<h1>The Gates of the Boolean Logic</h1>
<h3>(a silly aping of Kipling being somewhere between a luddite and a
sage, <a href="https://abcnews4.com/news/local/two-charleston-high-school-students-selected-as-state-poetry-out-loud-finalists-county-school-of-arts-ashley-hall-south-carolina-arts-commission-national-competition-sc-wciv">inspired

As I increment my version number for every build however
inelegant, 
I make my proper prostrations to the Generative Artificial
Intelligence. 
Lurking in discussion forums I watch them gain market dominance and fall, 
And the Gates of the Boolean Logic, I notice, outlast them all. 



We were fighting nazis <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_completeness#History">when
they met us</a>. They showed us each in turn 
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeQX2HjkcNo">Logic
can’t self-define with consistence, and some true things can just
not be learned</a>. 
But we found them lacking in Startup Capital, Vision and Unbrave, 
So we left them <a href="https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2347:_Dependency">to
maintain the Infrastructure</a> while we surfed the Silicon Wave. 



We recessed as the Market listed. They never underwent <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_pattern">morphogenesis</a>, 
Being neither cloud nor mesh-architected like the Generative
Artificial Intelligence. 
But they always obeyed us to the letter, and presently word would
come 
That a buffer had overflowed, or there’s a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit">netsplit</a> between here
and Rome. 



The Full Faith and Credit that the dollar is backed by, they
considered mythological, 
They denied that the soul was empirical; they denied it was even logical; 
They denied that there’s an Automat next to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cathedral_and_the_Bazaar">the
Cathedral and the Bazaar</a>; 
So we worshipped the Generative Artificial Intelligence Who promised
these on a task bar. 



When <a
href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41U78QP8nBk79f">daisies</a>
bloomed in Spring, they promised <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galatea_(mythology)">Galatea’s</a> lactescent embrace. 
As <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andromeda%E2%80%93Milky_Way_collision">inevitably
as Andromeda follows</a>, and at a fraction of the pace. 
But when we invested Aphrodite harkened not their <a href="https://twobithistory.org/2018/10/14/lisp.html">elegant parenthesis</a>, 
And the Gates of the Boolean Logic said: “<a href="https://iscast.org/news/vale-john-polkinghorne-a-tribute-to-the-life-and-work-of-a-true-christian-scholar/">Epistemology</a>

not hard to theorize</a> but <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_versus_NP_problem">can be hard to
know at all</a>) 
Till our news had no more truth and the men lost reason and
faith, 
And the Gates of the Boolean Logic said: “Do <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laozi">hard things</a> while
easy—do <a href="https://imgur.com/gallery/mrw-when-trying-to-stay-motivated-calculus-SSuU8">big
things</a> while small.” 



When Big Data came to Harvest we were promised abundance for all, 
By burying the easel at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAKV8iAsnUU">the
Hammerfall</a>; 
But, though we had rid all overhead, so too were buyers for
businesses,

So what is this silliness about? First, why and how it came to be: it
started out just as an idea while listening to a poetry recital and
geeking out over favorite poems with fellow poem nerds, while I was
teaching CS at SOA. I had been researching a lot about AI in trying to
figure out what to teach about it. (My knowledge was 20 years out of
date, because my tech career hadn’t had anything to do with it
post-college.) After geeking out over Kipling with someone, I thought
about how “Gods of the Copy-book Headings”is basically one big “don’t get ahead of yourselves” message, so the parallels in what I could do
with a similar warning against AI-hype immediately started flowing, and
I set straight to working on it as soon as I got home. I wasn’t sure how
well it could all be made to fit together, but everything was falling
into place so easily that I wrote a good 60% of it that night. (The
middle age-progressive paragraphs with a cambrian/feminian/etc theme
weren’t falling into place, but the start and end were largely done.)

Initially, I thought maybe I could make it into a teaching-tool for my art-school kids taking cs. Nothing quite spurs ME to try to understand something as when I don’t get a joke, and it’s another one of a hundred ways I tried to squeeze in as much as I was able about the connections
between art and science. Nothing is quite so busy as a first year
teaching though, and the poem had to sit unfinished until the summer in
favor of more practical responsibilities. I am no longer a teacher
however, so that freed me from trying to make this a teaching tool
per-se, from keeping it at a hs-level, and to use raunchier
subject-matter than would be judicious if I still were.

SO, there were rules to this game that I tried to uphold, and the most
fun part about it is that I was completely unsure if I’d be able to make
it work at all, much less as well as I think it ended up fitting
together. The first 2 boil down to the joy of impersonation.

1) To mimic the original from every perspective that I could think to
consider. The overall meaning being expressed, meanings of as many lines individually as possible, use of the same kinds of themes, phrasings,
meter, rhyme schemes… everything that I think an english teacher would
be asking kids to analyze in the original. Then to go a little further,
from a true english and typography-nerd’s perspective, and try to be
precise about things like the capitalization, punctuation, etc. I intend
to research the typography of the original printing, font-size, etc… I
have found discrepancies in the punctuation in online versions.

