Task 1: Law 6, John Maeda, The Law of Simplicity
1. What does the word ENTROPY mean and why is this relevant?
Entropy means a decline or deterioration. Maeda states that entropy is always increasing in the universe as people try to continually fill in the blank space the negative space they see. If all the space is filled we loose focus.
2. If you are attuned to everything around you, does it help you deal with what is in front
of you and why or why not ?
If you deal with everything around you, you can loose focus of what is in front of you, however everything around you might be important to what is in front of you. The "immediate relevance may not be nearly as important compared to everything else around." R001 Page 54
3. How is this different from FOCUS ?
Focus is the same as narrowness, reaching excellence by concentrating on what is in front of you, ignoring everything in the background.
4. Being “comfortably lost” is a balance between what 2 feelings?
being familiar, feeling danger - simplicity and complexity - being found and being lost
5. Describe a recent scenario when you found yourself to be “comfortably lost”. Did you
enjoy the sensation?
On holidays in Brisbane walking in the city, I did enjoy the experience as it was an adventure.
6. If you couldn’t hold back the urge to write on the “don’t write on this page” page –
what would you write?
Who could be bothered writing on the “don’t write on this page”, I just thought to myself, I don't have time and it you don't want me to write on the page, it is such a small request and I have no need to that I'm happy to comply.
