Writing non-linearly, shifting the order of the lines for natural development to increase empathic identification or reading backwards as in socially awkwards

Diagnostic criteria:
1. Deficits in social-emotional reciprocity, ranging from abnormal social approach and failure of normal back-and-forth conversation; to reduced sharing of interests, emotions, or affect; to failure to initiate or respond to social interaction.
3. Deficits in developing, maintaining, and understanding relationships, ranging form difficulties adjusting behavior to suit various social contexts.

correlation is any statistical relationship between two random variables or two sets of data and refers to a broad class of relationships involving dependence.
associativity is a binary operation in propositional logic as a valid rule of replacement for expressions in logical proofs
an asymptote of a curve is a line such that the distance between the curve and the line approaches zero as they tend to infinity.

Race recognition - by humans
Face recognition - by machines

Translation: text into numbers into images into code into text
The verifiability of everything

face recognition and racial biology                                                              
micro data and macro data
small data and fast data
miniscule data and excessive data

The minute movements of a face through degrees of deviation
The social production of a face – language as empirically and socially acquired - face to face, body to body.

It's a question of scale
Of the continuity of intrinsic qualities of feeling we can now form but a feeble conception. The development of the human mind has practically extinguished all feelings, except a few sporadic kinds, sounds, colors, smells, warmth, etc., which now appear to be disconnected and disparate. In the case of colors, there is a tridimensional spread of feelings. Originally all feelings may have been connected in the same way, and the presumption is that the number of dimensions was endless. For development essentially involves a limitation of possibilities. But given a number of dimensions of feeling, all possible varieties are obtainable by varying the intensities of the different elements. It follows from the definition of continuity, that when any particular kind of feeling is present, an infinitesimal continuum of all feelings differing infinitesimally from that is present.
Face recognition software is now used to analyze and humanize the emotions expressed in the faces of animals – disregarding other registers of exchange
This is the Autistic quality of civilization, we need face recur ruin recognition to verifying trithineds truthiness for data analysis of facial movements
Emoticons as visual substitute for emotive text, a metacommunicative pictorial representation of a facial expression
The state department for race biology research was founded in 1922 and continued until 1975. Much of its early research on Ural-Altaic Languages was colored by attempts at justifying that European peoples east of Sweden were Asian and thus of inferior race, justifying settlements and racial hygiene. Swedish research was an important ideological precursor to the later Nazism. semi circle

"You don't sound like that at all" cab driver reminded me: “The way you speak, I thought you had been here for 2 yrs most. How have you been able to be here for so long a still talk like that?"

The Old English personal pronouns were replaced by the Scandinavian forms They Their Them dom during the Anglo-Saxon age
Exporting otherness - A racial pollution of language - they - them
a migration going both ways.

How can we/they/one utter xenophobic rhetorics believably with so many linguistic bastards and impurities. How can we speak without pushing those immigrant words through our vocal cords past our white teeth?
Transference is about pronouns. Transversality is a we/here M-dash they/there
Give and take are also Scandinavian immigrants. The word Data means given in Latin. It is possible that Data dates back to Old Persian Dadatuy: let him give or from Sanskrit Dadati: offering gift

My dear barbarian, you seem confused spraying swastikas on mosques
there is a pill for this - there is no cure for that

personality disorders should not be confused with (but may be the result of) problems accounting with acculturation following immigration.
In the bit/In ha bit this place/inhabit this language

I feel my language moving through you/your body
I feel your language moving through me/my body

Rhymes as transformational gradients, allowing for motion of meaning in and out of word units. Sliding from one morpheme into another, searching, while misplacing manifest meaning, the rhyme is an emotive movement, morphing into the other, passing as in becoming somebody or something else, noun into verb.
Morphology is a branch of biology dealing with the study of the form and structure of organisms and their specific structural features.
Suppose a surface is part red and part blue; so that every point on it is either red or blue, and, of course, no part can be both red and blue. What, then, is the color of the boundary line between the red and the blue? The answer is that the color of the surface is the color of the surface in the immediate neighborhood of the point. I purposely use a vague form of expression, it follows that the boundary is half red and half blue.
BORDERLINE personality disorder
