The United American Nation (YuCup'ik Tribes)

The United American Nation (Also known as the UAN or the YuCup'ik Tribes) is a loosely connected group of villages spread across the Cook Inlet, all connected to a large central citadel known as The Reservation. The UAN was founded in the aftermath of the Great War by the remains of several local Native American Nations who took the opportunity to reclaim their lost land.

The UAN is ideologically split between to major sub-factions; the Accileks and the True Nation

## History

During the Chinese occupation of Alaska, many Native American tribes found themselves choosing side. Most large urban adjacent Tribes chose to remain neutral, while many rural Native villages chose to engage in guerilla war with Chinese troops.

## Role in main campaign

The UAN is initially the least belligerent faction. they actively avoid conflict with other factions and will only be swayed to do so by direct faction attack. The player can influence them in multiply ways.

The Metamorphosis (book)

## "The Metamorphosis"

***The Metamorphosis*** is a book written in 1915 by Franz Kakfa depicting the plight of a travelling salesman and former army lieutenant named Gregor Samsa who wakes up to find he has turned into an insect.

## Contents

The story begins with Gregor Samsa walking up in bed to find he has transformed into a large insect (commonly depicted as a cockroach but open to interpretation, in the story he is called a "dung beetle" by one). He laments this situation but decides he has to get to work. Struggling to get out of bed with his thin and weak insect legs he eventually unlocks and opens the door in the sight of the chief clerk of his company, who has by now arrived and has been wondering with the family what is going on. After catching sight of Gregor, the chief clerk leaves and Gregor chases after him but to no avail. Gregor's father drives him back in his room and he stays there for a while. Sometime later while his mother and sister are clearing out his room to make it more spacious for him to climb the walls and ceilings, his mother catches sight of him and faints. This causes the father to become enraged at Gregor, throwing an apple so hard it becomes stuck in Gregor's back and severely incapacitates him.

In the midst of all this the family becomes poorer, due to the loss of Gregor's job. After renting out space to three men, the family is having a meal where the daughter is asked to play the violin and does so before the men catch sight of Gregor and threaten to press legal charges against the father for the uncleanliness. Gregor sees himself back to his room as the family gives way to futility, locked in his room by his sister. The next morning the charwoman finds Gregor starved to death and the family briefly mourns but is overall grateful he died, as it allowed them to move from the flat to another cheaper living arrangement. The story concludes with the father, mother, and daughter taking a relaxing train trip to the countryside.

Cheating at Uno!

A good prepicking hand to begin with. Note the lead cancel cards and tetrachromacy.

## Basic Info

### Entity Type

Behavior

**Cheating at *Uno!*** refers to the practice of winning a game of *Uno!* through underhanded or non-regulation means. While there are various methodologies one may employ to guarantee a win, this page only covers a few of the most significant.

## Method I: Prepicking

Prepicking is a method by which one favors a win by picking out the seven cards ahead of time. Due to its overt nature however, it only works if the other people are not physically present, such as in a *FaceTime* or *Zoom* meeting. One should use "shuffling" time to quickly scan the deck for good cards, put them off to the side, and throw out some boring cards which will not be used in the subsequent game, just to raise the ratio of special cards to normal cards. One should be careful to throw away similar proportions of colors and numbers if they are discarding cards. Also not to throw away so many so that it looks suspicious.

If one has a big enough table they can lay out the whole deck face up (out of sight of the other *Zoom* members of course), and in this way they can choose whatever card they want when they have to draw. This methodology is sound in theory, but beware your excess time in selecting a card from the pile doesn't come across as suspicious, and you do not move your arm too much, as that may arouse suspicion in the amygdala and parahippocampal gyrus of the other players, brain regions thought to contribute to suspicion. Alternatively, one can remove these regions from the other players' brains before the game, but this is considered in poor taste even if you're cheating.

Important in the *Uno!* cheating vernacular are the phrases "lead cards" and "n-chromacy." A hand with n-different color cards (excluding wild or +4 wild special cards) is called n-chromatic. So for instance, the hand 4G, 4G, 1B, 2B, 3B, W, W+4 would be classified as bichromatic, because it has green and blue, two colors.

