Thank you for putting your work online. I’m an undergraduate doing directed research on the math and cogsci of inference. Being able to listen to you on youtube is such a gift. It’s really helping me get a better grasp on the rest of the literature.

Big fan of your work, Professor Brandom, especially your video lectures (which are a bit more accessible to someone like me, an interested non-specialist trained in the history of religions and specializing in Buddhist studies). I don't know how one would go about arranging such a thing, but I'd love to see you on the Lex Fridman podcast. He is a tech researcher who talks with a lot of folks about AI, and I think a conversation between you two would be absolutely delightful.

Mr. Brandom, what exactly is 'semantogenic'? Thank you for your attention.

[_ARCATEC_]

Harmony containing continuity holding discretization. Interpreting the structure of the domains of being, or the various levels of existence that make up our reality.

Using the balance nested parentheses of Intellidoscope as the syntactic framing, allowing for the expression of semantic content such as follows.

Let XZY+Q be coordinates,
Let H be Harmony,
Let C be continuity
And let ∆ be discretization.
