kanzurefenn: I still dislike object-orientation. "You have to realize the truth? The truth? That there is no spoon." That's not a proper answer .. what's the alternative to calling 'it' a spoon?01:42
fennbleh? i dont know what you're talking about. what's the context?01:43
kanzuredesign compiler01:43
kanzurecompiling processes together to make objects, mehh01:43
kanzurewhen in the first place it was the processes that we cared about01:44
fennum, fitness function describing the requirements of a spoon?01:44
kanzureenergy/matter transformation (chem -> mechanical junctions, or various ratchet functionality, etc.)01:44
kanzureoh01:44
kanzureis that the equiv?01:44
kanzureI mean, I've considered it01:44
kanzurebut it sounds wrong? Because you still have to 'evolve the object', no?01:44
kanzureI guess it's a general region in parameter space01:44
fennno, you can maktop-down design a spoon and then it "becomes" a spoon because it satisfies the fitness function01:44
fenns/maktop/top/01:45
kanzureand when it comes down to the physical manufacturing?01:45
fennif your test case fails, the function is probably worng01:45
fenni guess that's just test driven development01:45
kanzureIt looks like some papers that I was reading last night had realtime 'structure data  => actual motor changes'01:45
kanzurehrm, but what about the reconfigurability of the machinery aspect01:46
kanzure(dynamic 'static physical ISA' -- or dynamical runtime realtime physical ISA)01:46
fenndifferent layer.. that's the cam/inventory layer01:46
fennhowever, the machinery can be represented as a set of functions and interfaces01:46
fennthe same functions that you use in the unit tests/fitness functions01:47
kanzurewhat I wanted to do was sit down and write out the methodology to 'make a spoon', and I couldn't01:47
kanzureI figured I'd just use some processes for molding or something01:47
fennthere are many ways to make a spoon01:47
kanzureI just don't like objects, but it's hard since our grammars are object-oriented01:47
kanzureyep01:48
