WYDNA group

The WYDNA Group is a research collective consisting of Kantbot and Edburg.

According to their Twitter bio, topics they're interested in are "Library Science, Mnemotechnics, Combinatorics, Marxism, Technometry, Architectonics, Sociology of Knowledge, Cornucopianism, and Parapolitics." In words comprehensible to normal people that means library science, memory aids, good teaching practice, Post-scarcity economics, and conspiracy theories.

Dialogue with Infrared

Kantbot has appeared as a guest on the Infrared stream before, and Haz has likewise appeared on a rare free episode of the Pseudodoxology Podcast. Around this period of public cooperation, Haz stated that Kantbot's podcast was an educational and worthwhile listen, though no statements of total ideological overlap were made. Many ideological and analytic agreements were found anyways.

During this period of Infrared history, the community on Twitter began picking up ideological concepts introduced to them by Kantbot, such as:

• Dinosaur denialism
• Abiotic Oil Theory

In late 2022, Kantbot announced that as part of his boycott on uninteresting discourse he will block Mecha-Tankies and MAGA Communists to stop them from tagging him into their Twitter battles.

Responding to Kantbot's rhetorical posturing against recent ideological memes of the Infrared community, Haz declared him to be under malign influence of Leftoids who feed his ego in exchange for nominal allegiance. Kantbot has also denounced Haz since and has more or less realigned with his original BAP twitter audience, who for the past years have made memes about him being a tranny lover (watch TFWNOGF), and consistently clowned on him in 2021-2022.

Kantbot has also broken the very tight bridge he once had with Logo_Daedalus and has now pretty much resigned himself to eating potato chips, being fat, and watching animes from the late 80s and early 90s

Research on XML

Kantbot is notable for being an advocate of investigation into XML Archeotechnology such as Topic Maps and meta-languages that would enable in-memory parsing of XML files, which would open up new frontiers of web development according to Kantbot's theory. He also claims that XML qualifies as a leibnitzian universal language. The specific innovation that Kantbot is attempting to reconstruct or reinvent in this domain is a system of metadata organisation that completely collapses the "Document Object Model" into the framework of Topic Maps. The practical difference is that instead of parsing individual documents for encoded information the documents should have robust internal metadata structures, indexes and thesauri that provide adequate semantic markup for high search-engine precision within these documents so that the Topic Map can serve as a portal environment from which to begin searching for information in it's connected documents. This was done with the original conference papers documenting the development of the Topic Map idea, which Kantbot credits in part for making this archeotechnology reconstructable.

Kantbot believes that because XSLT (through X-Fun) qualifies as a functional programming language it can completely replace Javascript and that it's use in combination with the inherent advantages of an XML Datamodel would result in a new and improved iteration of the Internet that is superior to Web 3.0.

"Web 3 is going to make everything wrong with the internet worse. It further formalizes and entrenches the cybernetic control mechanisms of network ideology. Anyone promoting it is evil or stupid. We must return to XML Topic Maps, XML Style Sheets, XML Query Languages immediately"

Kantbot maintains a library with educational resources on XML and one dedicated to topic maps.
