X has a WoT ranked feed for articles. Are you paying attention?

Haha no. But I think that is different than demand being infinite. I guess I’m critiquing your flavor of rhetoric more than anything. 🙄

The coordinate of a note is the simhash of the note's content.

Look at https://github.com/arkin0x/ONOSENDAI for the simhash impmementation

The coordinate of an event kind is derived differently depending on the kind's purpose. Not all event kinds make sense to portray in a spatial dimension.

Currenly, the only object who's display in cyberspace is well-formed are notes. However, I have several other objects in progress: avatars, constructs, home coordinates, and action chains.

Ah, I sort of had it backwards... So kind-1 events from different users but with the same content would have the same i-space coordinate? And d-space is derived from the id of a kind-331 event?

Ok… is the mapping between d-space and a geographic coordinate system defined somewhere? And…

Does i-space contain all nostr notes?

I can’t quite grok i-space and d-space from your cyberspace spec. Is there additional reading anywhere to help me learn?

Yea, I haven't seen a strong scientific account for this. I do think the theory is plausible though, and leaves space to not simply abandon the common ancestor idea.

Common ancestor idea also seems more aligned with what I understand of God's nature, for whatever that's worth.

Oh damn, nice. This looked like the mine under Fally where I used to mine iron all the time. Had that super convenient deposit box

This smells like iron ore grinding.

Well, Darwin believed that adaptation had “inertia” such that organisms would “accelerate” toward a niche and then sort of settle into it. So that is one case in which mutation rate may not be constant.

I agree with you that Darwinian theory is not sufficient by the way.

🤙🤙🤙 You should read https://www.amazon.com/Darwins-Doubt-Explosive-Origin-Intelligent/dp/0062071483

The presupposition of a common ancestor leads to wild theories that just don't find any footing. With the common ancestor theory disproven using modern discoveries, why does it need new wild theories to resurrect it? Darwin's Origin was published almost 100 years before we discovered DNA. The clinging to his theories is as archaic as some religions at this point, except this particular religion can be falsified.

Of course that does not change the popular opinion of darwinism. They just keep trying to make it work somehow because they are afraid of explaining where the genetic and epigenetic information originated if not by natural processes.

But that is no longer science if a theory can't be questioned or disproven.

Cheers sir

I’ll consider reading this! I will say, I don’t feel that you really responded to my ideas though.

Ok cool.

I read origin of species. There’s a really interesting example in the book where Darwin struggles with the existence of sterile ants that have a really unique body shape. The fact that they were sterile meant that their special characteristics had to be completely carried by the regular ants without being expressed. Darwin tried to resolve this by applying his theory of evolution at the level of the ant colony in addition to the level of the individual organism.

I bring this up to say that I think all of life sharing a common lineage might be explainable with understanding that goes beyond evolution.

One possibility is that “mutations” are not random but instead something that biological life naturally exerts influence over. This would dramatically change the math.
