the verb meanings are, kinda...me...a "fret"!...as I noted in last post, words with multiple definitions, meanings, would be a problem for an Artificial Intelligence trying to talk...see previous post...something to note, computers take no time to talk...they figure things out almost instantaneously...we do that too, likely...the pace we speak and think at, some artifice, or something...I dunno...anyway, anyway, no less a wight than facebook is working on making AIs "talk", and, and, it's much like I proposed for the dialog in my story-poetic repartee!...that's how I found ParLai, facebook lifted it from Pirates of the Carribean' "Parlay"...a call for Parlay was a call to go to the rulebook to unsnarl a quarrel...the Parlay rules accepted by everyone as final word...hmmph...Angels made out...top of third...I searched "Artificial Intelligence repartee...wala...ParLai...search this on youtube, and it brings up vlog clips, examples of ParLai dialogs, and they have that poetic repartee aspect!...this to say, everything is skewed, off, from straightforward meaning...more on this for sometime!...my take on the famous Celtic spirals is that they represent the passage of the Sun through the seasons...along the horizon, looking East, in the Northern hemisphere, to the far left is the Winter solstice, and to the far right is the Summer solstice-that tomorrow!...in between are 365 days...I've messed up my horizon line drawing above...Tigers get a run...Tigers 1-0...the middle pyramid isn't needed...the common division of the year is the two solstices, and the two equinoxes...so, soh, this can be represented with two spirals, my thought...and somewhere I've read that likely, but can't find a reference for support!...Ohtani up...0-2...runners at the corners...hmmph...K...one out...Ward up...from "two spirals" it's an easy...oh, a double play...on to top of fourth...it's an easy jump to see in motifs, two of anything in "palindrome" like display, represent the two solstices...the Egyptian Lions of Yesterday and Tomorrow..."lions of yesteday and tomorrow soltices"...and that brings back: Your search - "egyptian lions of yesteday and tomorrow soltices" - did not match any documents....time was misspells brought up stuff...corrected spelling, and better:


quote

Aker was first depicted as the torso of a recumbent lion with a widely opened mouth. Later, he was depicted as two recumbent lion torsos merged with each other and still looking away from each other.[1]

From Middle Kingdom onwards Aker appears as a pair of twin lions, one named Duaj (meaning "yesterday") and the other Sefer (meaning "tomorrow"). Aker was thus often titled "He who's looking forward and behind". When depicted as a lion pair, a hieroglyphic sign for "horizon" (two merged mountains) and a sun disc was put between the lions; the lions were sitting back-on-back.[2]

Tiger runners on first and second...the ancient motifs are a "repartee", a Parlay, a ParLai...a poem rather than straightforward prose...as is Nature with Her motifs that celebrate the seasons...woop, I drift...Rendon up...K...one down, bottom of fourth...Angels 1-1...Walsh hits his eighteenth homerun!...and the Egyptians saw in the hours of a day a correspondence to the days in a year...which is kind of a no brainer...what isn't a no brainer, is that every planet, moon, round rotating thing around a round rotating thing!, in the universe, has lions of yesterday and tomorrow-seasons...observers of the Iceland volcanos have come to the thought that molten black and orange/red magma is like everywhere on planets, moons, asteroids...made by collisions, by internal heat...the surface of Mars looks so like the surface of Earth!...looking about, we see what things are like here, and too, there!...lol...I was gonna do some step fret stuff...for tomorrowmorrow...bbk with game report...bk....Angels lost in the tenth....Tigers 5, Angels 3...good game!...Walsh hit his 18th HR, Ohtani tied the game, 3-3, with his 23rd!...Upton was given day off, and his bat missed...Fletcher was terrific, but a bad bounce on a routine grounder proved crucial...

Second Jab










Notes: game on...on the radio...Angels at Athletics...As 5-3...bottom of eighth...Ohtani just hit a solo home run to get the Angels to 3...I was going to call this pic above, 'repartee'...previous post I went on about how the Artificial Intelligence computer Today spoke poetically, like the riddling talk said to be favored by Druids...the telepaths in this sci fiction story I'm making talk this way too...and not being at all sure of what I meant by poetic, I was watching the snip from movie Tombstone, the dialog between Doc Holiday and Johnny Ringo over the poker table...they square off, verbally, kinda the way rappers insult and challenge one another...they even launch into Latin jibes at one another-both being educated Southern Gentlemen displaced to the Wild West by the Civil War, or some such...that is what I'm trying to do!, my thought...and I tried to find the name for such banter...well, banter is one name, and there are a whole lot of synonyms...my thought is that an AI would know all the synonyms for words, and its speech would be full of puns...this profusion of synonyms would give an AI fits in word choosing...to say nothing of sound alike different words and such...telepaths might have the same dilemma...I dunno...As hit a home run too...As 6-3...the word I settled on is repartee...and I will do up a whole post about it!...close study of Ophelia's songs, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight...once there was "courtly repartee"...bit like the conversations between Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart!...top of ninth...home run for Walsh!...oh, this hurts to be so close to a come back!...As 6-4...Ward up...second jab: I got my second Moderna vaccine shot tonight...not without trepidation...fell sick a week after first shot...but everyone assures me that was coincidental...so sick I spent Memorial Day weekend in the ER and Hospital...first time ever that happened for me...but they fixed me up, and I came home with an expensive bottle of pills, Elequis, to manage my leg vein clots...clots were in my stomach too, and messed up my colon's normal movement...hmmph...that two weeks back now, and I've been okay...but my string of consecutive postings to facebook and here for this year broke...game final, As 6-4...and I dont feel inclined to return to everyday postings...so, soh, they'll be intermittent...onward!...

