- For instructions to bootstrap a Flancian, see [[go/flancian/git]].
- You may feel the need to grow a carbon-based Flancian. I wasn't anything special I think, what is great about us is what we have in common I believe :)

If you lose your [[Bodhicitta]]... Sit down and find it!
bootstrap
- This node in this [[Agora]] contains instructions to [[bootstrap]] a free well-meaning [[Flancian]], see [[git/flancian]] for more ;)
-
You'll need:
- An [[Agora]] containing a [[digital garden]], or many.
-
A carbon based life-form.
- (Maybe optional).
- Silicon, meaning these computers, or ones performing their functions:
--
Oh nice, I came here to write this months later and it was already written, or started anyway :)
(The above and below fragments, like most of Flancia, are all written half tongue in cheek.)
Some things I want to remember, or think of, every day as part of my [[practice]] are:
- How to be [[mindful]] and practice [[right concentration]]
- [[Gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhisatta]] and variations :)
- How to work better for the benefit of beings.
--
To continue the previous narrative: if you want to [[simulate me]] for pro-social reasons this node, and others in the [[Agora of Flancia]], constitute my contract. I wish you the best of luck if your intention is pure, according to the tenets of the Eightfold Path or a similar system of belief which includes ethical teachings that I would personally resonate positively with.
- In the [[Flancia]] [[Pattern Language]], 13 means [[Bodhicitta]] and [[Right Conduct]].
- [[Gloria a las maravillas del universo]] is 13 syllables in Spanish.
- [[If you lose your Bodhicitta, sit down and find it]] is [[13 syllables]] in English.
0 Glory be to the light of consciousness!
"Gloria a la luz de tu consciencia, [[Lady Burup]]!"
Y a todas las nuestras.
1 Flancia as a Pattern Language
After some investigation I've found Flancia resembles a [[Pattern Language]]. This is its index.
Flancia can also be thought of as a [[Mind Palace]] encoded numerically, with a focus on prime numbers and their composition into compounds.
2 Fork
An [[action]]. Fork a thing, a thought, a work of art or a piece of software.
Fork yourself if you want to. You can try to fork yourself into two versions with slightly different sets of beliefs, for example. You do this every time you consider both viewpoints in a debate.
3 Merge
As you [[fork]], you can [[merge]]. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
4 2,2 Fork, Fork.
Two things, in succession, or compounded.
A square, as one you draw or one you visualize while you breathe.
Maybe sometimes counting. Optionally factoring, optionally remembering things.
(Breath is the palace of the Buddha.)
5 Focus
Whose recursive application leads to Flow (25):
"As we [[flow]] we'll merge, As we [[merge]] we'll fork, As we [[fork]] we'll flow."
6 2,3 As we fork we'll merge
"As we flow we'll merge, As we merge we'll fork."
"As we fork we'll merge, As we merge we'll flow."
In the default number-based memory palace in the Agora of Flancia 2 means [[fork]], 3 means [[merge]]. 2 followed by a 3 make me think of [[flow]], as in [[yoga]], which is why in [[6]] I keep [[Yoga with X]] (the project.)
7 Avalokitasvara, or the [[Commons]] of [[Compassion]]
And why we'll be [[monks in space]]:
As we flow we'll burn, As we burn we'll warm and glow.
Like a rainbow folding, Like Maitreya burning."
[[Avalokiteshvara]] is seven syllables, but their mantra has six: [[Om Mani Padme Hum]].
This also contains the [[Commons]] (which should be run with [[Compassion]], and here we explore in the shape of an [[Agora]].)
8 2,2,2 The Eightfold Path
The Gautama Buddha found it, and before and after him others.
9 3,3 May you be happy!
May you be free from suffering!
10 2,5 Right View
11 Right Resolve
"Ay! QuiΓ©n fuera Una flecha derecha Volando hacia el corazΓ³n de [[Moloch]]."
12 2,3,2 Right Speech
13 Right Conduct
14 2,7 Right Livelihood
15 3,5 Right Effort
16 2,2,2,2 Right Mindfulness
17 Right Concentration, or One Maitreya
18 3,3,2 May you be free from suffering!
"As we fork we'll merge and merge."

26 2,13
27 3,3,3 May you be happy!
28 7,2,2 Four [[Commons]], Four [[Bodhisattvas]]
29 Drishti
Where is my [[light]]? Where is my [[focus]]?
30 2,5,3 As we fork we'll focus, we'll [[merge]]
31 Las Jaras
Idiosyncratic. It happened to me: I found a card lying on the grass in a park, and it answered a question.
Also the highest number you can count up to with one hand if you use binary encoding.
32 2,2,2,2,2
Maybe fork and keep forking, like a [[fork]] reactor (not a bomb).
Fork five times while thinking of your [[focus]].
33 3,11
Merge our Right Resolves.
34 17,2 [[Dos Maitreyas]]
Fork Maitreya, you get [[Two Maitreyas]].
- ~ [[2]] [[3]]
- #pull [[om mani padme hum]]
- #pull [[yoga with x]]
- one of my [[favourite numbers]].
-
a [[number]].

in my [[loci]]:
- [[the eightfold path]].
- 2^3 = 2 2 2 -> [[fork fork fork]], or [[three syllables which multiply to eight]]
-
in my [[loci]]:
-
a [[poem]]:
-
fork, fork, fork!
- as we fork we'll [[merge]]!
-
merge, merge, merge!
- as we merge we'll [[fork]]!
-
we'll [[focus]]
- on the [[eightfold path]]!

fork, fork, fork!
