  • [[designing semantic spacetimes in five mechanics]]
  • [[push]] [[semantic embeddings]]
    • a set of coordinates in space that can be assigned to a piece of content.
    • semantic difference -> geometric distance
    • conceptual parallels -> geometrics parallels
  • some mechanics
    • [[location-based addressing]] vs [[content-based addressing]]
    • if you have an error in your location-based address, that's usually a hard error
    • [[content based addressing]] is very search-engine-like
  • what if we didn't even add titles to our notes (blocks)? perhaps the content itself is the best addressing mechanism
    • embed each document semantically, then work within a radius
      • (very agora like!)
  • [[static linking]] vs [[dynamic linking]] (perhaps a bit of a stretch)
    • static linking: you use [[wikilinks]] in a tool like [[roam]] to link out to particular notes
    • dynamic linking: you select a fragment of a note and make it into a link
      • the results of the retrieval process depend on an evolving corpus
  • [[time as a first class citizen]]
    • no timestamp involved in at least [[obsidian]] vaults
    • there might be many situations where storing the timestamp of a document could be very useful
    • take the ML space: [[transformer]] happened and it took over a chunk of the space.
    • you get a dimension of understanding when adding the time dimension to your analysis of a space
  • [[mutable entries]] vs [[immutable entries]]
    • if you keep editing mutable entries you need to first search/retrieve/manage changes
    • instead you could just add immutable items
    • this is very much like the motivation for [[push]] in the [[agora]], or at least goes very well with it
  • [[contextual retrieval]]
