I try to use Stars Wars and the FORCE at times, but even that doesn't quite nail what we are dealing with here. Thus, we could take another approach i.e., embrace and extend what we know is anomalous since the AWWW architecture (FORCE) actually lets us do this anyway. > That's a fun way of describing things. Fun is one mechanism for stimulating attention an route to unveiling new insights and innovations :-) > But we have to be careful not to hype things too much, or we risk being tied into the 1980 AI hype space, and then nobody will listen anymore. I certainly don't have that in mind. The only tweak I would make is: s/Ninja/Jedi, since Star Wars and its underlying mythology remains a great source of anecdotal material to me when I try to explain what's happening across the WWW's many dimensions. > Perhaps a more scientific way to express this is within the language of self-organising systems. Every audience might not be scientifically inclined, at least not in an obvious way. Thus, as you can see, there isn't one way. We have to find and accommodate a plethora of narratives and associated anecdotes. > There is a lot of research there which is relevant to us. > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_organising_systems Nice find, that is certainly representative of what's happening.