Lead cards are two cards that share the same type but are different in some other way, such as two cancel cards of different colors or multiple green cards of different labels. These allow you to place successive cards if you are in a two-player game and the lead cards are special cards or the other person must draw. Arguably, the effectiveness of prepicking is drastically reduced if there are more than two-players. You may garuntee a two-player game however by goading a player with the line "let's play one-on-one, to see whose better." This appeals to ego-driven competitive types and works well to favor a prepicking-backed win.
Prime haiku (poem)

Endless

Beauty is

A list of numbers

Innovative without end

Confounding the world's best super-computers

With the simplest of graces and wonder within

And though the list of numbers gets larger they never lose their grace

There are titanic gardens of Babylon never seen by a mortal face

Up they climb welling from sieves of Eratosthenes well-trellised, irrigated and well-tended

To be smelled by Sophie Germain, Mills, Mersenne, Reinmann, Proth and Ramanujan; who felt their ubiquitous hands within

Everything numerical, all budding from a seed that won't die - when the oldest tree passes all of the primes will be alive
Silent Eye

I see stars from here to the Andromeda, to the Triangulum, to M83. To every distance and furthest part of the universe, every red-shifted assemblage of stars with their dark matter halos with crowns and gowns of long luxurious stars in their nebula. A group of humans were speaking the other day, and passing them as a surveyor of their ways I overheard them speaking of their plans, and of their delights, and of their fancies, and of their dislikes, and of what made them happy, what made them sad, and all these things.

I saw in their pupils not the bucolic pastures of their fantasies of which they talked so long and fervently about, but only an inky blackness belaying the stinging ringing chill of space, sounding out like a clear glass bell across the cosmos. All I saw was an empty space in which were those same stars and galaxies - Andromeda, Triangulum, M83, Sirius and Bellatrix, the Betelgeuse and the Orion. The best friends one could ever have are but reflections of one's self, because ultimately the best friend is the self. When one stares into empty space and feels no vexation or worry that there is nobody else, no other minds, no other souls, that can soak up this moment quite the same, and that there will be no other souls that can soak up the moment quite the same. And one will be happy to feel the tides of a vast sea of ignorance lap up at their feet as they plod with toes oozing sand between through the waves, and the distant murmurs and hollers of an ongoing party back at the island will matter not as one sees the stars and sees them clearer than on any night. Sans obfuscation from city glare, they share more brilliance than ever thought, and the universe speaks to one comfortingly and with sing-song voice to drift a course through waves unknown.
Organization metrics

To each it is left unknown, that to each it is granted, this gift brings a curse; that every memory of something as a part of anything can become everything in an instant, as existence in this place and time brings a power unlike any other to create that which can create, and to manifest something in the mind of anyone, that beckons their soul to the heavens of Earth.
The following is a list of equations made to calculate how organized various things are. The intention is to make a "universal organization metric" which can be applied to any collection of objects and which measures how organized they are.

Arthur Stace

**Arthur Malcolm Stace**, or Mr.Eternity, was an Australian veteran who would begin his life in poverty and become an alcoholic in his teenage years, eventually enlisting in the World War I army before being discharged on account of his bronchitis and pleurisy. In 1930 and 1932 he would hear two rousing sermons that moved him to share his wonderment at the concept of eternity with others, inspired by the following Bible verse at Isaiah 57:15:

"For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth Eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones."
For the next 35 years Arthur Malcolm Stace would write the word "Eternity" in calligraphic font (fancy text) in chalk across the streets of Sydney, Australia. It is estimated he wrote this word over half a million times, although Arthur was illiterate and could barely write his own name, he was able to write this single word flawlessly.

He died on 30 July 1967 at the age of 82, having married in 1942. Only two original "Eternity" markings remain, one of which is on a piece of cardboard housed in the National Museum of Australia in Canberra, and the other of which is inside of the bell of the Sydney General Post Office clock tower. It was discovered when the workers were rebuilding the tower, and they're unsure how he even managed to get up there.

Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid (book)

## "Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid"

**Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid** is a book written by Douglas F. Hofstadter detailing the nature of self-reference, 'strange loops,' axiomatic systems, and how they relate to matters of programming and human consciousness. It is considered to be one of the most influential books due both to its pedagogical approach and whimsical nature, sporting illustrative reference to M.C.Escher and the musician Bach, placing dialogues between the recurring characters Tortoise and Achilles between the chapters.

