#valueflows is an ontology that I just learned about today that is an excellent way to make my human-cognition-focused methods extensible. My methods are simple enough to be used in real-time without servers/experts at time of crisis. https://www.valueflo.ws/introduction/introduction/

The thing about knowledge graphs is the schema can be almost anything you want. I'm de-duplicating a RPN+RDFS-like graph format using a knowledge graph. I put the lines *in*, and then I recreate the RPN-RDFS-ish text format on the way out, with duplicated lines removed. It takes some experimenting.

Note that I'm in a very specific domain of software development with self-enforced scope and constraints. This is mainly my own mantra within that limited domain. I'm sure it applies in varying degrees to other dev efforts, but I figured I'd add this disclaimer.

At 100 watts, humans are fairly economical compute, and we can do physical things. Plus, we can provide human touch which other humans need, and much life appreciates our interaction, as they know we can help sometimes. Plus, elephants think we are super-cute (even though we are messing up the biosphere). And, we can obtain the energy for our compute in sustainable ways. Now, much metal compute exists now, no additional energy needed to create, and it makes a great cognitive exoskeleton.

This #graphology design is what I need. I pin my own edge meaning, as I'm overloading the edges with two flows (material and data) as well as using a single edge to signify two-way flow and single (like how you can use both/back/forward in DOT). So, edge (a,b) is the same as (b,a), but when I assign the source and target I want that information pinned, regardless, as I have an attribute for flow. #graphviz

Reading in the semi-straight-world news about Jack funding, and reflecting against politics and layout of the thought leaders on nostr makes more and more sense. The nostr ecosystem, like many systems with base rules, evolves like John Conway's Life. NIP-01, as beautiful as it is in a KISS way, and as glorious as the extension iteration entities combine and glide across the canvas, will always guide and constrain. There are always trade-offs. There are reasons for multi-tier identity and federation architectures. Pesky math around compute, storage, energy, water, minerals and network costs, as well as the itys (maintainability, scalability, security, etc.) will all rise up in the end.
But, new things, before the weight of time and scale, are fun to do, and build real relationships with real people. Plus, when the reality hits, the experience makes it possible to do a new version that accounts for architecture, design, and requirements. The exercise contributes to resilience.

One of my labels is a technologist. At the same time, though, I believe that it is a good general rule that using technology wisely is an oxymoron. Another label of mine is optimist, so I believe it is possible to use technology wisely, although unlikely, particularly in our culture.

What I don't understand about the retro compute stuff, is that standards-based CSS/HTML/JavaScript/SVG in a browser, combined with the hard-wired OS stuff via Deno (or runtime of your choice) provides a more interesting, flexible, and inexpensive platform.

At some point after various collapse events, a finished steer will cost more and more. Eventually it will surpass 1 BTC. It will be a strange mish-mash of opposing forces, but I'd bet a six-pack of beer we will have enough of both kinds of culture to see that intersect. Now, at that point, in a Matrix-like scene with the steak, which will your guest choose? The meal that pulverized our topsoil, along with all of the other negative externalities, or some nice tofu? My guess, if we our honest, and there are no other strings, would be, "holy shit, I'll take the steak".

Bluesky was fine before scale, just like Mastodon was. My experience was that the twitter migration tilted Mastodon, then they flocked to Bluesky. Bluesky then got enough scale that it attracted mainstream, and this attracted political and monetary opportunists (meat and metal). The twitter folk likely won't flock here, because the culture has a heavy bitcoin tilt along with the associated subculture aspects (some of which attract me, some of which does not). There is also an apples/oranges deal here, in that fully distributed architectures like Nostr and the older WebID/FOAF push a lot of network traffic/connections down on the client. I've had multiple accounts on both Bluesky and Mastodon, and was there during the migrations. You could watch the birds swarm and kill the forest, then watch the opportunists show up. My take is that architecturally Nostr simply can't scale to 100 million and be usable, but Bluesky can (even if the cultural barrier was overcome). If Nostr did scale like that (I'm wrong) I'd still wager that we would still have a cultural barrier, and even if that was overcome, you'd have technical barriers because regular folks these days can't secure a private key. So: enjoy this island of freedom, but I think you are assuming too much about the reasons. (yeah... like the other posts, proving your point, lol)

People think like a botnet on social media. It is easily poisoned and manipulated because most no longer think, they just categorized and cluster. Any graphic or reference that sounds plausible can work. There are exceptions, but keep expectations low. Most are susceptible, but this will pass.

And, I should not forget that I've done these visualization with non-technical users that were ready to ditch anything resembling workflow. I've also done several other implementations. This method is a known good. I've just improved it and made it work without servers, admins, or experts.

2025-05-27 18:40:30 UTC

I can always learn more. I do need to interact for that. Primarily, though, this is to ensure my efforts fit into a broader understanding of the challenges. It is unlikely I will find anybody creating knowledge graphs for tactical response and visualization meant for human use and cognition.

Three recent events have guided me towards vanilla language: rare feedback on social media (Dobby D.), a conversation with my father the same week, and insights from Quinn's Ishmael. I have been veering towards this for awhile, simplifying the methods and models. I need to heed #Burroughs' DE.

