P & Q

P:

P / Absolute Perfection so dependent upon ignorance and distance in time and space. Spots at a distance seem perfectly round. Historical characters, saints, etc., perfect when not investigated. The idea of an Absolute King to those who not know his dependences of absolute science to the untutored. [AF-III: 191.1, 191.2.]

P / All words relative words by delusion that their opposites are true. Idea of change—idea of stability. [AF-III; 192.]

P / Conflict and Absoluteness / Conviction of each side it is right. [AF-III; 193.]

P / Design and Evolution / Modern Review 5-641. [AF-III; 194. (Modern Review, 5-641.)]

(P) / Dog intelligence and understanding words / 1927, Oct 11 and Oct 30, H. Trib Magazine. [AF-III; 195. (New York Herald Magazine, October 11 and October 30, 1927.)]

P / Epistomology / The branch of speeculation that examines the grounds, validity and limits of human knowledge. [AF-III; 196.]

P / Explanation / Will serve for something and the very different. That motion seeks least resistance. So one walks in straight line from X to Y. X—Y / But one walks X[illustration]Y. Because one wants exercise—Then that too is least resistance or accommodation to desire for a walk. [AF-III: 197.1, 197.2.]

P / Forms of Knowledge / Extensions / Assimilations / Co-ordinations. [AF-III; 198.]

P / Generalizations / True that forces act against the conspicuous. / Tree attracts lightning, wind level a sand heap, but opposite true—or that other things attracted by and organized around and strengthen the conspicuous. [AF-III; 199.]

P / Gresham's Law in intellection—cheap opinions always drive out more expensive opinions. So far as being of any influence is concerned those of us who have expressly learned some things might as well keep quiet. [AF-III; 200.]

P / If things we know are ruled by the forms of knowing, there may be a knowledge that is independent of forms of knowing. [AF-III; 201.]

P / Increase an opposite and = same. Moderation vs intemperance, but Prohibition = Intemperance. [AF-III; 202.]

P / Intelligence / Dogs / Albert Payson Terhune, Herald-Trib, mag. section, Oct 30, 1927—tells of many dogs lying by fire, and have seen him replenish the fire with wood. Some, when fire go low, have gone to him and looked pleadingly at him to replenish, but never did he have a dog that knew enough to go to the wood poile and itself replenish the fire. [AF-III: 203.1, 203.2. (New York Herald Tribune, October 30, 1927, magazine section.)]

P / Knowledge may be the result of experience, but the forms of knowledge are not. [AF-III; 204.]

P / Mechanics and Life / The Experimental, though expressible in terms of stimuli and responses, not the same as the learned, and mechanically performed. Difference like that of a watch if hand should feel out for 12 o'clock, pause, go back to 11, try again, jump to 1, and go back somewhere near 12. [AF-III: 205.1, 205.2.]

P / Metarel. / Liv. frogs, etc., in rocks. Alive but meninged relations. [AF-III; 206.]

P / Monitoring "Final" pos would be extinction, "Final" neg would be extinction or the eq. of not being, But a posie between the two equilibria, though neither would be the eq. of being eq of assimilating. / X becomes more and more like Y, but absolutely like Y is Y, or extinction. [AF-III: 207.1, 207.2.]

P / Pragmatism / War. Something that worked out usefully to Germans vs French. True to Germans and false to the French? [AF-III; 208.]

P / Qualitative difference / A bone and an eye—but both of them same protoplasmic origin. [AF-III; 209.]

P / Species and Stability / Little change in men's clothes. / Strong forces to conserve. Anybody radically changing would be very likely flogged out of some communities or ridiculed out of others—perhaps arrested in others for causing a crowd to collect. / But women's clothes still plastic. [AF-III; 210.]

P / The forms of thought are multiplying—To know anything one has to learn from start to finish, but there are no beginnings and n endings except relatively. [AF-III; 211.]

P / Thought forms / Assimilation / That X is to Z as A is to B. That there is a God to adults as adults are to children. [AF-III; 212.]

P / Thoughts without words / I was going down Lenox Ave, about 3 blocks below 125th Street. A man sitting on a stoop said to me, "Where is 125th Street?" I said: "It's the next street above 124th Street." I did no thinking in words, and had no time to think as words. What I said represented a host of impressions. Here is a fellow sitting on a stoop. Drunk perhaps and not calling for a serious answer. He's so near 125th Street that of course he knows where that is. He is asking me something that he very well knows, and the fitting reply is something else that he knows. [AF-III: 213.1, 213.2, 213.3.]

