    1. a decade ago or more I invented the notion of on page notation.processor that can be activated on any line in an HTML editor on demand

      recently I discovered that I was 20 years behind Engelbart's work, again, reinventing another idea of his community: the notation.processor

      The Command Language Interpreter that was at the heeart of the Mother of All Demos that became MetaIV, is very much in the small ball partk, the ability to define the input to a program as a language, in their case, as it was an interactive program, they gone meta too, and defined the command language interpreter using explicit meta linguistic formalism, noation, and the program becomes a command langauge interpreeter

    1. comeback nobody saw coming

      sure I did

      you do not need no SQL when we go local first and personal-first

      In such an network architecture the CAP theorem break down. If all information is stored and controlled by the 1 who creates it in collaboration with others

      that gives a natural partition

      no concurrent access is possible.

      data is tied to specific machines and eventual consistency can be guaranteed. In your own personal network clocks can be syncronized and so on

      in fact in that case the network becoes the interplanetry data store

    2. Pinning down an LLM

      Pinning down an LLM with - fixed schemas - just limits its potential.

      You want the LLM to be able to invent its own domain models on the fly, and since LLMs think in tokens, you’re usually better off just saving text to the database.

    3. can do anything you wish,

      Yes

      Anything is possible if you can deem it so

    1. fully model

      model is the wrong idea

      you need to construct it first

      then you can explore, experience, experiment

      intaracti, refactor as your growing understanding/intution

      or outtuition leads you to conceive of

    2. I don’t know the right way to build this.

      Yes

      It is not amenable to the treamnet of

      rather

      You (or rather We together) need to get the IT right at last

    1. Peter Merel

      We live in a world of unplumbed wonder And everything around us is alive and pregnant with possibilities But we fail each other and we fail ourselves By seeing only the familiar and tried and true And leaving things be as they are And falling asleep.

      Awake! Awake! Awake! Look around you and take it in your hands! Shake off your sickness and release your vendetta! Forget your habits and seize your opportunities! The essence of life is in your breast and your mind! Do great things now! Today! Here!

    1. Holochain vs the Internet Computer Protocol .t3_n9glca ._2FCtq-QzlfuN-SwVMUZMM3 { --postTitle-VisitedLinkColor: #9b9b9b; --postTitleLink-VisitedLinkColor: #9b9b9b; } Not sure if this has been addressed before. The Internet Computer Protocol claims to enable '...users to build and deploy open internet services that can “run on the network itself rather than on servers owned by Facebook, Google or Amazon.” ... without the need for legacy technologies such as cloud services ', thus similar to Holochain which allows creation of 'peer-to-peer applications that are secure, reliable, and fast ...that connect user devices directly to each other in secure networks instead of depending on servers'. To me, it appears what ICP is trying to solve has already been addressed by Holochain. Could someone who's more informed on the subject elaborate on the differences between the two. Thank you.

    1. Thanks to IPFS any capabilities

      developed for and on the IndyWeb will have the assured qualities of unclosable unstoppable permanent evergreen future compatible fully distributed supporting organic growth scaling synthesis not only in terms of augmenting human inter-intellect but also augmenting people's capabilities to create autonomous means of computation and morphic autopoietic development of working with ideas in new ways and develop the new together leveraging the network of holonic components co-evolve the capabilities along the means of producing ideas and new capabilities

    1. Why “Scaling Coherence” is the real problem

      indeed

      scaling coherence

      scaling - salience - significance - symmathesy - reach - permanence

    1. The CodeBlitz website is built as a single-page-app using ReactJS. The coding language is TypeScript, Bootstrap is used for styling, and the build tool is Vite. It's hosted on AWS as an S3 Static Website and accessed via a CloudFront distribution. SSL Certificates are generated by AWS Certificate Manager and domains are registered using AWS Route53.

    1. the lack of server space or bandwidth

      Contrast with IndyWiki

      Each IndyVidual owns and control their Own contributions

      They are available on the IPFS netowkr permanently

      However the network is self-moderating in the sense that

      all sharing is progressive and staged.

      initially onl an outline or a summary of available content is sphared accoding to mutually agree policies

      like when a page is shared the summaries of all linked pages are also shared.

