I’m not sure where I “strip down the piece down to its most subjective level” ? There must be some misunderstanding here. By “changing others”, do you...

T Clark doesn’t want to participate, so I’ll leave the thread, unless someone wants me to continue the reconstruction.

I don’t know if it’s a breakthrough, but I do know it’s much more difficult to get my points across than I expected.

I said it was not interesting if we use rhythm as the basis for a reconstruction. It goes without saying that I wouldn’t want to write a reconstructio...
January 03, 2022 at 21:21
That’s true. If analysis only quotes the content (guided by value-based predilections) for the purpose of extracting a medium-specific narrative (so i...

Yes it's possible. But I haven't tried it (I've only applied some of the principles to books about the philosophy of science/mathematics) and I don't ...

If we take your example, the reconstruction would be like: rhythm accelerates a little, rhythm slows down big, rhythm sustains etc. Even though it’s n...

No, we just reference the broad concept this passage suggests. As we only care about a certain narrative, it’s not the exact meaning of the concept th...
January 02, 2022 at 18:05
Another point: why do we use a special notation to denote referential terms ? Because otherwise, if later in the reconstruction I need to reference th...

The reconstruction starts like this: The reconstruction follows the book. It will pick up elements from the text as it goes along and refer to them us...

Hi T Clark, I’ve PM’ed you a proposal. I sent Tom the links, he doesn’t see the point of the reconstructions, and that’s fine. It’s a very novel thing...

I’ll rewrite it. What it says is basically that when a review/criticism is not taken as just being informative (in which case there is nothing to crit...

Sending you a PM.

That’s cool to hear ! Sometimes, it will not be as helpful. It can depend on the content or the reader. Not every content is interesting to reconstruc...
January 02, 2022 at 09:27
Yes. That said, a part of the thesis is that there are different types of uniqueness. It’s of course (at least to me personally) not very interesting ...

Hello, welcome to the discussion :) Thanks for your feedback. If there’s any passage you specifically struggled to understand, please tell me where it...

In my experience, the important bit is not the value judgment, but what (supposedly) leads to the value judgment. So if someone writes “I like because...
January 01, 2022 at 23:33
We both lean toward the “experience”, so we’re practically on the same page. The only difference is that I don’t talk about “legitimacy”, and I don’t ...

I do tend to conflate interpretation and reviewing. I’m not rigorous about it, so please bear with me.
January 01, 2022 at 20:01
“Pleasure” might not be the best term. I include a wide range of things in it, including “interesting viewpoints”, “nostalgia”, “writing style”, etc. ...
January 01, 2022 at 19:46
Another aspect I would like to emphasize, is that we're not "limiting" content, in the sense that we introduce a formal step to our interpretation cal...
January 01, 2022 at 14:17
Yes, we look for patterns, patterns that have been ignored. While this yields a formal kind of review, it's not like an AI though, because in the last...

The first link seems nice, thanks.

If you PM me, PM me with your email, since I may not be able to reply back.
December 31, 2021 at 16:36
Thank you guys for the fast replies !

To add to the previous post: “Say if you're looking at romantic poets as a whole, and you're able to focus your analysis of their work on the things t...
December 31, 2021 at 15:48
“broader contexts and movements across history could both be important narratives in and of themselves, as well as provide deeper insight into the mea...
December 31, 2021 at 15:42
To follow up, I have published reconstructions as proofs of concept for all major media types: - Novels (As I Lay Dying by Faulkner, The Old Man and T...
December 22, 2021 at 13:02
I’ve also implemented something special for music reconstructions. They contain an audio player, and sound references can be played individually. They...
December 22, 2021 at 13:02
I see in your profile you've quoted Ode to a Grecian Urn. The book contains a reconstruction of that poem. So here's the extract from the book pertain...
November 29, 2021 at 13:35
Hello, Thank you for your interest! You’re right, that’s “all you have to do,” with an emphasis on attention span and sensory memory. For a TV series,...

Answering this question: Reconstructing is to describe (or rather pointing to) the points of the medium that build up to a narrative (so any part of t...
