The Hyper-Polarization Crisis: a Conflict Resolution Challenge

Who can say, these days, what is real and what is virtual, what is genuine article and what mere simulation? Are online phenomena abstract or concrete,3 formal or informal, symbolic or non- symbolic, real or representational? No one seems to know, for sure.

Hang around a while, to figure out what has happened, and one finds oneself plunged into the metaphysical deep.

There is not even agreement on the most basic questions: what computation is, whether it is a concrete (physical) or abstract notion, etc2

Nevertheless, many standard terms of art—program, process, algorithm, symbol, data structure, information, implementation, architecture, complexity, state, nondeterminism, digital, virtual, online, and the like—remain only partially excavated, bereft of satisfactory analysis.

philosophy

computing is instead a site: an historical occasion on which to see general, unrestricted issues of meaning and mechanism play out.

computers are intentionally significant physical artifacts—the best we know how to build.

Beyond manifesting a dialectical interplay of meaning and mechanism, computers per se do not have what I earlier said they must have, in order to constitute a genuine subject matter: they are not sufficiently special. As we saw, it is incumbent on a theory of computation to take ‘computational’ to be substantial property, for the class of computers to be thereby restricted. For there to be a “there, there”—for there to Page 39 be something for a theory of computation to be a theory of—the computational must constitute a determinate subset of everything that is or anyway could be the case.55 But every candidate theory to be explored here, when subjected to rigorous examination, will turn out to fail: either because it is too narrow, in the sense of not applying to some things we ought to (in fact already do) call computers, or else because it is so broad as to be essentially vacuous, amounting to no more than a vapid form of physicalism.

The problem, however is not just that we have not had an adequate theory of computing, in the past. Nor is it that we have no adequate theory, now. Much more strongly—and in what at first will seem a dismal conclusion—we will never have such a theory, in the future. We will never have a theory of computing because there is nothing there to have a theory of. Or rather, to put it more accurately: it will be a major conclusion of this investigation that neither computers, nor computing, nor computation, nor anything close by, are ultimately the sort of phenomenon that will sustain an intellectually satisfying, trenchant, powerful theoretical account.

The third difficulty with current theories of computing, beyond the fact that we understand neither meaning nor mechanism, is more surprising yet—and more consequential.

PROSOCIAL Why is Talking About Power Important? By Paul Atkins

Elinor Ostrom — whose work on the Core Design Principles informed the theoretical background of Prosocial — did not explicitly focus on the issue of power, at least to my knowledge. Still, the issue of power necessarily runs through her work, particularly in her third core design principle: “Collective Choice Arrangements: Most individuals affected by a resource regime are authorized to participate in making and modifying its rules” (Ostrom, 2010, p. 253). This principle is about shared power — what has come to be called ‘power-with’ as opposed to ‘power-over,’ terms I will elaborate further below.

key ingredient of our unenclosable system: forkability, which means that anyone is free to leave any space, create another based on the same (or similar) source codes and rulesets, and invite people to the new version. For true forkability, users need to be able to migrate easily between versions, taking their data from one version — for example their complete activity on a social network or search engine — and load it into the new version.

So, one key ingredient in making any system fundamentally unenclosable is the ability for anyone to create segmented spaces of coherence into and out of which people can freely associate, with rulesets that are particular to those spaces.

global consensus mechanisms are still a form of carrier enclosure, and there are necessarily some nodes (or users) who have more say than others in determining the legitimacy of transactions and adopting updates to the rulesets.

As an example, consider the "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) syndrome. It is a highly touted feature for many vendors. It provides a definite advantage for the final process of converting a computer-held document to a nicely formatted hard copy. But what does it do for authorship? Well, in our framework, it has a negative impact. We were happy to abandon those constraints of lines and pages and other formatting geometry which did not contribute to matters of content and structure. We have chosen instead to provide the authorship process with structured files, flexible addressing, flexible window-size viewing, level and truncation viewspecs, etc. -- things that would be awkward or impossible to provide in a WYSIWYG environment. This provides the authorship phase with flexibility and power for studying and manipulating content and structure that we wouldn't consider trading off for WYSIWYG. Save it for the production phase.

