Footprints of Emergence: Natural Learning?

as a side note - one of the things that did really capture me is the concept of the perfect formula which is found in so many things we find 'beautiful' ..

I still do not really undersntad the formula - but the fact it is 'found' in so many things really intrigued me. - technically knowing this thing / theroy exisits has no real (assessable anyway :) ) value to me ... I just 'like' the idea (lol)

just 2 just found refs if anyone else is interested ... :)

Kathleen, I have been working in the Mathematics Dept. for some years (as an elearing and e-assessment designer, and my Head of Dept's inaugural lecture was on "the unreasonable beauty of mathematics" - I can understand the beauty, but (also) not always the formulae.

But I have dabbled in programming (via LOGO) and do know what an 'elegant' solution to a programming problem looks like, and it does bring satisfaction and joy to the learner (me in this case).
