This document discusses several perspectives on why modern science and technology did not emerge in China like they did in Western Europe. It mentions the views of Joseph Needham, Albert Einstein, and analyses differences in the development of geometry and experimentation between Chinese and European thinkers from the 16th-17th centuries. Scholars discussed include Hong Xiuquan, Joseph Needham, Marcel Granet, François Jullien, Jacques Derrida, André Leroi-Gourhan, and Watsuji Tetsuro.

This document discusses several topics related to abstraction layers, interfaces, and black boxes. It begins by describing different abstraction layers from the hardware level to operating systems and applications. It then analyzes the concepts of "The Anti-Mac Interface" and discusses design principles like direct manipulation and feedback. Several definitions and quotes about black boxes from sources like Latour and Ashby are provided. Finally, it briefly mentions concepts like Hayek, disintermediation, and mediation.
Rupali Gupte & Prasad Shetty:Propositions to see Cities Sun Quan Huang
The document discusses different perspectives on imagining cities and their futures. It presents two dominant imaginations of the future - one of apocalypse and one of high-tech utopia. Both imaginations view urbanization in a problematic light and see the city as a "project" to be fixed. The document then examines the city of Mumbai and identifies different areas within it. It argues that every condition in a city has multiple possible futures, depending on who is imagining it and how. It provides examples of potential futures for different areas of Mumbai, emphasizing that the future is not predetermined or singular.
The document appears to contain statistical data from 2004 and various percentages ranging from 6% to 69% alongside dates from 2011 relating to the creation and version history of something, including milestones like reaching over 200,000 of something and the release of versions 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0.
This single-word document is about architecture. Architecture is defined as "arkhi tekton", which is Greek for "chief builder" or "master builder". The document provides the Greek origin and definition of the word "architecture" in a very concise manner using only two words and their meaning.
