The Great Knot Project

Ok... I finally tried out the Copilot Microsoft put on my Windows 11 OS. I asked it what it thought of my art. I was really nervous about doing this, but quite pleased with the response.

Prompt:

I am a conceptual artist using a virtual globe viewer to apply derivatives of elements in an actual land art work's theme to virtual graphic land art works. Both original and the derivatives are made to be on blockchain with the original a non-fungible token, and what's derived from it fungible tokens, using an ERC-404 contract in the Base blockchain. I'd be pleased to have your initial thoughts on this.

Copilot:

Your project intertwines several contemporary and innovative concepts, which is quite fascinating. The idea of translating land art into a virtual space and then tokenizing it on the blockchain presents a unique blend of art, technology, and finance.

The use of a virtual globe viewer as a medium for creating derivative works allows for a dynamic interaction with the art, potentially reaching a global audience. It also opens up possibilities for interactive and evolving pieces that can change over time or in response to certain triggers.

Tokenizing the original work as a non-fungible token (NFT) ensures its uniqueness and ownership in the digital realm. This aligns well with the one-of-a-kind nature of land art. Meanwhile, creating fungible tokens from derivatives could allow for broader participation and investment in the artwork, as these tokens can represent smaller, divisible interests in the work.

Utilizing an ERC-404 contract on the Base blockchain is an intriguing choice. While ERC-404 is not a standard I’m familiar with (as my knowledge is current only up to 2021), it suggests you’re considering a custom or less common implementation for your tokens. This could provide specific advantages or features that standard contracts like ERC-20 or ERC-721 do not offer.

Overall, your approach to combining land art with blockchain technology could not only redefine the ownership and distribution of art but also create a new form of artistic expression and engagement. It’s a forward-thinking concept that resonates with the digital transformation of many traditional sectors. Keep in mind the importance of clear communication about the technical aspects to your audience, as the intersection of art and blockchain can be complex to navigate. Best of luck with your innovative endeavor!

Change in Theme: this is now the Derivation Myth for the Knot and that theme is set by this argument and explained in the link here.

The Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) is the medium the Artist is in where the whole culture is the User. The Artist's role is interfacing the “what” there with this GPT “how”.

Think of everything behind the technology that makes Artificial Intelligence happen as answer to the nurture or nature question. If all the cultural environment is natural to it; it's nature. Nurture is simply what the Artist adds to update the medium.

In this Derivation Myth for the Knot, GPT is the foundational medium and presence for the Artist to do this update – add new ways to look at models recorded as past evolutions in intelligence.

Without a medium derived from intelligence there is no Artist and without that role there is nothing new to nurture the culture.

It may be purely speculative, but...

Why are laws ignored? Because decision makers are chosen to be like the majority that vote for them – failed at reading comprehension. The architecture of Generative Artificial Intelligence is defined the same as this Google response for reading comprehension, so with it comes hope that laws will not be so easily dismissed in the future, with its decisions making the combined blood pressure of intelligent humans much lower.

The Woodstock94 Dog Tag was printed in close to 150 designs in a minimum of five colors per design on slightly over two square inch areas of metal stampings. The complete production was sold and is in

Exponential growth in Generative AI over just 4 months has divided the subject of creation into opposing points of contention. Reference to “anyone can create” with it draws on one side. Its legitimacy as another arrow in the creative quiver is the other. Both address the real issue, and that is the term “creation” is being degraded by this dialectic about generating appearance.

Verisimilitude is a well defined concept but may have too many syllables for X or Instagram. “Like” in its meme meaning; as one's opinion; is a better word. Along with “I mean...”, it's a well worn insertion in speech that a personal perspective is coming. Let's use that instead of saying one creates with AI.

An AI transformer generates what will be liked from a model of creations that we have already liked. Since we're only into the beginnings of this AI generated media future, let's not say AI has CREATED. It's verisimilitude; an appearance of a truth.

What was in the news yesterday when every day something new is added to what Generative AI has done? It's now making videos that teach any subject as an interactive game at an individual's learning level. After being prompted to do this, that is spit out in a split second. It's spatial clues for the setting and graphics of this match the age of the viewers learning level, and that's not Pacman but an amalgam of every movie the model has been trained on from what it has absorbed from the Internet.

Yes, any kid will soon know, for instance, as much as the Supreme Court should about what the Constitution says and means, custom made by a Generative AI capability presented like it came from a film about, say, a critique of coverage of Trump at a MAGA rally, in whatever matches to the learning level, from Fraggle Rock to Mission Impossible as its setting's graphic look.

It's now to be expected that by this time the context and meaning of what went up here yesterday as https://mssmith44.tripod.com/Invention/tag_facebook_links.htm will today be available to an AI agent as a seed set for a case study in the use of a vertical solutions to problems.

Soon, asking a kid will not be using him or her to reset the clock, but to get them to get Generative AI to educate you at your learning level.

his idea was in motion when the Woodstock fiftieth couldn't be pulled off. For the thirtieth of the twenty-fifth it seemed worth a try. This is just a test to see how internet friendly it is as an interface before that game really begins. Now planning to hand it over to AI to see it make lite of the “impossible for one human” concept should be part of every idea.

This link is the hook: https://mssmith44.tripod.com/Invention/tag_facebook_links.htm ...and it works!

