Kineto

  • Notes from the Kickoff Meeting of (drinami) (minutes)
    • It’s good to naturally be late if you’re taking notes, because it’s Modeless.

    • When it comes to that, “What do you really want to manipulate? Time?”

      • drinami
        • I think there’s something there.
        • Without using the word “time”.
        • You can go deeper that way.
        • Is there magic here?
        • Well, “time manipulation” seems to be a good selling point.
        • Manipulating “reality” rather than “real time”.
      • What is time in the first place?
    • Focus on the discussion of what we want to manipulate.

      • There is also a discussion about how only 10% of information is retained when reading a paper book, so maybe we should focus on efficiency.
      • There is also a discussion that using equations in class is not effective if it’s just written on the board.
        • There is a discussion that the speed of writing equations and the speed of understanding are just right.
    • If you add the catchy phrase “manipulating time,” people will stop thinking.

↑ The above is what (drinami) said at the kickoff meeting.

↓ What (blu3mo) thought afterwards

  • What is Time in the first place?

    • Q: What is “sharing time” in the context of communication?
      • I wrote a lot of thoughts on this here —> Sense of Time Sharing
        • In summary,
        • The feeling of “sharing time” is a one-sided sensation for the recipient of information.
          • It is felt when experiencing something (video, reality, etc.) that is the same as the sender of the information.
        • If you look at it that way, face-to-face conversations, Zoom meetings, and comments on Nico Nico Douga are fundamentally no different.
          • The only difference is the delay from when it is sent to when it is received, whether it’s 1ms, 300ms, or 1 year.
          • In an environment where the amount of delay is within an acceptable range, two-way dialogue is possible (e.g. face-to-face conversations, Zoom conversations).
      • The groundbreaking aspect of kineto is that it makes it possible to manipulate this “delay”.
  • What is the essence of what we want to do with kineto?

    • Synchronize the speed of receiving information and the speed of interpreting/understanding it.

      • Eliminate the discrepancy between the two speeds.
      • To do that, manipulate the “delay of time sharing” when receiving the teacher’s information.
    • The key point is that the teacher doesn’t have to share the same time with the students all the time.

      • Because it’s a one-to-many conversation.
      • The students feel like they are “sharing time” with the teacher, but the reverse is not true.
        • It might be difficult for the teacher.
    • If the “delay of time sharing” is below a certain amount, two-way dialogue is possible.

      • With proper adjustments, students with similar amounts of delay can have a conversation.
    • Is it necessary to make the feeling of “sharing time” stronger?

      • It can be argued that it’s not necessary as long as the necessary information is obtained.
      • Maybe we should consider the teacher’s perspective more.
  • In the first place, time is not something that we want to let the user manipulate alone.

    • There is quite a value in doing it automatically.
    • So, “manipulating time” is strange.
    • Free synchronous classes from time constraints.
      • Well, “being able to manipulate” seems like a good selling point.
