[kitchen standard meal system]
- I mainly cook food at home, and try to eat a whole foods diet. I got very tired of constantly thinking about what I was going to eat, which recipes to try, what ingredients I had or needed to get at the store, what I could cook from what I already had, etc.
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
- I also felt like recipes are somehow really hard to read and follow. I wanted a system for cooking a small set of really good, healthy meals, where I could improve my cooking by focusing on certain techniques. Cooking should feel easier.
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
- I developed a core set of ingredients ("the Kitchen Standard") from which I can cook many meals that are overall "worth it." I commit to always keeping these in stock at home. So when I am nearing running out, I always add it to my running grocery list. Then I found a bunch of recipes that I can cook primarily from this set of standard ingredients.
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
- "Worth it" is some overall heuristic that depends on whether the meal
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
- is healthy, mostly plant-based
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
- tastes good
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
- does not produce many dishes or ones that are a PITA to wash
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
- does not take a long time or use unfamiliar techniques
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
- All recipes are stored in relation to the K.S.-- I only note what ingredients I need *in addition* to standard ingredients (the "Need" column below). All other ingredients I can assume I have, since they're in the K.S.
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
- Lots of meals that I eat are like "chicken and asparagus" or "beef and potatoes", so I am also slowly building up this mains-by-sides matrix of things that go well with other things.
16572958520000000
[kitchen standard meal system]
16572958520000000

- Recipes are stored in this format, which is the only format I want to see a recipe in, ever again, and is based on. the recipe format used at [Cooking for Engineers](http://www.cookingforengineers.com/).

- Bed
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- I'd imagine I might do sleep tracking here, but I've still never gotten any useful insight from tracking my own sleep that I couldn't have gotten from a cursory Google search. I sleep 8 hours a night generally, but 7 if I'm on a low-carb diet, for some reason.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- Or maybe notes, thoughts or articles re: sleep. I could reasonably associate those with a bed.

16572958520000000

- At one point I had spent a bunch of time thinking about how to develop a wardrobe system that would optimize for looking appropriate while minimizing time spent thinking about clothing. Idk if I'll put it here, because it doesn't feel too important to me anymore (by design).

16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- John Fahey
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- I've listened to John Fahey's "Legend of Blind Joe Death" album probably like 1000 times. I started listening to that album in 2010 or so, and it's probably been my most frequently played album the whole time since. I apparently don't actually need that much variety (in music, media, food...) and tend to listen to or watch the same things repeatedly. I think this is partly possible because this album has no words, and because something about it resonates with me emotionally. Now the first couple notes of the starting song is enough to pique that resonance.
16572958520000000

- This guy's voice is just killer. And he seems like a very earnest, kind, genuine person. I have a thumbpick from Tom Brosseau, given to me by [[AR]]. It is quite a good thumb pick.

[the cabin]
- In the corner... Lisa practices guitar.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- These are songs that I'm practicing. I may try to replace them with better versions as I improve. I do not consider myself someone who plays guitar, but I do consider myself someone who is learning guitar. I do consider myself a good whistler.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- If #Roam ever lets you subscribe to other peoples' block updates, I'd like to be able to subscribe to musicians' different versions of songs as they practice and improve over time. It could create a nice music learning culture, where it's encouraged to share even when you're still making a lot of mistakes.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- With that vision of "learning in public" in mind... here are clips from my phone currently, uploaded to youtube.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- John Henry (by John Fahey)
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- This is a good representation of the *type* of music I like playing. Old folk-y/blues-y fingerpicking stuff with a really strong alternating bass line. John Fahey is my favorite musician.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- Trying to Sound Like a Theramin Whistling "Over the Rainbow"
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- I want to be able to whistle and sound like a theramin. I have gotten a little better since this video, I think, because I figured out what you need to do to sound more theramin-y: keep a continuous, wavery tone, and "glide" from one note from the next.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- Learning Ragtime Progressions
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- I was mainly practicing this double-thumb thing at the very beginning of the progression. Instead of an alternating bass (like throughout the rest) you strum two strings with your thumb to start.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- Learning how to use Fingerpicks (playing Freight Train)
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- A musician friend of mine [[AR]] encouraged me to learn how to use fingerpicks. He was right to do so. I prefer just using my fingers, but it will sound much better if I can just learn to use these properly.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- Southbound by Doc Watson, no singing
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- This is the most recent video of me practicing this song. This is the most difficult melody I can play almost correctly almost consistently.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- Shady Grove, picking w/2 fingers, whistling
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- A while ago I tried to learn how to do "Carter picking" (the way Mabelle Carter plays: thumb for melody, first finger flicks for strumming). I can't do it, but I started doing some variation where I play melody notes both with my thumb and first finger. I learned it on Wildwood Flower, but then tried learning Shady Grove after.
16572958520000000
[the cabin]
- I realized I'm wearing the same shirt in most of these. They weren't taken on the same day (except for two, maybe?). But that's a shirt I usually sleep in, so I guess I normally practice early or late. And I do not have many clothes in my [[Dresser]].

