Compilation of a complex of ideas around the creative negative (think: pregnant silence). These ideas keep recurring as I explore the intersection of Buddhism and psychoanalysis. Thought I will register these for future reference.

To complete the trifecta:

everything is logic, except logic, which is geometry

[Prathyush @prathyvsh]

everything is topology, except topology, which is logic

The distinction between attention and awareness by @m_ashcroft is interesting.

Attention: the spotlight that you can move from thing to thing
Awareness: the space that attention can move around within

The yellow area indicates awareness and the small circle within is attention.

The work here is slow but steady and I think Murat is on to creating a very interesting conlang for programming. Kudos for doing something like this amidst the AI hype with attention getting diverted to is AI alive debates, AI rights activism, and other distractions.

Fun little bug I ran into while making the auto-counter for the cards in Eris.

[Prathyush @prathyvsh]

Time to start coding this up. Implemented placing the proposition cards around. I have plans to shift this to WebGL soon, but for now I'm experimenting with Canvas2D and attempting to push its limits to see how much of gradients, shadows, and animations I can achieve.

Why do many of these AI-slop websites use colors in the ballpark of Cosmic Latte (#FFF8E7), which is supposed to be the average color of the universe? Think thereʼs some analogue of Conwayʼs law at work here.

The world of computation gets predominantly accessed through the alphabet. This text-centricness keeps us blind from the world of beautiful geometric forms that underly computation. Here is Sussman talking about a bijection between SICP and manifolds!

The idea of God as the immanentization of human urge to create a surveillance panopticon hits hard.

With a table model in place we can introduce direct manipulation interfaces to work with structured data. In the demo below, we create a new computed column and further aggregate it into a summary row below using just drag and drop.

Thank you for the kind words 🙏 Did not realize there was such admiration for the work. My goal is to turn this into an environment where a user can represent the premises of their day-to-day arguments and draw out the conclusions and detect the logical flaws in the structure.

@pranavpramod Found a new one in this direction — The sense of Adharma by Ariel Glucklich: https://t.co/VRq52Df6Ma

Apparently, the idea here is that dharma is a living image that has to be sustained temporally and gets tied up with adharma invariably.

[PatternAtlas @patternatlas]

Recently went down a brief dive to understand the Hindu concept of Dharma. Hereʼs a small reading list of the resources I stumbled on. You can get all of them in one place here: https://t.co/O97cQb8LHQ

[PatternAtlas @patternatlas]

@pranavpramod That's about it. Please feel free to contribute any papers / articles / blogposts that shines light on the idea 🙏

I think it hasnʼt reached many in the Tools for Thought adjacent interface design / engineering circles but Bret Victorʼs thoughts on how reliance on AI is counter to human growth is well worth reading:

[Prathyush @prathyvsh]

Modus Ponens in the house. Now, I think I have a decent smattering of operators, introducers, and eliminators for this environment with which I can prove conjunctions, disjunctions, and implications.

[Prathyush @prathyvsh]

Expanding the playground to include disjunction (∨).

[Prathyush @prathyvsh]

Great post on how the history of human tool progression is about sharpening and how the touch interface blunted it, taking us further away from being in close contact! It is worth translating this to English! https://t.co/brDmjFTbUh
