However, agents rarely bother to thoroughly describe interactions, partly for these practical reasons: - -1. Agents, and many other complex _adaptive_ [systems](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/system.md), are closely related to [_regulation_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/regulate.md) _and_ [_repair_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/repair.md) __ [_systems_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/system.md) which [enable](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/enable.md) them to create [significant](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/significance.md) action _without_ deeply influencing their specific traits. (These regulating and repair systems may sometimes be distinguished as [subsystems](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/subsystem.md) or as external [_support_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/support.md) _systems_.) -2. Many interactions occur between elements of such vastly different [scales](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/scale.md) that it seems practically impossible-- and unimportant-- to identify significant changes in most of the interacting elements. For [example](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/example.md), it’s unimportant (to humans, so far) to identify the influence of an _accelerating_ automobile upon the _velocity_ of the Earth, which technically does have an “equal and opposite” _inertial_ reaction. Likewise, it’s unimportant to determine the _microscopic_ (tidal) influence of the moon’s gravity upon a puddle. - -On a closely related note, many _abundant_ and _easily_ [_accessed_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/access.md) resources, such as oxygen for respiration, are generally taken for granted ([assumed](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/assume.md) and ignored) by most if not all agents within specific contexts. diff --git a/readme/terms/active.md b/readme/terms/active.md deleted file mode 100644 index 13a573509..000000000 --- a/readme/terms/active.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,11 +0,0 @@ -# active - -**Definitions** - -An _active_ (or actual) [element](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/element.md) is a [_potential_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/potential.md) _and_ [_present_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/presence.md) element which [_functions_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/function.md) _within a_ [_specific_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/specific.md) __ [_period_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/period.md). - -_To activate_ is _to turn a potential element into an active element_. - -**Notes** - -Active elements may or may _not_ [create](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/create.md) [action](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/act.md) within any specific [parameters](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/parameter.md) within their context of potential [activity](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/activity.md). diff --git a/readme/terms/activity.md b/readme/terms/activity.md deleted file mode 100644 index dfc1a414a..000000000 --- a/readme/terms/activity.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,21 +0,0 @@ -# activity - -**Definition** - -_Activity_ is _a_ [_specific_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/specific.md) __ [_type_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/type.md) _of_ [_action_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/act.md). - -**Specialized Definition** - -[Agents](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/agent.md) often [use](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/use.md) the [term](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/term.md) _activity_ to [represent](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/represent.md) [_socially_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/social.md) __ [_shared_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/new/master/terms/common.md) __ [_events_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/event.md). - -**Notes** - -Because an activity is a _type of action_, it may include many [variable](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/variable.md) [instances](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/instance.md) which meet the [definition](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/define.md) of that type.

For example, an identifiably shaped gust (four dimensional waveform) of wind could last a few seconds. However, fluid forms also can [endure](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/endure.md) indefinitely if sustained by [repeated](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/repeat.md) [inputs](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/input.md) of energy. For example, a stretch of rapids on a river, or an oceanic whirlpool, could last for decades or centuries. - -Solid forms can also last briefly. For example, a snowflake could melt a few seconds after landing on a warm surface. However, solid forms can last long periods in the absence of intensely or persistently creative/destructive energy. For example, a mountain could endure (while slowly eroding) for millions of years. - -Conceptual forms often can have analogies to physical _solidity_ and _fluidity_. - -**Forms often** [_**function**_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/function.md) **as elements** in large-[scope](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/scope.md) models (or [overviews](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/overview.md)) with low levels of detail.

A framework is, technically, a component itself; it’s a component which provides “[connective](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/connect.md) tissue” (and, often, creates connective [issues](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/issue.md).) - -Frameworks can be used to develop many [types](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/type.md) of [systems](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/system.md) and [resources](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/resource.md). - -A framework can [function](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/function.md) as the basis of a [recipe](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/recipe.md). - -It’s often unnecessary and undesirable to [design](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/design.md) or [describe](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/describe.md) a framework for a small system of components which are directly connected to each other, or are very simply connected via unspecialized [mediums](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/media.md) or [channels](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/channel.md). However, most science and engineering--and much other design work, too-- is implicitly based on designing or describing a framework of reasonably well-defined components, interfaces and connectors (mediums, links or channels). This is the standard, tried-and-true way of designing or describing highly complex and specialized structures, whether with strictly separated machine parts or the fluids, membranes and biochemistry of organisms. - -**Related Terms** - -[_template_](template.md): Templates are often frameworks. However, templates don't necessarily include frames, so they're not always frameworks. Frameworks aren't necessarily templates, but they often include templates and can be templates.

The cat and the food are interacting elements within a relatively clear and compact scope from a human perspective, although that scope would be ineffably immense to a dust mite. Likewise, scientists may determine that a specific black hole is consuming a specific star. The black hole and the star are interacting elements, but their interaction occurs within an immensely larger scope than the cat and the food, because these interacting elements contain intense forces which act continuously and predictably over great distances. Such large-scale intensity and predictability is not the case with most interacting elements at typical scales of human experience. - -Most physical interactions are extremely [localized](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/localize.md) _because of_ the _attenuation_ of interacting forces, which insulates the [active](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/active.md) elements from most other [potentially](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/potential.md) interactive elements.

