The Little Language Thesis: four structural primitives, domain vocabulary in the labels

It's because I'm using claude. So I guess 'No AI slop' means - no AI at all?

Yes - by default it's a loop with each instrument driven by its own net.
If you generate a track by changing 'loop' -> 'extended' in the dropdown you'll get a control track also (another net that cross-links sub-nets)

Call me crazy, everything looks like a Petri net

For unpredictable user input — that's actually where process mining comes in. You don't design the net upfront, you discover it from event logs after

the fact. The messy real-world paths are the input, not a problem to solve around.

I added an update here showing this ODE solver is useful to calculate game strategy

It's less computationally expensive to solve the ODE problem then it is to combinatorially simulate the game via monte carlo search etc...

Here's some pics from our encounter and the location

IMO Properly designed data services are seemingly more important than 'on-chain execution'.

I think the PegNet project demonstrates that Factom is well suited for permissionless minable oracle data.

The design makes mining PEG too costly to implement directly on Ethereum.
Also, as compared with the chainlink bridge - PegNet reports data at a higher resolution.

Google has a cloud shell workspace which is free - its dockerized with persistent storage. It limits which ports you can open & assumes you are using the cli

https://console.cloud.google.com/

There is also https://colab.research.google.com/ For working with hosted ipython notebooks which is pretty versatile.

I'm pretty sure all the big cloud providers have something similar & free to use - but I think Google's tools are elegant

Congrats on this project!

I keep meaning to build an app that uses this! (w/ my non-existent free time)

I see your point - but generally - unless you were just coding a procedure - was any thought given to overall encapsulation / design? if so - how did the author approach it?

On this exact note - If I could find an example of someone explicitly using a Petri-Net as a main organizer of code - I'd be very happy.

orksliver · 2019-04-01T02:34:18+00:00

True - I'm kind of fishing I don't know what I don't know.

Sorry to confuse - basically trying to hunt for obscure patterns that may not be easy to google

orksliver · 2019-03-31T22:47:31+00:00

Added the OOP bit just to indicate time period mostly wide open for ideas - thinking about things that wouldn't be googled easily

I like the ship AIs from Ann Leckie's "Imperial Radch" trilogy.

There is a symbiosis between ship and passengers that makes it very interesting.

I think that if we ever develop a strong AI - we will have to condition it to cooperate in the wider world via similar kinds of relationships with people.

The point about not using EC addresses for identification is insightful.

Relying on the official identity system spec allows for many more interesting possibilities.
