Things that are missing Things that are missing from the mesh, and should Pure Data comments as labels, things that have no place in the actual pipelines Calling them internodal, is placing them in the mesh nonetheless. Function names Lay-out noise [[interference]] moire reduction of noise can not be the dream dataflow based systems - noise generators. not putting noise to work - a charicature of noise. fuzzy - random - real randomness Can a system be generous for the things not mapped. so, not put it to work, not there is al [[tolerance]] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robustness_principle "Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others (often reworded as "Be conservative in what you send, be liberal in what you accept")." margin for error wrongness hard to know where to filter, where to be generous bitshift filling out an address - the assumption of having all elements the alien norwegian meshenger -- maybe: common ground, negotiation voluntarism -- is generous always anti strict expecting empathy solidarity generosity a solid infrastructure, or allowing for things to break down? life, empathy If technology start codifying our life, they ought to be generous handshakes beyond protocol? generous protocols?

Caring about what is being treated. Scale, doing one thing, one thing really well. Because of it's modularity allows one to create new things. It will be taken care of by someone else. Porous pipe. Is it leaking. There will always be things leaking. Generous towards the system, rather than the system being generous towards you. Harder to recognize the alien bit, in it's binary state. Inodes being moved on the hard-disk.