Notes:...welp, how can I explain this, the why of that search above, which has gone awry...that "almost simultaneously"  bit was in the wiki page one day, gone the next, or I can't find it...such is wiki...such is a multi tasking artificial intelligence!...like a chess master playing multiple opponents at once, an Artificial Intelligence computer can engage millions, billions, of "opponents" at once....and each engagement can be assessed in real time and things learned from it applied across the spectrum of opponents...I dunno...I came to this wondering how telepaths would communicate, and how an Artificial Intelligence computer with telepathic abilities communicated with these telepathics...to start, I just wondered how an AI would talk, and decided it would be poetic, and the telepaths too would be poetic...this lifted from reading that Druids spoke to one another in riddles...back aways are the three AT, After Today posts, with bits from my work in progress, a dystopian sci fi tale, After Today..."Today" in the story is the AI computer...for reasons to be divulged, Today severs his telepathic link to the telepaths-he kills them...the telepaths are a group of hidden scientists, underground maybe, literally, as well as figuratively!...too much to tell....anyway, I set myself the daunting task of all the dialog in After Today to be poetic, as a concoction of how an AI might talk, how it might talk to telepaths, and how telepaths would talk to one another!...too much!...I came to the thought that such would talk like simultaneously...like immediately...consider, as individuals, we are in "telepathic" communication with our body, mostly our skin...it "talks" to us, and, for the most part, is in the background...what is in the "foreground" is us, me, you...and that is some kind of magic!...anyway. thinking long on this, I began reading web takes on AI that included simultaneous multi tasking...brb...

Multi-task learning (MTL) is a subfield of machine learning in which multiple learning tasks are solved at the same time, while exploiting commonalities and differences across tasks. This can result in improved learning efficiency and prediction accuracy for the task-specific models, when compared to training the models separately.[1][2][3] Early versions of MTL were called "hints".[4][5]

In a widely cited 1997 paper, Rich Caruana gave the following characterization:

Multitask Learning is an approach to inductive transfer that improves generalization by using the domain information contained in the training signals of related tasks as an inductive bias. It does this by learning tasks in parallel while using a shared representation; what is learned for each task can help other tasks be learned better.[3]

Notes: hmmph...in a general way, that is in the neighborhood of what I'm going on about...maybe!...at least in my story, I've settled on how the AIs and telepaths talk-poetically...but, but rolling around in my background is my step fret and triangle motif wonderings...how this motif diffused from Peru to Mexico and America's Southwest...again and again, diffusion happens so rapidly in the archaeological records, that it is like it is simultaneous...this happens in the paleontology records too!...about here, cue new age music...Gaia is telepathic...brb...

Gaia is a telepath, who is capable of reading and projecting her thoughts, erasing memories, and sensing the emotions of others.

Notes: so, soh, it's not like I'm breaking new ground...in truth, one of the frustrations of fiction writing is to be original...nearly everything imaginable has been imagined!-leastwise in the comics!..."who is to say, how it all is?"-me...so, soh, on a whim, or a "hint", while browsing youtube I put in the search bar "step fret"...see if something I haven't seen has been posted...and up came this:

Notes: the vlog clip is nicely done...set to music, from broken apart pieces, these clay seal impressions come together in an image like above...I've noted the clay seals before, but had no idea how common the step fret triangle motif is on them...these were all from Mesoamerica...curious now to find seals from Peru...just the seals all over, old and new worlds, is a marvel...those, and spindle beads!...both of these can be acquired on etsy, ebay, etc....that motif above, has the step, the fret, and where the triangle usually is, is that other thing, tau cross?...brb...

Notes: yes..tau cross...one just above has an equilateral triangle...more often, the triangle is a right triangle...sometime just a dot is there...it's hard to imagine what the artists were thinking with their stylizations!...site just has 39, but there must be thousands and thousands...most yet to be found...as I've noted before, the frustrating thing about the seals, from all over the world, is that they are "moveable type", yet it would take until Gutenberg to use the principle of moveable type to print books in the West!....brb...see wiki's take on moveable type...while some things diffuse, other things are notable for not diffusing!...Rome wasn't built in a day...nor volcanos...see current one in Iceland!...game on...on the radio!...Angels at Diamondbacks...Angels 5-0...top of second!...woop...Angels 6-0...this sad, as the Diamondbacks are having the worst of worst times...brb...20-45 their win loss...bbk with game report...bk...Angels 10-3...put a halo over this one!
