The time of the previous entry, 1:06:18, suggests both the date of Epiphany, 1:06, and Hexagram 18 of the I Ching: Ku, Work on what has been spoiled (Decay).

Epiphany: A link in the Log24 entries for Epiphany 2007 leads to Damnation Morning, which in turn leads to Why Me?,
a discussion of the mythology of Spiders vs. Snakes devised by Fritz
Leiber.  Spiders represent the conscious mind, snakes the
unconscious.

On Hexagram 18: "The Chinese character ku represents a bowl in whose contents worms are breeding. This means decay." --Wilhelm's commentary

This brings us back to the previous entry with its mention of the date
of Rudolf Arnheim's death: Saturday, June 9.  In Log24 on that
date there was a link, in honor of Aaron Sorkin's birthday, to a short
story by Leonard Michaels.  That link was suggested, in
part,  by a review in the Sunday New York Times Book Review (available online earlier, on Friday). Here is a quote from that review related to the Hexagram 18 worm bowl:

"... what grabbed attention for his early collections was Michaels's
gruesome, swaggering depiction of the sexual rampage that was the
swinging '60s in New York-- 'the worm bucket,' as Michaels described an
orgy."

Related material for meditation on this, the anniversary (according to Encyclopaedia Britannica) of the birth of author Jerzy Kosinski-- his novel The Hermit of 69th Street.

Kosinski was not unfamiliar with Michaels's worm bucket.  For related information, see Hermit (or at least a review).

In Leiber's stories the symbol of the Snakes is similar to the famed Yin-Yang symbol, also known as the T'ai-chi tu.  For an analysis of this symbol by Arnheim, see the previous entry.  See also "Sunday in the Park with Death" (Log24, Oct. 26, 2003):

"Originally trained in Gestalt psychology,
with its emphasis on the perception of forms as organized wholes, he was one of
the first investigators to apply its principles to the study of art of all
kinds." --Today's New York Times

From the Wikipedia article on Gestalt psychology prior to its modification on May 31, 2007:

"Emergence, reification, multistability, and invariance are not
separable modules to be modeled individually, but they are different
aspects of a single unified dynamic mechanism.

For a mathematical example of such a mechanism using the cubes of psychologists' block design tests, see Block Designs in Art and Mathematics and The Kaleidoscope Puzzle."

The second paragraph of the above passage refers to my own work.

From an obituary in today's New York Times:

"Lee Nagrin, a noted Off Broadway performance artist... died Thursday in
Manhattan. She was 78....

She formed her own company, the Sky Fish Ensemble, in 1979 and
presented performance-art pieces that tended to unspool like fairy
tales, filled with mysterious, archetypal imagery. Her own presence was
mysterious, too, both on and off the stage, often conjuring up the
sense of a keen-eyed, all-seeing, benign witch.

She created
some of those images midperformance, as when she traced a landscape
along brown paper that ringed the stage space of Silver Whale Gallery,
where much of her work was performed.

For her last piece,
'Behind the Lid,' she collaborated with the puppeteer Basil Twist on a
story in which a woman looks back on her life through a dream.
Performances are this month at the Silver Whale."
