Your need to say, “Hey look here at this” and then articulate something clearly
TGN OPEN CODE is proposed open source development that conceptually is v2.0 of the earlier work but structured on an entirely different architecture/mechanism that solves significant problems in v1.0 with both intelligibility and portability. TGN OPEN CODE is designed as borderless / de-siloed:

2 industries, 2 models, 2 techniques of ATTENTION
A table of models and attention in two industries: INDUSTRY MODEL ATTENTION (focus) AI LLMs (large language models) self-attention AEC BIM/Reality/TWIN/etc. drawing and descendants Conversations from LinkedIn about both… AI first, “self-attention”: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/miguelgfierro_ai-machinelearning-datascience-activity-7048180687920611328-UuMl Here are the comments under Miguel Fierro’s post: Attention is the fundamental reason why ChatGPT and all these LLMs work that well.…

What value has focus?
One day we’ll look back… The idea that we (humans and machines) don’t need better equipment within models for saying “hey look at this” is an idea one day we’ll look back on and wonder why we ever thought such a thing. Why talk about “drawings” in the conventional sense? (In the form they’ve been…

This Should Run in All Model Handling Software
This form of visual engagement with models should run in software for all kinds of spatial visual digital models. Emphasis on all kinds. We can list many kinds of models but think of any kind of digital model and I include that kind. A few for example: (digital twins, BIMs, photo or scanner generated models,…

Control Rods
This post combines fundamentals of the “mechanics” of perception with a software development proposal for a “control rods” function within digital models. PERCEPTION: Spatial awareness, or in other words — effectively good enough interpretation of visual spatial environments (the real world, digital models…) — is built up through a cognitive interplay back and forth between…

TGN OPEN CODE
Did you know that model filtering is implemented by METHODS more or less unique in every modeling software? But the filtering PRODUCT is always (OK, caveats, etc.) the same: a LIST OF GUIDS. The proposed TGN Open Code accounts for method differences. Unique feature methods, for TGN core features 1 through 8, are reconciled through…

Aluminum and rivets
Drawings are just dumb lines and arcs. I remember when this slogan was very popular. While I understand why it was said at the time, saying it had unintended consequences that the people saying it didn’t think of when they promoted it. It’s overdue now to address these consequences properly. We can start by taking…

AFR rigging TGN Core
This short video explains WHY, WHAT, and HOW we’ll build the open source TGN Core feature set of the broader Attention Focusing Rigs (AFR) concept in all modeling software: A webinar is coming up. Invitations coming soon. Software companies and users will be there. The webinar is intended to kick off development of TGN collaboratively…

Wow that was fast
Wow, already, like the movie, Her. Now it’s happening: https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/dont-go-breaking-my-heart A clip from Her (2013): A friend said: I feel kind of disgusted about the whole thing. First time I saw it I felt strongly disgusted and still this clip makes my stomach churn. Yeah. Exactly. And that’s why it’s a great movie. It did…
