Leonardo Calculus Knowledge Representation: Defining sensors sense and sense2 lispdef helper action entities

screwlisp.small-web.org/lispga

Introduces and demos lispdef entities which in the upper ontology are entities containing lisp forms which can/do provide its concrete programming implementation.

Tying these together is obviously great, none of this "just an ontology" and "just not an ontology" stuff.

And James Butcher, formerly vice president of Nature Research and BMC journals and, earlier, executive editor of The Lancet, explains on LinkedIn why #science #journal #article #processing #charges are high: linkedin.com/posts/jwbutcher_s #APCs (2/2)

www.linkedin.comLast week the NIH announced a price cap for open access charges, which will likely reduce authors' choice of where they can publish. | James ButcherLast week the NIH announced a price cap for open access charges, which will likely reduce authors' choice of where they can publish. We don’t know what the cap will be at this point; the implications will be much more significant if the price is capped at $3000 rather than $9000, for example. --- Academics often think that publishers charge a high APC simply because the journal has a high impact factor and is perceived by the community to be prestigious. That erroneous conclusion omits one important detail: high impact factors and prestigious venues are (often) created by low acceptance rates and in-house editorial teams. Indeed, APC prices are generally based on two things: the selectivity (i.e. acceptance rate) of the journal and the editorial costs (i.e. journal overhead) incurred. The maths are simple, but often overlooked. (1) A journal that accepts 10% of submitted articles needs its APC to be five times higher than a journal that accepts 50% of articles, in order to generate the same amount of revenue. (2) A journal that has 5 full-time, salaried, editorial staff — incurring overhead costs of $500k — is more expensive to run than a journal that has an editorial board of 20 volunteer academics, who receive $100k in editorial stipends between them. In other words, journals with high APCs tend to be selective and have high editorial overheads. --- Price caps, if they were adopted widely, would likely push up acceptance rates on selective journals and make publishers reduce editorial costs by: (1) replacing salaried in-house editors with (cheaper) academic editors. (2) asking editors to spend less time on each paper so that they can accept more articles each year (so that the revenue per editor stays the same, despite the lower APC). Some people would no doubt be pleased to see the end of selective journals with high production values. I’m not one of them. What do you make of the NIH announcement and what do you think the price cap will be?

Leonardo Calculus Knowledge Representation: Fleshing out organism’s attributes

Adding attributes to the organism type (plant, insect and bird are all subsumed-by organism). I also add a coelacanth of type organism to a world entityfile. In my view, quite a good and informational/instructional article if I do say so. What do you think?

Plant Insect Bird practical formal ontology with Leonardo calculus

I revisit my #lispgames #gamejam #gamedev. In this article I create a formal ontology to be a vehicle for my concrete game redux of the jam (which had been lacklustre if technically interesting. Let's be technically interesting and have more lustre this time round.

**Studying Philosophy Does Make People Better Thinkers**

"_Results indicate that students with stronger verbal abilities, and who are more curious, open-minded, and intellectually rigorous, are more likely to study philosophy. Nonetheless, after accounting for such baseline differences, philosophy majors outperform all other majors on tests of verbal and logical reasoning and on a measure of valuable habits of mind._"

I was just startled because one of my followers "is on the deathbed" until I realised it was only a quote from an article. And it's not the first time something like that has happened here.

When designing a scientific experiment, a key factor is the sample size to be used for the results of the experiment to be meaningful.

How many cells do I need to measure? How many people do I interview? How many patients do I try my new drug on?

This is of great importance especially for quantitative studies, where we use statistics to determine whether a treatment or condition has an effect. Indeed, when we test a drug on a (small) number of patients, we do so in the hope our results can generalise to any patient because it would be impossible to test it on everyone.

The solution is to perform a "power analysis", a calculation that tells us whether given our experimental design, the statistical test we are using is able to see an effect of a certain magnitude, if that effect is really there. In other words, this is something that tells us whether the experiment we're planning to do could give us meaningful results.

But, as I said, in order to do a power analysis we need to decide what size of effect we would like to see. So... do scientists actually do that?

We explored this question in the context of the chronic variable stress literature.

We found that only a few studies give a clear justification for the sample size used, and in those that do, only a very small fraction used a biologically meaningful effect size as part of the sample size calculation. We discuss challenges around identifying a biologically meaningful effect size and ways to overcome them.

The famous quotes from The Biography of Guo Tuo-tuo, the Tree Planter (種樹郭橐駝傳):

Quotes on Tree-Planting Experience

"橐駝非能使木壽且孳也，能順木之天，以致其性焉爾。"
- Translation: Tuo-tuo isn't able to make trees live long and flourish; he simply follows their natural tendencies, allowing their inherent nature to fully develop.
- Explanation: This reveals that the fundamental key to successful tree planting lies in following natural laws.
"其本欲舒，其培欲平，其土欲故，其築欲密。"
- Translation: Its roots should be spread out, the soil around its base should be level, the earth should be its original soil, and the tamping should be firm.
- Explanation: This summarizes the specific essentials of tree planting, emphasizing adherence to the trees' growth habits.
"其蒔也若子，其置也若棄。"
- Translation: When planting, treat it like a child; once planted, leave it as if abandoned.
- Explanation: This explains the wisdom of appropriate care and letting go, avoiding excessive interference.

Quotes Criticizing Improper Tree-Planting Methods
"雖曰愛之，其實害之；雖曰憂之，其實讎之。"
- Translation: Although they say they love it, they are actually harming it; although they say they worry about it, they are actually its enemy.
- Explanation: This points out that excessive care can be counterproductive, drawing a parallel to inappropriate methods of education and management.

Quotes Extended to Governance
"見長人者好煩其令，若甚憐焉，而卒以禍。"
- Translation: Seeing those in power who love to issue numerous commands, as if showing great compassion, but ultimately bringing disaster.
- Explanation: This critiques officials who issue tedious and disruptive policies, causing harm to the people, echoing the principles of tree planting.
"傳其事以爲官戒也。"
- Translation: I record this matter as a warning for officials.
- Explanation: This clarifies the purpose of the essay, emphasizing the use of the tree-planting wisdom to caution those in power.
