Ergonomics, Physiognomy and Biometrics (+)

                         Organization of data is the core objective of all Intuition. When we are looking at something as varied as people, rational analysis alone is just too slow. The most crucial form of data analysis is statistics. Follow well established procedures, we are often asked to make guesses, this very much effect the outcomes. We use multi variate statistics and the calculus of variation to compare and correlate distributions of nonfinite combined variabilities.
                         1. Ergonomics: Do your clothes or furniture fit you?
                         2. Physiognomy: Have you ever seen your nose on someone else's face before?
                         3. Biometrics: Can your signature change so much as that your checks could be refused at your bank?
                         1. Probably no, 2. Definitely no if look closely enough at your nose, and 3. Hopefully no, not ever. If only because no one ever looks at your signatures anymore anyways, in that order.

                         We have normative means and averages for the most prevalent of all these possible differences in say; 1. Our body size or shape, 2. Our recognizably distinguishing facial features, and of course 3. Our distinctively identifiable signatures. Calculus of Variation is one of the most difficult of the computational analytics because of the overwhelming scale of all the possible variances.

                         In a "Normal" distribution, the average, or mean is usually thought of as that predominant peak in the middle of the "Bell Curve," where the majority of people are grouped. I prefer to think of that hump of normalcy, as the "slump" of predictability. It's an inescapable pit into which data, expectations and hopes fall in, and the subject of human variability is lost never to be heard from or seen again. Marketing is generally focused at optimization of market share. This means; if you are too big or too small, too pretty or too plain, or too neat or too messy, you are skewing the data thank you, and you are an outlier. And you along with all of us other freaks, are going to be ignored as you are not an appreciable target consumer. (Why make large numbers of huge shoes if only a couple pairs are going to sell anyways?) You may however be noticed as the exception, (Outlier) but only in terms of your relative "Deviance."

                          Case in point, the algorithms that are designed to perform key word searches on my blog do nothing to identify the breadth of diverse issues and subjects I use. Imagine searching for something as diverse as the non finite multi variate statistics I'm using everyday in my work as a psychic; (Hands, Writing, Faces Voices, etc), as the massage therapist (Skin Tone, Muscle Density, Organ Placement, Subjective Sensitivity Thresholds, Meridian Drift, etc, etc.) Or as your personnel profiler, examining hand written job applications. I can assure you no man is going to be able to design a software code that is going to be able to keep up with this ever expanding wealth of knowledge, (Most of which has already been forgotten.) Much less that ever widening "VOID Of CONTENT" that our preverbal intelligence is uncomfortably confronted with every day, whenever we are looking at the unfamiliar, unexpected or unplanned. Computers may store and process data, but machines don't understand the choices we make to search out infinitely variable data. Not as of yet, And maybe not ever. Intuition, as of now, is still at the core of even this, our most fortunate lust for data. (The human brain is designed to ask questions about the unknown and uncertain. Machines aren't. Yet.)

                         I would like to reiterate to all my brave readers, that as of yet I've heard nothing from others who are bridging the esoteric directly with this science of an evolving history, at least not in to scope of my documents. Thank you so much for your "Supervision."
