Varela was particularly impressed by Spencer-Brown’s interpretation of paradox when certain higher degree equations reentered themselves. When this occurred, marked states appeared to equate with unmarked ones.
Rather than view this as the simultaneous presence of contradictory states, Spencer-Brown understood this as an oscillation between different, opposite states of the form. With this insight, Spencer-Brown believed he'd discovered the primitive foundations of time emanating out of primitive space implied by first distinctions.
Computer poetry is warfare carried out by other means, a warfare against conventionality and language that has become automatized. Strange as it seems, our finite state automata have become the poet’s allies in this struggle, the long historical battle by which mankind pries into the surface of language to reveal its latent mysteries… R.W. Bailey, Computer Poems (1973)
