16:36 < mcallan> what is the practice of e-dem?  the practice of e-dem is an experimental practice, and it always will be
21:45 < conseo> yes, although it could become so omnipresent, that many things just work and the experiments happen in process
22:29 < mcallan> i realize now that the only way to survive (at least for me) is to focus on the experimental aspect, almost to the exclusion of everything else.  although it is engineering, we (or i) approach it as a scientist (lab coat and clipboard)
22:31 < mcallan> this is the form initially (the seed), and this form can grow into the mature practice (bursting the seed), which will no longer like an experiment
22:32 < mcallan> (no longer *look* like)
22:40 < mcallan> alternative approach is bootstrapping, or concern for a single seed, which would almost certainly fail.  the secret (at least for me) is a minimal investment in each experimental case, each seed
