@SnowyCA it's all about the continuity! I'm theoretically drinking a refreshing multi-years-old tea, gaining the wisdom of the ancients.

Es sind auch noch ein paar Originalteile an Theseus Fahrrad. #ShipOfTheseus
Wenn man schon über Identität diskutieren will, dann doch über die Frage, ob dieses Rad noch das ist, das ich im Februar 2013 neu gekauft habe, oder längst ein anderes. 🤔

@metin
And it has 10 new screens, 5 new circuit boards and 3 new cases BUT it is still the same Television. -
Sometime this spring Quasimodough turned 5 (Yes, he's a #Covid baby). He's as bubbly as ever and still makes happy bread... although, like the #ShipOfTheseus, there's not much left of his original components.

I've got an often-patched work shirt that I like, but need to repair some more. I plan to keep patching it as long as it fits.
I'm thinking I should get one of those "Vern" style embroidered service-station name patches for it but with the name "Theseus".
It's one of those things people might see go by in public then maybe get it 30 min later and laugh. lol

Is This Anything?
A warforged having an existential crisis after being slowly Ship-of-Theseus'ed over the last century or so.

Bucky Fuller had an elegant solution to the #ShipOfTheseus paradox:
Take a rope made of three braided segments, one hemp, one silk, one nylon. Tie a loose slipknot near one end. It is a knot, we can agree? And it is made of hemp.
Slide the knot, it's still a knot, slide further, it is now made of silk! But isn't it the knot you tied? Go further, YOUR knot persists, now of nylon.
In this reality Nouns are pattern integrities through which rush quantum exchanges at an alarming rate ☺️

If you're not familiar with the Ship of Theseus (I was not until last year, believe it or not!)..
Wikipedia: "The Ship of Theseus, also known as Theseus's Paradox, is a paradox and a common thought experiment about whether an object is the same object after having all of its original components replaced over time, typically one after the other. "

If I replace a single component of my @frameworkcomputer 13, is it still the same laptop? What if I replace one part after another and ended up replacing every single component over a long period time, is my laptop still my original Framework 13?
What if I had kept all of the components that I had swapped out and assembled that into a Framework 13? Which one is my original laptop?

I'm sorry, just found out that #BlackFlag is touring and will be in #Boston (#CambridgeMA #CentralSquare) August 1st? Tickets still available - (EDIT now sold out as of 7/31) (only one bandmember still in the band, #ShipOfTheseus i guess?)
Anybody seen them recently, going this round? #BostonMusic

I often struggle with the #ShipOfTheseus problem when modeling buildings and the like in #Wikidata. At what point does something get ‘too’ different that you need to split items and link them with each other with “[structure] replaces” (P1398 or P1365) and “[structure] replaced by” (P167 or P1366) properties. 🤔

Is it still the same draft, if every participant of the draft pod get‘s replaced by someone else? Do we name it the draft of theseus then? And do you need to change your draft set to a Theros set immediatly?

"The ship on which Theseus sailed with the youths and returned in safety, the thirty-oared galley, was preserved by the Athenians down to the time of Demetrius Phalereus. They took away the old timbers from time to time, and put new and sound ones in their places, so that the vessel became a standing illustration for the philosophers in the mooted question of growth, some declaring that it remained the same, others that it was not the same vessel.

Are #VideoGame #remakes just an exercise in the #ShipOfTheseus thought experiment?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus
A remake literally rebuilds the original one wooden plank at a time. Developers need to figure out the "identity" of the game and stay true to it in the remake.
* If the remake is too close the original, why bother with the remake? All the planks are still deteriorated.
* If the remake is too far from the original, it's not the same game. I loved the ship's figurehead, and when you redesigned that from scratch, it might be even more beautiful, but it's no longer the same ship to me.Developing a good remake is all about rebuilding the Ship of Theseus without losing the core identity players originally connected with.

If everyone in a team leaves one organisation and then they all join another org, is it the same team? #shipoftheseus

And you didn’t ask, but I just applied the 6th patch on this tube. I have no idea how old it is but eventually it will be all-patches. #ShipOfTheseus.

CW: Spoilers from S. (Ship of Theseus) chapter 9
At this point I was almost expecting S. and Sola to just never meet again. Although I guess if you look at them as mirroring Jen and Eric, they'd HAVE to finally meet.
Also, I don't know why I didn't expect Sola to have been on board one of the other ships. She was obviously heavily involved in everything, based on the periodic sightings S. caught and the little bit Maelstrom could tell him about her. But I just hadn't made that assumption. It makes perfect sense, though, why she didn't seem alarmed when he got drugged and taken on board way back at the beginning of the book.
How did all of this start though? How did he originally get involved in everything? I've been wondering this whole time if maybe this was a fight he'd gotten tangentially involved in in his previous life, and made the decision to devote the rest of his life to it knowing the cost was forgetting his entire past (probably for the protection of loved ones). In which case it's too bad he can't at least know that this was in fact his choice. But of course, he would only have someone else's say-so that it was his choice. So what is that actually worth in his current state?
Will this ever get actually resolved? And does it count if the ending was of Filomela's choosing instead of Straka's?

I got #S. by #DougDorst and #JJAbrams for Christmas, and have been attempting to read it ever since. I'm only on pg 39, and have had to reread already as I try to figure out my "plan of attack" so I actually get what's going on. The main text is a story called #ShipOfTheseus by fictitious author #VMStraka and tells the story of a man with amnesia who gets shanghaied (is that still an acceptable term for it? Probably not. I'm gonna have to look into that later, but if someone else corrects me in the comments before I make an edit, here's a pre-emptive THANK YOU!) and finds himself part of a mysterious crew where he is apparently known as "S".
In the #margins is a conversation between two fictitious college students named Jen and Eric. They've so far never met, but converse via the margins of this book as well as random bits of paper they tuck between the pages. Most of their conversation revolves around solving the mystery of who VM Straka really is, but also some flirting and some comments on their own lives.
I'm having a bit of a hard time keeping both stories straight in my mind, so I think my plan is to read each chapter with the corresponding comments and bits of paper, then going back and rereading the chapter with JUST the text of Ship of Theseus. My brain is currently doing a GRAND job of keeping Eric and Jen's part of the story straight, so it's just the main text I need to revisit
Has anyone in the #bookstodon #fediverse read this book yet? Any tips on how best to proceed? This #book is definitely an amazing experience, it's just a lot to take in at once!
