This post contains some heavy insights, but I am afraid the math terms make it a little difficult to fully understand how these "limits" are calculated. I would like to see another article that explains it to a 5 year old.
I just checked out the rest of your blog and decided to follow you and also resteemed this. Hopefully you get more attention and up votes in the future! Good work.
I was thinking the same thing. My vocabulary is far above average, but this makes me feel like I can't read. ;)
Thanks a lot for your comment and honesty, because this heavy writing demands a lot of attention and effort from the part of the reader.
We must go trough complexity first when we approach a new situation (chaos is the first time impression of something really new), as the first reaction to understand the unknown, but later things became more clear and we are able to explain it in a more simple way.
Every time I have to write about something new to me like this (chaotic while I don't understand it), like new complex and still experimental societies or phenomena like steemit, I have to look at it, first using complex thinking to try to absorb all the structures involved, and in a second phase I'm ready to write it in more simple terms that everybody can understand, that's why I'm taking so long to write my next post. :)
And above all thanks for till now sharing personally your knowledge with me, as well as the beautiful work I know you are making for all the community, and I'm very glad to benefit every day from your hidden great work for this platform and care for the needs of the community.Hi @anotherjoe, first of all, sorry because I just saw your comment now.
I'll try to explain it better now that I finished my theoretical introduction in my last 3 posts because the blockchain amplified a lot the possible limits of human transactions, peer mutual influences and propagation time and it needs a new work in the mathematical calculations.
In my next article, I had already planned to introduce the known perception/attention limits of human psychology that can support this theory, but I'll keep investigating the numbers perspective.Thanks a lot @dantheman for your comment and for your stimulation to clarify the math aspect.
