@OpenAI What are the best examples of AI arriving at new conjectures or not-previously-posed mathematical problems (as opposed to, very impressively, solving existing ones)?

6 yrs later, I find the question again in a fantastic conversation w @drmichaellevin & Terrence Deacon.

Still wondering: is there a way to measure the morphological interestingness self-organising systems seem to display, from a static representation?

Hey #complexity people: is there some rigorous measure of complexity under which the image on the right is more complex than the image on the left? 0/n

I’m enjoying the space around each thought this morning.

How do you build #maps and directories using #decentralized data? Use the Murmurations Protocol > Version 1 is up and running: https://t.co/8HvLI0zQDc make a profile, and view your data on multiple maps - feedback requested! @xdamman @danbri @TreborS @ntnsndr @SolidarityEcon

@meedabyte @sam5 @francescapick @disruptandlearn @RichDecibels @solarpunk_girl Interesting. I'm curious how so. What mechanism do you have in mind that links compensation process with business model?

[Adam McKenty @amckent]

What are your favorite resources or practices for setting compensation in self-managed teams?

@solarpunk_girl @sam5 @francescapick @disruptandlearn @RichDecibels @Percolab_ In the case I'm looking at it's a team with ongoing roles in an organization, so not project-based, but the minimum and maximum is interesting nevertheless. Danke!

[Adam McKenty @amckent]

@RichDecibels @sam5 @francescapick @disruptandlearn @solarpunk_girl Definitely the meta answer. Working out in the psychological exercise machine of self-management... 💪

[Adam McKenty @amckent]

@RichDecibels @sam5 @francescapick @disruptandlearn @solarpunk_girl Thanks Rich! Great list. Nice to be reacquainted with your Hum cash sharing ninja spreadsheet sorcery as well💯

[Adam McKenty @amckent]

@disruptandlearn @sam5 @francescapick @RichDecibels @solarpunk_girl Awesome, thanks Lisa. I had seen your article once before, but it's good to be reminded of it.

Ignoring general advice against giving general advice, I hereby suggest we each take a few small steps to re-inhabit #democracy from the bottom up and the inside out. To wit, my first Medium article: https://t.co/ijdpHdTmj9

@sdcrosby @amckent @sfiscience @C4COMPUTATION @cognitivepolicy @ComplexitySol @JMateosGarcia @solarpunk_girl In a world of stories told through numbers, the language of measurements has become something that appears "real" & less abstract but perhaps that is only because we contextualize measurements through a culture that longs for numbers to be more certain than other forms of story.

[Adam McKenty @amckent]

@NoraBateson @sdcrosby @sfiscience @C4COMPUTATION @cognitivepolicy @ComplexitySol @JMateosGarcia @solarpunk_girl Nora, I'm glad you're here :) I didn't tweet this at you, because it's such a cold data question (as I've conceived it). But, your perspective makes me think in other ways about the impetus for the question. Thank you!

@sfiscience @ShayneLaughter @C4COMPUTATION @cognitivepolicy @ComplexitySol @JMateosGarcia @solarpunk_girl @leecronin @Sara_Imari @nataliegref Looking just at the structure of the artifact, can we learn something general about the system it is from? Is there a metric of structure complexity that would let us say "hmm, the system this came from might be interesting..." or "this thing is similar to things that are alive"?

[Adam McKenty @amckent]

@sfiscience @ShayneLaughter @C4COMPUTATION @cognitivepolicy @ComplexitySol @JMateosGarcia @solarpunk_girl @leecronin @Sara_Imari @nataliegref I think I understand (and the paper looks👍). To rephrase ala Buddhism, all artifacts inter-are with their causes.

What I want to know: does the system leave some signature that can be measured from the artifact itself?

[Adam McKenty @amckent]

@Duncan_BBR I may be looking for a metric that doesn't exist! But, I'm not looking for a metric of meaning, rather of structural complexity. As you note, meaning probably would not be found in the image itself.

[Adam McKenty @amckent]

@mhjb Interesting! Alexander comes at this from a completely different angle, but the intent is related. Plus, reminding of his work is almost always a good thing :) Thanks.
