Not sure if this goes here or if I should write it, but this will do
if there is no other document.
1.) we discussed map & territory sequence for ~ an hour.
2.) plan for reading _Probability Theory: Language of Science_ X E. T.
Jaynes. Intro + first two (short) chapters for next couple weeks to
discuss on the 29th. The chapters get longer after that so probably
one chapter every two weeks is a realistic pace.
In stock at Amazon--

Free online PDF-- http://bayes.wustl.edu/etj/prob/book.pdf
(It looks to me like that is only the first four chapters.)
3.) next sequence for discussion: Reductionism.

Thanks! I find this summary very useful, having been unable to attend.
Here are some more online PDFs I found on the Gigapedia:
I couldn't find any difference between the three except in the file size...

Thanks Craig. I also mentioned that the following sequences would be
good reading for the next time we meet. These are necessary reading
for the Reductionism major sequence.
How An Algorithm Feels From Inside (http://lesswrong.com/lw/no/
how_an_algorithm_feels_from_inside/)
Feel the Meaning (http://lesswrong.com/lw/nq/feel_the_meaning/)
Replace the Symbol with the Substance (http://lesswrong.com/lw/nv/
replace_the_symbol_with_the_substance/)
Hopefully that isn't too much. I think that this will be a good set of
readings to discuss in around 2 weeks.
