- I woke up with an idea inherited from the past few days of research with a new or else modified research question; I immediately got to work on some new research, which I did and then printed out my notes on computer terminal no. 1, after which point I went to the main desk to read, highlight and takes not on the printed materials; Now I am taking these back to computer terminal no. 1 to transcribed them and use them as launching pad for more research (which I will print out and go to the main desk and start the oscillatory pattern or also dialectical/dialogical rhythm that my work across the workspace follows;
- Today's research thus far has to do with the application of my Historical Topology ("HistTop") to work that AI researchers such as Dr. Fei-Fei Li are doing with world models and spatial intelligence in AI; actually, it would be more accurate to say I am backing up workspace theory to historical topology and then taking the whole of that line of research and applying it to world model/spatial intelligence treated in by current AI research;
- One of the major differences between my work and the work of leading, cutting-edge AI researchers is that I am working through these problems - and their elegant solutions - manually through a physical workspace; granted, my workspace is also virtual, is a physical/virtual hybrid workspace, but still, a lot of the fundamental research into experimental design workflow management methodologies that I do - and concepts and theories that stem out of them, such as workspace theory - is being physically "worked out" procedurally in the workspace, but manually; at this point it's hard to say who is ahead of whom, whether the AI researchers are ahead of me, or I'm ahead of them; I just know that to the best of my knowledge, no one is doing the kind of work I'm doing on these methodologies and their respective models;
- So once again I'm stating for the record that AI world models need (a) workspace theory; ...what I'm working on at the moment specifically is the whole delta-workspace theory from its inception over a decade ago and what that means for just work in general by artists first and foremost but also with other types of researchers; I'm thinking of the idea itself of tracking "deltas" or "changes" ("indicators of change") in the workspace modeled as a continuously changing 3D surface or "workspace", but not in the way that you might think; it needs to be processed nonlinearly, and for humans this means nonlinear cognition and nonlinear practice; so the AI will need to start "thinking" (or "processing") in a nonlinear manner; more on this later;
- I have just finished more research at computer terminal no. 1, printed it out, and now will go read through it, highlighting it, taking notes in my physical notebook, and then I will finalize this morning's work by creating unique, atomic Refcards that I will later take back to the computer terminal no. 1 and continue logging, documenting, and working out the actual next phase of the theory itself; I will also print out today's antilogso far and read and highlight, take notes on that at the main desk; in the afternoon, I may record a video presentation of all of this or else take some audio notes, and will likely also do some low-level art production; Stay tuned...

- I printed the new materials at computer terminal no. 1, took them to the main desk, then read through them, made highlights, took notes, then I put the most salient points on Refcards; now I am back at computer terminal no. 1 where I will transcribe them onto the computer, on Google Keep and in a .txt file on my deskstop (my main logfile for this workstation); This will then be the launching pad for a new line of research and then the process starts over again; I will also review the last week or work ("retrospective") and take notes on those; I also printed out the notes on the beginning of this antilog, as I said, and took notes on those; now I am back at computer terminal no. 1, as must be obvious by now, to start up the pattern of movement that will characterize the rest of the workday; SEE: "Rhythms in The Workspace" project);
- I did the research, printed out the materials, then went to the main desk to read, highlight, take notes in the physical notebook, then make Refcards; at this point we are rapidly approaching the "point of saturation" from the distributed polytextual practice, after which I hope to record a video presentation; I still hold fresh in memory all the work I did on the Picasso-Braque collaboration and on Walter Benjamin's work, namely his idea of three-dimensional writing which spawned all of what came after; I hope to record myself standing at the chalkboard to go over this content but in the purely physical domain, through live note-taking on said chalkboard; I find it more instructive and pedagogical that way, what I am now calling histororiagogy.

- I just finished reading and highlighting (at the main desk) what I had just printed at computer terminal no. 1; I also put the most salient points on Refcards, as predicted; I was studying some research on computational historiography which has many commonalities with my Historiomics/Historionautics frameworks; I looked at various datasets and platforms; I began thinking of my Switchboard Methodin terms of dynamic task allocation which I believe came out of work in the military, you know, what they call duty cycle rotation; I also looked at what is called Network-centric self synchronization as well as the proverbial "operational valu chain"; I looked at two primary spatial frameworks on which navigation relies: the egocentric (self-centered, first-person, self-to-object) + allocentric (world-centered, third-person, object-to-object); somehow, I was able to connect this to research in phenomenological ontology, maybe I can get into that later;
- I was thinking about how time order matters; more importantly, though, the workspace is a historiotopia, its Surface => is your immediate operational field => it is a 3D/4D canvas of immediate attention => The Geology (The Archive: beneath the surface is a vertical stratification of memory (w/ discontinuities, "gaps"; SEE: Michel Foucault's Discourse Analysis); I also thought about how my practice is already a multi-agent system: I function as a Painter, a Sound Designer/Musical Composer, and an Author (of fiction and non-fiction); I move from one role to another rapidly throughout the workday, across the workspace; I communicate with myself, making mental notes or "inner refcards" and also physical refcards, or "outer refcards";
- I thought about the structural capture of SILLAGE; SEE: my Phenomenology of Sillage; I also thought about my Breadcrumbs Method of leaving an audit trail, how it ensured that every single "mutation" in my work + workspace can be traced backwards, ensuring "reversibility", which is an important concept in The Feldenkrais Method; i.e. "Let's rewind the tape and see!"; once again, as I often do, I thought of the nonlinearity of the work + workspace, which I think might be the reason The New Documentation exists; more on the methods of The New Documentation later; I thought about how AIs suffer from "catastrophic forgeting" or context-window degradation because they treat memory like a flat text file; in Historical Topology or HistTop and the way I conceive my art studio + researcher labs, The Historiotheque, AI memory archivecture should be built as a "Geological Archive" where past states are shifted into sub-space layers where they maintain their relational connectivity allowing the AI to PULL them back to the "Surface Historiotopia" instantly via adiabatic accessibility; more on adiabatic accessibility in the workspace, you can refer to my WORKSPACE THEORY document for a detailed, high-level explanation of that; also, agents should communicate through a shared "Unified Field of Experience" I am calling it, a shared workspace topology; I covered many other topics, from innovations in military technology over the last 100 years and stuff from just plain project management & organizational theory, but I will leave it at this for now; Now I am going to relax a bit, maybe take a short walk to decompress, and hopefully record a video presentation of my last week's worth of work and also create some art (and listen to some music plus do some planning for future recordings for my Seasons of The Heart Project as well as my Symphonie du Vieux Village (or Symphony of The Old Village) which I have been working on for the last 10 years; Stay tuned, more to come in this antilog, either today or tomorrow or in coming days. (Note: I forgot to mention "cognitive collapse", which is partly why dynamic task allocation and duty cycle rotation is so effective, and also what I call "workspace collapse" for short, or "workspace (function) collapse" to relate it to wave function collapse, though the concept is different. More on that later as well. I always review my antilogs, so I "capture" all the threads that end in "more later" and end up finishing the logical threads sooner or later."
