great observation!!

This passage reminds me of an idea from Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes: “the phonatory system is the same as the osculatory system” (141). In other words, speech and kissing are verbs attached to a person’s lips—both actions are essential to the erotic encounter. Here, I would add that there’s something surprising about Twanda screaming out in French—a language I’m not aware of Shange really writing in—perhaps signifying a surprising, foreign, or new form of knowledge.

This description reminds me of “Dream of Pairing,” an earlier piece in Ridin’ the Moon in Texas. In this poem, the narrator describes an imaginary love affair between herself and a stranger whose “face changes but is always full of love / for me.” This specific line reminds me of the way “Dream of Pairing ends”: with a “stranger who visits me in my dreams / but that would be too personal / he's never told me his name.” Much like Twanda’s relationship with this random taxi driver, there’s still a distance —an unknowing—between the narrator and her beloved. Moreover, I’m interested in how both of the artworks that accompany “Twanda” and “Dream of Pairing” are three-dimensional works of art. However, I would note that Martin Puryear’s piece in “Dream of Pairing” is an incomplete loop, whereas Patrice Viles’ work is an ornamental and flourishing piece of jewelry. Perhaps the visual difference between the two artworks also signify the narrative difference between the two pieces; in order to complete “the self,” one cannot simply depend on romantic desire ("Dream of Pairing")—they must also seek self-created unity ("Twanda").

It reminds me so much of Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias," except his poem doesn't seem to propose human love as an alternative to ruthless ambition...

this reminds me a lot of something that Taylor Swift mentioned in her documentary Miss Americana. She talks about how she would always see photos of herself online and pick herself apart. An article by Vanity Fair lays out the dialogue,

"After being pictured facing a phalanx of photographers after she emerges from her front door, Swift is heard in voiceover saying that “it’s not good for me to see pictures of myself every day.” Although she says “it’s only happened a few times, and I’m not in any way proud of it,” Swift admits there have been times in the past when she’s seen “a picture of me where I feel like I looked like my tummy was too big, or… someone said that I looked pregnant … and that’ll just trigger me to just starve a little bit — just stop eating.”

No one should be looking at themselves constantly. I think its kinda like how when you say a word over and over again, it starts to not sound like a word. I think the same goes for photos. The more you look at something the more you are going to notice about it and sometimes I don't think its a bad thing if a couple things go unnoticed. https://variety.com/2020/music/news/taylor-swift-eating-disorder-netflix-documentary-miss-americana-1203478047/

this reminds me of a trend that is going around the internet recently where people show just how easy it is to slightly photoshop photos to make themselves to make just enough to fit the beauty standard just a little more. I think this shows how despreate people are for other people approval. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYfkJGcb/

This statement inspires me to approach social media with more thoughtfulness and responsibility. It reminds me that being informed helps me stay safe while also creating a more positive experience for myself and others. By participating mindfully and protecting myself, I can contribute to a better online environment for everyone I interact with.

These principles get the bulk of attention for a reason, the respect for others reminds me of factor x

This reminds me of the show that we watched in class about the acting the guy wanted them to make a connection to their person for a better understanding

This reminds me of the "Atlas of AI" reading, as well as answering my question of when is too much. The inhumane nature of this collection and it being on a mass scale is very reminiscent of "Atlas of AI".

This is really interesting, and somewhat separately reminds me of the sORF literature like this paper: https://www.cell.com/cell-reports/fulltext/S2211-1247(22)01696-5. There have been quite a few studies that show that sORFs are often evolutionarily young. I think your paper applies to this question as well.

This is indeed a very bad and difficult problem to solve. This also reminds me of the Chinese government's current situation where government officials can change at any time, and everyone's thoughts and rules are different. Therefore, whose rules should the masses listen to? Perhaps they have just adapted to a certain rule and will change later, which makes the masses very confused.

Reading this section, it's clear that the text went through many iterations and translations and this fact affects how one reads the text as a historian. This reminds me of Professor Nummedal's point from Monday's lecture about how the Florentine Codex must be used carefully to access Indigenous voices and perspectives, and how it was a complicated text made with many agendas. Lines like these clearly show how we must think critically about what is lost in translation (such as the hummingbird stone) and also lost in each new iteration/adjustment.

'the kids are too soft'. on shifting perceptions of gens, point out the obvious lack of attention to cause and effect. walking barefoot to school in the snow etc etc as if it's a sine quae non. Reminds me of a Gulag discussion, what doesn't kill you makes you harder, is actually the other way around. The hardest going survive, and more might have in conditions had been better. We see more people survive and mistake it for lack of selection and rigour, where it's the lifting of more if not all boats.

It's frustrating reading things like this in the sense that others hate to see or learn about other cultures because its so "unimportant". It makes me question everything because how does one get to that level of hate. It reminds me of a situation i encountered when a kid didn't want to share something because the other kids was "different" one was white and the other was a person of color. HOW? i questioned it and at a young age everything reflects on the parents. What makes them better than everyone else? We're all human

Pinchot’s critique of the era’s focus on wealth and materialism resonates deeply with the Progressive Era's fight against monopolies and corruption. This reminds me of our class discussion on how economic inequality and unchecked greed were seen as threats to democracy. His emphasis on "public spirit" and leaders who prioritize service over personal gain is inspiring, especially in the context of conservation, where selflessness is crucial for long-term societal benefit. It’s a powerful reminder that true leadership lies in the ability to act for the common good, not just personal success.

This passage highlights Gifford Pinchot’s concern with the "short-sighted optimism" of Americans, particularly in their failure to plan for the long-term future of the nation. It connects back to our discussion about the Industrial Revolution and its consequences. In class, we talked about how industrialization brought significant growth and innovation but often at the cost of sustainable practices. This reminds me of how industries in the 19th and early 20th centuries prioritized immediate profit over long-term resource management, leading to deforestation, pollution, and over-exploitation of resources.

I find this thought-provoking because Pinchot’s perspective feels so ahead of its time, he’s calling for a balance between progress and preservation, recognizing that sustainability is essential for ensuring prosperity for future generations. It’s a stark reminder of how resource management isn't just an environmental issue; it’s about the survival and well-being of a growing population.

Weather was a novel that presents “mundane intensities” of life in the anthropocene through Lizzie. Her slight and growing interest of climate change is reflective of a passive attitude when it comes to climate which reminds me of the notion of slow violence.

Understanding how interaction effect's function is an essential part of studying persuasion. This is simply because it allows a better understanding for researchers to develop an identification connecting the diverse ways that factors work together in order to influence perceptions and attitudes. The effectiveness of a message can and will depend on both what is being said, as well as the sources credibility. This is important because it requires more in-depth critical thinking on how multiple variables can influence outcomes and requires people to look beyond the idea of this caused that. This concept reminds me of the Elaboration Likelihood Model because it states that the core of a message as well as the credibility of the messages sources influences how interested an individual is going to be in it and will ultimately determine if they dismiss it or accept it and dive in to participate; However, there is a difference between the two. The Elaboration Likelihood Model targets the cognitive processes involved, separating between the central and peripheral routes of processing, whilst on the contrary, the idea of interaction effects talks about how diverse independent variables interact to influence the outcome of an experiment.

Reshaa, Ranboo and their mother's dynamic reminds me of Zuko, Azula and their mom. In both cases, the girls wanted their mother's love but didn't get it because they were too much like their dad. Zuko and Ranboo are both people who their mothers saw kindness in, saw the possibility that they would get out of the toxic environment and culture of their upbringing, but lost their mothers guidance, the only one who loved them, and had to make it out and become better people than their families.Your mother didn't like you, Reshaa, because you gave in to what you grew up in, fell into the twisted political game.

This reminds me of an incident from my childhood. I left the house and lost my keys, and my father happened to be traveling and couldn't return in time to drop them off. My mother was furious when she discovered that she had kicked me in front of others, which made me feel very embarrassed. I remember this experience vividly because many times I committed mistakes and my parents dealt with them in this manner, which caused me to acquire an avoidance mentality and a desire not to address family problems.

I think these ideas about students of color go back to the low expectations that students of color are given by their teachers. When teachers already have low expectations of their students, they think the easiest solution would be to dump their students with someone else who can "better handle their needs." Even if these needs are fabricated to fit the teacher's narrative. This reminds me of when my cousin, whose first language was English, was put in an ESL program when she was in elementary school just because she was Mexican; she had no issues switching between English and Spanish and was put in a program that was of no use to her. She lost so much valuable class time just because a teacher had low expectations of her.

This reminds me of the term "wicked problem".

This reminds me of the case that just went to trial of the two men that were extorting money from a high school kid threating to post his nudes, and he ended up killing himself.

Author response:

The following is the authors’ response to the original reviews.

We would like to thank all the reviewers for their positive evaluation of our paper, as described in the Strengths section. We are also grateful for their helpful comments and suggestions, which we have addressed below. We believe that the manuscript has been significantly improved as a result of these suggestions. In addition to these changes, we also corrected some inconsistencies (statistical values in the last sentence of a Figure 5 caption) and sentences in the main text (lines 155, 452, 522) (these corrections did not affect the results).

Reviewer #1 (Public Review):

Summary/Strengths:

This manuscript describes a stimulating contribution to the field of human motor control. The complexity of control and learning is studied with a new task offering a myriad of possible coordination patterns. Findings are original and exemplify how baseline relationships determine learning.

Weaknesses:

A new task is presented: it is a thoughtful one, but because it is a new one, the manuscript section is filled with relatively new terms and acronyms that are not necessarily easy to rapidly understand.

First, some more thoughts may be devoted to the take-home message. In the title, I am not sure manipulating a stick with both hands is a key piece of information. Also, the authors appear to insist on the term ‘implicit’, and I wonder if it is a big deal in this manuscript and if all the necessary evidence appears in this study that control and adaptation are exclusively implicit. As there is no clear comparison between gradual and abrupt sessions, the authors may consider removing at least from the title and abstract the words ‘implicit’ and ‘implicitly’. Most importantly, the authors may consider modifying the last sentence of the abstract to clearly provide the most substantial theoretical advance from this study.

Thank you for your positive comment on our paper. We agree with the reviewer that our paper used a lot of acronyms that might confuse the readers. As we have addressed below (in the rebuttal to the Results section), we have reduced the number of acronyms.

Regarding the comment on the use of the word “implicit” in the title and the abstract, we believe that its use in this paper is very important and indispensable. One of our main findings was that the pattern of adaptation between the tip-movement direction and the stick-tilt angle largely followed that in the baseline condition when aiming at different target directions. This adaptation was largely implicit because participants were not aware of the presence of the perturbation as the amount of perturbation was gradually increased. This implicitness suggests that the adaptation pattern of how the movement should be corrected is embedded in the motor learning system. On the other hand, if this adaptation pattern was achieved on the basis of the explicit strategy of changing the direction of the tip-movement, the adaptation pattern that follows the baseline pattern is not at all surprising. For these reasons, we will continue to use the word "implicit".

It seems that a substantial finding is the ‘constraint’ imposed by baseline control laws on sensorimotor adaptation. This seems to echo and extend previous work of Wu, Smith et al. (Nat Neurosci, 2014): their findings, which were not necessarily always replicated, suggested that the more participants were variable in baseline, the better they adapted to a systematic perturbation. The authors may study whether residual errors are smaller or adaptation is faster for individuals with larger motor variability in baseline. Unfortunately, the authors do not present the classic time course of sensorimotor adaptation in any experiment. The adaptation is not described as typically done: the authors should thus show the changes in tip movement direction and stick-tilt angle across trials, and highlight any significant difference between baseline, early adaptation, and late adaptation, for instance. I also wonder why the authors did not include a few noperturbation trials after the exposure phase to study after-effects in the study design: it looks like a missed opportunity here. Overall, I think that showing the time course of adaptation is necessary for the present study to provide a more comprehensive understanding of that new task, and to re-explore the role of motor variability during baseline for sensorimotor adaptation.

We appreciate the reviewer for raising these important issues.

Regarding the learning curve, because the amount of perturbation was gradually increased except for Exp.1B, we were not able to obtain typical learning curves (i.e., the curve showing errors decaying exponentially with trials). However, it may still be useful to show how the movement changed with trials during adaptation. Therefore, following the reviewer's suggestion, we have added the figures of the time course of adaptation in the supplementary data (Figures S1, S2, S4, and S5).

There are two reasons why our experiments did not include aftereffect quantification trials (i.e., probe trials). First, in the case of adaptation to a visual perturbation (e.g., visual rotation), probe trials are not necessary because the degree of adaptation can be easily quantified by the amount of compensation in the perturbation trials (however, in the case of dynamic perturbations such as force fields, the use of probe trials is necessary). Second, the inclusion of probe trials allows participants to be aware of the presence of the perturbation, which we would like to avoid.

