4.2

 -- Time-Frame

 

 

An item-cluster may have any size on a map. We always make one to coincide with the border of the map - i.e. a time-period of one year in the present time-frame example.

 

In this time frame, we can set clusters for the coordinates [q] that can be reached over that one year period.

When we talk about an action [p] - i.e. supplying a customer - we do not have a priori reasons to locate it in a particular place unless it happens somewhere between two actors.

Actions are in fact like concepts: they are not localized and they reify only where a context make them happen.

It results that we can hardly cluster the space in advance for specific actions localization. Instead we frame the space with time-period clusters where actions may reify.

Those [t] clusters and the time-period defined by the map border constitutes a time-frame where actions of any sorts might be recorded without a priori knowledge on their nature.

Parallelisms : Semantic - Holotomography - Neurophenomenology


Semantic

To set the frame of this paragraph, let's mention that since the emergence of the web, I have been involved in several work issues related with semantic. I looked at web writing - at the aim of users experience ergonomics and to be found from different types of search engines as well as I identified semantic sets structures aiming at the construction and testing of a three search engines - each dedicated at a specific case with regards to document management and information retrieval - i.e. I looked at vectors based models, nouns frequencies in text and query sets and at metadata generation and efficiency.

When we recognized a parallelisms between our maps and quantum mechanics - see the Hilbert spaces test in the parallelism of the page 1.3 - I made a tour back in semantic and I easily found authors recognizing quantum like structure in semantic - see D. Aerts & alii.

Since I always cared about possible acquaintance between our maps and the semantic domain.

Two persons suggested that our maps were related to a kind of language - one highlighted that it was a visual piece of language and an other one suggested that they could be handled as a writing means.

When we decided about our best set of configuration conventions - see the page 2.4 - we observed that a written text was in line with them - say that a text was also and "per se" a complete view.

When we looked at our design extensions within other domains, we designed a set of working assumptions on how the structures exhibited by our maps could be liaised with semantic. They can be shortly summarized by the following three points:

1. The coordinates [q] that provide the configuration of a time frame are best to be nouns of objects-actors that are individualized and separable.

In general nouns relating to persons are the most sense making for framing dynamics - say i.e. people, group of people, organization names, brands or sectors as well as locations or buildings names providing that they symbolize people.

Nouns that relates to intangible concepts are also sense making when they may designate like groups of people at work - i.e. packaging, marketing, logistics - and nouns that relate to objects are better seen as moving bodies in a time frame - i.e. goods in a market.

The nouns that are utilized to describe information, knowledge, idea and conceptualization are also like moving objects in the frame.

In any case, most of the frames are having sense mostly from the nouns.

Alternatively, we may say "and from nouns groups" in the sense that adjective have no meaning by themselves but only when they are associated with a noun and shape with him a unique entity - say that an adjective would be senseless per se, in the sense that it can be associated nearly with any nouns, so it is only owning a sense when actually associated with a given noun.

2. The actions [p] are represented by verbs; verbs usages is to liaise two nouns; verb may in principle liaise with any nouns. Because they may also liaise with so much entities, they also own per se a very weak sense if not none at all in general.

Adverbs have no more sense than adjective and they only liaise with verb at creating entities, like adjectives do for the nouns - say a noun + an adjective is like another noun, a verb with an adverb is like another verb.

3. The time periods [t] are "all the rest" that is in between nouns and verbs: the more frequent one is the white spaces but also the dots, the pronouns, the conjunctions, the articles. They meaning is nil.

Because of a lack of time and resources, we have not gone further on to verify if those working assumptions would raise advantages in the semantic domains but when we defined a time frame as above in this page, we found that they were a very nice illustration about it, in particular about the property that actions were non localized potentials, that they reify only the presence of two given coordinates and that time-period is a liaison mean in between.


Semantic - Holotomography - Neurophenomenology

The construction of the section 5 suggested - in an unknown manner - liaisons between our maps and how the human brain makes connections that are implicit between a human understanding and visual elements.

As said, this makes us to again pay attention that a plain text is fully respecting the convention that we selected as our best options for the configuration of an organic space - refer to the page 2.4 .

In turn, a plain text is a complete view in the same way that our maps are so that some brain understanding mechanism might be recognized similar in a text and in our maps.

This inferred the observation that - when we refer to a text and we pay attention to white space spaces that we indicated in the previous paragraph as possibly representing time periods in a text - we can easily observe in a text that several white space values are inducing several associated different human brain behaviors.

In example, the spaces between the letters of a word are small and such that the human brain nearly takes a word in "one shot" - even when some letters are permuted. The spaces between words are larger - say above the double - and the brain takes easily a few words but not so much like a paragraph is rarely taken at once.

White spaces between paragraphs and pages are still larger and the brain take obviously more time to assemble them - i.e. with usually a noticeable break in between.

We tested a few examples with both a narrow and a slightly doubled space between elements and group of elements in the map - say like the spaces between the letters of word and between different words. An example of such trial may be seen at the last map at the bottom of this examples page.

Noticeable is that the element separated by the small spaces have been taken by the watchers as whole unique and identified entities - say like a "word" however they could not name it - and that the relationships between all those implicitly described entities have been reported very alike relationship between words in a sentence.

In a sense, the value of the white space on a map - like in a text - seems to suggest like the importance of a relationship and seems to reflect an ability of the human brain to integrate them either at once either in more or less short or long time interval.
