Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Endo-, Dia-, Para-, and Ecto-systemic novelty, published by Tsvi Benson-Tilsen on April 23, 2023 on The AI Alignment Forum. [Metadata: crossposted from. First completed January 10, 2023. This essay is more like research notes than exposition, so context may be missing, the use of terms may change across essays, and the text might be revised later; only the versions at tsvibt.blogspot.com are definitely up to date.] Novelty can be coarsely described as one of: fitting within a preexisting system; constituting a shift of the system; creating a new parallel subsystem; or standing unintegrated outside the system. Thanks to Sam Eisenstat for related conversations. Novelty is understanding (structure, elements) that a mind acquires (finds, understands, makes its own, integrates, becomes, makes available for use to itself or its elements, incorporates into its thinking). A novel element (that is, structure that wasn't already there in the mind fully explicitly) can relate to the mind in a few ways, described here mainly by analogy and example. A clearer understanding of novelty than given here might clarify the forces acting in and on a mind when it is acquiring novelty, such as "value drives". Definitions "System" ("together-standing") is used here to emphasize the network of relations between elements of a mind. These terms aren't supposed to be categories, but more like overlapping regions in the space of possibilities for how novelty relates to the preexisting mind. Endosystemic novelty (or "basis-aligned" or "in-ontology") is novelty that is integrated into the mind by fitting alongside and connecting to other elements, in ways analogous to how preexisting elements fit in with each other. Endosystemic novelty is "within the system"; it's within the language, ontology, style of thinking, conceptual scheme, or modus operandi of the preexisting mind. Diasystemic novelty (or "cross-cutting" or "basis-skew" or "ontological shift") is novelty that is constituted as a novel structure of the mind by many shifts in many of the preexisting elements or relations, adding up to something coherent or characteristically patterned. Diasystemic novelty is "throughout the system"; it's skew to the system, cross-cutting the preexisting schemes; it touches (maybe subtly) many elements, many relations, or certain elements that shape much of the mind's activity, hence altering the overall dynamics or character of the system. Parasystemic novelty is novelty that is only loosely integrated into the whole mind, while being more tightly integrated within a subsystem of the mind. Parasystemic novelty is "alongside the system"; it's neither basis-aligned (since it's outside preexisting tightly integrated systems) nor cross-cutting (as it doesn't touch most of the system, or require most of the system for its constitution). Ectosystemic novelty is novelty that is merely juxtaposed or appended to the mind, without being really integrated. Ectosystemic novelty is "on or outside the system"; it's external, only loosely related to the mind, as by a narrow interface or by an external aggregration mechanism. It differs from parasystemic novelty by being even less integrated, and by not nucleating or expanding a tightly integrated subsystem. Analogies Analogy: If a language is like a mind, then a new word would be endosystemic novelty; a sound shift or (more properly) a grammatical innovation would be diasystemic (cross-cutting) novelty; specialized languages (such as scientific jargon), and dialect formation, would be parasystemic novelty; and an encounter with a foreign language would be ectosystemic novelty. Pidgins, being unstable and noncanonical, witness the ectosystemic nature: the foreign languages don't integrate. Creoles, however, could be dubbed "systemopoetic novelty"--like parasystemic novel...
Episode 239 of The Rich Dickman Show: Let's Go Cricket Team! It's Cody's Birthday Show and we didn't go all out. Cody runs the vacuum while Rem defends himself against Matt from NFHC. Cody is proud of Randy...for a second, and Randy has gifts - new bumpers! Randy mistakenly spells "shit" right, so we discuss making AI bots to carry on the podcast. McDonald's messes Alexa up, and we learn not to mess with Taylor Swift as we give AI a shot at the intro. Cody gets a Steam deck to play Half Life 2 while Randy tries to pass school uniforms as a prank; Rem messes with his son, and Stephen who hides a spider and makes people pee their pants! A math major needs help with an avocado problem - avocados are from Mexico - but Rem saves the segment without answering it. Take calculator 55378008 and turn it upside down; then solve this complicated problem about rats that has Cody being quite dickish for 20 minutes before Stephen addresses crypto situation & Epstein didn't Epstein himself (the literal devil does VO for our new bumper). Learn how keeping people dependent on you gives power & Matty watches cricket with money on line before Steve Irwin's Drop Bear Episode discussion ensues followed by Cocaine Bear talk & Pidgins carrying molley in NYC where Svenson weighs in with great comment before Cody gets gift while teaching Rem Buddhism to end the show.

El contacto entre lenguas produce variedad de situaciones y resultados distintos. Los sistemas lingüísticos se influyen mediante préstamos léxicos y gramaticales. Hablamos de fenómenos derivados del contacto entre lenguas, como la convergencia (p. ej. la Sprachbund de los Balcanes), la sustitución de lenguas, la alternancia de códigos (p. ej. el Spanglish) y sobre todo la pidginización y la criollización. ??

Today's episode is all about Pidgin and Creole languages with enthusiast Amarinder from the US. ===================
Language encapsulates every part of a culture, from its history of ideas to the way its speakers perceive reality itself. And according to linguistics expert Arika Okrent, author of "In the Land of Invented Languages," even "made-up" languages like Klingon and Esperanto serve an important purpose. She joins the Curiosity Podcast to discuss the field of linguistics and why we say what we say. In addition to her first-level certification in Klingon, Arika Okrent's education includes an M.A. in Linguistics from Gallaudet, the world's only university for the deaf, and a joint PhD from the Department of Linguistics and the Department of Psychology's Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience Program at the University of Chicago.

Language Made Difficult, Vol. XXXIV — The SpecGram LingNerds are joined by once again by returning guest Devan Steiner. After some Lies, Damned Lies, and Linguistics, the LingNerds discuss whether or not all the forms of "to be" in Indo-European languages are derived from Arabic roots (hint: they're not!), and take on Comprehensive Exam Questions in computational linguistics, pidgins, phonology, and more.
