Flickr motifs/cliches
i hope to collect here
various motifs

is to formalise a tagset
another
to stimulate creativity

Language molecules
whether they're dna or not
there have to be molecules in the brain
that embody specific words
so someday a visualisation
will be able to sort the whole thesaurus
into specific brain regions
down to the level of specific molecules
so life events
are continually
verbalised
at the molecular level
.
The geometry of ego
1st dimension: every human (in a line)
2nd dimension: the same (at 90 degrees)
at the intersections
the relationships of human to human
A's relationships to B, C, D...
B's to A, C, D...
|
D| * *
C| * *
B| *
A| *
+-----------
A B C D
3rd dimension: every human again
with the intersections
their relations to others' relationships
A's relationship to
B's relationship to A
with ego blindness dominating here

AI in the comix?
[画像:I think we've just been cussed out in the universal language of mathematics]
most science fiction
punts the hard questions of AI
by assuming that robots achieve
consciousness
in one fell swoop
without intermediate stages
but the premise of 'robot wisdom'
is that the intermediate steps
must progress from mathematics
thru literature
to psychology
along which path
we'll achieve
universal human/scientific wisdom
not least the ability
to cuss in math

Movie semantics (Zoolander)
[draft]
i'm preparing to do some experiments
in google's new app engine
the 1st very simple: the 'portaliser'
(portaliZer was taken)
will massage a set of favorite links
into a simple page-layout
but the 2nd is much more ambitious
trying to add time-sequencing
to IMDb movie keywords/tags
eg 'Zoolander'
IMDb: main, summary
keywords/tags: Secret Agent, 2000s, Catch Phrase, Multiple Cameos, Spy, Spy Spoof, Frat Pack, Car Chase, Assassination, Brainwashing, Cameo Appearance, Conspiracy, Fame, Fashion Model, Fashion Show, Fashion, Orgy, Stupidity, Exploding Gas Station, Exploitation, Obesity, Sequel, Vanity, Saturday Night Live, Dwarf, Dwarves, Based On Sketch Comedy, Child Labor, Blackface, Bulimia, Catwalk, Erection, Femme Fatale, Malaysia, Masseuse, Reporter, Time Magazine, Directed By Star, Break Dance, Male Model, Character Name In Title
IMDb ontology experiment: [2005] (Modalities, Dramatic themes, Family themes, Sports, Animals, Music and comedy, Historical period, Crime-related, War-related, Horror and scifi, Sex, Animation)

Blake's psychedelic semantic web
not just
in
every grain of sand
but in every field
of every database
(even the simplest:
name address age gender title
etc)
we
must
see
the whole potential universe
ie
all those simple fieldobjects'
real-or-potential
relationships
with all other fields/objects
naturally ordered
most-important first (a
literary
criterion
you must then
(now) begin
to spend the whole rest
of your life
studying)
as if
every field has an extra
asterisk p.s.
where anomalies are noted
(how certain is the value?
why or why not?
when and why did it last change?
etc)
.

Wisest of the wise
[this is the first
and hopefully the
least
articulate and
most
controversial
of a projected series]
any semantic web first needs
a mental model of all possible semantic webs
(and this mental model must include
a mental model of all possible
mental models)
say
mentally model each 'object'
(including mental objects)
as a named point
of known or unknown duration
(some objects
more important than others
from the perspective of any given mind)
with lines between points
modeling relationships between objects
relationships changing in time
relationships mentally modeled
by related mental objects
relations affecting
and affected by
(more or less strongly)
related relationships with other objects
(all mental models of relationships
necessarily related to the mental models
of all related objects
and of their relationships)
and mental models differ in depth
in wisdom
some shallow some deep
deep or shallow
in many different ways
different wisdoms
characteristic of the deep or shallow
people who hold them
but mental models of semantic webs
and mental models of mental models
must be deep by every definition
constructed atop a distillation
of all wisdoms
(art philosophy religion
politics economics history
fiction poetry humor
psychology philology anthropology sociobiology
criticism design logic math)

Crayolacube combinatorics
starting
from the worldtree
and its
individual lifelines
isolate any
line segment
and flatten its spatial dimensions
down to just x
(with time as y)
paint this segment
using any convenient mapping
(eg the crayolacube
red-evil blue-sad
yellow-sick or -enslaved)
classify your segment by
start-color
and end-color
ignoring intermediate values
(here greyed)
notice the formal analogy
with the i ching's 64 hexgrams
permuting eight trigrams
each colorchange
within any segment
must have
causes
some expected
some unexpected
now
isolate any pair of segments
that start and end
at the same times
and classify this pair
by its two start colors
and its two end colors
(8^4 = 4096, too slow to render)
#1 of 64
sometimes the colorchange
in one segment
will help cause the colorchange
in the other segment
via
a strong or weak
linkage
