Tried to get excited about phi,
but I just couldn't manage it.

What constant does Phi represent, I thought it was a function in stats.
Is there any reason you like 3, is it its proximity to pi and e? And what level of relations would you have with it?

Phi is the golden mean. Shows up in a lot of places,
natural and man made. Makes a lot of geeks hard.


3 has just always been there for me.
My imaginary friends where all abstract
shapes, and the triangle was the best.
Fits in well with my ideas of relationships,
as well as with many other mystical concepts.

Not sure that I could have carnal relations
with a number, but I do love it.

Oh yeah the golden ratio, hopefully ill get onto that at some point...
I never knew you had imaginary friends calandale, do you see yourself as having a wild imagination?

[Calandale]

I never knew you had imaginary friends calandale, do you see yourself as having a wild imagination?

No. Just perceptions which are at odds with
those most people hold.

Its called having an open mind and not being attached to the NT's and their artifical social rules and pleasentrys...

When buildings move?
And then back again?

I don't know, but they were
kinda saying it was psychosis.

But, 'tis more often a goal than
reality. I don't want random shit,
I want to control it.

Oh the psychosis, you have spent longer in that society than me, so that should particually explain. As for buildings moving, you sure you are not dazed at all, or is a neuropsychological problem you have always had?

[Calandale]

Something I call shifts.
The whole world seems
to be in a strange state.
In this case, a building was
not where it belonged, for
about a month. It returned,
during another one.

Other things have changed too.
Money, for example. But I remember
how it USED to be.

Funny thing is, the shifts happen
pretty often, but I don't always see
the effects. What I do notice is that
OTHER people seem really dazed during
them too. They just never seem to remember
things changing.

[Calandale]

Let me amend that - MOST don't.

Hmm, im not sure I get you Calandale. Are you saying that your imagining things that are there changing or something.

[Calandale]

That's my skeptical way of looking at it.
But, it doesn't really matter, since
I believe in subjectivity, to an extreme.

Im surprised that you took CS then if you are subjective like that...

I liked programming since I was fairly young.
It's not like there aren't fuzzy areas of CS, and
that's kinda where I tend. Places where it's not
necessarily clear just WHAT is going on.

Oh right I assume you studied the theoretical side rather than the applied side of CS then, or at least largely that way. That explains how you get quirks like that...
