Exploring New Models through Implementation

• When Myself says that they are interested in HCI, it feels like this is what they are particularly interested in:

  • The interaction between Human and Computer is just one theme to consider when thinking about models.
  • Software development is just one of the means of implementation ([Application of technology as a means]).

• I haven’t fully grasped it yet.

  • However, out of all the attempts to generalize one’s interests that have been made so far, this one resonates the most.
  • Therefore, I want to deepen my understanding here.

• It’s like going back and forth between the following two concepts ([Going Back and Forth between Abstraction and Concreteness]):

  • Exploring areas that cannot be reached through abstract thinking through trial and error in concrete implementation.
    • In prototyping, trying to reach places that cannot be reached by imagination alone.
    • The process of creating Eva, using real objects to find angles that cannot be found by imagination, seems to follow the same line of thinking.
  • Ah, I was quoting the same discussion in mathematics from Mathematical Girl on the Definition page (blu3mo).
    • This might have been one of the sources of my thoughts.
    • It seems like similar discussions could be done in areas other than mathematics.

• This can be summed up as “creating a Palmacon and deconstructing it” (blu3mo).

  • It’s Nice to Know the Names Already Attached to Concepts

• Specifically, examples that I am imagining:

  • The study of the self-organization by (drinami) et al. (not sure if I understand it correctly)#self-organization theory
    • Implementing something new that cannot be explained by existing models of the body (concrete).
    • Based on the insights gained there, thinking about a new, more versatile model of the body (abstract).
      • For example, by researching robotic arms like Metalimbs that add arms, expanding the definition of the body and considering a model with multiple hands.
    • Something like that?
    • I don’t know how much they are thinking about these things, but at least I am interested in this (blu3mo).
  • Is this also what I want to do in the Exploration of Virtual Time?
    • A new model about human’s sense of time, perhaps?
    • No, but I feel like that’s not the ultimate goal (blu3mo).
      • It’s probably about exploring new models through implementation, right?
  • Reconsidering the concepts of “human” and “consciousness” considering AI that behaves like humans.
  • The content of University of Tokyo 1S Law and Society
    • Reconstructing “legal theory” considering the evolution of computer media.

• Applying an engineering approach to achieve the goals of science, does this expression fit?

  • No, but what I want is not the “discovery of truth” but It’s interesting to imagine things that emerge from setting rules, so ultimately, it’s about engineering.

• Miscellaneous Notes:

• Former Title: Philosophy of Moving Hands

  • I didn’t really think it was philosophy.

• Exploring philosophical themes while implementing experiences by moving hands.

  • Themes like what it means to be human, what the body is, what reality is, what knowledge is, what a computer is, what media is, etc.
  • Isn’t there a term that refers to this kind of research?

• Related but slightly different discussion: Ideas Are Easier to Convey When Accompanied by Implementation

• (tkgshn) as a media artist#media art

  • (blu3mo) Media artists seem to focus more on art as the main outcome, the main purpose, right?
  • It becomes a concept like “What is Art” – probably the artists who are currently in the spotlight just want to implement concepts in society (tkgshn).
    • But since there are no good words (and it takes time for them to catch on), they express it visually (tkgshn).
    • Is the tool for philosophical expression (questioning) physical? (tkgshn)
  • Is the philosophy of moving hands different from philosophy of moving thoughts (tkgshn)?
