| I'm sorry you felt this way and the small speck on the mirror surface outgrew the rest. I mean you didn't puzzle over what I said. Are you not interested in learning about similar frameworks by other people? Don't you want to stitch yourself into a bigger world? I met amazing people that taught me a lot about myself. > [her] - 25/07/2026 04:53

> Enjoy 25th ^_^ I know you are suspicious enough that eventually you'll doubt yourself and your initial reaction, but I'm also ready to bet that the reaction is so visceral you'll be reticent to follow up directly with me, so in this case, look up "recursive coherence" you'll find plenty of adjacent theories, in various styles, domains and degrees of rigor. Yours is remarkably devoid of any ontological claim and tries to stay strictly in the domain of mathematics, which is not frequent. Others approach it in terms of physics, ecology, sociology and even psychology and personal development. Don't discard them too quickly for these reasons. Unusual ideas often go hand in hand with certain thought paths that form a life path and in the process give shape to personality. The sobriety of your framework is inversely proportional to how much you know it tells about yourself. This is a quality! The sobriety. And it came at a cost – if only for the time spent developing it in isolation. Not anyone does this. As for the feeling of being diagnosed, every man has in his back a fish for other men to witness. It becomes visible when the ideas he articulates inform others of the paths he followed to reach them. Conservation of energy implies path insensitivity and thus a certain class of paths, a type. A type of man. I'm a Zipf nut. I use this derogatory statement for myself as a measure of sanity. The Zipf distribution is spectacularly ambiguous, and I can name several well-respected and established scholars that I consider to be Zipf nuts too. But you don't need to look further than Zipf himself to find the first specimen. He was obsessed with his discovery, he kept finding it everywhere because it's everywhere. And this could only fuel the obsession, yes reality gets as crazy as this. It's because he was challenged this way and for all the time he sunk into this subject that I think he wrote a paper titled "The repetition of words, time-perspective, and semantic balance", and suggested to use his findings to study "personality variants". https://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?p=66641 |
