Posthumous work of the Colombian poet born in Don Matias on January 20, 1948.

Welcome to this blog dedicated to the Posthumous work of the Colombian poet Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares (my father), born in Don Matias on January 20, 1948-2010. Where I will be publishing each of the 175 sonnets from his unpublished collection 'Sonnets For The Twenty-First Century And A Circadian Musical (1984-1987).' Analyzed with GPT4 artificial intelligence and illustrated with AI tools... I hope you enjoy this garden of words snatched from the solitude of a locked room.

Likewise, any enthusiast of the sonnet form is invited to conduct their personal studies of Arroyave Tabares' work, as it is a collection that, although registered since 1989, has not yet been published.

Analysis "Moon Fulness"

Introduction

The sonnet "Moon Fulness" by Francisco Luis Arroyave Tabares beautifully explores the influence of the moon on nature and human emotions. follows the traditional structure of a sonnet, which is divided into an octave (the first eight lines) and a sestet (the last six lines).

Thematic Analysis

In the octave, the poet describes a day where flowers welcome bees with nectar, leading to the multiplication of trees. However, these trees are prey to the instincts of city-building men. As night falls, the chicks mourn in their nests, but they are comforted by the moon’s gaze, which sees into the earth where everything is in harmony. The octave ends with the poet standing under the moonlight, ready to offer his gifts (or love).

The sestet begins with the poet imagining the full moon reflected in rivers, oceans, hearts, and glances. He also sees it in Mnemosyne, the mother of the Muses, symbolizing inspiration. The moon, personified as Luna, gives birth amid shining silvers, sparking a flair for romance in the poet. The sonnet concludes with a metaphorical image of stars entering the poet’s golden limousine, suggesting that he is filled with inspiration and ready to embark on a creative journey.

The transition from the octave to the sestet marks a shift from a more concrete description of nature and the environment to a more abstract and personal reflection on inspiration and creativity. The moon serves as a central symbol, representing both the natural world and the source of the poet’s inspiration. The sonnet beautifully intertwines these themes, demonstrating the interconnectedness of nature, inspiration, and the creative process.

B: trees (line 3)
A: touring (line 4)
A: mourning (line 5)
B: sees (line 6)
B: agrees (line 7)

I have recently launched Wikifreedia, which is a different take on how Wikipedia-style systems can work.

Yes, it's built on nostr, but that's not the most interesting part.

The fascinating aspect is that there is no "official" entry on any topic. Anyone can create or edit any entry and build their own take about what they care about.

Think the entry about Mao is missing something? Go ahead and edit it, you don't need to ask for permission from anyone.

Stuart Bowman put it best on a #SovEng hike:

The path to truth is in the integration of opposites.

Since launching Wikifreedia, less than a week ago, quite a few people asked me if it would be possible to import ALL of wikipedia into it.

Yes. Yes it would.

I initially started looking into it to make it happen as I am often quick to jump into action.

But, after thinking about it, I am not convinced importing all of Wikipedia is the way to go.

The magical thing about building an encyclopedia with no canonical entry on any topic is that each individual can bring to light the part they are interested the most about a certain topic, it can be dozens or hundreds, or perhaps more, entries that focus on the edges of a topic.

Whereas, Wikipedia, in their Quijotean approach to truth, have focused on the impossible path of seeking neutrality.

Humans can't be neutral, we have biases.

Show me an unbiased human and I'll show you a lifeless human.

Biases are good. Having an opinion is good. Seeking neutrality is seeking to devoid our views and opinions of humanity.

Importing Wikipedia would mean importing a massive amount of colorless trivia, a few interesting tidbits, but, more important than anything, a vast amount of watered-down useless information.

All edges of the truth having been neutered by a democratic process that searches for a single truth via consensus.

"What's the worst that could happen?"

Sure, importing wikipedia would simply be one more entry on each topic.

Yes.

But culture has incredibly strong momentum.

And if the culture that develops in this type of media is that of exclusively watered-down comfortable truths, then some magic could be lost.

If people who are passionate or have a unique perspective about a topic feel like the "right approach" is to use the wikipedia-based article then I would see this as an extremely negative action.

An alternative

An idea we discussed on the #SovEng hike was, what if the wikipedia entry is processed by different "AI agents" with different perspectives.

Perhaps instead of blankly importing the "Napoleon" article, an LLM trained to behave as a 1850s russian peasant could be asked to write a wiki about Napoleon. And then an agent tried to behave like Margaret Thatcher could write one.

Etc, etc.

Embrace the chaos. Embrace the bias.
