Creating may be something we are only able to do, not something we can describe or understand. For this reason, technology must always play a secondary role to the creation we wish to embody in our preserved records and our preserved documents.

It would be better to lose everything we have recorded, and all of our technology, than to suffer even the slightest diminution in our ability to create.

The inferno of the living is not something that will be; it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day and form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it:

\- The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it.

\- The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of the inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/111750076775508897)

Until we regain access and push the changes of the last few days, keeping with the spirit of improving the resilience of the tools we use I've taken a moment to write a kind of pocket version of the console emulator and self-hosted assembler as to see how many lines are needed to start from the seed assembler and replicate it. A copy of the pocket emulator, the source for the assembler and its hexadecimal representation have been added to the wiki.

Philosopher Ivan Illich described this phenomenon as overgrowth of tools:

“Illich coined the term to describe the situation where we created and came to rely on various tools to solve problems, but then we became overly dependent on these tools and those who wield control over them.

This dependency reaches the point where the tools, rather than serving us, start dictating and molding our lives until we’ve lost sight of their original purpose.” ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/111800607071389823)

Here's The Swarm's iconic "Dead System", but a sort of a nostalgic remaster.

Added UTF-8's multi-byte support to a text editor today, I've always been scared to get into this thing, which seemed messy and confusing at a distance. But the design makes it pretty accessible, for even such a small system as uxn.

The rule is pretty simple:

\- starting bytes are 11xx xxxx

\- continuation bytes are 10xx xxxx

The entire implementation to handle multi-byte characters is a mere 30ish bytes long.

They planned to set up a utopian socialist society known as the Kalevan Kansa, and wrote to visionary Matti Kurikka in Finland to lead the new community.

A concatenative language differs from the functional programming language paradigm where terms correspond to values (including functions) and the fundamental operation is function application. In the Lambda calculus for example all terms correspond to values, function application, or function abstraction. However, in a catlang all terms correspond to functions on a tuple, or the composition of functions (which yields a new function, so is really a function).

Recently, I've been taken by this project of [@wryl](https://mastodon.social/@wryl) that might be of interest to folks diving into minimal virtual machines.

It's a string rewriting scheme with a single operator <>, similar to Thue, with the added capability of binding addresses in the input string to registers and manipulate them during the transcription.

It's an extremely elegant runtime, capable of emulating lisps, type systems, concatenative languages, all without any form of garage collection.

Realized after posting that I could have used an exploding lambda to initialize the memory. It's a bit prettier.

I like this way of programming, it feels like ascii physics. The replacement steps shows my little cursor \`>\` moving across the cons cells until it collides with (), and then bounces back out of the list. It's like Orca, there's no hidden state, everything that relates to the evaluation has to be present in the source, pausing the evaluation at any moment yields a valid program. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/112312193513894255)

String Rewrite Systems are abstract machines that can only replace parts of a string with another.

A rule simply two statements, where "left" is replaced with "right":

<\> left right

The system will attempt to do rewrites until no matches in the input string can be found and the program will terminate.

But most importantly, it's super fun to use to draw graphics. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/112396545378619259)

We often get asked how we spend our times during long transits, there's ALWAYS something to fix.

Our raincoats(Guy Cotton & Grundens) both came with the same defect, because that's what you get when you buy things nowadays.

Both can't tighten the hood because one is missing terminating to the chord, the other straight up doesn't have tensioners.

So that's what we do underway, we harvest parts from other things, and fix stuff. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/112412076579085856)

The inferno of the living is not something that will be; it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together:

\- The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it.

\- The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of the inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space.

Rewriting systems are fascinating, since they're closer to the straight automata realm, there's no pointers, no variables, no functions(think, Orca).

To check if something is in a list, you basically have to implement a 1D physics engine, that sends a signal(a word) down the list, collide with some word or the tail of the list, and bounce back with a signal of its success or failure by rewriting the program as it goes. It's kind of blowing my mind right now.

For a few years now, I have kept my daily scribbles and volatile tasks using the classic Macintosh application Note Pad, it's a very simple program that does just about anything one might want from note taking apps. I haven't done any changes to it except:

\- Double-click selects a whole line, so it's easly to erase a whole task.

And Vermeer with his houseful of children

didn't paint some days, didn't even mix

powders or stretch canvasses, or clean palettes,

but hauled in firewood, cleaned out

a flue, repaired a broken cradle, remembering,

as he bent to his task, how light shone gold

on a woman’s flesh, and gathered

in drops on her pearls.

When a file is compressed using PKZIP, a decompression program, is required to expand the file.

An option in PKZIP allows a simple version of an unzip program to be bundled with each compressed file.

Choosing this option creates an executable file that expands automatically to the original file, avoiding the issue of whether the recipient of a compressed file will have the appropriate decompression software.

I made a tga that contains its own image rendering code.

According to Butler’s model, a place is first “discovered,” then developed. Locals begin to lose control over decision-making, and laborers from elsewhere come to fill new jobs. The number of visitors climbs. At this stage, tourism becomes the dominant economic driver, and the environmental, social, and economic fabric of the original community changes, often to the detriment of locals’ quality of life.”

The following works by accenting letters based on their chromatic distance from the next, so that in every two syllables, the second sound is present merely as an accent to the first.

This plays on the particularity of Solresol of being written entirely with only 7 characters, so that with 3 diacritics placed above a letter to represent the distance of a higher note, and below for a lower note.

Through the lens of an animist language, the hill is less there, than there is occupied at being a hill. She puts it succinctly in "A bay is a noun only if water is dead".

So, [@wryl](https://merveilles.town/@wryl), who created Modal, demonstrated to me an interesting connection between Fractran and rewriting programming languages that I couldn't see at first. It is not obvious until you point the registers to symbols in memory, but once named registers defined in rules start to be rewritten, it suddenly becomes a very powerful OISC rewriting engine system, moreso than Thue if I dare say:

If a Fractran register is always every used on the left side of a rewriting rule, the rule can be removed and its right-side content inlined.. I don't know exactly why that works, but that's kind of a neat little optimization that saves a ton of cycles. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/113088343366712769)

We are again in familiar waters, with their familiar weather radio voices, tugboats, madronas, lean little swallows, cormorants, banana slugs and extremely bitter IPAs. We wake up and it's still dark out, summer must be slipping away; the sun looks all burnt up, red and angry against the morning fog. The music aboard is changing to an appropriate shoegaze, as if to match the sound of rustling of leaves and wind wailing through the shrouds.

I think I might have written the first ever game in Fractran?

Fractran is a OISC that has multiply as its only operator, it has no ram and a rewrite-style control-flow. It was invented by Conway in the 80s but has been left mostly unexplored.

In 1949, Claude Shannon was characterizing information loss, and needed a term for the degree to which information is scrambled. Visiting mathematical physicist John von Neumann, he received the following advice:

It's quite interesting to me how Fractran programs can be run backward, given an end state, I can step through the evaluation backward and return to the origin state. Trying to learn more about this, I stumbled on this excellent blog post that connects the reversibility of some functions and the P vs NP problem.
