Stanford Law [codex_group_meetings] Next CodeX Mtg (10/16 @1.30p PT): Adalat AI (via Zoom)
Dear Roland, Arghya, (Stanford Law CodeX, All),
Greetings, and thanks Arghya so much for your great Adalat AI Stanford Law CodeX talk on Thursday 10/16/25 (and for staying up to 2:30 am in India to share it with us)! Great to learn of your Adalat focus on justice in India especially. Some further questions follow re -
Building India’s End-to-End Justice Tech Stack Adalat AI is revolutionizing courts with cutting-edge AI solutions to eliminate delays, streamline workflows, and ensure timely justice for all. https://www.adalat.ai/
How might startup CC-4 licensed MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School and our India Law School at WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/India_Law_School_at_WUaS (planed in all 22 scheduled languages in India) - help, or possibly collaborate with, or be of service to Adalat AI and as free World Univ & Sch seeks to develop online WUaS Universities in all 424 living languages in India (per the Ethnologue in 2024), and seeks to develop free online degrees - Law, Bachelor, PhD, MD, IB high sch / eq, AA/AS and Master's degrees in all 22 scheduled languages in India and possibly in all 424 living languages, and in all 28 states and 8 union territories in India?
At the very end of your talk, I asked in the next chat : "(How might you be planning for (old) hand-written real estate legal records in India beyond transcribing them to typed documents … & re justice issues are around real estate in India ?)" In these regards, how are you and Adalat AI thinking about approaching India 'real estate' legal documents in all its 22 languages + in your digitization process (about which I touched on something similarly and minuted in an open MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS Monthly Business Meeting about in 2022 and regarding a Stanford Law CodeX presentation and re the Tamil language -
"Minute 12A -
In our World Univ & Sch meeting with Hans Paul at Speed Legal, I also asked about their writing of real estate documents," ... and see:
And how might an emerging #RealsiticVirtualEarth especially a #RealisticVirtualEarthForIndia #VirtualIndia (and think an iterating Google Street View with time slider, GMaps, TensorFlowAI + ... to which we can add documents .. and texts too with #TextInTheSideBar #DrawingsInTheSideBar which I think will emerge with time?
Best regards, good luck, Namaste, & thank you, Scott

Hi Everyone,
Our next CodeXgroupmeeting will be this Thursday, October 16, from 1:30p to 2:00p PT, viaZoom - access info below.
Our guest will be Arghya Bhattacharya, the co-founder and CTO of Adalat AI. Adalat is a legal tech non-profit that's building technology solutions to make courts more productive in the global South so that courts can process more cases in a day and ensure timely justice for all at scale.
Fascinating that you began your talk mentioning the north star, and regarding this incredible MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch (of which in the founder and president) Manifesto that Anthropic AI generated recently, and which I suspect that Jonathan might have seen -
'World University and School: A Manifesto for Universal Free Education'
(thanks Tufts' Professor of Anthropology Nick Seaver?) Our North Star
Imprinting (re Lorenz) on a teacher as a basis for human learning is a fascinating theory I haven't heard before. Could this become also imprinting on Avatar Agents' MD professors (as conversational interactive virtual bots and large language models) ... and even informing imprinting for learning on Humanoid Robot MD Professors of Surgery, for example, and for developing Precision Medical Education data? And, brainstorming, since you lived in Mongolia for a year (per your introduction), how would you create a Mongolian World University and School Medical School in the Mongolian languages ... partly in the back of Toyota Ambulance Vans/similar, and even with Toyota Humanoid Robot MD Professors of Surgery and in all specialities in medicine (24 by one count) and with a physical-digital #RealisticVirtualEarthForSurgery?
How might MIT OCW-centric wiki World University and School (planning online medical schools in each of all 200 countries and in all 7159 known living languages) collaborate further with your Precision & Translational Medical Education Laboratory, Jesse, and NYU itself, as well as with Stanford Medicine, Jonathan?
Friendly regards, thanks so much, best wishes, and more later,
"Imprinting (Lorenz) on the teacher as learning is a fascinating theory"
The idea of imprinting on a teacher is a fascinating analogy, though it's important to distinguish between Lorenz's original theory of animal imprinting and human learning. Lorenz's theory, which is a form of rapid, irreversible social bonding in young animals, suggests that the first large, moving object seen shortly after hatching becomes the figure of parental attachment. This is different from human learning, which is more complex and influenced by many factors beyond a single, early, critical period.
Lorenz's imprinting theory
Definition: A rapid and irreversible learning process where a young animal bonds with the first moving object it encounters.
Experiment: Lorenz famously conducted experiments with geese, where goslings imprinted on him as their "mother" and followed him everywhere.
Critical period: This bonding happens within a narrow, "critical period" shortly after birth or hatching.
Survival mechanism: It's a survival mechanism, ensuring that mobile young animals follow their parent for protection and guidance.
Applying the theory to human teachers
Analogy: The theory can be used as a metaphor for how students might form a strong, foundational bond with a teacher early in their academic lives, which then influences their future learning and behavior.
Human differences: Unlike animal imprinting, human learning is a much more complex and extended process influenced by a multitude of interactions over a lifetime.
Critical vs. sensitive period: While Lorenz focused on a "critical period," some researchers suggest a "sensitive period," acknowledging that later experiences can still influence and alter earlier bonds and learning.
Teacher influence: A teacher can serve as a powerful role model and source of inspiration, particularly early in a student's education. However, this is not a biologically pre-programmed imprinting in the same way as in animals, but a complex social and emotional connection.
