"Experts [consistently] make better choices." Kathy Sierra, BADASS

IP #1 The value of information is using it to
choose the better of two alternatives
IP #2 Information takes time to propagate because of distance
and resistance
IP #3 The distribution of information is non-uniform
None
IP #4 Applying information implies change which requires work which
has a cost
None
IP #5 Information can be inconsistent, which is a contradiction
None
IP #6 Information is fractal
IP #6 Information is fractal
IP #7 The leverage of information degrades over time
The fundamental problem of working with matter is coordination
Properties of Matter
Properties of Matter 1. Can't be in two places at
once
None
Properties of Matter 1. Can't be in two places at
once; two pieces can't be in the same place at the same time
Properties of Matter 1. Can't be in two places at
once; two pieces can't be in the same place at the same time 2. No action-at-a-distance

once; two pieces can't be in the same place at the same time 2. No action-at-a-distance 3. Order of operations is important
Are matter and information the same?
In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice; in
practice, there is.

Learning means retention. Retention comes from retrieval, not repetition
