A.Buchanan: So this was Niemann's own correction, I guess. When was FEENSCHACH renamed feenschach? (2021-05-25)
A.Buchanan: Henrik: "Jungle & Garden" is a new perspective in the fairy chess terminology classification campaign. It comes from a frustration I've had in writing glossary entries (not just in chess, but in my professional life) as to what I am trying to achieve with a definition. Is it ever "good enough", or can it be? It basically says that any term is either a *description* of an aspect of the chaotic real world ("Jungle") or it's a *definition* in our provisional model of that world ("Garden"). Words like "love", "game", "fairy", "tempo", "joke" are all Jungle words. The meaning is derived from consensus: like a ship's anchor cable is made up of many fibres, in Wittgenstein's famous image. On the other hand, we are trying to build (in our software & databases) formal models which can classify, solve and compose chess problems (Gardens). The terminology in any one can and must be exact, as it emerges bottom-up from formal mathematics, logical and informational structures. However these terms are only provisional, and different Gardens may have different interpretations. It is acknowledged that they are not the same as similar terms in the Jungle. They are our best shot so far. It is valid to list (in a civil way) perceived shortcomings between the Garden and the Jungle, which can be put in a backlog to be handled later. "Legality" is an excellent example of a Garden concept, which is why I am exploring it currently. Comments welcome. (2021-05-25)
A.Buchanan: A database crosses the divide: it must store accurate "photographs of the jungle". Any transformation of these compositions (e.g. rationalization of the stipulation) cannot over-write primary jungle data. I thought this composition did that, but I think it's Niemann's own correction published later. (2021-05-25)
Henrik Juel: Thanks for the explanation, Andrew (2021-05-25)
