Short of constant readings from sensors (to be defined, for now consider the nose) embedded in the evaluator's body, we need (and do have now) mechanisms, of which using the web for polling, technical analysis of a market, or political polls are examples.
That some techniques, such as bet2give, remove the aspect of greed may be of interest.
Of course, some types of registers (like we see with weather [temperature]) will be founded upon our knowledge obtained through science and applied through engineering. Others will be more of a 'map' flavor, yet tied to human-based assessment.
That could bring up a question of how what's suggested may differ from the operational processes of mathematics, with its long history of continuous improvements and observed effectiveness.
But, it is still unsettled how all this ability to handle and to use abstractions came to fore, works, seems persistent, and such. Using the nose metaphor might provide a starting point.
You see, the emphasis on elegance and beauty doesn't account for something that may very well have a value to be considered, the skunk (metaphorically, of course).
Let me just put out two slogans, there will be more.
- Slogan 1: 'truth' is not known at the limits of abstraction; rather, 'truth' is found in reality. Thanks to Joel Orr.
- Slogan 2: Why differentiate when you can integrate? JMS
Remarks:
05/28/2011 -- Later concepts: Turing space, map/territory, and avatars.
04/19/2011 -- We have to get back to the basics.
11/21/2010 -- Three years ago, it was said: Computational foci raise miraculous need. Still applies.
09/09/2009 -- We'll need to look at UUUN, as a framework.
08/18/2009 -- Applies for both macro and micro views.
07/05/2009 -- It's taken awhile, but this message is becoming more apropos all the time.
12/18/2008 -- Well, things really fell apart in the 3rd Quarter of 2008. Factors include the players and the games. Now, games include using mathematics erroneously, as in getting an aura from the use of derivatives (to be discussed further). So, we'll have to re-address this map/territory issue.
08/01/2008 -- Actually, we have the perfect domain for discussing this issue which covers a gamut in its roles and is of phenomenal importance, namely money and what it can represent, as well as how it ought to do its representation. Especially is this so in that the modern financial realm has been engineered to the max with outcomes that are obviously apparent in their undesirability.
