| #5 I'm a little removed from the closed door studies. Perhaps some of you are not. Posted by Skidmark Which only means your effort will likely not be biased. |

| #4 So I'm starting to design tensors from Rantburg's rogue's gallery (et. al.) of reported events using the POLE model. It will be an interesting long term project. My hypothesis is the 'AI' should predict, something. If any readers think the project is too bizarre, techno or just pseudo-intellectual solo sex, please advise, critically as you choose. As you may see from some of the references there is open interest in the topic. I'm a little removed from the closed door studies. Perhaps some of you are not. |

| #3 Free software and large datasets are like jam on toast for me. While I was downloading I started asking myself "crime and acts of terror, terror and acts of crime, given a big enough data sampling of events how are they different from a presumed planet blocking otherwise shining moments?"  |

| #2 Sometime during this period of pharmaceutical enlightenment the thought condensed to "when dark things happen in the light there is an active agent of interest." Later I remembered "descriptive, prescriptive, predictive" and thought "well hey, if there is a discernible event agent it was there before and likely will be in the area again." |

| #1 Some visits but not much chatter on this one so I'll add my own. Recently, late one evening (or early one morning, I forget) I ran across this while self-medicating. I thought, "Interesting, in selected zones, the light of stars dims when partially occluded by something assumed to be a planet." The span of data time must of course include some orbital interval of the possible planet. |
