That’s so cool. You could add background chatter too if you haven’t already, you’d just have to amplify the local conversation the user wants to tune into

Edit: by background chatter I mean the noise from all the other conversations happening in the moment nearby

How can something immaterial emerge from something material?

By immaterial experience or phenomenon in this case I mean qualia

"Examples of qualia include the perceived sensation of pain of a headache, the taste of wine, as well as the redness of an evening sky" from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualia

You can tell me the hue of the sky, the brightness, etc, but that's completely different from your actual perceived experience of the sky, which is what consciousness is

Another quote: "what it is like to taste a specific apple, this particular apple now"

I think what would be more handy is a standardization of how APIs should be written across many different domains, to make modules more interoperable.

The result of conceptualizing and abstracting different domains is in as much of a Wild West as it’s ever going to be today.

This reminds me I wanted to research about the theory of marketplaces to understand better how can we improve the market of reusable software components. By that I mean improving the process that we actually use to find and use or create and distribute reusable software components.