- [[JM]]: a romantic partner and good friend. He is very happy, energetic, supportive, nurturing, and positive.

We text back-and-forth every week and a half or so. He's a calm, collected, polyamorous physicist, and he does not seem to mind that I am behind on reading right now. We are not close, but I appreciate his energy in my life.
16572958520000000

- [[AR]]: former long-term partner until early 2019. He is creative, engaging, charismatic, and generous with his time and energy.

- I'll eventually figure out how to make this clickable, then maybe playable like a platformer. I was looking at learning Phaser 3 for this. Quick note that I actually want this styled like Stardew Valley assets, because I love that game and its aesthetics.

[hyperfine village]
- I have always had trouble remembering "where" my ideas are on my computer.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- In realspace, this isn't much of a problem. If looking for a note, I know where my physical notebooks are, and even within a notebook I know roughly how many pages in the note is, and even where on the page.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- This is also the case for remembering where I read a quote/passage in a book.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- Cognition is embodied; knowledge is tied to the places, situations, and settings where it was created.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- [[Roam]]'s graph structure means that there is no real "where" to my ideas anymore.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- Shedding the "files and folders" metaphor is certainly good. But with it went the last little resource I had for thinking about "where" my ideas are.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- But metaphors are very useful cognitive tools, so long as you have good ones.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- I want to try out different ways to regain a sense of the where of my ideas, and to develop the idea that [[s: tools for thought should make use of the human capacity to think spatially]].
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- One of the nice things about Roam's lack of metaphor for how data is organized is that you can layer on your own metaphors.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- [[Hyperfine Village]] is something like a "thinking as world-building" (or even "thinking as mundane, everyday activity") metaphor that uses imagined locations and objects within a small town (e.g. [[The Office]], [[The Bank]], [[The Gardens]], [[The Lab]]) to organize all my digital resources, including my ideas, tasks, notes, references, and projects.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- This metaphor affords some sorts of thinking that are also afforded by the real world.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- **Resources in Context**: The metaphor allows me to rely on common cultural meanings to find relevant resources, for example of [[The Bank]] as a place where I'd find money-related resources.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- **Activities in Context**: The metaphor allows me to think of myself as being in a context, oriented toward a specific sort of task. For example, when I'm in [[The Lab]] I am __tinkering with things__; when [[The Gardens]] I am __tending to ideas__. Anecdotally, the idea of "being in a certain type of place" seems to help me focus doing the sort of thing that's done in that place.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- **Workflow as Pathway**: Every day I start at [[The Cabin]], visit [[The Planetarium]], and then decide whether I want to go into town to take care of some things (at [[The Office]] or [[The Bank]], for example) or go do some more enjoyable work in [[The Gardens]] or at [[The Lab]]. I don't have a "workflow" document anymore, or a checklist. I have an imagined stroll.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- It incorporates the concept of a [[digital garden]], for where I "grow" ideas.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- The metaphor also functions like a [[mind palace]], as a mnemonic device.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- Anecdotally:
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- I find this spatial map makes it fairly easy to mentally scan over things I need to do each day, and remember what I was last working on.
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- I also wanted to be able to share this little world with other people. I may regret it, but hopefully not. Visitors can explore my world as I build it, using the [[Hyperfine Village Map]].
16572958530000000
[hyperfine village]
- Or, you could head to [[The Gardens]] to see what I've been thinking about, [[The Lab]] to see what I've been tinkering with, [[The Museum]] to see old projects, [[The Planetarium]] to see my visions for the future, or [[The Cabin]] to see my personal stuff.

16572958530000000

- These are very messy right now, and don't yet follow my general gardening principles (as outlined in my [[The Handbook of Digital Gardening: An Introduction to Thinking and Writing in Roam]]!), because I just transplanted them from the "Secret Garden", where I had been focused on my work-related gardening (and which I'm keeping private for now).

