Workshop - Order in Chaos

Task 1 (5 min) #

What do you associate with “chaos”, what with “kosmos”? What’s the difference. Create groups of 3 and discuss. You’ll be presenting the results there after.

Chaos vs. Kosmos #

  • kha - space
  • Dark space: chaos of the darkness of night (n - waters)
  • Light space: order in the space (r - reach, d - light)

Task 2 (5 min) #

What do “order” and “hierarchy” mean to you? Create groups of 3 and discuss. Present the results afterwards.

Order = Hierarchy = Structure = Inverted tree #

  • All-present through human history
  • Power and knowledge at top
  • Hierarchy - High priest (hiero - priest, arca - sun)

All seeing eye

Task 3 (5 min) #

What does that pyramid represent to you? Each by himself.

/XXXX\  chaos:  weaving, generating, copying, coding, producing
  • Ordenador!

Showcase navigator/explorer and VScode (10 min) #

Task (10min) #

  • Order all your existing files for the course on the disk
  • NOTE: Hierarchy provides classification. But if you will be using single elements outside of it, better classify it (homework.py vs. homework5.py vs. homework_functions.py).
