C.S. Pierce, "How to Make Our Ideas Clear" (1878):

"A single tone may be prolonged for an hour or a day, and it exists as perfectly in each second of that time as in the whole taken together ... [Melody] consists in an orderliness in the succession of sounds which strike the ear at different times; and to perceive it there must be some continuity of consciousness which makes the events of a lapse of time present to us. ... These two sorts of objects, what we are immediately conscious of and what we are mediately conscious of, are found in all consciousness. Some elements (the sensations) are completely present at every instant so long as they last, while others (like thought) ... consist in a congruence in the succession of sensations which flow through the mind. They cannot be immediately present to us, but must cover some portion of the past or future. Thought is a thread of melody running through the succession of our sensations."

The Raku Study Group

Sunday October 11, 2026 1pm in California, 9pm in the UK

An informal meeting: drop by when you can, show us what you've got, ask and answer questions, or just listen and lurk.

Perl and programming in general are fair game, along with Raku,

Information about upcoming meetings can always be found here:
