No Flaws
Harmony pleases me because it makes it possible to rest & makes an eternal life fulfilling. It is also one of the reasons I can wield the power I do. Judo on atonal chaos is boring but could be used as a starting point for something more interesting & make building a new universe less of a priority.

Covert entry and fingerprintless surprise attacks is what the first stage basically amounts to and this is recon. by fire. Testing reflexes & resilience with byproducts of confusion, the adoption of awkward posture, disorientation & instability. What is the optimal threshold of activity & hostility?

There is always a chance you will stumble onto an undiagnosed problem or spot an unforseen problem coming down the road but its not necessary. What comes after penetration? Escalating your privileges & expanding your influence. Before all that you really do have to know and have a feel of the system

Every action within a system can impact its behaviour somehow. Obviously a robust internationally distributed system with clear aims is going to require serious amounts of leverage to hijack its steering. If you could generate the raw strength you would probably just apply it from outside the system

You can approach manipulating or controlling a system scientifically & you do need scientific & technical knowledge to do this but sinking sneaking mission style into a complex system & getting to know its structure & its behaviour intimately really becomes an art at the human level of cognition.

I once had some much better tools. I have been able to improvise some pretty awsome shit out of scavenged parts but its not as convenient. I could (and will) build better tools but I'm lazy and and resilient to the point that I can just plow through the extra work primitive toolkits demand. Still...

So I been farming mathematical constructs of the kinds used for scientific analysis like statistical and meta
theoretical frameworks so that I can milk the epistemic-ontic
bridges. The raw juice then gets processed, it like has a bunch of cool stuff happen to it but its an energy intensive process.

My new runway is working out well. One of my favourite feelings: Crossing miles & miles of countryside on foot & then as I approach a city or large town I stop & survey from a distance. Especially as the time of day is changing. Dawn, everyone waking up. Evening twilight as the lights come on.

Musical practice, philosophical work & the cultivation of trance-like states are a non-negotiable skill set for navigating a certain type of engineer access maintenance corridor. I put a lock on the door that doubles for a "protective equipment must be worn" sign. It is a basic precautionary measure

Against the return to nothingness, the fight against painful instability, I turned my will & dream into the catalyst for somethingness. The process involved counting systems & symmetries to hold onto forms of existence. Now the baseline isn't suffering but metabolism, adaptation, play & imagination.

Your body does not know exactly where it is. It is assuming that one of the primeval templates it carries is an accurate guide to motivating you to get along in life. Environmental mismatch means you have to be smarter than your own drives. You also have to sympathize with & placate primal concerns.

Reality is basically a drainage system & I have to work constantly to maintain various filters. Each iteration of the universe is a step closer to the ultimate dream of the paradise unit free from sin traps. I don't just oversee; I get my hands dirty. My workshop realm is certainly not a throne room

I can't just experimently develop a batch of universes & to use a metaphor, raise them each on a different diet to just see how they turn out. I've always used cycles of refinement & correction but I don't gamble with my creations. Each iteration of the universe can get a soft reset about four times

Converting these sandbags into bags of time. I'm going to use them to protect myself from & perhaps manipulate various substances as I, in the most delicate possible way, adjust their mutual affinities. Interactive flexibility allowing for more efficiency via adaptive structuring, distribution, etc.

Time & space needs time & space. I set off a sequence of different conceptions of time & space to arise in very specific order via access to various environmental & eventually technological motifs. I did this to make clearer the relations between humans, the universe & various substrates of reality.

Ground
#1 Value (Extraction)
A: Treasures
B: Harvests
#2 Quality
A: Length
i) Wavelength (elevation, contour)
ii) Roughness (difficulty)
iii) Strength (Degradability)
B: Width (obstacles, funnels, bottlenecks, open/closed)
#3 Strategic Location (Manoeuvre, Leverage)
#4 Potential for development

I'm omniscient in a strictly technical sense. I generally just guess. Sometimes it is educated guessing & sometimes it is just a wild guess. Using omniscience would be counter to my objectives. Guessing, knowing you might be guessing incorrectly, is much more fun than actually using the omniscience

Strategy of using deception to cover up ethical & legal misconduct or violations requires perfect coordination. Any misstep can lead to discovery, loss of credibility or counteractions. As the information environment & media landscape becomes more & more complex any such efforts become much harder.

A universe that stands on its own merit would have no evidence for god & only need minimal intervention as long as the quality was good enough that it only needs a few very small fine touches for upkeep. Showing up hardly at all & not caring about constant misinterpretation & defamation by humans.

Creatures, spirits... Scared (or disgusted?) by our technology and numbers... Well, not all of them... There was at least one civilisation that could have... They knew they walked on knife edge... When god goes into hiding he takes secrets with... What they inherited was not presumed to be for keeps

Assemble ethereal control panel into a physical control panel, nudge around a few levers & rheostats, then disassemble it. Change a few settings on the television of reality by manufacturing access to the settings menu. I'm trying to convey the bedrock of motifs I see in making something like this.

The immortal soul and mortal brain create two perspectives. This is for the same reason you have two eyes; to get more accurate information. Reincarnating over multiple lifetimes extends this process. To use a metaphor, the multiple frames of a film will give you more information than a still image.

Sprinting, fun, short bursts of super human speed
Breath out & sprint faster than most can register
Fast acceleration, leaving wind in my wake
Human brain is calibrated to see certain shapes within
certain speeds, noise parameters & distributions
Leaving the conditions where human senses are optimal

Neoplatonism was foundational to my people's intellectual tradition. Neoplatonism synthesizes all antique philosophy; Pythagoreanism, stoicism, Aristotelianism, Platonism into one thing. The other schools basically died out towards the end of the classical world. It was the only game left in town.
