Science has been a way of Man interpreting his environment and making an acceptable law that those who were interested to look in to these things could follow on and add their own experience. Art on the other hand has always been seen as Man’s way expressing himself abstractly without any particle constraints and is often deemed as the opposite of Science. But I have come to see the effects of both being felt on the other. This is so based on the fact that I am an intellectual that has been deeply rooted in the Sciences but yet I am also a man who loves to express himself in deep thought or discourse, poem, song or otherwise. To go one step further, my area of expertise and physical gifting is both in the area of Mathematics. As much as I have been gifted and have succeeded academically in Mathematics, my love and fascination has always been on one of the most intriguing tools Man has been able to fashion, The Computer. I have always seen this tool as the perfect marriage between Science and Art! It allows the most complex patterns to be printed on fabric and other materials that ordinarily would be unthinkable to do so, such as glass and plastic. Not only does this tool allow such complex replication such as printing which is not Art (the artist may say) but they are having the ability to analyze the same replicated patterns not only with respect to how they are seen (the most used form of conscious human perception) but other factors that human perception could never fathom conscious or unconscious. It is also no strange coincidence that the Computer is based on the fundamentals of Mathematics. It is worthwhile to go into some detail about how Mathematics the fundamental element in Computer Science, that which motivated the Computer allowed us to encapsulate from the very basic to incomprehensibly complex.

The very structure of Mathematics is based on patterns formed in and around Man’s own existence. Mathematics is its earliest forms is equivalent to Logic and Reasoning and the concept of quantity is not the obvious, but is the only way that Man has been able to make a strong case for Logical Statements and Reasons why things are the way they are. Strange is it? But it is true the concept of Numbers has opened the senses of Man to interpret, predict, encapsulate, simulate and demonstrate almost all forms of Nature. Art on the other hand is by no means inferior, since the natural expression that comes from Artistic sculpting, painting, writing, dreaming and imagination can never be reproduced or encapsulated by Science and specifically the Science of Numbers. It gives us a timely reminder that Man is definitely unique and lord of his domain as far as his environment is concerned. And yet with the advances of the Pattern Finding Tool he can come really close to doing so.

Computer Science is linked to Mathematics through basic pattern of counting. This system that has help the computer conquer some of the most complicated phenomenon such sounds, artistic printed designs and evolved to include animations (a mass improvement to Technicolor give what we know as Computer Generated Images), receiving these sounds, pictures (advanced scanning and machine reading in character recognition or machine sight), texture to in detail analyzing movement and position. The use of the basic “Black and White” Binary Number Pattern is the crux of the whole matter that allows us to see color of our computer screen. Binary is also pattern that Man used to conquer Reasoning where the 1 and 0 became equated with “True” or “False”. Computer Science is based on the whole Mathematical Logic along with the advances in Silicon Chemistry and other semiconductor designs extend that functionality to include millions, billions and even Trillions of Bits of information to be considered thus enhancing the picture so to speak. The advances in Nuclear Technologies have been interestingly merged with the Computer’s Analytical Reasoning capabilities to produce very precise Actuators and Sensors in the discipline of Robotics and Automated Theory. All this analysis, accuracy and acceleration seen in a computer system is basically attributed to the Binary Number Pattern platform. We take each number of this system to recognize one of two states: “On” or “Off”. And from this rationale, we got basic components of computing called switches. Electronics also took a path of its own to further tame electricity with the use of relays. However the ultimate training of the natural phenomenon of flowing electrons came which the discovery of the Transistor. This has since then gave over the Silicon Age and we have much fast and more capable machines being able of processing Trillions of pieces of information of one particular subject.
