  1. After re-learning some trigonometry (if it was ever more than half-learnt) I can make circular memes with text now. I don't have a text-to-arc procedure yet but I can align text along tangents which I'll need for another meme-idea. All this should be getting me closer to Florence Nightingale's #RoseDiagram. I want to call the #FlowerPlots though. The text is from #IARichards #TheoryOfComprehending essay in the book #SpeculativeInstruments.

  2. Reading of machines understanding(?) human language has me going back to "IARichards's "#TheoryOfComprehending" in _#SpeculativeInstruments_ and Anne E. #Berthoff's _#RichardsOnRhetoric_. To better see and feel how we should probably thing of "Natural Language Understanding" I want to rotate pie slices for each aspect of the "purposing" comprehension. As the whole diagram rotates the different aspects should swell and shrink and move like an amoeba or ore maybe even an organism of few cells.
