Because
the asking
of original
questions
is a
consequence
of
interferences
and because
interferences
are products
of
time sequences
it follows
that original
questions
are both
functions
and products
of
time.

piece

Only a

months ago
we learned
from a
colleague
how to
apply
to problems
of nervous
function
a
new type
of
vacuum tube
developed
for radar
that can
store
vast quantities
of numerical
information
and then
give out
the
stored data
in
the form
of
an average
of
all the
separate
observations.

The bitter
and
frustrated
residual
feeling
due to
a lousy
shtup
afflicts
millions more
Americans
than does
halitosis.
It
is not
surprising
that faced
with
universal
destruction
our art
should
at last
speak
with unimpeded
force
and unveiled
honesty
to a future
which
may well
be non-existent
in
a last
effort
of recognition
which
is the
justification
of
being.
It is
time
to protest
everywhere
and in
every way
that the
system
of repression
presently
in force
is more
monstrous
and degrading
to mankind
than any
other
that has
ever
been
applied.

we find
that this

about
the size

of a

can
penetrate
the neural
noise

so that
we can
detect
and
recognize
the specific

to our

that
we never
dreamed

The orders
given
the machine
are fed
into it
by
a taping
which is
completely
predetermined

the actual

met
in the

are handed
over
as
a basis
of
further regulation
to
a new
control tape
constructed
by
the machine
itself.