      Any further expansion involves permissioned access and imply verifiable mutual audit trails

      Pages cannot be removed

      users can be blocked

      so it is a slef-responsible-moderating network

    2. The only justification

      The only justification for the removal of OffTopic comments or WikiPages is the lack of server space or bandwidth. That may indeed be the rationale (albeit unstated), but it sure looks to me like the academic community which moderates this wiki has set itself up as the arbiters of what can and what can't be posted here.

    3. Wiki helps restore that freedom

      Wiki helps restore that freedom to - make your own rules and follow them.

      Wiki is a world where anything is possible;

      the possible uses of the wiki were not dictated at its creation. - it is universal engine for creating and sharing curated connected networked pages

      There's a particularly big contrast with systems like FaceBook and MySpace which are very constricting: after using them for a while they start to feel like one of those games or puzzles in which the point is to

      do each thing - exactly the way the designer wanted you to - until you've finished, - and then that's the end,

      at which point you throw them away and find another one

    4. It's unstructured by nature

      InyWiki provides automatic means for creating the network of inerconected hypertext pages

      the links are bi-directional

      and the network forms a complete graph rhat contains the entire scallfolding of pages tht an individual create or accessed through time

    5. So that's it

      So that's it

      • insecure, indiscriminate, user-hostile, slow, full of difficult, nit-picking people, and frivolous.

      Any other online community would count each of these strengths as a terrible flaw.

      Perhaps wiki works -

      because the other online communities - do not. -

    6. Wiki participants are

      Wiki participants are, by nature, a - pedantic, - ornery, and - unreasonable bunch.

      So there's a camaraderie here we seldom see outside of our professional contacts.

      // IndyWiki in contrast - makes interaction as easy, or even easier than writing an email - leverages the universal familiarity of WYSYWIG editing - makes avilable actions readily available - and comprehendable as in Wiards like forms - and even extensible

    7. Wiki doesn't work in real time

      Not Real Time

      relies on locking pages that are openned for editing

      InsyWiki alternative is - since IndyWiki is a Personal First, local first wiki - writers have exclusive access to their own copy of a page they engage with - and save and share their contribution as a unique page that is linked to the original page - the task and responsibility of mergeng changes or replacing existing version is a responsibility of the original author of the page - the ability to engage in async private p2p communication between authors is a built in capability of the IndyWiki

      as a result every change and every page has associated with it a full provenance and history of the state of the page

      this feature of the info-communication-storage infrastructure that poweres the IndyWiki is a central affordance of the IndyWeb itself

    8. Wiki is not WysiWyg

      IndyWiki IS

      WYSWIG

      utilizing and inline plain text notation -- InNotation or a MarkIn Notation

      contrast that with - MarkUp languages like HTML - a format that can be parsed and interpreted by a Browser - MorkDown - plain text interpersed with conventional pattern - to be interretted by a MarkDown processor that can generate implied formatted HTML

    1. gadgets become much more adaptive and accommodating of everyone’s unique personality

      repharase

      until digital services are ot all become inbroser services

      like the paradigmatic inbrowser.link servic that actually runs in the very browser we use

      and persist in or browse and on demand are also persisted in the interplanetary file system

      and are themselves tinkerable, customisable, combinable into our own workflows

    2. Our profile is a living, dynamic “thing”.

      Profiles

      we need many named profiles and the one that holds them together should remain nameless o acommon name like me

      They are indeed Living Things

      But most importantly a dedicated to

      • communities
      • pursuites

      with the potential to turn the individual created curated profile for an aspect of the individual slef to

      be turned into a new

      named co-curated

      social self

    3. we need

      we need points of - access - aggregation - distribution to look over what fits our profile

      // make all that personal and autopoietic yet transferrable

      **// beyond that ** - explorable - crawleable by trusted parties with explicit agreed policies - searcheable - discoveable - crawlable

      in fact provide ways of sharing as if it was a digital pensive

      named trails of thougt and ideas and content

    4. A Language Divided Cannot Social

      Beyond divided

      make your use of Lively actionable langugae intentional elaborations self-describingauto-poietic shareable

      resumable extendible, open to deep refactorint and repurposing

    5. generative sequence is structure preserving transformation

      do not just require of generative sequences

      that they preserve structure

      but give the ability to the people to elaborate peicemeal with a view to eventually complete and consistent formulations

      the stracture and desired structure enhancing transformation

      eventually to the point that they become additional capabilities

      provide the ability to explicitly shape it ourselves

    6. user flows through apps.

