a looking-glass book

i remember that i saw the presentation of the guy who did 'the brain' several years ago when he came to japan. i felt that although the program has great potential, it is not enough as a semantic database. instead what i am interested in is pseudo-quantification of events/experience. I am really interested in how people interpret results of symbolical manupulation of description of events/experiences quantified. the reason why i said 'pseudo-quantification' is that the process of quantification doesn't necesarily have to be exact/objective. i have to make the idea more concrete. to do that, i have been thinking to do demonstration. i want to discuss with somebody who likes doing research more than eating meal and eager on exposing one's thought to the world outside of the comfortable school environment.

tatsu - as long as i have time, i am interested in research and creating some experiments. i know you arent going to be around this summer (but if we have an opportunity over the summer or as research next year, lets look at it).

as far as 'the brain' - i admit its a start. and its bulkier than i want it to be. and it isnt automated, nor is it multi-user.

those are the 2 attributes i am really interested in right now. and i think your goal of 'pseudo-quantification' doesnt go against what interests me. the 'p-q' you are looking for isn't mutually exclusive to what i am interested in. in fact, most social networks would require some level of agreed on 'p-q' to define themselves.
