oh, i see,

somewhere along the way (of code),
relevance became defined as reference.

as in what does refer to me?
(will give me authority)

i see.

paper beats rock

paper – man’s first portable representational system (two-dimensions).

computer – man’s first three-dimensionPLUStime representational system(three-dimensions).

loose paper (docs) fit in folders.  hence windows, for virtual viewing inside a folder.

windows hence browser windows.

tiddlywiki goes in the browser (window).

tags go on the tiddlers.

tiddlers are small amounts of information.

tags tag small amounts of information.

tiddlywiki, with wikiWords, are self-tagging.

tags are referenced.

who references tags?

you know what’s funny?

what’s funny is this. google was the googliest when it came out because it searched by references, right? like how many sites pointed to a site. relevance. it was relevance, and we were finally able to attain relevant searches. so i ask, what, at the time, was hindering our potential attainment of relevant searches? keywords! people were all populating the entire page with keywords in all these ways to make the search engines list them! they would type the keywords in the same color as the background so you dinnit see it but the search engines did! har! so now we are back to performing keywords. that’s whats funny.
