The Harmonic Triads

This is very ironic. Should have actually read the story before flapping my gums, I guess.

“Edited parts in bold.” — Scatterbrained McGee

Not to be confused with du jour… although it is supposed to trigger at the same time as all of this other stuff. Or else what is the damn point?

How to ask nicely:

^^^ :hot_springs: Hot, subject to change.

Can zoom in and out.

The colors need tweaking more, but that’s trivial.

If your viewing on your phone, use the zoom buttons bottom right for zoom level, laptop can smooth zoom.

It’s just a demo.

I put “ME” in the middle because people who use Maslow’s hierarchy to assess others should also remember that it applies to them too.

ideas:

  • Graphics like this can be shown directly on any webpage (no codepen controls).
  • Would be cool if the (highlight on mouseover) text was clickable, then it zooms into a new iteration with the selected text as the new category. Would need a zoom back button for phones, unless pinch works inside the canvas.
  • The poles are constantly shifting in the demo, but bias could be indicated that way, a reduced pole highlighting deficiency, for example, or an inflated pole highlighting overcompensation.
  • Tags could appear / disappear as they fall out of bounds due to insufficient overlap or excessive overlap.
  • Get the green to be more yellow.

That’s pretty cool, but green goes between blue and yellow, and orange goes between red and yellow, and the three primaries are blue, red and yellow (NOT GREEN). I must break you.

Ok, cool. I have some good ideas for it, I’ll try do a demo.

Hopefully you saw how I just edited.

(I’m lucid sleep writing. Was.)

Green isn’t there, that’s red and green at 255 to make yellow. Remember I only have RGB to work with, and I’m not brilliant at matching.

Where Copilot left things. Prolly for a reason.

Image code.

Gn.

Before you go, what is the colour mapping to Be, Do, End?

yellow, blue, red

Can you tell me what you think of this idea? It is not final.

It’s pretty cool as a graphic. Not sure what you’re gonna do with it. Some sort of fractalicious taxonomy?

Aye. Clickable labels that zoom into another iteration with the clicked label as the new parent category.

A graphical kaleidoscope, as it were.

Fluid balance between poles indicated.

What do you think?

I think (don’t know) that Maslow’s needs can be mapped recursively this way, but I’m not completely sure.

The size constraints (mobile) are a limitation of hotlinking to codepen.io, it can transpose to any size of display.

would be cool to do it with “the thingy” if you understood the connections

Well, that’s where I am weak, but I’m working on a way to easily define the connections, a single editable file that any AI will understand easily. It’s in a format called JSON which is ubiquitous all over the internet.

There could be an editor included, where parent / child / child… relationships are defined, and the software just creates the recursive explorer for the information provided.

So you could literally just type the triadic definitions into text boxes and then explore the structure…

parent child child?

Is there no way to represent parent parent parent in mutual entailment?

You need a starting point (seed), computers don’t do infinity very well, at all. The “parent” is the uppermost order view, everything else is children, or children of children. But you’re right, in reality, everything is a parent and a child at the same time.

It’s just semantics for first order, second order, etc. I think. I may need to read more about recursive relationships as far as data is concerned.

…you don’t think AI that thinks like we do (but more efficiently in at least some respects) can overcome this the same way that is available to us?

The uppermost order view only allows for one parent? You can’t get around that? That handicaps the entire situation.

that doesn’t make any sense at top/seed level
