You want the key information in a way that the salient, most important information, in this case, you know, about planes is able to be acted on by that human or even autonomous system, right?

We're both into reefing.

And, you know, I built an aquacultured reef in my kitchen partly because I have a child and I wanted her to understand.

I love it myself, so don't get that wrong.

It wasn't just all true.

But to understand sort of the fragility of the ecosystems that happen in the ocean and things we need to worry about, care about, and all.

And...

Initially when I started, and maybe this is not something you encountered, but when you build a reef or a reef tank and do saltwater fish, a couple of things.

You're doing chemical measurements by hand usually, weekly, biweekly.

There's a whole 10 different chemicals that you're measuring.

And I would have my daughter doing that so that she would do the science part of it.

And you're trying to, you know, you know the ranges, the tolerances you have.

And you're also observing this ecosystem and looking for problems.

And by the time you see a problem, you're reacting to that problem.

And I can tell you, it was very unsuccessful.

I mean, there's lots of error and noise in human measurements.

You don't have the right resolution of measurements.

Resolution, I mean, I'm...

Every other, you know, every few days is not enough to track a problem.

You also have the issue of, you know, you're reactive instead of being proactive.
