thoughts on symbols

I once fed a machine symbols. The machine reacted to the symbols.
Are you looking for those symbols? You might understand their meaning better than I do. Try here. Or perhaps here.
But it has been a while since I fed machines in the way that I did—I wanted to learn more about the symbols themselves.
So, I’ve been busy studying their meanings and implications. Can their intent be improved? How do people interact with them? What problems can they solve? And what problems do they create? It’s certainly a strange mix of abstractions, processes, and tools.
Perhaps I’ll make this more interesting. Have some links for now:
