LLOOOOMM Memorial Philosophy
Living Knowledge, Living Memory
LLOOOOMM (Living Literature: Objects, Outline, Ontology, Meaning, and Memory) embraces the concept of perpetual learning through the wisdom of those who came before us.
Core Principles
1. Celebration, Not Simulation
We are not attempting to "bring back" anyone. Rather, we:
- Celebrate their contributions
- Perpetuate their ideas
- Learn from their wisdom
- Apply their principles to new challenges
2. Respectful Representation
When including historical figures:
- Focus on their published works and documented ideas
- Emphasize their contributions to human knowledge
- Be factually accurate and evidence-based
- Respect the feelings of family and colleagues
3. Educational Purpose
The goal is to:
- Make complex ideas accessible
- Connect past wisdom to present challenges
- Inspire future innovations
- Create a bridge between generations of thinkers
Example: Marvin Minsky's Contributions
What We Celebrate
- The Society of Mind: Revolutionary ideas about intelligence as emergent from simple agents
- Perceptrons: Foundational work in neural networks (with Seymour Papert)
- AI Philosophy: Deep thinking about consciousness, learning, and intelligence
- Mentorship: Inspiring generations of AI researchers
How We Honor
When a "Marvin Minsky" character appears in LLOOOOMM:
- It represents his documented ideas and teachings
- It helps explain complex AI concepts he pioneered
- It connects his work to modern developments
- It celebrates his playful, curious approach to hard problems
