Hello John, A few decades ago I visited the A.I. lab at Stanford and Les Earnest showed me around. He demonstrated something he called the "ever-rising tone." It was most impressive. Do you have any idea where I could get a copy of it (in almost any form, audio or digital)?
[Another John asnwering] I don't know. But I once saw it combined in a neat way with one of Escher's infinitely ascending staircases. As one watched a ball bouncing perennially upwards, one heard the ever-rising tone! I'd love to see and hear it again. John Conway
