Bio, dated 15 july 1995.

Michel Dussandier, 34, single. Born in France. French-speaking guy
with a little knowledge in english.
I studied agriculture (High school level), but worked as a programmmer 
and analyst for 10 years in "management". I try to create a small 
publishing company Very concerned with gs (July 95)
I discovered gs in Van Vogt's "Null-A" books 5 years ago, and in 
Michel Saucet's book "La semantique generale aujourd'hui" (gs today). 
I became member of ISGS in 1990.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I have different ideas/projects in mind at this time. Among them:

 - A list of the acronyms and special characters used here (=lumina)
   please send me the acronyms you use/know. I'll collect/sort them and
   they will surely find a place somewhere on the Web (and/or in the FAQ)

 - About gs usefulness in Personal situations

   This is a mere idea. May be we could collect datas in a sort of
   'before/after" method about the evolution of the perception of 
   a similar event.

   The datas could be: What Was Going On ( WWGO before, without gs )
        and            What Is  Going On ( WIGO Now... With gs "in mind" )

   The experience that gave me this idea is this: 
   - WWGO
     I remember the last time i tried to climb onto a ladder (15-20 years ago ?)     I was terrified; with shaking knees, etc. 

   - WIGO
     I had the opportunity to do this last sunday, But nothing 
     like this happened. I felt just a little anxiety.

   One problem could be: Does gs influence this behavior's change?
   If yes, to what extent?

   But may be these questions are not "good" questions... 
   If we consider that gs have these kind of perceptions/reactions 
   as its main subjet of study, and if these perceptions/reactions 
   really change when trying to practice gs, may be we could say that 
   this practice "is" really effective. But this need DATAS...

   If you have such a datas, may be we could build the 
   " What GS can do to you " book (or web page, etc.)

   Or may be this already exists ? 
   Or may be it could induce the reactions of the audience looking to the guy 
   who had no hairs before and a nice wall-to-wall carpet on the head after 
   he used The Miracle Hair Grow Liquid (???) : That's advertising !...

 - The third idea ( and last for now ) is a computer game.
   Basically, it would be based on different situations. 
   For every situation presented, the player have to answer a question 
   (or more) about what s/he perceived of it.
   The program could ask different types of questions:
    - (as in the uncritical inference test 
                (xxx happended. Is it True? False? Don't know ?)
    - Multivalued 
                (How do you estimate the probability for xxx :
                        0% 25% 50% 75% 100% )
    - Fact/inference (xxx said yyy. Could we consider it as the expression 
                of a fact or as an inference?)
    - etc. (?)
   The program will drive the player to a new situation that depend 
   on his/her answer... The goal of it could be to attain an objective
   without violence, with cooperation...
   That's too big for me to DO it, but it's the idea...

Salut !
Michel.
