Sémantique, métastabilité et effets de réseaux

Hi,

 This summer I gave a presentation in French at Bernard Stiegler's Summer school in Epineuil,
( http://pharamakon.fr/ ) on the subject of "Semantics, metastability and networks effects",
where through I try to show how David Lewis' work on Convention and to how his work on common 
knowledge is a way of explaining metastability of meaning, and hence of URLs on the web. The 
network effects is key to explaining how from small value decisions one can get large metastable 
effects. This explains how the  architecture of the web - which is explained in Fregean terms - 
is able to evolve so quickly. Semantics is another dimension of the network effect, as it allows 
one to merge information even faster to create even large network effects, or if you want to allow 
more fragile relations to metastabilise.

And I should write this down in english at some point a lot more carefully.
