大雪やせっぱつまりし人の声
ôyuki ya seppatsumarishi hito no koe

a big snow--
the voices of people
trapped inside

translated by David Lanoue

...замело...
под домашним арестом
голоса людей

Очень хорошее стихотворение Станислава Львовского ([info]sanin@lj). В переводе на японский или китайский его можно было бы записать вертикальными нитками иероглифов.

An article in NewYorker on perception:
The account of perception that’s starting to emerge is what we might call the “brain’s best guess” theory of perception: perception is the brain’s best guess about what is happening in the outside world. The mind integrates scattered, weak, rudimentary signals from a variety of sensory channels, information from past experiences, and hard-wired processes, and produces a sensory experience full of brain-provided color, sound, texture, and meaning. We see a friendly yellow Labrador bounding behind a picket fence not because that is the transmission we receive but because this is the perception our weaver-brain assembles as its best hypothesis of what is out there from the slivers of information we get. Perception is inference.
