User:Ssstephen/Reading/Communicating with Slip Boxes

Thinking of the index cards as someone to be communicated with

"One of the most basic presuppositions of communication is that the partners can mutually surprise each other. "

Information can only be generated through comparison, OR (insert other logical operators here? Combination as information, XOR as information)

Different goals can lead to better mode informative communication

"The fixed filing place needs no system. It is sufficient that we give every slip a number which is easily seen and that we never change this number and thus the fixed place of the slip"

order is a system though, even chronology? Doesn't take relativity into account, implies some observer with a privileged frame of reference

This isn't just a hypothetical or theoretical limit, consider two authors editing the same wiki page

Multiverse library or multiverse wiki - if someone is already editing the page (or the entire wiki) and a second editor appears (or second observer), the new wiki "timeline" splinters from the last. (options in brackets would splinter much more frequently)

How does version history look in this system?

Could be experimented with a small simple system, maybe a single bit of content and two editors, with metadata for edit/version history

Secondary memory

Long term project, how to retain and enable access, preserve information, allow for expansion in future

Order should be purely formal, does this even makes sense? Can form be isolated?

"Every note is only an element which receives its quality only from the network of links and back-links within the system. " One billion Christians can't be wrong, one billion Muslims cant be wrong, one billion hyperlinks can't be wrong

Combination of order and disorder can (?) arise from formally ordered system

Examine supposedly formal orders, my instinct says they're not

Bookmarks

Bookmark sharing, bookmark searching, bookmark exchange, bookmark folders and structuring

Tags vs links, tags offer bidirectionality and multiple end points, links are just vectors while tags are fields

Accidents are the driving force for evolution

"to isolate these two aspects [ order and disorder] from each other is neither possible nor methodologically meaningful" <-- I like this

"tha accidents of reading"
