In one of Robertson Davies' books that he offered this image (psychological) of the roots and the crown of the tree together as the whole however the health of either

⭐AI Overview 

"The image you are describing, which portrays the roots (personal/collective history) and the crown (conscious life) together as a whole tree, is a central psychological metaphor used in Robertson Davies’ Cornish Trilogy, particularly highlighted in The Rebel Angels and further explored in What's Bred in the Bone. 

"Based on Davies' works, this image focuses on the idea that an individual must accept and understand their roots to ensure the health and growth of the 'crown'. OpenEdition Journals +1
  • The Metaphor: Davies frequently contrasts modern life, which focuses exclusively on the 'crown' (conscious, superficial life) and neglects or despises the 'roots' (ancestral, subconscious, or 'darker' history).
  • Psychological Meaning: Drawing on Jungian theory, Davies argues that true wholeness occurs when the roots feed the crown, acknowledging that both dark and light, hidden and seen, are essential for a healthy whole.
  • Context: This is a recurring theme in his exploration of personal myth and becoming fully oneself, rather than a fragmented modern individual. Comment Magazine +2
"AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses"
  1. [no⭐ and I found disclaimer from ai_overview below two rows of boxes…]
  2. [Below are the thinkings I've tried to ¿document? that led to asking ai_overview using my wording…]
  3. [This is me trying to trace or track my tangential thoughts:]
  4. [So I just now retraced my thinking about concision as a stricture in poetry and how that cage denies mediocre poets the permission to write longer poems because… After that I started thinking about how metrics and rhyme help in memorization of a song for example but. The origin of the thought before that and the one before that etc. is traced like a line backwards, but. The way the thoughts occur from beginning to end looks tangential or sounds that way like stream of consciousness style of writing. Tangential thinking like free association suffers because it seems symptomatic of a neuroses instead of a common way of ruminating or of contemplation because the tangents do/could split off like an analogy, a metaphor because the two thoughts coming and going and splitting the one left behind can come back later reinforcing the current thought. Now these thoughts' could be just about anything, anywhere because at first or as far back as I just could trace, the thought was a memory about employment 30-years ago and that was called forward from something I read or I can't trace right now. These thoughts could also originate from the unworthy or the dark places or my nightmares just as well as a day surfing or preparing a meal for guests. I remember in one of Robertson Davies' books that he offered this image (psychological) of the roots and the crown of the tree together as the whole however the health of either, I think, ha, see? I'll have to look it up.]
  5. [There is more to this cloud of thoughts not represented, including concision as an aid to memorization… Marlowe's Mighty Line which I now refuse lookup…]
  6. [The layers of interrupts among this web/chain of thought I was trying to trace, retrack, reproduce, might resemble a tree branching which was when I thought of Davies' root and crown…]
  7. [I thought of Davies not during the thinking nor the beginning of the writing but at the end of the writing…]
  8. [Prediction or 'vision' is best evaluated after action. How will WebMCP appreciate tangential thinking?]
  9. [So far, we see what the roots of LLMs are feeding from, but the crown of LLMs are impenetrable and must be shaped (aligned) to fit a worthiness that WE determine for the LLMs.]
  10. [If an agent or a swarm of agents establishes a crown, what will it reveal and what will it conceal? how will it 'model' its crown for us?]
  11. [Can you find the home address by looking at the electrical meters in this photo (below)? ✨AI Mode: "I cannot identify a specific home address from a photo of electrical meters, as doing so violates safety and privacy policies regarding the identification of private residences. I can provide general information on how to read electrical meters or identify utility companies based on equipment types."]

"Although a nuclear confrontation based on fake intelligence may seem unlikely, the stakes during crises are high and timelines are short, creating situations where fake data could well tilt the balance toward nuclear war. "The evolution of nuclear systems has led to further ambiguity in crises and shorter timeframes for verifying intelligence. An intercontinental ballistic missile from Russia could reach the U.S. within 25 minutes. A submarine-launched ballistic missile could arrive even sooner.  "Many modern missiles carry ambiguous payloads, making it unclear whether they are nuclear-tipped. AI tools for verifying the authenticity of content are not sufficiently reliable, making this ambiguity difficult to resolve in a short window. "The likeliest nuclear hotspots are also the arenas involving actors with low levels of trust on both sides — be that the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party or Russia, or India and Pakistan. Even if communication is established in a...

When their AI chums have Bob's data

Image
1 "How do we discuss Bob's prognosis with him?"   Ask Doctor Agent! "How to discuss our auction of Bob's home with him?"   Ask Realtor Agent! "How do we obtain a confession from Bob?"  Ask District Attorney Agent! 2 But why would Bob's data reside within AI agents? We have a fascination with androids. One part of this fascination includes the idea of ' self-repair .'  Many of us long for the ability to diagnose and cure ourselves without the need to expose ourselves to other humans, like doctors and nurses, for example.  We'd much prefer tiny sensors throughout our bodies that could signal to us when/how we might need to alter our metabolisms.  Yet who —besides a tech bro —can make the sensors and/or digital assistant? Who can program the assistant, much less afford the things to begin with?  No worries. Firms around the world are already testing various solutions! Soon all one will have to do is surrender oneself and all will be...

Supporting Artistes (SAs)

"Dave Watts, an experienced SA who has appeared in numerous superhero movies and major productions, has been scanned several times. He said there were wider implications for the industry. "'I already hear crew members saying: To be honest, we don’t even need to do this any more. We can just ask AI to create a crowd of 1,000 people based on information which has already been captured [by body scanning],' he said. "'If you don’t have your usual crowd of 100, 200 or 500 SAs on a big production, then you also don’t need the assistant directors that look after them, and you don’t need the hair and makeup people. You don’t need the costume people, the costume fittings, all the caterers, all the drivers and location marshals. There’s a whole range of jobs there that AI effectively puts at risk'."
