Njournal Notes 14.5 Applied Nemetic Math

Stumbling towards nemetic maths. The value of mathematics is to focus what we see.


In  post NJournal Notes 14.4,  I suggested a math to helps us focus on what we see in complex adaptive systems. In this Note I suggest a modification. to

I=CNxk

Let:

“ I “ = Intent.
“ C ” = Constraints.

“ Nx “ = Neme Exchange

" k " = is an exponential function. In any organization a common intent creates agile coherence. No matter what the challenges and opportunities agility is required to respond fast enough to make a difference. An intent is different from a goal. In complexity a goal is, by nature, ever changing as the circumstances are always changing. A common Intent are a set of values that allow one to navigate through changing circumstance. A common intent minimizes the costs of compliance used in a top down management style. Mission statements and visions from the top sometimes increase Intent, but just as often decrease trust in managers and leaders. So the desired state of affairs is to take advantage of the fact that Intent is an emergent property. Neme exchange is communication sent, received and resent. To create value , it is the Exchange from one to another back to one that makes the difference. A neme sent that is not exchange can create more mistrust than no sending at all. The frequency of neme exchange increases the number and strength of small networks. Small networks are defined as having the minimum number of steps between any node and any other node. When there are direct connections between nodes, the small networks are at their most efficient. It is well understood that the knowledge creation of a network increases exponentially based on the number of nodes. Constraints channel or block nemetic flow. For the agile coherent organization, nemetic flow must be channel, not a blockage. How to Measure? 
Nemetic flow is the easiest, the frequency and pattern of nemetic flow. From a study of brain function. "technique measures neural activity via blood flow in the brain while people are awake and mentally active. We calculated a “functional connectivity profile” for each person based on their individual patterns of synchronized activity between different parts of the brain."   My conjecture is that we can create a "functional connectivity profile for any organization.
For further research how to measure Constraints and Intent.

Njournal 14.4 Towards Nemetical Mathematics

As we stumble along to come up with a simple equation for Nemetic reality, I offer for consideration the following.

I=CN2

“ I “ = Intent.
“ C ” = Constraints.

“ N “ = Neme

The 2 is in the superscript to capture the non linear nature of the relationships.

Neme is a fractal in that an nString, nTube or nCell are nemes when viewed from a different level.  A string, tube or cell can also be measured on the ruler of frequency and amplitude of neme exchanges.

Intent is an emergent property of Constraints and an exponential function of nemetic vibration. Intent acts to augment the signals emitted by a neme.

Still missing are measures of Intent and Constraints.

Njournal 14.3 Towards a Nemetic Math

Let:

I = Intent  

n  =  neme 

nSt = nStrings connect Nemes.
nTu = nTube coherent bundles of strings.
nCl = nCell coherent bundle of tubes. The bundle is bounded by a woven membrane of strings and tubes.

nPx = Nemiplexity a complex adaptive system which has been articulated as strings, tubes, cells.

Nemes are nested in Strings which are nested in Tubes which are nested in Cells. Written as

n@nSt@nTu@nCl@nPlx  

Any nemPlexity becomes a neme when observed from outside. It remains a nemPlexity when viewed from the inside.

Version 3.0 of the fundamental theorem is

ΔI = f (nk )

The conjecture is the value of k and function f differ significantly in specific Contexts. Below are 8 of the many possible spectrums that specify a Context.  If the spectrums are divided to define discrete variables,  the result is matrix of possibilities. The number of cells in such a matrix defines 86,400 possible Contexts.

1. Urban v suburban v small city v rural
2. Baby boomers v  Gen X v Millennials v Gen Z.
3. Native Born v Foreign Born
4. Catholic v Protestant v Muslim v Jewish v Asian v Secularist
5. Caucasian v American Black v  Latin v Asians v Native People
6. Male v Female v LGBT
7. Very rich, rich, median, poor, very poor.
8. North East v Midwest v South v Middle States v West v West Coast

Nemes (nemiPlexities) that define the Nemplexity of US Politics.

Democratic Party v Republican Party

Republican Party (Tea Party v Populist v Establishment )

Democratic Party ( Liberal v Populist v Establishment )

Independents ( Non Active politically v Active Politically)

Business and Non profits.

Extractive Global Organization vs Global Customer Facing vs Global Internet Org  vs Domestic Large Org v Small Org v Micro Org.

Njournal 14.2 Towards a Nemetic Math

X is measured by number of nemes exchanging and the speed and frequency of exchange.
x = nemes
X is number of nemes in the situation. X^n = nString
n is a function of exchanges between nemes.

X^i = ntube
i is a function of exchanges between strings.
Y^j = constraints
Y is measured by flexible or rigid. 
j is a function of loose or tight.

Z^k = nemplexity
Z is measured by turbulence - smoothness 
k is a function of measures of complexity.

So something like
X + mX^n + kX^i + rY^j - qZ^k =0

In sociology, all of the functions are related to demography, speed and reach of exchange. Since strings and tubes can be seen as nemes from a different level it could capture the nemePlexity of the system.

NJournal 16.0 Transmedia: A millennial's point of view.

I recently had the opportunity to work with an undergraduate class in a project based learning context. The idea was to create a vibrant conversation on the Internet. I didn't work. I made the error of giving them a choice of the platforms I prefer, instead of the platforms they use. To make matters worse, I did not understand how they use the different platforms.

I have to learn transliteracy. Millennials use it as a matter of course.  The next attempt at the same kind of work will take what I have learned and change myself while I am trying to change the students.

From failure comes learning. ( As long as you don't have to worry about getting a grade.


A Teenager’s View on Social Media — Backchannel — Medium http://bit.ly/1nW3PXH

Excerpts:

Facebook

In short, many have nailed this on the head. It’s dead to us. Facebook is something we all got in middle school because it was cool but now is seen as an awkward family dinner party we can't really leave.

. . . That being said, if you don't have Facebook, that’s even more weird and annoying.

Instagram

Instagram is by far the most used social media outlet for my age group. Please note the verbiage there—it is the most used social media outlet. Meaning, although the most people are on Facebook, we actually post stuff on Instagram. 

Twitter

To be honest, a lot of us simply do not understand the point of Twitter. There is always a core group at every school that uses it very religiously to tweet and another group that uses it to simply watch or retweet, but besides that many don't use it

Snapchat

Snapchat is quickly becoming the most used social media network, especially with the advent of My Story

Tumblr

Remember in the section on Twitter I said, “Twitter is also a place to follow/be followed by a bunch of random strangers, yet still have your identity be attached to it”? Tumblr is a place to follow/be followed by a bunch of random strangers, yet not have your identity be attached to it. 

Yik Yak

Yik Yak is a rather new contender, however, a ton of friends in college have the application.

Medium

Many of my peers look for platforms to begin a writing blog that they can share with their friends and family. When I hear my friends say this, they automatically think of creating a WordPress site. For some reason, Wordpress seems like the more “sophisticated” website to begin a blog. Others who have had experience with Tumblr will choose to open up a separate blog on there, one that is not connected to their “personal” blog on the platform.

However, once I have introduced Medium to those my age, I have never seen them turn back in terms of a platform to publish a blog.