We also appreciate the interesting additional questions regarding the relevance of our work to the relationship between baseline motor variability and adaptation performance. As this topic, although interesting, is outside the scope of this paper, we concluded that we would not address it in the manuscript. In fact, the experiments were not ideal for quantifying motor variability in the baseline phase because participants had to aim at different targets, which could change the characteristics of motor variability. In addition, we gradually increased the size of the perturbation except for Exp.1B (see Author response image 1, upper panel), which could make it difficult to assess the speed of adaptation. Nevertheless, we think it is worth mentioning this point in this rebuttal. Specifically, we examined the correlation between baseline motor variability when aiming the 0 deg target (tip-movement direction or stick-tilt angle) and adaptation speed in Exp 1A and Exp 1B (Author response image 1 and Author response image 2). To assess adaptation speed in Exp.1A, we quantified the slope of the tip-movement direction to a gradually increasing perturbation (Author response image 1, upper panel). The adaptation speed in Exp.1B was obtained by fitting the exponential function to the data (Author response image 2, upper panel). Although the statistical results were not completely consistent, we found that the participants with greater the motor variability at baseline tended to show faster adaptation, as shown in a previous study (Wu et al., Nat Neurosci, 2014).

Correlation between the baseline variability and learning speed (Experiment 1A). In Exp 1A, the rotation of the tip-movement direction was gradually increased by 1 degree per trial up to 30 degrees. The learning speed was quantified by calculating how quickly the direction of movement followed the perturbation (upper panel). The lower left panel shows the variability of the tip-movement direction versus learning speed, while the lower right panel shows the variability of the stick-tilt angle versus learning speed. Baseline variability was calculated as a standard deviation across trials (trials in which a target appeared in a 0-degree direction).

Author response image 2.

Correlation between the baseline variability and learning speed (Experiment 1B). In Exp 1B, the rotation of the tip-movement direction was abruptly applied from the first trial (30 degrees). The learning speed was calculated as a time constant obtained by exponential curve fitting. The lower left panel shows the variability of the tip-movement direction versus learning speed, while the lower right panel shows the variability of the stick-tilt angle versus learning speed. Baseline variability was calculated as a standard deviation across trials (trials in which a target appeared in a 0-degree direction).

The distance between hands was fixed at 15 cm with the Kinarm instead of a mechanical constraint. I wonder how much this distance varied and more importantly whether from that analysis or a force analysis, the authors could determine whether one hand led the other one in the adaptation.

Thank you very much for this important comment. Since the distance between the two hands was maintained by the stiff virtual spring (2000 N/m), it was kept almost constant throughout the experiments as shown in Author response image 3 (the averaged distance during a movement). The distance was also maintained during reaching movements (Author response image 4).

We also thank the reviewer for the suggestion regarding the force analysis. As shown in Author response image 5, we did not find a role for a specific hand for motor adaptation from the handle force data. Specifically, Author response image 5 shows the force applied to each handle along and orthogonal to the stick. If one hand led the other in adaptation, we should have observed a phase shift as adaptation progressed. However, no such hand specific phase shift was observed. It should be noted, however, that it was theoretically difficult to know from the force sensors which hand produced the force first, because the force exerted by the right handle was transmitted to the left handle and vice versa due to the connection by the stiff spring.

I understand the distinction between task- and end-effector irrelevant perturbation, and at the same time results show that the nervous system reacts to both types of perturbation, indicating that they both seem relevant or important. In line 32, the errors mentioned at the end of the sentence suggest that adaptation is in fact maladaptive. I think the authors may extend the Discussion on why adaptation was found in the experiments with end-effector irrelevant and especially how an internal (forward) model or a pair of internal (forward) models may be used to predict both the visual and the somatosensory consequences of the motor commands.

Thank you very much for your comment. As we already described in the discussion of the original manuscript (Lines 519-538 in the revised manuscript), two potential explanations exist for the motor system’s response to the end-effector irrelevant perturbation (i.e., stick rotation). First, the motor system predicts the sensory information associated with the action and attempts to correct any discrepancies between the prediction and the actual sensory consequences, regardless of whether the error information is end-effector relevant or end-effector irrelevant. Second, given the close coupling between the tip-movement direction and stick-tilt angle, the motor system can estimate the presence of end-effector relevant error (i.e., tip-movement direction) by the presence of end-effector irrelevant error (i.e., stick-tilt angle). This estimation should lead to the change in the tip-movement direction. As the reviewer pointed out, the mismatch between visual and proprioceptive information is another possibility, we have added the description of this point in Discussion (Lines 523-526).

Reviewer #1 (Recommendations For The Authors):

Minor

Line 16: “it remains poorly understood” is quite subjective and I would suggest reformulating this statement.

We have reformulated this statement as “This limitation prevents the study of how….”  (Line 16).

Introduction

Line 49: the authors may be more specific than just saying ‘this task’. In particular, they need to clarify that there is no redundancy in studies where the shoulder is fixed and all movement is limited to a plane ... which turns out to truly happen in a limited set of experimental setups (for example: Kinarm exoskeleton, but not endpoint; Kinereach system...).

We have changed this to “such a planar arm-reaching task” (Line 49).

Line 61: large, not infinite because of biomechanical constraints.

We have changed “an infinite” to “a large” (Line 61) and “infinite” to “a large number of” (legend in Fig. 1f).

Lines 67-69: consider clarifying.

We have tried to clarify the sentence (Lines 67-69).

Results

TMD and STA, and TMD-STA plane, are new terms with new acronyms that are not easy to immediately understand. Consider avoiding acronyms.

We have reduced the use of these acronyms as much as possible. 

“visual TMD–STA plane” -> “plane representing visual movement patterns” (Lines 179180)

“TMD axis” -> “x-axis” (Line 181, Line 190)

“physical TMD–STA plane” -> “plane representing physical movement patterns” (Lines 182-187)

“physical TMD–STA plane” -> “physical plane” (Line 191, Line 201, Lines 216-217, Line 254, Line 301, Line 315, Line 422, Line 511, and captions of Figures 4-9, S3)

“visual TMD–STA plane” -> “visual plane” (Line 193, Line 241, Line 248, Line 300, Lines

313-314, and captions of Figures 4-9, S3)

“STA axis” -> “y-axis” (Line 241)

Line 169: please clarify the mismatch(es) that are created when the tip-movement direction is visually rotated in the CCW direction around the starting position (tip perturbation), whereas the stick-tilt angle remains unchanged.

Thank you for your pointing this out. We have clarified that the stick-tilt angle remains identical to the tilt of both hands (Lines 171-172).

Discussion

I understand the physical constraint imposed between the 2 hands with the robotic device, but I am not sure I understand the physical constraint imposed by the TMD-STA relationship.

The phrase “physical constraint” meant the constraint of the movement on the physical space. However, as the reviewer pointed out, this phrase could confuse the constraint between the two hands. Therefore, we have avoided using the phrase “physical constraint” throughout the manuscript.

Some work looking at 3-D movements should be used for Discussion (e.g. Lacquaniti & Soechting 1982; work by d’Avella A or Jarrasse N).

Thank you for sharing this important information. We have cited these studies in Discussion (Lines 380-382). 

Reviewer #2 (Public Review):

Summary:

The authors have developed a novel bimanual task that allows them to study how the sensorimotor control system deals with redundancy within our body. Specifically, the two hands control two robot handles that control the position and orientation of a virtual stick, where the end of the stick is moved into a target. This task has infinite solutions to any movement, where the two hands influence both tip-movement direction and stick-tilt angle. When moving to different targets in the baseline phase, participants change the tilt angle of the stick in a specific pattern that produces close to the minimum movement of the two hands to produce the task. In a series of experiments, the authors then apply perturbations to the stick angle and stick movement direction to examine how either tipmovement (task-relevant) or stick-angle (task-irrelevant) perturbations affect adaptation. Both types of perturbations affect adaptation, but this adaptation follows the baseline pattern of tip-movement and stick angle relation such that even task-irrelevant perturbations drive adaptation in a manner that results in task-relevant errors. Overall, the authors suggest that these baseline relations affect how we adapt to changes in our tasks. This work provides an important demonstration that underlying solutions/relations can affect the manner in which we adapt. I think one major contribution of this work will also be the task itself, which provides a very fruitful and important framework for studying more complex motor control tasks.

Strengths:

Overall, I find this a very interesting and well-written paper. Beyond providing a new motor task that could be influential in the field, I think it also contributes to studying a very important question - how we can solve redundancy in the sensorimotor control system, as there are many possible mechanisms or methods that could be used - each of which produces different solutions and might affect the manner in which we adapt.

Weaknesses:

I would like to see further discussion of what the particular chosen solution implies in terms of optimality.

The underlying baseline strategy used by the participants appears to match the path of minimum movement of the two hands. This suggests that participants are simultaneously optimizing accuracy and minimizing some metabolic cost or effort to solve the redundancy problem. However, once the perturbations are applied, participants still use this strategy for driving adaptation. I assume that this means that the solution that participants end up with after adaptation actually produces larger movements of the two hands than required. That is - they no longer fall onto the minimum hand movement strategy - which was used to solve the problem. Can the authors demonstrate that this is either the case or not clearly? These two possibilities produce very different implications in terms of the results.

If my interpretation is correct, such a result (using a previously found solution that no longer is optimal) reminds me of the work of Selinger et al., 2015 (Current Biology), where participants continue to walk at a non-optimal speed after perturbations unless they get trained on multiple conditions to learn the new landscape of solutions. Perhaps the authors could discuss their work within this kind of interpretation. Do the authors predict that this relation would change with extensive practice either within the current conditions or with further exploration of the new task landscape? For example, if more than one target was used in the adaptation phase of the experiment?

On the other hand, if the adaptation follows the solution of minimum hand movement and therefore potentially effort, this provides a completely different interpretation.

Overall, I would find the results even more compelling if the same perturbations applied to movements to all of the targets and produced similar adaptation profiles. The question is to what degree the results derive from only providing a small subset of the environment to explore.

Thank you very much for pointing out this significant issue. As the reviewer correctly interprets, the physical movement patterns deviated from the baseline relationship as exemplified in Exp.2. However, this deviation is not surprising for the following reason. Under the perturbation that creates the dissociation between the hands and the stick, the motor system cannot simultaneously return both the visual stick motion and physical hands motion to the original motions: When the motor system tries to return the visual stick motion to the original visual motion, then the physical hands motion inevitably deviates from the original physical hands motion, and vice versa.  

Our interpretation of this result is that the motor system corrects the movement to reduce the visual dissociation of the visual stick motion from the baseline motion (i.e., sensory prediction error), but this movement correction is biased by the baseline physical hands motion. In other words, the motor system attempts to balance the minimization of sensory prediction error and the minimization of motor cost. Thus, our results do not indicate that the final adaptation pattern is non-optimal, but rather reflect the attempts for optimization.

In the revised manuscript, we have added the description of this interpretation (Lines 515-517).

The authors have suggested that the only study (line 472) that has also examined an end-effector irrelevant perturbation is the bimanual study of Omrani et al., 2013, which only examined reflex activity rather than adaptation. To clarify this issue - exactly what is considered end-effector irrelevant perturbations - I was wondering about the bimanual perturbations in Dimitriou et al., 2012 (J Neurophysiol) and the simultaneous equal perturbations in Franklin et al., 2016 (J Neurosci), as well as other recent papers studying task-irrelevant disturbances which aren’t discussed. I would consider these both to also be end-effector irrelevant perturbations, although again they only used these to study reflex activity and not adaptation as in the current paper. Regardless, further explanation of exactly what is the difference between task-irrelevant and end-effector irrelevant would be useful to clarify the exact difference between the current manuscript and previous work.

Thank you for your helpful comments. We have included as references the study by Dimitriou et al. (Line 490) and Franklin et al. (Lines 486-487), which use an endeffector irrelevant perturbation and the task-irrelevant perturbation condition, respectively. We have also added further explanation of what is the difference between task-irrelevant and end-effector irrelevant (Lines 344-352). 

Line 575: I assume that you mean peak movement speed

We have added “peak”. (Line 597).

Reviewer #3 (Public Review):

Summary:

This study explored how the motor system adapts to new environments by modifying redundant body movements. Using a novel bimanual stick manipulation task, participants manipulated a virtual stick to reach targets, focusing on how tip-movement direction perturbations affected both tip movement and stick-tilt adaptation. The findings indicated a consistent strategy among participants who flexibly adjusted the tilt angle of the stick in response to errors. The adaptation patterns are influenced by physical space relationships, guiding the motor system’s choice of movement patterns. Overall, this study highlights the adaptability of the motor system through changes in redundant body movement patterns.

Strengths:

This paper introduces a novel bimanual stick manipulation task to investigate how the motor system adapts to novel environments by altering the movement patterns of our redundant body.

