I can only think that if we were able to connect with each other at each phase, in the final phases at least, I wouldn’t have had to justify or rationalize the decisions that I made– they would have been accepted and understood as completely plausible and intentional. It was their support that allowed this project to move forward, which I am grateful for, but also their misconceptions that brought it to an end. It’s a mammoth struggle to do this now– I really wish it wasn’t necessary. In any case, I still need to placate the investors. I wish that I had recalled this earlier, though, as it reminds me of the difficulty in altering conventions, or, more to the point, the way I needed to alter them in this particular situation.
Regardless, I don’t remember the text entirely– it’s been a long time since I’ve read the story and my question may or may not pertain to the statement exactly. I vaguely recall Humpty Dumpty pointing out to Alice, in response to her inquiry regarding the significance of language or how you can make words mean different things, that “The question is, which is to be Master– that’s all.” I’ve never determined whether this meant a master language or a master of a specific language.
Fortunately, none of this will have any effect on my personal life. It seems almost by accident this happened, and there is really only one, possibly two, ways to manage this. Of course, none of this came true, and I’m left in this insufferable situation. But this particular result was an absolute catastrophe and there’s no going back.įrom the initial moment of conceptualizing this project, I struggled to convey to them that this would, given the proper time and energy, yield successful results, or at the very least results that would bolster my early theories. I realize now that it’s vitally important to use improper priors as a zero-point for constructing maximum entropy priors, and that common-sense reasoning or simple physical constraints would have permitted the construction of a defensible proper prior.
It’s the not knowing that’s the frustrating part. Edwards in reference to his text: Queries and Concepts in Bayesian Analysis. The artist commented on this text and discussed his practice at the opening reception January 15, 2005.
