Re: [FRIAM] [1st-mile-nm] How Google Fiber launched in Louisville in just 5 months - TechRepublic

All: I hope we won't be screwed over by the entire City Council once again, but I'm pleased to announce that the City of Santa Fe Finance Committee approved on Monday the uploading of Santa Fe Transit bus schedules to Google Maps. That means we can use Google Maps to figure out how to use the

Re: [FRIAM] How Google Fiber launched in Louisville in just 5 months - TechRepublic

I was reminded of the value of wire/fiber last Friday when the highway was shut down near Cuyamungue after an accident. Hundreds of cars filled the City of Gold parking lot and the surrounding area of Pojoaque for four hours or more. Of course everyone used their smartphone to report the

Re: [FRIAM] Truth: “Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!”

But when you say "single entity", you're also implying a universe in which that single entity sits. I think in one of your posts, you put off talking about where the inputs/outputs come from/go to. We don't have to go all the way to multiple entities in order to continue the comparison of the

I think John Brown, from ABQ, proposed doing something similar in Santa Fe more than five years ago, but of course the City Council didn't understand what he was talking about. How Google Fiber launched in Louisville in just 5 months The flagbearer of gigabit internet got some momentum back by

Dave - So far, at least as far as my definition of truth is concerned it is confined to a singular entity(system). Phase locking, et. al. are phenemona of multiple interacting systems - as is convergence. My Bad...     I got distracted by the imagination that we were discussing whether

Re: [FRIAM] Truth: “Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!”

Frank, nothing is wrong with mentioning brains, except the number of potential diversions the use of such vocabulary introduces, increasing the scattering of conversational threads. my only hope was to establish a kind of specific definition for truth, as requested by Nick. Nick's definition was

Re: [FRIAM] Truth: “Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!”

glen,I should have been more specific - lower case truth is nothing more than one of those three specific types of failure, i.e. sensor fatigue, sensor or effector lock, or channelization of a circuit through the web. My model is deliberately simple and not intended to say anything about systems

[FRIAM] Truthiness <==> Entrainment

Dave, et alii - Our language around "Truthiness" lead me to consider the following: When Christiaan Huygens recognized injection locking between two of his pendulum clocks, he referred to it as "a Strange Sympathy", perhaps more strange because they had phase-locked 180 degrees out or

Re: [FRIAM] Truth: “Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!”

< The only structures that could possibly satisfy the extreme embedded/responsive constraints you've put in place for "non-failure" will be completely "ordered" in the sense of having no depth or structure, including faster than light communication. This makes your definition a bit useless

Re: [FRIAM] Truth: “Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!”

But hailing back to the "doubt" thread, we *all* "mail it in" all the time. As Nick argues, when you get out of bed in the morning, you're "mailing it in" to some (or other) extent. When a jazz musician relies on muscle memory to do its job ("mail it in") so that a more reflective neural

Re: [FRIAM] Truth: “Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!”

But, as Marcus indirectly points out, your defn of truth as a capability failure, then holds everywhere, all the time. Any system with any temporal delay will exhibit it. E.g. the inputs come at time t0 and the reaction comes at time t1, during that delay Δt, the system is failing ...

Thanks. I'm quite relieved to read this, since I think it to be "true." And the term "mail in" is now part of my lexicon. On Thu, Oct 19, 2017 at 1:15 AM, Prof David West wrote: > Quite the opposite. The system at the root of my definition is optimized > for 'all improv,

Something you say reminds me of the difference between grey matter and white matter in the brain. What's wrong with mentioning brains? White matter influence increases with age as I recall. Frank Frank Wimberly Phone (505) 670-9918 On Oct 19, 2017 1:07 AM, "Prof David West"

Re: [FRIAM] Truth: “Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!”

Quite the opposite. The system at the root of my definition is optimized for 'all improv, all the time'. When that 'improv' ability is diminished by fixed, rote, performance, that is when the system fails. When you listen to a really good jazz group, or an orchestra learning a new piece (or

Re: [FRIAM] Truth: “Hunh! What is it good for? Absolutely Nothing!”

Nick, Yeah, the model is pretty obtuse - because I was trying to avoid using terminology like mind, brain, etc. But it was probably a futile effort. I define lower-case truth as a particular state of a mechanism, an impaired state. So my sensor-connection web - effector mechanism was