- How can [[design-based research]] work for technology development outside of academia/learning sciences?
16572958530000000
[the gardens]
- One of the things I've learned from academic educational research is an approach to thinking more clearly about design, theory, and measurement. Or: how technologies we design support some human activity (thinking, goal-setting, play, etc), how we understand/theorize that activity, and how we know whether we're right, and whether our designs are working.
16572958530000000
[the gardens]
- I think this is of value to people designing "theory-rich" technologies, and am interested in consulting on it. (If you're interested: hyperfinelabs@gmail.com)

- May be a social mechanism-- when others comment on ideas and tell me mine are wrong.
16572958530000000
[the gardens]
- But this can be supported technologically also.
16572958530000000
[the gardens]
- My current belief is that the most powerful use of Roam, as an external tool for thought, is that it invites you to **interrogate your own ideas**. This will lead to better ideas. (When it gets fully socially-networked, then *other* people can interrogate your ideas, too. I think how well this plays out in the long run might depend a lot on the epistemic culture set up by early adopters.)
16572958530000000
[the gardens]
- Tools for thought are the __things that make us smart__ (Norman view). External technologies (like language, calculus, diagrams) allow new thoughts (through the internalization of social systems of meaning, Vygotsky view). At the same time, new media for thought opens up not just new thoughts, but new __ways__ of "thinking with thoughts".

- "One of the benefits of "shop class" imagery is the invitation to think about the experience of cognitive work, as a human activity, and the certain sort of object relations that develop with the contents of your own work."
16572958530000000
[the gardens]
- [[S: An epistemic environment should make use of meaningful artifacts]] Consider the familiarity of the workbench. Relationship to and knowing your ideas. The familiarity of tools. Memories and motivational power evoked by the context of things you've made. How objects are __meaningful__. They effortlessly bring with them rich memories, mindsets, prior experiences, motivations. They afford new ways of perceiving the world, which are intrinsically related to new opportunities for action.
16572958530000000
[the gardens]
- [[s: satisfaction of fixing ideas]] People who I knew in Math wanted to start bakeries. People in Physics want to go into TV repair. I am in social science and want to just __program__. Like [[(Crawford, 2010: Shop Class as Soulcraft)]], I want the satisfaction of having fixed something, to have that concrete sort of knowledge that things are better now than they were when you started.
16572958530000000

- Constructionism-- growing through making. With a slightly broadened sense of learning to mean "developing as a human through crafting the world how you want". You become more deeply embedded in the world when you try to effect change in it.

- Spatial nature of cognition
16572958530000000
[the gardens]
- Network graphs and the idea of "networked knowledge" are sort of inherently un-spatial, at least in that the particular x,y position of any node isn't necessarily meaningful. But human thought is spatial. Both in that it is highly entwined with the material context in which it is taking place, including the use of external representations for thought, uses spatio-graphical imagery and manipulations on it for thinking, is rooted in embodied imagery. People do epistemic actions on external representations as part of situated cognition.

- The current overall gist/thrust/abstract of what I'm thinking about this:
16572958530000000
[the gardens]
- If we're overly focused on the semantic content/capabilities of tools for thought, we're ignoring that thought is always situated in this broader work in the world, motivational context and values and intuitions. Tools are often viewed as context-free, in that sense-- that they should be portable, adaptable, configurable for a variety of purposes. I wonder whether, in abstracting data structure out of peoples' cognitive work, we've thrown the baby out with the bath water, and are missing opportunities to really enhance it. Maybe a really effective tool for thought would help people sustain their vision of the future, somehow evoke their deeply-held values and motivations for effecting change in the world and *then* help them build relevant knowledge. What would that work environment look like?

[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- I'm going to write this up as a guide for Ph.D. students, or anyone else who is trying to develop (and write about) a coherent and useful model of the world, by reading a lot of other peoples' papers and books and maybe doing some empirical studies, too.

