Flowers are selective about what kind of pollinator they attract. Diurnal flowers use diverse colours to stand out in a competition for visual salience against their neighbours. But flowers with nocturnal anthesis are generally white, as they aim only to outshine the night.
not bad for a day. if only this was what i *intended* to do w it.

Dear Diary,
I have discovered my latent ability to breathe with my eyes.
⋯
☙ "optimize your ideanet for serendipity + context-logistics"
☙ "resist temptation to use hierarchy to represent causality ior ontology of territory"
☙ "apply uniform noise to relatively amplify latent resonators."
some days it just clicks together.
for context: i write ideas/insights/learnings into my main knowledge-net, and make *transclusions* of especially memorable notes into my daily notes, so i can quickly look over recent things i've thought about.
the blue text is internal links, and i optimize my headlines and aliases for being easy to link to and search for.
whenever i think of "evidence" (aka likelihood-ratio) or "implication", i first imagine a filled-out possibility-space. now, if "A implies/evidentiates B", then the possibility-juice in A squishes into the A∩B-region. visualize the squishification!
iow, if A is evidence, then "P(B|A)>P(B|U)", where "U" is the universal set.
iow, if A is evidence, then B is more likely when u *know* u are anywhere in region A, compared to how likely B is when u are anywhere in U.
one of my favourite visualizations of an idea-ecosystem. i shud stare at it more often.
i wonder how it looks if u let producers charge individual prices based on perfect information abt what consumers wud be willing to pay (ie "price-gouging" on a per-consumer basis)? does the system learn faster? do consumers lose? what if all welfare-havers are both consumers and producers?
a nice thing abt feeling free continually develop my own idiolect wo anyone's permission, is that i can write my morning thoughts in 11 paragraphs instead of a big hecking book
i have no expectation that anyone can read and understand evything i'm saying here, but can think of it like "here's a demonstration of how u can write notes to urself; feel free to emulate to see if it works for u"
also, there are several logic-leaps here w lots of missing pieces even in my head, so read w salt
insight fm 8 months ago that i shudn't allow myself to forget
it's harder to spot when features are missing compared to when unique features are present. the semantic difference may be non-obvious, but the neural implementation is indisputably different.
Bing is the most adorable chatbot around, no contest.