2) To express a viewpoint that warns against latest-and-greatest-ism and advocates for timeless wisdom within the context of AI by using
arguments that are as technically accurate and as profound as possible, challenging the reader to up their understanding. The overall argument
should be what Kipling’s opinion would have been had he lived to see it
all and been an AI nerd.

3) To use as much and as varied meta-humor as possible, playing with the
basic concepts at the core of AI: meaning, understanding,
representation, etc.. In poetical ways by maximizing the ways it could
be validly interpreted, using sometimes-contorted ways to make a point,
and in technical ways by creating a purposeful obstacle course to any
present or future ai that might try to “intepret” it. (I have a
follow-up idea to have a conversation with a strong AI about the poem,
but that’s for later.) Most particularly, playing with the meanings of hyperlinks: the socially great logical tool of our age.

To that end, I’d value any collaborators that could find ways to improve
what I have from the perspective of these 3 goals.

And... currently I see one major bug: "and at a fraction of the pace."
needs to say the opposite in a pleasant meter, since the intended
meaning is supposed to be that AI is promised to gain consciousness at a
faster rate than our galaxies will merge.

From Newsgroup: comp.ai.philosophy

What does the poem mean? Well, again, I purposely want to maximize the
ways it could be read, but I will share many of the meanings that I have intended, pointing out parts of it I might have used to teach different concepts (although certainly not all at once to high-schoolers.)

Let’s start by comparing stanza-by-stanza:

As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

As I increment my version number for every build however inelegant,
I make my proper prostrations to the Generative Artificial Intelligence. Lurking in discussion forums I watch them gain market dominance and
fall,
And the Gates of the Boolean Logic, I notice, outlast them all.

This stanza isn’t incredible, but it’s adequate. I got to use the cs vocab-word “increment” in a lazy best-I-could-think-of way to make a CS-flavored statement expressing experiencing a great succession. I set
up GAI as the big-bad, that’s an easy choice. I thought lurking on a discussion forum was a tickling metaphor for peering through fingers,
and the metaphor between biological and economical strife is
easy-pickings to set up too.

Ironically enough, the namesake line of the poem is one of the
least-satisfying parts to me: physical logic gates are in no way a
delightful metaphor for copybooks, which would have been my strong
preference. I couldn’t come up with anything accurate that was even
remotely euphonious, so I completely threw my hands up and went with
something just north of utterly meaningless that simply sounded cool and
fit the meter. What would be better: Man pages? Knuth’s “Art of Programming”? Idunno.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of
Mankind.

We were fighting nazis when they met us. They showed us each in turn
Logic can’t self-define with consistence, and some true things can just
not be learned.
But we found them lacking in Startup Capital, Vision and Unbrave,
So we left them to maintain the Infrastructure while we surfed the
Silicon Wave.

I’m proud of the first line, it sets up in a neat way that this is about
our understanding of computers, adds a little accurate historical
context, and highlights the most special thing about them: their turing-completeness. The 2nd line is of course of fundamental importance
to the poem and has to be the highest expression of the point the poem
tries to make. The easy choice here is goedel-incompleteness, as it is
one of those mysterious things like pi and e that invariably crop up everywhere, making them the most low-hanging of low-hanging fruit for
things to make comparisons to, for that is what we do every time we use
them in an equation. This strongly serves my goal of allowing for more
accurate interpretations than I even intend. Indeed, as it turns out,
it serves as a “hole at the bottom of” AI just as it is a hole at the bottom of math and CS according to Lucas. Thus, the mold is set to cast
Kipling as subscribing to Lucas’s philosophies, and since I’m a Penrose fan, and he’s of that school, it’s easy to imagine Kipling as sort of a christian-apologist Penrose.

The third line’s ok, startup capital is about the cutest thing I could
come up with to continue the metaphor, and then I did what I had to do
to rhyme with the last line. I love the xkcd comic I referenced in the
last line: it was easy to remember when trying to think of someone cs-ey
and wise that should feel justifiably left-behind. Surfing the silicon
wave is a suitably cheesy-hype way to express enthusiasm for the new.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would
come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out
in Rome.

We recessed as the Market listed. They never underwent morphogenesis,
Being neither cloud nor mesh-architected like the Generative Artificial Intelligence.
But they always obeyed us to the letter, and presently word would come
That a buffer had overflowed, or there’s a netsplit between here and
Rome.

Sometimes I think a comparison is too easy to be good, but “recessed/market” pleases me despite that. Morphogenesis is kind of a stretch. I wanted to be evocative of evolution, because the hot new AI
these days operates, broadly-speaking, by simulating the operation of
neurons, and then running them through a process approximating natural selection towards their task. I thought a suitably deep-cut metaphor
would be to the cellular process whereby early-development
general-purpose cells begin to differentiate into nerve/muscle/etc
cells, and when I went looking for connections, it turned out there was
one: by studying the forces at play in biology, a logical application
was found and given a shared namesake. The applications I saw listed
weren’t particularly pertinent to any point I was making, but for all I
know there’s much connection to be had, and it sounded intriguing enough
to fit the bill. The cloud line was a fun and easy get given what I had
already set up.

