You are right. Imindi is a very exciting one. I do wish its success because its potential is unbelievable. Very rare we may find such a product. Only thing I regret is that I do not have much money to invest it myself either. :-(<BR/><BR/>best,<BR/><BR/>YihongYihong Dinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410466834942147505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360257.post-39315393845060108602009-03-05T23:15:00.000-05:002009-03-05T23:15:00.000-05:00My first thought: outside the nine dots.

Maybe "how many rabbits went down this trail?" Really interesting fresh application of implicit info married to explicit - or is it metadata?<BR/>Very exciting stuff. I assume much more than shorthand because the fragments are connected as a network, not linearly? <BR/>Could be very helpful in streamlining the information gathering process as well as analysis.<BR/>How can one follow developments?<BR/>2 snaps in a circle, wish I had investment $ left.Restitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17569919882244415334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360257.post-21522115626982222502008-09-14T23:19:00.000-04:002008-09-14T23:19:00.000-04:00thank you, gregory.

At the moment, you may have a better evaluation of the service.<BR/><BR/>cheers,<BR/><BR/>YihongYihong Dinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08410466834942147505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360257.post-47620490342131288792008-09-14T18:14:00.000-04:002008-09-14T18:14:00.000-04:00first, "embodying thinking" as a phrase ... i take...first, "embodying thinking" as a phrase ... i take this to mean that it reinforces the structuring of abstract thought into language in such a way that it reveals linguistic connections. it might reveal connections that were not apparent between groups of ideas in language.<BR/><BR/>crystallized thoughts/memes. in sanskrit they were/are called sutras. very short aphorisms that contain thought in seed form. extremely sophisticated ideas can be strung together using simple sutras.<BR/><BR/>imindi seems to also add a graphical shape component, a spatial arrangement of ideas. in this it reminds me of two things for which it could be a precursor. ideograms, and sacred geometry. there does seem to be a near-decorative compnent to the ways they are used. like a crop circle.<BR/><BR/>and machine-readable.<BR/><BR/>but...<BR/><BR/>the no-mind state of zen, which exists prior to verbalized thought, can go directly from pure awareness to idea, bypassing words, which are only employed later in the expression of the idea. a yogi might find imindi to be a cumbersome middle step that is not required..<BR/><BR/>i write these thoughts having never seen the product .. <BR/><BR/>even with yihong's post, the story of imindi is not being told in a way that gets it. my first phrase would be, "a shorthand writing system for ideas" ... but i know nothing. yet.<BR/><BR/>enjoy, gregory lentgregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408369948377761936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35360257.post-78373237579706049282008-09-11T06:54:00.000-04:002008-09-11T06:54:00.000-04:00that stage killed no one, it was a very necessary ...that stage killed no one, it was a very necessary learning experience.gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14408369948377761936noreply@blogger.com
