- The point of the Antilog blog was originally to have a single log that I would log in all the important stuff I was doing, like a kind of meta-blog. I say meta-blog because I have 40 or 50 separate blogs.
- I keep logs of every website I visit as well as the themes of my art and research. Here is a list of items on that log from November 22nd, 2019 to December 12th, 2019. I could go on, but it's been long enough just gathering this list.

* I noticed an emergent phenomenon in my band practise yesterday;
* I found that we developed a consensus mechanism;
* The basic idea is that every member has veto power on any vote/decision;
* This emerged spontaneously, without intention, design, and planning;
* All it takes is one person having even the slightest doubt and the song gets scrapped;
* Only the songs that we are all in consensus with passes onto the next stage;
* We develop a set-list of songs over our jam sessions throughout the year;
* Some new songs entire and new songs get retired;
* We have an abundance of material, so if someone isn't sure about a song, we shelve it;
* We are basically like three Judges; After every song we play, we do a vote;
* It works, so far it has made the best music;
* The main question is, Do we want to continue working on this song, or do we scrap it?;
* The process is not time-consuming, they are just decisions, choices, aesthetic ones, judgements of taste if you will, in the Kantian sense;
* We also have the same mechanism for adding new members to the band, because we've been talking about maybe getting a second guitarist;
* Same as with every other kind of vote, if someone has even a doubt about this person, if we don't "feel" it.. because it all has to do with gut feeling, 100% gut feeling.. if we don't feel it, we veto PASS.. onto the next item in the interminable list of decisions to make when you're an organization.

* I just came across some old tweets of mine that I want to share with you. I'm constantly trying to reinvent myself, which is a yearlong affair. I will be posting more soon.

* A short while ago, I became interested in Prolog and logic programming in general, as well as building ontologies or building knowledge bases;
* I did a lot of research and lately I've discovered the Logtalk programming language and it seems to do everything I need it to do to build my own expert system;
* I've also been reading quite a bit about functional programming in Python in general; I've begun the transition to Python 3; Yes, I learned Python 2.7 when I learned to program and now it won't be supported anymore in a few months, starting in January, 2020, so I have to switch to Python 3 sooner or later;
* I also have been reading up on The Seigneurial System in the colony of New France; Apparently, the Seigneurial System was NOT feudalism;
* I've been trying to code in Python, putting new knowledge into application; I'm also continuously reading a lot of code on Github and in Gists on Github;
* I've been making music on the weekend with my friends where we have begun recording an album of original music in the Rock & Roll genre;
* I still want to augment my knowledge of higher mathematics; from trigonometry and beyond, including Calculus and differential equations; I'm starting to have a nice basis in statistics and probability and I understand most of the basic concepts of differential and integral calculus;

* I've been slowly working on concepts for my novels; I'm also in the process of writing new lyrics for some of the songs I've been playing with my band;
* I said I've been reading a lot of code on Github; I started becoming interested in Python code implementing a simple proof of work algorithm, or client puzzle, similar to the Hashcash protocol, or what is used in Blockchain technologies;
* I did quite a bit of research on Expert Systems, especially expert systems written in Python; Most of the code I read is in Python; I haven't really been able to learn any other languages just yet; I've taken courses in Standard ML and Scala, and I've played around with Ruby and Prolog and other systems; I even tried to learn Haskell at some point;
* I've also been trying to improve my knowledge of computer programming in general; Trying to learn good habits, following the proper Python idioms; With that said, it goes without saying that I am learning about different programming paradigms, trying to develop my own coding style;
* Before much of the above, I focused for a while on the concept/theme of Political Polarization, or attitude polarization in particular, and group polarization in general; I began studying political polarization because of an actual conversation I was having in a Facebook group; I was trying to understand how two people could look at the same set of facts and have entirely different interpretations, even though as stated, the facts "on the ground" were exactly the same;
* I ended up trying to understand Post-truth politics, or the post-truth world in general;
* I also read up on conspiracies such as QAnon in trying to understand the current political landscape in America;
* I learned about the so-called Pamphlet Wars, which was really interesting;
* I now want to get a better more rounded understanding of Proof assistants or interactive theorem provers in general; I am also interested in genetic programming, though this latter one has been an interest for many years now;

* The Formalization of Philosophy;
* In the name of the formalization of philosophy, I tried to encapsulate the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari in a knowledge base in Prolog. I took the first chapter of What is Philosophy? by D+G and extracted the main statements. I then went over these statements and turned them into Facts in Prolog.I named the file after the title of the first chapter in D+G’s book, WhatIsAConcept.pl.;
The knowledge base shown below is far from being complete. There were many statements in the chapter What is a Concept? in D+G’s book that I couldn’t fit in the syntax for Facts in Prolog, at least as I understand it. This is more of an experiment in a more formal/fornalized philosophy.;
* I learned about discursive formalization in the work of Michel Foucault. He mentions a few times how certain discourses can become more and more formalized, like mathematics and theoretical physics and so forth, which are highly formalized. Philosophy is not so formal/formalized, so it will take some work before we can fully make it so.;

- I had a long winter and spring; I am picking things up again.
-  I have done and am doing a lot of research, lately;
- Most of the same Themes are coming into play;
- It's getting easier to maintain a peak in my art practice-research practice;
- I've been making NoiseFields, as shown here below;
