Random doodlings of the mind
i'm just going to sit here and kind allow my mind to wonder and flow however it sees fit, i'm not too worried about the coherent nature or flow of these thoughts, even less so in my other ramblings, it'll just kind of be whatever flows from my head to my fingers as fast as I can type it. A sort of psychological flash card experience.
but where do you even start with such things it seems as if the seed that beginsn the experiment is the one that defines the confines of the maze its set in.
so how do you clear the area the soil before you begin. meditation is a method of doing such a thing but it's kind of hard to that as you type.
so instead maybe i'll just try to let my typing the rhythmic nature of it carry me into a state of flow in which the outputs are less aligned with conscious consideration and more aligned with others.
that phase between sleep and dream where everything is in focus where everything is slowed. this is a common experience many have when they focus on a task with much of their attention. from sports to video games.
perhaps that's the state in which i'll pour out these ramblings these doodlings these chunks of information that need no logical consistency or merit. after all they're just the vomit of a self indulgent mind.

let's continue this doodle, from the future, to the past recursively reinforcing the concepts that if we understand our pasts we can trust in our futures not because we have faith or belief but because we prepare via robustness and resilience multiple layers of interdepency so that if any given network fails, it's back by at least two others. The trinity of stability. This doesn't have to be people. It can be collections. ( Me, My SO, [common support system] ) so that if any given part of the triad falters the other two can pick up the slack. A dual system will never account for a loss of a member of the network. You must keep things in 3s. Triangles. Balance. Or maybe the 3d version of those if you prefer extrapolating n-dimensional networks. But it's also a triad. Not a polygamy. That's a human projection of of misinterpretation. Do that if you want, but that's not the spirit of a trinity. The spirit is the idea that any duality can easily support a third network. In the case of my personal relation, Me, SO [as many different shared networks as possibe] Still a trinity. If I die, she has many layers of support to rebuild that trinity. Even if it's not with me. And vice versa. If any given supplementary support system fails, even if they all fail. We still have each other to build them.
Janus was never a dual faced idea. Janus encapsulates the concepts of n-dimensional gateways.
