The brain habituates itself to the expected, it is the dangerous unexpected towards which much of its cognitive apparatus is geared. ne hears the clock stop ticking. Did Joan expect Maxwell's silver hammer? Well, we know that she was "…quizzical/studied pataphysical science in the home" so it is extremely probable. Let us simply assert, with Derrida, that it is possible for an object (or, more generally, an event) to be both expected and unexpected; the waveform collapses down to - incredibly! - a paradox when examined. The problem here is of course encapsulated by Gödel's theorem, which (vulgarly) states that there will always be a surprise. |