      Use apps that are open to recombination interPlayⁿ with others creat your own workflows, cuseful new combination

      and share your own ways and workflows openly

    7. stop using apps

      that are - detrimental to and/or - impeding, eroding, our social cognition

      that custody your data without ensuring that you maintain lively custody of all the data that you need and care about

      seices tht can disapper any time

      or that can deplatform 1/Us

    8. services architectures

      be our own architect

      translation

      rely on Uniersal conceptualization of all three in multual arising commons based perproduced info-communication-persistence infrastrucures

      that are universal

      protocols not pltforms InterPlayⁿForms =

      Not just any Infrastructure but

      Auto Scaling IⁿBrowserIⁿFrastructures that offer interPersonal interplayⁿ that work the same way everywhere with additional capabilities that work at specific scale

      Figure these out once, let them co-evolve and grow in a way that the information contained curated and the very means needed to work with tham will be permanent evergreen and born future compatible

    9. extend our selfhood into being of service to others

      extend our self hood

      in co - laboration with others with expanding levels of mutual trust and sharing - create named networks of

      • blazed trails of mutual learning 0 and co-laboration

      with full provaance and recapitulable history mutual algorighmic crawling that is able to

      • discover
      • summarise
      • present

      to the partiipants information that is relevant

      together scaling synthesis, salience, significance actionability

    10. How we extend trust.

      combine this with the ability to establish trusted connections to others

      build a network of trust fro trust iteslf

    11. deep profile with reliable predictive algorithms;

      deep profiles

      relying on self-custodied named profiles / trully self-sovereing identities that are trully self soverieng, self-assigned,

      not relying on external validating parties self-custoried

      resolvable only through our own actions

      and linkable to any number of our own digital profiles

      both in orde to access existingcentralized services provide authenticatd acces to them, yet persist the result of interactions in or own(ed( chosen name spaces and workspaces

      the information/data these inbrowserautonomos services operate on or own(ed( data accomplishing what we need when we need them

    12. fitness can then be ongoingly augmented, through the use of anchor objects.

      fintess autmented ongoingly

      anchor objects

      symm shoes for social cognition

      cognition and action pursuiances

    13. map/model/theory and reality

      model is the wrong idea

      It is not truth are we after but intent and play

      we need intentionally and ergonomically cognitively transparent work flows affordances as tinkerable autonomous, auto poietic Open constructs

      Where Open is not just open Source

      but Open Sauce

      user extensible adaptable co-evolvable and indeed social sonstructs

    14. ongoing patterning of ourselves

      ongoing patterning of ourselves and our user flows, a patterning that realigns. At which point soon thereafter, there will be a short enough distance between map/model/theory and reality, including an experience similar to snap-to-grid: it will fit. In case you have been searching for a stopping rule for your choice, select wicked problems, this is it.

    15. MVP.

      MVP stands for Minimal Viable Product

      If we read Product as in producing something worth sharing than that is a good name

      If we ting of the Product as something to be sold, we would be destroying the thing we produce.

      I like to use te term MWP as in Miniaml workable Prototype for an Autopoietic Holonic System

      Built to be shared

      The seed, thre souce of ever increasing value

      Like Ward Cunningham's idea of the Wiki was too valuable an idea to create and share to be devalued by imposing the constraints that attempting to make money from it.

    1. With a focus

      With a focus on - play, - conversational intelligence and - card-based collaborative narratives,

      our platform offers a one-of-a-kind experience that combines individual creativity with small-group genius play and AI-assistance.

    1. The NoSQL comeback nobody saw coming

      I did.

      Better still

      with the right notation and methodology 1 can keep articulating ideas till they they become fully articulated, elaborated, formulated to become eventually locally complete, consistent and intentionally transparent

      into working afforDances Play

    1. A card is a semiotic capsule.

      word or phrase (signifier), an accompanying field of resonance (signifieds), and a latent pattern of movement (interpretant).

    1. It is operated by the social self:
      • distributed across participants,
      • shaped by intra-action,
      • evolving through occasions,
      • capable of interpreting cards,
      • co-creating meaning,
      • enacting movement,
      • reshaping the field.
    2. not merely comment on the situation.

      Cards placed around the GCQ do not merely comment on the situation. They help constitute the situation as a field of relation, possibility, re-orientation and next moves.

