American symbol in Jim West's sculpture above Three Rivers and 'The Point' in Pgh may have been from afar since Seneca aren't mentioned in this article ... Further research could be interesting & even in a Realistic Virtual Earth For Native Americans :)




These possible towns also came to mind for a visit on Sunday for a walk and exploration 

Kittanning (another old industrial town where Fox Chapel public library librarian 'Cameron Smith' is from he said the other day) ...

Found these online too searching on " 'nicest or 'prettiest towns or similar around Pgh Saltsburg PA"

Ligonier

Farmington

Monongahela

Smicksburg, PA  

Harmony, PA

Beaver, PA

Zelienople, PA


Thoughts further re a

"Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness."

Am glad for these developments in Google Maps, which integrates with Google Street View with Time Slider ... and for a STEAM Realistic Virtual Harbin Hot Springs for ethnographic book project # 2 (and see again Peter Norvig's INCREDIBLE #ToolifyAIWUaS WUaSUnivs' article - https://www.toolify.ai/ai-news/revolutionizing-education-with-machine-learning-and-ai-2574306).

eg with parallels to  -

And as I begin to travel for MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch, potentially to all ~200 countries, and over the next centuries even, will I be able to use the above as a way to chronicle and grow World Univ & Sch in these travels? 


I realize that law and law enforcement could be using Google Maps in collaboration with Google in some of these regards too ... and potentially for improving law enforcement. 

I called my mother yesterday even, and wondered also if Chase bank Wilkinsburg employee jenifer weber could have speculatively been arraigned and be even locked up in prison for banking crimes relating to international organized crime and the wrongful buying and selling of people out of Chase bank Wilkinsburg . 

I ALSO REALIZE THAT GOOGLE MAPS AND STREET VIEW WITH TIME SLIDER COULD BE USED IN GREAT WAYS TO GROW and code for with AI a MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch ABOLITION MOVEMENT and as WUaS seeks to code for all 7.9 billion people on the planet - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/You_at_World_University - so by tracing possibly criminals in their daily travels potentially. 

I also wondered on my mother's phone machine how for example Google-WUaS might be beginning to generate lists of citizens in all ~200 countries, and in some of the above regards, and how they might be, brainstorming-wise, much further along in Tonga (with its ~102,000 people) in the Tongan language, than in China (with its 1.4 billion people) in China's 302 languages ... but who knows - and for growing a WUaS abolition movement especially? 

What do you think? 

In asylum in western PA, Penn's Woods, from the SF Bay Area, with my Reed College friend from around 1979 T.. L......... in the US state department for ~30 years, and a US foreign service officer therefore, just having returned I think from the SF Bay Area - 

 "Welcome back to DC, T..! How was your trip to the SF Bay Area? Did you see Reedie too Byron Hann MD (in Moraga about ~4 miles from Canyon 94516), visit Canyon 94516, & even get the possible low down on international organized crime re sadly the SF quajer meeting ... and possibly Canyon too. ... and with US federal law and state of CA law working effectively together in new ways? How did your trip seem safety-wise for the first time there since visiting me (and going up to Harbin Hot Springs together, about 4 years before I published my first large book "Naked Harbin Ethnography" in the Academic Press at MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS) in 2012? How was your visit with your uncle and your young brother? Looking forward to seeing you potentially on Sun 5/19 for a hike :) Hugs, Scott (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Canyon) "

Abolition, best regards, Friendly Quaker greetings, seeking to stay alive (and after my father's first subdural hematoma on unif pitt managed at the time semester at sea in Belize on 12/30/04), and seeking to protect people at WUaS as WUaS codes for all 7.9 billion people on the planet, Yogically, & Desiderata,

How does psychedelic rock and roll work, e.g when listeners hear it decades later, and somehow get high? 


How does psychedelic rock and roll work, e.g when listeners hear it decades later, and somehow get high? 


My current hypothesis has to do with brain localization re neural firing 'pathways' - eg that the Grateful Dead possibly played regularly on psychedelics, & that this, for example, affects some same NEURAL PARTS of the brain as actually taking psychedelics (eg LSD) & listening to music that gets one to 'flow' ; I'd like to study this in a realistic virtual earth for brains, and with brainwave headsets potentially too. One difference is that listening to Grateful Dead music that gets one high decades after 1965-79 for example, comes in through auditory pathways to the possibly study-able parts of the brain, compared with ingesting LSD for example, which is consumed and comes to the brain through circulatory processes. 



STEM-wise?, (aside from the intractability of understanding consciousness philosophically at this time)  ... and regarding the Grateful Dead logo ... of the lightning bolt through a Deadhead, and re neural processes or firing and even through specific localized pathways?

A possibility - 

What happens when you listen to psychedelic music?
Depersonalization allows the user to lose the self and gain an "awareness of undifferentiated unity." Dynamization, as [Timothy] Leary wrote, makes everything from floors to lamps seem to bend, as "familiar forms dissolve into moving, dancing structures"... Music that is truly "psychedelic" mimics these three effects.

And 

Music-evoked emotions of wonder and transcendence are intensified under LSD, influenced by a musical quality known as timbre. These emotions are core facets of the transformative mystical-type experiences that can be occasioned by psychedelics.Mar 25, 2022
