RAPHAEL, LEONARDO da VINCI , MICHEL-ANGE

Italian Art seemed to be the fruit of a tradition that builded it as a Palace. And Renaissance Arts as Sums of knowledges....
From the times where the Roman Empire was destroyed the system of antique symbol from Nature ( Nature as described by prof. Werner Heisenberg, Nobel prize of physics) has been" lost " sometime... And had to be patiently re-build....

thus i remarked that a painter as Masaccio in the painting
Saint Pierre healing leprosis ... was in fact explaining a kind of " sum " of how faces were drawn before him, until the discovery of a better 3/4 face visage representation....

Let's put up briefly this idea that : certain parts of this giant tree called Art are definitely aimed to be
" sum of knowledges of an epoch " for instance s' Vasari period...

- MICHAEL ANGELO who was directed to represent 3D anatomies wherever possible ( a bit far from the chaste eyes thus on a ceiling) the universe of SHAPES ; THE EARTH
also remember the creation of Adam where God is represented into a purple veil the exact shape of a brain profile cut and thus the beginning of a sery of inclusions...

- RAPHAEL SANTI a painter of peaceful and beautiful people and intellectuals ( able to " lead " their minds ) from now and from the past the universe of the SPIRITS & SOULS : THE HUMAN
let's look again at the portrait of his friend Balthassare de Castiglione ( whose books about politeness and courtesy are still very valuable )
and you discover a very funny laughing face as the shadow of his hat.... 1st humoristics drawings !

- LEONARDO da VINCI, a viewer of hydraulics whirlwinds and other principles of mathematics ( see my essay on a contemporary lecture of Leonardo da Vinci's mathematical thinking ...for instance, as a painter, i demonstrated that Gioca-Onda is -also - a formula ). He foresaw further abstractions of the mind and abstractions over abstractions... then concretised as machines : The universe of FORMAL ABSTRACTION & RULES & IDEAS : THE COSMOS

LE TITIEN to Pr. C. S. PEIRCE and Sir R. PENROSE : UT PICTURA POESIS


Communicate together with civilisation, always prays for exacting " politeness of thinking & elegance of reasonning " ...



1- SYMBOLS

From Pr. Charles Sanders PEIRCE, HARVARD LECTURES ON THE LOGIC OF SCIENCES, W 1:274, 1865.

GRAMMAR UNIVERSAL
" Symbols, as such, are subject to three laws one of which is the conditio sine qua non of its standing for anything, the second of its translating anything, and the third of its realizing anything.
The first law is Logic, the second Universal Rhetoric the third Universal Grammar."


SHAPES pre-exist to human :

-) in the world : earth, sky, waters, vegetal reign, animal reign.
See also writings by french ethnologist Pr. Claude LEVI-STRAUSS...
-) as " reflects " in the Brain
See also english mathematician Sir Roger PENROSE...

To communicate we use those " shapes "
they may be expressed in the realm of
-) any of the 7 senses ( this already brings " several alphabet and correct rhetorics and correct grammars ")
-) abstractly from the brain

we may combine them.
For instance we say
-) " paragraph " we use §
-) x $ or n €
-) Helium or Hydrogen we may " draw " the circle's methods of Pr. Mendeleiev or write He & numbers etc...


2- LOGIC
grows as a plant, from the Brain...Think about Wolfgang Von GOETHE 's way to express within simplicity the processes of life and universe and how peer at it correctly. Thus knowledge appears as the " open road " you come on, from understanding " from one petal to next leaf " ...

this means how far and how deep we build in the " hippocampe " parts of the brains
and how fast and complex we arrange synapses
-) alone ; or
-) with others brains- living thinkers or dead thinkers through certain books ;
-) even with machines as google


3- RHETORICS
Also a fruit of logics and proceed from the synapses matter
starting by observation of the world : earth, sky, waters, vegetal reign, animal reign...
You may find " figures " which are shapes of reasonning and have the " shape " one may draw....


4- GRAMMAR
Also a fruit of logics and proceed from the synapses matter
starting by the VERB...
As in hieroglyphs for instance...
But also in the computer langages as studied for instance by Pr. Noam CHOMSKY (Generative and Tranformational Grammar).

Thus organise the elements to make sense in the right order...


As say french mathematician Pr. Henri POINCARÉ : " a beautiful idea bears lots of chances to be truth " and italian painter
Tiziano VECCELLIO said LE TITIEN : " ut pictura poesis "

HEALTH, ENVIRONMENT, NATURE


Cum Deus calculat fit Mundus,
Gottfried Wilhelm Von Leibniz.

As a tradition, Artist were part of the Medicine Brotherhoods...Medicine links to the topics of Nature and Health...

