He must demonstrate artist's indispensability and exclusiveness, he must demonstrate the dependability of audience upon him, he must demonstrate that no one but the
artist can do art.
Therefore, art must appear to be
complex, pretentious, profound, serious, intellectual, inspired, skillful, significant, theatrical.
Therefore, art is made to appear rare, limited in quantity and therefore obtainable and accessible only to the social elite and institutions.
-George Maciunas
"he must demonstrate the selfsufficiency of the audience, he must demonstrate that anything can be art and anyone can do it.
Therefore, art-amusement must be simple, amusing, upretentious, concerned with insignificances, require no skill or countless rehersals, have no commodity or institutional value.
The value of art-amusement must be lowered by making it unlimited,
massproduced, obtainable by all and eventually produced by all."

The German proverb einmal ist keinmal means "once doesn't count" (literally "once is never"), used to say that a single event is not significant or that one can be forgiven the first time one makes a mistake (but, implicitly, not the second time).

" โpataphysics,
โthe science of imaginary solutions.โ Known to adherents as "the science," โpataphysics is a system in which there are no rules, only exceptions (or, more properly, where each exception creates its own rule), and where everything is equivalent ...
...โnothing is more important than anything else. It extends beyond metaphysics to the degree that metaphysics extends beyond physics, and relies on the acceptance of the simultaneous existence of mutually exclusive opposites, a positive (though not positivist) version of Orwellโs doublethink in 1984 that is also reminiscent of the flummoxing paradoxes of Zen."

โWhen we can't think for ourselves, we can always quoteโ
โ Ludwig Wittgenstein
"The main disadvantage to using ologs over prose, aside from taking more space on
the page, is that writing a good olog demands a clarity of thought that ordinary
writing or conversation can more easily elide.
However, the contemplation required
to write a good olog about a subject may have unexpected benefits as well."
-DAVID I. SPIVAK AND ROBERT E. KENT
In this paper we introduce the olog, or ontology log, a categorytheoretic
model for knowledge representation (KR). Grounded in formal mathematics,
ologs can be rigorously formulated and cross-compared in ways that
other KR models (such as semantic networks) cannot. An olog is similar to
a relational database schema; in fact an olog can serve as a data repository
if desired.
