- a [[talk]] - [[augment minds 2021]] - by [[paul bricman]] - [[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]] ![[Pasted image 20210725190339.png]] ![[Pasted image 20210725191304.png]] ![[Pasted image 20210725191910.png]] ![[Pasted image 20210725192533.png]] ![[Pasted image 20210725193123.png]] ![[Pasted image 20210725193413.png]]
