Thoughts Built Upon Thoughts. July 25, 2012. Many To Many Is Not Physical. Note: this backfills some of the supporting logic behind earlier entries – named, Many To Many Is Misunderstood. Back in the olden days, every library had something called a card catalog. You would go to the large wooden cabinet, pull out a thin wooden drawer, and look up a book. A card inside would give you a location in the library, and then you’d go to that section of the library to find your book. It can be argued that the car...

May all your sports dreams come true. Methods to the Madness. What remains is what we still can determine. A is still better than F and E, but isn't necessarily better than B anymore. B is still better than C and E. We can no longer determine anything about D as both its BeatWin to A and its BeatLoss from B have been removed. As the set of BeatLoops grows, the resolution must be done in steps to allow for the greatest amount of data to be preserved. Consider the following BeatLoops ( Fig 4a. With these t...

Many To Many Is Misunderstood : I Am Curt
http://iamcurt.com/many-to-many-is-misunderstood
Thoughts Built Upon Thoughts. Many To Many Is Misunderstood. This entry was backfilled by a later entry – Many To Many Is Not Physicial. 8211; to buttress its logic.). In Many To Many Has Utility. We talked about how Many To Many better represents how people think about things. Because of this, people have an instinctive bias towards Many To Many approaches. However, because our physical surroundings are so hierarchical, we can rapidly run into problems. Well, what if I want to update one of the files?

Many To Many Needs Advocacy : I Am Curt
http://iamcurt.com/many-to-many-needs-advocacy
Thoughts Built Upon Thoughts. Many To Many Needs Advocacy. By now, we have proven to ourselves that Many To Many Has Utility. We’ve demonstrated a need for Many To Many techniques to externalize our thoughts, because our thought categorizations are often multi-linked rather than hierarchical. And yet at the same time, we’ve also proven to ourselves that Many To Many Is Misunderstood. What can we conclude of this? Or is it a salad oil, to be stored near the vinegar? But what of the non-physical world?

http://iamcurt.com/hierarchies-are-overrated
Thoughts Built Upon Thoughts. I’ve always had a disorganized office. For me, it starts with the file cabinet, and that moment when I am holding a home escrow statement that is talking about my home insurance. Should I put it in my home insurance folder? What if I later have an escrow question? Will I remember where to look for it? At that point, I tend to give up and put the document on an unsorted pile, in some corner of my office. That’s basically what a hierarchy is. This is not how people think. ...

Many To Many Has Utility : I Am Curt
http://iamcurt.com/many-to-many-has-utility
Thoughts Built Upon Thoughts. Many To Many Has Utility. In Hierarchies Are Overrated. I noted how people don’t tend to think of things hierarchically. For example, I had difficulty choosing only one category for my home escrow statement. People tend to link concepts to other concepts in many directions. I might see someone as both a friend and a co-worker. Butter isn’t just a cooking ingredient; it’s also a bread spread. A recent photograph of mine could be labeled both holiday and family .
