that is running outroom for new devices.

As a result, the scarceavailable address space is managed throughcomplex technologies that exist solely to helpshare the artificially limited address space.

concentration effects,

This is primarily becausethe growing problem of spam,

A protocol is a stratum of codified behavior thatallows for the construction or emergence ofcomplex coordinated behaviors at adjacent loci.

These outcomes are often achieved inthe face of non-trivial levels of defection,free-riding, and other bad-actor patterns.

A protocol is a rela-tively simple and codified set of behaviorsthat, when adopted by a sufficient numberof participants (human and/or artificial) ina situation, reliably leads to good-enoughoutcomes for all.

What if several criticisms each individually don’t refute an idea, but their combination does? Can indecisive criticisms add up to a decisive criticism? Yes, sometimes. E.g. a plan may work despite X happening, or despite Y happening, but fail if both X and Y happen. In that case, form a new, larger criticism that combines the smaller criticisms. The decisive criticism would explain both X and Y, say why both will happen, and say how that will lead to failure. Although none of the original criticisms (about X or Y alone) were decisive, the new criticism is.

We shouldn’t evaluate ideas by how good they are (by their degree or amount of goodness); instead we should use pass/fail evaluations.

Most factors have excess capacity and should not be optimized.

Learning is an evolutionary process which focuses on error correction, not positive justification for ideas. We can’t establish that we’re right (or probably right), but we can make progress by finding and correcting errors. Positive arguments and induction are errors.

While the scope of the galaxy is substantial, it’s good to remember that Frontier’s universe – and what lives in it - will likely act as soft pressure against too much expansion, indirectly pushing players to group and organize to survive on the Frontier.

players can literally write the rules and behavior of decentralized applications, and therefore, any Smart Assembly created in the game

Each object has a safe heat capacity operating range.

All game activity supervene on these immutable digital laws.

Could you create a virtual world that was true only to itself?

Exclave Ventures is a derelict hydra of autonomous protocols, long deserted by human users and now constituting a necrobiome class hyperobject.

Teleonomic Hypothesis

Still-effects also demonstrate properties of non-locality, which makes them indispensable for FTL applications.

The Vast Silence

It may seem like the image file should be the key mechanism for storing andmanaging software projects, but in practice that is not the case at all.

without any spooky action at a distance.

The behaviour of a unit of code should be as obvious as possible by looking only at that unit of code

A system is a composition of objects thatare abstractions, which hide data andexpose behavior*

Object metaphors are powerful, both because they leverage something familiar to introduce something new, and because they lean into our natural cognitive strengths for spatial reasoning and object manipulation.

"attention transactions"

Building blocks encode a useful trait. A building block note encodes an idea.Building blocks are atomic. You want your BB-notes to be as small as possible, but no smaller. This maximizes combinatorial surface area.Building blocks are composable. BB-notes are focused on composition too. Big ideas are composed from smaller ideas, through hyperlinking and transclusion.

Introduce mutation.

A conversation can happen between yourself and yourself, across time, through the notes your past self took for your future self.

There is a growing need for open standards for formats used to represent text, images, video and other collections of data, so that one producer's data will be accessible to another's software.
