One of the simplest algorithms is to find the largest number in a
list of numbers of random order. Finding solution requires looking at
every number in the list. From this follows a simple algorithm, which
can be stated in a high-level description English prose, as:
High-level description:
- If there are no numbers in the set then there is no highest number.
- Assume the first number in the set is the largest number in the set.
- For each remaining number in the set: if this number is larger than
the current largest number, consider this number to be the largest
number in the set. - When there are no numbers left in the set to iterate over, consider
the current largest number to be the largest number of the set.

🌊The Great Wave off Kanagawa, aka The Great Wave or The Wave, is a woodblock print by the Japanese ukiyo-e artist Hokusai. He died at the age of 89, in 1849. Some years before his death he is reported to have stated:
“At the age of five years I had the habit of sketching things. At the age of fifty I had produced a large number of pictures, but for all that, none of them had any merit until the age of seventy. At seventy-three finally I learned something about the true nature of things, birds, animals, insects, fish, the grasses and the trees. So at the age of eighty years I will have made some progress, at ninety I will have penetrated the deepest significance of things, at a hundred I will make real wonders and at a hundred and ten, every point, every line, will have a life of its own.”

On My Mind: The importance of words
There is of course a
difference between words in the artist’s mind and words of critique or
review. The artist’s words are words of intent, of defining the vision
or painting’s aim, and may be silent, or private. The critic’s words are
to conjure the achieved effect of the artist as the critic sees it. I
think trying to define what and why you are painting is important. These
words can enrich the way in which you put paint down, they can
determine what you choose to eliminate or emphasize. In itself a title
to a painting is already a lead-in both for you the artist and for your
viewer. I was recently looking at work of Korean painter whose work is
entirely abstract, a color field. His titles pertain to Korean pottery
referencing celadon and antique glazes. No question that expands one’s
appreciation/viewing.

Happiness happens when you bring attention and appreciation to what you are doing now. It is not a distant place. It is discovered in plain sight, directly in front of you. We do not need to seek, we need to see.
