Basho (Specific Condition)
After some more (noisy mind) thoughts about not thinking; I feel the poem from the last blog entry should be considered as a relationship stated in a general condition (without direct value or value in a positive or negative sense) furthermore, I think the poem would be easier read in the specific condition. So I have a new version in the specific condition. (see above)
The mathematical structure remains the same as the last poem and can be seen on the last blog entry.
The Poem is derived as such:
Starting with the ideas that the Splash is to the Waveless Old Pond as Frog is to No Self and as Noisey mind is to clear Mind. Which is set up mathematically as:
Splash/Waveless Old Pond = Frog/No Self = Noisy Mind/Clear Mind
and arbitrarily choosing to use flavor five from the expanded similar triangles poem examples we can see that the next line can be set up as g/h = a-d/b-e
Which translates as:
Splash / Waveless Old Pond = (Frog - Noisy Mind)/( No Self- Clear Mind)
The variables are as such:
Frog =a
No Self =b
Noisy Mind=d
Clear Mind= e
Splash=g
Waveless Old Pond=h
An aesthetic decision to solve for a and using the third example from flavor five yields: a= g(b-e)/h + d
Therefore:
Frog = (Splash(No Self – Clear Mind)/ Waveless Old Pond) + Noisy Mind
