One late night, I created a fable about the nature of reality. I had a symbol - an abstraction - that had been haunting me while I was researching various things. I had to get it out of my system somehow - to *do something* with it. With this symbol, I could use it as a basis to explain a large number of phenomenon in the Universe, among humans, how things interact, that, in some way would likely be able to incorporate this symbol as a critical part of the story, as a visualization - an illustration in two dimensions that represents many, many more. So pleased was I with stitchlock, I put it on a [1]44-years-ago-todaydomain (called stitchlock) with 5 pages, hyperbole in the front, the single symbol in the middle and a short conclusion at the end that I held onto for a year and is now gone. I backdated the fable to have begun on the day I was born and here it sits on Facebook. So, here it is: a fun bit of nonsense that actually holds significance to me and great explanatory power. Abstract minded people will 'get it', more literally minded people might not. But not bad for a few minutes of work. === Stitchlock: by Kenneth Udut. After a year of sleepless nights and a lifetime of study, with the extreme assistance of the wisdom of all of human history - billions of lifetimes, knowledge build upon knowledge built upon knowledge, I finally have my book. It explains, well, everything. Why do people hate you? What is love? What is relativity? How was the Universe made? Why do bad things happen to good people? How can I make my dreams a reality? Can I time travel? Are dreams real? How does light work? Why does a song get stuck in my head? How can I better pay attention? Why won't my kids behave? Do fish dream when they sleep? How can I crack the code to decipher all of the worlds security systems and bring the world to its knees - muhahahaha? Does my mommy and daddy really love me? How can I make friends? How can I get better at baseball? What can I do about bullying? What happens after we die? Is information ever lost in a black hole? (ok, its not, we already know that one). Why is there hate in the world? What's the most efficient way to manage my family / business / government? How can I achieve all of my dreams? Who is right? What should I make for dinner?
