Myths of the Veritas: The Tale of Three Blind Mice
Many Paths sighed. âWhat do you mean by saying that it has all happened before, brother of mine?â Tu-Swift glanced back at Cat Eyes. Surely, Cat Eyes would be able to explain better than he could. But he could see that her parents Tree Vines and Gathers Acorns smothered her with affection, so he resolved to try to explain. âThroughout time, people have been prosperous for a time and then ruinedâŠ

If You're so Smart, Why aren't you Rich?
Photo by Julius Silver on Pexels.com âIf youâre so smart, why arenât you rich?â Have you ever heard that expression? Perhaps you have even hurled it at someone in frustration. Or, perhaps youâve had other people hurl it at you. Maybe both. But have you ever analyzed what such a statement really means? Have you ever heard someone say, âIf youâre so smart, why canât you jump higher?â Or, haveâŠ

Myths of the Veritas: Stories, then Plans
There are some things whose memory we retain throughout our lifetime. Some remember their first look through a telescope or a microscope. Some remember their first taste of alcohol or coffee. Many remember their first kiss. All remember the first time they held their newborn baby and grandchild. So too, was it among the Veritas. Tree Vines and Gathers Acorns immediately recognized the voice ofâŠ

Myths of the Veritas: Homecoming
Many Paths trotted over to the location specified by the drum rolls. Her eyes skimmed over the path ahead, skipping from one good landing spot to another. She gave a little chuckle as she reminded herself that there was no need for another sprain in the family. Images of her brother Tu-Swift and her lover Shadow Walker both loomed into her mindâs eye. She missed both of them so much. She believedâŠ

Myths of the Veritas: Many Paths Finds Many Keys
Many Paths frowned. She looked down at the wrinkly old lady who had been â and still was â her mentor, her shaman, her friend. She Who Saves Many Lives was drifting off to sleep but with a smile on her face, despite the difficulties and discomfort of the Red Spider Plague. Many Paths herself smiled. Even in sleep, the old Shaman made her feel better.She decided to let her mentor sleep. Many PathsâŠ

The Myths of the Veritas: Night Moves
Shadow Walker sat in silence at the edge of the dimly lit âRoyal Chamber.â It was his turn to âstand watchâ and though he had trained his mind to concentrate, his mind nonetheless wandered from time to time. He thought of many things, but mainly of Many Paths. Despite the myriad talents of Eagle Eyes, he wished Many Paths were there instead. The mind of Many Paths was well suited to thinkingâŠ

Caturdaze -- An Ode
Every Saturday, My cats all say: âMeowâ Yet, somehow I always know just what they mean: âEvery day In every way Should be a catabration of the Feline Way. Whether alley strays Or pedigreed back to Nile days, Fluffy, stuffy, agile leaper, Or stalking skinny spotted creeper, Sidling, sliding quite unseen, We cats will all remind Your leaky, roiling educated mind Of thisâŠ

Cedars Sighing in the Wind
Cedars Sighing in the Wind Photo by Tomas Balogh on Pexels.com When Cat Eyes had finished reading aloud the story of The Wobby Man, she put aside what the ancients called a âbookâ and looked expectantly at Tu-Swift. He seemed lost in thought â tortured thoughts filled with thorns â by his visage. Cat Eyes stood and grabbed a nearby water pouch. Reading aloud made her thirsty. She sat back downâŠ

Myths of the Veritas: Stoned Soup
âTu-Swift, we are learning so much from the library we uncovered. Just as you came, I was putting the final touches on a translation of a story about Stoned Soup, Would you like to hear it?â âYes! Whatâs it about, Cat Eyes?â Cat Eyes smiled. âWell, Iâll tell you the story and you tell me what you think it means. Here. Come sit beside me.â She patted the rough-hewn bench she sat upon. âYou canâŠ

"The Psychology of Design"
âThe Psychology of Designâ I worked at IBM, all told, about 28 years. During that time, management put increasing pressure on us to make our work ârelevantâ to the business. In fact, the pressure was always there, even from the beginning. Over the years, however, we were âencouragedâ to shorten evermore the time gap between doing the research and having the results of that research impact theâŠ

Walston & Felix Multiple Regression Study
As I mentioned recently, when I first arrived at IBM Research in the early 1970âs I began to work on Query By Example and other schemes to make it easier for non-programmers to interact productively but flexibly with computers. Some of the lessons learned have to do, not with my own work, but with the work of others. At that time, some researchers labelled their work as âThe Psychology ofâŠ

Design - Interpretation Model of Communication
In my early days at IBM Research (1970âs), we were focused on trying to develop, test, or at least conceive of ways that a larger proportion of people would be able to use computers. One of the major ways of thinking about this was to use natural language communication as a model. After all, it was reasoned, people were able to communicate with each other using natural language. This meant thatâŠ

Whom to Trust?
âWhom can I trust?â Shadow Walker paced, his energy still high from his second brush with death since becoming the âKingâ of the Z-Lotz. He didnât wait for Eagle Eyes to answer and instead âran ahead without his footwearâ as the Veritas liked to say. âI mean who? I am supposed to be their King! Can you imagine someone plotting to overthrow or kill Many Paths?â Eagle Eyes nodded. âYes, I can. IfâŠ

Shadow Walker and Eagle Eyes spoke softly to each other in their native tongue â Veritas â as they explored their âHouse of the King.â They wanted to plan without being overheard. Shadow Walker suggested, âAt no time should both of us be asleep. I think I can trust our three ministers, but I am not sure. Cat Eyes told us that most of the Z-Lotz do not even believe the myths and legends that theyâŠ

A Successful Project
A successful project. Who doesnât like those? But what exactly *is* a successful project? Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Some are quick to reply (and that very quickness might be an indicator of indoctrination more than conscious choice) that a project is successful if it meets its objectives and is on time and within budget. I have to admit that seems logical and tidy. In comparing twoâŠ
