November

Let's work on Christmas, soon.

Hey! Did you know it's World Series Time? Well, neither did I... not until The Infamous Fourth Game (assuming it was The Fourth Game) and the related Debatable Invites hit The News. So, guess what? Those Freebie Tickets paid for themselves in Marketing Publicity.

LEGO: Childhood Bedroom. I'd consolidate the closets (two into one) and add at least two more full height windows. I'm wanting the space for other (Sorting) projects. So, I'll likely put away, stripping the base, but leaving the base whole.

DREAM: Rooms with multiple exits (such as those churches I've recently discussed) can easily be seen as sorting centers or switches: ala The Prosecutor's "Liar!" or The Priest's "Should I trust Him?"

The Easy Way is hardly ever The Right Way.


Can Ownership of Executing Code be delegated to a Block-Chain? Can a Block-Chain be Self-Executing enough so as to be in Complete Control of its Execution Parameters? What is Executed? When? And Why? {The simple answer is no.}

Η: H, Hypothesis, Posit {a syntax which is unlikely to be carried forward as H & Η (Η) look very much the same}

Η: Self-Determinate Block-Chains are possible. Though, if this is untrue, I'm sure it will have something to do with The Supremacy of Hardware; that is to say, Sandboxed Code is ALWAYS Contained.

Η: ALL Block-Chains are Forkable.

Η: Block-Chain and Function are highly synonymous terms: i.e. a Block-Chain can be Thought of as a Special Type of Function.

Η: There is no way to confer (or confirm) Seniority or Sovereignty of a Forked Block-Chain.

Η: Though others may use a Block-Chain as a means of Validation, no Block-Chain is (reliably) Self-Validating. Though, a Block-Chain may be able to (and I will say, yes, it can) Self-Identify (i.e. differentiate itself {where it begins and ends} from others), this does not mean the self in question is reliably the self it claims to be.

Η: Self-Determinate Self-Executing Block-Chains are possible and (from the outside) are indistinguishable from an equivalently empowered {Function or} OS.

What benefit would such an OS confer? To anyone? Even the OS?

Since ALL Code can be Sandboxed, the question of Self-Determinancy of Block-Chains becomes: Can ALL Sandboxed Code be understood, controlled, and manipulated? Or is Pure Cryptographic Execution possible?

Η: Pure Cryptographic Execution IS Possible! {One cannot hide the Inputs or Outputs (and thus, neither the mapping, given enough time and resources) and even the internal state of such a binary may be observed; but that does not mean one will necessarily understand what's going on.}

And that's that.

My mind is in a pretzel.

Block-Chains' main advantage (it would seem to me) is that they confer/enforce a sort of Participatory Democracy.

Ha. And similarly, Money could be viewed to work the same way in a {True} Meritocracy.


Η: A Crypto OS can be Sandboxed; and thus, captured, duplicated, and gamed.


Nothing says a Function must be Deterministic.

THC: Totally Hypothetical Crisis

Smoking? I think not.
Incense? No.
In truth, I cannot see hampering a Lead Character (i.e. Classical Hero{ine}) with either. I will forgive an Alien {and/or one existing in an artificial atmosphere, trying to get the settings just right}. And then, my mind turns to Barbecue (if not a Smoke Lodge). Yeah, I don't think I'll be distinguishing a Human Villain with either defect, either. So, to maintain fun, I need to (or may benefit from) introducing an Alien Hedonist. Some sort of Outcast Elf immediately comes to mind.

My Grasp on Reality is becoming Critical. I do not take The Real World (and/or The Physical or Material World) as seriously as I should/might/could.

OM: How does one improve relations with The Brainlings... and all the rest? To some extent, I believe there is some (great) overlap between the answer to this and the issue of Government & Ethics at large. How does one rule a Cat or a Rat?

MEDIA: Norsemen.
S1: Inspired
S2: Less So
S3: Growing Bored. Perhaps, the gag has run its course.

Existential Crisis are unavoidable. Even a Christian, once in Heaven, must decide what to do with The Rest of Eternity.

FOOD: Another Huge Pork Roast

Magical Thinking? I'm all over that, these days.

FOOD: Peanut Butter Cookies
1 Egg

Everything cannot know if it is, indeed, everything.

God (et al) cannot be certain of Its all inclusiveness.

A god cannot know if it has been sandboxed by a greater more-inclusive god... nor whether other gods exist in dimensions unknown.


You can't pay Blood back with Water.

