From Hobbyist programmer to a Physics Project worker?
Published: 2023-05-02 15:10:11

Hello friends.

 I am of the age where the Government starts sending me checks. A minimum guaranteed income of sorts. 
 So in my 20s' I knew what I liked at once when I opened the box on a brand new [TI-99 4a](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI-99/4A) and read the included booklet on [TI BASIC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TI_BASIC_(TI_99/4A))
 The booklet included with that [Texas Instruments](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Instruments) home computer, introduced me to iterative functions in the BASIC way that many in my age group started off with.
 It was called a for-loop. It doesn't get any simpler then that. The fact that logic and other "stuff" could be done inside this loop was the North-Star of my programming life.
 So, as a semi-retiree I'm looking at a mathematical object discovered along this life's way with following one's North-Star and I realize that it spins to-and-fro. DUO demonstrates the properties of full-spin and half-spin under logic operations with appropriate bit-position observation. 
So, friends, the path before me, is that the object can be considered a ["point-Particle"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_particle) "_With Benefits_" (pun intended). 
 I ask this community if anyone knows of any mathematical object that can be our "Point-Particle-Object" of Physics lore.
 I was rather good at Community College level Algebra and I sure reached for the Moon when writing my paper but I never fancied myself a student of Physics proper. This is where the age of the Internet will be of help for my generation. We have access to a knowledge base today that was in the realm of Science-Fiction in the days of my childhood.
 So, this is part story and part introduction for me here on DEV. 
 The Story is of one man who was a wide eyed boy living his life who has been living the dream he saw on the original run of Star-Trek with Spock and the Onboard Computer. So Cool! So young...
 First off, I an very happy to be among those who are the young and who have their best in hand, looking towards their own "North-Stars.", I like that a lot. The (Creative) Muse has a young love. That is for sure. An Aside: I believe in the [Muse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muses)!  
 So this spinning mathematical object has properties and, I hope to see it made into a open-source project because at the heart of the mathematics the object is a datatype and a kind of number. It sure looks like a candidate for a point particle.
Numbers cannot be patented and so open-source seems right. Your thoughts?

 So, friends being a green sprout here and also having a Developer coming-out with the planned first public project, I welcome your comments, fellowship and guidance. It may be a wonderful adventure and we all need those. 
 Consider this a story proper except it is not finite in the classic sense.
 Honestly, I am not sure how DEV intends the flow of activity to go so guidance on that is welcome too. 

 The object I am referring to is [Dynamic Unary](https://arxiv.org/abs/1405.2846) Object (DUO)

Hey, Gotta get it done before I die "ya-know!" :) 

To start I kick off with Github; is it the right move to start with?
