oh my god there is an æsthetic/philosophical/technical commonality between my interests in General MIDI and in fixed-function 3D rendering pipelines. help. i am too good at a certain kind of meta-thinking

‪wait that's a pretty obvious overlap sdggjfkfl ‬

it does mean though that if i come up with some sort of Justification for why this is The Correct Way i could kind of effortlessly transfer it though, which is probably not a good thing lmao

‪i think what i'm saying is i like ways of creating art that ground you, where the technology itself constrains what you do in certain fundamental ways, allowing you to fully express yourself in others without suffering choice paralysis‬

‪another way to put this is that everything i put out would make no sense whatsoever if unconstrained. it would be purely psychedelic‬

okay i'll log off for a bit oops

‪WITHOUT THE IMPOSITION OF CONSTRAINTS CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY NO MEANING CAN BE COMMUNICATED‬

@saagar no :)

@hikari now THIS is Posting (positive) :D

@scarlet :3

@hikari the imposition of the initial set of constraints is identical to an individual consciousness' becoming (out of an infinite space of undifferentiated thought)

but the emergence of these constraints causally precedes the emergence of the 1stPersonPerspective (assuming linear time anyway) and this is pretty much how the entire reality is hallucinated

without constraints no meaning can *exist*; also without them no meaning is *necessary* (still refusing to wrap my head around that one)

@hikari famously, the infinite library contains no information for this reason!

@estelle precisely! i came to essentially the same thought through a different lens: i don't like the algorithmic relating of all content by proximity, because this is ultimately destructive of contextual meaning
