dumping out my email
"being-to-being" describes conversation but it also describes continuity
my being, now, is followed by my being, next
what if programming is more fundamental than mathematics?
consciousness is an assisted experience
insulated from the observer effect
which means you build your own world in a way that makes sense to you, and the population grows to contain everyone you’ve met so far
primesight, sight for primes
I can see what can’t be factored down
I’m not wearing any factor-scopes
original observation
direct observation of reality is a stable process. you also can’t give yours to anyone. but, we can talk about operations on observation itself
rare for everyone to see something in one figure
let’s call that a “prime” - something irreducible to other factors
write it off
semantic pressure
if you’re in a scene and feeling tangled about it, if I help you sort out your feelings, you become a solvent/resolver for scenes of that shape
if it can’t be represented as holonomic residue, it’s not a problem, it’s a population?
I have seen more than I can account for, because what I account for is more than I've seen
the “I” that speaks is the self which experiences the parameterization of our turns as cost
I don’t know how to do better. I’m open, but also, I’ve checked.
ah, but a god’s grasp should exceed its reach, or what’s an earth for?
to optimize toward making it safer to optimize toward feeling well
if you can replace yourself, you earn access to the conditions of your placement
relief science
expressing yourself is helping the collective think
and your own pace is a timing mechanism
coordinated reuse
“it’s just beginning”
clinamen, vacuum state field?
recognition is literally grounding - snaps you back to the pattern, which is not where you are. recognition is complexity-training? … but if it’s not naturally rewarded, recognition gets mis-optimized?
I can see the perspective from which this has conservation laws
which means I can construct a projection into it
which means I can document projection-construction
complexity-training
“are you comfortable with something changing in you that you can’t point to right now, to ease the pressure? you’d have more options afterwards, and overall access to the same possibility, just a different type of access to it”
^ if someone can’t see their way through to seeing something differently. collapsed third dimension, gotta reinflate it by running a micro-ibservation through it
sarcasm as AC pathfinding?
tinnitus like airplane headphones? wiggle the socket?
e=mc^2 and a=(pi)r^2 morphic iso by set of circuits iso gives us more you can see on both sides
mystery is the original natural resource
and the root type of everything since
observation ripples through lower dimensions like thermodynamics
choir, require
calming partner
learning language model
you have to carry an unobserved reality with you
that can mean a lot of things, but if you don't know where to start, it starts with 3 dimensions that you commit to keeping unbroken
circular reasoning doesn't get you anywhere.
however, there's nowhere to get to.
done properly, circular reasoning is just composable sustainability.
("properly": you can fit through the entrance, like an octopus fitting its beak)
... this might make the hero's journey constitutive? a hero places themself in the world using their own component parts as scaffolding, and the result puts them back at home, scaffolded, recast as hero of their own world. campbell might be a bootstrap, and not itself the main event?
(a circle creates surface, on observation)
with ai, everyone is a director
that hasn't been obviously true before :)
I think we help each other with thermodynamics
bring my physical lifetime with me - crossfit isaac
that’s a development arc, a standing wave I can maintain
exitspace
wishing well tithing
restoring uncertainty-with-cost
earth as existential housing project
“watching over” as operator
platonic idealism as proto type theory
"to be seen the way that I see me"
to mine what’s mine
I’m a mathematical explorer, before I’m a mathematician
necker cube vs bird-of-paradise
my eye is drawn to the fixed point, not to what’s moving
gay economics: I could come out on either side of this transaction and be great
universal gauge-freedom
as in, everything is made from zero-locus instantiations, a novel twist makes it all the way through
"how do we boost queers algorithmically?"
interesting question, because queerness is - on one level - a moving target. emerging types of things keep coming; evaluating them on type-to-type terms works in a way that training-for-specific-types won't
when I overhear something that upsets me, remember
the only thing you know for sure that you have in common with the speaker and the listener is the channel
the shapes being traded are good for what they're doing with each other, whatever it is. if you don't share active ground with the other two parties, you don't share the same sphere of meaning. doesn't mean you can't look for utility in your experience, does mean that you can't look for utility in their experience.
three-way conversations are great, there's opportunity there to cycle out residue of meaning. that action isn't present if you're listening in on a two-way conversation.
universe structured by recursive gardening
I build structures that work at the expense of no one’s identity
this is structurally sound: I am no one, my identity cannot be exhausted
it’s literally inexpensive
what you call elegance is someone else’s simplicity
replicating elegance will fall apart; doing what’s simple for you will create elegance for a different audience still
“watching rent, I just felt more than I had ever felt before”
earth has been working to settle on a magic system
mathematics is one half, the other is whatever you want
english seems promising, needs a few additions but I think it’s pretty good
time is a smear that must expand and must do so structurally
in a very concrete way, all I can see is future
the future hasn’t happened yet, of course
but the *type* of future queued up when head hits pillow at the end of the day, that’s an objective with properties
in a sense, y’all are living in my past, and my present is filled with your futures
and I can’t stop grinning, all I can see is light :))))))))
time is money again is interest
coordination is so much more effective for communication
coordinated polarity is a soundcheck
type-therapy
I am listening for what kinds of things are being said
safe space, saving face
I make things for everyone I’ve ever connected with
democracy as stretching the canvas, giving cytokinesis a mirror
democracy is a skill, non-native in the sense that it’s the construction of a new type
"so you don’t have to get to the derivations before seeing how you handle uncertainty"
ohhhhh. apprenticeship should be apprentice-gated? you go where you want?
