"The neighbors of a house on El Portal saw a suspicious person carrying a red suitcase come out of their neighbor's house area. They scared him off and followed him by car down Dondero, but lost him when he cut over on the walking trail. The neighbors thought he might have gone up Esteban and in checking that out they talked to a family on Esteban who later informed a young neighbor. By luck the young person was out running and saw the suspect near Bernal Intermediate. The police were called, came out, and picked the person up. Good work by all involved.

Description of person involved – Hair: No hat, Top: Black jacket, Age: 30s, Race: Hispanic, Sex: Male, Other details: Carrying a red suitcase. Police apprehended him a couple hours later from neighbor call in."

(don't ask me, I just copy-pasted).

Esteban is where I live; Dondero is the next street.

dimensions of databases

"A large database B with links can be imagined
as a vast metric space. We can envision its graph approximation: pages ⇒ vertices,
links ⇒ edges. Metric can be defined by the condition that a link has length one,
or else: length of a link is the relative number of hits.
Approximate dimension d then can be introduced: a (weighted) number of pages
accessible in ≤ R links is approximately cRd.
Some experimental work with actual databases produces definitely non-integer
dimensions.
Databases are used for search of information. A search in B usually produces a
“bad subset” S in B, for example, all contexts of a given word.

If the database B registers results of scientific observations (Human Genome
project, cosmology), what we would like to get from it is instead (a fragment of) a
new scientific theory.
Arguably, such a theory is “a bad quotient” rather than a bad subset of B.
Imagine all Darwin’s observations registered as a raw database, and imagine how
evolutionary theory might have been deduced from it: drawing bold analogies and
performing a drastic compression. Arguably, both procedures are better modeled
by “bad equivalence relations” rather than by contextual search."
