Extenuous Ones,
I find both my global and my local brain in just a bit of chaos
after the Thanksgiving Bombéing (forgive my patent accent) Plus
E-visceration Festivities -- no, not the one that was performed
on the Turkey, the other one -- and it might take me a while to
ravel up the knitted, now sleeve-bare threads of what I started
to care about here. For moment, though I seem to have my notes
all down-givvied up in the wrong order of their leaving, not to
wax too colloquially or e-loquently unanglish about the mnatter.
DM: Below you note "the more key words, or the
more salient concepts: Class, Designation,
Distribution, Environment, Object (QV)".
DM: I think it would be more appropriate to call out the
lexical unit "Distributed Environment" rather than the
individual words Distribution and Environment. This is
a single concept that Yang Zhanmin uses in his definitions
of both Extension and Intension. I think it's important to
draw our attention to that here.
Well, being human and thus greedy beyond our weaning in our
algorithms, we naturally want both, and by this both to say
all three: Distribution, Environment, Distirbutted Environ,
mutatis mutandis, so to speak, so we say, and by this speak
to say we express our genotype in the phenotypical fashions,
naturally, selectively, perchance to e-volve. May be maybe.
I was going to venture this with Peirce's "Formula Of ICE" (FOI):
| Information :> Comprehension Extension
|
| That is, a "Story of Information" (SOI)
| involves a "Story of Comprehension" (SOC)
| be-times a "Story of Extension (SOE)
Nice!
But the same thing should work for any "fusion of indices" (FOI):
| That is, an "Indication of the Distributional Environment DE"
| involves an "Indication of the Distribution" D
| bestride an "Indication of the Environment" E
Again, you are nudging me ahead of the pace of my own story,
and I really oughta think about these things another decade
or two before uttering much less publicizing them like this.
DM: I suspect that Yang Zhanmin's usage implies an environment where
there are distributed computing machines, but it might also be
(more?) interesting to think about environments where there
are distributed cognitive organisms.
Yes, I think that YZ called them "information enitities" in the
next note, but we'd probably be liable to impropriety for using
our Foreparents own alphabet with such excestuous extremisms of
liberty as blindly to acronymize that juxtaposition as a 2-gram.
DM: And, of course, we actually live in an
environment where both conditions apply.
DM: To help you stay within the limit of SUO postings,
I have taken the liberty of creating a corresponding
definition thread.
Yes, but tell me:
What is moderation in defense of inquiry?
What is moderation in defense of liberty?
Half a guess is EZ -- Two Of Seven.
But which Two Sevens would that be?
Hint. It rhymes with ICE.
And paradogmatically Nice.
