Black Francis' the seus is the opening track of sv n fingers. I really dig where this ep (mini album?) goes with all its characters and moods. Listening to Seven Fingers is like taking a stroll with an artists' proclivities. The sound of the recordings remind me of non stop erotic.
What led me to revisiting the album was me watching videos on physics which then led me to watching videos on quantum computing. In quantum computing there is an algorithm called THESEUS.
That someone (clearly a fan) named an AI algorithm after a Frank song (I don't know this) led me to ask google about THESEUS. what I copied and pasted below is one AI algorithm defining another AI algorithm. Happy inter-netting and give sv n fingers a spin
1. In contemporary quantum physics, THESEUS is a highly efficient artificial intelligence algorithm designed to automate the creation of complex quantum experiments
2. The Historical "Shannon's Mouse" (First Self-Learning Machine) In the history of AI, Theseus was a pioneering electromechanical mouse created by Claude Shannon in 1950. Significance: It is widely considered one of the first demonstrations of machine learning. Mechanism: The mouse used telephone relay circuits to "remember" its path through a maze through trial and error, eventually finding the shortest route
Interesting! Of course, the program and the song are named after the Athenian mythological figure, Theseus who escaped the minitour's labyrinth by retracing his steps via a long string he had entered the labyrinth with.