- Freewriting
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006H19H3M/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1)
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- For me, free-writing is a low-impedance mode to just start getting words out. I typically just do it until I get "hooked" into some particular idea and feel the urge to go work on it.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- When I'm done free-writing for the day I retroactively tag blocks by topic. This way some themes can emerge in the writing over time.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- If I end up thinking about a specific idea while free-writing, like "__tools for thought__ should make use of the human capacity to __think spatially__", and I think the idea is worth thinking about later, I may turn it into a "seed" (more on "seeds" later)
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Ex: [[s: tools for thought should make use of the human capacity to think spatially]] and tag the block it appears in with #[[tools for thought]], #[[thinking spatially]]
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Reading
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- I usually already have a long running list of books and papers tagged with #to-read, but that's become burdensome. I recently created [[The Library]] where I keep a subset organized in thematic "shelves."
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- When I read something, I create a page for it formatted with parentheses, roughly like an APA citation [[(Markauskaite and Goodyear, 2017)]]. This also marks it visually as a reference page.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- I format that page with top-level blocks: metadata, abstract, annotations. I copy in the abstract verbatim, and upload annotations (currently using the app Highlights). I add topic tags to every block that has something relevant to a topic of interest.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- If it is a paper that doesn't stand to substantially change my thinking on something, I might skim it, and only copy the abstract into its page.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- If it is a book or paper worth deep reading, I annotate the pdf, and upload my annotations to the page for the reference. I do not put all my thinking __about__ the paper onto its reference page.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- On the daily page, I keep a list of the references I read, under the top-level block "Reading". Note: This has not yet proved useful.

[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Generating and Elaborating Ideas
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- I try to articulate a relevant belief that I have as a single, short claim. If I do not already have that belief as a page, I create it, using the full sentence as the page title.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- After I read a paper, I reflect: So what? Why was this relevant __to me__? In what ways did my understanding of the world change?
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Statements of empirical results aren't generative in the same way as statements of belief. Keep the titles like points you're making in an argument, not support for those points (which should go ___inside__ the page).
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- I consider "topic" pages like #interest, #[[epistemic fluency]] to be a secondary layer within Roam, that should emerge and accumulate over time. But it's not the *primary* layer I'm working with.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Current approach: I prefix the sentence with a letter indicating something like its epistemic status. w = weed, s = seed, S = Sapling, E: Evergreen.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- **weed**: possibly disconnected to the rest of my thinking, probably low importance
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Ex: [[w: ]]
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- **seed**: Could be a question I haven't thought about much yet, but would like to. It has to genuinely feel relevant to me, whether or not I can articulate why.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Ex: [[s: How can I visualize the relationship between visions, goals, projects, intentions?]]
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- **Sapling**: Things I've developed enough to think that _maybe_ they're beliefs.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Ex: [[S: An epistemic environment needs to push back.]]
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- **Evergreen**: I must genuinely believe and be willing to defend the belief as stated in the title. Or, if a research question, it is well motivated.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Ex: [[E: Materials and artifacts play a crucial role in activating prior experience and other cognitive resources.]]

- Once I create a page for a new belief, or if the page already existed, I add some text to the page that elaborates on the belief (why I have it), and explains the relevance of the paper I read (and cites its reference page).

[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Pretty sure this is the single best thing about using #Roam as a #zettelkastens.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Isolate a single idea (by opening the page or block reference) and really develop it.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Do I believe this idea, and why? Why does this matter? What are problems with this idea? What are implications? What empirical support is there? What is evidence to the contrary?
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- **Pretend someone else needs to understand it.** Write text explaining the idea, and link in other notes as appropriate.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- **Make Roam a conversation partner.** Pretend someone else is making this claim, and you're in critic mode.

[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Integrating Ideas
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Goal: create a densely interlinked set of reuseable, small grain-sized notes.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- **Break up**: for too-large notes, I try to separate them when there may be multiple underlying claims.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- **Link together**:
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Still working on effective practices for this. So far, I mainly rely on __remembering__ that a relevant note already exists. Some sort of predictive link-suggester might be helpful, but I haven't thought about that enough to say I think it's a good idea.

[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Organizing Ideas into Threads
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- For every writing project I have (blog post, journal paper, grant proposal), I create a new page with the title of that project. I keep a list of all writing-type projects on a page called [[The Distillery]], where I distill and package ideas from [[The Gardens]].
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- On each project page I outline the paper with top-level blocks (e.g. Abstract, Intro).
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Then I grab Evergreens and Saplings from [[The Gardens]] and try to put them in a compelling order, adding major claims into the rough paper sections they should go in.
16572958530000000
[the handbook of digital gardening: an introduction to thinking and writing in roam]
- Current approach: I open major claims in the sidebar, search through the text/links within them, and add __block references__ back to the main paper page. I'm experimenting currently with having *as little as possible* original text on the main project pages.

- I had actually arrived at these by conceptualizing "areas" of my life for the last several years: Wellbeing, Research/Work, Interests, Environment, Social, Finances. That's fine, but didn't lay out what I wanted to achieve in each of those.

