Long discussions at the dining table with Rik over whiskey on the rocks brought
about a few things:
I should wait till the next day to write this but I believe I have an
understanding audience.
* Configuration: How much of a role does configuration of regions come into
play to compensate for no hierarchy?
* Configuration: I'm starting to understand that simplification of the API is
one thing but the reduction of the Configuration API or preferably the
_elimination_ of configuration entirely is the jackpot. Thus doing away with
swarming. Its impractical for a low powered 'internet of things' unit in the
field to spawn up a particle swarm optimization to find the global optimum in
the face of changing data. we can only find 'our' ('our' = human experience)
global optimum through study and experience.
* Hierarchy or lack there of: Just as computer scientists shortcuts general AI
via classical AI techniques foregoing biomimicry. So are we nupic'ers foregoing
proper learning by encoding stuff like days of week into the implementation
thus compensation for a lack of hierarchy?
I need to stop now.
Kind regards
Stewart