[Parallax]:

Parallax / If of 3/10 second means that radius of eart[h']s orbit would from the star fill 3/10th second of arc. / [illustration]. [AF-I; 393.]

Parallax / Negative by phtography / Newcomb, "The Stars," p. 151 / "Certainly unreal. [AF-I; 394. (Newcomb, "The Stars," p. 151.)]

Parallax / Negative / 15 of 92 "errors of observation", says Newcomb, The Stars, p. 152. [AF-I; 395. (Newcomb, The Stars, p. 152.)]

Parallax / No parallax of Andromeda Nebula / Observatory 22/376. [AF-I; 396. (Observatory, 22-376.)]

Parallax / Occult Venus by moon / India / May 3, 1875. [AF-I; 397. See: (1875 May 3).]

Parallax / of a star is angle under which radius of earth's orbit is seen from star. [AF-I; 398.]

Parallax of Moon / [illustration] / Subtract measured angles from 180° gives inside angles. / Serviss, Astro in a Nutshell, p. 139. [AF-I; 399. Serviss, Garrett. Astronomy in a Nutshell. p. 139.)]

Parallax / So small can't be seen naked eye. Ab 4" seen with n.e. / Yet backlog so great is obvious there is change of position. [AF-I; 400.]

Parallax / "The companion star should be at least 8 times as far away as the principal star" or measured star. / Ball, The Story of the Heavens, p. 415. [AF-I; 401. (Ball. The Story of the Heavens, p. 415.)]

[Parrots]:

Parrots / In Cephalus. [AF-III; 214.]

Parrots / Nov. 14 / They can't get used to the hiss of the radiator. We hear them moaning something like—"Oh!—oh!—oh!—oh!" and have to go and shut it off. Then they go to sleep. [AF-III; 215.]

Parrots / Nov. 28 / Remarkable that Peary, nipping every time we touch him, has never bitten either of us. Sometimes they fly up on my head, one after the other. I put up a finger for them to perch on, to take them down. Without seeing them I distinctly know one from the other. Peary's beak is so keen-edged, compared with hard-working Becky's blunted edges. Becky so much slower than Peary. I tease her, tapping her on the beak to box, or fence with her. She looks at me stupidly—then with some surprise—then slowly raised a foot to ward off my finger, all in silence. Only touch Peary and he's screeching and boxing and nipping and his hand-foot out to box or fence. [AF-III: 216.1, 216.2, 216.3.]

Parrots / Nov 30 . I have seen Becky, in one of her rages, trembling, glowering, muttering, and Annie speaking coaxingly to her, holding out a finger to her, Becky's beak opening and shutting, but Becky controlling herself and not biting. Peary has nothing like these rages. He has frenzies, and then he's chirping, singing, playing. / BO / Geographical lies toward last / Refer back to Peary and give the list of other mistakes. Mechanism and the Machinist / all life and the whole / BO / other auroras / volc e[word erased]. [AF-III: 217.1, 217.2, 217.3.]

Par[rots] / Dec 1 / There may be something to it, but I give up the idea of a kind of chivalry in Peary, as I now see the birds. It is fright. Now, at the first signs of rage in Becky, Peary cowers and huddles. He always fights back, but it is fighting in a strained, and, as it were, unnatural position, always down under somewhere, and Becky on a perch or on a box corner, domineering over him. [AF-III: 218.1, 218.2.]

Par[rots] / Dec. 10 / As soon as I sat down to dinner, the two birds landed on the top of my head. I don't know how many times I put them off. I gave in to their superior determination. They soon started up fight-play with a tuft of my hair instead of a stick. Each grabbed it, and each squealed when the other tried to pull it away. Now and then they battled all over the top of my head, but mostly they stood with their grab on my tuft of hair, pulling or one daring the other to pull. I am enslaved by them because I don't want to put them in the cage. If I did that they'd resent it so that maybe they wouldn't fly to the top of my head and pull hair and enslave me any more. In fight-play over a stick, though Peary always gives in, after twenty minutes or half an hour, he is not in the least less combative than Becky. But he has no tactics. He simply grabs and keeps the grab as long as he can. Sometimes he starts it, but oftener Becky does the daring by taking a stick and thrusting it against his beak, daring him to try to get it. Becky often croons to him, or "reasons with him," as Annie says, to let her have it; keeps a tight hold, but nestles up to him, with her head o his shoulder. He has no such tricks. Notice the change of fashions in the Becky-and-I-relations. Holding and gnawing have been given up. All the rage is the top of the head game now. [AF-III: 219.1 to 219.6.]

