New Architect: Organized Chaos. Peter Meholz. This is where the principles of emergent systems come in. As centralized schemes grow unwieldy over time, it makes sense to create an alternative information environment where elements are organized according to a few simple rules about how users interact with that information. [Tomalak's Realm] I usually find 'emergence' one of those concepts like 'artificial intelligence' - how about coming up with some human intelligence first? Emergence is too often a code-word for tagging a phenomenon we can't explain while making it sound profound. Emergence! Yeah, man, give me a hit of that stuff .... In this case, we may learn lessons from Slashdot and Amazon.Com about pushing community knowledge-sharing from the center to the edge. I have been thinking quite a bit about the vast quantity of Radio knowledge pouring out the edge of the galaxy and wondering how it can be better captured and broadcast to all. This helps me focus my day-dreaming though I am not quite sure either model fits the Radio community exactly. [0100059 russ lipton] 4:56:32 PM    trackback []     Articulate []