## Contents

The book explains self-reference through analogy with M.C.Escher, and in particular the *Drawing Hands* lithograph. It is explained a formal language which begins as preordained symbol shunting can eventually *acquire* meaning through isomorphism with basic concepts, and that if the initial rules of the language are chosen wisely using extra-mathematical intuition, one can create a powerful language to describe mathematics, such as set theory.

In the book Hofstadter presents a simple number theory language called Typographical Number Theory (TNT), using it to illustrate how one can can make statements in a sufficiently powerful language that by the previously-mentioned isomorphism can refer to the very languages they are described in, thus pulling themselves up "by the bootstraps" - only instead of being out of the marsh the language is now deeper in it! Gödel's incompleteness theory and results in 20th century metamathematics are expounded on, the swift defeat of Russel and Whitehead's *Prinicipia Mathematica* by Kurt Gödel, and all the while a Lewis Carroll-esque theme keeps the reader captivated.

To actually write a math book that even a non-mathematician can find riveting despite being over 800 pages is exceptional. Without a hint of subjectivity, it is one of the best educational math books to have ever been written.

Small spaces (book)

## "Small spaces"

***Small spaces*** is a book by Rebecca Tanqueray, an interior designer who has written several newspaper columns, magazine articles, and books dealing with the subject.

## Contents

The book is split up into three main parts: "making the most of your space," "zones," and "solutions," which talk about real world examples of small home renovation, tips for specific areas of the home if *you* wish to renovate, and generalized solutions that work to minimize clutter in any zone. The general principles found in the book are as follows:

* Put drawers and compartments wherever you can. The more seamlessly they integrate into the home the neater a space will look, whereas several disparate chests or wardrobes will add to the clutter.
* If your ceiling is high enough make a mezzanine to put a bed or small office on. Making the mezzanine *not* take up the entire ceiling space will also add to space because you can see two levels at once.
* Use curtains or stringed beads as dividers in a space where adding partitions or walls would make things feel more cramped.
* Make stuff shiny or mirrory to double the effective space.
* Get more things mounted on the wall and make sure furniture isn't all flush to the floor but that the floor continues underneath, giving the perception of continued space.
* Install floor-to-ceiling windows if possible (or skylights) and decorate rooms near the outside similar to the outside to draw the outside into the home.
* Be creative. Nothing is a surefire rule, if you can make it look good then do it.

Das ding an sich

**Das ding an sich** (German: "thing in itself") is a term used to describe an object *as it is*, minus the restriction of sensory stimuli. The term was introduced by Immanuel Kant, a prominent German philosopher. By definition, things-in-themselves cannot be directly perceived, but only the constructed objects formed from sensory evidence. For example, every material has an absorption spectrum across the electromagnetic spectrum. If a substance absorbs enough visible light it appears black, but this is relative. Sunscreen appears clear to white under visible light but absorbs ultraviolet so that it appears black under UV light. Our perception of sunscreen is as a whitish paste, but this is due to us not being able to see the entire spectrum.

So too, there are aspects of everything that cannot be perceived directly from the senses, whether it be due to additional colors, the atoms *inside* of objects, or consequences of biology. For example, it is impossible to see the sky as it really is. Anyone seeing the sky will experience blue field entoptic phenomenon, which is in the eye, not the sky. If you have eyelashes you will also notice squinting produces rainbow-like light patterns and there are transparent circles in the field of view. This is also in the eye, not the sky. The sky is a simple horizon-to-zenith radial gradient from light blue to rich blue, and even this can not be perceived directly, imagine then everything in the universe!

This is not the sky.

The concept of *das ding an sich* is an echo of Plato's idea of perfect forms and shadows of said forms constituting the real world, but with more of a focus on how such an abstract/concrete dualism relates to the mind as opposed to the world in general. The idea of *das ding an sich* is controversial to some because it is also impossible by definition to prove things exist in such a state when every device or train of thought (which is contained in a brain) is likewise only perceived indirectly. To prove the existence of *das ding an sich* one would have to attribute infallibility to a portion of one's sensory experience or say the world and experience *are one*, which leads into solipsism and "if I don't look at it it's not there" reasoning which is also hard to prove or disprove either way.
A Pleasant Day's Walk (poem)

