Seed: Time Before Time ...Eternal?
Our universe is expanding and becoming increasingly dilute, and the high-entropy future will be one in which space is essentially empty. But quantum mechanics assures us that empty space is not a quiet, boring place; it's alive and bubbling with quantum fluctuations—ephemeral, virtual particles flitting in and out of existence. ...Thoughts? According to a theory known as the "inflationary universe scenario," all we need is for a tiny patch of space to be filled with a very high density of dark energy—energy that is inherent in the fabric of space itself. ...Choice? That dark energy will fuel a spontaneous, super-accelerated expansion, stretching the infinitesimal patch to universal proportions. ...Creation?

Empty space, in which omnipresent quantum fields are jiggling back and forth, is a natural, high-entropy state for the universe. Eventually (and we're talking about a really, really big eventually) the fluctuations will conspire in just the right way to fill a tiny patch of space with dark energy, ...Ascension? setting off the ultra-fast expansion. To any forms of life arising afterward, such as us, the inflation would look like a giant explosion from which the universe originated, and the quiescent background—the other universes—would be completely unobservable.

Robt.D.McKenzie ...bear with me. I'm thinking with my fingers here:

The tag's scope and meaning is defined by how, where, and from whom it's applied most. That would have a constant process of edit, amendment, and rejection to suit the needs of users. Those who reSearch and develope any given tag as an atom/RSS tagLink should have more influence.

Currently, I intend to use the unusual compoundWords format to indicate tags of interest to me. I've yet developed a satisfactory tags lexicon application that would let me store and recall my tagLinks conveniently.

The tagLinks will be recursive in that they (currently) point to their post in wordZ by permaLink and the post will be edited to include links to where they are used.

reSource:

the tag is the object that brings a resource and a social group together via the shared meaning of a word (although tags also serve to form connections between words and new meanings, as for example when you encounter a link to the Center for Alternative Technology when looking at the tag 'cat').



reMark; This suggests that iterationAccumulation should be part of the definition. ...Doesn't it?

Work vs. ProgressAugust 22 2005
full article by scottberkun.com: "It’s easy to tell when someone is working, but how can you tell when they’re making progress? Simple work, like mowing a lawn or washing a car has transparent progress: as each small unit of work is completed it’s visible to everyone. But with complex work, building software, running a business, writing a novel, it is harder to identify true progress. Some of the work will require thinking and exploration which may go on for hours or days before there are visible results. Other work may involve so many different sub-tasks or conversations with others that there's no way to know how efficiently the work is being done, or if the effort expended is contributing to progressing the project. Complex work, or work with large numbers of people, always makes it harder to separate work from progress."
