So the difference between "new" and "news" is the difference in the perceived scope? Is this what you've got from Alan Kay's philosophy?

Its the difference between looking at something from a different angle and looking at it from space. It's much harder to go to space [than] to turn your head (well, was much harder before anyone did it - now its easy).

Yeah, that's what I thought too!

I think it's about inferential distance. "News" is only 1 or 2 inferential steps from common knowledge. "New" is several step removed, and as such look alien, crazy, or pointless.

No and of course not.