- The convo goes like this:
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- I want to lose 10 pounds.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Why? Why do you want to lose 10 pounds?
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Because it's better to be healthy.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- What does it matter to you if you are healthy?
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- If I am healthy, I will feel fully alive.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Why do you want to feel "fully alive?"
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- I just do; it's just better than not.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- So you've narrowed to something intrinsically motivating, and you can flesh out the vision a little-- what does feeling "fully alive" look like?
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Be real with yourself here. If you notice you have "visions" like "losing 10 pounds" it'll take some introspection to decide whether this is because, in the future you want, you are very healthy, or because you want to look good. Either are fine, just be aware of your motives and then write *those* down instead, until you get to something that's motivating __on its own__, with no other underlying reason.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Try to be complete, in that you can say "I imagine that if my life were like this, I'd be completely satisfied." But you can prioritize whatever areas or visions you feel like you're not on progress toward.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- What's good about this is that you get this list of things that are the things necessary to live a good life.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Under each vision, think: what am I pretty sure I have to __maintain__ in order to achieve this vision?
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- E.g. to feel alert, I'm pretty certain at this point in my life that I need to follow a low-carb diet and exercise at least 4 times a week. These just seem to be an empirical fact. To produce high-quality work, I'm becoming pretty certain that I need to write every day. These are "activities to maintain." I create notes for these prefaced with "A:".
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Under each vision, think: what are concrete things I could do that would move me toward that vision?
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- These are like "projects." These are things that can be completed, or not, and that you could set a deadline for, etc. But their core feature is that they should be direct next steps in moving toward this vision you set out for.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Projects should be something you have complete control over. Not "publish paper" but "submit paper"
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Good projects/goals are not visions in disguise. Ex: "I want to lose 10 pounds" is not actually a good health goal. Why lose 10 pounds? Because you want to feel good? Because you want to look different? Then make a vision "look like a waif" or whatever, and ask what you need to do to maintain your waifiness and make commitments toward it and figure out goals that would make you better at doing it. "Lose 10 pounds" is a dumb goal because it obscures why you're doing it, how to do it or how to get better at doing it.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- I'm actually considering entirely throwing out the traditional concept of "goals" and to think only in terms of "processes" or "activities." For example, say that what I want is to feel good and healthy. I used to create goals like "run a marathon" under this broad category of health goals. But what's the relationship between running a marathon, and feeling healthy? It's not at all direct. "Run everyday" is directly, causally related to feeling good and maintaining overall health.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- I can't think of the right metaphor for this. It's like "treating the symptom and not the underlying disease." You imagine that if you were a very healthy and alert person you'd be the sort of person who also ran marathons, so you create a goal to run a marathon rather than to become healthy and alert by some actual causally-related process.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Say that I already had a committment/resolution to "write every day." If I do that, I am likely moving toward a goal of publishing something. So why create a goal of "Publish X thing" instead of modifying the maintenance activity to be "write toward publication every day"?
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Maybe "projects" and "goals" aren't really good motivators or even milestones, but are better thought of as an external process-evaluating framework. Like, here are the metrics by which I'll evaluate my progress: did I publish X thing?
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Or maybe the metaphor is something like navigating a ship: the maintenance activities are like rowing, and the "projects" together constitute a direction to steer toward (in that way they're kind of just nearer-sighted visions.)
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Decide on areas of focus, for the longer-term (e.g. [[Monthly Resolutions]]) and shorter-term (e.g. [[Weekly Priorities]]).
16572958530000000

- Based on all the things you've listed that you need to maintain, decide on some committments to stick to (for whatever longer timeframe).
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Look at all your maintenance activities/areas (search for preface A:), and assess how you're doing in each. Remember that these are things you think are necessary to achieving your vision.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- Choose which you are going to focus on maintaining this month (or some reasonable time period that you are going to commit to) e.g. "no sugar this month" or "write every day." (This doesn't mean you stop prior commitments, these are just ones you want a daily reminder of.)
16572958530000000

- For projects/goals/accomplishments, if they're large/complex (and not just quick to-dos like "call the dentist"), then I have a goal page for it (page title starting with "G:", and under the vision it's relevant to).
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- On those G: pages, I have a "Next Steps" block that I blockref back into the visions page, so that I can see these all together when I'm planning what to focus on.
16572958530000000
[the planetarium user manual: specifying visions, activities and goals]
- On my daily page, I blockref my [[Monthly Resolutions]] for the current month, and my [[Weekly Priorities]] for that week, so I see them (and can click back to Visions, for context) when I'm setting my daily [[Intentions]].

