Democracy and Knowledge: Innovation and Learning in Classical Athens

How does algorithmic information processing affect the meaning of the word culture, and, by extension, cultural practice? We address this question by focusing on the Netflix Prize (2006–2009), a contest offering US$1m to the first individual or team to boost the accuracy of the company’s existing movie recommendation system by 10%. Although billed as a technical challenge intended for engineers, we argue that the Netflix Prize was equally an effort to reinterpret the meaning of culture in ways that overlapped with, but also diverged in important respects from, the three dominant senses of the term assayed by Raymond Williams. Thus, this essay explores the conceptual and semantic work required to render algorithmic information processing systems legible as forms of cultural decision making. It also then represents an effort to add depth and dimension to the concept of “algorithmic culture.”

Depictive expressions of thought predate written language by thousands of years. They have evolved in communities through a kind of informal user testing that has refined them. Analyzing common visual communications reveals consistencies that illuminate how people think as well as guide design; the process can be brought into the laboratory and accelerated. Like language, visual communications abstract and schematize; unlike language, they use properties of the page (e.g., proximity and place: center, horizontal/up-down, vertical/left-right) and the marks on it (e.g., dots, lines, arrows, boxes, blobs, likenesses, symbols) to convey meanings. The visual expressions of these meanings (e.g., individual, category, order, relation, correspondence, continuum, hierarchy) have analogs in language, gesture, and especially in the patterns that are created when people design the world around them, arranging things into piles and rows and hierarchies and arrays, spatial-abstraction-action interconnections termed spractions. The designed world is a diagram.

Following the quantitative evidence where it may be found (papyri, marble portraits, ancient citations, medieval copies), the chapter studies the form of the ancient canon. This can be understood in terms of the libraries in which it was preserved (some authors, such as Homer and probably also Menander and Euripides, were owned by every reader, even the most modest book collector, others, such as Plato, would be preserved mostly in bigger libraries), and in terms of its genre: above all, this was the canon of performative literature. The key observation is the early date of the formation of the canon, its enormous stability thereafter, and the contrast between a stable performative canon and a fluid set of non-performative technical authors, in constant competition throughout antiquity, until, finally, the canon of technical literature is formed in late antiquity.

This paper attempts a new interpretation of Euclid’s Elements Book X. This study of irrational lines has long been viewed as an anomaly within the Euclidean corpus: it includes a tedious and seemingly pointless classification of lines, known as ‘the cross of mathematicians’. Following Ken Saito’s toolbox conception, we do not try to reconstruct the book’s mathematical process of discovery, but, instead, the kind of applications for which it serves as a toolbox. Our claim is that the book provides tools for solving questions about proportional lines inspired by results in music theory and a context of Pythagorean-Platonic interest in proportions. We show that the entire content of Book X can indeed be accounted for as a set of tools for these questions, augmented by the general editorial norms that govern the Elements. We conclude by explaining why the purpose of Book X as reconstructed here has disappeared from mathematical memory.

Between music and geometry: a proposal for the early intended application of Euclid’s Elements Book X

(The sense of ‘X→ Y’ is ‘X made Y substantially more probable’). I concluded that while (1) has merit and is worth pursuing, it is only (2) which is in fact compelling. I now learned that it would be preferable to curtail (2) further. The curtailment of the consequent is straightforward. Much of the discussion in this volume concerned the difficulties of counterfactual history. I find now that it is intemperate to seek to explain something such as ‘The Industrial Revolution’. This event is messy and multicausal, and quite obviously categorically different from ‘Greek Mathematics’. It is, however, interesting enough to argue