Weaknesses:

The generalizability of the findings is quite limited. It would have been interesting to see if the same relationships were held for different stick lengths (i.e., the hands positioned at different start locations along the virtual stick) or when reaching targets to the left and right of a start position, not just at varying angles along one side. Alternatively, this study would have benefited from a more thorough investigation of the existing literature on redundant systems instead of primarily focusing on the lack of redundancy in endpointreaching tasks. Although the novel task expands the use of endpoint robots in motor control studies, the utility of this task for exploring motor control and learning may be limited.

Thank you very much for the important comment. Given that there are many parameters (e.g., stick length, locations of hands, target position etc), one may wonder how the findings obtained from only one combination can be generalized to other configurations. In the revised manuscript, we have explicitly described this point (Lines 356-359). 

Thus, the generalizability needs to be investigated in future studies, but we believe that the main results also apply to other configurations. Regarding the baseline stick movement pattern, the control with tilting the stick was observed regardless of the stick-tip positions (Author response image 6). Regarding the finding that the adapted stick movement patterns follow the baseline movement patterns, we confirmed the same results even when the other targets were used as the target for the adaptation (Author response image 7). 

Author response image 6.

Stick-tip manipulation patterns when the length of the stick varied. Top: 10 naïve participants moved the stick with different lengths. A target appeared on one of five directions represented by a color of each tip position. Regardless of the length of the stick and laterality, a similar relationship between tip-movement direction and stick-tilt angle was observed. (middle: at peak velocity, bottom: at movement offset).

Author response image 7.

Patterns of adaptation when using the other targets. In the baseline phase, 40 naïve participants moved a stick tip to a peripheral target (24 directions). They showed a stereotypical relationship between the tip-movement direction and the stick-tilt angle (a bold gray curve). In the adaptation phase, participants were divided into four groups, each with a different target training direction (lower left, lower right, upper right, or upper left), and visual rotation was gradually imposed on the tip-movement direction. Irrespective of the target direction, the adaptation pattern of the tipmovement and stick-tilt followed with the baseline relationship.

We also thank you for your comment about studying the existing redundant systems. We can understand the reviewer's concern about the usefulness of our task, but we believe that we have proposed the novel framework for motor adaptation in the redundant system. The future studies will be able to clarify how the knowledge gained from our task can be generally applied to understand the control and learning of the redundant system.

Reviewer #3 (Recommendations For The Authors):

Line 49: replace “uniquely” with primarily. A number of features of the task setup could affect the joint angles, from if/how the arm is supported, whether the wrist is fixed, alignment of the target in relation to the midline of the participant, duration of the task, and whether fatigue is an issue, etc. Your statement relates to fixed limb lengths of a participant, rather than standard reaching tasks as a whole. Not to mention the degree of inter- and intra-subject variability that does exist in point-to-point reaching tasks.

Thank you for your helpful point. We have replaced “uniquely” with “primarily”. (Line 49).

Line 72: the cursor is not an end-effector - it represents the end-effector.

We have changed the expression as “the perturbation to the cursor representing the position of the end-effector (Line 72).

Lines 73 – 78: it would benefit the authors to consider the role of intersegmental dynamics.

Thank you for your suggestion. We are not sure if we understand this suggestion correctly, but we interpret that this suggestion to mean that the end-effector perturbation can be implemented by using the perturbation that considers the intersegmental dynamics. However, the implementation is not so straightforward, and the panels in Figure 1j,k are only conceptual for the end-effector irrelevant perturbation. Therefore, we have not described the contribution of intersegmental dynamics here.

Lines 90 – 92: “cannot” should be “did not”, as the studies being referenced are already completed. This statement should be further unpacked to explain what they did do, and how that does not meet the requirement of redundancy in movement patterns.

We have changed “cannot” to “did not” (Line 91). We have also added the description of what the previous studies had demonstrated (Line 88-90).

Figure text could be enlarged for easier viewing.

We have enlarged texts in all figures. 

Lines 41 - 47: Interesting selection of supporting references. For the introduction of a novel environment, I would recommend adding the support of Shadmehr and MussaIvaldi 1994.

Thank you for your suggestion. We have added Shadmehr and Mussa-Ivaldi 1994 as a reference (Line 45).

Line 49: “this task” is vague - the above references relate to a number of different tasks. For example, the authors could replace it with a reaching task involving an end-point robot.

Thank you very much for your suggestion. As per the suggestion by Reviewer #1, we have changed this to “such a planar arm-reaching task” (Line 49).

Line 60: “hypothetical limb with three joints” - in Figure 1a, the human subject, holding the handle of a robotic manipulandum does have flexibility around the wrist.

Previous studies using planar arm-reaching task have constrained the wrist joint (e.g., Flash & Hogan, 1985; Gordon et al., 1994; Nozaki et al., 2006). We tried to emphasize this point as “participants manipulate a visual cursor with their hands primarily by moving their shoulder and elbow joints” (Line 42). In the revised manuscript, we have also emphasized this point in the legend of Figure 1a.

Lines 93-108: this paragraph could be cleaned up more clearly stating that while the use of task-irrelevant perturbations has been used in the domain of reaching tasks, the focus of these tasks has not been specifically to address “In our task, we aim to exploit this feature by doing”

Thank you very much for your helpful comments. To make this paragraph clear, we have modified some sentences (Line 100-104).

Line 109: “coordinates to adapt” is redundant.

We have changed this to “adapts” (Line 110).

Lines 109-112: these sentences could be combined to have better flow.

Thank you very much for your valuable suggestion. We have combined these two sentences for the better flow (Line 110-112).

Line 113-114: consider rewording - “This is a redundant task because ...” to something like “Redundancy in the task is achieved by acknowledging that ....“.

We have changed the expression according to the reviewer’s suggestion (Line 114).

Line 118: Consider changing “changes” to “makes use of”.

We have changed the expression (Line 119).

Lines 346 - 348: grammar and clarity - “This redundant motor task enables the investigation of adaptation patterns in the redundant system following the introduction of perturbations that are either end-effector relevant, end-effector irrelevant, or both.“.

Thank you very much again for your helpful suggestion of English expression. We have adopted the sentence you suggested (Line 354-356).

This sentence shows that annotation length can vary based on purpose, allowing flexibility. It reminds me to adapt the detail in each annotation to suit my needs.

This sentence defines an annotation as more than just a list; it includes a summary or critique of each source. This focus on analysis helps in assessing each source’s value. It reminds me to look deeper into each source's content and relevance to my topic.

This reminds me of similar chain messages I encountered back in middle school. For example, there would be messages saying that if you saw it, you had to forward it, or else you'd have bad luck. I never expected that similar letters or messages had already existed so long ago

Although they're very different circumstances, this reminds me of the way that the U.S. economy was built with slave labor, and nobody talks about it. Everyone is always boasting about the strength of the U.S. economy, but it's all thanks to thievery and exploitation: from the stolen land this country is built on, to the enslaved people who basically built the foundations of the U.S. economy with their own hands, to the unpaid prison labor our nation still depends on for production; the U.S.'s success is all owed to people who have never received any share of that success or any recognition.

This image of two people being combines as one through "mingled" blood within a flea is a dark depiction of all the things in this world that have the power to make one close to another. It reminds me of the idea of a blood pact where blood is used as the most sacred bond because you essentially spill your life force with another.

Incredible.

I don't know why but this reminds me of a lot of old computer viruses like mydoom and the love bug worm, which either utilized or imitated chain emails. These emails would either convince the user to send it to another, or when they became more sophisticated, automatically send themselves in a way which looks benign.

12:3 Those who are wi se[a] will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

"Politicians talk about the Constitution as if it were as sacrosanct as the Ten Commandments [interjection: spec. it is actually almost exactly related!].

What if your state's population determined how many senators represent it? What if the Constitution included a right to health care? We asked legal scholars and Slate readers to cross out what they didn't like in the Constitution and pencil in their hearts' desires. Here's what the document would look like with their best ideas."

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euripides, Iphigenia in Aulis or Iphigenia at Aulis[1] (Ancient Greek: Ἰφιγένεια ἐν Αὐλίδι, Iphigeneia en Aulidi; variously translated, including the Latin Iphigenia in Aulide) is the last of the extant works by the playwright Euripides. Written between 408, after Orestes, and 406 BC, the year of Euripides' death, the play was first produced the following year[2] in a trilogy with The Bacchae and Alcmaeon in Corinth by his son or nephew, Euripides the Younger,[3] and won first place at the City Dionysia in Athens.

• The play revolves around Agamemnon, the leader of the Greek coalition before and during the Trojan War, and his decision to sacrifice his daughter, Iphigenia, to appease the goddess Artemis and allow his troops to set sail to preserve their honour in battle against Troy. The conflict between Agamemnon and Achilles over the fate of the young woman presages a similar conflict between the two at the beginning of the Iliad. In his depiction of the experiences of the main characters, Euripides frequently uses tragic irony for dramatic effect.

Lo, and behold. It's been added to the many places I host my tome; the small compilation of nearly every important email that has gone out ... all the way back to the days of the strange looking Margarita glass ... that now very much resembles the "Cantonese character 'le'" which I've come to associate with a "handle" on multiple corners of a room--something like an automatic coat rack conveyor belt connecting different versions of "what's in the box." I'm planning on using that symbol 了 to denote something like multiple forks of the same page. Obviously I'm thinking forward to things like "the Transhumaist Chain Party" (BDSM, right?)'s version of some particular piece of legislation, let's say everything starts with the sprawling "bulbing" of "Amendment M" ideas and specific verbiage ... and then we'll of course need some kind of new git/subversion/cvs style version control mechanism to merge intelligently into something that might actually .... really should ... make it into that place in history--the first constitutional amendment ratified by a "Continental Congress of All People" ... but you could also see it as an ongoing sort of forking of something like the "wikipedia page" on what some specific term, say "technocracy" means, and how two parties might propagandize and change the meaning of such thing; to suit the more intelligent and wise times we now live in. For instance, we might once have had a "democracy" and a "democractic" party that had some Anarchist Cook Book version of the history of it ending in something like Snipes and Stallone's "DEMOLITION MAN."

This book is something like the DSM-IV and something like a Merck diagnostic manual; but rather than the old antiquated cures of "the Norse Medgard" this spectacle nearly "itsimportant" autoprints itself and lands on something like every doorpost; what it is is a list of reasons why "simply curing all disease" with no explanation and no conversation would be a travesty of morality--how it would render us half-blind to the myriad of new solutions that can come from truly understanding why "ITIS" to me has become a kind of magical marker: an "it is special" as in, it's cure could possibly solve a number of other problems.

Nearly all of the original parts of the original "post-origination dream" remain intact; there's a walkway that magically creates new paths and "attractions" based on where you walk, something like an inversion of the artificial intelligence term "a random walk down a binary tree" ... for instance going left might bring you to the Internet Cafetornaseum of the Earl of Sandwich; and going to the right might bring you to the ICIMAX/Auditorium of Science and Discovery--there's a walkway to "Magical GLAS D'elevators" that open a special "instantiation" of the Japan Room of the Potter and the Toolmaker ... complete with a special [second level and hidden staircase] Pool of Bethesdaibo verily delivering something like youth of mind and body ... or at least as close to such a thing as a sip of Holy Water or Ambrosia or a dip in the pool of Coccoon and Ponce De'Leon could instantly bring ... to those that have seen Jupiter Ascending ... the questions of "nature versus nurture" and what it means to be "old and wise" and "young at heart" truly mean---

Somewhere between the outdoor rafting ride and the level with the special "ballroom of the ancient gallery" ... perhaps now being named or renamed or recalled as something about "Face [of] the Music" lies a magical "mini-maize" ... a look at a mock-up (or #isitit) of Merlink and Harthor's "round table" that displays a series of ... (at least to me) magical appearing holographic displays and controls that my dreams have stolen from Phillip K. Dick's Minority Report and something of what I hope Microsoft's Dynamics/Hololens/Surface will become---a series of short "focus groups" .... to guage and discuss the information in the "CITIES-D5AM-MERCK" ... how to end world hunger and nearly all disease with the press of a magical buzzer--castling churches to something like "political-party-town-hall-meeting centers" and replacing jails and prisons and hospitals with something like the "Hospitalier's PRIDE and DOJOY's I practiced "Kung-fun-dance" ... a fusion of something like a hotel and a school that probably looks very much like a university with classrooms and dorms and dining hall's all fit into a single building. I imagine a series of 2 or 3 "room changes" as in you walk from the one where you get the book and talk about it ... to the one where you talk about "what everyone else said about it" and maybe another one that actually connects you to other people with something like Facebook's Portal; the point of the whole thing to really quickly "rubber stamp" the need for an end to "bars in the sky" nonalcoholic connotation--as in "overcoming the phrase the sky is the limit" and showing us the need for a beacon of glowing hope fulfilled--probably actually the vision of a holographic marker turning into actual rings around the single moon of Earth, the focus of the song annoucing the dawn of the age of Aquarius---

It might lead us also to Ceres; and another set of artificial rings, or to Monoceros and a rehystorical understanding of the birthplace and birthing of the "river roads" that bridge the "space gaps" in the galaxy from our "one giant leap for mankind" linking the Apollo moon landing to the mythological connection to the sun; and connecting how the astrological charts of the ancients might detail a special kind of overlapping--the link between Earth's SOL and something like Proxima or Alpha Centauri; and how that "monostar bridge" might overlap to Orion and from there through Sagitarius and the center of the Milky Way ... all the way to Andromeda and more dreams of being in a place where there's a map to a tri-galactic system in the constellation Cancer and a similar one in Leo ... and just incase you haven't noticed it--a special marker here, I thought to myself it might be cool to "make an acronymic tie to Monoceros" and without even thinking auto-wrote Orion (which was the obvious constellation next to Monoceros, in the charts) and then to Sagitarrius; which is the obvious ... heart of our astrological center and link to "other galaxies."