Expression of Life : Health reveals to be one of its main objectives.
Nature, Environment, Health, infer together in order to enhance immunity abilities. This speech is inspired by the ressources of humanist medical intelligence in the ethic for respect of life, humankind, environment and Nature.

The groundings are universal thinkers’views and three theories created in the XXth century. Those theories have been developped thanks to their coherence to biology’s phenomenons and ability to provide interesting interdisciplinary parallels for humankind. Proposals are :

1- Pr. Norbert Wiener ‘s cybernetics. It defines systems as ensemble of interactive elements. The exchanges obtained are communications. This leads to a great stability.

2- The extremely creative Palo Alto School : inspired by various disciplines from anthropology to mathematical logic ; psychiatry including the awareness of the “ spirit “considered as a “ black box “. Scientists as Pr Ludwig Van Bertalanfty, Pr Paul Bateson and pr. Paul Watzalwick demonstrates about paradox, contraints and how understand new sides of communications and how very disconnected - in appearance-factors may, in fact, co - operate.


3- The ethnographic theory of Pr. Claude Levi-Strauss. He developped through observation of humans living in Nature ; in Brazil ; and their relationship to langages, health and visuality.



Introducing the purpose is suggested as observing antique langages from Egypt, Sumer... or even the Vikings. Nature,
Environment, Health shall then be defined following the logical point of view, from Ludwig Von Wittgenstein.
Nature shall be proposed to be viewed ; as also, attempt of langage thus Environment and thus Health. Development shall be operated through 4 stages. Each one being associated to a specific image.


1- THE SYMETRY AS IN A LEAF

First moments of the Baby’s life shall be observed in order to identify communication as building the Huma Nature, as Nature in the world seems also communication. Thus are we comparing the human body and the Nature as langages targeted on themselves, having their own proper auto-communication.


2- THE CIRCULATION AS IN A DOUBLE SPIRAL
Bit grown Baby is now observed in his way to adress to someone else, for instance the mother... thus shall be demonstrated the building of “ signs “ and senses in a langage...Thus are we thinking the relationship between the human body and Nature’s through the food...



3- THE APOLLONIAN CIRCLES LOGIC
The young kid starts to draw ...2 surfaces : kind of Boolean, kind of
2 cells ; or two components...thus do we think about water drinking and get to compare the body as a brain... Through analogies as the starry lines on the skin, we compare the human body to the universe and their tangential points discovered by chinese ancient medicine.



4- HEAPS OF EAR OF THE CORN
we close our conversation on the dynamic of universe of the nature related to the dynamic of the human body. Still a lot of questions are to be taken into account to develop the new medicine innovative for the next century, through the use of only the power of the senses and the spirit onsidered as the highest energy as well as light, by Wolfgang Von Goethe. As the snow host hidden
structure as heaps or as the equilateral triangle ‘ s center... Equilibriums seems
to be essential to health, nature as well as environment... and relating them.

SHEPHERDS ' ELEGANTS VIEWS...


Art is Messages... But how is this that one Day people started to express " handly "... How describe hypothesis of understanding, starting from the antique structures of knowledges...


A- ) THE LIVING ( SPIRITED ) PERSON
one has inside ( the Brain ) kind of already done symbols.
For instance every Baby starts with uttering R ; D ; M ; B .
The egyptian langages of hieroglyphs ....starts with it R.
R expresses the eye or the mouth means express.
D shows the hand,
M focus on the eyes ( of the owl)
B evokes the motions through image of the down side of the legs and foot....

B-) THE EARTH AND THE NATURE
For instance in the hebrew world, the candlestick is the plant moriah and the burning bush may be the image of the blood tree in the brain and the spine.....
The six triangles star is ( related to some hieroglyphs ) and is viewable
- in the sea as vegetables and certain jellyfishes,
- on earth, for instance in lilies and the french " passiflora "
- in the skyes as snow flakes (whose shapes are always a marvel of wonder to me )....

From these both set of " objects " we discover the rhetorics of Dreams whose " figures of styles " have been defined by Sigmund Freud ( from antique langages ) and aristocratic litterature from before the age of lights in France and that was a mix of europe and middle east ...


C-) THE SKY AND SPACE
as stars dots were the components of the geometry studies and shapes of numbers...
Thus comes the greek letters from this study...
( when the indian maths seem to rise from the studies of the winds which means always moving " landscapes " ....)


knowledges are kind of continuities of persons thinking together through times .....and interaction between the person, and other persons and the Nature as a language or a kind of radio unceasingly vibrating
( that we " see " or " hear " or " experiment " or not through all possible senses....)
