A Purple Architecture is an edited collection of essays and projects investigating Purpleness, as a quality independent from the virtual and physical, the material and immaterial, and mundane and exotic. Purpleness thus serves as a theoretical framework to investigate the impacts of technological mediation in developing possible spatial scenarios through storytelling. The book aims to advance the discourse around new technological spatial mediums to blend different modes of reality through various scales and with degrees of physicality and virtuality.

This book is about embracing wholeness on this journey of life. The book is full of encouragement, advice, and lessons to help be complete in mind, body, and soul. All throughout the pages, there are reminders that we should move toward what is healthy and helpful on this journey to wholeness.

The goal-where do you want the ball to stop rolling? Learn how to get your mind to manipulate and take control of the ball, then create a swing that will accomplish your goal (shot) and lower your scores. Most importantly, "Let Me See What Happens If I.." shows you how to overcome life's failures just as you would in sports. Golf- the Game Of Learning Failure, proves that you can overcome any difficult situation with the right approach and how to have fun no matter what level you are at.

Queerteñx is intimately tied to the México/United States border aesthetically, historically, geographically, symbolically, visually, and conceptually. In this exhibition, the aesthetic achievements of José Villalobos and Salvador de la Torre converge to theoretically queer citizenship and problematize machismo from a queer/trans axis nepantleando in diaspora, where queer is a site of infinite possibility. Visually articulated throughout this exhibition is an aesthetic provocation upon machismo, hetero-patriarchy, and cis-supremacy that challenges inherent social value through Queerteñx culture.

The purpose of this Book is to present over a Decade-Worth of Research since 2015, into the 3 Great American Eclipses that Crisscrossed the United States of America. They started in 2017 and culminated in 2024. One will present a Compilation of Articles suggesting that these Eclipses were Celestial Omens of Pending Judgment upon a Nation, that much like Nineveh of the Old Testament was given an allotted Time to Repent of her Sins, etc. The Research explores each of the 3 Great American Eclipse, that were Total Solar Eclipses as it pertained to its Astronomical Significance, Geo-Political Correlations and most importantly, its Spritely Diagnosis and Prognostication. The Eclipses occurred, 1st in the Constellation of Leo and was connected to the Revelation 12 Sign of 2017. The 2nd Eclipse occurred in the Constellation of Virgo and the Eclipse produced a Spectacular Wedding Ring Effect. Then lastly, the Final and 3rd Eclipse occurred in the Sign of Pisces. Where are these all Coincidences? One will present Circumstantial Evidence that suggests these were in fact how the GOD of Israel, of Creation set for the Signs of Omens of Judgment in the Sun, Moon and Starts. One is convinced that the 3 Great American Eclipses were Omens of National Judgment that caused a Division upon the Land as the Spirits of Ancient Goddesses and Baphomets came in to fill in the Vacuum of a Nation once dedicated to Biblical Law and Living. What does this National Judgment look like? What has become of America's Prominence and Position in the World? What is the State of the Churches in this Last Chapter of the Once Great and Mighty United States of America? Purchase a Copy for one's Personal Study or to give to others as a Gift.

Here I present my findings that the solar system mirrors atomic systems and has a quantum mechanical solution to the Schrödinger wave equation based on a base unit of 1 second. I further suggest that this solution for our spectral class G2V star the Sun, may indicate that life is a uniform cosmic unfolding throughout the Universe. In order to test whether this works for many G2V stars like our Sun we would need to detect Earth sized planets around other such stars, to see if my Planck constant works for other planetary systems, which I show is connected to my theory for the radius of a proton in terms the Natural constants such as the gravitational constant for gravity and the Planck constant for atoms. Though we measure time with the duration of a second and it came from no idea in Nature but rather how we divided up the day into units since ancient times, it turns out it is a natural duration in this theory and I suggest it is because of how we divided up the day and year from observing the apparent motions of the Sun and stars due to the Earth's motion, that we may have inadvertently had an idea in this that was Natural in terms of the Nature pf atoms and the Earth/Moon/Sun system. Our theory also seems to based on a sixfold symmetry based around the skeletons of life chemistry, the hydrocarbons. I further develop an equation of state for the periodic table of the elements and suggest an intermediary mass between that of the proton and the stars. This results in a constant k that is characteristic of the universe and is in inverse velocity. With these we show it may be that yellow G2V stars with a planet in the habitable zone may be a property of the Universe. I find that the Earth/Moon/Sun system gives the eigenvalue or basis vector for Natural Systems predicting the life span of the Universe in the standard cosmological model. At the end of the paper we apply our theory to another star system, one that is the only one we have detected so far with an Earth-sized planet in it habitable zone. Unfortunately this star is not a yellow G2V star like our Sun, but a red dwarf M star. But we get a feeling for how to apply this theory. The central theme of this paper is that life may be a Natural property of the Universe.