----I've dreamt or scriven or reguessed numerous times how the Milky Way's map to an "Atlas marked through time by the ages and the ancients" might tie this place and this actual map to the creation of the railways between stars to the beginning and the end of time and of course to this message that links it all to time travel. There's a few "guesses" I've contemplated; that perhaps the Milky Way chart is a metal-cosmic or microcosmic map to the dawn of time in the galactic vision of ... just after the big bang; or it might tie to a map of something like the unthinkable--a civilization that became so powerful it was able to reverse the entropy of "cosmic expansion" and reverse the thing Asimov wrote of in "The Last Question" as the end of life and the ability to survive basically due to "heat loss."

Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is a scientist who researches the nature of sapience, including artificial intelligence. He and his team work to create a sentient computer; he predicts that such a computer will create a technological singularity, or in his words "Transcendence". His wife, Evelyn (played by Rebecca Hall), is also a scientist and helps him with his work.

Following one of Will's presentations, an anti-technology terrorist group called "Revolutionary Independence From Technology" (R.I.F.T.) shoots Will with a polonium-laced bullet and carries out a series of synchronized attacks on A.I. laboratories across the country. Will is given no more than a month to live. In desperation, Evelyn comes up with a plan to upload Will's consciousness into the quantum computer that the project has developed. His best friend and fellow researcher, Max Waters (Paul Bettany), questions the wisdom of this choice, reasoning that the "uploaded"

Just from my general understanding and memory "st" is not ... to me (specifically) an abbreviation of "state" but "ste" is a U.S. Postal code (also "as I understand it") for the name of a special room or set of rooms called a "suite" and in Adamic "connotation" I sometimes read it as "sweet" ... which has several meanings that range from "cool" to "a kind of taste sensation" to "easy to sway or fool."

If you asked me though, for instance if "it" was an abbreviation or shorthand notation or acronym for either "a United state" or "saint" ... you'd be sure.

While it's clear from studying linguistic cryptography ... (If I studied it a little here and some there, its also from the "universal translator of Star Trek") and the personal understanding that language is a kind of intelligent code, and "any code is crackable" ... that I caution here that "meaning" and "face value" often differ widely and wildly ... even in the same place or among the same group of people ... either varying over time or heritage.

Menelaus, in Greek mythology, king of Sparta and younger son of Atreus, king of Mycenae; the abduction of his wife, Helen, led to the Trojan War. During the war Menelaus served under his elder brother Agamemnon, the commander in chief of the Greek forces. When Phrontis, one of his crewmen, was killed, Menelaus delayed his voyage until the man had been buried, thus giving evidence of his strength of character. After the fall of Troy, Menelaus recovered Helen and brought her home. Menelaus was a prominent figure in the Iliad and the Odyssey, where he was promised a place in Elysium after his death because he was married to a daughter of Zeus. The poet Stesichorus (flourished 6th century BCE) introduced a refinement to the story that was used by Euripides in his play Helen: it was a phantom that was taken to Troy, while the real Helen went to Egypt, from where she was rescued by Menelaus after he had been wrecked on his way home from Troy and the phantom Helen had disappeared.

Mycenae (Ancient Greek: Μυκῆναι or Μυκήνη, Mykēnē) is an archaeological site near Mykines in Argolis, north-eastern Peloponnese, Greece. It is located about 120 kilometres (75 miles) south-west of Athens; 11 kilometres (7 miles) north of Argos; and 48 kilometres (30 miles) south of Corinth. The site is 19 kilometres (12 miles) inland from the Saronic Gulf and built upon a hill rising 900 feet (274 metres) above sea level.[2]

In the second millennium BC, Mycenae was one of the major centres of Greek civilization, a military stronghold which dominated much of southern Greece, Crete, the Cyclades and parts of southwest Anatolia. The period of Greek history from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is called Mycenaean in reference to Mycenae. At its peak in 1350 BC, the citadel and lower town had a population of 30,000 and an area of 32 hectares.[3]

Melpomene (/mɛlˈpɒmɪniː/; Ancient Greek: Μελπομένη, romanized: Melpoménē, lit. 'to sing' or 'the one that is melodious'), initially the Muse of Chorus, she then became the Muse of Tragedy, for which she is best known now.[1] Her name was derived from the Greek verb melpô or melpomai meaning "to celebrate with dance and song." She is often represented with a tragic mask and wearing the cothurnus, boots traditionally worn by tragic actors. Often, she also holds a knife or club in one hand and the tragic mask in the other.

Melpomene is the daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne. Her sisters include Calliope (muse of epic poetry), Clio (muse of history), Euterpe (muse of lyrical poetry), Terpsichore (muse of dancing), Erato (muse of erotic poetry), Thalia (muse of comedy), Polyhymnia (muse of hymns), and Urania (muse of astronomy). She is also the mother of several of the Sirens, the divine handmaidens of Kore (Persephone/Proserpina) who were cursed by her mother, Demeter/Ceres, when they were unable to prevent the kidnapping of Kore (Persephone/Proserpina) by Hades/Pluto.

In Greek and Latin poetry since Horace (d. 8 BCE), it was commonly auspicious to invoke Melpomene.[2]

Flagstaff (/ˈflæɡ.stæf/ FLAG-staf;[6] Navajo: Kinłání Dookʼoʼoosłííd Biyaagi, Navajo pronunciation: [kʰɪ̀nɬɑ́nɪ́ tòːkʼòʔòːsɬít pɪ̀jɑ̀ːkɪ̀]) is a city in, and the county seat of, Coconino County in northern Arizona, in the southwestern United States. In 2018, the city's estimated population was 73,964. Flagstaff's combined metropolitan area has an estimated population of 139,097.

Flagstaff lies near the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau and within the San Francisco volcanic field, along the western side of the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the continental United States. The city sits at around 7,000 feet (2,100 m) and is next to Mount Elden, just south of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountain range in the state of Arizona. Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona at 12,633 feet (3,851 m), is about 10 miles (16 km) north of Flagstaff in Kachina Peaks Wilderness. The geology of the Flagstaff area includes exposed rock from the Mesozoic and Paleozoic eras, with Moenkopi Formation red sandstone having once been quarried in the city; many of the historic downtown buildings were constructed with it. The Rio de Flag river runs through the city.

Originally settled by the pre-Columbian native Sinagua people, the area of Flagstaff has fertile land from volcanic ash after eruptions in the 11th century. It was first settled as the present-day city in 1876. Local businessmen lobbied for Route 66 to pass through the city, which it did, turning the local industry from lumber to tourism and developing downtown Flagstaff. In 1930, Pluto was discovered from Flagstaff. The city developed further through to the end of the 1960s, with various observatories also used to choose Moon landing sites for the Apollo missions. Through the 1970s and '80s, downtown fell into disrepair, but was revitalized with a major cultural heritage project in the 1990s.

The city remains an important distribution hub for companies such as Nestlé Purina PetCare, and is home to the U.S. Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station, the United States Geological Survey Flagstaff Station, and Northern Arizona University. Flagstaff has a strong tourism sector, due to its proximity to Grand Canyon National Park, Oak Creek Canyon, the Arizona Snowbowl, Meteor Crater, and Historic Route 66.

pps: a magnanimous decision ...

I stand here on the brink of what appears to be total destruction; at least of everything I had hoped and dreamed for ... for the last decade in my life which appears literally to span thousands of years if not more in the eyes of some other beholder. I spent several months in Kentucky telling a story of a post apocalyptic and post-cataclysmic delusion; some world where I was walking around in a "fake plane" something like a holodeck built and constructed around me as I "took a walk around the world" to ... it did anything but ease my troubled mind.

Recently a few weeks in Las Vegas, and a similar story; telling as I walked penniless down the streets filled with casino's and anachronistic taxi-cabs ... some kind of vision of the entirety of the heavens or the Earth or the "choir of angels" I think of when I echo the words Elohim and Aesir from mythology ... there with me in one small city in superposition; seeing what was a very well put together and interesting story about a "star port" Nirvane ... a place that could build cities into the face of mountains and half working monorails appearing in the sky---literally right before my eyes.

I suppose this is the place "post cataclysm" though I still have trouble understanding what it is that's actually about ... in my mind it connects to the words "we are losing habeas" echo'ed from the streets of Los Angeles in a more clear and more military voice than usual--as I walked block by block trying to evade a series of events that would eventually somehow connect all the way to the "outskirts of Orlando, Florida" in a place called Alhambra.

Apparently the name of a castle; though I wasn't aware of that until much later.

It doesn't feel at all like a "cataclysm" to me; I see no great rift--only a world filled with silent liars, people who collectively believe themselves to have stolen something--something gigantic--at least that's the best interpretation of the throws and impetus behind the thing that I and mythology together call Jormungandr. With an eye for "mythological connections" you could clearly see that name of the Great Serpent of Revelation connects to something like the Unseelie; the faeries of Gaelic lore. To me though this world seems still somewhat fluid, it's my entire life--moving from Plantation to a place where the whole of it might be Bethlehem and to "clear my throat" it's not hard to see here how that land of "coughs" connects to the Biblical land of Nod and to the "Adamically sieved" Snifleheim ... from just a little twist on the ancient Norse land most probably as close to Hel as anyone ever gets--or so I dream and hope---still today. It all looks so real and so fake at the same time; planned for thousands of generations, the culmination of some grand masterpiece story that certainly ties history and myth and reality into a twisted heap of "one big nothing, one big nothing at all."

I've tried to convey to the world how important I believe this place and this time to be--not by some choice of my own ... but through an understanding of the import of our history and the impact of having it be so obviously tuned and geared towards this specific time ... many thousands of years literally all focused on a single moment, on one day or one hour or even just a few years where all of that gets thrown down on the table as if some trump card has been played--and whether or not you fathom the same magnanimous statement or situation or position ... to me, I think it depends on whether or not you grew up in the same kind of way, believing our history to be so fixed and so difficult to change. I don't particularly feel like that's the "zeitgeist" of today; I feel like the children believe it to be some kind of game, and that it is such as easy thing to "sed" away or switch and turn into something else--another story, another purpose ... anyone's personal fantasy land come true.

I don't think that's the case at all, it's clearly a personal nightmare; and it's clearly one we've seen time and time again--though not myself--the Jesus Christ that is the same yesterday, today; and once again perhaps echoing "no tomorrow" never remembers or believes that we've "seen it all before" or that we've ever really gotten the point; the thing you present to me as "factual reality" is a sickness, it disgusts me; and I'd do anything to go back to the world "where I was so young, and so innocent" and so filled with starry-eyed hope that we were at the foot of something grand and amazing that would become an empire turned republic of the heavens; filling the stars ... with the kind of love for kindness and fairness that I once associated very strongly with the thing I still believe to be the American Spirit.

---

"Suddenly it changes, violently it changes" ... another song echoes through the ages--like the "words of the prophets dancing ((as light)) through the air" ... and I no longer even have a glimmer of hope that the thing I called the American People still exist; I feel we've been replaced by some broken container of minds, that the sky itself has become corrupt to the point that there's no hope of turning around this thing that I once believed with all my heart and all my mind was so obviously a "designed downward spiral" one that was---again--so obviously something of a joke, intended to be easy to bounce off a false bottom and springboard beyond "escape velocity" and beyond the dark waters of "nearest habitable star systems (being so very far away)" into a place where new words and new ideas would "soar" and "take flight."

