    1. we used a very high level um uh commu communication that this build an I here and like any good intelligence it has a multiscale hierarchical control where it took care of all of the downstream molecular um details.

      for - example - importance of multiscale hierarchical intelligence and control - Michael Levin - high level instruction is issued and the multiscale structure ensures that all the lower level details are executed - like a software function call

      new plexmark - person assigned to each comment in multiplayer conversational environment - have a way to - detect then - discriminate and finally - tag - each sequentially different conversant' s comments in the conversation - This will help with Indyweb provenance by attributing the person with each sentence

    1. The sentences sound fancy. But just because something sounds fancy doesn’t make it meaningful. Just because something sounds obscure doesn’t mean it makes sense.

      the graphic designer instinct to insert or suggest meaning, imply it where it may not exist, through the use of form: that is what is going on here

    2. Human writing has a certain variety. It’s almost ineffable. Linguistics attributes this to the concept of “bursts” in writing. Humans think as they write. As they stitch together ideas, they don’t think in uniform patterns, which results in uneven sentences. These “bursts” make the sentences, hopefully, more interesting to read. It means, too, that sentences aren’t always dense.

      more intuitive "flows"

    1. And we see that develop into the web as we know it today. A web of “hey this is cool” one-hop links. A web where where links are used to create a conversational trail (a sort of “read this if you want to understand what I am riffing on” link) instead of associations of ideas. The “conversational web”. A web obsessed with arguing points. A web seen as a tool for self-expression rather than a tool for thought. A web where you weld information and data into your arguments so that it can never be repurposed against you. The web not as a reconfigurable model of understanding but of sealed shut presentations.

    1. Multi-party Conversational Systems are systems with natural language interactionbetween one or more people or systems. From the moment that an utterance is sent toa group, to the moment that it is replied in the group by a member, several activitiesmust be done by the system: utterance understanding, information search, reasoning,among others. In this paper we present the challenges of designing and building multi-party conversational systems, the state of the art, our proposed hybrid architectureusing both norms and machine learning and some insights after implementing andevaluating one on the finance domain.
