determinative due process

An alternative forum to Substantive and procedural process to determine agency scope and duty in hearing of claims to asses which duties are subject to which agencies.

We'll need an arbiter educated in multiple fields to handle this agency cluster fuck. The procedural process is taking too long, we need to find out which agency to talk to so we'll need to run a determinative due process assessment.

Crickey Mate! I was up all night getting a didgeridoo out of an Abo’s bum! Again! And now I have to do a bleeding Redo’s Procedure with an assistant from Perth who can’t tell an Allis from a pair of Springs.

Creative Language Processing

An approach to natural language processing that goes beyond understanding and generating text to genuinely creative engagement with language. Creative Language Processing would grasp not just meaning but implication, not just context but possibility. It would play with words, invent new concepts, generate unexpected connections. It would understand metaphor not just as pattern but as creation. The difference between processing language and creating with language—between comprehension and imagination.

"Standard NLP extracted the sentiment from my poem. Creative Language Processing wrote me a response poem that extended my metaphor into realms I hadn't considered. It didn't just understand what I wrote; it understood what I was reaching for—and reached further."

Bed of Procrustes Theory

The theory, named after the Greek myth of Procrustes who stretched or cut victims to fit his bed, that we systematically force complex reality into oversimplified categories, distorting what we see to fit our preconceptions. Bed of Procrustes Theory argues that our models, theories, and categories are Procrustean beds: we stretch and cut reality to make it fit, ignoring what doesn't conform, emphasizing what does. This is inevitable—we need categories to think—but dangerous when we forget we're doing it. The theory calls for vigilance, for attending to what our models exclude, for remembering that the map is not the territory. It's the epistemological foundation of humility, the reminder that reality is always richer than our representations.

Example: "His political theory neatly categorized everyone as left or right. But people are messy, complex, contradictory. The Bed of Procrustes Theory showed him what he was doing: stretching and cutting real people to fit his categories, ignoring what didn't fit. His theory was neat; reality was messy. He had to choose which to trust."
