Over the years I have become interested in and studied the I Ching, Stephen Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science", and electrical engineering.

Since the I Ching is about change, and ANKS is about classes of change, I realized a while ago that Wolfram's "classes of computation" were actually analogous to the four different states in the I Ching: Yin, Yin changing to Yang, Yang, and Yang changing to Yin. I spent a very long time meditating on which classes of computation were related to which yin/yang states.

Then, most recently, I have become fascinated with Electric Universe theory and electricity in general. It all fell into place when I watched "Finding the Missing Memristor", a talk by R. Stanley Williams, a scientist who has been lecturing about the fact that there is a fourth fundamental circuit element along side the resistor, capacitor, and inductor -- the memristor.