    3. intra-action:
      • participants shape the field,
      • the field shapes participants,
      • the app mediates forms of noticing,
      • the cards alter the available pathways,
      • AI reflects and extends,
      • shards preserve what might otherwise vanish.
    4. Adjacent Possible Playground

      ``` f it supports alignment but not community, it becomes a clever session tool. If it supports community but not alignment, it becomes another social platform. If it supports platform features without practice, it becomes empty infrastructure.

      The Core Play Field keeps the product whole. ```

    5. Playⁿ makes meaning shareable. The app helps shared meaning remainalive long enough to become practice

      Playⁿ makes meaning shareable. The app helps shared meaning remain alive long enough to become practice

    6. Its purpose is not to replace the card session

      Its purpose is to help the card session become more - continuous, - legible, - memorable, and - actionable.

    1. conversation

      // xx

      need conversations that are - continuous, without being synchronous, - permanent - resumable - attributed to contributors at high resolution - with full provenance - and recapitulable history of its intertwingeld mutul co-evolution

      Conversations needs conducive to Symmathetic synthesis benefitting all participants in emergent autonomos dynamics social networks

      inded

      adjacentpossible.social

      Understand to be understood

    2. A thread is

      A - thread - comment box - a reply chain - ~ is not neutral

      The design of the space shapes

      the quality - - of the thought. - -

      //

      Spaces like that cannot be designed top down

      they need to be grown, cultivated from the ground up

      through intentional meta-reflective dedicated practice

      • imagine
      • experiment
      • explore
      • experience working with co-evolving instance first exemplars
      • extend
      • expe

      taking a universal seed that actually works

      and capable of autopoiesis

    3. communities are shaped by their affordances

      communities shaped by affordances -

      we shape affordances

      and the affordances shape what we do

    4. protocols

      Used to be said - Protocols not Platforms

      Protocols supporting - inter - planetary - permanent - playNforms

      affordances PlaynForms are enclosed by platforms

      in contrast imagine that all affordances can be resused anywhere and support human centric autonomous interPlayN

    5. shaped by the architecture of platforms

      shaped by architecture of the platforms

      • chat window
      • comment threads
      • post
      • replies
      • turn-taking
      • linear sequences

      need new spaces / game n fields

      shaped by human centric interpersonal architecture for over-web interplaynforms

    6. seven dynamics

      Instead of asking only, “What seven dynamics are at play?” we ask:

      • What dynamics may be at play?
      • Which are well-supported?
      • Which are plausible interpretations?
      • Which are speculative?
      • How did the prompt shape the answer?
      • What would a critic say?
      • What is being left out?
    7. improve collective discernment rather than degrade it.

      collective discernment

      groundd in permanent, attributed inter personal interplayn

    8. It becomes a reflective surface, patterning partner, and provocation device inside a human field of judgment.

      reflective surface, patterning partner

      human field of judgements

      but if you have no way of aving the exchange

      and in fact anything you find valuable on the Web

      so taht you can find it again and connect with relevant context

      or should I say relevant associative complexes or comNplexes I sused to write about conPlexes

      it should indeed be comNplexes

    9. Generate a first-pass map.Ask what shaped the map.Ask what was omitted.Ask for rival models.Ask for evidence levels.Ask critics to challenge the frame.Convert the result into a human-accountable synthesis.
      • first-pass map
      • what shaped
      • omited
      • evidence levers
      • criics challenge the frame

      human accountable synthesis

    10. The generative center question does not ask AI to decide.It asks humans to learn.

      ask humans to learn

      symmathesy indeed

      mutual learning

    11. If Playⁿ is the invitation, Gameⁿ is the field.Gameⁿ says: play becomes more generative when it has a form.

    13. How might humans learn to use AI in ways that increase shared understanding, preserve judgment, and make our assumptions more visible?

      A Generative Center Question

    14. How do we turn AI adoption into AI literacy, and AI literacy into shared civic intelligence?

      AI adoption literacy

      shared civic intelligence

    15. How do we make AI outputs more accountable to method, source, context, and consequence?

      The above is a chronlarchic path to my personal decentralized web archive

      it names the machine, the day of atchiving and the original title of the saved web page

      relying on the super power of IPFS that enables the same resource file or folder to be added to the Directed Acyclic Graph of the InterPlanetary file system

      invites us to add the same resource to afloder tree that contextualizes the resource by naming the very process that created it, and doing that within a folder that identifies the machine and the wider time period when it was created

      for the moment I rely on Hyothesis to connect the two but really both should carry the MindGraph Dot or MEMEpleX page
