I didn't find these as having been included, so here they are.

Wanderings

Surfing from the page about the nine siddhis I came across this one
http://www.geocities.com/jiji_muge/shape.html

And a rather interesting section:

Quote:

A tree can be a map of space or time or psyche, or it can be a map of information. Tree-shaped data structures are essential parts of all computer software systems because trees offer an effective and orderly way to store and retrieve large amounts of binary information. A tree in which each branchpoint leads to exactly two branches is the direct visual analog of binary code, because you can get from the trunk to any one of the leaves by making one of two decisions at each branchpoint.
[see picture "Tree" which I am including below. Steff]
To programmers who are trying to write software to emulate human problem-solving, tree-shaped strategies are "a way to fan out quickly into a solution space." The first computer chess programs tried the "brute force" method of evaluating the consequences of every possible move at every step of the game, but the most powerful computers, then and now, bog down in the explosion of possibilities that happens if you try to look down too many branches in a recursively branching structure. It was Claude Shannon, the father of information theory, who demonstrated that the explosively branching tree of possibilities is destined to destroy any brute-force approach after only a few steps. Among Artificial-Intelligence programmers, the creation of increasingly effective search-tree-pruning algorithms has become a grail and the results inturn beg the question for some, Does the Internet Have the Buddha Nature.
