What About the Legend of King Arthur?
Once the domain name,
KingArthur.com was acquire, some of the
ramifications became instantly apparent.
Though the domain name wasn't publicized,
people and things stated trying to find a
website at www.kingarthur.com. The viewers would
write and ask how to find the URL.
And, it didn't matter that
the search engines, robots, crawlers and spiders,
were not notified... they showed up and probed
on their own.
An obligation was felt to put some content on the website.
An obligation was also felt to use the name for altruistic
purposes. A website began being engineered around the concept
and wound up being published as
the first anti-IQ test.
The anti-IQ test started de-evolving over time and
ended up taking on a life of its own.
Since a website can be
very interactive, both sides can learn quite a bit.
The viewer learned from the servers. The servers
learned from the viewers. The learning fed on
itself (and still does.)
The anti-IQ test was learning. One of the side-effect of its evolution
-- benefiting a reasonable portion of the population. So,
perhaps the quest for a perpetual altruism community is at hand?
But, What About the Legend?
If an algorithm for the KingArthur.com website were to be put in
writing, it would be hard to name all the variables in the
equation. However, at least two of the elements could easily
be identified:
- Those seeking information on the legend of King Arthur
influence KingArthur.com
- KingArthur.com influences the legend of King Arthur
A significant portion of the population that
randomly landed on KingArthur.com had some sort-of interest
in King Arthur. This population was instantly greeted by the
anti-IQ test that had become the KingArthur.com homepage.
So, by default, the legend of King Arthur became part of
the KingArthur.com altruism community's algorithm.
Chaos Theory would suggest
this was not random nor a coincident. For, it could be argued
that the ideal known as Camelot would make a good model for a
perpetual altruism society?
In essence, the legend of King Arthur came to life in
KingArthur.com.
