Deontological Algorithms

Each problem that I solved became a rule, which served afterwards to solve other problems.

Algorithms that Dance to the Rhythm of the Environment

Deontological Algorithms

Each problem that I solved became a rule, which served afterwards to solve other problems.
— René Descartes (1596-1650)

For this titled responsion to work, the universality must apply to the species as a whole.

One aspect of a deontological system is that it is typically normative and based on duty or obligation. However, I want to make the case (very briefly) that deontology is also natural and rooted in something broader than something we owe our fellow humans and/or the planet. Morality aside (for a moment), we are querants, pattern-seeking bobbleheads always looking for a problem to solve. We can't help it!

Regarding ethical systems, the dance I am referring to includes the people in our environment and should solve problems related to our obligations as the dominant species on this planet. That's right, we don't have a natural predator, and as such, the conditions have emerged for concepts like duty and obligation. Otherwise, the man walking down the street owes nothing to his community, family, or environment.

An "I owe you" is a promissory note; as such, the evidence is clear and a matter of declaration. I promise to pay you back some predetermined amount. The "pay" doesn't have to be in the form of money. However, some debt has been registered in the mind of the promissory.

Public and self-shaming begin when we ignore these promises and act perversely. Remember that this could be a self-sabotaging outcome or simply a refusal to live up to your bargain. The inward and outward examples result in an erosion of trust within societies.

Ambiguity Defines Our Language Instinct

Good writers are those who keep the language efficient. That is to say, keep it accurate, keep it clear.
— Ezra Pound (1885-1972)

The titled responsion is efficient; we can't help ourselves.

I am referring to the evolution of language. As such, language is living. Or is it? It's evident to me that language itself isn't living. However, language has characteristics of a complex living system, an epiphenomenal projection of sorts aggregating in populations. Output, on the other hand, is something that, for me, is a remnant of a production-centric society.

Output is prodigious, meaning impressively great in extent, size, or degree. A rule-based environment is an algorithm by definition. The title responsion for this article is a call for contrast—ambiguity versus efficiency in the language we use, poetic and otherwise.

The environment is and should be front of the mind, in the cortex, with the pathway to prosperity in the data. The overarching theme is one of ecology. How will our information structures be built, and what type of algorithms with they dance to? How do we keep our language accurate and clear when we face so much uncertainty? Self-destruction is a poison pill away from nothingness. How's that for efficiency?

Inconvenient Truths

The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.
— Flannery O'Connor (1925-1964)

The titled responsion is inconvenient at best; at worst, it's indigestion ...

I guess there is an element to lady Veritas where facing the truth of the matter is a hard thing to do. Perhaps we don't all have the stomach to endure, persevere, and swallow what life dishes us. Okay, enough with the gastronomic metaphors; I am just saying they were convenient, especially since I am hungry right now.

Truth, my friend, does not care about who can stomach it or not! It's like saying that food won't give you problems if you don't swallow it. But don't worry; we Greeks can handle the truths even when they are unbearable. And if we can't, there's always good wine to help us face them!

In Greece, we have a saying: "Η αλήθεια είναι πικρή," which translates to "The truth is bitter." This saying implies that the truth can be hard to accept and cause discomfort. However, as Greeks, we know facing the truth is necessary, no matter how difficult. We understand that ignoring the truth can lead to even greater problems in the future.

The concept of the truth not changing according to our ability to stomach it is not new to us. Our history is full of examples of individuals who have faced harsh truths and stood up for what is right, even when it was unpopular or dangerous. One of the most famous examples is Socrates, who faced charges of impiety and corrupting the youth for his beliefs and teachings. Despite the threat of execution, he refused to compromise his principles and chose death rather than betraying his beliefs.

Another example is the resistance of the Greek people during the Nazi occupation in World War II. Despite the brutal occupation and the risk of torture and execution, many Greeks joined the resistance movement and fought against the Nazi regime. They understood that the truth of freedom and democracy was worth fighting for, no matter the cost.

Today, Greece faces many challenges, both economic and political. Many of these challenges are rooted in uncomfortable truths that must be acknowledged and addressed. However, as Greeks, we are unafraid to face these truths and take action to overcome them.

For example, the Greek economic crisis of the past decade was caused by a combination of factors, including corruption, inefficiency, and unsustainable debt. Facing these truths was not easy, but it was necessary for Greece to move forward and rebuild its economy. The Greek people have made many sacrifices to overcome this crisis, and their resilience and determination inspire the world.

In conclusion, the truth may not always be easy to accept, but as Greeks, we understand it is necessary. We are a people who have faced many challenges throughout our history, and we have always stood up for what is right, even when it was difficult. We know that ignoring the truth can lead to even greater problems in the future, and we are committed to facing it head-on. And if we need a little help along the way, we know there is always good wine to make the journey easier!

Just Not at the Expense of Ecology

Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.