A wind cooled me down but caused not racket

Save a slight billow within my jacket

And as my jacket held the wind within

My mind held the beauty of the moment

While clouds hung on blue hangers up higher

Like frozen bubbles in sanitizer

I saw an island of trees and of grass

In a field the cars clamorously passed

So making my way towards the green clearing

The strength of the sun got my eyes tearing

But it was worth it I thought as I stood

Looking at silver sapphire by wood

Just then a bird came to sit on a branch

And I listened as their sweet song began

But for chirps there were none but misplaced sound

Resembling static filled voice all around

The sounds far away are all in your ear

And without an ear you'd know not they're there

The sights you see are all within your eye

The world in a sphere only an inch wide

Even the connections of the senses

Are just illusory imperfections

For there is no space behind closed eyelids

Nor is darkness night held to inner light

The air you feel of what you call the wind

Is ten sextillion tiny atoms

Which in their incessant push and motion

Turn one thing, one feeling, from this moment

The atoms themselves are mostly empty space

Most everything's nothing viewed in this way

Even the cohesiveness of this day

Faced with shifting universe clock, must fade

There is no blue sky or grass painted lime

There is no such thing as touch or as sight

There is no poem, not even a rhyme

But only you in this moment of time
Nuclear reactor

**Nuclear reactors** are devices that use the heating effects of radioactive decay to turn water into steam which powers an electric generator.

## Principles and Design

All atomic nuclei (protons and neutrons) are held together by the strong nuclear force. The stability of a nuclei and how long it can stay together with this force is based on the ratio of protons to neutrons, or p/n. This begins as a 1:1 ratio for the lighter elements (with the exception of 1H and 3He, the only stable elements where p/n > 1), but is decreased the heavier an element is. All nuclei have energy, and adding a proton or a neutron adds energy. If it is easier to kick out some nucleons than to keep them in the nucleus, then the nucleus will do so. This is why some isotopes are radioactive (prone to unpredictable decay with a given chance in a given time) and some aren't.

Because of radioactive decay, anything placed near a radioactive material will absorb heat energy from the collision of the emitted particles from the radioactive material. Depending on the radioactivity level though, this will be negligible to extreme. In the negligible examples such as U3O8 oxide used in uranium mining you can have barrels of this stuff, but in concentrated 235U for example, there is a lot more heat generated, and where there's heat there's a way to use it!

The Man Who Listens to Horses (book)

## "The Man Who Listens to Horses"

***The Man Who Listens to Horses*** is a book by Monty Roberts describing equine behavior and his life in working with and training horses from a young age.

## Contents

The book begins by describing Monty's childhood raised around horses, an incident attempting to gather wild horses from the Nevada desert for a wild horse race, winning a 16 or under juniors race at the age of four, and the impact horses had on him from a young age. He attributes his knowledge of equine body language to enhanced perception due to color blindness and the early exposure around horses both domesticated and wild. From the book's beginning, a dichotomy is set up between Monty's approach (using body language and open communication without excessive physical force to draw in the horse to the rider in a process he calls "join-up"), and the violent, often cruel, methods employed by horse trainers of the time. His different approach incurs the wrath of his father, who never changed his dismissal of Monty's methods but was shown Flag Is Up Farms and a first-hand demonstration of Monty's methods much later on.

Monty Roberts describes how he taught James Dean to be a cowboy for his first major screen role in "East of Eden," then later wanting to open up a horse starting and breeding facility. (For reference, "starting" is what Monty calls breaking in a horse to a saddle and rider, but he doesn't use the word breaking because of violent connotations.) Monty and his family are enabled to do such with the help of Hastings Harcourt, a described "eccentric millionaire" who also has serious problems and ends up involving Monty in a legal battle for the farm which is being sold. Eventually he gets it back and goes on to describe more about his life there before talking about the domestication of deer using similar methods to horses and his visit with the Queen at Windsor castle. The last chapter deals with unruly racehorses and the appendix is a full word description of join-up.

