Wild Computing
- Taking control
- information loop
- 1 - Human interaction, info to info
- 2 - Decontextualisation, superflous meaning removed
- Info becomes data
- 3 - Computer to computer interaction, data to other data
- 4 - contextualisation, computer to human, data to info
- rule-based systems
- order
- emergent chaos possible
- CURRENCY of computing
- interaction is between agents
- interaction = meaningful action
- currency = basis of interaction
- pulses as cash
- or information
- weather forecast
- STORED WEALTH
- data
- IP address
- Should we exchange data/info
- Exchange between each other with rules
- Humans exchange info
- Computers exchange data
- human/computer exhange data/info
- SEE INFORMATION LOOP
- Agents
- Act for another
- Autonomy
- self-governing
- unlike thrown ball
- Own principles
- Identity
- distinguishes from others
- Is constant over time
- Humans
- Autonomy
- identity
- purposeful action
- computer
- Computers
- from purposeful action of humans
- data to info
- autonomous when interact on our behalf
- IP address is identity
- Interactions
- Human computer
- computer human
- computer computer
- Human human
- Assigning responsibility
- Original purpose
- Only human
- Problems
- Wildness
- Unpredictable
- Unintended
- ethical and unethical use
- Just can say one responsible sometimes
- Computers can't act IRRESPONSIBLY
- Delegation and trust
- will delegate when there's trust
- will trust when predictable
- trust
- complex relationship
- can be forced t trust
- Terms
- Program trading
- system
- Parts act together
- Objective
- Wildness
- Characteristics
- Unpredictable
- Few rules
- Irrational
- Uncontrollable
- Examples
- virus
- spam
- robots
- Interacting with each other
- Artificial neural networks
- Brain programs
- Game of life
- internet
- Computing in the Tame
- Programming
- making instructions
- Universal machines
- specialise after instructions
- universal computer
- can simulate any other
- reliability
- same over time
- trust
- can be misplaced
- can't be guarenteed
- Reach
- Space
- Context
- where and when
- Computers explore space
- Computers create space
- hard drive
- Time
- Context
- Where and when
- utc
- gmt in winter
- Internet time
- No zones
- Perception
- what happens
- What and how
- Info of environment through senses
- Proprioception
- Internal info of body
- Technology can enhance, reach
- Force feedback
- Action
- What happens
- What and how
- aided
- Compass to draw circle
- Unaided
- circle in sand
- Surrender control
- trust
- Autonomous
- eg pacemaker
- perceive world in time and space to act
- Losing control
- Wildness can emerge from tame computing
- bird flock
- leaderless
- DECENTRALISED
- boids
- simulation
- keep apart
- keep together
- matched velocity
- system
- component parts
- goal
- Emergent whole
- no goal
- unintended goal
- in nature, reproduction/survival
- understand via parts AND their interaction
- So very unpredictable
- Internet is emergent wildness
- More predicable than nature
- based on info
- starts and ends with humans
- Humans a source of wildness in computing
- can't eliminate as computing based on human/computer interaction
- Emergence
- Interaction of components
- irrationality
- unpredictability
- Uncontrollability
- Information loop
- 1 - info to info
- 2 - info to data
- 3- data to data
- 4 - data to info
- so computers enhance access to info but can run wild and need to be managed