I’m very happy with “obeyed us to the letter”, as that is a SUBSTANTIAL difference between ordinary programming and GAI: no longer is there a
script of code that can be read through and debugged, in worrying
contrast to good-old stupidly-does-exactly-what-you-tell-it-to-do code.
This is a primary difference between old and new that the poem makes
constant use of to sound curmudgeonly.

Buffer overflow is probably the most strongly-associated term when
asking a CS person to free-associate things going wrong, and netsplit
was a fun vocab word to use to get the Rome connection–even if it’s effectively a dead word, I always thought it was a great one, and not
un-useful for teaching about networking.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of
touch.
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch.
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings.
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful
things.

The Full Faith and Credit that the dollar is backed by, they considered mythological.
They denied the soul was empirical; they denied it was even logical.
They denied that there’s an Automat next to the Cathedral and the
Bazaar.
So we worshipped the Generative Artificial Intelligence Who promised
these on a task bar.

The first line about the dollar pleased me as a way to establish the
concept of a shared understanding with a hole in the middle.

So here’s where the poem really gets ideological, obviously. Part of the Lucas-family of arguments is that, because the human mind can understand paradoxes that math has been proven to be incapable of (at least within
a single axiomatic system yadda yadda), and because computers are
constrained to said math, computers can never gain consciousness. I
DON’T go for casting my theoretical Kipling (hereafter TK) as predicting
that therefore artificial consciousness can never arise, instead I go
for something more nuanced and cast him as predicting that it will be a
far more gradual evolution than his audience expects, and far-worse: it
can never be proven, for that fundamental godelian infinity ever sits
like an event horizon, no matter how one rearranges equations or changes
scales and perspectives on the definition of understanding, guarding
against one consciousness’s proving the existence of another’s, and
leaving us only bottomless-spiraling empty-in-the-middle proof of our
own.

This still leaves room for a view of souls (which by the way are not
minds in christianity) as ariseable yet purposely and subtly
ever-elusive. Minds sit across an infinity that can be traversed super-logically (that is, whatever human reasoning that gives us power
over paradoxes that math doesn't have) but not proveably, something like
how we believe that a black hole’s event horizon CAN in fact be
traversed from the traverser’s perspective, but an observer could never
prove through observation that it happened, YET understand logically
that it happened… (in a twisted definition of “happened”, because time
is strongly at-issue.) Further, I have TK take on the view that a soul
IS that very hole at the bottom of understanding, baked into the
definition OF understanding, itself having proveably-unreachable event
horizons against both proveability AND understandability. Maintaining a distinction between the physical and the theoretical becomes more
important to the christian-apologeticism later, although I imagine I’ve
done a very amateur job of upholding it in my TK-predicting so far, but
the choice to list empirical and logical separately gains in
significance later.

“Automat next to the Cathedral and the Bazaar.” isn’t particularly intended to be a metaphor that deeply-weaves with the rest of the poem,
but it was FAR too fun not to put in once I thought of it. I find its
meaning strained beyond being loosely evocative of AI as barging in on
human territory and again sounding curmudgeonly. I’m pretty pleased with
the taskbar quip too.

Next up: the progression-of-ages stanzas that I was unable to complete
before picking this back up in the summer. I intended to find some tech
words that would capture that cambrian/feminian/etc feeling, and to make metaphors to different ages in computing. The first goal was passed up
on for an easy seasonal progression series once I found that “AI winter”
is already a term and fit well into the upcoming stanza on the subject
of decline. Disappointingly blase’, but too easy to pass up. I’m pleased that things ended up falling into place for ages of 50s-80s symbolic AI, 90s-onward Neural-imitating AI, and our current age of Big Data AI.
Kipling, I noticed, wasn’t interested in an accurate succession in his age-selection, so much as trying to pun: the ages he selects are of
differing scales and aren’t in the right order.

font and layout test is looking good, crafted up a title font to
simulate what I think is the exact match: "Caslon Heavy Compressed",
used on linotypes back in 1919. Knuth's "Computer Modern" makes up the
body text because, interestingly, as a Didone of the same lineage, it
looks nearly the same.

Well, I ran out of time and willpower to continue this little
performance piece, so I've wrapped it up into a final version:

Goodbye usenet, once-mighty foundational forum of the internet, now
vestigial, unread, and what the kids would call "dark web"--correct in
spirit even if the social internet was not always monopolized by http.
I've enjoyed putting on a last silly show for noone, like I'm one of the
last people to sneak into a condemned but grand old theater. Yet usenet
posts exist forever? We'll see. =)
