I don't totally understand, but I like where you're going with this. I picture a cosmological history, the rise and fall of billions of subatomic universes and civilizations, many of them consumed by their own autonomous pseudo-in

Found a copy of the book on Wikimedia. It was originaly published as a pattern book for kimono textile, then rediscovered in 1986 in a collection at the Boston Museum. Since then art historians in Japan found further prints. 北斎模様画譜 (1884) -

Wow that is kind of mind-blowing. Looking through other pages, Hokusai is showing each "rule" (法) and its application (tessalation) that produces the pattern. It makes me wonder about what kind of cultural exchange was happening b

So interesting, thank you, I'm glad I asked. I've been looking into tree calculus, which can "dissolve" lambda calculus and SKI combinators into natural (unlabelled) binary trees. I was wondering if you had any thoughts

Comments like this is proof that the old-school hacker spirit is alive and kicking. This kind of pride in efficient and artful use of computers is needed more than ever.

That "Big Wave" variation with birds flying over the waves is strikingly beautiful. So dynamic and raw compared to the famous one. And how poetic the shapes of birds rhyme with the shape of waves. I'm gonna have to set aside

As an admirer of your work with binary lambda calculus, etc., I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the author's company with HVM and interaction combinators. https://higherorderco.com/ I've always felt there

All for the affordable price of nine thousand dollars, which is likely more than what a local person makes working for an entire year. It seems to me that the concept of "housing" needs a serious re-think.

I see, that's insightful. At first sight I thought of it as a kind of novelty, extending SQL with a visual grammar to integrate with a specific plotting library. But from your comments I can now imagine it has potential as a general so

Great list of languages that don't fit the conventional families. I've been curious about some of them, like Petri nets and term rewriting, and will enjoy exploring the others. Found a working link to the paper about propagators.
