hyperslice |
Technique for categorizing and organizing concepts along binary dimensions |
some infinities are bigger than others, as are some kinds of "thing" gather examples, then gather slices, then organize slices
-
gather a bunch of random specific things: {while pile of things is too small, add one more thing that is as different as possible to every other thing in the pile}
-
we've got a pile of things that is not too small. {while list of binary categories is too small, slice the pile of things in half along a hyperdimension that is as different as possible to all the other hyperdimensional slices we've collected so far, label the new slice and each new heads/tails pile}
-
we've got a pile of binary slices that is not too small. Organize them. Rank them. etc
finally, produce a table of slices with columns: slice label, heads label, tails label, heads examples, tails examples
NOTE: when slicing, ensure every heads and every tails are pointing in a similar direction. e.g. heads = towards the past/things getting worse; tails = towards the future/things getting better
make it clear that each aspect in which the score goes up is clearly going up in a bad way. e.g. variety is not always good since too much leads to chaos. and certainty is not always good since too much leads to death, stagnation, inflexibility, etc
so you may need to tease apart some of these with different labels e.g. certainty = always good, freedom = always good, chaos = always bad, micro management / control freakishness = always bad, etc
