Explorable Explanations https://explorabl.es/
Almost all the content I post to social media is posted by a small shell script that simultaneously posts to several services or through IFTTT duplicating those posts to services for which I lack an API key. When facebook broke automated posting, it meant my account went dark. I didn't notice.
Responses to my essay 'Tech's Masturbatory Historiography' make me think that most people reading it don't know what 'historiography' means. (It's exactly what it sounds like...)
This is math-heavy but the idea that 'keys are meta-taxonomic dimensions' reminds me of ZigZag & other elements make me think of parallel prolog-likes like mycroft -- should re-read carefully later: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/m2009002_qod.pdf
Apparently, when I pitched the idea of replacing backtracking with forking (with lazy side effecting of course) a ~year ago, I was reinventing STEPS work from 2008: http://www.vpri.org/pdf/rn2008003_john.pdf~

In the sunken and forgotten city, Senpai lies not dead but dreaming, as blissfully unaware of mankind's rise above as that of other prior races. We have just begun to meddle in forces that may cause Senpai to notice us for the first time, and rise.
Pray that Senpai will never notice you, because that way lies only disappointment

In case anybody is wondering what 'Double Mojo' (the name I released MfoM under) means, it's from Save the Cat, & is also called 'black vet'. Most movies have a hook based on a juxtaposition of two elements. Double Mojo is when you juxtapose with another juxtaposition.

One of the ideas I was playing with in MfoM was the distinction between player & player character with a 'possession' metaphor, & how that relates to the time loop. I didn't go so far with it. Maybe in Book of the Damned I'll have the player be a possessing-spirit.
