One of the first people to confront this problem was the mathematician Richard Hamming, who worked on the Manhattan Project during the Second World War. In 1950 he introduced the idea of "error-correcting codes" that could remove or work around any un wanted changes to a transmitted signal. Hamming's idea was for the sending computer to insert extra bits into words in a specific manner such that the receiving computer could, by looking at the extra bits, detect and correct errors introduced by the transmission process. His algorithm for the insertion of these extra bits is known as the "Hamming code". The construction of such error-correcting codes has been pursued since the beginning of the computer age and many different codes now exist. These are typically divided into families; for example, the "check-sum extended Hamming code" is a rather complicated variant of the Hamming code and it belongs to a family known as "doubly even self-dual linear binary error-correcting block codes" (an amazing mouthful!). Yet whatever family they belong to, all error-correction codes serve the same function: they are used to detect errors and allow the correct transmission of digital data.
How does this relate to adinkras? The middle adinkra in figure 4 is obtained by folding the image on the left of the figure. The folding involves taking pairs of the dots of the same type and "fusing them together" as if they were made of clay. In general, an adinkra-folding process will lead to diagrams where the associated equations do not possess the SUSY property. In order to ensure that this property is retained, we must carry out the fusing in such a way that white dots are only fused with other white dots, black dots with other black dots, and lines of a given colour and dashing are only joined with lines that possess the same properties. Most foldings violate this, but there is one exception — and it happens to be related to a folding that involves doubly even self-dual linear binary error-correcting block codes.

If we could figure out a way to unlock the potential of our minds theres no telling what wonders we might achieve. . .
Everything is a struggle. Why?

That was somewhat of my point in another post - why are we born so ignorant? Why don't we have an innate ability to see the natural world the way it really is. Why is it so hard to realize the full potential of the mind - if there even is a full potential? Everything is a struggle. Why?

Or, more likely we are all individuals, with different backgrounds, training, learning and life experiences.
Add all that together and people will never be entirely in lock step with each other.
Kinda happy that is not the case....awfully freaking boring it would be if we all thought the same way. Can you say bee hive?

Ok, so if all this is true, then what might cause Seizures? If you figure it out, let me know cuz I am really damn sick of taking these meds.