[The following two notes were clipped together by Fort. AF-III: 220 & 221.]

Par[rots] / Dec 10 / later / I'm not so mad about it now. But I have had some thoughts on bird-worship. The way it was—Annie brought in both birds and both flew from her at once, Peary to the window frame, and Becky, the monomaniac, with her new mania, to the top of my head. Annie tried to remove her. She started making the truculent sounds that meant that she would bite. Annie spoke coaxingly, but the bird kept on with her warning; so Annie went for a cloth. There was something about letting a little bird get away with so much that jarred on me. I put up my hand to her and got a bite. She bit me again. I threw her down on the floor, but didn't hurt her. I want no more to do with that bird. [AF-III: 220.1 to 220.4.]

Par[rots] / Dec 9 / I saw Peary trying to take a stick from becky. This was unusual. "No," said Annie: "she's just taken it from him." They sat, each holding the stick, squealing when we pulled. Peary never shows fear these times. This is play-fight, and Becky does not crouch and mutter. I tried each with another stick. Each would have nothing to do with anything but the disputed stick. Becky, the more determined character, won. [AF-III: 221.1, 221.2.]

Parrots / Becky, the monomaniac / Nothing in either of them like gathering material for nest making. I wonder whether Becky's work in special places relates to ancestral enlargements of openings in hollow trees. [AF-III; 222.]

Parrots / Talking / In the cage, complaining, chirping. We leave the room. They stop immediately. / Must think their talk was meant for us. [AF-III; 223.]

Parrot / talk / They have picked up from Annie to laugh and sing first four notes of the scale. / Wig-a-Waw! [ Did-did-did-did-did / Quit it! Quit it! Quit it—as if meaning this in English—if picked up roughly, for instance / The growl is R-r-r-r-r-r / a whirring growl / My-y Gawd! / drawled / Fluff-fluff / drowsily / A tinkling sound Annie calls "telephoning" / musical / This theirs. The other birds not have it. [AF-III: 224.1, 224.2.]

Partridge story / Genius-bird aware of a dif Life. Try for contact but fears. [AF-III; 225.]

[Phil]:

[The following two notes were folded together by Fort. AF-III: 231 & 232.]

Ph / Absolute / Simply an arbitrary idea—Like of causation. [AF-III; 231.]

[Ph] / Ex / Sept 13, 1928 / Late last night the drip woke me up, or I woke and heard it going on. After a long interval I heard one and then counted 16. Then 22. / Some indefiniteness. Then 16—then 22. / Indefiniteness. I think I counted faster and got 18 and then 24. / Letters 16 and 22 are P.V.—initials of my grandfather P.V. Fort. [AF-III: 232.1, 232.2. Peter Van Vranken Fort.]

Phil / All relative terms / static—dynamic / good—evil / fixed—unfixed / final—temporary / infinite—finite. [AF-III; 233.]

Phil / As if everything that looks like law, somewhere purposely set aside. If to gain in one respect is to lose it in another—but see little Owl. See day and night almost equally well. See Appetites depraved or abnormal. [AF-III; 234.]

Phil / By a truth I mean an agreement, such as with a standard, or bet description and occurred. In the sense of truth, can not be truth. FInal agree with nothing. / Truth not Agreement, but agreement of something with something else. [AF-III; 235.]

Phil / Category = fundamental assertion. [AF-III; 236.]

Phil / Cogito ergo sum / I think relative thoughts. The relative is not the real. Therefore, I am not real. [AF-III; 237.]

Phil / Dempsey knocks Tunney down—But if particles never touch, Dempsey's fist, in the finer view, was never anywhere near Tunney. So it was simply by Tunney's acceptance of a convention that fists touch that he was knocked down. Suppose he had firmly believed that he could not be touched and could not be knocked down. / But particles composing Tunney do not touch. Suppose accept that a wall that can not touch me can not resist me. Then I can walk right through a wall if it can not touch me. [AF-III: 238.1, 238.2, 238.3.]

Phil / Everything produces its similar and opposite action—same action and reaction. / Order induces order and its reaction disorder. So a falling object striking earth induces perpendicular stress and itself bounds back. [AF-III; 239.]

Phil / Evil / Because of specialization / Specialize upon learning = physical cost. [AF-III; 240.]

Phil / How limit of a series becomes the absolute—like water heating more and more to limit and then becomes something else or steam. [AF-III; 241.]

