- I woke up today hungry to lay out all my frames/posts/etc
- and am struck by a sense of like... theorycraft midwork abounds, but what most people want to READ about is the stories, the examples, the visceral sense of it
- and I've not been that good at collecting examples, over these past years
- even ones I have recorded, of which I'm sure there are several, are not at all well-organized
- I could come out of today with a list of things I'd like examples of though!
- I notice that some things (in eg Sequence on NNTD) when I look at them I feel scared to write about them publicly
- maybe not quite scared, but daunted
- and maybe also that's a sign that I can't just start them by opening them and starting to write
- not with my current skill etc at writing
- I'm also noticing a desire to like... give more people in the LSA ecosystem access to my drafts
- they're so old! 5 years old! has the convo moved on?
- meanwhile the desire to move FORWARD on my coalitions writing which is new and fresh
- I'd also like to explore moving forward from "the NNTD framework"
- and I feel like publishing most of the old things that want to use that name would be a helpful way to do that
- (maybe some to /half-baked)
- and maybe it would be good to have a doc where I work on retiring the NNTD name, at least for certain things - maybe this can just be this roam-page for now
- I believe I will still want to use the phrases, without modification
- trust-dancing
- respecting distrusts
- trust dance moves
- although I haven't actually used this that much
- and I have these concepts that will need new handles (or to keep their original ones)
- non-naive trust (although even that is a mediocre name)
- non-forced trust
- non-laundered trust
- natural trust
- robust trust
- checksum'd trust
- earned trust
- "NNTD error" / "NNTD confusion"
- "NNTD insight"
- "NNTD framework"
- "NNTD as Malcolm's articulation of the meta-protocol"
- like it would be bad if I found myself just talking about the meta-protocol now, probably? or I'd have to be VERY strict with referring
- but also my own metaprotocol understanding has shifted (and is undergoing a massive shift re coalitions & faith) and "NNTD" is not particularly well-versioned
- "NNTD-complete"
- "MP-complete haha"
- "NNTD puzzle" - basically meta-protocol puzzle
- there are some relevant thoughts in the
- thinking about Moloch & The Creature that Eats Moloch and re-reading Meditations on Moloch and the bit towards the end about Elua (which is kind of the supercooperation cluster)
- and I'm like "hmm yeah some gods want to evolve into Elua (I think the judeochristian one very much does) and others might want to get included as part of the overall flow, but others' very nature (eg Moloch's) is essentially opposed
