“Systems Within Systems” – William Blake, FOIA, Cognitive Sovereignty, and PyMDP social learning

All right, welcome to Active Inference Stream number 3.1 on systems. It's August 31st, 2024. As usual, I'll begin it with fetching the origin, committing many, many updates, pushing them. And while that's writing, here's what's going to happen. We're going to be talking about systems within systems and also whatever else we end up exploring. Touching upon some developments in the code base related to William Blake, FOIA, Freedom of Information Act, Cognitive Sovereignty, and the PyMDP, Social Learning. We'll start it off by making an initial GitHub push. I'll copy everything down below so we can delete from here. GitHub push looks done. Let's reload the repo, double check it's there. And we see pushes now. So we're triple checked live. All right, made the GitHub push. In this opening, the purpose of this stream, or at least one of them, is to explore various views on implementations of and interactions with systems. Let's start by going through several code base developments that I've prepared to show. Please, at any time, feel free to write in the live chat a question or a comment or idea. So I'll go through these three and then another fourth section. At that point, conclude. Along the way or at the end, just write in the live chat if anything is like off with what you're seeing or if you have questions or ideas. Okay. Okay. We are in folder zero, context, systems. And we'll start in the William Blake folder. We're going to look at, through some code methods, William Blake's mentions of systems. Talk about some relevances for modern systems design and look at the applications in the code base. Okay. So within the William Blake folder, there are several scripts and there are several folders. William Blake resources contains files like additional references, just bibliography, hundreds of relevant citations. Blake's works by year and table of contents to Eerdman. Then there's the Eerdman edited complete works of Blake and letters, which is 29,000 lines and the pumps, which is 8,200 lines. As a reminder, in cursor, all of the code base is indexed, whatever the type is. So there's nothing to resync here. Let's double check though. And I'm using cursor 0.40.3. So 40.3. Okay. So a lot of ways to jump in. The poems are great. And this is also just the plain text. This is not the illuminated printing. I'll start with the Blake mentions.py. Right click, open in the integrated terminal, Python 3, Blake mentions.py. What this is going to do is look at the target terms in the top of the document system. That's our focus. But also just to show that it's a little more general. Reason and los. Logging is done. And for each of the terms in the target terms. Where the term is mentioned, ignoring case, three lines before and three lines after get joined into a snippet. And that gets saved into an output file. So here's across that document of Erdmann, which there can be typos. There can be all other sorts of little textual artifacts. Not everything's included. Not all the works remained, etc. But we can explore. Okay. These are the mentions of system in Blake. There's nine of them from this poll. Till a system was formed, etc. I must create a system or be enslaved by another man's. Striving with systems to deliver individuals from those systems. Fixing their systems permanent by mathematic power. To govern the evil by good and states abolish systems. And here begins the system of moral virtue named Rahab. No grand work can have them. They produce system and monotony. Before I begin engraving them. As it will enable me also to regulate a system of working. That will be uniform from beginning to end. So that's kind of a cool way to jump in. And noting that there's many more mentions of these characters, Erdmann and Los. But same principle applies. These are just much longer documents with snippets. Often it's like reading through Blake. There's all these entities. All these things are being mentioned. And so these two entity extraction methods…
