Points of Convergence and Divergence

When do we seek points of convergence or divergence?

To reach the same point though you are coming from different directions or to approach a finite limit when the number of terms in an infinite series increases. The process of moving apart to follow different paths or different courses or a characteristic of a sequence of numbers where the value of the last term and the sum of series are without limit.

Careful observation of everyday life reveals these vital properties of our very existence. It becomes easier to deal with problems when points of convergence and divergence are identified.

If we seek convergence, then we are sure of the goal state to reach. The only thing to be noted here is each follows its own path. The dynamics of an environment is due to the different courses taken by its entities. To approach a finite limit (in other words a goal state) that does not change with time, one needs to analyze the environment functionalities. The goal state is known apiori when this information is used (But is it possible to reach such a goal state?).

The last line of the previous paragraph is the very essence of points of divergence. Since a finite limit cannot be reached, there is no end to analysis or it is infinite. But analysis cannot be restricted with so many different paths in consideration. Then what are we to do with such analysis? Again, there is a need to reach finite state. This is the very essence of point of convergence.

If the journey of life is full of only observation, then there is no action. If observation is considered as an action, then there is a contradiction. Then what is the purpose of all this?

reading your thoughts makes me remember an experiment which I did while I was a kid.....filled a bulb with two contrastingly opposite coloured gases.....and then sealed it back......and then watched it for the whole day.......how things changed inside the bulb......convergence...divergence.......diffusion......and finally a milding effect. Later I got to read about Brownian Motion in the fluids.

Now replace me with someone known as 'god'....and the gas particles as we human beings....and make the bulb our system.....the system known as 'society'.

God played some trick on us....and he left us move in the Brownian Motion.....and he is the one who is enjoying the whole motion and its effect on the system. We converge, diverge, mingle, mild-down with time..........and reach a stable state by the time our end comes.

We might explain it in terms of any of the expressions we have learnt from our subjects.......but its all pre-planned by the sole one who is observing us from somewhere, I believe he is thoroughly enjoying his experiment.

nice thought... it always intrigues me that what is the purpose of life,.... why do we do the things we do.... is it destined or can we control it...!! Why are so many things out of our control.....??

AVADHANAM

One can always visit wikipedia and find out more about Indian more specifically the Telugu cultural program Avadhanam. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avadhanam I recently attended this program given by Dr. Garikipati Narasimha Rao and I was totally engrossed in the evening delight that ran for more than 3 1/2 hour s. This Ashtavadhanam had 8 Pruchhakas , 8, all well read pandits cross firing the expert. There are four rounds of questioning done by the prucchakas and the answers to questions are all in poetic language. As he started, I could not follow the meaning of the entire verse, but to my relief, he explained the verses with such details that even a layman could follow and learn from it. He not only answered the questions beautifully but they were also filled with ideas, knowledge from the vedas and the mythological stories, his own life experiences, and last but never the least his timing of humor was incredible. The eight pru...

Yawn… Yawn…Yawn...

Yawning at all inappropriate times!!! Is yawning considered a sign of boredom? Does it happen out of exhaustion? I am not sure, but yawning in the class is something I cannot resist. Sometimes it happens and the guy at the far end smiles with sympathetic eyes, probably thinking I am sleep deprived. Other occasions, my bench mate and I enjoy it with almost silent giggles. We proudly take turns yawning. Then there are those unfriendly looks from students saying, "Why don't you concentrate in the class?" I admire those who yawn in the class without much botheration and think it is some kind of class activity. While some classes are very interactive, I seldom speak in other classes. Proven to be contagious by psychological theories, it is good to see your fellow class mates yawning. The most inappropriate time is when the instructor catches you yawning and the most hilarious moment is when you catch your instructor yawning. I thank them for being a source of inspiratio...

An Ode to Bloggers

Your musings or soulful depictions Short melodies and science fictions Element of love in your verse Or thoughtless question that's terse I owe this ode to BWG Your endless swearing or equations Some videos amidst the chaos Some puzzles and some reviews A different view that sizzles I owe this ode to Mitti and Sarsiz Your ramblings and signboards, Offerings striking all right chords With a unique sophisticated diction Abstract thoughts told with conviction I owe this ode to Sleepyface, Njugu and The Freak.