They Are Nine

Galatians 5:22,23 is where Paul lists the Fruitages of the Spirit. As seen in this artwork, they are Joy, Faith, Peace, Goodness, Love, Mildness, Kindness, Patience, and Self-Control. The reason they are superimposed over a Sierpinski carpet is because all of them stem from Love, the most important of the nine, and so each fruitage can be mixed with the others to get subtle and gradual shades of quality to God's personality the same way one can go deeper into successive mini-carpets in this fractal. This is part of the reason why God's mind is infinite and why we'll never know it all. Unlike a physical painting pallet where the mixing is finite and has a limit, there is no end to the subtle ways in which God can mix these fruitages and express them over time for his children both in Heaven and on Earth.
Koi Room

The **Koi Room** is a medium sized room with a waterproofed interior and two doors on opposite corners of the room connected by a wooden bridge. Underneath the bridge about three feet from bridge bottom to floor is water filling the room to a height of two feet, with gravel and aquatic plants such as water lilies floating on the surface. Inside of the water are four koi fish which are fed regularly. Extending down to the floor and going up to the ceiling are large mirrors on all sides of the room, including the ceiling and excluding the floor. These mirrors create a "mirror house" effect which increases the ethereal atmosphere and contributes to relaxation on a bench in the center of the bridge on a small balcony. Wooden poles which can be folded back into the bridge floor accommodate a hammock allowing one to lay down and feel as if they are floating on an infinite ocean.

Library

Olivier Mourgue Djinn chair.

 The **library** is a large room occupied by bookshelves and which contains numerous chairs. Three notable chairs is the one for guests or for sitting by a particular book section, one in the center to be surrounded by the bookcases, and one which is less of a chair and more so a cubical dug out from the wall and complete with a padded conformation of the body to rest in. This cubical has a sliding door which can be closed (and thankfully opened) from the inside. When the door is shut it immerses the reader in total silence. There are various plushies and blankets here for maximum comfort.

The library's bookshelves are thin metal wire frame shelving to help avoid a cramped feel, with five shelves that are 6' in total with a shelf width of 1'9". This accommodates two rows of books per shelf on the bottom four shelves for an eight row total. The top shelf contains atlases and unusually large books as well as origami and other crafts work.

The chairs are the Djinn chairs from the Stanley Kubrick film *2001: A Space Odyssey*, only bright orange and yellow instead of red. The floors are a very light brown wood with varnish and the walls are white with busts and sculptures of mutated animals chiseled from marble. There are eyes carved into the walls at random intervals. One can look through the pupil of these eyes to see poems in dimly lit recesses. Jabberwocky is sure to be included.

Opus

Chance is a light brush of the hand

From a friend gone away

Whose affectionate grace we demand

Long after the hand fades

Fate is the form seen in the dark

Perched by the bed

Intuited into the heart

Unrealized until death

Love is the hope in between

Two seas of death

In which life is the seam

Stitching two eternities of rest
Akira Haraguchi

**Akira Haraguchi** is a retired Japanese engineer who holds the unofficial world record of decimal digit pi memorization, having memorized the constant to 100,000 digits as of 2006 and 111,700 digits as of 2015, demonstrating the former feat in a public recitation session that lasted 16 hours, 30 minutes.

According to Guinness book of World Records, the current record is Lu Chao of China, who, in 2005, recited 67,890 digits of pi. Additionally, there are two people higher than Lu Chao on the Pi World Ranking List, and both are underneath Akira in terms of memorization.

## Spirituality

Akira relates the memorization of pi to a personal spirituality he holds, stating:

"Reciting pi's digits has the same meaning as chanting the Buddhist mantra and meditating,"
He also says:

"According to Zen Buddhism teachings, everything that exists in this world - the mountains, the rivers and all the living creatures - carries the spirit of the Buddha.
I’ve interpreted this to mean that everything that circles around carries the spirit of the Buddha. I think pi is the ultimate example of that."
Akira claims rotation is the secret of the universe, saying in an interview:

"All things in this world, including ourselves, are aggregate sums of atoms, which are made up of rotating electrons. The ultimate history of mankind is moving toward a happy ending for people of all races. The earth, the galaxy and the universe all rotate. In other words, I think rotation is the absolute truth. So as long as I’m thinking about pi, I think I can live a life according to truth."
Absolute infinite

The **absolute infinite** refers to the notion of a cardinal or ordinal beyond all infinities describable through sets. As it is larger than all sets by definition, the absolute infinite transcends the set and is only definable through proper classes, which are incorporated in Neumann-Bernays-Godel set theory (NBG). Using an epsilon with an overline as the class membership predicate in such an extension of ZFC, we can define a class c to include all sets, and therefore be of an 'absolutely infinite' size, like so:

George Cantor is the one who coined the phrase, and denoted the absolute infinite with Ω - though this can be confusing since the first uncountable ordinal is also denoted with this symbol.
Dark Mushroom

**Dark Mushroom**

**Dark mushroom**, also referred to as **dark mushroom fields** or **dark fields**, is a biome in the expanded *Minecraft* edition *1B2M* (1 Builder 2nd ed Minecraft). The biome is even rarer than the mushroom fields biome and will only be generated for coordinates (x,y) such that ⌊sqrt(x2 + y2)⌋ ≥ 65536.

