Hi Mark,
We at canonizer.com are using and defining canonize in a new way, or giving it a new, or additional definition.
Where as the traditional meaning is based on a hierarchy or “ecclesiastical definition” our meaning is simply crowd sourced or built by consensus. Instead of top down, it is bottom up. Instead of dictated from above, it is self-organized, bottom up.
Where the traditional usage is based on tradition, our usage is dynamic, and always changing. It is a measure of the state of the art of a standard scientific consensus, theory, and belief.
It is simply what the participants build consensus around what they want, and the current state of the art of the best terminology we chose to use.
At canonizer.com, to “canonize” something, is to find out, concisely and quantitatively, what everyone truly wants or believes. Then once that is known, to get it all, for everyone.
John/Gregg:
This is *classic* . . . !!
John is PRINT and Gregg is ELECTRIC. Two different "sensibilities."
How could they possibly "agree" on anything . . . ??
The irony, of course, is that this is only happening because they are
*both* now obsolete. Both distantly in the "rear-view mirror." Both
looking backwards.
From an ELECTRIC standpoint, we all have different "language
systems." From a PRINT standpoint, we can actually try to sort all
this out -- "scientifically."
In both cases, the underlying "biases" are masked. Neither
standpoints recognizes that fundamentally different
psycho-technological environments are at work. And neither will those
who participate in the "Canonizer" game.
Crucially, neither wants to admit that DIGITAL brings a completely
different sensibility to the "debate."
Yes, this is classic . . . <g>
Mark
P.S. The irony is that a "Canon" isn't either PRINT or ELECTRIC. And
it cannot be decided by a "vote." It is SCRIBAL -- as in "Canon Law."
What a world of surprises awaits us all.
