• Hypothesis: what you see with your eyes closed, the lights you can see in the dark -- that is not random noise, it is computation.
  • The visual cortex may be used to compute arbitrary programs given the passage of time: an image can encode a spectrogram, for example, and pattern recognition applied to shapes in the spectrogram may yield at least some useful sound information (given the "right" neural networks)
  • Arbitrary programs could be stored and replayed in the visual cortex by e.g. evolving cellular automata or a neural network that can simulate them, which would seem to yield universal computation as per Wolfram et al
• Hypothesis: there is much in the nature of [[light]] we still do not know.

• a [[tool]]
  • for [[annotation]]
    • you can annotate anything on the [[web]] by installing the hypothes.is browser extension or passing a URL to https://via.hypothes.is
  • [[pull]] [[hypothes.is]] [[agora hypothesis]]
  • [[go]] htts://hypothes.is
  • [[wp]] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesis pull
• a [[tool]]
  • for [[reasoning]]
  • in [[formal logic]], the [[antecedent]] of a [[proposition]].
  • [[pull]] [[hypotheses]]
    • "A hypothesis (plural hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. For a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method requires that one can test it."
    • "A working hypothesis is a provisionally accepted hypothesis proposed for further research, in a process beginning with an educated guess or thought."

Hypothes.is

• extend client:
  • read from multiple API-sources
  • read tags from API (not just from cache)
  • integrate with [[web-clipper]]
  • integrate with foam's wikilinks
  • retrofit discussion threads to follow [[kialo]]
• clone and adapt API-server to support plugins for fetching personal notes for some url from:
  • twitter
  • slack
  • discord
  • reddit
  • gmail: fetch also tags
  • keep
  • ...
  • page flags for:
    • github issues (authored & commented)
    • chrome & firefox plugins (to know you have installed them)
  • AND/OR use [[promnesia]] browser extension (requires a lot of python configuration)
  • see also: [[Agora Bridge]]
  • see also HPI library

Hypothes.is allows users to annotate webpages or documents in their margins, providing the option to further enrich a snippet with context. Sharing is built in to Hypothes.is, affording added context and active reading across groups.

This enables social tagging, which helps users find related content and build community. [[Social tagging is a key user behavior to managing a decentralized knowledge graph]]. This can come in the form of text, likes or [[emoji reactions]].

In an exciting development, the W3C Web Annotation recommends expanding upon their functionality by binding annotations to specific subregions of PDFs, which would enable [[interoperability]] beyond the tool alone.

  • I currently use [[logseq]] for taking notes and storing fragments; and [[hypothesis]] for annotating the web and pdfs hosted online. but I use both on desktop only -- on mobile I don't have either note taking or annotations solved. I mostly go to anagora.org/<node> on a mobile browser and write things down in the stoa (shared document) when pressed.

  • or maybe interfacing [[agora bridge]] with [[hypothesis]] since hypothesis is being used already

  • adding annotations to [[hypothesis]]
