I love this: a DSL that makes clocks out of birds and math. Really, this is a glorious little project.

The thing I bounced off isn't the high-concept art, or the abstract math. It’s the combination of the two without enough bridge between them. You have to infer too much about how the poetic layer, the mathematical notation, and the actual machinery relate.

You can do mind-expansion by induction in a math journal. This is not that venue. And this project is too good to waste by letting people walk away confused.

I’d love a very plain “one clock, end to end” walkthrough: primitives, composition, graph, rendered result.

A lot of people would rather keep their diaries private.

Montaigne wouldn't have been Montaigne if he was writing for other people.

Large markets are very smart.

Smart is not necessarily nice. Without nice, incremental returns to smart may be negative. Furthermore, the terminal goal of a market is to give some group exactly what it wants. Such groups are often large, and their wants are defined by how their members act -- usually when others are not looking. A market does not care what anyone says they want.

It's a wonder the damn things aren't banned.
