For a pic...

3-sphere
In mathematics, a 3-sphere (also called a glome) is a higher-dimensional analogue of a sphere. It consists of the set of points equidistant from a fixed central point in 4-dimensional Euclidean space. Just as an ordinary sphere (or 2-sphere) is a two-dimensional surfacethat forms the boundary of a ball in three dimensions, a 3-sphere is an object with three dimensions that forms the boundary of a ball in four dimensions. A 3-sphere is an example of a 3-manifold.

The images at the link, visualize the notion of nested spheres. More importantly they point to the maths needed to create those kinds of pictures and link them to nemetic code.  Once we settle on the maths, someone can engineer the programs for a visualization management tool for learning environments.

Notes for the #nemetichapter



Noticed call for proposals from Neus on Twitter. Sept 1? ( needs confirmation.)

The nemetician team was pulled together on twitter. The collaboration moved to G+, Gdocs, and continued on twitter. The proposal was submitted on September 4. The same day our team received this:

Thank you for submitting your chapter proposal, "Transmedia and Transliteracy in Nemetical Analysis," for the upcoming book, "Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology." After reviewing your recent proposal, I believe the topic of your proposed chapter is consistent with the theme of this book and could make a significant contribution to this project. I therefore encourage you to begin preparing your full article and submit a copy before Thursday, October 15, 2015 at the following URL:

The power of transmedia is to make collaboration on even serious academic documents simple with almost no strain. No meetings. No phone calls. No schedules. Everyone works in their personal Time. Inserts into any number of places. Goes away and waits for a response. Asynchronous time is the secret sauce of transmedia.  With practice of the nemetic stance, managing the complexity of transmedia social networks becomes ezpz.

I use "ezpz" as a way to communicate the reality that Transmedia is about making collaboration on academic research documents fluid, easy and very very fast.  For the Twitterverse, we use ezpz - The Nemetic Way. Our theory and practice says that if and only if we use the phrase appropriately to twitter it will eventually trigger some interest. Once it triggers interest in the form of a RT or a direct @, it is evidence the flow has begun.  The next step is to exchange. But exchange can only work if it is appropriate to the culture of the conversation itself.

In nemetic code,  neme exchange with one person creates a string. Neme exchange with two other people in the same tweet creates a nTube. With persistence and a pattern of exchange the nTube will grow. When it reaches critical threshold the nStrings ( network ) can take a non linear leap to a more robust state.

C.Aug10.1

Imagine this chart turned 90 degrees to the right. The child is the trunk. The path spreads out like branches and leaves.



The link to the original coggle file https://coggle.it/diagram/53e78c65ff2d87af5602891b/36d66d99bb66ce915044e5a39232ef5d85a78ce5526be9b698322ff936715599

The challenge is to create a visual for the complex path for each individual child. It might be used in conjunction with the tracking sheet.  I'm seeing a map. At every stage progress is another place on the map. Once we turn it 90degrees, it sill show increasing complexity of what reading might look like.

CoogleExp 1.2

A sketch of a look at the complexity  that we call the education system.




If this is a not legible you can click on the image for a larger verson, or you can scroll through the sketch at 

The idea is the green lines are the Gwave in nemetic code which are also referred to as the Meso level. Events happen in the Gwave.  

The blue lines are the Bwave in nemetic code also referred to the Macro level. In the three wave entanglement Bwaves can interpreted as constraints or Inhibitory Energy. 

The red lines are the Rwave in nemetic code also referred to the Micro level. In the RGB wave metaphor, the Rwave is the source of Excitatory Energy.

To try to clarify a bit. The Rwave is where real life happens. That is the level on which all of us can manifest energy. The Bwave could be a culture or mindset that indicates what is wrong or right to do. The Bwave could also be the rules and regulations within which the Agent behaves.

For example, in this version what we are centering on is the student in the Gwave. The Teacher in the Bwave. And Peer groups in the Rwave. The idea is to create conditions of emergent learning for the student, one should look one level up - teachers and one level down - peer group.  

Please remember this is merely the first of what I feel will be lots more fine tuning. I appreciate any help I can get from my educator friends.

Coggle.1.1

Above is a first experiment with Coggle. Thank you +Colin Kilburn for the push..

Given that the structure is based on nemetics which is a context agnostic taxonomy, my conjecture is a diagram of this general format can be used for Seeing any "wicked problem" in any complex system.  The point is not to "explain" the dynamics. Rather it is to know where to look and to put what you see within a framework that one can look closer. It's only from a closer look that the "solution" will emerge.
