long vertical concepts and wide horizontal concepts.

• Is vertically deep concept an appropriate description? - deep understanding trickle down concept.

  • analogy

• Knowledge Network

• The bias of easy drawing

The relationship between “Writing with the expectation that others will process the information” and “[I don’t expect others to do it.

• If it is in your personal Scrapbox, no one else can write on it.

• If you put it in a shared Scrapbox, other people may write in it.

• Expect there to be “an unknown development” by the latter.

• But this is a stochastic event.

  • Whether it will develop or not
  • Whether the development is beneficial or not
  • Whether or not I can understand the beneficial development

• Not something that has a definite value that has a probability of value.

  • You are responsible for fitting your expectations, not others.
  • I wrote that in “[I don’t expect others to do it.

• By the way, substitute “AI” for “others”.

  • At least we can force them to “read and write comments”.
  • Development will occur, whether that development is beneficial or not is probabilistic.
  • The responsibility for beneficial development lies with you, not with AI.

• One step forward question.

  • Knowledge Network
  • Distance is subjective.
    • There is more than one kind of distance.
  • The bias of easy drawing

• Mr. X has a link between concept A and B

• Mr. Y has a link between concepts B and C

• At this time, those subjective distances between concepts are different for the two of us.

• When Mr. X makes a statement that relates A to B and Mr. Y makes a statement that relates B to C, they both obtain a “link between the distant A and C”.

• One step forward question. As depicted in

• Venn diagrammatic depiction of knowledge.

• Overlaying the knowledge of several people on a single figure. These are [The bias of easy drawing

• By overlaying them on a single figure implicitly assuming that they are a common distance space.

• Relationship between Venn diagram notation for knowledge and [knowledge network notation In light of this, let’s look back at the diagram in [One step forward question.

Assuming a knowledge set of A, we asked a question on the edge of A’s knowledge set: QA

• This is intended to be both understandable to people in A and an opportunity to step outside of A

  • My own question is QB, but I don’t think that comes across directly.

• The explanation of X and Y is no different than what I already wrote

• Z description changes.

  • I felt that the answer Z far from A was just not linked in my B’s subjective distance space, but in Mr. C’s subjective distance space, there was a link and it was a “close position”.
  • Not an answer to the question QA itself, but an answer after “stepping back” to the concept of “difficult questions”. - The optimal solution is not unconditionally determined.

• Pyramid notation of knowledge

• 

long vertical concepts and wide horizontal concepts.

• Is vertically deep concept an appropriate description? - deep understanding - This one might be a little different.
• In mathematics and programming, logical precision allows for concepts that are vertically longer than thinking in natural language.
• Knowledge is transferred from that concept to other areas in analogy.
  • trickle down concept.

About Today’s Diary

• I did Dr.Stretch yesterday, fell asleep after dinner, then moved to the futon and went back to sleep and woke up around 5:00.
• Did you sleep well?
• 
• That gave me a few crystals in my head waiting for output after I woke up.
  • It wasn’t in the form of a clear explanation.
  • At any rate, I’ve got an output.
  • It became clearer and clearer as I wrote it down.
• This phenomenon itself is interesting and I want to save it.
  • Cut it out and you’ll lose it.
  • On the other hand, there are components that look like they should be cut out.
  • I don’t know what’s going on.
    • [The appropriate way to cut out the need is determined after the need is identified.

Graph of Thoughts: Solving Elaborate Problems with Large Language Models - Scrapbox is a purifier of ideas

• Card-type databases (such as information card) have been used not only in Japan (such as zetterkasten).

  • Why write on the card? ？
  • Because it’s beneficial to come across cards I’ve written in the past.
    • (This is a bit dubious. I’m OK with reading over what I’ve written in my booklet notes for this purpose.)

• Why is it beneficial to encounter something written by your past self?

  • Because my past self has a different perspective than my present self.
    • Why is it beneficial to be different?
      • Because dialogue with people with different perspectives leads to awareness.
        • Others have different perspectives, why not simply interact with others?
          • When others don’t have knowledge about the subject you now want to develop, it costs you money to communicate it. - Thought acceleration effect of self-derived LLMs - One step forward question. - Dialogue with the harmony of your past
