Stigmergy

Stigmergy
Kind people have stigmergically translated this article into German, French, and Spanish. This article is part of a series now incorporated into : ‘Binding Chaos’. Stigmergy is a mechanism of indirect coordination between agents or actions. A personality based system can never allow for mass collaboration on a global scale without representation such as that seen in organizations like the United Nations. Currently, the typical response to a situation which requires an action is to create a noun, in the form of a committee, commission, organization, corporation, ngo, government body, etc. Most systems are now run by competitive organizations. The alternative to competition has traditionally been cooperation. Cooperation and consensus based systems are usually dominated by extroverted personalities who make decisions to control the work of others and are justly resented by those doing the actual work.

Du Tag au Like: La pratique des folksonomies pour améliorer ses méthodes d ... - Olivier Le Deuff - Google Books PKM in 2013 “The basic unit of social business technology is personal knowledge management, not collaborative workspaces.” - Thierry de Baillon Personal knowledge management (PKM) is a set of processes, individually constructed, to help each of us make sense of our world and work more effectively. But what we loosely call knowledge, using terms like knowledge-sharing or knowledge capture, is often just an approximation. Knowledge When we use our knowledge to describe some data, such as what we remember from an experience or our summary of a book, we convey this knowledge by creating information, even though writing it down is not perfect. Becoming knowledgeable can be thought of as bits of knowledge partially shared and experienced over time. Seek : Sense : Share Capturing knowledge, as crudely as we do, is just a first step. Seeking is finding things out and keeping up to date. Sensing is how we personalize information and use it. Innovation PKM may be an individual activity but it is also social.

Stigmergic self-organization and the improvisation of Ushahidi | manwithoutqualities Here are some excerpts from Janet’s fascinating paper. In late 2007 in Kenya, US educated Kenyan journalist Ory Okolloh had become one of the main sources of information about the election and the violence that broke out soon after. Because of the government‟s ban on live reporting and censorship of the mainstream media, Okolloh solicited information about incidents of violence from ordinary people in the form of comments posted on her personal blog. Following the events in Kenya, Humanity United, a non-profit organization dedicated to ending modern slavery and mass atrocities, offered to fund redevelopment of Ushahidi as a broadly available platform for collecting and visualizing information. A study of the evolution of the Ushahidi software presents strong evidence of cognitive stigmergy at two levels. Like this: Like Loading...

COLLECTIVE INTELLIGENCE It's also possible for groups of people to work together in ways that seem pretty stupid, and I think collective stupidity is just as possible as collective intelligence. Part of what I want to understand and part of what the people I'm working with want to understand is what are the conditions that lead to collective intelligence rather than collective stupidity. But in whatever form, either intelligence or stupidity, this collective behavior has existed for a long time. What's new, though, is a new kind of collective intelligence enabled by the Internet. Or think of Wikipedia, where thousands of people all over the world have collectively created a very large and amazingly high quality intellectual product with almost no centralized control. If we want to predict what's going to happen, especially if we want to be able to take advantage of what's going to happen, we need to understand those possibilities at a much deeper level than we do so far. Why are we doing all this work?

www.freeanons.info La stigmergie: un nouveau modèle de gouvernance collaborative Si le modèle concurrentiel crée des redondances et gâche des ressources sur la protection des idées, la publicité et autre, le modèle coopératif gâche beaucoup de temps et de ressources à discuter et à discuter les discussions. Entre ces deux modèles, la stigmergie, une nouvelle méthode de gouvernance inspirée du mode d’organisation des insectes sociaux, pourrait offrir un modèle alternatif plus adapté à la collaboration dans des grands groupes. C’est quoi la stigmergie ? Définition de la stigmergie par Wikipédia : Application du modèle stigmergique aux organisations La théoricienne Heather Marsh a écrit un article remarquable sur l’application de principes issus de la stigmergie à la collaboration dans des grands groupes et comme une méthode de gouvernance alternative à mi-chemin entre les organisations fonctionnant sur un modèle de compétition celles fonctionnant sur un modèle de coopération. Voici une copie de l’article traduit. Stigmergie Le problème des organisations actuelles Nœuds

Cognitive Blindness in Emergency Services How to Change or Spoof MAC Address in Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003/2008, Mac OS X, Unix and Linux MAC address (Media Access Control address) is a quasi-unique identifier consists of a six byte number that attached to most network adapter card or network interface card (NIC). As such, all network cards, whether it’s of Ethernet NIC, Gigabit Ethernet NIC or wireless 802.11a/b/g/n WiFi or HiperLAN adapter, should have different MAC addresses, which also known as Ethernet Hardware Address (EHA) or adapter address. In operating system, MAC address is often represented in 12-digit hexadecimal number. For example, 1A-2B-3C-4D-5E-6F. There are many reasons or possibilities that an user may want to change the MAC address or a network adapter, which also known as MAC spoofing. Beside, hackers or enthusiasts also spoofing another host’s MAC address as their own in order to receive traffic packets not meant for them, although ARP poisoning technique is more commonly used. Change the MAC address in Windows Go to Start -> Control Panel. Change the MAC Address of NIC in Windows via Registry or

The Desktop Regulatory State The Age of the Graph Virtually everywhere one looks we are in the midst of a transition for how we organize and manage information, indeed even relationships. Social networks and online communities are changing how we live and interact. NoSQL and graph databases — married to their near cousin Big Data — are changing how we organize and store information and data. Semantic technologies, backed by their ontologies and RDF data model, are showing the way for how we can connect and interoperate disparate information in ways only dreamed about a decade ago. And all of this, of course, is being built upon the infrastructure of the Internet and the Web, a global, distributed network of devices and information that is undoubtedly one of the most important technological developments in human history. There is a shared structure across all of these developments — the graph. Graphs as a Concept The use of “graph” as a mathematical concept is not much more than 100 years old. The Theory of Graphs
