Daniel Friedman, President of the Active Inference Institute.
From letter on January 7, 2025:
Overall I am looking forward to a new year of connections, learning, delight, and wisdom — in working on developing Stigmergic (niche-modificational trace) and Contra-Stigmergic (the “You cAn’t Take it With You” part) elements of the year (time) and place (space).
As a brief pre-view response to the inquiry-related questions in Andrius’ paragraph beginning with “You are welcome to join us.” — I have prepared initial thoughts in a table, and added some comments and questions below that. Consider it an ante-up for this year’s initially thematically dual-tracked posture/structure: that of Knowledge MATH (with Andrius) and Knowledge ENGINEERING (with Kirby):
- INQUIRE WITH: I will look forward to meetings Tuesdays as Andrius described in Knowledge Math (starting tomorrow). Outside of that I will work on this alone in other deliberate/deliberative/deliberated intervals of time for one or more hours per week.
- ICOSAHEDRON-WITHIN: Wednesdays at 15 UTC I will meet with Kirby Urner in Knowledge Engineering. If anyone reads some of the notes/topics (Synergetics, School of Tomorrow, History/Lore, USA OS, Active Inference, Computers, Python, Open Source, 4D, Cascadia, AI, MathArt, Memes, ....) and might like to participate with us synchronously (meeting at that time) or asynchronously (additions, edits, comments, questions, memes, feedback, ...), leave a comment directly anywhere in the Coda, or send me email.
Also I have and leave an openness for what else the year’s Action and Inference may bring. So I look forward to useful (Pragmatic/M1), curious and interesting (Epistemic/M2), and meaningful Wisdom/Service-oriented (M3) emails and Coda comments from you all, amidst and within all other actualities and changes, from perspectives, of/on interactions.
