Exercises in Style

This is my homework from poetry class.
Re-writing a poem in 4 different styles.

“The Medium is the Message”

Information is surprise!
The form qualifies the function,
but wherefrom comes the form?
The scientist cannot find
the oak tree in the acorn,
a principal of computational irreducibility.
Finite equations cannot process infinity.
This the mystery of morphogenesis,
chicken, egg, et al.
Ex nihilo nihil fit, pratityasamutpada.
All phenomena are unknown.
Maybe!

Holographic/Joycean (Light)

Morphormation delineates negative entropic praxis mocking perfunctory ways and meaning well knowers who know not telos from genesis. The complexity of the chaosmos cannot be simplamated by chicken scratched ones or goose egg gordian naughts form the lack of tying my story of morphogenetic resonance into PI in the sky string theories crocheting knot things from not things as a conditional declaration of interdependence. Ignorabimus is omnidirectional. Mayhaps!

Primitive

Work makes new.
Man makes work,
but what makes man?
If Gods make man,
what makes Gods?
I don't know!

Uncompressed & Expository

The amount of information contained in a message is calculated by how unpredictable it is. The way an object is formed determines what the object can be used for, but in many cases the origins of an object's formation are unknown. Biologists studying plant seeds have found no indication of the mechanism that determines the form the seed will take as it grows. A postulate of science known as “The Principal of Computational Irreducibility” suggests that there is no way to formulate an equation for a complex system that will predict it's behavior that is simpler than just letting the system run and observing it's results. This postulate can be applied to the mystery of the creation of form, which is often stated as “Which came first the chicken or the egg?” From nothing comes nothing, creation is an interdependent process in which everything influences everything else. Complex systems arise out of this multiplicity of simple interactions, these systems are therefore dependent on the conditions out of which they emerged, and are thus part of a totality too vast to encompass or strictly define. Although this is all merely a casual observation, by a single person, and could be a great heaping pile of bullshit!
