On Earth, psychotechnicists develop AI;
the information is transmitted to Demeter;
the colonists incorporate not robotic mechanisms but nanotech and an AI into their terraformed ecology;
thus, the self-maintaining and self-adjusting Demetrian ecology functions like a single conscious and intelligent organism or like a planetary goddess;
(later, Terrestrial AI, saving its ecology by other means, values abstract mathematics and aesthetics and regards Demeter Mother as tainted by organicism;)
download Kyra quotes "'Vaster than empires and more slow...'" (p. 445) (see here), a link to English metaphysical poetry and to Ursula K. Le Guin's future history.
Today: the long drive home.
This evening: meditation group.
Result: less time for blogging.

Kaor, Paul!
The "Demeter Mother" AI was created by the Demeter colonists because the ecology of this terraformed planet was becoming far too complex to be managed in the detail needed by ordinary means.
Three blog pieces in one day is a lot more than many blogs achieve in three WEEKS!
