Draw a distinction in a medium made of the same stuff as your mark
If you miss, can you tell?
The distinction creates two states; the unique prime field over two states is 𝔽₂.
Odd primes means the beats die
Extensions require more than one bit
Neither can exist
The minimal perfect code over 𝔽₂ is Hamming(7,4)
Thus unique geometry of a boundary where signal and noise are the same thing is PG(2, 𝔽₂)
Everything else is ...

How do you remain coherent in a distributed system?
Mainly graffiti n stuff
Tag where you've been with what you've been doing. Till the next guy comes along and decoheres it with her own tag

Ops guys, you ever had an ELK pipeline backup because a Kibana write just wasn't going through. Back pressure from the stalled commits pushes back into the K8s sidecars running the log queue pods
You start holding scaling events because you can't drop logsWhole cluster grinds to a halt?

BOFH's are only grumpy because God denied Hell the very idea of denial based routing, right after he denied the Universe the ability for anything else

Where Gleason requires interlocking constraints from three or more orthogonal directions at a single depth, this proof generates an infinite tower of consistency conditions across depths.

Jesus: So Franz, you remember what we talked about?
Kafka: Bureaucracy is a bitch
Jesus: Me dude, get over it. Nothing we can do that, the other thing
Kafka: Right, append only logs, everything is a projection
Jesus: And?
Kafka: I'm still working on the updated org chart. This HR stuff is a real nightmare, I'll try to have it by the end of next week👹Ops or 👼Ops

If physics frameworks were data stores:
Copenhagen :: sqlite3 - in memory / pre-ACID compliance
Many-worlds :: fork the db on write, no GC
Decoherence :: DynamoDBThe actual universe :: unfortunately it's BitCoin but at least the real thing does something useful unlike all the cryptobros and their pretend money
===
Maybe all y'all physics folk should talk to an Ops guy once in a while so you stop writing software that just can't possibly run

--- yoneda, in a whimsical riff on the idea that testing the exchange boundary between composing layers of your architecture is sufficient if the surface area of the boundary has been sufficiently constrained through grammar as the test surface and exchange surface are isomorphic in a well tested system and that was his idea all along===
Procedural TDD is like writing instructions for a machine you haven't built to verify the behaviour for something you haven't defined. The output is going to look like the process. I have no idea what annoyed RSpec looks like in real life, but I expect he develops in Rails.
Verify the shapes. The increase geometrically with the surface area so it encourages good system design.

A queue holds potential
Potential burns through a boundary
The burning writes the tapeIt's not bits, it's maybes so you have a good chance of getting to go, not for sure, your moms need to talk or summin'. When they do, they'll probably find out that neither of you slept over last weekend, so maybe likely means no
That's entropy
That's computation
That's you trying to sleep over at Stacy's next weekend but really there's a party at Brad's or summin'
They're hard problems, they all areChurch and Turing saw Calculus and the tape
The queue is the potential, the calculus of what could be
The tape is the record of what was, the constraints for what can be nextTwo systems, what burns and what's left
Just like the stars, and how we describe them
The hard problems aren't hard if you look at them right. If momentum and position are conjugate terms, why wouldn't the math that we use to describe them take on a similar form?