“On our move-the-ecosystem-forward initiatives, there are a bunch of irons in the fire. The biggest one is something we’re calling the semantic layer, which is a brand new way for Business Intelligence (BI) and analytics tools to access a single set of business concepts (metrics, entities, and more),” Tristan Handy, the CEO and founder of the dbt Labs, told VentureBeat.

support for meta already enable full data cataloging capabilities. Now, it’s a matter of improving the functionality and making it more active/alive.

the semantic-free BI tool simply holds a reference to metadata in the headless layer.

using a universal (unified) semantic layer, recently termed “headless”. The idea is that all consumers of data (BI, ML, and other tools) can “speak the same language” by accessing a “single source of truth” where common metadata semantics are applied.

This made me realize that there must be a general science which explains all the points that can be raised concerning order and measure irrespective of the subject-matter, and that this science should be termed mathesis universalis — a venerable term with a well-established meaning — for it covers everything that entitles these other sciences to be called branches of mathematics.

Changing the conversation on social issues Using framing to unlock change

n 2021, the FrameWorks Institute, in partnership with the MacArthur Foundation, released a research brief describing some of the most prevalent misconceptions about what “AI” is and how it works.

Whatever the merit of the scientific aspirations originally encompassed by the term “artificial intelligence,” it’s a phrase that now functions in the vernacular primarily to obfuscate, alienate, and glamorize

What AI cannot do It is often assumed that AI will become so advanced that the technology will be able to do anything. In reality, there are limits.

NoteCards: An Experimental Environment for Authoring and Idea ProcessingF. HalaszComputer ScienceBTW1987NoteCards is an extensible environment designed to help people formulate, structure, compare, and manage ideas. NoteCards provides the user with a “semantic network” of electronic notecards interconnected by typed links. The system provides tools to organize, manage, and display the structure of the network, as well as a set of methods and protocols for creating programs to manipulate the information in the network. NoteCards is currently being used by more than 50 people engaged in idea processing tasks ranging from writing research papers through designing parts for photocopiers. In this paper we briefly describe NoteCards, examine a prototypical NoteCards application, and discuss what we have learned about the system’s strengths and weaknesses from our observations of the system in use.

Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special providence in the fall of a sparrow

since no man has aught of what he leaves, what is't to leave betimes?

the readiness is all:

I must be cruel, only to be kind:

For in the fatness of these pursy times Virtue itself of vice must pardon beg, Yea, curb and woo for leave to do him good

I will speak daggers to her, but use none;

you cannot play upon me.

And thus the native hue of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought

What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not me: no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.

And a man's life's no more than to say 'One.'

And praised be rashness for it, let us know, Our indiscretion sometimes serves us well, When our deep plots do pall: and that should teach us There's a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will,--

for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so:

You cannot, sir, take from me any thing that I will more willingly part withal: except my life, except my life, except my life.

Though this be madness, yet there is method in 't.

The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right!

Yea, from the table of my memory I'll wipe away all trivial fond records, All saws of books, all forms, all pressures past, That youth and observation copied there;

Haste me to know't, that I, with wings as swift As meditation or the thoughts of love, May sweep to my revenge.

Murder most foul, as in the best it is; But this most foul, strange and unnatural

Why, what should be the fear? I do not set my life in a pin's fee; And for my soul, what can it do to that, Being a thing immortal as itself? It waves me forth again: I'll follow it.

More honour'd in the breach than the observance.

Thrift, thrift, Horatio! the funeral baked meats Did coldly furnish forth the marriage tables.

Steve Pepper is the founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Ontopia, a company that provides topic map software, consulting, and training services.

This paper describes the crisis of identity facing the World Wide Web and, in particular, the RDF community. It shows how that crisis is rooted in a lack of clarity about the nature of "resources" and how concepts developed during the XML Topic Maps effort can provide a solution that works not only for Topic Maps, but also for RDF and semantic web technologies in general.

Welcome to the Omnigator

The question of how to label a relationship is one of naming, not direction

Parameters are information, in the form of a set of topics, that expresses the appropriate processing context for a variant name. Having selected a particular topic name, an application may choose to examine the parameters of its variants (if any) in order to select the most suitable form of that name.

the names assigned to association types (such as “was influenced by”) imply any kind of directionality.

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.