Phil / Ideals as the static—Christianity—do unto others—So I will invent nothing, because that put old timers out of business—that good for others can not be considered—that equals multiplication. [AF-III; 242.]

Ph / Idealism / Hume said—We know mind, too, only as perception. Or that whatever [George] Berkeley argued that matter not exist—by the same token, mind does not exist. [AF-III; 243.]

Phil / Idealism . But the known is compelled by phe. At first he thinks earth flat, or made 6000 years ago, but phe compel different ideas. [AF-III; 244.]

Phil / Idealism / I can see somebody else affected by something that he had no idea of. But he only an indea of mine? I say so. But I ask him about it. He says that he is not a mere idea of mine. But if nevertheless all are ideas, here are two ideas not in agreement. [AF-III; 245.]

Ph / Idealism / Then a fancied apple be as good as a so called material apple. What is there that makes the difference? [AF-III; 246.]

[The following two notes were folded together by Fort. AF-II: 247 & 248.]

Ph / If our existence be an organism it is if metarelative not like an animal organism. No organs corresponding to stomach or lungs, which are centers of relations with environment. [AF-III; 247.]

[AF-III; 248.]

Phil / I have been mournfully explaining my failures on basis that I have always sought the impossible. But so has everybody else, and yet there are what are called successes. Nothing altogether works out. And yet a Newton and a Darwin, etc., can compose their views upon the world and have whatis called success. [AF-III: 249.1, 249.2.]

Ph / Instinctive sometimes not to be trusted—errors of absent-mindedness. [AF-III; 250.]

Phil / Is it necessary to swing always between wide extremes and their evils? Between great drunkenness and the attempt for absolute Prohibition? Must moderation always be the product of wide, wild swings of action and reaction? They are of the intensity of youth. Very likely a civilization that could be moderate without learning from widely different extremes would be an old, perhaps senile, civilization. [AF-III: 251.1, 251.2.]

Phil / It is not being an ego that one can think—Thinking is one part of a mind surveying other parts. [AF-III; 252.]

Phil / Monism / How can I show that yellowness is juiciness and sphericity? Concretely, color and shape and juiciness of an orange are all dependent upon one another. There are no abstract shapes and colors and juices. [AF-III; 253.]

Ph / Only arbitrarily is anything relative, if only arbitrarily anything is. [AF-III; 254.]

Phil / Perception of Continuity = the breakdown of Existence's attempt for false real differences. [AF-III; 255.]

Phil / Phil of Potential = Change / Can be no real change in the Universal or be a different universal. [AF-III; 256.]

Phil / That the Absolute can not reason—can not add to itself. / Bu this is according to our reasoning. If we accept—by more reasoning—that we can not portray the Absolute—and that what we think of it must be wrong, the suspicion is that the Absolute can add to itself. [AF-III; 257.]

Phil / That there is a Universal, I have arrived at only deductively. Because I can not find beginning nor ending, I deduce the Infinite. But if things are unreal things, if I have to think that they are infinite, I have to think they are not really inifinite, or that the word "real" can apply to nothing of them. [AF-III: 258.1, 258.2.]

Phil / That we are in Nirvana now if everything generates its Cancellation. That Nirvana looks to us like Nothingness because not what we think is existence. If not what ours is, is real existence. [AF-III; 259.]

Philosophy / The difficulty of trying to understand a philosopher. / One tries to understand him as if he inderstood. / But it is to understand his misunderstanding. / I can't read one this way. When I come to a part that I think is wrong, I can't accept that an then go on. [AF-III; 260.]

Ph / The individual as false / All accept Evolution, but Darwinism and Spencerisan Evolution pass away. [AF-III; 261.]

Phil / There can not be the Absolute [of] anything such as good, evil, or logic. They are relations or are relative. [AF-III; 262.]

Phil / Strange thing is that for the deceptions of human eyes, beautiful things have been made beautiful—To a microscopic eye outlines of a butterfly's wings would be ragged and it[s] design an array of blotches and the camera so reports things. [MB-I; 429.]

[Photographs & Photography]:

Photo / Astronomers not satisfied with results of obs on transit of Venus, 1874, 1882; and Young, The Sun, p. 26, says that photographic determinations of "contact" of Venus and the sun were, astronomically considered, "entirely worthless". [AF-I; 402. (Young, Charles Augustus. The Sun, p. 26.)]

Photography / 4 stars with more parallax than 0.1" in small area—violates all probability, says Newcomb, p. 151, The Stars—7. [AF-I; 403. ( Newcomb, p. 151, The Stars.)]
