whatever/whatever. Honestly, just refer to me whatever I vibe to you as. I'm pretty ambivalent towards my pronouns and my sense of identity is always in flux.

What are gods but people we invented and attached to Too Large concepts, in a way to bring those concepts down to a human-sized level in a way that we could leverage our social understanding, our social "technology", to understand and interact with them.

If I ever had FU levels of money, I'd fund a Journal of Negative Results.
That is, a journal that consisted of nothing other than well-run experiments that failed to produce meaningful results.
ALL data is good data.

My proposed holiday, Valentine's Eve, Red Queen's Night is a holiday for grieving relationships, for toasting empty seats to welcome the loss.

We need more liminal holidays, imo. The commercial world has metabolized events that used to invite introspection, or honoring the dead, or the turning of the year.
That metabolism has left us with a legacy of hollowed out "holidays" that are largely surface level, performative and obligatory.

So, Red Queen's Night:
For a few years now, I've been toying with a holiday idea that would take place on Feb 13th, "Valentine's Day Eve".
I'd love to capture the spooky vibes of Halloween, but for a mid-winter holiday instead.

Anybody interested in creating a new holiday for February 13th, Valentine's Day Eve?
We can call it Red Queen's Night.

Another one of my goblin tribe write-ups:
Screaming Maw Clan - Minor tribe; Sibling tribe to the Trap Jaw Horde.
Brutish and hulking, even amongst other members of their species. One is reminded of the so-called great apes from far off lands.

We get so caught up in the spectacle of the every day. How do we create and make meaning for ourselves in our lives when everything around us has been commodified?
We have to give up something to bring this world of ours to life.

A ritual is like an invitation to enter a space.
The experience of the ritual is what happens if you accept that invitation.
The ritual of carving then lighting up a jack o'lantern is an invitation for the holiday of Halloween.

This is a collection of goblin tribes that I doodled up ages ago. What's fun is I can give you the details of each tribe.
Having all of those stories up in my head doesn't do anybody any good, so I'm going to write up the details of each one. A paragraph or two.
I'm aiming for about one a week.

What I've built is more like a diagnostic tool than an analytic one. You won't find answers, per se, but you'll be able to untangle ambiguous states and figure out where states got tangled and diverged.

I haven't *quite* gotten to that point yet, but my notational framework should be pretty easy to implement via code.

If anybody's interested, these are my working notes while I'm doing my philosophical reading. I've opened it up for comments.Very loose and ongoing. I've also added my Principles of Liminality at the top for quick reference.

For whatever mad reason, I'm working on writing up what I'm finding into a tentative paper. The logic of the ambiguous and the liminal.
I've derived a series of laws/principles for it, which means it should be teachable as a philosophical practice.
I have no idea why I'm doing any this.

Consciousness as something that metabolizes liminality.
It occurs to me that this is reason why jokes stop being funny, and why we experience semantic satiation. Liminal metabolism. We consume the ambiguous thing, until it loses its ambiguity and we're left with noise.

Lazy habits I've developed for playing TTRPGs that help the GM. My character has:
- a sketchbook and knows how to draw
- prophetic dreams or visions, if the setting allows
These give the GM easy outs if they want us to remember something or point us in a direction without giving away the plot

It occurs to me that I have absolutely no clue on how to actually build an audience without also feeling like I'm spamming and/or making a nuisance of myself.
I suppose I just need to start sharing more and pray to the algorithm gods.
Please, oh Master Algorithm! May my words find an audience!

In case anybody cares, I'm putting this up to get eyes on it. It's a tentative set of principals that I've been tinkering with to help make sense out of some of the math principles I've also been playing with.
