The Triadic Continuum: The Best New BI Invention You've Never Heard Of (2007) - 3 views

  •  
    "[...] Mazzagatti calls this new data structure the Triadic Continuum, in honor of the theories and writings of Charles Sanders Peirce, one of the least well-known scientific geniuses of the late 19th century. Peirce, who is recognized as the father of pragmatism, is also known for his work in semiotics, the study of thought signs. Using Peirce's theoretical writings on how thought signs are organized into the structure of the human brain, Mazzagatti extrapolated a computer data structure that is self organizing - in other words, a data structure that naturally organizes new data by either building on the existing data sequences or adding to the structure as new data are introduced"

    I quote: "Mazzagatti continued research into how Peirce's sign theory could be adapted to create a logical structure composed of signs that could be used in computers. Using Peirce's theoretical writings on how thought signs are organized into the structure of the human brain, Mazzagatti extrapolated a computer data structure that is self organizing - in other words, a data structure that naturally organizes new data by either building on the existing data sequences or adding to the structure as new data are introduced.

Decision Making: In making sense of complexity, have we become gutless? | Theknowledgec... - 0 views

  • Are we creating illusions for ourselves, creating hope that we are making sense of our complex world? 
  • we are creating illusions to reinforce our belief that we are controlling a complex and random world.
  • Dave Sowden’s Probe-Sense-Respond
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • connectedness
  • distorts our decision-making process.
  • we have become more aware of the preconditions in our environment that contribute to states of punctuation, or jumps in history.
  • understanding the proximate causality of these jumps,
  • I argue that often we seek patterns where there are none and punctuated change comes from randomness – we cannot control it.
  • In this space, are we relying on our gut.
  •  
    A fantastic read to wake up your brain and help it see the trappings of false illusions and patterns around you.

Clive Thompson on Puzzles and the Hive Mind - 0 views

  •  
    people don't necessarily want to solve puzzles on their own. They often enjoy attacking them in online collaborative groups that include dozens, sometimes millions, of fans. These groups are collectively far smarter than their individual members, and regular puzzles don't stand a chance against that many brains.

    I've set up this site to provide space for me to share ideas with a "Board of Directors", so I can get feedback on refining the ideas, and advice on how and when to share these ideas. Bootstrapping Collective Intelligence: This represents my response to Christina Engelbart's challenge during her presentation, and the Program For The Future challenge. GTD.brain. This is my entry to the contest for how people are using the PersonalBrain to implement David Allen's Getting Things Done methods: RESOLVING: This is a 3-D framework I've been developing, most influenced by Bill's Appreciation-Influence-Control philosophy.
