<p>successful fictional characters become paramount examples of the ‘real’ human condition because they live in an incomplete world that we have cognitive access to but cannot influence in any way and where no deeds can be undone. Unlike all the other semiotic objects, which are culturally subject to revisions, and perhaps only similar to mathematical entities, the fictual characters will never change and will remain the actors of what they did once and forever</p>

On the Ontology of Fictional Characters a Semiotic Approach

public-notes


Welcome! And beware!  

## Purpose

This vault is the "[[learning-in-public|ar.swyx.learn-in-public]]" part of my Second Brain. If you share some of my interests, please [reach out](https://djradon.github.io)! 

## Contents

- [[t]] my personal wikipedia
- [[idea]] (not necessarily mine)
- Resource Notes, including highlights, thoughts and metadata, for various things:
  - [[ar]] mostly articles, papers and web pages
  - [[book]]
  - [[community]]
  - [[course]]
  - [[event]]
  - [[game]]
  - [[loc]]
  - [[org]]
  - [[user]] 
  - [[prdct]] mostly software products, but also ontologies
  - [[recipe]]
  - [[video]] movies, tv episodes, youtube, etc
- [[vs]]
- [[wanted]]
- Some "Metadata Notes":
  - [[tags]] which may refer to any and multiple (or none) of the above
  - [[c]]: ways to categorize resources
  - [[p]]: ways to assert things about resources (mostly abandoned)

In terms of the [[t.km.zettelkasten]] method, this wiki is a commingling of literature notes with something @Sönke-Ahrens warned about: a "personal Wikipedia or a database" [^1]. 

In terms of [[t.tm.getting-things-done]], it's references, someday-maybe, next actions, and public projects.

## Beware!

This is a cluttered cupboard of jumbled jottings riddled with inaccuracies, confusion, and mistakes.

## What This Is Not

- evergreen-notes/digital-garden: for "synthesized" / original-ish publishable big-idea notes that should evolve over time, props to @andy-matuschak and @maggie-appleton
- blog: for "point-in-time" items to be shared: personal news, articles, etc.
  - e.g., [[ar.substack.carpe-noctem]]
