I've been coming up with diagrams of various dominant regions. Here is the one for America. Each dominant region has a gestation period. For America this was 1601 - 1825. Each dominant region then has an advancement period during which the advancement of civilization is tied to them. For America this was 1825 - 1937. Then each dominant region has a post advancement period. The post-advancement period is roughly divided into three sections. The first section is dominance, in which the region is still the dominant region in the world even though the mantle of world advancement has passed to another region (in this case Japan). For America this period was roughly 1937 - 1974. The second period is the period of stable decline, during which the region may be at times dominant but is usually experiencing some form of decline worsening as the period continues. Predicting major disruption points during this period is difficult. For America this period is 1975 - 2037. The final period consists of dissolution and collapse. Something breaks permanently in the dominant region's system. For America this period is likely to be from 2038 - 2049.
Here is the Chart:
Each of the words in my list of 5000 words has what I call an
endeme. An endeme is a particular ordering of an orderable combinable list
of things which together form a new concept. This is the heart of my approach to
Artificial Creativity.
For example my endeme for the word 'profile' is QMCHBSRAPKUGVIEDNOTJF
Where A=area, B=biology, C=change, D=directive, E=express, F=feeling,
G=goodness, H=human, I=incident, J=movement, K=category, M=mental,
N=newness, O=object, P=physical, Q=quantity, R=resource, S=system,
T=temporal, U=ugly, V=quality.
To build the search engine, I would have each site defined in the database
by four or more words. Each word having an endeme, the endemes could be
cascaded together to provide a unique endeme for the site.
The first word would be weighted more heavily than the second, the
second more than the third and so on.
When people searched the site their search would also be converted to
an endeme and those sites that have the most similar endemes would be
returned first.
