The goal with topic maps is to achieve a one-to-one relationship between topics and the subjects that they represent, in order to ensure that all knowledge about a particular subject can be accessed via a single topic.

pragma (plural pragmas or pragmata) (computing, programming) A compiler directive; data embedded in source code by programmers to indicate some intention to the compiler. This pragma stops the compiler from generating those warnings we don't care about.

From the Ancient Greek root πρᾶγμα (prâgma, “a thing done, a fact”). May be a back-formation from pragmatic.

Most apps have implicit state machines. The quickest way to get to an initial state in a state machine is to stop it and start a new instance of it. That's why when you run into a bug (undesired/unexpected state), "turn it off and on again" is super effective.

This is the classic cold start problem of social. The answer to the traditional chicken-and-egg question is actually answerable: what comes first is a single chicken, and then another chicken, and then another chicken, and so on. The harder version of the question is why the first chicken came and stayed when no other chickens were around, and why the others followed.

Organize

I'm posting these little emails as trail markers, every week or so.

The dream machine. Unconscious R&D. A second subconscious.

constructed a new system—a cybernetic system—designed to amplify capture-organize-synthesize? If we carefully closed the right feedback loops, could we construct a creative flywheel that generates finished works almost by accident, through a stream-of-consciousness process? That’s what I am attempting to build.

Mixing up the order of capture-organize-synthesize

Why do we expect ourselves to create good ideas from nothing (synthesize)? It’s much easier to generate ideas when you have lots of material (capture) clustered by themes and relationships (organize)1.

Why do Word Processors present you with a blank page (synthesize) instead of offering scratch notes (capture) that are relevant (organize) to your writing goals?

Why do file systems force you to name a file (synthesize), and place it in a folder (organize) before you can write in it (capture)?

when you look through this lens, it suddenly becomes clear that many of our creative tools are backwards or broken!

Here’s a real-world example:

recursive

Synthesize new meaning.

Organize to give some first-pass structure using rough heuristics. Card sorting, clustering, filing, arranging, etc.

Capture as much as possible without judgment.

What if your notes could self-organize—from scratch notes, to draft, to finished creative work—through a stream-of-consciousness process—like dreaming?

Kiskunságból Budapestre került parasztlányból lett mosónő.

József Attila költészete forradalmat jelentett a magyar irodalom történetében: az az új szemléletmód, ahogyan verseiben az »én«-t felépíti, láttatja, összhangban volt Európa és Amerika akkori költészetével. Öröksége sok évtizedre meghatározta a magyar költészet tendenciáit. Ahogy minden igazán nagy alkotó esetében, az övében is azt látjuk, hogy száz évvel születése után legalább annyi újdonságot tud mondani, mint a megelőző évtizedekben

Minden, ami költészetünkben addig volt, beleolvadt József Attilába; minden, ami azóta van, vele kezdődik

A couple who make a good marriage, and raise healthy, morally competent children, are serving the world’s future more directly and surely than any political leader, though they never utter a public word.

But the discipline of thought is not generalization; it is detail, and it is personal behavior. While the government is “studying” and funding and organizing its Big Thought, nothing is being done. But the citizen who is willing to Think Little, and, accepting the discipline of that, to go ahead on his own, is already solving the problem. A man who is trying to live as a neighbor to his neighbors will have a lively and practical understanding of the work of peace and brotherhood, and let there be no mistake about it – he is doing that work.

For most of the history of this country our motto, implied or spoken, has been Think Big. I have come to believe that a better motto, and an essential one now, is Think Little. That implies the necessary change of thinking and feeling, and suggests the necessary work. Thinking Big has led us to the two biggest and cheapest political dodges of our time: plan-making and law- making. The lotus-eaters of this era are in Washington, D.C., Thinking Big. Somebody comes up with a problem, and somebody in the government comes up with a plan or a law. The result, mostly, has been the persistence of the problem, and the enlargement and enrichment of the government.
