Charlie,
Intertiddlywikiingularity
*On your thoughts of context,* I did something that was context related
that may be worth extending and adding to your conceptual tools.
It goes like this, lets us say you are somewhere in a wiki, in fact at a
particular tiddler, and you decide to add a related fact you thought of, or
you found expressed in the content of the tiddler in front of you. In a
rather simple case this tiddler may be in a particular domain, Work Vs
Personal, in a particular project "gardening" or for a particular person
(Grand ma). That is this tiddlers has a context of Personal/Gardening/Grand
Ma. These context values can be maintained in the domain/project/person
fields on the current tiddler.
Now you can have a new tiddler button (not simply "new here" that tags the
new with the current), its quite simple really; to create a new tiddler in
the current context
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="New tiddler" tags=<<currentTiddler>>
domain={{!!domain}} project={{!!project}} person={{!!person}}/>
The new tiddler inherits the context of the first.
The idea is when adding information always do it with the appropriate
context, because this is like providing the separate context values
explicitly, they are now implicit. Of course you have the option to change
any or all of these context values on your new tiddler, and that will move
it to a new context.
You could have a current context setting, which once set, all you code
responds to that context, unless you choose to use the context from where
you create the next piece of information, a relationship or generate a list.
One final comment (for now) on the way the mind works. Most "mental health"
issues are usually just somewhat an uncommon place on a spectrum of of
"normal" behaviours". Developing strategies for Asperger's, ADHD, bi-polar,
depression etc... which is very important to the person with such
conditions, may also be helpful, if not essential to everyone. If for
example you find ways to focus in the storm of information in you mind, I
expect a version would help me stop my focus wandering into fanciful
places, that I may take tiddlywiki (when I have work to do).
*On Planning*
You said,
> To me, the great thing about any good wiki, you don't need a plan at all.
I was thinking recently that "planning" is only projections for future
events, they are not facts, we quite often confuse the two, although time
often sorts them out eventually. Perhaps we should differentiate these more
perhaps even understand the difference between the level of certainty of
anything.
No big requirements up front. Kind of a Rapid Application Development
> approach
Add evolutionary and re-iterative or continuous improvement.
I read once of an obscure language, that demands within it's grammar, not
masculine and feminine, or other "artefacts" of language that adds a
degree of redundancy and error checking, but it demands the grammar alter
depending on how the information being exchanged was obtained. For example
the words and grammar alter if;
- An event was
- both seen and heard by the speaker
- both seen and heard by another person (hearsay)
- Only heard but not seen, presumed to have occurred
- Considered having occurred due to clues found after the event
- by whom, 1st 2nd third person or more removed and further. Eg seen
on TV
You can see in this language, there is less room for misrepresentation of
the "facts" of a matter, allowing for scepticism of someones account, if
the information was not as certain as it may sound. It could be quite easy
to support the adoption of similar practices in TiddlyWiki.
I am confident there are plenty of common sense methods by which to improve
the way we think, learn and discover we can encode support for with
tiddlywiki, not an external brain but brain tools.
Regards
Tony
