GRAVITY TWENTY ONE -- Tuesday, October 6,

This one will be short. I've just finished my math exam, and will find out tomorrow if I can graduate on Sunday. Signs point to yes, but one can never be too sure. I didn't ace it. That much is clear.

Another bit of news. I'm getting kicked off the network because I'm no longer a student. Unless this can be worked out with LUCC, (which may be possible because I'll be working with several Lehigh big-wigs to finish a curriculum advisement computer program), the last posting will be October 16th's Gravity Thirty-One. Ten still to go after this one.

Today's stuff:

A ThoughtShop is a collection of agents. Each agent has an internal memory structure called a context. In code, I use the designation 'mu' for an agent's context (note lowercase 'm'). Contexts contain item names. The items referenced by these names are kept in another memory structure called the 'ground' which is accessible by all agents in a ThoughtShop. The ground is designated by 'Mu' (note uppercase 'M').

Now, agents from different ThoughtShops can communicate with each other, just as agents within a ThoughtShop can communicate. The Getting and Sending occurs between agents, and if what's being gotten or being sent is currently in the receiving agent's ground (as in the case when an agent sends something to another agent in the same ThoughtShop), only names need be sent. The actual item stays put, and the names get changed (...to protect the innocent...)

That's all for today. I'm really tired. I can hardly think straight.
Tommorrow I'll talk about something called acclimation.
