Layered Model

Essentially, all models are wrong, but some are useful. - George Box

Bottom-up

lowest to highest complexity, increase of managed units (each unit on the layer N is constituted of an organization of units from N-1)

  1. information :

    InformationFeudalism, IntelligentBio, ProgrammingForPeace, QuantitativeTrading,

    1. information creation (following a discussion with Sylvain1)
      1. epistemology
        1. evolutionary epistemology
          1. CAEE Seedea:Research.Research
  2. physics :

Notes

Stability is insured by statistical law, or the law of big numbers, i.e. each level doesn't "collapse" to the previous one and keeps "emergent properties" thanks to statistical stability.

"To model an object is to possess it" Picasso

    • "collapsing levels as you dynamically shift focus for varying amounts of time and attention"
    • in February 2010 in Saint-Maur about what was my own strategy to reach my own objective
      • saying that in computer science we learned to handle several layers of abstractions, a classical example being Wikipedia:OSI model, but also how you have source code, design patterns, frameworks, virtual machine, compiled code, processor instructions and that to program but also to debug you have to navigate easilly in and between those layers so somehow also collapsing them

To do

  1. add "missing" layers
    1. mathematics? philosophy?
  2. transform to a proper list template rather that doing it manually
    1. only provide the ordered layers name then get the list of categories
  3. add an easy-tagging recipe for my wiki, like a droplist option to append tags to the current page instead of manually editing each
  4. created MyBeliefs
  5. cartographies
    1. earliers maps of scientific fields
    2. http://abstrusegoose.com/277
  6. integrate the CS specific Programming#EntireStack
    1. itself should integrate Programming#HardwareSpecific
  7. transform to a practical table including for each layer
    1. results, cookbooks/tools/models, content/books/videos/references
      1. in order to generate new results/tools/content in other layers

To categorize

(:pagelist link=Category.UncategorizedBook list=normal fmt=simple:)

  • others book that
    • have no individual page or that
    • have page made before the Template with UncategorizedBook was done (cf earlier attempts to list those in the to do section)
  • see also all the existing tags (:pagelist group=Category list=normal fmt=#title:) thanks to PmWiki:Categories
