Instead of attempting to preserve the reader/interpreter for the code why not port the code/data? If you can make a bridge from Tech1 to Tech2 and then Tech2 to Tech3 and so on you could form a hopefully automated and resilient history. Though some things may be lost in translation, the hues of your blues and the subtle edges of your monkies. I’ve got some music hanging around that has gone from cassette tape to CD and now to MP3. There are subtle differences but nothing I can honestly make out. Over a 1000 re-encodings though I imagine the differences would become apparent.

Have you seen the Long Now Foundation? 10,000 year plan. http://www.longnow.org/

I like the idea of porting content between technologies in theory, but in practice I think the effort only gets invested for content like The Secret of Monkey Island but not my lowly monkeys.

Your cassette-to-CD-to-MP3 example is great and reminds me that in “C:\pastlives” I also have some audio stories my sisters and I recorded as kids that made the same progression. I love the fact that the low-fi cassette recorder hiss has been preserved. The MP3 hop made me kind of sad, because it was lossy and not in a way that I thought added texture. But you’re right, I am just grateful that the content is still around, even with some of the proverbial edges subtly updated.

I read about the Long Now Foundation in relation to a Wired article on Danny Hillis from some years ago. I’d love to attend one of their ‘seminars on long-term thinking’.

10,000 years pass … my monkeys outlast humanity … wasn’t there some Charlton Heston movie like that…?

I welcome our new 8bit monkey overlords!

The iPhone Monkey Island example made me think a bit. I was thinking more generalised porting, something automated that can be run against Language X to produce Language Y. That already exists though and the results are rarely good enough. Time and effort and attention to the new destination’s capabilities and limitations (iPhone) is required. Audio has a fairly wide acceptance range when transcoding but computer code doesn’t. Hmm. Tough one to tackle.

I am still thinking about this, and am not sure my analogy to sediment is quite what I had wanted to articulate.

What I am wrestling with is that the ‘foundation’ itself is destined to become the obscurer. So I wasn’t meaning to be pithy with the ‘sands of time’ analogy.
