Chilly

It is very chilly. I'm struggling to type, fingers stiff.

Last week I was still feeling scrambled after the intense UK trip. But that was a good weekend. I didn't get much done, but did manage some decent relaxation, beer-assisted mental reset. This morning back to my good-enough routine, starting with catching up with AI papers while still in bed. Claudio got me up because he heard people outside, gone by the time I got to look (maybe visitors next door or maybe hardcore hikers). But this was a good thing, I'm at desk before noon!.

Position Paper Planned

While looking at papers I had what I think might be a good idea. I've got project docs at the top of my todos right now. But a problem for me with sorting these out is that it's open-ended, the things I'm working on are all in-progress. This makes it difficult to focus, no single, clear target. But idea - write a position paper. Moments after thinking that, a title sprang into my head : "The Revolution will be Automated". My subconscious liked the idea. Checking if that title had been used, of course it has: The Revolution will be Automated, a shortish post from this September by Nye Warburton. Same domain/similar gist as what I've got in mind, except I have a lot of other stuff. Nothing of that title jumps out on Google Scholar, so it's good to go.

In Camera

I also had another little idea before getting up. I've got vocabulary work in progress as a keypart of the above (which also needs a proper write-up, status management). Scope is very broad, running across project management, methodology and the primary use will be inter-agent #:linguefranche. I'll rough out what I have, get Claude's opinion (in a Claude project I have called NS which has a bunch of pre-existing vocabs and some of my work-in-progress as knowledge).

Ok:

I'm trying to find terms and their descriptions to capture a set of ideas to use in knowledge engineering and project management. Call the main notion a "Camera". The general idea is about the attention given to a subject matter in various conceptual dimensions. I want to use the terms in project management. Drawing on the photographic camera, the pan and tilt can offer an analogy for a general direction or vector in the information space, but those words aren't quite right. "Zoom" is great for the notion of changing the level of knowledge granularity, similar to to the abstract pyramid of data, information, knowledge, wisdom. But somehow expressed more concretely, so it can be applied to specific practical projects. Something along the lines of "Scene" is needed, to give the context. But the word "Camera" already carries this meaning in its Latin etymology : room. In practice I want to use constructs expressing containership of collections, probably named graphs best for that. These could be ontologies, document collections, datasets and vector stores (possibly using the Data Cube (qb) Vocabulary) or suchlike. What do you suggest for crystalizing this? rh and check for concurrencies and interop potential with the existing vocabularies in your project knowledge and elsewhere.  

I ran through a few cycles with Claude, got some things that will do for now, then the browser (Opera) crashed. I did an apt upgrade earlier, so this is probably a good point for a reboot & break. #:breakpoint
