An emergent swarm sifting algorithm: "how recently was this important to you?"
- An emergent swarm sifting algorithm: "how recently was this important to you?"
- Each time you think about something, pull it to the top of the stack.
- As you "touch" more things later, they'll go to the top of the stack and push it further down.
- The next time you think about it, it goes to the top of the stack again.
- Repeated touches give something more prominence, keep them more fresh.
- This is the way I listen to music.
- I typically listen to my Liked Music in descending order of most recently liked.
- If I get bored with a song, I skip it.
- If I skip more than 5 songs in a row, I switch to shuffle mode, listening to songs no matter how recently liked.
- Every time I hear a song that refreshes me, I unlike it and then immediately like it again.
- This pulls it to the top of the list.
- That's it!
