I think you'll find that people aren't programs, and that learning to write prose without graph data structures and algorithms will make you a better communicator, and is worth the exercise on its own even without conducting experiments on expression.
The ultimate goal is communication, not experiments.
- briantakita 4y agoI write prose & am dissatisfied with maintaining & editing statements made. Prose is one method of communication, but people often talk past each other or respond to a cherry-picked statement without addressing the full context. If the listener sees things from primarily their position, it often doesn't matter how good you are at prose. If there is more explicit structure in the communication then a fuller context could be more visible. Prose is serial & requires repetition, which is duplicate effort. Given how online discourse has devolved in the recent decade, it seems that the modality of prose is lacking certain elements which brings shared understanding & context.
- briantakita 4y agoA few more thoughts... Prose is also inefficient to read. We train our vision to fixate on certain words & glyphs to derive the meaning of a sentence. If the format were more friendly to scanning to understand context & meaning, we could also more efficiently understand content & find links to other related content.
