Overview
In the beginning, Gersande's(G) interest in the rejection list was 'rejection as a starting point' and Chae(C):'rejection as a turning point-a trigger for an action/a change/a different direction'. Chae was stuck with the word, 'et cetera' because she thought what goes under this ambiguous et cetera(and others) boundary, As C and G were learning how to analyze, process txt files and categorize, structurize using programming for several weeks,
week 7, 1st of November, prototyping
During the class, Manetta and Michael introduced us to the concept of corpora and filter. C and G were in a group (cuz we were sitting next to each other(=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)) and we started a discussion about our interest in regards to the topic of 'rejection'. G mentioned S--(will be filled in) who focuses on the racial bias in A.I. and the relation between colonialism and technology.(maybe not correct.. G, plz feel free to edit) C talked about her fascination with the 'other' category and et cetera.

week 8, 9th of November, After class meeting
After having check-in moments and group discussion with Cristina from 10:00 - 17:30(!!) G and C agreeded on the following things:
- filter etc & co
→ synonyms → gate to the negative space in notebook/logbook (Jupyter-like layout),
- Run the filter etc & co
→ use the filter to find negative space in content online(things that we wrote in etherpads, NLTK corpora, references gathered by XPUB1 and Cristina, Steve, Manetta, and Michael)
- yet-to-be-named-publication
→ physical publication → annotations/updates can go back to notebook → logbook as intro → the instructions → negative space waiting to be filled
- And others(Mainly documentation)
→ track and tracing nomadic publication → C and G delivery service, pick-up → hand-to-hand → last reader/author chooses the next one
