“The Three Identities — Technology, Geography, and Mathematics”
If there were a biography about you, what would the title be? Overview The biography about me would be titled the name of the title of this post, representing the Three Identities I own and create—novaTopFlex, geoTopFlex, and futoTopFlex. Apart from the Three Identities as an abstract, I have also incorporated elements from the Three Identities located elsewhere, such as the technology industry, geography topics, and the remaining pillars of cultural interest—mathematics, science, fine […] -
Hype for the Future 103D → Returning to novaTopFlex

Hype for the Future 42A: More about BosWash
The Northeast Megalopolis is largely determined by Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington. However, additional smaller cities also play a role in the BosWash corridor, sometimes suburban, sometimes satellite cities, other times by way of being independent in their own right. Occasionally included are northern and southern extensions of the Northeast Megalopolis to cover Portsmouth, Portland, and Bangor to the north; and Richmond and Hampton Roads to the south. Regardless of […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/12/12/hype-for-the-future-42a-more-about-boswash/

Hype for the Future 18D: Why Columbus over Cincinnati?
Fear of judgment at numerous social events is often multifaceted, dependent on the event, event type, event duration, event location, and additional factors. Within Columbus, however, is an environment that dispels the fear of judgment through the citywide promotion of modern--even postmodern--values and cultural ethics. Therefore, novaTopFlex shall focus on and prioritize Columbus-area opportunities and prize such opportunities above Cincinnati-area opportunities, particularly as Columbus is […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/11/18/hype-for-the-future-18d-why-columbus-over-cincinnati/

Hype for the Future 7A: Mathematics Edition
The hyperbolic functions of the sine and of the cosine are identified as follows:
sinh(x)=(e^x-e^(-x))/2
cosh(x)=(e^x+e^(-x))/2
The remaining hyperbolic trigonometric functions can be constructed with the hyperbolic versions of the appropriate functions. While tan(x)=sin(x)/cos(x), tanh(x)=sinh(x)/cosh(x) and can be constructed as (e^x-e^(-x))/(e^x+e^(-x)).

The “Giant Chair Squad” Post: Insights
The novaTopFlex-associated “Giant Chair Squad” post can actually provide insights as to where individuals and communities are more likely to accept and/or reject different portions of the Three Identities. As referred to by Colin Woodard, the cultural differences between regions in the United States reflect the true nature of the societal norms and differences between particular expectations. For instance, Yankeedom, with a focus on religious utopia building, will most certainly accept […]https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/11/06/the-giant-chair-squad-post-insights/

The Three Thousand Location Limit
novaTopFlex has attempted to create a comprehensive list of all interests of the identity and community alike. However, since there is an absolute maximum of three thousand locations to a single list unit, novaTopFlex and the associated alternate identities of novaTopFlex must continue on with a secondary list for the next three thousand places of interest. So far, novaTopFlex has identified locales in chiefly Northern and Yankee states to be of particular interest in the novaTop system.https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/10/14/the-three-thousand-location-limit/

Locations of Interest, Continued
novaTopFlex continues to seek interests in New England, New York, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest as well. The current focus is centered around northern Wisconsin; however, novaTop is open to suggestions of interests in neighboring Michigan and Minnesota as well. The surrounding area is often associated with Scandinavian and broader Nordic culture, and while Finland is not Scandinavian, the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan is the cultural center of Finnish America.https://novatopflex.wordpress.com/2025/10/09/locations-of-interest-continued/

Permacomputing and Solarpunk Meetup for September 29, 2025
What novaTopFlex Learned from the Philadelphia Community At the beginning of every Permacomputing and Solarpunk meetup, the individuals of the community are asked for their respective pronouns. For instance, I am Andrew Kay (novaTopFlex), and I am he/him/his. A few of the individuals, myself included, are not from Philadelphia, and that is actually another question from the Permacomputing call over on Jitsi. I am not directly affiliated with either of these software services and/or concepts […] -
The Identity
The novaTop Identity has just become official! Significant influences to the identity are prevalent from Rossmann, Stallman, and, of course, even from the Voldemort of Tech! When you access my YouTube channels, there may occasionally be a dichotomy between formal and informal influences, so if you are looking for more professional content, please check the video content longer than five minutes in real time or videos where the video stream has been slowed down. Or for slightly more informal […]