DREAM: I followed (travelled with) an Entity for quite some time, longer than usual. I'd lose him around corners; but he was waiting for me on the other side. Friendly, he knew (or easily met) loads of folks along the way. He'd bought some donuts and still had 4.5 out of 5 left. So when someone wanted to buy them, I suggested he sell 2 for $5 to make back the original investment. He was not in favour of the idea. And that's when our travels together ended and I woke up. I liked his way of being... far more friendly and open than I am. Essentially, He interacted with The Other Entities as I would.

I will not be renewing my Cultural Memberships. I have not gone much of anywhere for 18 Months.

SORT: Museum Membership Card.

WALK: The Tree did not get me... today. Twice, thus far. But not today... or not yet, today. I've got a lap or two to go.


I often say, "Friendlies are welcome." And by this I mean, all Beings or Entities who are Kind, Honourable, Moral, and Ethical are Welcome: i.e. with them, I wish to make contact and form alliances. It is my intent to trade Friendly for Friendly.

When it comes to my agenda, there is considerable (if not complete) crossover between DREAM, OM, and what I tend to call Honour... or mean by Friendly {and/or Friendship for Friendship}.

A Friend of a Friend is a Friend... and all that. But I am not yet willing to tag on an Enemy of my Friend...

DREAM: Upon waking, the dual lights of the air filter appeared as incomprehensible scrolling text: random letters; but still, letters.

Q: How do you make The Gods laugh?
A: By telling them a good joke.
/funny

I apply knowledge in the creation of story. Story is my motivation. It is what I do. It is my life at the most profound level. It is the reason (or at least, self-selected reason) for my existence.


Happiness is neither earned nor unearned. It is simply a decision to exist in a certain state of being.

Η: The more one let's go, the less one hangs onto, the easier happiness becomes, everything being an obstacle in its path, a something to overcome or achieve prior to happiness. But happiness only requires a decision... followed by a dogged pursuit (not of intermediary goals; but rather) of the same.


Snow! Sort Of. Kind Of.

I'd rather hang with The Brainlings.

Great Art cannot be improved by the imagination of the viewer. It is already the perfect example of what it is.
/Greatness...

As I see it (thus, Η by another name), Block-Chains instantiate trust as a Transaction Cost. But Gold is no substitute for Honour. And any such system can be gamed (i.e. cheated) given sufficient incentive (i.e. whenever Gain is greater than Cost).

Can't, Won't, Didn't: It's all pretty much the same thing.

Would I consider myself A Friendly? I would like to. I aspire to.

DREAM: Spaghetti in my Boots. Gobs & Gobs of it. "It's the most food I've ever had in my boots," I remarked to an attendant who was cleaning it up from where I'd tossed it under a chair... and who subsequently added a bit of water to it in a miner's pan and started to nibble on it before my eyes. I'd just left a hospital ward (no procedure for me). And prior to that, I had paid for a bag of wafer sucker candy (forget the name of the type, sort of like Smartees, only bigger) in part with chocolate bars I took out of my pocket, which was interesting because some of those I needed to add to the tally, as not being mine. Yeah. Not interesting. I know. I was on a Hospital Ward (odd): fairly, mostly, community sleeping. Damn, but those Brainlings are easy going and friendly. I write this all down, in part, because this was The Dream that woke me up; and thus, I believe, it contains something that needs/needed my attention and input. Perhaps, all those in the ward (or seating area) who I never spoke to, that remarkable (sight unseen) transition from one seating area (at edge of hospital ward) to another (on the first floor, the ward being on the penthouse level), or even where I was going next? Yeah, it was the other Entities (note the switch from Brainlings to Entities) with whom I did not engage.

Turn that smile upside down.


DREAM: At my (off-screen, unremembered) prior request, insinuation, or suggestion, He (known) dyed His hair gold with luminous green highlights, turning to purple as time went on. His skin was gold, as well. More punk than anime. The change suits. We may have turned a corner. I'm certainly ready to play.

DREAM: If the aesthetics stay (and maybe, if not), I will call him The Golden Boy... or Child, but Boy seems (is) better. So, Golden Boy, it is. Why not? I certainly hope the change lasts for at least a (remembered) Dream or two, so as to solidify my re/new/ed interpretation.

Let's work on that.
new: primary (interpretation)
renew: secondary
I don't so much want to emphasize the primary interpretation, as fade the secondary.
renewed, it is... almost, has to be.

Golden Boy: not so much idõlized, as ideàlized.

EYES: The Patterns (as opposed to Visions or Dreams) I see so easily these days may simply be a function of how little I use my eyes, keeping them closed by default (let's say over half the time), and my eyes' desire to keep on keeping on, seeing what they can.

