Quotes

"Dialogue is mutual search for a new reality, not debate to win with stronger arguments. In a dialogue propositions are pointers toward a common new reality; not against each other to win a verbal battle, but complementing each other in an effort to accommodate legitimate goals of all parties, inspired by theories and values, and constructive-creative-concrete enough to become a causa finalis". Galtuung


"I use the concept of affect as away of talking about a margin of manouverability, the 'where we might be able to go' and 'what we might be able to do' in every present situation. I guess 'affect' is a word I use for 'hope': Massumi


"A discourse is a system of words, actions, rules, beliefs, and institutions that share common values. Particular discourses sustain particular worldviews. We might even think of a discourse as a worldview in action. Discourses tend to be invisible--taken for granted as part of the fabric of reality."Fairclough


Emergence is “the principle that entities exhibit properties which are meaningful only when attributed to the whole, not to its parts.” Checkland


"What the designer cares about is whether the user perceives that some action is possible (or in the case of perceived non-affordances, not possible)." Norman

Coding: Notes re: Software & Binary Language & Persona Constructs



 Quaitative Research Software?
How relate to signal Noise?

How relates to Soft Systems
To Massumi/James: Empirical Research?

What - review

Catma
TA4

Objectification - assigning binary constructs?
to phenomena
c.f validation

signal/noise > coding?  i.e. theme?

TAMSAnalyzer

Chapter 3: Coding
A. What is a code
A code is a name that identifies the meaning or significance of a passage of text or part of an image or PDF page. (Personal Construct?)

 My focus here is going to be on text files. Working with images and PDFs is a fairly straightforward extension of the text idea. In TAMS the text passage is surrounded by tags that have the code and other information with it. Codes can be nested and overlapped without problem.
1. Valid characters
The names of codes can have letters, numbers, and underscores (“_”). They cannot have spaces.
Codes can be hierarchical, i.e., you can create a whole family of codes, indicating the various levels with “>”. For instance, to create a “food” family with carrot, parsley, and cilantro in it, you would name the codes
food>carrot   (Objective Example : Ignores Typing issues with complex systems)
food>parsley
food>cilantro
carrot, parsley, and cilantro are subcodes of food. 

e.g. {food>parsley}Parsley makes me happy.{/food>parsley}

{Random Journey>Derive[srt]} Derives are a pointless waste of time {Random Journey>Derive[srt] : (comment)}
Note that TAMS is case sensitive. Also you can still use food (no subcode) as a code.

this is via a construct system?

research reviews signs and noise for changes


binary signals exclude:
layerd textured surface
all in all
everything being anything
present ground
bfafe

hence such concepts are not common in our binary language...

why

language separates wholefrompart
its not separate..
handbody c.f bWo Deleuze


c.f  prioritising : functional effeciency and automation re research...


Randomness<>Meaning Binary<>Excluded Middle
within language

random reminder codes are too simple….? ok with food>parsley
