cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.

Lack of common vocabulary for programming systemsquestion0.770
What if the spaces of the page opened to show all the alternatives and variations, sources and materials, references and combinatoric possibilities latent within it?question0.762
Imagines a page that reveals its hidden combinatorial potential.
What are the appropriate boundaries for analyzing a programming system?question0.759
Raised via Java/Eclipse example; boundaries significantly affect analysis and are a design choice (minimal vs. realistic systems).

Are there non-iterative processes that can effectively explore a Vast state space of possibilities?question0.739
Open question about whether evolution/development are the only routes to exploring atypical possibility space.
"We could continue to invent new and exciting mechanisms beyond context-orientation and Worlds, ad absurdum, or recognise they are all just points within a dimensionally unbounded space of related, self-similar mechanisms."concept0.735
Claim that many advanced programming paradigms reduce to parameterizations of the n-way associative model.
Programming Systemconcept0.735
Defined as an integrated and complete set of tools sufficient for creating, modifying, and executing programs, including notations, facilities, and interfaces—broader than programming languages alone.
