- reduce the complexity from duplication, and highlight returns to topics/resources
- be a 'sink' to relieve the strain on my computer/myself of the constant buildup of untriaged materials
- share unprocessed items across devices
- (heuristic triage) suggested views of unsorted material based on proximity to existing collection
This project is developed around the idea of nats, and also of permutations
- through an alphabetisation (or "lexicographically ordering permutation" if you prefer), the nat morphed into the ant 💭
The natural unit of information (symbol nat), is a unit of information or entropy, based on natural logarithms and powers of e, rather than the powers of 2 and base 2 logarithms, which define the bit. This unit is also known by its unit symbol, the nat. The nat is the natural unit for information entropy. Physical systems of natural units that normalize Boltzmann's constant to 1 are effectively measuring thermodynamic entropy in nats.
When the Shannon entropy is written using a natural logarithm,
it is implicitly giving a number measured in nats.

Where conventional programming was thought of as a sequence of steps, this new thing was no longer sequential in effect:
When you made a change in one place, all other things changed instantly and automatically.

An alphabetising colony Stigmergy is a powerful tool to analyse processes that involve agents who learn. It can be used to model biological systems, both at their conscious and evolutionary levels of knowledge flow (e.g. swarm intelligence models are used to profile and predict biological 'SLiM' sequence motifs1), but it can motivate a rethinking of our own information retrieval processes. In this illustration: a self-conjugate partition (from a consideration of chain/antichains from permutation-partition pairs2).

2 Stahl (1991) Permutation-partition pairs. III. Embedding distributions of linear families of graphs
Introduces the notion of the permutation-partition pair, "generalizations of graphs and are the formalization of the concept of a graph with a partially specified embedding."
the distributions of graphs that, loosely speaking, consist of a chain of links that are joined to each other in a consistent manner. It is reasonable to expect that the genus distribution of such a chain should be a function of its length and the genus distribution of the link.
