Folksonomies allow open-ended convergence.
- Folksonomies allow open-ended convergence.
- Open-ended systems diffuse by default.
- Convex.
- Folksonomies create emergent schelling points so they can cohere by default.
- Concave.
- This allows useful ontologies to accrete, emergently.
- A similar dynamic from Dan Bricklin: "Prototypes are their own organizing principle".
- The prototype is made by a one-pizza team.
- Once it's coherent and obviously viable, other people can glom onto it and scale it.
- The limitations of software force humans to agree and converge, because it's so expensive if everyone rewrites all the code themselves.
- But LLMs reduce that cost.
- By default vibecoding will diffuse out into micro-apps that no one uses, don't talk to each other, and can't be combined.
