the ancient mazes like the. crete labyrinth by daedalus some initiation<br />

rite 'heroic' myth how. does it relate to codework has it some<br />

mythological dimensions. as i think about it the labyrinth is also a<br />

modulation between. the two notions of boundless and deadend and<br />

conceals the relationship. between the terms apeiron and aporia..<br />

Diodorus Siclus notices this. as he describes the labyr. apeiron is<br />

boundless but it is also aporia. without escape.. perhaps the aporia are<br />

like looped subroutines. along the boundless but inescapable path.. its<br />

seems to be somehow. about modulationinterpretation between open<br />

and closed systems... a couple of cites. The role of the cave in<br />

paleolithic religions appears to have been. decidedly important. Then<br />

too the cave and the labyrinth continue to have a. function of the first<br />

importance in the initiation rites of other archaic. cultures (as for<br />

example in Malekula) both indeed are concrete symbols. of passages<br />

into another world of a descent to the underworld p.. mircea. eliade<br />

shamanism.. on 'difficult passages' p. the symbolism of the strait gate<br />

and the dangerous bridge is bound up. with the symbolism of what we<br />

hav called the paradoxical passage because. it sometimes proves to be<br />

an impossibility or a situation from which there. cerain myths<br />

sometimes find themselves in apparently desperate situations.. They<br />

must go where night and day meets or find a gate in a wall or go up. the<br />

sky through a passage that opens but for an instant pass between two.<br />

constantly moving millstones two rocks that clash together through the.<br />

jaws of a monster and the like like supermario etc. As Coomaraswamy.<br />

rightly saw. all these mythical images express the need to transcend.<br />

opposites to abolish the popularity typical of the human condition in.<br />

order to attain the ultimate reality...and so on In the myth the.<br />

paradoxical passage emphatically testififes that he who succedes in.<br />

accomplishing it has transcended the human condition he is a shaman a.<br />

hero or a spirit and indeed the paradoxical passage can be.<br />

accomplished only by one who is spirit.. daidalonics for the posthuman<br />

cyborgs of the world the other ay ). an interesting drum.. the drums has<br />

the world view printed on it which is. their maze adventure 'd' so you'd<br />

have both the processing unit (drum. stick) and the image.. and the<br />

other stuff. chant dance speaking in. tongue curious codework<br />
