subsidy we get from nature is incredible

The subsidy we get from nature is incredible. 

p.154
Similar wear-indicators can be found in a cheap paperback. When you lay it down on your night table, its spine buckles open slightly at the page you were last reading. You can pick up your story the next evening at this spontaneous bookmark. 

p.154
Wear encodes useful information. 

p.154
   Worn spots are emergent. They are sired by a mob of individual actions. Like most emergent phenomena, wear is liable to self-reinforce. A gouge in environment is likely to attract future gouges. Also, like most emergent properties, wear is communication. In real life “wear is tattooed directly on the object, appearing exactly where it can make an informative difference”, says Will Hill, a researcher at Bellcore, the telephone companies research consortium.  

p.154
As an example, Hills suggests that an electronic document can be enriched by a record of how others interact with it. “While using a spreadsheet to refine a budget, the count of edit changes per spreadsheet cell can be mpped onto a gray scale to give a visual impression of which budget numbers have been reworked the most and least.”  This gives an indication of where confusion, controversy, or error lie. 

p.154
Another example: businesses with an efficiency bent can track what parts of documents acquire the most editorial changes as it bounces back and forth between various departments. Programmers call such hot spots of wheel-spinning change “churns”. They find it useful to know where, in a million lines of group-written programmming code, the areas of churn are. 

p.154
   Where Hill works, all the documents that pass through his lab keep track of how others (human or machine) interact with them. When you select a text file to read, a thin graph on your screen displays little tick marks indicating the cumulative time others have spent reading this part. You can see at a glance the few places other readers lingered over. Might be a key passage, or a promising passage that was a little unclear. Community usage can also be indicated by gradually increasing the type size. The effect is similar to an enlarged “pull quote” in a magazine article, except these highlighted “used” sections emerge out of an uncontrolled collective appreciation. 

p.154
   Wear is a wonderful metaphor for a commonwealth. A single wear mark is useless. But bunched and shared, they proved valuable to all. The more they are distributed, the more valuable. Humans crave privacy, but the fact is, we are more social than solitary. 

p.155
For instance, nature has no garbage problem because nothing becomes waste. An industry imitating this and other organic principles would be more compatible with the organic domain around it.

“TRUE / FALSE”, 1981
self-containment:  Kim asks, “Is there truth in every falsity, or is it that every falsity is based on a truth?”  The word “true” is in lowercase and “False” is in uppercase.

smell therapy (pollution, diesel, exhaust pipe, aroma, ...); olfactory bulb [“your sense of smell, which is the one sense that bypasses the thalamus. That’s why smelling salts are used to wake up a passed-out person. While we’re here, cool fact: smell is the function of the olfactory bulb and is the most ancient of the senses. Unlike the other senses, smell is located deep in the limbic system, where it works closely with the amygdala and hippocampus—which is why smell is so closely tied to memory and emotion.”;── Tim Urban, 20 April 2017, Neuralink and the Brain's Magical Future, waitbutwhy.com ].
