yeah, that's a leap forward, much thanks again for that!!
This is more of a generative function, it has an input stream and condenses
its "observations" into a small dynamic overview.

With time we will find new ways of determining context and content of

Context awareness is a human skill that computers are generally not so good
at. They lack the scalable methods our intuitive mind has control over,
that's all. Methods become scalable, when they are able to cope with the
fuzziness of reality.

The web is fuzzy, because most of material in it was created or initiated by
humans, who happen to be fuzzy, too ;)

I think one *new way* of determining stuff is to simply ask, but then again
those among us who would like to reinvent the wheel all over again would not
find such an ancient approach to be satisfactory ;)
