a visitation

here is the premise:

my name is ralph wilson. i am a graduate student in mathematics at florida state university. my passion is complex systems. likely, anyone else's passion is also some special case of a complex system, whether they are familiar with the term or not.

i will get more into what that might mean later.

i have been offered an internship this summer (2010) in philadelphia to study complex systems from an experimental stand point. in particular, my interest is nonlinear dynamics of complex systems. again, more on what that is later.

this blog is an attempt to document this summer, namely, the work, observations, and incidents (incidence) contained within.

i hope to partially succeed.
i will use audio recordings a good deal, because i may not have too much free time to write. such recordings, i will try to keep under ten minutes a piece, since it is not a terribly effortless medium to consume from.

this is the start.
