Communication Ethics
Chapter 3 - A Communication Model
Chapter 3 of The Ethics of Modern Communication has been posted. As mentioned in yesterday's post, this is the most foundational chapter of the work, the Big Idea that I think everyone is missing. In theory you could derive the rest of the essay from this chapter, though in practice I think it would be difficult, or I wouldn't have written it ;-)
The PDF is now 302KB, 30 pages.
Next chapter probably tommorow
I had thought that the next chapter of the essay would be available today, but I started working on it and ended up nearly completely rewriting the majority of it. Funny how the prospect of actually publishing something like this can cause your standards to suddenly rise.
This was probably the oldest chapter in the work, and it's also the most foundational, so a re-write is probably a good idea. The only bad news is now I have to propogate some of the changes through the rest of the chapters. Bleh. Writing bigs things with lots of dependencies stinks sometimes; programs are much easier to deal with, at least the way I write them.
