rhyming dictionares, precursors of the "computational version of the poetic principle realized by LLMs"?
bsky.app/profile/thes...
Metalanguage carries out a code-clarifying operation by establishing an equivalence between two terms in a sequence. “‘Unicorn’ is a one-horned horse” makes the predicate equal to the subject to explain the semantics of that subject. The poetic function reverses this operation; Jakobson says that the two functions are in “diametrical opposition.”35 Poetry uses an equation to build a sequence; it “projects the principle of equivalence from the axis of selection into the axis of combination. Equivalence is promoted to the constitutive device of the sequence.”36 Rather than explanation, we get equivalence based on rhyme, or placement, or some other principle. The final rhyme pairs coupled with internal rhymes that allow the rhyme to move off their initial scheme creates a pattern that is not explanatory but productive. Metalanguage is about the code; poetry is about the message. Poetry illustrates this generative function in language, demonstrating the peculiar play of making equations of terms that are not semantically equivalent: “In poetry one syllable is equalized with any other syllable of the same sequence; word stress is assumed to equal word stress, as unstress equals unstress; prosodic long is matched with long, and short with short; word boundary equals word boundary, no boundary equals no boundary; syntactic pause equals syntactic pause, no pause equals no pause.”37 Rhythm and sound create nonconceptual equivalence. Jakobson’s mantra for the poetic function’s ability to produce that effect was that words similar in sound are drawn together in meaning. Poetics was the arena in which Jakobson hoped to realize a truly structuralist phonology, one that operates by combination and recombination of sound-level paradigms that are then extended into sequence to generate meaning. Rather than crystallizing a concept, it uses sound to explore the regions around given concepts. But the poetic function has long since left adherence solely to sound behind. There is something like a textual poetic function in which we all participate when we communicate in the secondarily oral systems of social media and short message service communication. And now there is, for the first time, a computational version of the poetic principle realized by LLMs. We could think of it as matrix poetics, although it is almost certainly too early to characterize it aesthetically with any surety. While the poetic function is most easily spotted in art, however, it is, for Jakobson, everywhere. His famous example is Dwight Eisenhower’s campaign slogan “I like Ike.” In its asymmetrical echo, it imparts a “paranomastic image of a feeling which envelops its object.” Sticky is indeed a major effect of the poetic function (my term, not Jakobson’s). It generates by remaining in mind, by holding its place in the high-dimensional matrix of language as such. Little rhythms with word combinations stick to us; we use them as chunks to navigate things; we sing-song our way through the day. A word or phrase can get stuck in your head just as much as a song. This is why the poetic function is good for advertising. Those dactyls are everywhere: “no one outpizzas the Hut” (the final two shorts are implied). Equivalences emerge laterally and vertically and leap across apparent boundaries, failing to obey representational or cognitive common sense but remaining (indeed, defining) “natural” for speakers of the language. I don’t have informational knowledge laid out in referential terms and only then access to the web of rhythm and phrase that makes up language.

Jesus Christ wasn't always on the best of terms with the vegetal world (Mark 11:12). Maybe it'll be one of those stories in which two superheroes fight each other because of a misunderstanding, only to team up later?

Imposíbel para min sentir nostalxia dos 80, cando non había ningures un skatepark no que aplicarme co monopatín que me agasallara o tío Xesús; daquela non había sitios para andar nin co monopatín nin ca bici nin hostias.

This makes me think of all the Elizabethan/Jacobean masques and plays where people are transformed into trees and vice versa.

(This costume is later than that of course. But similar idea, perhaps)

2/ Our central claim: Across his system, Hegel builds an account of colonialism as racial domination, linking world history, freedom, property, and statehood. It’s grounded in the four-stages theory and what he calls the absolute right of the Idea, vindicating colonialism in the name of liberty.
A colour lithograph published as a supplement to The Graphic for the Indian and Colonial Exhibition (24 July 1886), showing the British Empire in pink and centred on Greenwich. Britannia sits enthroned above the globe, framed by banners reading Freedom, Fraternity, and Federation. Around the border, allegorical figures represent the empire’s peoples: Indigenous hunters and labourers at the margins, traders, soldiers, and settlers nearer the imperial core. Insets list trade, population, and area statistics, fusing allegory with empirical data. Animals and crops – elephants and tigers for India, kangaroos and sheep for Australia – mark each region by its resources and stage of economic life (Driver 2010). Crane’s composition depicts a hierarchy of civilisation. Britannia embodies imperial authority, while her subjects appear as differentiated types of labour and culture. The blend of commercial data and moral imagery turns empire into a story of progress, where freedom, property, and self-government are equated with discipline and productivity. The bent “Asian porter” and Atlas labelled Human Labour expose the burden that sustains this freedom (Driver 2010). The map’s spatial order mirrors the stadial logic of Scottish four-stages anthropology that also shapes Hegel’s philosophy of world history. Hunters, pastoralists, agriculturalists, and commercial peoples occupy successive ranks in a teleology culminating in Europe as bearer of universal freedom. The banners of Freedom and Federation vindicate colonial domination, echoing Hegel’s historical theodicy in which the “absolute right of the Idea” is realised through European expansion (Driver 2010). Reference Felix Driver, “In Search of the Imperial Map: Walter Crane and the Image of Empire,” History Workshop Journal 69 (2010): 146–157. A black-and-white engraving depicting Hegel lecturing at the University of Berlin. He stands before rows of students, gesturing with one hand while holding a manuscript in the other. His face is animated, suggesting the intensity of oral exposition. The students below him sit closely packed, taking notes or gazing upward toward the lectern, where the philosopher appears framed by a dark wooden pulpit and a high window that lets in a diffuse light. The scene evokes, amongst others, Hegel’s lectures on the Philosophy of History in the winter term of 1822–1823, when he proclaimed that Europe represents the culmination of world history. In these lectures, Hegel argued that the principle of freedom had been fully realised in modern Christian Europe and that what lay outside it was “intrinsically overcome.” “For Europeans,” he declared, “the world is round” – the globe itself already encompassed by Europe’s spiritual and political dominion.

It made the typical „squeezing out what is there and stripping the rest for parts“ that private equity likes to do very hard.
It also created a lot of opportunity for effective cooperation

But it also hindered competition and influenced state policy
