Rohwer and Antoni Luque. Verbal communication seems to set the scale of observations of the participants, so that their reality is shared. Without that common web of verbal communications each person lives in their own private world of experience, which can become to be like a cage.  Think about the ancient rites associated with s...

About 14 miles away there is another University at Guelph where the CoSy conferencing system was developed. It was like a user-friendly private version of Usenet. That software changed the world. You can get the source code from here:  https://cosy.sourceforge.net/ . The CoSy system inspired me to try to make a better one. It also set up some expectations for social media which for some reason were never met by any commercial social media systems I have seen. One of those was that there were different spaces where one could interact with different groups of people and where one could im...

27:08  "Different mechanisms for different disturbances. So we have to include explicit mechanisms if we are to understand disturbed ecosystems." This is exactly what Jaynes did in his Where do we stand on  Maximum Entropy? essay, isn't it? He gave the example of Wolf's dice data (pages 48-58), which was some data from actual throws of a real physical die which had a slight deviation from a uniform distribution. He then described a physical model of the important parameters and from an hypothesis as to how the die had been made he proposed some parameters, variations of which would have produced some changes in the distribution. Applying the MAXENT hypothesis to the model with the unknown perturbations he was able to show that the model produced a best fit.  But in the case of a recovering ecosystem one presumably has a higher-order problem because the dynamics of the ecosystem would change as the populations changed.  John Harte is in his late eighties and he sti...