Such semi-autonomous design work is often performed separately from, but in dialogue with, any further modification of the extension’s base model. The semi-autonomous design can occur directly within the resource description-- and thus, with the same stewards-- or via linked extension documents. Extension resources can potentially be governed by different stewards than their base, but in clearly-governed models, extensions must be governed in formal relationship to the base’s governance. Often, they will be governed by either the exact same stewards as the base, or by people whom those stewards have officially (but provisionally) delegated authority to. By contrast, extensions can be governed more autonomously in systems which provide clear and practically useful specifications for components; this facilitates effective modular design and, when desired, open-source development of (and access to) resources. diff --git a/readme/terms/level-of-detail.md b/readme/terms/level-of-detail.md deleted file mode 100644 index e16131a2c..000000000 --- a/readme/terms/level-of-detail.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,17 +0,0 @@ -# level-of-detail - -**Definition** - -Level of detail is a [dimensional variable](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/dimensional-variable.md) which [represents](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/represent.md) _how much of the_ [_complexity_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/complexity.md) _in a_ [_form_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/form.md) _has been_ [_described_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/describe.md) in a [specific](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/specific.md) [context](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/context.md). - -**Notes** - -Level of detail often [especially](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/specialize.md) refers to descriptions which _are_ [_models_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/model.md). - -The dimensional variability of level of detail is often described [simply](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/simplicity.md) and [generically](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/generic.md) with a few [relational traits](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/relational-trait.md) such as _lower_ and _higher_. - -Models which describe _higher_ [_hierarchical_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/hierarchy.md) __ [_levels_](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/level.md) often describe their lower levels of organization with a lower level of detail.

However, agents rarely bother to thoroughly describe interactions, partly for these practical reasons: + +1.

Many interactions occur between elements of such vastly different [scales](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/scale.md) that it seems practically impossible-- and unimportant-- to identify significant changes in most of the interacting elements. For [example](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/example.md), it’s unimportant (to humans, so far) to identify the influence of an *accelerating* automobile upon the *velocity* of the Earth, which technically does have an “equal and opposite” *inertial* reaction.

(For example, each skin cell is a component in the skin of an animal.) Likewise, each component may or may not be [governed](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/govern.md) by any [agents](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/agent.md) or [forces](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/force.md) which govern the system (or systems!) which it functions within. (Governance is a subject in which [mental](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/mental.md) and [social](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/social.md) [organization](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/organize.md) is more akin to ecology than biology. The organisms in an [ecosystem](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/ecosystem.md) [influence](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/influence.md) each other deeply, but are rarely governed by each other; by contrast, biological cells and organs are always governed by a specific organism.) + +In [designed](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/design.md) systems, the function(s) provided by each component may be either [required](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/require.md) or [recommended](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/recommend.md) by designers or governers. + +The relationships between components may [develop](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/develop.md) through direct [interfaces](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/interface.md) or via [connectors](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/connect.md) ([mediums](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/media.md), [links](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/link.md) or [channels](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/channel.md)). Connectors are also systemic components, and should be defined as such unless it’s practical to ignore them because they’re so [generic](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/generic.md) or ubiquitous. (For example, we often safely assume that air is present to transmit sound.) If special connectors are identified, the components which they connect are [networking](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/network.md) [nodes](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/node.md). + +#### Examples + +1.

Depending on our personality, we might assign more or less “default credibility” to the general claims of strangers.

+ +#### Notes + +*(placeholder notes)* Levels of design are hierarchical levels which are created (implicitly or explicitly) whenever a component of any model develops a sufficiently strict and stable definition to enable semi-autonomous development of that component as an extension. Such semi-autonomous design work is often performed separately from, but in dialogue with, any further modification of the extension’s base model. The semi-autonomous design can occur directly within the resource description-- and thus, with the same stewards-- or via linked extension documents. Extension resources can potentially be governed by different stewards than their base, but in clearly-governed models, extensions must be governed in formal relationship to the base’s governance. Often, they will be governed by either the exact same stewards as the base, or by people whom those stewards have officially (but provisionally) delegated authority to. By contrast, extensions can be governed more autonomously in systems which provide clear and practically useful specifications for components; this facilitates effective modular design and, when desired, open-source development of (and access to) resources. diff --git a/terms/level-of-detail.md b/terms/level-of-detail.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b6320655c --- /dev/null +++ b/terms/level-of-detail.md @@ -0,0 +1,15 @@ +#### Definition + +Level of detail is a [dimensional variable](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/dimensional-variable.md) which [represents](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/represent.md) *how much of the [complexity](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/complexity.md) in a [form](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/form.md) has been [described](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/describe.md)* in a [specific](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/specific.md) [context](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/context.md). + +#### Notes + +Level of detail often [especially](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/specialize.md) refers to descriptions which *are [models](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/model.md)*. + +The dimensional variability of level of detail is often described [simply](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/simplicity.md) and [generically](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/generic.md) with a few [relational traits](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/relational-trait.md) such as *lower* and *higher*. + +Models which describe *higher [hierarchical](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/hierarchy.md) [levels](https://github.com/gcassel/Modular-Organization-Terminology/blob/master/terms/level.md)* often describe their lower levels of organization with a lower level of detail.

In all likelihood, it would be an extremely unrealistic waste of time to ambitiously try to calculate a specific probability of fatality, even if I applied a broad standard deviation to the number I generated. I'm probably just going to stay away from that cliff edge. + +**It's only rational to calculate probabilities when our intuitions, and/or qualitative analyses, fail to clearly suggest which decisions