## Description

The dark mushroom biome can be seen as an inversion of the traditional mushroom fields biome, as the dark mushroom biome is usually between 15 to 30 blocks *underneath* sea level. It never spawns in oceans and only spawns among plains and hill (especially extreme hills) biomes. Flanked by stone, gravel, and other common deposits on all sides, the walls transition to dark mycelium, which takes the place of grass blocks. On the dark mycelium are patches of lichen, puffballs, and lumshrooms (etym: luminous + mushrooms) that can grow to be 8 blocks tall. These are based off of morel mushrooms but unlike morel their stems emit a light level of 1 and their caps 3.

The dark mushroom biome is home to the dark mooshroom, which can be right clicked with shears to get lichen. This will cause the dark mooshroom to turn into a mooshroom which can be right clicked again. Thus dark mooshrooms are slightly more valuable in terms of resources.

The dark mushroom biome is able to spawn hostile mobs, unlike mushroom fields. There is a new type of skeleton called the glowrot skeleton. If it kills a dark mooshroom or mooshroom in pursuit of the player a new music disc is dropped with identifier `music_disc_spore`.
Cyano

The **cyano** (also called nitrile) functional group consists of a single carbon triple bonded to a nitrogen, denoted R-C≡N.

Functional Groups

(R1,R2)C=C(R3,R4) (Alkenes) ◯ R1-C≡C-R2 (Alkynes) ◯ **R-C≡N (Cyano)** ◯ C(R1,R2,R3,X) (Halides) ◯ R-OH (Hydroxy) ◯ R-CH3 (Methyl) ◯ R-C6H5 (Phenyl) ◯ R-SH (Thiol) ◯ R-HC=CH2 (Vinyl)
Stereochemistry

**Stereochemistry** is the study of molecular shape and atomic connectivity. For example, tetravalent carbon typically hybridizes it's 2s,2px,2py, and 2pz orbitals to form four 2sp3 orbitals, which are situated at 109.5° tetragonal bond angles to each other. Thus one might correctly infer the shape of the diamond lattice from the relative angles of bonded carbon, as well as the shape of adamantane (C10H16) , the fundamental unit of the diamond lattice.

Stereochemistry in basic form (i.e. VESPR theory) is useful because it allows chemists to predict the shape (which influences the behavior) of molecules without having to resort to complex nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) or analysis techniques. It also helps characterize the properties of materials.
Isotopologue

An **isotopologue** of a molecule is *the same exact molecule* (beyond even just constitutional isomers or stereoisomers, but the *same* chirality and bond symmetries), but with differing isotopes of elements involved. Isotopologues can affect the results of chemical reactions owing to the differing densities and relative weights of isotopologic allotropes or compounds. The most famous example is "heavy water," which is composed of two deuterium atoms and one oxygen.
Time

The utmost silence inspires the most words in describing it. For though the days of yesteryears have harbored the full share of terrestrial storms and hurricanes, it is nothing compared to the reeling cosmos. The clocks of which skilled craftsman have labored hours to manufacture but a single component of are crude impositions of order on an eternally shifting and unknown thing. Laugh when you see Big Ben. Laugh when you see grandfather clocks and pendulums and timekeepers strewn about an ever busy and frantic world, trying to console itself through the presence of these devices so strongly tied to the essence of order and of stricture, the stifling march of Chronos against the imaginative and timeless expression of the mind.

In pure form without limit or stricture, minds do not experience time. For the only time one thinks of time is when there is something to do and places to be, an obligation imposed by a higher master or a responsibility to be fulfilled in behalf of a lesser one such as tending children or pets. Even in seasons and landmark occasions, there is the feeling of "before" versus "after," "remembered" versus "not yet happened," and the ticking tocking walk of this thing assumed to be so pervasively felt on the instinctual level of the human psyche is as conspicuously absent as the void between stars which engendered the measuring thereof, through sidereal and Zodiacal reckonings.

