Lingua Franca

Crochet artist who is an avid reader, who contemplates & scribbles her thoughts to share.....                   How do you define  homosapiens? .....Memories....which in turn builds up the algorithm that defines us. If  00001111  defines one person, then a variation of 00010111 defines the other. That fault in the algorithm are the defining moments around which each one of us develops a personality to function, to respond and act to a given command.                    If memories are the defining force, pablum is the driving force. World runs on and for vittles and victuals. The variety of grubs and cuisines are the proof.                   If you look at it in a strictly technical sense....unless if electricity wouldn't  have had been invented,  an electronic brain  wouldn't have been invented.

Chapter I Ghost Is In Your Mind                 I look forward to these evenings that t...
