  Erasure code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In general, an erasure code transforms a message of n blocks into a message with > n blocks such that the original message can be recovered from a subset of those blocks.
Optimal erasure codes produce n/r blocks where any n blocks is sufficient to recover the original message.
Optimal erasure codes with arbitrary parameters is surprisingly simple.

 Erasure in Art - Destruction, Deconstruction, and Palimpsest
The writing of words ‘under erasure’ in deconstructive texts is a small part of the deconstructive strategy (that can be seen as representative of the whole), but an erasure standing alone, without being part of a broader deconstructive approach must surely be limited.
The erasure involves both the presence, and the negation of the presence of the text, and yet it is part of a different discussion.
The screen (the correction fluid), which constitutes the erasure, carries a trace of the original writing in its physical shape, which is formed by the shape of the words.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | Review | Review: Erasure by Percival Everett

 And We Danced - Erasure Profile
Formed in the wake of Vince Clarke's short-lived tenures with Depeche Mode, Yaz(oo) and the Assembly, Erasure, the duo of Clarke and vocalist Andy Bell, have been one of the most consistently successful Dance music artists of the past two decades.

 Amazon.com: Nightbird: Music: Erasure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
But for the most part this is vintage Erasure, right down to the Casio-sounding keyboards that permeate tracks like "Here I Go Impossible Again" and the ABBA imbued cheek of "Don't Say You Love Me." Erasure is clearly a band too engrossed by life to be knocked down by its mundane realities.
The optimist (and Erasure lover) in me was filled with a mixture of excitement and just a little bit of resentment, because I never thought Erasure "went away".
But I can say this: If you were a fan of Erasure in the early days but were turned off by their forays into ambient experiments, or their try at simplistic, lo-fi synth and acoustic guitar songs, or the mixed-results covers album, please do yourself a favour and give Nightbird a listen.

Derrida cannot of course articulate a paradox of type aleph-null, so he does the next best thing: he writes under erasure.
To write under erasure is to write a word and cross it out, but to let both the word and the deletion stand.
He goes Heidegger one better, so to speak, by arguing that all language is written "under erasure." Language exists only because there is a paradox at the very place where language comes into being.

 java.net: Explorations: Generics, Erasure, and Bridging
Under erasure, all of the type parameters are erased, and casts are introduced where necessary.
At this point, I'd like to repeat that erasure is an internal compiler step: you as a programmer will never see the erased code unless you use a decompiler and examine the class files generated by the compiler.
There are other rules for erasure, concerning other language constructs (like array objects) and defining how to erase for generic methods.

However, there was a time when groups like Erasure ruled the pop world, and they definitely produced electronic dance music.
The difference in what Erasure was doing then and what other electronic groups are doing now is really not that far off.
The reason why Erasure created a global sensation - with only two core members, Vince Clarke and Andy Bell - is that the group produced timeless, song-driven electronic pop music and backed it up...

 Paula Woods' Review of ERASURE
It is a question that haunts the dreams and reality of Thelonious "Monk" Ellison, protagonist of Percival Everett's satiric novel, "Erasure." Monk is a professor at an unnamed Southern California university and the youngest son of an emotionally distant Washington, D.C., family.
Reprinted in its entirety in "Erasure," "My Pafology," which concerns a disaffected young man who fathers four children by four women, is a wicked sendup of every ghetto-focused "I'se been 'buked and I'se been scorned" novel praised in the press as powerful or naturalistic, replete with allusions to Richard Wright's "Native Son," among others.
Successful on the level of fl comedy, "Erasure" is also possessed of a moral ambiguity and increasingly surreal settings that recall Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man." But, unlike Ellison, Everett takes numerous detours in his narrative, presented in the form of Monk's diary, which, while fascinating, undercut the narrative thrust.
