*edited to add: sorry I see it as base 1 now!

@kvistgaard @tanishqkumar

Gosh thank you for telling me about this. If I understand correctly, it's base-0? Are there any articles for lay-readers on it? I regret those I found either explained it as something I'd interpret as base-0, and I found hard to understand how to create and compute abstractions from that foundation, or they seemed aimed at readers who were already thinking in terms of computing with those abstractions, and I was a bit lost!

My applications for fast computing would be things like Wide Area Motion Imaging or gimbaled sensors that have to make tiny movements with superb accuracy and speed in order to see things very very far away.

📄 We recommend the new paper on “Counter-practices: Understanding sensor datafication through subversive action” by Christoph Borbach and Max Kanderske, published in the new journal Dialogues on Digital Society.
The authors propose a situated, praxeological approach to study sensor datafication by following three strands of subversive sensor counter-practices.
