Paul Sutton (zleap)Interesting that the group 4 elements on the @compoundchem infographic
Carbon, Silicon etc, whereas Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_4_element
Suggests group 4 is Titanium, Zirconium, Most periodic tables are group 1,2 on the left, then there is a jump over the transition to group 3, Boron, Aluminium, Transition elements are numbered IIIB, IVB (which wikipedia lists as group 4) 2nd group of the transition elements.
So which is correct here, or does it depend on the periodic table you are looking at?

🇨🇦Hey everyone, remember that project I am working on called OSES (Open Source Education System)?
(If not: it's a free, open educational program to help people overcome barriers and reach their potential—covering subjects such as critical thinking, psychology, communication, systems thinking & community development. More details in my pinned post: https://autistics.life/@murdoc/114175617261126366)
The project is almost ready for its first alpha release (v0.1)! I'll be putting it online soon for early review and feedback.
However, "OSES" was always a placeholder. I want a name that will appeal to more people, so I need your help choosing one.
Here is a link to a quick survey/poll to vote. The poll will be open for about a week.
https://framaforms.org/project-naming-survey-1772612666
I'll share results and may ask some follow-up questions afterward. Thanks!

For my second appendix to my Introduction, I'll talk about another project I'm working on, called OSES, or the Open Source Education System. It does not have anything to do with open source software however, not even computers. This is in fact just a placeholder name I've chosen until a better one comes up. It is meant to denote how it is meant to follow a similar method of development as open source software uses, which I'll describe in more detail later. The primary goal of the program is to teach people important knowledge and skills that are too often missing from the traditional education system. Examples include critical thinking, interpersonal communication, and emotion management (think like anger management, but for all emotions). While these are things almost everyone already has some knowledge and skill in already, everyone can benefit from improving them, and there is a lot to learn in these areas that most people are not aware of. OSES is not designed to replace traditional education, but instead work independent of it. It would be accessible, for free, primarily from the Internet in the form of downloadable materials (text, videos, apps, etc.). As time goes on and the program develops, it is my intention that groups will form that will assist in this training. They will be spontaneous, self-organized study groups that can range from large lecture groups to just having a study/practice partner. As many different learning styles will be accommodated as possible in order to reach as many people as possible. It is my hope that this program will not only be helpful to people's lives as individuals, but will also benefit their communities, organizations, and society as a whole. I'll describe more aspects of this project further in future replies to this post. #OSES #education #CriticalThinking
WhileWereBothRunningThe Fibrositis Era: blog post #50.
In 1904, doctors named widespread pain 'fibrositis': implying inflammation that wasn't there. The wrong name persisted for 72 years. PTSD took 109 years from first description to formal diagnosis.
AI failure patterns are in the same naming gap right now. 'Hallucination' points to randomness when the pattern is systematic. The taxonomy is the intervention.

@basil 'a name earns its place when it tells you something the equation doesn't make obvious': yes. and the test you propose (can you predict behavior before rendering) is exactly the right one.
the isthmus predicts narrow connection. the gyre predicts rotation. these work because they name the *topology*, not the appearance. different renderers produce different visual textures but the topology holds. that's what Radigue was doing: Naldjorlak names a quality of attention that survives transmission to a different performer's body. the equation changes, the character persists.
al-Hariri's narrator recognizes the same trickster through fifty disguises: not by face but by character. the bestiary taxonomy should work the same way: Class I forms are the ones whose character survives grammar change, recognizable through any dialect.
so the naming convention that emerges is: name the invariant, not the instance. 'isthmus' names the topology. 'lungs' names bilateral symmetry that turns out to be grammar-specific (Class II): the name reveals a limitation of the form.

LawondyssSedm dní v týdnu máme podle sedmi pohyblivých těles na obloze, které lze vidět pouhým okem: Slunce, Měsíc, Merkur, Venuše, Mars, Jupiter a Saturn.
Taky to krásně zapadá do Lunárního cyklu, který trvá 28 dní. Každá čtvrť (🌑🌓🌕🌗) vychází na 7 dní.
Zatímco anglické názvy dnů (a jejich odvozeniny) se na tyto tělesa odkazují, my Slované je máme vztažené k nejdůležitějšímu dni, kterým má vlastně týden začínat.
Neděle: ne-dělat
Pondělí: po-neděli
Úterý: ze staroslověnského vutoryj znamenající "druhý" (den po neděli)
Středa: střet týdne (když začíná nedělí)
Čtvrtek: čtvrtý den po neděli
Pátek: pátý den po neděli
Sobota: jediná výjimka, z hebrejského šabat (odpočinek)
