Philosophical engeniering I

by Judo73 — 30/12/2017 13:46 — Public note

- Web Science : we make discoveries and we are also surprised by our own creation

- Specifications

- Language is composed of words / Internel is composed of Urls

- When we design web protocols, we actually get a chance to define and create the way a new world works.

- To define what words mean. You can define philosophy to define a new world.

- "When people write a specification, they argue about what words mean until everyone assumes that they mean in some sense the same thing. When the concepts in different people's brains have been sufficiently well-aligned and there have been enough connections between the concepts, this is written down in a language that people feel comfortable with and that they share."
