What are your reflections on “The Mother of All Demos”?

Heterarchy is emerging as an important concept with respect to globalization and national and international governance.

A heterarchy possesses a flexible structure made up of interdependent units, and the relationships between those units are characterized by multiple intricate linkages that create circular paths rather than hierarchical ones.

Heterarchies are best described as networks of actors—each of which may be made up of one or more hierarchies—that are variously ranked according to different metrics. Etymologically speaking, the term is made up of the Greek words heteros, meaning “the other,” and archein, meaning “to rule.”

separation of the Idea into parts by dividing it at the joints as nature directs, not breaking any part in half as a bad carver might

gathering of scattered particulars into one Idea so that everyone understands what is being talked about;

Lisp-like dynamics to do experiments with “differential programming” (meaning: various ways to accomplish “this is like that except”).

All relies on the cleanliness of mind of programmers (and even the most clean of these often just do things they need when in the throes of debugging).

the mechanism itself let too many semantically different things to be “done” (aka “kluged”) by the programmer

This palpable, active, ongoing grief is a non-negotiable part of this period of immense change. Grief is one of the most beautiful and difficult ways we love. As we grieve we feel our humanity and connection to each other. Building the path from this heartbreaking present to a future where we center our collective existence in love and care is where we come in. We are the ones shining light on the lies and inconsistencies in our current reality, and we are the ones dreaming up, remembering and practicing mutual ways of being in community with each other. We are learning how to grieve without disappearing, and we are refusing to normalize this terror. We are scholars of belonging and accountability, releasing ourselves from the reductive protocols of punitive culture. We are protesting injustice wherever we find it, while forging the pathways to a justice we cocreate. We are releasing either/or thinking, and we are outgrowing every construct meant to divide and disempower us. We understand that this is an extinction point, and we are not just interested in survival – we want a just world for future generations and for the earth. Each day, we are the ones creating more possibilities. We at ESII see how this community is showing up to hold each other, to grieve, to care for each other, to practice the future together. We love you, we trust you, we grieve with you, and we change with you.

Impatience is the  unwillingness to live life at the pace it   actually happens; we wish for the universe  to bend to our will. We want things now.   We want things to change in an instant. But in  reality, external circumstances are not up to us:   00:02:51 no matter how much we wish that to be  the case.

If you migrate to a different server, then all existing links to your content continue to work and you keep your social graph without needing to tell anyone your new host. It's magical. Compare this to changing email, where you must tell all your contacts about your new address.

Martin Kleppmann@martinklFolks moving to Mastodon are swapping a service run by a capricious egomaniac for one where the admin of your home instance controls everything about your account. And you probably don't know what your server admin is like when you sign up. Is this really much better?

ontology for sharing bibliographic data

An ontology is an explicit specification of a conceptualization. The term is borrowedfrom philosophy, where an Ontology is a systematic account of Existence

A widely citedweb page and paper [3] associated with that effort is credited with a deliberate definition ofontology as a technical term in computer science. The paper defines ontology as an "explicitspecification of a conceptualization," which is, in turn, "the objects, concepts, and other entitiesthat are presumed to exist in some area of interest and the relationships that hold among them."

[3] Gruber, T. R., Toward Principles for the Design of Ontologies Used for Knowledge Sharing.International Journal Human-Computer Studies, 43(5-6):907-928, 1995

An ontology specifies a vocabulary with which to makeassertions, which may be inputs or outputs of knowledge agents (such as a software program).

Toward Principles for the Design of Ontologies Used for Knowledge Sharing

Original abstract: Recent work in Artificial Intelligence is exploring the use of formal ontologies as a way of specifying content-specific agreements for the sharing and reuse of knowledge among software entities. We take an engineering perspective on the development of such ontologies. Formal ontologies are viewed as designed artifacts, formulated for specific purposes and evaluated against objective design criteria. We describe the role of ontologies in supporting knowledge sharing activities, and then present a set of criteria to guide the development of ontologies for these purposes. We show how these criteria are applied in case studies from the design of ontologies for engineering mathematics and bibliographic data. Selected design decisions are discussed, and alternative representation choices and evaluated against the design criteria.

The result of the human-machine collaboration is a superior design that neither machine nor human could create on their own.

John Markoff calls this IA, or Intelligence Augmentation

to augment human intelligence, directly or in collaboration with them. Tom has devoted his work in AI along the latter path. He calls it Humanistic AI.

What Is Humanistic AI? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is about making machines that can do intelligent things. Today, this powerful technology can rival human abilities on many fronts, with the potential to do amazing things and as well as the risk of things not turning out as we wish. How can we guide the application of AI in achieving its greatest potential while avoiding unintended consequences? It is worth starting with an examination of why people are building and advancing this technology. We find that there are two basic philosophies on the purpose of AI: to create machine intelligence that automates what humans do (and therefore competes with humans), or to augment human intelligence, directly or in collaboration with them. Tom has devoted his work in AI along the latter path. He calls it Humanistic AI.
