Re: [FRIAM] Thuram still happening?

2023-02-16 Thread Santafe
It’s the tiniest and most idiosyncratic take on this question, but FWIW, here:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1520752113

I actually think that all of what Nick says below is a perfectly good draft of 
a POV.

As to whether animals “have” categories: Spend time with a dog.  Doesn’t take 
very much time.  Their interest in conspecifics is (ahem) categorically 
different from their interest in people, different than to squirrels, different 
than to cats, different than to snakes.

For me to even say that seems like cueing a narcissism of small differences, 
when overwhelmingly, their behavior is structured around categories, as is 
everyone else’s.  Squirrels don’t mistake acorns for birds of prey.  Or for the 
tree limbs and house roofs one can jump onto.  Or for other squirrels.  It’s 
all categories.  Behavior is an operation on categories.

I found it interesting that you invoked “nouns” as a framework that is helpful 
but sometimes obstructive.  One might just have said “words”.  This is 
interesting to me already, because my syntactician friends will tell you that a 
noun is not, as we were taught as children, a “word for a person, place, or 
thing”, but rather a “word in a language that transforms as nouns transform in 
that language”, which is a bit of an obfuscation, since they do have in common 
that they are in some way “object-words”.  But from the polysemy and synonymy 
perspective, we see that “meanings” cross the noun-verb syntactic distinction 
quite frequently for some categories.  Eye/see, ear/hear, moon/shine, and stuff 
like that.  My typologist friends tell me that is common but particular to some 
meanings much more than others.

Another fun thing I was told by Ted Chiang a few months ago, which I was amazed 
I had not heard from linguists, and still want to hold in reserve until I can 
check it further.  He says that languages without written forms do not have a 
word for “word”.  If true, that seems very interesting and important.  If 
Chiang believes it to be true, it is probably already a strong enough 
regularity to be more-or-less true, and thus still interesting and important.

Sorry, Dave.  Will miss you.  You have been my most faithful recent
companion in my quest for windmills to topple. As for your double take, I
probably used the wrong initials. I was thinking about the AI thing which,
I gather, Bing is now employing to get us all advice on how to cure our
lumbago, without ever having to bother with that nasty Mayo Clinic website.


I see why you want to substitute “cloud” for my link metaphor. It’s easier
to think of clouds probabilistically.  Clouds are awfully passive entities
to serve in the way I need them to.  Clouds are not, in the first instance,
things but visualizations of things. (They can themselves become things,
but Idon’t think you have anticipated that metaphoric implication.)   my
”links” are more deterministic than your clouds. I admit that
“probabilistic link” is a hard image to think, and therefore not a very
evocative metaphor. How about ”woodland path”  Woodland pathways provide a
more dynamic image than “links”.  Started by a rabbit, adopted by a coyote,
exploited by a deer, blundered into by a cow, woodland pathways flourish or
fail by use and by the attractiveness of the nodes where they converge or
cross.  Each use favors future use and nodes become prominent not only for
their inherent attractiveness but because they are on the way to.
attractive nodes.  Thus Sublette KS is a well traveled node not only
because of the tourist attraction of visiting the place where the 1917-18
("spanish") flu got its start, but also because it happens to be on the
shortest route from NYC to LA.  .



 in thinking about this, we should focus on the animal case.  Humans are
too complicated to be interesting. Also, I think we should focus on animals
in currently living in their "environment of evolutionary adaptiveness."



I wish we could entice Glen, and Mike, and Stephen to drop in on us around
11 tomorrow,if only to show your faces. The node is
