There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Hecceity refers to the quality of a thing that confers to its identity. Hecceity is what makes us distinguish individual objects amongst others that are almost the same or similar, and it is the thing that is lurking in the ever diminishing space between computing and materiality, the space between information and knowledge.
