From: thunk on 6 Apr 2010 03:27 ....... and nothing has to happen to that ru'id for it to become a part of a system that is continually "fired! at" every new posting. Authors are sorted and given ranks by "merito-tology" / secret meetings / politico points / inverse to spelling errors or whatever the bright people behind all this think is should be. (oh boy, that's a sleeper) Conceptually the ru'ids are not "flying around" rather they much more like a BULLET (metaphore #103, sorry) but that is true. The hit the target or they don't. Oh. Like a light wave - that fits, and recently a nifty phrase pinged the author's gedanker, something like "shadow caster" and a flag got attached to that, a not got made on a wiki- page, and the author was accused of rambling too long..... it was a suspended idea shoved into text.... how to explain? Bullets seem not so peaceful, but excuse the author for a moment, and let him share? - not an unfascinating gedangengang partner? A modern machinegun can "caste" (like stones... wow) bullets in such a way that square meters are covered in seconds. now, if they were less menacing and smart enough to send a message back.... then a helicopter could bullet caste objects of interest and build an image of what the target was. ahhhh, light does that too, right? so these Ru'ids are about the speed of a bullet, less harmful, they-come-in- peace! , but they "form an image" of what they are thrown at by way of very simple communications.... it's a shame bullets cannot do the same yet. OK? The author was in "Blue Sky Research" where we did "brain storming" and some of that has never gone away - it is a technique that has probably been renamed in problem space but in such sessions you don't inhibit thoughts. No, stream of consiousness did not "die" with Joyce - do you know who Robin Williams is? Oh boy. that man can caste thoughts....... puff the magic comedian - git it? thunktocktor

That's what "boids" can do? Seriously? I thought you were making fun of thunk at first. Way Short ans: no. More thoughtful short ans: yes Explain? I think I like "ru'ids" as part of this tightly packed "100% ruby set of modules". There is messynesses in this already - a demo requires a weblet - and that weblet would really help all this make sense. I don't want to "over advertise" this, seriously, but the "ru'id" is born distributed to be distributed and to be a small part of this bundle that can use them on any machine that can execute ruby, anywhere, over and over, I guess, or once an hour, or once a day. it is - maybe - more about "signals" and "broadcasting" than .....????? ........... this would be nice to chat about with some professor someplace. a ru'id is trained to respond in a scrpted way to some particular set of keys.... like the example above. "it" leaves a coded mssg that the swarm_reader must decode. its all a tight "bundle" of dynamic action - lots of reflection - the "magic" comes from how simple it is to take a urRuid and get it ready to go on it's mission - which is basically "to listen" - think about instructions to a wwII pilot as a part of a set of planes going on a single misssion - his instructions could be: follow your usual guy use your usual handle follow in the usual formation report anything interesting (what ain't water) or - "do it again, fly boy" might be all he needs to hear the urRu'id has all the otherstuff, and the pilot gets that free. AND why are you doing "Boids" on the author?? you teasing/testing him? ====================== could a Ru'id do that?? let them watch "TopGun" a few times, and watch out?! seriously, they could get fibered and go on much longer missions - and that would raise the consulting fees but that's not what they were born to do. Perhaps, however, if building a nest of shim-sticks (?) is worth something more than bombarding NewEgg shopping baskets - then who am I to say - I can say that would seem to be more fun! that what the author is doing now - but getting something done rather than writing about it also is a consideration. thunktocktor
From: thunk on 6 Apr 2010 10:25 Thunk just finished this new analogy, it seems to him to hit home.... it probably can use a lot of tweaking, but the idea IS IN THERE, and really, for the first time thunk thinks he "could not miss". It starts with imagining a kid with 10,000 "nurfs" (firing 2000/sec) it ends with imaging and seems to clarify the whole thing to a point beyond his own recent understanding (his project is not using much of this, yet) thunktoktor http://wiki.github.com/gkoller/Ruids/a-nurf-analogy