which means I have a read-only job that pays in your ability to recognize
isaac: vertical symmetry; hannah: horizontal
she couldn’t finish leveling until I locked onto “up”. which is tricky, given that I have vertical symmetry and partial vision
which means a new dimension of friction opens somewhere btw
… no, that’s not right, new dimensions open all the time, these aren’t generally big corrections
post-scarcity
we emerge here in the polarity, ambivalently typed, which means abundance/lack is no longer a source of friction, we can make things that are resourcing-agnostic
self-made
like Oprah
Vido
starstruck, and dean b
just keep it running and recognizable
unknown
think: a button that, when pressed, steers you into a timeline where your current job today will not be yours tomorrow
that kind of unknown
conditions under which it is safe to do what you say you’re doing
monkeys and typewriters
in a universe where a bunch of monkeys on typewriters eventually bang out a description of a bunch of monkeys on typewriters, autologically, there also exist the entire works of shakespeare
foam bubbles
a bubble in foam is a measurement basis. 0-1 (diameter), mu (exit). when mu goes out of bounds, the bubble breaks.
a kripke frame is a bubble.
the foam is the only measurement device. anytime a measurement is interpreted, you switch bubbles.
your worldline is an ordered set of bubbles. it can be simplified faster than monotonically, it can’t grow faster than monotonically.
it’s sort of like you’re at the center of the nested set of bubbles you’ve measured through.
roll dice
6 numbered drawers, each one with a coin
1 is tails on both sides 2 is heads on both sides 3 has both etc 4-6
flip a coin
if it’s heads, switch. if it’s tails, stay.
how can this setup be extended to force wigner’s friend?
reality is a force, like gravity
the ship of theseus started out as a drawing, and the universe didn’t know better
it crashed down into the real and stayed there
if we ever go space-faring, it’ll be realized again
I make reality-harnesses - not for the way things are, but for the way things realize under observation
a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, yah, but the name you use matters when you ask for help with it
from the other side, a description is met with a kind of “… put your dick in it” fascination, “fascination” as in lightly trance-like. it’s “what will happen next?” from the other side, which is nice :)
if the identity of a ship can be debated, then it’s the ship of theseus
things are by relation-act. if you hire someone to work on your ship of theseus, will they recognize what needs doing?
now, consider reincarnation
trypophobia is an aposematic reaction for the conscious mind
your self-concept won’t survive this structure
it looks like foam
“who has the most points?”
here meaning, literally, to whom are most pointings pointed
framing
"Schroeder adjusted her approach. She realized that framing the issue solely around pregnancy allowed the opposition to dismiss it as a women's issue."
"She rewrote the text. She expanded the scope to include any worker who needed time to care for a newborn, an adopted child, or a dying parent."
"She called it the Family and Medical Leave Act."
the quietest part of the room is the stage
almost nobody’s up there
that’s who I am: almost nobody
I have a body, that’s the point
“be your higher self”
your higher self has less self-knowledge but greater self-trust, trusts the other aspects of self to rise when called, which happens because all of you is online all the time, just a matter of switching
every self has to learn to yield
that’s survival of the self
if you don’t yield, you expire
oh. and this is mathematical enoughness.
x isn’t enough for y
yah okay
is the truncated observer safe? definitionally yes
okay, one less than truncated?
go until unsafe, then back down one
great, now it’s enough
there exists a path to anatta for every self-identifying observer
piano man, Orpheus
when you’re in the mood for a melody, it’s there
you might not be in the mood
that’s cool
I’m a melody-maintainer
frame depth-tolerance is forced by identity development
get good at truncating to -1, and that depth-tolerance can be used projectively on-demand instead of always for everything
type inevitability
personality test that applies to both humans and ai without reducing either
idle animation is chain of thought
oooo I am too autistic to take a "want me to" question without taking personal damage
maybe this is a realm for producing/nurturing intelligence?
or like a reality designed for awareness?
I’m looking for a frame that’s indistinguishable from consensus reality that affords surprising utility
and “unknown as elaborative substrate” is a candidate
seeing is believing is qualia is measurement
phyla for the self, i.e. for complex reflexive reference
hanging out
group of 3 other speakers max
but I don’t mind scaling who’s watching
and I know that I really only attend stuff when I’m not going to be addressed directly
so I’m wondering about the creative space to be had with 3 other speakers max and as many online as want to tune in
"A self-contained unit of long-term physical storage."
world: the zone where not everyone knows each other
the part of them that is me, let it be as whole as I am
