What's in a Name?

The name "Permuted Studios" is a reflection upon the idea that everything in existance are permutations and subset-permutations of a single source of truth. To illustrate, consider:

• An individual person is a permutation of approximately seven octillian (7 x 10²⁷) atoms that make up the average human body.
• English literature are permutations of letters from the ISO Latin alphabet and so it is theoretically possible to generate an accurate historical text prior to those events transpiring (similar to the Infinite Monkey Theorem).
• All computer programs are ultimately permutations of 0's and 1's. For example, this "Hello, World!" HTML5 document (webpage) results from the following permutation of 0's and 1's

  00111100 00100001 01000100 01001111 01000011 01010100 01011001 01010000 ...01000101 00100000 01101000 01110100 01101101 01101100 00111110 00111100 01101000 01110100 01101101 01101100 00100000 01101100 01100001 01101110 01100111 00111101 00100010 01100101 01101110 00100010 00111110 00111100 01101000 01100101 01100001 01100100 00111110 00111100 01101101 01100101 01110100 01100001 00100000 01100011 01101000 01100001 01110010 01110011 01100101 01110100 00111101 00100010 01110101 01110100 01100110 00101101 00111000 00100010 00111110 00111100 01110100 01101001 01110100 01101100 01100101 00111110 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00100000 01010111 01101111 01110010 01101100 01100100 00111100 00101111 01110100 01101001 01110100 01101100 01100101 00111110 00111100 00101111 01101000 01100101 01100001 01100100 00111110 00111100 01100010 01101111 01100100 01111001 00111110 01001000 01100101 01101100 01101100 01101111 00101100 00100000 01010111 01101111 01110010 01101100 01100100 00100001 00111100 00101111 01100010 01101111 01100100 01111001 00111110 00111100 00101111 01101000 01110100 01101101 01101100 00111110

This line of thinking is of profound significance when considering the true nature of creativity and creative processes. Creativity is a process of discovery, not creation. Nothing is original and every possible expression already exists.

For example, consider a musical composition. A music composition is ultimately a permutation of musical notes. Take the notes C, D, and E, and a period of silence represented by the letter Z. Let's also allocate each a quarter beat (crotchet) in duration. We can then generate the total 65 536 two-bars-of-common-time-melodies that are possible, within which you will find the openings of well known songs including:

• Mary Had A Little Lamb

  E, D, C, D, E, E, E, Z

• Rain Is Falling Down

  E, E, D, D, C, Z, Z, Z

• Frere Jacques

  C, D, E, C, C, D, E, C

• Au Clair De La Lune

  C, C, C, D, E, Z ,D, Z

• Hot Cross Buns

  E, Z, D, Z, C, Z, Z, Z

As a final observation, the Permuted Studios logo incoporates the following three subtractive primary colours:

• Cyan [hex #00FFFF / rgb(0,255,255)]
• Magenta [hex #FF00FF / rgb(255,0,255)]
• Yellow [hex #FFFF00 / rgb(255,255,0)]

Note that the colour codes are permutations of 'FF' and '00' / '255' and '0'.

The Australian Professional Standards for Teachers was established to facilitate the improvement of teacher quality and guide the professional learning, practice and engagement of teachers.
