- patterns of communication (or gene flow) through populations
- paired crossing is a pattern of communication (or demography) in which pairs of individuals (texts) associate for purposes of recombination - relatively long-term
- population-wide communication is a pattern of communication (or demography) in which many individuals (texts) are brought simultaneously into association - some form of population-wide communication is essential to population formation and maintenance - without it, genes could not flow across a nascent population, and it would break into multiple populations (by definition) - however, it might be ad hoc, or a natural effect; the result of no deliberate technique - the Web Crawler Handle below is an example of a light handed technique - a little gene flow goes a long way - or it might be something more deliberate - old simplex-wide demo might be example
The encoded form:
textbender_ identifier _mark
- anywhere in visible content of document - note the single space after ‘textbender_’ and before ‘_mark’ [ identifier - unique term corresponding roughly to the population / roughly, because populations are defined by gene flow, not by identifiers - need not universally unique; only in context of other textbendermarks - recommend: no special characters that might throw off a search engine / plain old human-readable text, with spaces - purpose | search/discovery of individuals of a wild population | discovery of populations - because, in lieu of any other population-wide techniques, (e.g. in a system where baseline communications are paired) this may be the only means of search/discovery (e.g. to form new pairs) - this is a temporary technique, to be deprecated when: | crawlers can index XML attributes (e.g. loci) | crawlers pay attention to RDF - then individual might state which population(s) it intends to be part of | other techniques are developed, perhaps based on actual gene flow, as well as intended
A specific example:
textbender_ Amoretti and Epithalamion A75 _mark. <!-- http://reluk.ca/project/textbender/d/population/note.xht#textbendermark -->
The corresponding search terms for discovery of individuals of this population:
"textbender_ identifier _mark" "textbender_ Amoretti and Epithalamion A75 _mark"
Or, to find other documents about this text (the ‘-’ here meaning ‘exclusive of’):
"identifier" -textbender_ "Amoretti and Epithalamion A75" -textbender_
The search terms for discovery of all textbender populations (conjunctor being AND):
textbender_ _mark
