Recently I was searching for a way of describing human movement.
Can you tell me some more about that? (PM is fine if it's not relevant to LessWrong.) I have worked on procedural animation for sign languages, based on the HamNoSys notation, and I am interested in extending it to more general movement and more general applications.
In studying bioinformatics, so I have a general interest in movment that goes beyond any specific project.
At the moment one of my projects is to build a new constructed language. A logical language like Lojban but better than Lojban.
Lojban takes a lot of semantic distinctions that exist in natural language for granted and doesn't reorganise them.
One example would be months. You don't need a seperate word for every month. It's much better to call them with compound words like month-4 and month-6. At the moment my design provides for 5 letter compound words ...
I was just wondering. Human minds are messed up in 1001 ways, but are there a few rational principles that most people already have down? Of course, the answers to this question are probably so extremely obvious that I haven't even considered them. But I ask all the same.
