A Draft Visualization of the TDP User Interface Concept
At each of its stages, this project involves the efficient management of Actions, Actors, and Modalities and availing ourselves of the capacity of generative AI to help us compose or “style” meaning by providing syntactically bounded “thickly descriptive” (i.e., data-rich) answers to the Questions: who? what? when? where? how? and why?, with these answers being informed by and informing the range of our senses from the visual to the audial to the haptic. The broader ongoing research question that presents itself alongside our more specific pedagogical and course development goals and that provides a broader conceptual framework for the AI+Languages Discussion Group events below—is whether such ongoing and balanced multisensory attentiveness to all six of these questions might be a way, grounded in Languages and Humanities Studies, of being “true” in the verbal and transitive sense of the word: “to make level, square, balanced, or concentric: to bring or restore to a desired mechanical accuracy or form” (Merriam Webster).
