30 in 30

Why should 30 in 30 be about the written word?

As an alternative, here is an exercise in critical thinking. Enjoy.
Explain the following:

Comments

[eazyt]

Each sequence adds more visual information. I would think the next element would be a black circle completely filled with a colorized spiral, fading out towards the tail.

[insolent_pool]

No next element exists, or it's existence is unable to be proven. Assume a lack, describe what is viewable.

[eazyt]

Didn't I just do that? Each element adds more information. Or do you want something more in depth, like "this is the basic visual abstraction of the first of the book of genesis."

[insolent_pool]

You provided a description. A fundamental essence, yes.
I am more interesting in an explination, an interpretation if you will.
What is it, what is it for, how does it work, and what are it's products?

[toolofthemuses]

This reminds me of the song "Lateralus" by Tool.

"Black and white are all I see
In my infancy
Red and yellow then came to be..."

I'm with eazyt on this one.

[insolent_pool]

You two are close, I'll admit.. but interpreting the question a tad ambiguously.
I meant to explain the following, not expand.

Of course, I didn't specifically state that in the post, as that would give too many clues :)

Simple. The rainbow overwhelms the nothingness of the black.

Ergo, gayness is God.

...or something.

[insolent_pool]

For clarification: All 'answers' presented are intended to be the interpretation of the commenter, not what I perceive to be a 'right' or 'wrong' answer.

This said.. wow, that is truly an overwhelming commentary that is parallelled via the analogue in question. I am impressed.

However, that interpretation skips step 'b'.. which is "Explain the following".

[topknot]

I did explain it. Gayness is God. However, since pithy answers will not suffice...

Though repressed to the point of nonexistence (full black), the diversity of the rainbow gradually makes its presence known, first as a nonthreatening bit of white, a contrast to the stark blackness of closeminded thought, then a full-on spectrum. The conclusion that can therefore be made is that, given a lack of oppression, the variegated incarnations of the human spirit as represented herein by a rainbow will eventually make themselves known. By being displayed over a stark, cold backdrop of solid black, the vibrancy of colour is shown to be precisely what it is: a welcome addition of colour and variety to an otherwise bleak landscape.

[insolent_pool]

A wonderful philosophical take on this.
You progress to the next question:
Relating this to my analogue.
Without knowledge of what my analogue is.

I will give hints, and reply in full to certain questions following a method which I may or may not disclose in full or honesty.

Your first hint:
5. is more than likely represented wrongly by me, and is theoretical at best.
1., 2., and 3. are directly observable. 4. provides, and may very well be, context.

[insolent_pool]

Let's take this entry as something to expand on..

Explanation of this should be based on:
1) Observation
2) Hypothesis
3) Testing of the hypothesis

If it is unable to be tested, please come up with an alternate reply :)

[eazyt]

Dimensions?

[insolent_pool]

Please provide your reasons for aquiring and providing this hypothesis.

[eazyt]

Dimensions are containers of information, with each dimension multiplying the amount of information presented. There is a lot more information that can be contained in a cube, then in a square. These circles seem to represent that information: 1-dimensional isn't percievable to us, 2-dimensional is represented by a circle, 3-dimensional is represented by depth added to the circle, 4-dimensional is represented by color showing time, shades of color change to indicate where the object was at that time, 5-dimensional is open to interpretation but wouldn't that be universe, and you're showing the nature of the universe to be spheroid, containing time (color) and space

[insolent_pool]

Hrm. Quite an interesting take. I'll throw you two hints:
1. Dimensions are a parameter/measurement required to describe a given object.
2. The circular nature was intended to provide contrast only.
