I had been asked to speak on using Ithkuil to model creative thinking.</p> +<p>At the conference, I presented a paper entitled <a href="quijada_j_conference_paper.pdf" target="_blank">"Conceptualizing an Ideal Language for the Expression of Creative Thought"</a> (certainly a presumptuous title, but what the hell...) which offered my ideas on what such a language must be able to accomplish, accompanied by a <a href="quijada_j_slideshow.pdf" target="_blank">slideshow presentation</a> analyzing an Ithkuil sentence purporting to describe an "indescribable" work of art, specifically Marcel Duchamp's <em>Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2</em>. The presentation appeared to be well-received and several of the various Russian scientists and the many students in attendance approached me afterward during the course of the conference to discuss my work on Ithkuil.</p> +<p>I had a wonderful time at the conference and also enjoyed playing tourist in Moscow. Meeting many Russian scientists, students, and the local Kalmyk people was exhilarating. I was humbled to discover so many people interested in my work, and whose work in turn I found quite fascinating (to the extent I was able to understand it through my interpreters). I now have several new friends halfway around the world.</p> +<p>Below are photographs from the conference:</p> +<p><img src="Images/Kalmykia_conference/city-chess.JPG" alt="City-Chess" width="470" height="349" /> <img src="Images/Kalmykia_conference/city-chess_street.JPG" alt="City-Chess street" width="468" height="349" /></p> +<p>The "City-Chess" compound built for the 1998 World Chess Championships, where participants in the Conference were housed.
