sleep research: finding boundaries between wakefulness and consciousness
in erratic background of neuron activity kind of bad article imo, doesnt
give enough detail - but kind of interesting! using filtered frequency
ranges with fourier analysis to find things in 'random noise' to
identify memory decline, memory issues, etc

### cat person and me

<https://slate.com/human-interest/2021/07/cat-person-kristen-roupenian-viral-story-about-me.html>

another article, like me, like <u>my</u> article; like other articles, a
reflection of abuse and how it impacts others. strange relationship with
biography that's almost fiction but not quite - sometimes a
misappropriation of our sstories, but who owns a story?

### building a memex!!

<https://thesephist.com/posts/monocle/>

built a universal full text search engine, indexing lots of public
information online to post - optimizing for time to first result with
just a vague query in mind to see what we have seen before! need
something we also own and understand - this is so important for the
software we write. owning your own services is so valuable. feel safe
allowing it to index my personal and private data - the data is more
personal and significant than other files! should **own** my entire data
stack. incredible experience report so far. should index people i have
met! incredible experience! infraastructural project.

### great site

<https://isthisa.com/> indexes some excellent posts

### bush on the memex

<https://hyfen.net/memex/updates/crystals-esp-and-mind-control> the idea
of the machine!!

### sites

[Personal Websites](../pages/personal-website.org)
<https://maxbittker.com/making-sandspiel> the website is super fun and
the falling sand game specifically - reminds me of all those games about
combining chemicals together!

### <span class="todo TODO">TODO</span> the book of tea

<https://www.sacred-texts.com/bud/tea.htm> teaism - culture unto
itself - promoted by japanese isolation. much ado about nothing? a
tempest in a teacup! in a particular manner for tea = always. heaven is
shattered in struggle for power, but tea is mediation, almost.

### <span class="todo TODO">TODO</span> generative work

1.  physarium

    <https://sagejenson.com/physarum>

    - approximation of physariam transport networks: jeff jones, via
      georgios cherouvim

    - physarium structure effectively searches to find shortest paths!

    - look into simulation systems:

      - containment based
      - simulation based

    - email them about this too! this looks incredible!

2.  particle interactions with deposited substrate

    <https://ciphrd.com/2021/07/07/particle-interactions-using-deposited-substrate-as-communication-layer-ds-cl/>

    - agents deposit substrate into the environment
    - sample environment using sensors
    - systems work well with organic simulations; model after natural
      phenomena!

    great clustering behavior?! look for something that can parallelize
    as well! how do we keep the nature while losing the computational
    complexity? want emerging behaviors to be results of any kind of
    particle interactions. read lots of the referenced articles! love
    decision tree approach based on concentration levels of the
    substrate at specific sensor positions.

    deposited substrate as communication layer framework (helpful to
    have high level models of this behavior!)

    write  
    how do particles modify substrates?

    read + react  
    how to they read substrates and react according to it? reaction will
    always depend on how data is read from environment

    env, update  
    how to environment and substrates evolve over time? are there other
    systems and rules applied to the module?

    ptp interactions  
    does it require true particle to particle interactions?

    particles are often a means to construct the transport network
    rather than visualizing the network itself - we can then re-add
    particles to the networks that appear to be logical but are really
    just approximated from generated paths

    the attraction and repulsion dynamics (local) are fascinating here!
    good use of simulation code throughout the article - big fan of this
    style. come back to this!
