Asunto: Re: Toward a Civilization of Collective Intelligence
Dear Pierre
Collective intelligence is based on natural languages, social tagging, folksonomies, etc, to construct a new way of public knowledge and global understanding. Being so, this is an interesting and central concept that announces Web 3.0, where semantic webs are one of the core ideas.
I published some texts, one of which is to be published in 2010 in USA together with some American and Brazilian colleagues, that deal with semantic webs. Another of these texts is my communication in this congress, ?Sociology of Metaverse?, where I try to define some new semantic webs that are nowadays emerging in cyberspace and cybertime. ?Cybertime? is a concept I forged to translate the temporalities that a user activates when he travels across cyberspace.
To be able to interpretate the process of emergence of these semantic webs, I developed a new kind of narrative, GeoNovel, where characters are involved in semantic webs between real and metaversic lives. Their lifes are both developed in real space and cyberspace, and simultaneously in real time and cybertime. More specifically, these characters have not only second lives, but they reconstruct, in daily basis and biasis, multiple metaversic lives.
For instance, such inedit semantic webs that are activated by GeoNovel may be:
1. Transchotomies, which are configurations of concepts that superate the hegemony of dychotomies and of hierarchic relations, which are caracteristic of modernity. For instance, trichotomies are semantic webs made by 3 related concepts.
Ex: patriarchal triangular family, originated in Roman Law.
2. Hybrichotomies, or semantic webs that mix the nature of two opposites.
Ex: a cyborg may constitute an hybrichotomy resulting from a fusion between an animal and a machine.
3. Fuzzycotomies, that is, conceptual webs that organize concepts in a random way.
Ex: a post in a blog suscitates a comment, which is sent in a random way. In other words, the author of a post can receive, randomly, an answer from any place or from any user in the planet. The corresponding social semantic web ?post/comment? is unpredictable, but it is always there, somewhere.
Thus, within this context, my question is: how can these new types of semantic webs contribute to the development of collective intelligence, specially within virtual worlds, both in cyberspace and in cybertime?
All the best and thank you
