it is only hilarious to me in a kind of quixotic way. This is not to say
that our exchanges about structure, information carried in our choices of
tools, etc (in my camp they are all interwoven) are unimportant.
But why I am reading this list is to learn how I may better "exchange
information directly through dance". It won't have to be lots of words to
make a difference-sometimes a recipe for a networked interface could be
it, perhaps it will be in someone else's application of probability
theory. It will definitely NOt be in jargon for its own sake...hm as i
write that I think even that might be fair game...I guess foolishness has
to be allowed under the circumstances (of being human, even among
computers
since they are too).
Well you asked for response..glad to know you are there working,
disagreeing.
