• I probably won’t use this page anymore.
  • It feels more Scrapbox-like to create pages for each individual topic.
  • Keeping this as a log for June to October 2020.

  • I want to dedicate time to enrich this page in the future.

  • This page will focus on things I have thought about rather than mere input.

  • Still a work in progress, not much content yet.

    • Currently just a miscellaneous note for myself.
    • Writing without much concern for readability or structure.

  • The interaction between humans and Computer (broadly) (HCI)

    • Human intelligence and technology
    • The concept of Window Technology
    • Generalized Interfaces
    • Finding Fundamental Principles in UI Design
      • Various things written here
    • Challenging Laws with Technology
    • OOUI is the idea of interacting with things outside oneself
      • Most things in the real world fit this concept
    • Delving into “self” is Human Augmentation
      • In the realm of real tools, like glasses
    • I don’t think we will end up in a world where AI (as a packaged concept) anticipates and suggests everything
      • The joy of Choice, something like what was done with Globe
    • There are often discussions about the blurring of “reality” and “fiction”, which I find reasonable but somehow unsettling
      • It’s just a matter of feeling “unsettled” or “unexcited”, but delving deeper into this might be interesting (20200724)
      • Ethics
      • This delves into epistemology and philosophy, so it might be good to gain some knowledge in that area before thinking further
      • Update: As of December 21, 2020, I don’t really feel that way anymore
        • Maybe my perception of the word “blur” has changed
          • I used to think of it as ink smudging and becoming indistinguishable, but now I see reality as being incorporated into various fictions
          • It’s all seen through the lens of Ambiguous Eyes, so it’s just a matter of where you are within that layer
  • The role of computers/Technology in society

    • The concept of Apps (like secret tools)
    • Humans and AI
  • In fact, since “what is good” (i.e., Ethics) is unstable, this becomes extremely difficult

  • The characteristics (essence) of computers (digital)

    • Is association the essence of computers?
    • They can appear differently depending on the observer
      • For example, in a game like Werewolf Chess, sharing the same board but asymmetric information
        • Couldn’t be implemented in board games
      • Conversely, it can be seen as partially synchronously binding rather than hiding
    • High-speed search capabilities
      • Obvious (Google, etc.)
      • It seems endless if we start listing such capabilities
        • Advanced search, prediction, classification, etc.
        • Can’t be generalized, maybe
  • More interested in Extension than Automation

    • Enabling things that were previously impossible
  • Examples of others’ philosophies on “humans and computers”

  • It seems like the desire for such philosophies has turned into a goal of “having one’s own philosophy”#goalization of Means


  • Editing Log
    • 2020-06-20
      • Started writing, still very much a blank slate
      • Want to gather my past thoughts here and continue building on them.- If you have free time, it might be nice to randomly display pages on Scrapbox and connect them to this theme for contemplation.
    • 2020-12-21
      • It’s been increasing quite a bit.
      • For now, I have a feeling that something like the layered structure of Ambiguous Eyes and Concept Model is key.