2025-05-26 14:32:19 UTC

My premise for four years is that opportunity for cultural change via changing paradigms comes after collapse events. The problem is that current culture is untethered, so the resulting mythology will likely cause another cycle of self-destruction. I must use vanilla language for mapping tools.

2025-05-26 13:54:24 UTC

Why mythology when #DonellaMeadows explicitly describes it with paradigms? It is the approach. An agent is in a double bind ( #GregoryBateson ). "We are not outside the ecology," and this includes mind/#paradigms. Meadows' expectations of agents is idealistic. Mythology is passive-subversive.

If the world is thought of as something that humans extract resources from and conquer, then, yes, much has been extracted, and we are facing negative externalities. But, take a hard look at that point of view in the first place. This comes from the same culture that got us into our predicament, and goes back much further than boomers. We are part of an engine of destructive culture that goes back 10,000 years (although, modernity and the last 150 years makes the previous 9,850 years look like Eden). Until we dig a bit deeper, we will always find somebody to blame besides ourselves (and our culture that we *all* share, although the experience of negative externalities and freedom is not proportional).

In addition to resisting scruffy ontologies, idealists/technologists tend to avoid scruffy flows. Often, as #AtulGawande will attest, all most need is a checklist. Think of tactical, quick to build maps more like a checklist mind map, not a structural solution. This is human focused, not tech.

Some imagine progress as a world where you purchase water via bitcoin and a phone. Has anybody seen the movie Red Headed Stranger with Willie Nelson? https://njump.me/nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqvdsg9jj50ngp398sah85y48kamj9q46zds5c5nae8xcvaz8fj6nqqs2xdqfknhx0smrgg97evvgpjqucq8vfw7cam8jz4pu505psn844hqa8luv8

GM Remember that bit in The Burbs where Tom Hanks declares that he is going into that house and not coming out before he finds a dead body? Well, I'm going in to several related projects and not coming out until I have working multi-level, navigable graphs with narrative, notes and paths embedded.

Another #OfflineCapable #LocalFirst hack is to use ESM so you can import locally using the same source that pushes out the NPM published modules. For instance:
```
//import { model_to_dots } from "text-model-dot";
import { model_to_dots } from "../text-model-dot.js";
```
Test your whole toolchain.

For those that want to be able to build knowledge tools offline, MDN/yari is an excellent resource. I can't understate it. Make sure you test your local instance by going offline. While you're at it, install GPT4ALL with a few models to use. Think of it as the offline Wikipedia Reader's Digest.

GM (Which is a strange convention, as this is global. What it really means is "I greet y'all from my timezone, and I'm drinking coffee or similar morning ritual, and use Engl/German abbr.) My three feeds have a different emergent energy. Today the nostr energy is like:

Almost all of my recent code runs just in the browser. Cloud, admins, servers not required. True, for data work with storage and transfer I run #deno on the client machine, but we can do some pretty amazing things with just a browser and local storage (which saves data on the client machine).

This looks like a good option to create #nostr sigs using JavaScript.

Followed back. I just do fiat money, so no wallet, but maybe I'll learn something from your feed. I'm on nostr because of the the fully distributed identity features. (Well, that, and Henry Story of WebID fame got me interested in nostr a couple years ago.)

Well, time for my social media identity to stop posting my opinion about how we stress opinions and identities in knowledge graphs too much, and get back to focusing on what I can contribute by creating tools that facilitate local knowledge graphs for tactical crisis response with minimal identity.

2025-05-06 14:25:01 UTC

We could build graphs to collaborate on knowledge in a way that was gentle on network traffic and resources if we abandoned the need to constantly be an identity in the knowledge graph with our associated opinions. https://www.buffalo.edu/cas/philosophy/faculty/faculty_directory/smith-b.html

While I think we put too much stock in identity, and our social graph of opinions and outrage, identity does have important aspects when contributing. We need to gauge intention and value, and there are bad actors and garbage contributions.

2025-05-06 13:38:36 UTC

The problematic requirement across many domains is our insistence on identity, as though establishing our opinion means more than collaborating on knowledge or action. Does it matter what lab or PhD contributed to the Human Genome project? No. Does it matter who I am? No. Contribution matters.

Anybody remember trying to load a profile with #WebID when tbl actually had a fairly filled out one? It took forever. This is a similar problem to #nostr profiles if you build the graph locally. The fediverse pushes that out to the instance, which works better, but a centralized graph is fastest.

Who is to blame for the destruction of the biosphere for vertebrates? Like the first Earth day poster, "We have met the enemy and he is us." Who is responsible for the enshitification of everything? Us. Nobody wants to be #moloch, but our lotus tree makes us complacent, content to just sling outrage.

GM I woke from my dreams solving a problem I've had for a decade, so long ago that I forgot it was a problem. #Graphviz and the neato layout is great for human-oriented layouts. But legends are difficult to inject. I'm already decorating the nodes with #d3, so it is easy to add a legend and title.