This is not to say time is not real. But "time" as the cold ticking metal of brass or copper is not the organic sense of time in flesh. Thus, there are two types of time, and yet physics would have us believe there is but one. For time as a *perception* is not time as time is thought to be, and even our idea of time as time is thought to be according to physics is but a perception, and when it has been found reality is defined in terms of numerous perceptions it must be conceded that the perception *is* reality, at least as well as we know it.

There is time in metal, exacting and precise; time in flesh, fluid and shifting; time as the great broom which sweeps all along, and time as the passive ocean into which we continually plunge with water droplet crowns of sensation every moment. Time can encompass all things and control all things, or it can be an infinitesimal thin screen possessed of no volition but to sweep through what always was and always will be, lighting up the portion of what always was and always will be in that single moment defined to be the present moment.
Chemistry equipment

In organic chemistry there are various pieces of technology commonly used in labs and workshops. The following page seeks to list them and describe their basic function (*how* are they used?), purpose (*why* are they used?), and design (*what* are they made out of?).

## Mass spectrometer

A mass spectrometer is a device made to bombard molecules with electrons, turning them into positive cations prone to spontaneous disassembling. The fragments from this disassembling are then directed through a magnetic field, their deflection measured, and the resulting mass of the fragments calculated. By knowing the frequency (called the intensity) and charge over mass (m/z, commonly equated with mass due to non-neutral pieces *usually* only having a +1 charge and therefore m/z = m when z = 1) of these fragments, the functional groups and general constitution of the smashed molecule can be determined. This is useful in figuring out what an unknown substance may be or in determining unknown byproducts in a reaction.

Mass spectroscopy is however expensive and bulky, since the premise is the same as in particle accelerators, which also require a good deal of technology to operate. Regardless, MIT has made a handheld mass spectrometer, and one can read the history of mass spectrometry in a timeline poster photo here.
Past everything

In beyond absolute infinity, it is revealed there are mathematical objects larger than proper classes in certain extensions of ZFC. This culminates in a totality of all things, which is assumed to be the limit by definition - but perhaps not.

While it may seem paradoxical that some*thing* could be "beyond *all things*," the situation can be resolved by considering the classic paradox of a set containing all sets. This is not impossible because it's impossible to contain all sets, but it is impossible because of the language being used. When we call the containing set a class it makes perfect sense. So too, the collection of all things just contain all *things*, and a thing which is not a thing at all is exempt from being included in this.

A thing is something which can be experienced or interacts with other things in some way. If there are concepts or ideas which do not count as things then they would never be known by definition, because to conceive of them would be to make them a thing. Yet because we are unable to conceive of these things which are not things, it means that it is impossible to know if things which are not things are really a thing, and that's the tricky thing. The collection of all things which are not things is itself neither a thing nor a not-thing, but likely counts as an entirely new type of substance. To go even beyond this is pointless without a well-founded categorization of all discussed so far and inquiry there into.
A Vintage Ode (poem)

Away from metal glare and neon lights

I'd rather be by old velvet in night

Feeling patterns lost to time's heavy hand

On a cushioned seat of Victorian

Cozy by fireside where sprites flitter

Where imagination has its glitter

And to be content is not such a crime

In a busy world running out of time

I'd rather be where faces in the moon

Talk to poet kin and comfort and soothe

Where talk and ways have their gentle graces

And there are no red, impatient, faces

Waiting to board a bus, occupied minds

That have not seen the peace of older times

I'd rather be born in warm glen or grove

Under stars with Thalia’s staff to hold

To care for sheep or live a life farming

To me seems better than modern harming

Where people rush but have nowhere to go

Where solace hasn’t graced their rushing souls

Souls that use outer noise for inner voids

Blasting discord so as to thought avoid

So while this fire eats up all the world

I will sit happy in my paisley swirls

Fourteenth century denizen in silence

Immune to the modern senseless violence

Held safe in an embrace far long before

Edison and Musk, to the years of yore

I raise my chalice cheeks red like cherries

In Valhalla sipping on my sherry

Chaucer’s words flowing through my blood like roads

Each vein to the past leading me back home
Hydroxy

The **-ol** or hydroxy group refers to the hydrocarbon functional group -OH, which when placed in a molecule makes such a molecule an alcohol. The most commonly known application is in ethyl and isopropyl alcohols, with chemical formula CH3CH2OH and (CH3)2CHOH respectively, differing in that isopropyl alcohol has one more methyl (CH3) group than ethyl alcohol. Removing the iso- prefix forms n-propyl alcohol where n refers to the length of the carbon chain (-(CH2)n - 1CH3) appended to the hydroxy group.

