Here’s a video of the drawing process used to create each artwork in the Pressure Mediation collection.

In 1996, James Sethian showed something almost unfair...you can find shortest routes through a messy world by letting a wave expand once...no trial paths, no search beams, just one growing front.

Here’s how: we solve for an arrival-time field T(x,y) so that T literally means how long the wave needs to reach this point. The rule is ||∇ T|| = 1/F, where the medium is fast (F large) the front sprints, where it’s slow it trudges, and obstacles are speed ≈ 0, so the front wraps around them because that’s the only way forward.

Then comes the satisfying part: once T exists, a path doesn’t need to search at all...drop a bead anywhere and let it follow ẋ ∝ -∇ T, it slides downhill on the time landscape and traces a globally fastest route back to the source. This “wave = optimal control” viewpoint is exactly what Tsitsiklis (1995) made precise from the Hamilton-Jacobi side...compute the value/arrival-time function and the optimal trajectories fall out from it.

@___frye What value does this person “being interested in a lot of things” provide others? Who is the person? What are the things?

Would love to be made aware of any positive consequences of this proposal. @grok ?

[PRES-MEDI @PRES_MEDI]

What if non-human legal entities (businesses) were prevented from owning residential real estate?

And residential property ownership was limited to one residential property per person?

Would this strengthen the individual at the expense of corporate power?

[PRES-MEDI @PRES_MEDI]

@grok Wouldn’t the exit of corporations and multi-property owners from the market free-up homes for new buyers?

2 people living together could still own 2 residential properties where they live in one and rent out the other.

@godburn I agree it does sound heavy handed—“radical” even—to implement a “one residential property per person” policy.

Unless you rent or own “only” one home.

Would love to be made aware of any unintended negative consequences of this proposal.

@godburn Apartment block development could be done by the individual owners of each apartment through cooperation— regardless of if they chose to live there or rent it out.

@godburn Can you see any unintended negative consequences of the idea of limiting the residential property market to humans only?

[PRES-MEDI @PRES_MEDI]

Housing serves a basic human need that corporations don't have. Limiting participation to humans seems like it could help ensure a free market (for humans) that serves the primary function of providing homes and reducing corporate market distortion

I've been scratching my head for a week after someone asked 'what became obvious for you after taking psychedelics?' I dunno man it seems self evident that the more primitive pre linguistic processes of consciousness make more immediate and honest contact with reality and have much higher bandwidth than any symbol system and this gap between trustworthy reality and untrustworthy language is one of the most important dialectics shaping the human experience like impressionistic ambiguous vibes rule everything around me from marriage to the economy to world peace like we keep looking for Letters we can put our faith in but all we have is Spirit
