@neauoire @320x200 @eli_oat chiming in to share that "what is permacomputing?" has been on my mind for the past months, despite reading both pmc.net and xxiivv wiki; for me it has predominantly been "a vibe" i wonder if in the future there will be a well-defined category twinning with pmc, e.g. consider agroecology: the well-defined study of agriculture within ecological bounds and logics. compare it to permaculture's lack of clear boundaries & definitions, at least wrt academic usage afaiu :) |
@neauoire There's a powerful difference between articulating constraint and tendency.
Constraint: "Use computation only when it has a strengthening effect on the ecosystem." This can seem overwhelming, because we're talking about intrinsically non-linear systems where consequences are hard to predict.
Tendency: "Try to make yourself less and less necessary to the functioning of the ecosystem." Oh cool, now I know which way is up!