- The program would read the markers on the playing cards, and updated a shared (projected) simulation of a predator-prey system. The cards could add varying amounts of predators or prey. The little spray can card would kill bugs in the radius around it.

Semantic Variability Score
— modulates diversity of the discourse network how it works? The score is calculated based on how modular the structure of the graph is (> 0.4 means the clusters are distinct and separate from one another = multiple perspectives). It also takes into account how the most influential nodes are dispersed among those clusters (higher % = lower concentration of power in a particular cluster).
Actionable Insight:
N/A
We distinguish 4 states of variability in your discourse. We recommend that a well-formed discourse should go through every stage during its evolution (in several iterations).
1 - (bottom left quadrant) — biased — low variability, low diversity, one central idea (genesis and introduction stage).
2 - (top right) - focused - medium variability and diversity, several concepts form a cluster (coherent communication stage).
3 - (bottom right) - diversified — there are several distinct clusters of main ideas present in text, which interact on the global level but maintain specificity (optimization and reflection stage).
4 - (left top) — dispersed — very high variability — there are disjointed bits and pieces of unrelated ideas, which can be used to construct new ideas (creative reformulation stage).

? These are the latent brokers between the topics: the nodes that have an unusually high rate of influence (betweenness centrality) to their freqency — meaning they may appear not as often as the most influential nodes but they are important narrative shifting points.
These are usually brokers between different clusters / communities of nodes, playing not easily noticed and yet important role in this network, like the "grey cardinals" of sorts.

Text Network Statistics:
The higher is the network's structure diversity and the higher is the alpha in the influence propagation score, the higher is its mind-viral immunity — that is, such network will be more resilient and adaptive than a less diverse one.
In case of a discourse network, high mind-viral immunity means that the text proposes multiple points of view and propagates its influence using both highly influential concepts and smaller, secondary topics.

Narrative Influence Propagation:
? The chart above shows how influence propagates through the network. X-axis: lemma to lemma step (narrative chronology). Y-axis: change of influence.
The more even and rhythmical this propagation is, the stronger is the central idea or agenda (see alpha exponent below ~ 0.5 or less).
The more variability can be seen in the propagation profile, the less is the reliance on the main concepts (agenda), the stronger is the role of secondary topical clusters in the narrative.

The more variability can be seen in the propagation profile, the less is the reliance on the main concepts (agenda), the stronger is the role of secondary topical clusters in the narrative.
We plot the narrative as a time series of influence (using the words' betweenness score). We then apply detrended fluctuation analysis to identify fractality of this time series, plotting the log2 scales (x) to the log2 of accumulated fluctuations (y). If the resulting loglog relation can be approximated on a linear polyfit, there may be a power-law relation in how the influence propagates in this narrative over time (e.g. most of the time non-influential words, occasionally words with a high influence).
Using the alpha exponent of the fit (which is closely related to Hurst exponent)), we can better understand the nature of this relation: uniform (pulsating | alpha <= 0.65), variable (stationary, has long-term correlations | 0.65 < alpha <= 0.85), fractal (adaptive | 0.85 < alpha < 1.15), and complex (non-stationary | alpha >= 1.15).
For maximal diversity, adaptivity, and plurality, the narrative should be close to "fractal" (near-critical state). For fiction, essays, and some forms of poetry — "uniform". Informative texts will often have "variable + stationary" score. The "complex" state is an indicator that the text is always shifting its state.

Degree Distribution:
? (based on kolmogorov-smirnov test) ? switch to linear
Using this information, you can identify whether the network has scale-free / small-world (long-tail power law distribution) or random (normal, bell-shaped distribution) network properties.
This may be important for understanding the level of resilience and the dynamics of propagation in this network. E.g. scale-free networks with long degree tails are more resilient against random attacks and will propagate information across the whole structure better.
This may be important for understanding the level of resilience and the dynamics of propagation in this network. E.g. scale-free networks with long degree tails are more resilient against random attacks and will propagate information across the whole structure better.
If a power-law is identified, the nodes have preferential attachment (e.g. 20% of nodes tend to get 80% of connections), and the network may be scale-free, which may indicate that it's more resilient and adaptive. Absence of power law may indicate a more equalized distribution of influence.
Kolmogorov-Smirnov test compares the distribution above to the "ideal" power-law ones (^1, ^1.5, ^2) and looks for the best fit. If the value d is below the critical value cr it is a sign that the both distributions are similar.
