Athena Trees is a key part of the MemeWeb Web Technology. These trees, combined with posts, form a unit of Learning called a Lexus. Athena trees are built from the top-ranking tags of a collection of posts, with additional rules and restrictions. Each branch comes from part of a list of a headliner tag and tags it shares other posts with, which we call Duets. This means each tag is important overall and has a relationship with other tags. After all, there has to be a reason why one tag follows another.
Each theme/flavor forms the root of the tree and contains all the posts you will find in that tree – this is what makes a tree a unit of learning. In addition, each tag that joins a branch has to have posts with the previous tag as well. This is a clever way to narrow branches and also auto-curates what posts you can look at.
Sounds complicated? It is. I figured out how to build trees from post tags, and what posts are attached to each link in a branch. In doing, I created the first learning unit and found a feasible way to glean data and knowledge from content, automatically, all across the web, transforming the web not just into a Library, but the greatest library in history. After I went blind. You’re welcome.
What’s the point? Athena deconstructs content, creating multiple pathways through it. Each Pathway pairs or group characters in a place and sometimes an event. It lets you choose your own path through a lot of content. First, you choose a tree, then a theme or flavor, then branches. You like Nick? Read about him spending time baking pies with Marge, or negotiating with deadly AI’s in the Operation Boner stories. Or look at it from Gilead’s POV and how it POV’s NoWhere. I started off Habitat with 30 posts, calling it my Novella, but it’s a Storyverse, a fictional world we will add many more stories to over time.
And as the Storyverse grows, the Trees, Themes andPathways change with it. Adding stories, or content, changes context, add new narratives, or even kill old ones. It’s dynamic, evolving like our brains as we navigate our own paths on this Earth.
