Wiener Process Walk

Famous quotes containing the words wiener, process and/or walk:

    The idea that information can be stored in a changing world without an overwhelming depreciation of its value is false. It is scarcely less false than the more plausible claim that after a war we may take our existing weapons, fill their barrels with cylinder oil, and coat their outsides with sprayed rubber film, and let them statically await the next emergency.
    —Norbert Wiener (1894–1964)

    Opinions are formed in a process of open discussion and public debate, and where no opportunity for the forming of opinions exists, there may be moods—moods of the masses and moods of individuals, the latter no less fickle and unreliable than the former—but no opinion.
    Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)

    Then, lastly, let some weekly strewings be
    Devoted to the memory of me:
    Then shall my ghost not walk about, but keep
    Still in the cool and silent shades of sleep.
    Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
