Azamat,    (01)

There are some events that are easily detected. It is not hard
to tell when a firecracker has exploded. It is much harder to
find the bottom of a recession. It's all in the classifiers
or filters.    (02)

An interesting question might be: how do we migrate from detecting
simple events to more complex ones. Or, we might discuss how those
events are represented in an ontology so that they are anticipated
and detected correctly. I am particularly interested in the linkage
between predicates and the metrics for detection.    (03)

I just finished G.Lakoff's book on category theory, it is popular
writing but quite an interesting read, "Women, Fire and Dangerous
Things".    (04)
