Bill told me about a French philosopher who remembered his childhood memories by returning to his childhood home, remembering that he ran his finger against the wall, to find that only when he ran his finger against the wall at the height of a 3-year old would the memories return. This ties into the idea of memory involving a dynamic mechanism between essences and their context.

Also thinking about this with regard to optical illusions. Think about this:

The oscillation between essence and context is very vivid here. As we become aware of the context, what was the essence becomes the context and then back again.

Must think about the relationship between context, essence and memory. In what way is it an ecological thing? How does it fit into the model that I already have?

Busy day on Eluminate with JISC!

Maybe I ought to write something.. I've put lots of videos up recently and no commentary! About to embark on more elluminate interviews. Lots of arguments yesterday concerning utopianism in elearning. There does seem to be something opening up with regard to agile development for process design. Should we let managers solve their own problems rather than determine the problems they ought to have? I think this is about 'finding the grain' in things and working with it. What is made out of a material is determined by the properties of that material, and the better these properties are known, the more successful the result.

The video is a rehearsal for New York...
