The wetware equivalents of this are publishing editors who put journals, books, magazines together and curators who put exhibitions together. pagerank is one thing, decision-making selections another http://spacecollective.org/nomthepuppet/6534/Is-Space-Collective-too-big New comment on: Is Space Collective too big? http://spacecollective.org/nomthepuppet/6534/Is-Space-Collective-too-big http://spacecollective.org/nomthepuppet/6534/Is-Space-Collective-too-big Sat, 18 Dec 2010 15:33:59 +0000 nom the puppet 6534 <a href="http://spacecollective.org/BenRayfield">BenRayfield</a> wrote: I like the "Space Collective Enhancement" project idea. I have some artificial intelligence related proposals that could reorganize the way threads are displayed differently for each user. Some of these are very simple and could be created with only a few lines of code. Example: Threads and users are connected to threads and users. Synapses are thread to thread. Associates are user to user. Posts are between thread and user. This algorithm would think of threads and users as the same kind of thing. Add a new way to view threads beside "new posts". Call it "clusters of posts" or "web of posts". Like a neural network, everything has an electricity amount (neural activation) which spreads through the network. It starts the same as "new posts", but each time you click a thread, some of its electric charge moves to the threads/users connected to it, and the list of threads is sorted again by the updated electric charges. There could also be a button on each thread to do the opposite, to make connected threads/users lose electric charge and not appear near the top. Theres around 5000 threads and 3000 users, so there will be no problems with cpu time or memory. Its simply a way to navigate threads (indirectly by what users posted in them, associations of users, and synapses to threads) by clicking which threads you want more or less of. Its similar to <a href="http://spacecollective.org/BenRayfield/6240/Wikipedia-Brain" target="blank">http://spacecollective.org/BenRayfield/6240/Wikipedia-Brain</a>  which navigates Wikipedia page names by the links between them, but this would be done slower and with more thought put into each click of less/more like the clicked thread. I'm trying to get into research on collective intelligence and better ways to organize people through artificial intelligence and intuitive user-interfaces. I'd like to write some code to create such things for SpaceCollective, and maybe write a research paper about it depending on if interesting things happen. I could do it separately from the main code so theres no risk to SpaceCollective. http://spacecollective.org/nomthepuppet/6534/Is-Space-Collective-too-big New comment on: Is Space Collective too big? http://spacecollective.org/nomthepuppet/6534/Is-Space-Collective-too-big http://spacecollective.org/nomthepuppet/6534/Is-Space-Collective-too-big Fri, 17 Dec 2010 16:02:06 +0000 nom the puppet 6534 <a href="http://spacecollective.org/nomthepuppet">nom the puppet</a> wrote: Folkert Gorter was the designer.

What about a "Space Collective Enhancement" Project? A centre of discussion where any user can post feedback and suggestions, and have them open to discussion and refinement from any other user. After all, many of the posts here concern the enhancement of our species, why not have the same approach to the site? http://spacecollective.org/nomthepuppet/6534/Is-Space-Collective-too-big New comment on: Is Space Collective too big? http://spacecollective.org/nomthepuppet/6534/Is-Space-Collective-too-big http://spacecollective.org/nomthepuppet/6534/Is-Space-Collective-too-big Thu, 16 Dec 2010 03:31:22 +0000 nom the puppet 6534 <a href="http://spacecollective.org/sjef">sjef</a> wrote: <blockquote>it's a stoner, basically.</blockquote> lol.
