of everyone who's been mentioned on the Internet
sorted according to the number of mentions [eg 1997]
and starting with #1
(most mentioned, eg 'Elvis')
let's go to their Wikipedia biography
and re-edit it for view-scaling
so that the most-significant fact is listed first
2nd-most, second
etc
(this is easier said than done)
eg James Joyce
when view-scaled down to two words
is usually "Irish writer"
with acclaim, notoriety, and difficulty
following close behind
now for these discrete facts
since we lack a well-behaved general ontology
we'll substitute ensembles of code fragments
(and their associated units of measure)
so that we can select any subset of biographies
and count the occurrences of each ensemble
and rank these by how commonly they're cited
and in theory
we can extend this process
to all humans
and their entire lives
annotating every event
great or small
