Study of the day:What’s the differAnce between ambivalence and ambiguity ?Is this a dialogical pleat of the median vacuum ?


How to dis-ambiguate ambivalences ?How to dis-ambivaluate ambiguities ?

(discussing the Plato’s allegory of the cavern) "THE ALLEGORY OF CAMERA & OBSCURA".


Once upon a time there was two small dark boxes, illuminated with certainties, two small empty heads, full of hope, and whose sensitive soul was waiting until the external light penetrates them to dazzle them with an image of the "True Reality”. At the proper time, they finally opened.


Camera in pursuit of the Absolute, wanted all to see without any reflection. All, absolutely All ! Then, at the proper time, it decided to be totally overcome by the "True Entropic Reality", all its sensitivity offered to intensely feel everything, without any prejudice, without thinking one second with all these words which darkens the mind more than they enlighten it. It installed a hypersensitive film which it will push in spite of its coarse grain. It tuned her diaphragm to the maximum aperture, a long time, and gave up itself to ecstatically feel the whole true light of the whole True Entropic Reality.Obscura in quest of the Universal Knowledge, wanted all to know precisely, it wanted all to understand and memorize with a maximum of details and discernment. Then at the proper time, it decided to focuse a depth of field as deep as possible, to choose a pause time as short as possible, to be sure to get the highest neatness of the True Real Universal Memory. It installed a hyperfine grain film which it will develop energetically to compensate its low sensitivity. It tuned the aperture at less than anything, and adjusted the pause time at an infinitesimal fraction of nothing.


The moral of the story ? All the photographers will say it to you !


Camera obtained the most luminous image which is at ounce the fuzziest one, an immaculate uniform Absolute Entropic white 100%blank.Obscura obtained the finest image which is at ounce the darkest one, an immaculate uniform Universal black 100%blank.


From now on, when it chooses an aperture and a time of pause suitable to create less blind images, Camera finally formed in itself several suspicions of True Reality. They are images as poor of Absolute Sensitivity as weak of Universal Knowledge, but they are marvellous and magic images, illuminated by unexpected shapes and colors.


In the neighbourhood of the Absolute Entropy, each cell of Camera opens like a white sapphire prism dispersing and breaking up the Entropic light in colored iridescences. From her cells juxtaposition are emerging lines and shapes, metamorphosing the dazzling Entropic light in simple but unknowable .. shapes, only lacking some .. words to name them.From now on, when it chooses an aperture and a time of pause suitable to create less blind images, Obscura finally formed in itself several suspicions of True Reality. They are images as poor of Universal Knowledge as weak of Absolute Sensitivity, but they are marvellous and magic images, rich of ambiguous signs and senses.


In the neighbourhood of the Universal Memory, each cell of Obscura opens like a black sapphire crystal dispersing and breaking up the universal darkness in colored enlightening sparks. From her cells juxtapositions are emerging now vowels, consonants and others signs, metamorphosing the gloomy universal darkness in simple but unknowable .. words, only lacking some .. shapes to imagine them.


_______________________________________________________________________Vacuum Tube Hearing Aid, ca. 1944Image by Chemical Heritage Foundation
The hearing aid was one of the first commercial products to use the transistor. While vacuum-tube hearing aids had been used since the 1920s, the transistor hearing aid (introduced in 1952) reduced the size of the hearing aid and required just one battery, while vacuum-tube models required two.


This circa-1944 vacuum tube hearing aid exemplifies the considerable battery power required by these devices before the advent of transistor-powered hearing aids in the 1950s. On average, transistor hearing aids used one-tenth the power of vacuum-tube hearing aids.


This Western Electric Model 134 hearing aid is composed of three pieces; the hearing aid itself is rectangular and made of hard black plastic with a rectangular opening on the face. There is a metal clip in each side and two wheel controls (tone and volume) on the top.


The second piece is a cylindrical Zenith "A" battery with a red paper cover and terminals at the top.


The third piece is a square Eveready "minimax B" battery with a white paper cover and terminals at the top; a cord connects the Zenith battery to the Eveready and a separate cord connects the Eveready to the hearing aid.
