READUP BUILDUP. Thync is the third volume of α-instant readings put up by Florentin Smarandache. Although the style of the reading logs is uniform in the three volumes so far (rough and ready, kernel-extracting, absence of any secondary remarks, and thus masking the author-summarizer), this one address only technical issues from two topics of interest for the author (information fusion / data mining), unlike in previous eclectic books. Notes are taken directly from the source language (one language in this log, more languages before), and there are not abrupt transitions anymore in the selection of information. All works annotated here are from authoritative scientific sources, no more popularizers or debasers. The title of the volume is an aftereffect of juxtaposition of the verb think, and the noun syncronization, resulting in an incentive - unveiled from the first chapter of readings: Think in sync! Far from being just a call to thinking synchronously, the notes speak about communication as activity-together, where the interlocutors share information. Very likely, it resides right here the drive for publication of the instant readings series: to share. Besides, of course, multiple other layers of connotation (demonstrative or paideuma-tic), the reading series resemble an allegorical car, a carriage packed with books and bookmarks, which the author-summarizer shook of ideas. For personal use, but as well for a possible satisfaction of a possible spectator, necessarily perceived as a passer in a hurry, with no aptitude to dawdling around. (Nikos Vasiliou)
