IMITATION IS THE RESULT OF INADEQUATE INFORMATION

CHANGE REQUIRES ENERGY

ENERGY IS THE RESULT OF INADEQUATE INFORMATION

ENERGY IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF A SYSTEM

FROM THE CINEMA WE RECEIVE CONCEPTUAL INFORMATION (IDEAS) AND DESIGN INFORMATION (EXPRESSION)

IN CONCERT THEY BECOME ONE PHENOMENON

THIS INFORMATION IS EITHER ADDITIVE OR REDUNDANT

USEFUL INFORMATION ACCELERATES CHANGE

REDUNDANT INFORMATION RESTRICTS CHANGE

REDUNDANT INFORMATION FINALLY BECOMES MISINFORMATION

ENTROPY SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD AS THE DEGREE OF OUR IGNORANCE ABOUT THAT CONDITION

IGNORANCE ALWAYS INCREASES WHEN A SYSTEM'S MESSAGES ARE REDUNDANT

IGNORANCE IS A STATE OF INCREASING CHAOS DUE TO MISINFORMATION ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF A SYSTEM



Variation 1

BUFFOONERY IS THE AFTERMATH OF INADEQUATE DATA

CURRENT REQUIRES NOURISHMENT

NOURISHMENT IS THE AFTERMATH OF INADEQUATE DATA

CURRENT IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO THE DOSE OF DETAILS ABOUT THE CAST OF THE BEING

FROM THE FILM WE RECEIVE CONCEPTUAL DATA (DISPOSITIONS) AND DESIGN DATA (FACES)

IN ACCORD THEY BECOME ONE MARVEL

THESE DETAILS ARE EITHER ADDITIVE OR REDUNDANT

USEFUL DETAIL ACCELERATES CURRENT

REDUNDANT DETAIL RESTRICTS CURRENT

REDUNDANT DETAIL FINALLY BECOMES ERROR

BUSINESSLIKE BEHAVIOUR SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD AS THE ANGLE OF OUR BANISHMENT ABOUT THAT AFFLICTION

BANISHMENT ALWAYS INCREASES WHEN A BEING'S IMPORT IS REDUNDANT

IGNORANCE IS A CONFIDENCE OF INCREASING BROUHAHA DUE TO ERROR ABOUT THE CAST OF A BEING



Variation 2

BUFFOONERY IS THE AFTERMATH OF BOTCHING DATA

CURRENT REQUIRES NOURISHMENT

NOURISHMENT IS THE AFTERMATH OF BOTCHING DATA

CURRENT IS DIRECTLY BALANCED BY THE DOSE OF DETAILS ABOUT THE CAST OF THE BEING

FROM THE FILM WE RECEIVE CONCEPTUAL DATA (DISPOSITIONS) AND DESIGN DATA (FACES)

IN ACCORD THEY BECOME ONE MARVEL

THESE DETAILS ARE EITHER FURTHER OR BANAL

APPLICABLE DETAIL ACCELERATES CURRENT

BANAL DETAIL RESTRICTS CURRENT

BANAL DETAIL FINALLY BECOMES ERROR

ENTERPRISING BEHAVIOUR SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD AS THE ANGLE OF OUR BANISHMENT ABOUT THAT AFFLICTION

BANISHMENT ALWAYS INCREASES WHEN A BEING'S IMPORT IS BANAL

IGNORANCE IS A CONFIDENCE OF CONTINUAL BROUHAHA DUE TO ERROR ABOUT THE CAST OF A BEING



Variation 3

BURLESQUE IS THE CONSEQUENCE OF BUNGLING DETAILS

ELECTRICITY ASSERTS ENERGY

FLUX IS NOW SYMMETRICAL ADJACENT TO THE PORTION OF NUANCES CLOSE TO THE CONFORMATION OF THE PERSON

FROM THE FLICK WE INTERVIEW RESOLVED DISCIPLINES (STATES) AND INTENT KNOWLEDGE (CRUSTS)

IN UNITY THEY BECOME UNSHARED STARINGS

THESE NITS ARE EITHER ANOTHER OR INNOCUOUS

CONVENIENT ANALYSES HURRY FLUX

BORING DEFINITION HAMPERS RUSHING

DULL INTERPRETATION AT LAST BECOMES MISREADING

CLEVER DEMEANOUR MUST BE IMPLIED BY THE EXECUTION OF OUR DISMISSAL ABOUT THAT WORM

EXCLUSION CONSTANTLY SWELLS WHEN A BEING'S SIGNIFICANCE IS TASTELESS

EXECUTION IS AN OUTLOOK OF PROGRESSIVE MAYHEM MERITED BY FAUX PAS ABOUT THE FACE OF A LIFE

TRANSPOSITIONS of Gene Youngblood

0, 1, 2, 3 & 9

Imitation is the result of inadequate information. Change requires energy. Energy is the result of inadequate information. Energy is directly proportional to the amount of information about the structure of a system. From the cinema we receive conceptual information (ideas) and design information (expression). In concert they become one phenomenon. This information is either additive or redundant. Useful information accelerates change. Redundant information restricts change. Redundant information finally becomes misinformation. Entropy should be understood as the degree of our ignorance about that condition. Ignorance always increases when a system's messages are redundant. Ignorance is a state of increasing chaos due to misinformation about the structure of a system.

Buffoonery is the aftermath of inadequate data. Current requires nourishment. Nourishment is the aftermath of inadequate data. Current is directly proportional to the dose of details about the cast of the being. From the film we receive conceptual data (dispositions) and design data (faces). In accord they become one marvel. These details are either additive or redundant. Useful detail accelerates current. Redundant detail restricts current. Redundant detail finally becomes error. Businesslike behaviour should be understood as the angle of our banishment about that affliction. Banishment always increases when a being's import is redundant. Ignorance is a confidence of increasing brouhaha due to error about the cast of a being.

Buffoonery is the aftermath of botching data. Current requires nourishment. Nourishment is the aftermath of botching data. Current is directly balanced by the dose of details about the cast of the being. From the film we receive conceptual data (dispositions) and design data (faces). In accord they become one marvel. These details are either further or banal. Applicable detail accelerates current. Banal detail restricts current. Banal detail finally becomes error. Enterprising behaviour should be understood as the angle of our banishment about that affliction. Banishment always increases when a being's import is banal. Ignorance is a confidence of continual brouhaha due to error about the cast of a being

Burlesque is the consequence of bungling details. Electricity asserts energy. Flux is now symmetrical adjacent to the portion of nuances close to the conformation of the person. From the flick we interview resolved disciplines (states) and intent knowledge (crusts). In unity they become unshared starings. These nits are either another or innocuous. Convenient analyses hurry flux. Boring definition hampers rushing. Dull interpretation at last becomes misreading. Clever demeanour must be implied by the execution of our dismissal about that worm. Exclusion constantly swells when a being's significance is tasteless. Execution is an outlook of progressive mayhem merited by faux pas about the face of a life

Caricature curative kooky dope. Emphasise. Animation orderly optical drivel irritant. Equal to. Fragment trivia opposite. Form melodrama frosty toss. Discourse hardness furthermore wisdom current medical. Odd ideal. Gentry dissimilar. Apropos hastiness humdrum foil stodgy. Around cradle inhibited pose. Exist at. Circumstance ouster quite infirmity promo amplify several. Import gaudy slosh future. Continuing due exhausted. Approximately brashness. A existence least life subsistence survival.
