• a [[game]].
  • not to be confused with [[braid]] -- which is amazing by the way.
  • Braids is a solitaire/coop game I think I may have invented :)
  • It goes like this:
    • you [[count]], from zero up.
      • I do this while meditating, but that's optional, I guess.
        • unless we're always meditating?
          • ([[buddha nature]] and all)
        • or we're entities programmed to do so.
    • as you count, you visualize the [[number]].
      • I do a version of [[box breathing]].
        • It helps me reach [[samatha]].
        • as I [[breathe in]], I count [[up]] the side of a square 👆
        • as I hold, I traverse a lateral edge ▶
        • as I [[breathe out]], I try to [[factorize]] the number if I want and I [[go down]] 👇
        • as I am yet not breathing in, I optionally rest as I [[go left]] ◀️
      • I start at [[0]] and move up according to three default rules:
        • increase the number by one
          • so after [[1]] comes [[2]]
        • increase one of its [[factors]] by one and multiply
          • this is equivalent to the above for a [[prime]], it reduces to the rule above
          • the choice can be made to encode a number by convention, like order
        • extra rules can be agreed and numbered
      • a braid is what players achieve by counting up to a certain number through different paths

Method of Loci

• A [[mnemonic]] [[device]].
• [[go]] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci pull
  • [[quote]] the [[method of loci]] is a [[strategy]] of memory enhancement which uses visualizations of familiar spatial environments in order to enhance the recall of information. The method of loci is also known as the [[memory journey]], [[memory palace]], or [[mind palace]] technique.

• #pull [[meditation technique]] [[braids]] [[randomness]]
  • A kind of [[mind palace]] I've been developing.
  • It's distributed around the [[Agora of Flancia]]; the following is an excerpt.