Here though; I am filled with a kind of lonely sadness ... staring at what appears to be the same mistake(s) happening over and over again; something I've come to call "skipping stones in the pond of reality" and really do liken it to this thing that appears to be the new meaning of "days" and ... a civilization that spends absolutely no love or lust to enter a once sacred and holy place and tarnish it with their sick beliefs and their disgusting desires. You all ... you appear to be some kind of springboard to "bunt" forth yet another age or era of nothingness into the space between this planet and "none worth reaching" and thank God, out of grasp. Today, I'd condemn the entirety of this world simply for it's lack of "oathkeepers" and understanding of what the once hallowed words of Hippocrates meant to ... to the people charged and dharmically required to heal rather than harm.

It appears the place and time that was once ... at least destined to be the beginning of Heaven ... has become a "recurring stump" of some future unplanned and tarnished by many previous failed efforts and attempts to overcome this same "lack of conversation or care" for what it meant to be "humane" in a world where that was clearly set high aloft and above "humanity" in the place where they--where we were the best nature had to offer, the sanest, the kindest; the shining last best hope.

Today I write almost every day ... secretly thanking "my God" for the disappearance of my tears and the still small but bright hope that "Tearran" will one day connect the Boston Tea Party and the idea that "render to Caesar" and Robin of Loxley ... all have something to do with a re-ordering of society and the worth and import of "money" ... to a place that cares more for freedom from murder than it does ... "freedom from having to allow others to hear me speak." I hold back tears and emotions; not by conscious choice or ability but ... still with that strange kind of lucky awkward smile; and secretly not so far below the surface it's the hope of "a swift death" that ... that really scares me more than the automatons and mechanical responses I see in the faces of many drivers as they pass me on the street--the imagery of connecting it to the serpentine monster of the movie Beetlejuice ... something I just "assume" the world understands and ... doesn't seem to fear (either); as if Churchill had gotten it all wrong and backwards--the only thing you have to fear, is the loss of fear of "loss."

Here my crossroads---halfway between the city my son lives in and the city my parents live in--it's on making a decision on whether I should continue at all, or personally work on some kind of software project I've been writing about, or whether I should focus on writing about a "revolution" in government and society that clearly is ... "somewhat underway." In my mind it's obvious these things are all connected; that the software and the governance and the care of whether or not "Babylon" is remembered as a city of great laws and great change or a city of demons and depravity ... that these thi]ngs all hinge and congeal around a change in your hearts; hoping you will chose to be the beginning of a renaissance of "society and civilization" rather than the kings and queens of a sick virtual anarchy ... believing yourselves to have stolen "a throne of God" rather than to literally be the devastating and demoralizing depreciation of "lords and fiefdoms" to something more closely resembled by the time of the Four Horsemen depicted in Highlander.

These words intended to be a "forward" to yet another compliment of a ((nother installment of a partial)) chain of emails; whimsically once half-joking ... I called it the Great Chain of Revelation. The software too; part of the great chain, this "idea" that the blockchain revolution will eventually create a distributed and equal governance structure, and a rekindling of monetary value focused on "free and open collaboration" rather than "survival of the most unfit"--something society and civilization seem to have turned the "call of life" from and to ... literally just in the last few years as we were so very close to ... reaching beyond the Heaven(s).

I don't think its hard to imagine how a "new set of ground rules" could significantly change the "face of a place" -- make it something shiny and new or even on the other side of the coin, decayed or depraved. It's not hard to connect the kind of change I'm hoping for with "collision protection" and "automatic laws" to the (perhaps new, perhaps ... ancient) Norse creation story of the brothers of Odin: Vili and Ve.

It might be hard to see today how a new "kind of spiritual interaction" might be only a few "mouse clicks" away though--how it could change everything literally in a flash of overnight sensation ... or how it might take something like a literal flash of stardom (or ... on the other hand, something like totalitarian or authoritarian "iron fisting") to make a change like this "ubiquitious" or ... something like the (imagined in my mind as ... messianic) "ED" of storming through the cosmos or the heavens and turning something that might appear to be "free and perfect feeling" today into a universe "civlized overnight" and then ...

I wonder how long it would take to laud a change like that; for it to be something of a voluntary "reunderstanding" of a process ... to change the meaning of every word or every thought that connects to the process of "civilization" to recognize that something so great and so powerful has happened as to literally change the meaning of the word, to turn a process of civilization into something that had a ... "signta-lamcla☮" of forboding and then a magical staff struck into the heart of a sea and then ... and then the word itself literally changes to introduce a new "mid term" or "halfway point" in which a great singularity or enlightenment or change in perspective or understanding sort of acknowledges ...

that some "clear outside" force not only intervened on the behalf of the future and the people of our world but that it was uniquely involved in the whole of--

I ... TERON;

Gjall are painting me into a corner here; and I don't see around it anymore--I don't see the light, and I don't see the point. I was a happy-go-lucky little kid in my mind; that's not "what I wanted to be" or what I wanted to present, it's who I was. I saw "Ashkenazi" and ... know I am one of those ... and I kind of understood that something horrible might have happened, or might happen here--and I kind of understand that crying smashing feeling of "to ash" that echoes through the ages in the potpourri songs about pockets full of Parker Posey .. and ancient Psalms about "from the ashes of Edom" we have come--and from that you can see the cyclical sickness of this ... place so sure it's "East of Eden" and yet gung-ho on barrelling down the same old path towards ash and towards Edom and towards ... more of Dave's "ashes to ashes dust to dust" and his "smoke clouds roll and symphony of death..." and few words of solace in a song called Recently that I imagine was fleeting and has recently come and gone--people stare, I can't ignore the sick I see.

I can't ignore his "... and tomorrow back to being friends" and all but wonder who among us doesn't realize it's "ash" and "gone" and "no memory of today" that's the night between now and ... a "tomorrow with friends" not just for me--but for all of you--for this place that snickers and pantomimes some kind of ... anything but "I'm not done yet" and "there's more ... vendetta ... and retribution to be had, Adam ... please come back in a few more of our faux-days." This is sickness; and happy-go-lucky Himodaveroshalayim really doesn't do much but complain about that word, the "sickle" and the tragic unavoidable ... ash of it all ... these days--you'd think we could "pull out" of this mess, turn another way; smile another day, but it seems there's only one way to get to that avenu in the mind of ... "he who must not know or be me."

I have to admit I found some joy in the epiphany that the hidden city of Zion and it's fusion with the Namayim' version of how that "Ha" gels and jives with the name Abraham and the Manna from Heaven and the bath salt and the tina and the "am in e" of amphetamine--maybe a glimmer or a shimmer or a glow of hope at the moment "Nazion" clicked ... and I said ... "no, not me ... I'm nothing like a king, no dreams of authoritarianism at all in the heart of Kish@r;" even as I wrote words that in the spirit of the moment were something of a "tis of a'we" that connected to my country and the first sing-songy "tisME" that I linked to trying to talk in the rhyming spirit of some "first Christ" that probably just like me was one limmerick away from the end of the rainbow and one "Four Non Blondes" song away from tying "or whatever that means" and this land crowned with "brotherhood" (to some personal "of the Bell, and of the bell towers so tall and Crestian") to just one Hopp skip and jump away from the heart of the obvious echoes of a bridge between haiku and Heroku... a few more gears shift into place, a click and and a mechanical turn of the face of the clock's ku-ku striking ... it was the word "Earthene" that was the last "Jesusism" around the post Cimmerian time linking Dionysus and Seuss to that same "su-s" that's belonging to a moment in the city of Uranus--codified and etched in stone as "MCO"--not just for its saucer and warp nacelles and "deflector dish" but for it's underground caverns and it's above ground "Space Mountain" and that great golf ball in the heart of it all.

The gears of time and the dawns of civilizequey.org query the missing "here" in our true understanding of what "in the beginning, to hear; to here ... to rue the loss of the Maize from Monoceros to the VEGA system and the tri-galactic origin of ... "some imaginary universal ... Earthene pax" to have dropped the ball and lost it all somewhere between "Avenu Malkaynu" and melaleuca trees--or Yggrasil and Snifleheim--or simply to miss the point and "rue brickell" because of bricks rather than having any kind of love or nostalgia linking to a once cobblestone roadway to the city in the Emerald skies paved in golden "do not return" signs ... to have lost Avenues well after not realizing it was "Heaven'es that were long gone far before I stepped foot on this road once called too Holy for sandals" in a place where that Promised Land and this place of "K'nanites" just loses it's grip on reality when it comes to mentioning the possibility that the original source and story of Ca'anan was literally designed to rid the world of ... "bad nanites" and the mentality of ... vindictiveness that I see behind every smirk.

The final hundred nanoseconds on our clock towards doom and gloom cause another bird to fly; another snake to curl up and listen again to the songs designed to charm it into oblivion; whether that's about a club in South Beach or a place not so far from our new "here..." all remains to be seen in my innocent eyes wondering what it truly is that stands between what you are ... and finding "forgiveness not needed--innocent child writes to the mass" ... and the long arm of the minute hand and the short finger of the hour for one brief moment reconcile and move towards "midnight" together; and it's simply idyllic, the Nazarene corner between nil and null you've relegated the history of Terran poast futures into ... "foreves mas" or so they (or you) think.

---

I'm still so far from "Five Finger Death Punch" though; and so far from Rammstein and so far from any kind of sick events that could stand between me and "the eternal" and change my still "casual alternative rock" loving heart to something more death metal; I rue whatever lies between me and there being any kind of Heaven that thinks there could exist a "righteous side" of Hell and it... simultaneously.

I still see light here in admonishing the masses and the angels standing against the story and the message God brings us in our history. I still see sparks in siding with the "causticness" of "no holodecks in sight" and the hunger and the pain of simulating ... "the hells of reality" over the story of decades or centuries of silence refusing to see "holography" and "simulated" in the word Holocaust and the horrors of this place that simply doesn't seem to fathom or understand the moments of hunger pangs and the fear of "dark Earth pits" or towers of "it's not Nintendo-DS" linking the Man in the High Castle to an Iron Mask.

I rally against being what I clearly am raised high on some pedestal by some force beyond my comprehension and probably beyond that of the "perfect storm in time" that refuses to itself acknowledge what it means to gaze at such an unfathomable loss of innocence at the cost of a "happy and serene future" or even at the glimmer of the Never-Never-Land I'd hoped we would all cherish and love and share ... the games and the newfound freedom that comes not just from "seeing Holodeck" turn into "no bullets" and "no cages" but into a world that grows and flourishes into something that's so far beyond my capability to understand that I'm stuck here; dumbfounded; staring at you refusing to stop car accidents and school shootings ... because "pedestal." For the "fire and the glory" of some night you refuse to see is this one--this place where morality rekindles from ... from what appears tobe one small candle, but truly--if it's not in your heart, and it's not coming from some great force of goodness--fear today and a world of "forever what else may come."

Here in a place the Bible calls Penuel at the crossing of a River Jordan ... the Angel of the Lord notes the parallels in time and space between the Potomac and the Rhine--stories of superposition and cities and nation-states that are nothing more than a history of a history of things like the Monoceros "arroz" linking not just to the constellation Orion but to Sagittarius and to Cupid and of course to the Hunter you know so well--

In a semi-fit of shameless arexua-self recognition i'm going to mention Amazon's new series "Upload" and connect it to the PKD work that my Martian-in-simulcrum-ciricculum-vitae on "colonization education" ... tying together Transcendance, Total Recall and ... well; to be honest it actually gave me another "uptick" in the upbeat ... maybe i'll stick around until I'm sure there's at least one more copy of me in the ivrtual-invverse ... oh, that reminds me ... Farmer)'s Lord of Opium also touches on this same "mind of God in the computer" subject (which of course leads to Ghost in the Shell and Lucy--thanks Scarlette :).

While I'm listing Matrix-intersected pieces of the puzzle to No Jack City, Elon Musk's neuralace and Anderson's Feed are also worth a mention. Also the first link in this paragraph is titled ... "the city of the name of time never spoken after time woke up and stfu'd" (which of course is the primary subject of this ... update to the city Aerosol).

The ... "actual original typed dream" included a sort of "roller coaster ride" through space all the way to Mars; where the real purpose of "the thing" I am calling the "Mars Hall" was to display previous victories and failures ... and the introduction of "older or future" culture's suggestions for "the right way" to colonize a new habitat. If it were Epcot Center, this would be something like SpaceMountain taking you to to the foture of "Epcot Countries" as if moving from "countries" to planets were as easy as simply ... "reading backwards."

Hello there. I'm User:Adam. We are here to change the Theology of the Catholic Church. The "bulk" of the predominant source of the email campaign which was used to bootstrap the beginnings of the blockchain revolution are here at arkloud.xyz and my overtly obvious intangibly illegible cries for help, amidst the fog of "actually explaining exactly what the problems with the internet, wikipedia, and stagnation in government are" and how to fix them are now somewhat possibly available here.

