Thanks, Bron, it means a lot. 🙏 Art and music are good distractions in stressful times. I'm glad you have them. You should share some of your work. I'd love to see. 🧐

I'm doing well! Still busy getting LUME ready for review. Being me, I'm auditing and testing everything and then doing it again. What started as a paper is now a manuscript. LUME 2.0 has already been imagined. I really want to share exactly what LUME can do, hopefully soon. How are you doing?

I've seen that in the news here. It's alarming to see how much he's straying from established norms. I'm imagining it's unconstitutional? November 2028 still seems a long way off.

There’s a pattern beneath the shift. Not randomness or failure. Just a deeper kind of order I’ve been circling for a while without naming it.

I had a theory and tried to prove myself wrong. I tested it more than I trusted it. I tried to break it but I couldn't. Each time I pressed harder, the structure grew stronger. That’s when I knew it was worth building. It's amazing.

Order tends to find its own way. Forcing often leads to the opposite. #musing #emergence

The more we look at emergence, the more we realise the groundwork is often assumed, not explained. I’ve been exploring a way to model this from the ground up - without assumptions. Coming soon.

If black holes truly erased quantum information, empty space itself would radiate at an impossibly high temperature, around 10³² K. Clearly, that's not happening, so something deeper must be wrong. MORE INFO: qspace.fqxi.org/articles/165...

Much Ado About Nothing *** I shared a theory with AI and it suggested I write a paper. We argued. I stood my ground. My theory grew. It's been surreal. A little overwhelming. And more than mind-blowing. I hope to share it sometime.

I know people think he's a genius, but I think he's very niche, and his overall intelligence is fairly average? Firstly, he's a fan of Trump. And if that doesn't say it all . . . You'd think someone who's supposed to be as smart as people suggest would avoid drugs that mess up his brain.