## Etymology

The functional group derives it's name from the hydro and oxy prefixes, referring to hydrogen and oxygen respectively.

Functional Groups

(R1,R2)C=C(R3,R4) (Alkenes) ◯ R1-C≡C-R2 (Alkynes) ◯ R-C≡N (Cyano) ◯ C(R1,R2,R3,X) (Halides) ◯ **R-OH (Hydroxy)** ◯ R-CH3 (Methyl) ◯ R-C6H5 (Phenyl) ◯ R-SH (Thiol) ◯ R-HC=CH2 (Vinyl)
Codon

A **codon** is a triple base-pair unit of DNA responsible for encoding a single amino acid in the formation of proteins. Codon derives from the English code- and the Greek -on meaning 'being', often used to denote particle or fundamental components of an object (i.e. electron, positron, gluon).

Across every domain of life, the codon-amino correlation tends to be the same, and is the following:

## Usage

During transcription of DNA, it is split and one half is used as a template for a strand of mRNA, or messenger ribonucleic acid. The mRNA used in the ribosome, which uses the strand to read and gather amino acids from the environment that link up to form the protein. A protein itself will assume the shape it does due to intramolecular forces like charge, and often change conformations throughout the execution of a particular task.

Functional groups

**Functional groups** are additions to hydrocarbons (molecular structures composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms) which alter the properties of the hydrocarbon. Each functional group has a prefix associated with it which can be used in preferred IUPAC nomenclature.

Life of Pi (book)

## "Life of Pi"

**Life of Pi** is a book written by Yann Martel depicting the survival of a 16-year old boy named Piscine "Pi" Molitor Patel, various incidents of his life before up to the shipwreck, and the present day.

## Contents

The book is primarily told in a first-person perspective from Pondicherry, India, resident Pi, except for chapters written in all italics which are from the author's perspective, interviewing Mr.Patel now grown-up.

In the first part of the book entitled "Toronto and Pondicherry," Pi Patel relates various aspects of his childhood, growing up with his family (father, mother, and brother) on a zoo they look after. Of note are two teachers of Patel both named Satish Kumar. This is significant because one of them is an atheist biologist and the other is a Muslim Pi meets in learning more about Islam. The name parallelism between them shows how despite their different worldviews Pi is able is able to learn from both of them and see truth in both opinions (a theme that is recurring in the book).

The second part of the book is entitled "The Pacific Ocean," covering the sinking of the Japanese cargo ship the *Tsimtsum* that Pi and his family are on (they're moving to Toronto, Canada and selling the zoo as well). Pi finds a lifeboat, but it turns out to have an incapacitated zebra, dazed orangutan, a hyena, and a 450-pound tiger named Richard Parker (due to a clerical mishap) who is hiding under the tarpaulin and who pi doesn't even realize is there at first.

As Pi comes to grips with the situation the hyena kills the zebra and then the orangutan, before being itself killed by the tiger. For 227 days, Pi must battle inclement weather, tame a carnivorous tiger, fish dorados and sea turtles while collecting water from the solar stills to keep from starving or thirsting. At one point Pi encounters a floating island of algae occupied by hundreds of thousands of meerkats. Pi stays until going to the island's center where a tree has "fruit" that turns out to contain human teeth. At night the island is revealed to ooze acid which kills and consumes anything that is on the surface. Pi sets off and is eventually recovered on the coast of Mexico. Representatives behind the company which launched *Tsimtsum* come to speak with him and he relates everything that happened.

The representatives don't believe him, so Pi tells them an alternate story where the zebra stood for a Taiwanese sailor, the orangutan his mother, the hyena the ship's cook, and Richard Parker as Pi. The cook chops off the sailor's leg as fishing bait then kills him. The cook eventually kills Pi's mother and then is himself killed by Pi, who is the lone survivor. The tiger both symbolizes Pi and the feeling of futility from being trapped at sea for 227 days.

After relating this version of the story, Pi asks which the men prefer to hear, and they answer the one with animals. Pi answers "And so it goes with God," again following the theme that the world is up to interpretation and truth is subjective.