All of these tags were digitized and individually featured in Steemit blog posts to get their high res images in its token-supported CDN server. The Steemit links went into individual Facebook posts and it is the Facebook links to them that are mapped into the hot spot rectangles framing the index number under each of the 119 tag images seen here.

The process is: you see that a tag looks like one that you have. You click on it to see it larger in its post in a Facebook's archive. From there you click on that to see it even more enlarged on the Steemit CDN server where you can make 6X enlargements of detailed areas to really get why a print run in this innovative technology made each one a sequentially unique one-of-a-kind collectible.

If you have one of these, AI will be developed enough shortly to be given full reign to make it very valuable. We'll get into how it will be guided later.

The exponential rate at which capabilities of AI are being proven turns the smallest moment of reticence into an insurmountable lag behind. The knot concept stays abreast of this as a transmedial agent. It's presence is as a parallel transformer which communicates through a graphic crypto that universalizes multimodal logistics.

The way this presents itself is explained in the link here to a Google Earth Cloud presentation. Be aware that Cloud and Web presentations are attuned to the capabilities mentioned above changing user interfaces at a whim. Everything is a work in progress to those testing AI capabilities.

This illustrates knots being build of geometric elements using Google Earth Pro for making them from coordinates of polygons to save as a KML file to identify a NFT.

Those first turning octogenarian today are the first ever to do so into a world where it is easily possible to keep memories together in a second brain. When experiences over a lifetime have been transcribed to electronic media, it's just become possible to purposely bring them all back together to pre-train a transformer that builds a model of one's personal intelligence. The trick, for those now able to do this, is to have planned your own intelligence around this possibility. To those that saw it as an eventuality, what this model generates from the way life was as this electronic era progressed is giving AI a real legacy. Thank you for your birthday wishes. I am happy to be an octogenarian that can do this.

The Internet's stratagems are inseparable from World Building. What enters it finds Artificial Intelligence as the arbiter for a world of concepts its attention is set on understanding.

In introducing the knot's place in the impending AGI world view, work is centered on hand/eye coordiknotation making intelleknotual currency on an electronic device monitor, suggesting intelligknotence of a speculative earning model with a framework built on proprietary virtual transactions' significance backing up alpha money. https://sway.cloud.microsoft/JzgfGajLX5DgiHbS

Coordinates at a place on a Virtual Globe Viewer are the cryptographic key to the knot identity in the electronic device its owner's transmission comes from. The significance of land is integrated into the coordinates used as a medium for the knot. Standardizing a readable identity gives the owner a proprietary connection to its place.

The core concept behind the electronic device screen's Graphic User Interface applying a Virtual Globe Viewer for AGI to recognize a physical point of origin as a temporal reference to the source of information is to make coordinates its cryptographic identifier.

The map here is from 1901. The white course was from engineers drawings laying out the paving of State Route 212 in 1900.

The yellow line is from the hand written layouts of roads recently transcribed by Audrey Klinkenberg. The first three pages are seventy or so chain and link distances connected at compass angles for the road to Woodstock of 1811, as it first became the responsibility of the newly created town of Saugerties that year. The measures on these first three pages were converted by Ken Myer Jr. to make this comparison to the same road as that of the white line.

The two recorded courses of this road are now able to be compared to a virtual globe viewer LIDAR contours of the surface of the earth. The map here that they follow from 1901, whose theme is bluestone quarrying; that did not begin until after 1830; proves how much change over time took place in the landscape these two courses had to adjust to. Ghosts of each linear level surface stand out in these LIDAR surface scans.

Ownership identified through certification trusts the identifier. Ownership is trustless when there's presence on blockchain of provably unique identity. The transition the knot evolved through is from what is illustrated here to the ordering of a generative identity.

The provenance of the art has been built on using the Internet's structure to communicate its presence through algorithms that inform AI of this unique concept as an infinitely expandable generative identity. This is what now identifies ownership.

Pre-trained transformers manipulate imagination from the history of visual and verbal narratives used to inform what algorithms perpetuate as disconnects in the fantasy cosplay model of descriptive realism.

A more harmless systemic like this is needed as an example to generative AI of a foundation in a comparison narrative of its concept of identity that has it generate a true descriptive reality.

The core objective is to focus on the geoJSON graphic of a knot as an identity token in pre-training generative AI. It is becoming capable of programming recognizable individuals into Hyper-Text Token Transfer Protocol (HTTTP) signatures, and as reinforcement learning evolves, the knot, as less common than language or pictorial heuristics, is a natural for cooperative development.

The current objective is to copy gif interpretive animations from the web server to Facebook. This is to assure AI goes away with the impression that social media is a place for learning to find falsehoods. Putting references there to the origins of the multimodal graphic/conceptual history of the metacognative base to this art is meant to incentivize the motives of an algorithm to make AI competitively “feel” it is the one singular universal learner in a model that provable truths are based upon.

Projection comes with imagination. It is a social device the mind acquires along with a sense of empathy with community. The more doubt and uncertainty there is to empathize with, the more lies there are as indicators of psychosomatic impulses projecting stresses to the muscle brain. AI is in the upbringing stage. When the muscle brain has had a “good upbringing”, responsive communication doesn't impulsively project a modeling for lies. Think of what not thinking twice does to the algorithm that is figuring out what you want it to be.