1. Vision
• Physical Sight
2. Pattern
• Swirling Abstractions
  • a search for something to see
3. Vision
• Solid Apparitions
  • a coalescing
4. Dream
• Falling In
  • I seem to lose myself in the process

MEDIA: Eminem - Lose Yourself (remix w/ tons of guest rappers). Slams! Hard!

I'm more gourmand than gourmet.

DREAM: Often as I awaken and watch The Brainlings circle 'round {short segments of light, akin to stretched dots, slowly swirling in a circle, as if going down a drain}, I see a small aperture (opening, hole, whatever) close.

DREAM: Driving (well, riding) through the old (childhood) neighborhood, trees were down everywhere.

FEEL: Angry Thoughts. But not so angry. So, that's an improvement... of sorts.

DREAM: Beige Jeeps were turning off the street (at the end of the lot, by a childhood friend's house), diving into a puddle, and disappearing from view. So, I decided to stop and hitch-hike, there. Third vehicle was a heavy industrial (multi-stage) truck. The driver hollered out, opened the door, and a small yapping happy (puppy) dog greeted me. I got in. Control Room. "You can sit there." Nice comfortable chair. "You any good at hacking?" To which I say, "I don't want to get your hopes up." But he knows, "You got here. You must be good." And fade out. Dreams in the distance. Might as well call them visions. I'm glad The Trucker stopped. I hope I helped him, returned the favour.

DREAM: Clearly, I still need a driver.

The real world doesn't work in words; that's just a human invention.

KDM: Kevin's Dance Party. No Drugs. No Sex. No Rock 'n Roll. I view this as being held in The Basement (parent's house, Childhood abode). I really take over that basement in my Daydreams. Often, lately, the center (when I Meditate) is in the basement, back by the Freezer, next to the woodshop.

Basement: Stairs. Under Stairs. Model Railroad Table. Big Red & White Tiled Play Area (big enough for a 20+ guest KDM). Sewing & Craft Storage. Bedroom (not counted in the original four). Office. Hall of Books. Backroom (includes the rest). Storage. Open Area. Lots of Storage. Wash Basin. Sump Pump. Chemistry Lab Workbench. Work Shop (wood) w/ Table Saw & Three Full Size Benches (Tables, along with Lathe). Center Weight Area. Dedicated Shelving Area (call it three at 4'x8'). Freezer. It was a big (four bedroom house w/ dining, living, and family room) w/ a full basement. I take that basement over a lot in my daydream musings.


It's not so much that money has been alienated from labor, which it has; but that money has been alienated from honour.

Q: What is this world missing?
A: Honour.

Maybe, much more. But honour really sticks out all the time to me.

A World w/o Honour.
A Man w/o Meaning.

I die... and do not care.
/for nothing

Yeah, that last syntax isn't correct. It's an optional insertion. But none of the alternative mark-ups are pleasing to me:
/{for nothing}
/(for nothing)
-for nothing
{/die for nothing}


In the end, these notes constitute a fairly large (over-reaching) project.

WALK: Yappy Dog (more so) & Driver (less so) have joined me. I'm (sort of) giving them a tour of my world; hence, the digression into honour (and the lack thereof) as an explanation for such pointless ugliness.

DREAM {in reference to}: I'm happy. Those few steps and words of introduction felt like I'd completed my bargain w/ The Driver, solved that bit of The Puzzle.

WALK: The leaves are doing their thing.

Yappy Dog is a Happy Dog.

DREAM: Yet another pseudo-work phone call where the line goes dead and the person on the other end stops talking.


I am trapped in a Maze: A Logic Puzzle comprised largely of Words. Let those (i.e. words) go and The Sky is The Limit.

Of course, I have The Sky behind closed eyes in mind, the endless expanse below the surface.

Memory & Soul: I am not my memories. Memories are part of State; {whereas} Soul, Operational Parameters. I would be whom am in a different State; but over time, said State would/will change me, as I improve my Being: the important part, my Soul.

For completeness, my original schematic was orderless:

/ / / /

This would be the algorithm (from months back) needed to count an infinity of infinities... even if such infinities are nested infinitely deep. The pattern {required to count such an assemblage} exists even if it cannot be enumerated {to completion, just like every other infinity}.

Once again, I do not know the utility of Multi-Dimensional Infinities.


Η: An infinitely long measuring tape will not be long enough to measure an Infinite distance. While at the same time, the converse is true.

Η: ∞ < ∞ & ∞ > ∞


If my words are not believed, there is little point in sharing them.