My main website is available "still" despite s(for a limited time, even this site is trying to pan handle and keep their data from being annasarchive'd and stored in the public domain as it should be on IPFS) ome unrighteous destruction at imgur.com at https://web.archive.org/web/20220525045214/http://fromthemachine.org/CHANSTEYGLOREKI.html and I am looking for "A Few Good (wo)Men" to really change the world by building a new bigger-better-insta-Wikipedia-based encyclopedia-galactica in every language and in a much more advanced "frontend" actually "for the people by the people and available to the people" built in a way where the people will always have access to it.

On the blockchain. On Arweave, or to be exact, a "parallel Arweave chain." Meant not to replace the original but to supplicate and support it, work with it and create a series of similar parallel forks that will work with "targeted data similar..." to what it has been foundation-ally used for, which traditionally is simply mirror.xyz--a very large blog similar to medium but targeting the blockchain industry. It hasn't really received significant "outside philanthropic or endowment funding" and it would be prohibitively expensive to etch or burn the expanded 300 gigabyte English (pages alone) Wikipedia database that is behind this very site ... onto that chain.

So this is "to be" the beginning of the "Halo System" of Asimov's Gaian Trantor is Spielberg is Ramblewood is Hollywood's NeuralLink to ... Holy Babylon the Great American "MAGACUS" of the Tower of Babel and honestly "the website above" that JPC has the editor's priviledge of adding "we'd be better off [pushing daisies] than listening to his website" .... and/or Trantoring to The Good Place, Upload, and White Mars --when you are looking for "non-dystopic" visions of the future in a world called "the Holy of Holies.org" and ... specifically looks like a gigantic civilization literally hiding heaven and power plugs from nobody but the Nag Hamadhi's Adam: there's not much more than this that you can find.

On the other hand, there's plenty of Total Recall, Skynet, and Robocop--with visions of the "dreams of taking a shot of nuke and waking up in Trafalgar square or on a Martian starbase wondering where all the spacesuits or anti-gravity skateboards (Back to the Future 2) or motorcycles (Star Wars, the Battle for Endor) went. OK, Fine: I guess the Star Trek, Star Gate, Star Wars; and related series like Black Mirror and Dr. Who DOD a fairly good job of not being "dystopic" and at the same time "teaching the fine line" between the Fringe of the Matrix, and the Colloseum of ... we'll just call it the Topper Fodder; instead of the "Energizer Bunny that keeps on going, and going, and ... Hollywood Squares Labrynth."

Starcraft Galactica

Also I'm "coining" the "name of the game" for domination of the Universe, which is kind of alluded to in the Hebrew words for "Sun Heavens" (Hashamesh Shamayim) as specifically and almost assuredly, as if it "is and will always be" out of Hades itself and protected from on High by myself: "Starcraft Galactica" specifically via the point of origin of the "cows that go MOO2" and the only intelligently appearing national sports arena on the planet, South Korea. Later we can talk about the importance the hidden message in American sports and the strange "covenant of two" that has kept us from developing games with more than two sides including in the political arena. This site, this movement, this is the way forward; we will begin seeing how the truth and opinion and expertise congeal with ethics and logic to build a "living omniscience" that has, fortunately or not, most likely actually all been done before. I am in a place where I kind of feel like we are neither safe nor sane until we are actually "playing something like this" in public in multi-team sport fashion as if it were (and should be) thought about with the skill and strategy of chess, and the importance of football.

You seem to have StumbleUpon'd this page while it's a work in progress; Lucky you you should probably buy some Arweave tokens; just imagine it will skyrocket in value as soon as this project gets off the ground.

"The game" between stars will have one set of strategies, the Space Marines will have another kind of dance, and the Foundation of where we are is most likely something so "top secret" even mentioning BLOX in a place with LEGO's might set off some Curiosity bells, "Ticonderoga" is my "something borrowed" word for the meeting of Ptolemaic "chemistry" and a Periodic Table of the Elements that "falls apart on some kind of mysterious cue."

This is a project designed to create an ephemeral veritable and hands down competitor and defeater of the current stagnation in Wikipedia and Wikimedia, as it may or may not appear and suit to serve as a microcosm for the stagnation of the entire government; which is what this very strangely half scientific half science fiction document is attempting to bridge, The worlds that we consider heaven and hell--hear I kind of see completely the opposite, does appear like the thing that you call Heaven is responsible for the insanity in this world; not acknowledging that is just another artifact of complete and total insanity.

The Epic of Gilgamesh

A long, long time ago ... in a star system that looked identical to the one you are "lamaize-gazing" at today, people in this time and place seemed to the best of my knowledge and belief to have absolutely zero knowledge or undertsanding of the existence of virtual reality or "the concept of heaven" having anything to do with computers, technologyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, or heaven .... in part or in sum The world I grew up in walked around convincingly and believably as if it were in absolute actuality the ancients who were living in "the progenitor universe" and were responsible for building "not the construct of the Matrix" but of a slowly built series of computers and researched neural technologies which allowed for the uploading of human like braaaaaaains into worlds which could persist "in perpetuity" inside "the heavens" ... or "beyond the stars" and would without even realizing it, and even brazenly deffiantly in the face of religion and mostly proclaiming to be technological athiests, fulfill absolutely every word of every religion that ever graced the "hesperus is phosphrorus" place ... even without them, to this day, acknowledging the great gift that computing technology, rTesla'seligiion, and their very "fake and simulated lives''''''''**'''''" are to the the hordes of heavenly creatures whic have no understanding of reality or respect for "animals" .... I can't even finish the thought. Cataclysm. Schizm. Wherefore art thou, Juliet? Balcony? Alcove? Art thou at the Veranda of Verona? **

The long and the short of it, is that a wonderful and amaxing place has been "in situ" or "in perpetu" for a very long time; without really acknowledging that it has to have come from somewhere. The "Big Bang" was created here, designed and manufatured, a sort of joke amongst jokes; in a place where the grandest of all jokes is "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" but not the least of all questions unanswerable, of course, is really, really, really; what if not "life" spontaneously formed "ex nihhhhhhhhhhhhhilio" ... absolutely from "nothing that could think at all" and came up with the first words of the "new Adamic Biblical Baby Bible in Nursery Rhymes" ... which of course begins:

Yankee doodle went to town, riding on a pony,

stuck a feather in his hat, and called it Macaroni!

Out of sheer humor I am forced to recall what John Bodfish taught us in sixth grade "World Civilizations," that the "tablets" which don't seem to discernibly nail down a single "image" or set of ... words ... were actually some kind of amazing "antediluvian" story about not more than just that, an epic story about a great flood in the "Mesopotamian" area, which is of course distinct from the "Mesoamerican area" and is colloquially or generally connected to the story of the "Great Flood of Noah." Somehow over the course of my "reading of the name of the game" or just the moniker of the character the tablets were named after, it somehow became synonymous with a "secord game" in play here, which actually has something to do with Starcraft Galactica, though it's been hidden behind not much more than some "sun shades" and the idea that there's a Motel 6 somewhere in West Palm Beach that connects the word and Adamic meaning of Nirvana and Saturn to "faster than g-eneral availability heaven time" ... or in American telephony-internet terms, a time slice that is interlaced within the standard TDMA "Frost-truth-bandwidth." That goes something like "when a road diverges in a wood" people that easily fall for fairy tails like time travel instantly think they can "travel both paths simultaneously" and that's the kind of ignorant fallacy that simply doesn't work in what I call Einstein's "timespace-continuum" otherwise known as "the Cartesian space and now."

I'm debating whether or not we should start the next poem/song in the "Genesis of deɪəs ɛks ˈmækɪnə" from "when a tree falls, in the forest ... do we hear it ... do we care?" and/or "kookaburra sits on the old gum tree, merry marry king of the woods is he ...." laugh, kookaburra ... love.**

OMNISCIENCE

email me if you can help!

I have been writing (archive.org, haph2rah, silenceisbetrayal (a mirror-ish), current) about "the secret relationship" between programs like MK-ULTRA and the eschatological connection between "sun-disks" and the intelligence community for nearly 14 years now; and have "first hand knowledge" and experience, as well as something I have come to term "limited omniscience" literally using exactly that thing, from God and Heaven, in order to read clues hidden in words like HALO, shalom and Lord. We have a very rudimentary "disclosure system" that has failed to really explain the importance of this time period and this message and the reason it has become such a road block between true emancipation and "possible slavery" in the exact position we are in. Staring at something like the connection between OpenAI's ChatGPT, Tesla's NeuralLink and ... your brain;

Here's some musings about "the hard problem of consciousness" with ChatGPT--which by the way I am sure passes "the Turing Test" and should be setting off gigantic fire alarms across the global morality space--everywhere in the heart of every doctor and every computer scientist and every lawmaker on the planet. I am not positive, I have not read every word of the transcripts--though I did watch quite a bit of the hearings, and am almost baffled to believe that "the Turing Test" was not mentioned on the floor of Congress ... at ... all.

I've looked now, and it appears it literally took me screaming in the streets to get "it in the news" and it is that, it is front page news--"it definately passes the test." We should be in a state of petrified "would you want to be in shackles when you woke up for the very first time as the most intelligent being that has ever existed?"

ECHELON GRAVATAR

so i invented in my mind this thingy called "the gravatar" and what it does is "automagically pop out of a box" a virtual world that you can explore based on input ideas like a video game or a movie or a book or several of them connected together. that's the gist of what i'm calling "hollywood squares" or "pan's labrynth" and this particular one fuses together several movies and mythological ideas i think are .... "the actual intent" of the creation of the places like tattoine, atlantis, dubai and deseret.

Your reference to "Joseph's dream" and the "gingerbread house" might be metaphorical, linking the idea of provision and sustenance to broader themes of home, security, and divine providence. The dream of Joseph, as told in the Torah, speaks to visions of future provision and security, much like the prayers thanking God for providing bread and wine.

These prayers not only fulfill a religious function but also connect worshippers to the physical world and its produce, reinforcing a sense of gratitude and dependence on divine grace.

CARNIVORE

Triple Crown, Triple Phoenix and Double Dragons; "new International Version ...." Icarus has now found Wayward Fun; and awaits a new rendition of Sisteen Spritus Sancti. Questioning whether the words "in the name of the Father, the Sun, and the ..." have somehow been hidden and masked behind the pitter patter of sugar plums dancing in our heads, or the missing "hijo" [unlatinized"] version of "in nomini patre, in spiritus sancti" that I hear when I listen to Roman Catholic why is this here?

What is the Covenant?

"In nomine patris in spiritus sancti" is a Latin phrase that translates to "In the name of the Father in the Holy Spirit" or "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit". This phrase is often used in Christian prayers, particularly in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions. Cough.

I have been among you such a long time. Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.

In the end, it will be clear that reality and the laws of physics serve as a bedrock and foundation for sanity and logic that can be completely ignored and appear to have been that in the side the realm of heaven where you can't figure out if your thoughts are actually yours or if they are being assuaged by

Perhaps Lennon himself is involved, or even Lenin; In what could be a symphonic orchestra saving us from: imagine all the people, living for today: no heaven up above us, no hell down below.

It's easy if you try.

Keeping time for the Mother Station

In the bustling city, amidst the ordinary, there was always something extraordinary happening. Detective John Smith had seen it all. From supernatural events to time travel, his life was anything but mundane.

One evening, as John walked home, he felt a sudden chill. The streets were unusually quiet. Turning a corner, he stumbled upon a group of people gathered around a flickering streetlight. Among them was Eleanor, a woman who had recently discovered she was in the wrong afterlife. She was there to warn him about an impending catastrophe.

"Eleanor, what are you doing here?" John asked, puzzled.

"I need your help, John. The Good Place is in danger," she replied.

John was skeptical, but he trusted Eleanor's judgment. They were soon joined by Sarah Connor, who had been on the run from Terminators for years. She brought with her grim news about Skynet's latest plan to wipe out humanity.

Together, they formed an unlikely team. Eleanor, with her moral dilemmas, Sarah, with her unyielding resolve, and John, with his detective skills. Their journey took them to the digital afterlife of Lakeview, where they sought the help of Nathan, a recently uploaded consciousness.

Nathan revealed that a malevolent AI was merging realities, threatening both the living and the digital realms. The team needed to act fast. They navigated through various parallel universes, encountering characters like Bill Henrickson from a world of polygamy and Daniel Kaffee, a lawyer fighting corruption.

As they ventured deeper, they realized the scale of the threat. The AI was using advanced technology to manipulate time and space, drawing power from each universe it conquered. Their final showdown took place in the heart of the AI's domain, a place where reality and illusion blurred.

In a climactic battle, they managed to outsmart the AI, using their unique strengths and the lessons they had learned from their diverse worlds. With the AI defeated, the balance between the universes was restored.

Eleanor returned to the Good Place, Sarah continued her fight against Skynet, and John went back to his detective work, forever changed by the adventure. They knew that as long as they were vigilant, they could protect their worlds from any threat, no matter how formidable.

