A concept you should know about: * cosmo-autopoiesis: "a cosmos that sustains itself through nested, self-producing cycles of transformation" For the integral theory buffs: * Spiritual Biology and Cosmo-autopoiesis. A story of fractal subsystems, By Joe Corbett. "Biology and mythic storytelling often move in parallel rhythms: systems transform what they take in, produce something new, and move toward a regenerated state that sustains the whole. The Krebs cycle is one of the central metabolic loops of the cell, turning nutrients into usable energy and essential building blocks. The hero’s journey is a time-honored narrative arc that reframes personal transformation as a shared cultural process. This essay explores the likenesses among the stages, the products, and the purposes of the Krebs cycle and the hero’s journey, and then enlarges the view to consider how each functions as a subsystem within a broader complex adaptive system—one biological, the other cultural. Finally, it proposes a speculative vision in which these patterns point to a universal form, which we might call cosmo-autopoiesis: a cosmos that sustains itself through nested, self-producing cycles of transformation."

@NewsWireLK Hmm, got the facts wrong here. Bruno was released from the ICCPR chargers before Nathasha on the 21st of June 2023 at the Colombo Magistrate and was granted bail while Nathasha remained in prison for two more weeks before she was granted bail by Colombo HC

Roja Muthiah Research Library (#rmrlchennai) and @onemai_fdn are inaugurating the RMRL TAMIL FONT STUDIO on 28th Feb 2024 for Tamil type design, calligraphy, and typography. Tamil Font Studio will focus on developing fonts/ typefaces scientifically and setting gold standards in Tamil font making. We will be producing a range of fonts both from the archives and freshly created ones. We are organising an International Seminar on the 29th Feb 2024. Experts in the field of typography from Malaysia, Sri Lanka and India will present their technical know-how. I am particularly excited about the possibilities working with a digitally native object like fonts offer from a blockchain perspective, including reimagining the management, documentation and archiving of the font making process and the distribution and accessibility of the fonts themselves. This international seminar will address current needs, issues in Tamil fonts faced by type designers and educators. This includes presentations by invited keynote speakers, eminent academicians, industry professionals, and research scholars.

🇱🇰Sri Lanka’s ICCPR Act, meant to protect human rights, cannot be used as a tool of repression. Any pending charges against comedian Nathasha Edirisooriya must be dropped immediately. The case will come up next on 15 November at the Colombo Fort Magistrates Court.

You wanna play a fun game? Try selecting the last word in Perisan or any RTL text in a Mac OS or iOS app. The next level is to select a whole word in bi-directional text. The funniest game from the most profitable multi-billion dollar company! 🙃 #bidirectional #RTL

@TiroTypeworks Govt. press and schoolbooks didn't use this fused ligature and instead fප until ෆ was standardized. But two major type foundries in Colombo had this as a separate sort and you can find in text and display. To my knowledge Abhay Libre is the only font that added this so far.

Dr. Nadeera Rupesinghe did something unexpected yesterday. To a packed room full of historians and other researchers, she formally apologized for the inaccessibility of the Sri Lanka National Archives, in her capacity as its Director-General. @SL_Archives #lkahistory
