Good bump! This makes much more sense than the old 2*2 from the PD.
Makes me think a thorough revision of PD (retaining the old format and order) would be a good idea.
But I'm all talk. :)

If any of you are currently tweaking on Ritalin and would like to extend the chart to 16x16, 32x32, etc, go for it.

If I recall correctly, the negativity related to Destructive* didn't appear until later editions of the Principia Discordia were published. (3rd I think)

In fact, I think the first edition dopes a much better job of discussing order and disorder: http://appendix.23ae.com/pd1/contents.html

Oh, you can do better than that.

You can download the first edition PD in pdf format from InvisibleCollege and POEE as well.

I've personally be using a chart which goes a little something like this:

Boring/Interesting vs Structured/Ogranic

Feel free to flesh that out.

I like this...

It certainly works well thus far...given I've been using it for about 2 weeks.

okay slightly related, and i apologize beforehand, is this article i read on deoxy years ago:

http://deoxy.org/gaia/forests.htm

please try to read around the new age hippyness, it makes some interesting statements about fundamental differences in geometry of organic things versus non-organic/man-made things.

thank you triple zero, i forgot how much joy i could find in nature (strange huh considering i study biology) just thinking about it already releases some tension. Damn this city-living i needs me some trees dammit!


anyhue back to the subject at hand, according to that link the dichotomy is not between structured and organic but more about 2 types of structuredness, this makes more sense to me then a structured/organic dichotomy, i propose calling it constructed vs grown.

i dig this thread - would the chart itself be an example of orderly order?  is it even possible to make a disorderly chart?

if you ever had to correct the homework of an entire class of 2nd year business school students, you wouldn't ask questions like this.