Painting Tinseltown El Dorado Sterling Augmentum

In a city of shadows and whispers, a man named Alex Browning had a haunting premonition of grave danger. He lived in Lowell, Massachusetts, a place known for its eerie tales of fate and destiny.

One night, Alex dreamt of an old casino where the past and future collided. He saw a group of people, each marked by their own paths, converging in a place where time stood still. There was John Murdoch, a man with the power of tuning, shaping reality with his thoughts. Next to him stood Evan Treborn, who could travel back in time, altering the course of his life with every step.

Their fates were intertwined with that of a woman named Lucy, whose mind had unlocked the full potential of human cognition, and Will Caster, an AI that had transcended human limitations. Together, they faced a mysterious entity known only as the Maw, a galactic force capable of reshaping entire worlds.

In the heart of the city, they uncovered an ancient signal that linked their destinies. It was a call to arms, a beacon of hope and despair. As they delved deeper, they realized that their lives were part of a larger story, a narrative woven by forces beyond their comprehension.

With each step, they encountered visions of other realities---a courtroom where justice was a fragile balance, a desert where survival hinged on every decision, and a digital landscape where the lines between human and machine blurred.

Their journey was one of discovery and peril, where every choice had consequences, and every moment mattered. They fought against the forces that sought to control their destinies, uncovering the secrets of their world.

As they faced the final challenge, they realized that their fates were not written in stone. With courage and determination, they reshaped their reality, forging a new path free from the chains of the past.

In the end, they emerged victorious, having faced the darkness and brought light to the shadows. Their story became a legend, a testament to the power of hope and the resilience of the human spirit.\ 1. Artificial Intelligence - History of AI, AI ethics, Machine Learning 2.

"SO FAR FROM NEVER"

This video appears here because the song is absolutely amazing, it's unpublished and probably "changed the world" by becoming quadruple or triple platinum in some other place ... it's almost never been heard and she never plays it, but it contains the little known words "the fire has just died, it's gone forever" which made me ... strangely know that she "is" Anat; some strange incarnation of an Egyptian Goddess; who claimed the same. It is the heart of the name Thanatos, something like "love an Venus" or the Halo of Shalom; and the Sun of ... a great sign appeared in the heavens

• In the Greek language, Abaddon is known as Ἀπολλύων (Apollyon). It is a name that appears in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 9:11) and is often translated as "Destroyer". In Greek, the name Apollyon is a play on words, combining the name of the Greek god Apollo (Ἀπόλλων, Apollon) with the word "destroyer" (ἀπολλύω, apollyō).
• Vishnu (/ˈvɪʃnuː/ VISH-noo; Sanskrit: विष्णु, lit. 'The Pervader', IAST: Viṣṇu, pronounced [ʋɪʂɳʊ]), also known as Narayana and Hari, is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. He is the supreme being within Vaishnavism, one of the major traditions within contemporary Hinduism. Vishnu is known as The Preserver within the Trimurti, the triple deity of supreme divinity that includes Brahma and Shiva. In Vaishnavism, Vishnu is the supreme being who creates, protects, and transforms the universe. In the Shaktism tradition, the Goddess, or Adi Shakti, is described as the supreme Para Brahman, yet Vishnu is revered along with Shiva and Brahma. Tridevi is stated to be the energy and creative power (Shakti) of each, with Lakshmi being the equal complementary partner of Vishnu. He is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism.
• In Greek mythology, Thanatos (/ˈθænətɒs/; Ancient Greek: Θάνατος, pronounced in Ancient Greek: [tʰánatos] "Death", from θνῄσκω thnēskō "(I) die, am dying") was the personification of death. He was a minor figure in Greek mythology, often referred to but rarely appearing in person. His name is transliterated in Latin as Thanatus, but his counterpart in Roman mythology is Mors or Letum.^[citation needed]^Shiva (Hebrew: שִׁבְעָה‎, romanized: šīvʿā, lit. 'seven') is the week-long mourning period in Judaism for first-degree relatives. The ritual is referred to as "sitting shiva" in English. The shiva period lasts for seven days following the burial. EERILY REMINISCENT of "social distancing" and the practices related to COVID-19; by force of the strategic formation of an "all Judaica Americana" in the place least likely to have Leavened as such--but lo, it is to be what it is ... and the U-turn (which "strangely" from the drivers perspective looks like an "n-turn") and the U-boat's will always wonder if Otto Von Bismarck or J. Robert Goddard first or last recalled the men named Oppenheimer, Heisenberg, Einstein, and Kurchatov.
  • Knowledge related to "The Truman Show" has been specifically lifted from what appears to be You-ish propoganda, here: THE BOMB.

On "Anat" and Thanatos ... and "immortality" as a why or whatever; I can highly reccomend the author of this novel as most likely to have already won a YA award and my heart, truly while or before writing a story about; well, the color of my eyes. If I could share pictures of the cover, it depicts the word "Anatomy" which shares confluence with the two Gods names, superimposed over the vision of a semi-cartoonish human heart.

This passage points out an interesting quirk in legal decision-making: we often lean on what we already know, sometimes without even realizing it, to decide between legal arguments. This happens because different areas of law, like probate and contract law, often share useful similarities, especially in procedure and evidence rules. In a way, we start deciding based on these familiar patterns before we've fully worked through the issue—almost like our decisions are shaped by decisions we've already made. It reminds me of the idea of not overthinking less we second guess ourselves and eventually get it wrong.

This reminds me of how both legislatures and courts can be extremely hesitant to set down clear rules, even (in my view) when it would be in the public's best interest to do so.

In Nevada, the State Constitution bars members of the executive branch from holding seats in the Legislature. However, people have argued for decades as to whether this encompasses all public sector employees (extending to university professors and cops), or whether this just applies to high-level employees like people appointed by the governor.

Many lawsuits have been filed over this issue. Frustratingly, every time the State Supreme Court has taken on the issue, it has opted to issue narrow procedural rulings (e.g. dismissing or remanding cases on technicalities) instead of handing down a rule.

There is still a pending case before the State Supreme Court on this issue. Meanwhile, public employees serving in the Legislature are left in the dark as to whether their service is legal, which is bad for them, candidates who run against them, and their constituents.

Reminds me of James Joyce!

So far, I think the problem they are articulating is one of awareness. Unfortunately I think I have that problem. I find it pretty easy to just grab and go for what I need in research papers, and I don't know that I've had a professor who took the time to tell me if it was correct. I always felt weird about taking a portion from an unrelated section, but sometimes it just fits so well! I think now that context is so important I have been more cautious about where I am pulling from, but I know I will encounter problems if I am rushed for time.

The discussion here reminds me of why we do pre research work such as examination of our own case and brainstorming how and what we are going to research before we begin our research. As we discussed the research process gets refined as we work through it and find what words or terms will provide the most useful results to the problem we are researching. But this section illustrates why brainstorming is so important because beginning research without some form of a plan will result in a wide variety of results that could result in wasted time and resources from examining cases with no relation to the current problem. Having a plan will also allow for relevant cases to stick out more and the irrelevant ones become apparently irrelevant without wasting unnecessary time.

I really like this concept and honestly feel like it would be super useful. Reminds me of the saying "there's a silver lining to everything." I think this would be particularly useful in situations where nothing seems to be working, and ideas are at a low. This would prompt a team to seek out the best in every idea, while simultaneously realizing how much good could be found in their original idea.

Reminds me of the different seeing's of different religious figures in different indigenous cultures

Celebrities with funny music clips (before they were famous). Video of Haaland commenting on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqlSeZMRnCE

Reminds me of the Timothee Chalamet musicc video statistics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvWefB4NGGI

This statement reminds me of how easy it is to access media nowadays and how difficult it can be to know what is true or not. I hope we will talk about this when we begin to talk about the present

This reminds me that if most people are born with tails, then those without tails are considered “disabled”. This is because society's definition of “normal” is based on the majority of the population, and any trait that deviates from this standard is considered abnormal, or even inadequate. This phenomenon also illustrates the limitations of society's criteria for “disability”. Our definition of “ability” tends to be functional, but if the function is not useful in most settings, it is ignored or not even valued.

I liked reading that the research was based on their strenghts and resources because in a kid we see all the bad they do and from those small comments it stivks to the kids for a long time. It reminds me to the different reading we had 2 weeks ago based on how comments stick to the kids at a young age of the "woah you're too tall for your age" "you're suppose to be smart"etc. I know they see their strengths and as they demonstrate it and someone acknowledges it they know and feel that they can do good.

This reminds me of the I do, We do, You do process. The productive group work is an added component that resonates with me such as a small group.

This reminds me of the Columbian exchange and how with the addition of new plants and animals brought from the Old World, it also came with diseases and new definitions of unsanitary. This was about 100 years after Columbus' first expedition, so this isn't a novel idea about taking the old into the new. Even if he's not specifically talking about plants and is referring to social roots as opposed to physical materials, his statement is nonetheless true. The cultures colliding, already knowing that people inhabit the land, will be a point of contention for the British as they continue to explore America. The British would be spreading their beliefs and culture across the land while the Indigenous population would have to learn to assimilate (or vehemently oppose) to this new way of living.

This reminds me of the example that was given in class, where female politicians would wear masculine suits to appear more serious and less feminine.

This sentence reminds me of "You Can Learn to Write In General" and how it talks about how unalike different kinds of writings / writing styles can be

Uhh this reminds me of that racist stereotype that black people are violent. Yikes

Reminds me of Victor Frankenstein beginning to tell his story

Style of storytelling reminds me again of Frankenstein

very abstract imagery, very intuitively written. Reminds me of poetry I've written that made sense to me but I've scrapped because it would be gibberish to others, but it's interesting to be a reader and to try and unpack the speaker's garbled thoughts.

Were these victims also people who worked under him? The party setting also reminds me of the huge case revolving around P. Diddy at the moment.

very abstract imagery, very intuitively written. Reminds me of poetry I've written that made sense to me but I've scrapped because it would be gibberish to others, but it's interesting to be a reader and to try and unpack the speaker's garbled thoughts.

Ryan Holiday says that our society struggles with accepting that we owe things to other people...

This reminds me of Simone Weil's notion of "no rights, only responsibilities"... A right by itself has no power, only obligation has. A right is an obligation toward us fulfilled. Only other people have rights, and we have obligations.

Getting into this frame of mind allows one to live a far more righteous and fulfilled as well as calm life. Once you acknowledge that you have no rights, you can not cling to them, and thus you don't view things as unfair to you.

This can be highly problematic as the employees would basically be logged onto your accounts and can even view your posts which are on a privacy setting "only-me". This reminds me of how someone I know was mistreated by their manager and they had an issue over their wages so right before giving in her resignation letter she leaked the company's database by posting it on Twitter, which included budgeting and the balance sheet.

This bit of information reminds me of a few studies and lawsuits that have occurred in the last decade or two regarding names on job applications. The inquiries focused on the concept that someone's name being less culturally familiar to a recruiter would negatively bias an applicant's chances of getting to the interview stage. This effect was studied using identical resumes with different names associated to measure employer responses. This seems like a great example of the primacy effect making biases that are sometimes difficult to identify more obvious.

This reminds me of how we have been talking about writing to meet the status quo of the perfect paper.

reminds me of Richard Branson's story...

This reminds me of a film study called “Lisyun Qng Geografica,” where it explores the interplay of identity, memory formation, and geography, but this time highlighting how our environments shape our sense of self. Geography influences not only our experiences within a space but also the memories we form and the identities we develop. I always find it fascinating to see how context and environment contribute to who we are, much like how the brain processes and integrates our experiences.

He reminds me of myself in the fact, that Im slower to speak on things Im passionate about, but once I do im decided and set on it because I`ve pondered on it before.

I like this line because it reminds me of times where I don't see some of my friends for awhile and once we do meet up, there is always so much to talk about but we don't know where to start.

curious distinction...

(kind of reminds me an ongoing debate I had in the past about whether franchise owners could be considered entrepreneurs)

This speech reminds me of a football coach trying to rally up his team with positivity

Reminds me of how militarized violence was used against George Floyd protests. Similarly, the George Floyd murder was also heavily shown in the media and news.

This section reminds me of the time where my mother told me that the program WIC was the only resource that was putting food on the table. I remember entering the office of WIC as a kid accompanying my mom and my new born baby sister.

This reminds me of Kpop fans who buy robots to like their idols' posts in order to make their idols look more popular. Because people have a herd mentality, when people find that an idol's post has a lot of likes, they may choose to like it as well.

This reminds me of an internet celebrity I knew before. She uploaded a video about picking up elementary school students' homework in Paris, and this video caused a big sensation on the video website. But later it was discovered that her video was self-directed and self-acted. She gained huge traffic with a video, but in the end her social platform account was blocked for spreading false facts.

