Let me start by saying that Matabele's explanation is a good expansion of what I was starting to express. I believe this is a relatively large topic that may be "slippery" to grasp, but I have found it to be worth the struggle. With respect to the reference to "vectors", it may be easier to

I'm not fully sure I got Hans description right, but these are thoughts it evokes for me.. I writing them out because if they are NOT what Hans is describing, then just maybe they are another idea of value; The idea is particularly relevant for cycling of tags where you want the tags to be

Hi Tobias "Mixed radix positional notation" is simple a notation like we use to denote time: '32 weeks, 5 days, 7 hours, 45 minutes, 15 seconds' Each position has a base unit which is a multiple of another (that's the "positional notation" part), and each position has a different base (that's

Hi Matabele, Mat, Hans, I think I'm getting there, in how this helps encode things to short and sweet identifiers, and can actually be understood as a, dunno, pseudo-vector. I'm not sure I would call each radixed chunk a vector though... since they hardly have meaning other than representing

Hi Tobias Sukima is using the standard emoji popup keyboard for Mac in the animation -- found it myself shortly afterward. With a popup keyboard like that, emoji can easily be inserted anywhere in the wiki. Tags names can easily include emoji -- but once created, it isn't easy to change the

Hi Mat, I was working on a plugin called itags, which I intended for use as "inline-tags". They would cater for two cases: 1. #hashtag like tags with different possible prefixes, e.g. ! ? & $ 2. inline tags That would specify a category and then an item from that category. This is where I