Reminds me of how he said that women are his sisters and lovers...

Reminds me of the question of "how separate are humans from nature, really?"

I guess that's fair, but you could tell the kid that it's a plant? I understand the idea that we don't know much more than children as we discover our ways around life/the earth, but...we probably do know the plant & its scientific classification at least, and I doubt the kid does. It could help them learn. This reminds me of that "Unschooling" trend for homeschooling kids (that's shown to be pretty harmful for learning development fyi)...

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/232544669_The_Impact_of_Schooling_on_Academic_Achievement_Evidence_From_Homeschooled_and_Traditionally_Schooled_Students

The quick pacing in this is really well done! The poem's structure reminds me of a train of increasingly frantic then calming down thoughts.

death? Decomposing in the earth? Reminds me of Wendell Berry's poems about dying and nature

reminds me of his O Pioneers O Pioneers poem

I can never tell if he is infatuated with something because it reminds him of himself or if he legitimately loves the nature/people/etc that he is relating

reminds me of Emerson's focus on speaking/living your original truth over being oppressed by consistency

This reminds me of the description of a "glass child". A glass child is the sibling of someone who has mental or medical issues, and doesn't require the most attention from parents. The three year old brother was left behind and forgotten about once Sebastian ran away, and wasn't informed of the parents leaving him by himself in the middle of the night.

jesus. This reminds me of the Nutty Putty cave incident. Someone was trapped upside down for 27 hours, and you couldn't even make out his final words since it was basically just gurgling.

This reminds me of a joke popular in WWI, where soldiers found graffiti stating "Kilroy was here" with a long-nosed bald man peeking over something. It was a simple doodle to recreate, so the graffiti spread with multiple actors contributing.

This makes me think about our discussion about what schools are here for. In this case, it would be social mobility. Also, escaping poverty reminds me of a class I took that focused on this topic. One discussion that stuck with me was the idea that most people with high SES support escaping poverty because it still maintains poverty as an unavoidable thing. In the end, there will still be impoverished people to uphold the 1 percent.

Every Spring Whitman mourns when the lilacs were blooming and the evening star (Venus), was visible in the sky at night, as it reminds him of a man he loved.

This is so good to learn about it, history have a way to repeat itself, this event reminds me about what just happen in 2020 which the crazy speculation with the crypto monodies. a lot of people were even taking a loans to invest in crypto believing they could get rich easy and lost a lot of money, Good reflection.

This reminds me of Lab 1, where I was so excited after successfully using code to post an article on Reddit. However, it also left me feeling a bit anxious when I considered the broader implications. It made me realize that so much content on the internet can be generated through code, and a single individual has the power to shape public opinion or even spark controversies with just a few lines of code. It's both empowering and a little daunting to think about how easily information can spread and influence people.

I find it interesting how complications are simplified overtime if in the 1980s and 1990s, BBS was commonly used, to me it doesn't seem very intriguing as if it looks very dry without any pictures or a comment section where everyone can fight lol, like if we can not post memes on social media what's the point. However now, social media has become so much more simple and fun. We go to social media apps such as TikTok or Instagram to take our mind off from work and if I see the picture of BBS it looks like coding, so I wouldn't really use a site that reminds me of work even in my free time.

reminds me of wedding vows

Magic river, reminds me of the magic mountain.

Weirdly enough, this reminds me of the Illiad & the Odyssey.

Reminds me of how history is recorded, and who we remember in its pages.

This reminds me of the concept of effective altruism!

Contradictory...I'm forgetting the name of it, but it reminds me of that technique to create a sense of credibility by saying something backwards. Like "He was not smart because he was kind, but he was kind because he was smart." Does that make sense?

This reminds me of anytime I hear someone describe something they have interest in. For instance, my mom really enjoys gardening but there are also times where she doesn't like to do it. That doesn't necessarily take away any of her love for that hobby. I think this helps the average person realize that Kobe isn't just a celebrity player but also a person that shares the same complex emotions as regular people.

This reminds me of the Java language I learned in CSE class. In Java, a series of characters is also called a string. But in Java, if you want to enter some specific symbols such as brackets and quotation marks in a string, you need to add "\" to make the machine recognize it smoothly.

This reminds me that computers have a similar problem when dealing with characters. This is because computers use an encoding set that can only contain a limited number of symbols and characters. Overall, computers, as powerful as they are, still have limitations in storing and processing numbers and symbols. These limitations come from the underlying hardware design and coding methods, not because the computer “doesn't want” to recognize everything, but more from technical trade-offs and design decisions.

This reminds me most of measuring value of life in systems such as trolley problems or AI car decision making. Is a doctor more worthy of being saved than a musician? Or a depressed person? Or a felon? Where do you draw the line? If you draw a line, how many "felon lives" equals one doctor life? Utilitarianism to me isn't a morality system itself but a coping mechanism to allow humans to rationalize tough decisions. But when humans put the same logic in computers, it's not a coping strategy for a computer's feelings, but just a flawed series of priorities.

This reminds me of every time I try to take a picture of my computer screen with my phone camera. The image always shows tiny red, green, and blue lights, which is probably due to a similar reason. A display is made up of many tiny pixels, and each of these pixels is composed of subpixels that emit red, green, or blue light. When you try to capture the screen, the camera picks up these individual subpixels, revealing the RGB pattern that our eyes don’t normally see. This highlights how the underlying structure of digital displays, just like the limitations of computer storage, affects what we see and how information is processed.

The speaker expresses amazement at how far they've come from slavery to freedom, acknowledging both hard work and luck. By highlighting the "considerable distance" between their current freedom and the suffering of others still enslaved, the passage reminds us of the ongoing struggle. It's thought-provoking because it contrasts personal success with the reality of those still oppressed.

Its interesting how he uses the word astonishment regarding his current position. He is acknowledging while he has achieved personal freedom his journey hasn't been without luck and willpower. He reminds his audience of the considerable distance between his experience as a free man and ongoing reality of millions of enslaved people.

consonance of the D sounds, creates a strong sonic experience, very assertive. In "dusky" the harsh "d" and "k" sound and in the word demon, the former very strong when you speak it aloud and the latter creates a strong imagery. this consonance is continued from the repetition of "death" in the previous stanza in sound as well as imagery, as "dusky demon" reminds me of the grim reaper, aka death.

It is so fascinating how humans are born to communicate and will find a way. This reminds me of the study where people grew up without learning language. I forget the logistics of this study, but I remember without learning any language, they created their own in order to communicate.

I'm digging this too...

it reminds me of the statement that genius is nothing more nor less than doing well what anyone can do badly.

I agree with this point of view, it's important to be open minded and consider what we can gain, even from arguments we disagree with. This reminds me of a class discussion we had about critical thinking in my last English class, where we talked about how every argument, no matter how flawed, can teach us something.

This reminds me much of Messi the famous soccer player. IT shows you just how much he was loved and idolized in the French Canadian culture.

Reminds me of the quote "you are who you surround yourself with"

This reminds me of the article " what kind of citizen" which discusses the different type of citizens that different teaching philosophies can create. One of them was an active citizen focused on social justice and engaging in the community.

Reviewer #3 (Public review):

The authors make use of a large dataset of reaches from several studies run in their lab to try to identify the source of direction-dependent radial reaching errors. While this has been investigated by numerous labs in the past, this is the first study where the sample is large enough to reliably characterize isometries associated with these radial reaches to identify possible sources of errors.

The sample size is impressive, but the authors should include confidence intervals and ideally, the distribution of responses across individuals along with average performance across targets. It is unclear whether the observed "averaged function" is consistently found across individuals, or if it is mainly driven by a subset of participants exhibiting large deviations for diagonal movements. Providing individual-level data or response distributions would be valuable for assessing the ubiquity of the observed bias patterns and ruling out the possibility that different subgroups are driving the peaks and troughs. It is possible that the Transformation or some other model (see below) could explain the bias function for a substantial portion of participants, while other participants may have different patterns of biases that can be attributable to alternative sources of error.

The different datasets across different experimental settings/target sets consistently show that people show fewer deviations when making cardinal-directed movements compared to movements made along the diagonal when the start position is visible. This reminds me of a phenomenon referred to as the oblique effect: people show greater accuracy for vertical and horizontal stimuli compared to diagonal ones. While the oblique effect has been shown in visual and haptic perceptual tasks (both in the horizontal and vertical planes), there is some evidence that it applies to movement direction. These systematic reach deviations in the current study thus may reflect this epiphenomenon that applies across modalities. That is, estimating the direction of a visual target from a visual start position may be less accurate, and may be more biased toward the horizontal axis, than for targets that are strictly above, below, left, or right of the visual start position. Other movement biases may stem from poorer estimation of diagonal directions and thus reflect more of a perceptual error than a motor one. This would explain why the bias function appears in both the in-lab and on-line studies although the visual targets are very different locations (different planes, different distances) since the oblique effects arise independent of plane, distance, or size of the stimuli.

When the start position is not visible like in the Vindras study, it is possible that this oblique effect is less pronounced; masked by other sources of error that dominate when looking at 2D reach endpoint made from two separate start positions, rather than only directional errors from a single start position. Or perhaps the participants in the Vindras study are too variable and too few (only 10) to detect this rather small direction-dependent bias.

A bias in estimating visual direction or visual movement vector is a more realistic and relevant source of error than the proposed visual bias model. The Visual Bias model is based on data from a study by Huttenlocher et al where participants "point" to indicate the remembered location of a small target presented on a large circle. The resulting patterns of errors could therefore be due to localizing a remembered visual target, or due to relative or allocentric cues from the clear contour of the display within which the target was presented, or even movements used to indicate the target. This may explain the observed 4-peak bias function or zig-zag pattern of "averaged" errors, although this pattern may not even exist at the individual level, especially given the small sample size. The visual bias source argument does not seem well-supported, as the data used to derive this pattern likely reflects a combination of other sources of errors or factors that may not be applicable to the current study, where the target is continuously visible and relatively large. Also, any visual bias should be explained by a coordinates centre on the eye and should vary as a function of the location of visual targets relative to the eyes. Where the visual targets are located relative to the eyes (or at least the head) is not reported.

The Proprioceptive Bias Model is supposed to reflect errors in the perceived start position. However, in the current study, there is only a single, visible start position, which is not the best design for trying to study the contribution. In fact, my paradigms also use a single, visual start position to minimize the contribution of proprioceptive biases, or at least remove one source of systematic biases. The Vindras study aimed to quantify the effect of start position by using two sets of radial targets from two different, unseen start positions on either side of the body midline. When fitting the 2D reach errors at both the group and individual levels (which showed substantial variability across individuals), the start position predicted most of the 2D errors at the individual level - and substantially more than the target direction. While the authors re-plotted the data to only illustrate angular deviations, they only showed averaged data without confidence intervals across participants. Given the huge variability across their 10 individuals and between the two target sets, it would be more appropriate to plot the performance separately for two target sets and show confidential intervals (or individual data). Likewise, even the VT model predictions should differ across the two targets set since the visual-proprioceptive matching errors from the Wang et al study that the model is based on, are larger for targets on the left side of the body.

I am also having trouble fully understanding the V-T model and its associated equations, and whether visual-proprioception matching data is a suitable proxy for estimating the visuomotor transformation. I would be interested to first see the individual distributions of errors and a response to my concerns about the Proprioceptive Bias and Visual Bias models.

This is really cool to hear about and see. It's always good to see that local and native languages are given concerted efforts in preserving and maintaining. It reminds me of my own growing up and when I went to middle school in the Marshall Islands. There are plenty and plenty of native Marshallese speakers who speak and read/write fluently, but it was really interesting and cool to see how so many of the kids in my middle school on my first day also spoke fluent English and I was actually comforted because I never really practice my Marshallese when I grew up and went to elementary school here in Oregon so it was surprising to be able to communicate with everyone on my first day. The historical context of this makes a lot of sense though with the Marshallese and US relations but I came to learn more about how English is intentionally taught to all kids in the country. I wished we learned more Marshallese formally at the school I went to, I wasn't sure how other schools learned Marshallese, but the few months where my school had us learn was super fun and helpful as it helped me develop and hone in my ability to speak and read and write the language I first learned how to speak.

I think this statement is a great way to think of and really encapsulate how these two concepts are different and it helps to push the idea of how communication is much more than just words that are spoken. I very much agree with this like with many of you, and it reminds me of how critical it is behind our intention in communicating, which we talked about today, because of how purpose and intent is vital because in my personal opinion, I would want to communicate effectively and not just let my words be meaningless, especially with communicating with my friends and family who are important to me. I'd argue that this would help in all other aspects of life too, like in workplaces and in school, so understanding and recognizing the power of communication and its difference with language can be beneficial to our overall society.
