THE STAR · STR

THE STAR (STR) — a UD0 TECHNĒ sphere (the art): generative ink-art of a scale of reality. A star is a furnace held together by its own gravity — so massive that its core crushes hydrogen into helium and floods the system around it with light. Nearly all the energy that drives a planet's weather and life came from one. From the planet below, this is the source. The art draws a star alive: granulating surface, corona, and flares.

THE OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE (ALL) — a UD0 TECHNĒ sphere (the art): generative ink-art of a scale of reality. The last rung holds all the others. The observable universe is the sphere of everything whose light has had time to reach us since the beginning — about ninety billion light-years across, centred on the observer not by privilege but by geometry.

This rung is that bounded all: every galaxy, cluster, and filament, gathered into one sphere. You at the Centre geometry, not vanity Every observer sees themselves at the middle of their own observable universe, because light has had equal time to arrive from all sides.

Right: plan outline. Move a slider; the sections move. SELF-TEST — FAIL LOUD TODDLER CORNER This is just the hood of the car — like taking one piece of a toy apart to look at it really closely. The two bumps are called risers, and we made them out of math you can change with sliders: taller, wider, closer together. Watch the shiny stripe of light slide along the bumps when you spin it — smooth light means the surface is smooth. If the stripe ever stutters or jumps, the surface is lying about its shape.

Per-pixel Phong renders confirmed clean specular flow along riser flanks before shipping. Painter error on this subject measured at boot — a single open surface is painter-friendly, which is half the reason this study exists. Gouraud gradient identity re-proven live. RES dial changes only the raster backing store: if fps rises while frame-ms holds flat, compositor-side rasterization is the bottleneck — measured conviction, not vibes. LIT · 03.1 — Ram-air ducts: each riser now terminates in a sharp forward wall with a dark recessed throat, all heightfield-safe (480 duct-tagged tris, 0 NaN across the full slider range). DIFFUSE runs the discrete heat equation on the surface heights — your highway line-painter, formalized — with dome-retention measured live: verified monotone decay 100% → 97.5% (4 iter) → 87.3% (12) → 74.4% (24). Diffusion is indiscriminate: it softens the duct lips first, then eats the risers. The retention number is the price tag. Deep Forest Green joins the palette — an SN95-era factory color. LIT · 03.2 — Choppiness convicted by your own HUD: 900 grad = cap saturated, 2,700 huge gradient fills/frame = compositor overdraw (the invisible ms now shown as "gap" in the HUD). Fixes: gradient budget now selects the top-900 by measured color damage — deterministic, so the set no longer shimmers with the turntable; quad diagonals alternate (zoomed Gouraud-vs-Phong error 0.812 → 0.755/255, and the coherent creases decorrelate); slider rebuilds coalesce to once per frame. PHOTO renders one exact per-pixel Phong still at the current camera — zoom in, click, get the truth; any drag resumes live. AMBER — Factory note: reference photos of the '96–'98 SVT Cobra hood read as one broad power dome whose flanks catch light as twin ridges; your spec said two risers, so TWIN is the default and SINGLE is one click away — the sliders exist precisely because the factory surface was never measured, only eyeballed. Gradient-face seams remain possible.

Move the light, and the two arcs trade places — their sum always the whole curve. key light 52° LIT What is measured live from the drawn arc is the split : the lit fraction is computed by arc-length and swings with the light — 100% overhead, down to ~57% edge-on — recomputed every time you drag. That variation is the real, falsifiable reading. (lit + unlit = 100% is a partition identity, true by construction — every segment is lit or unlit — shown for completeness, not a check.) AMBER “unlit / unchosen” is a figure for a visibility asymmetry — one face is where the light fell, the other is where it did not; structural, not a hidden truth, and no claim that the dark arc is more real than the lit one.

THE HYPOSTASES · THE SOURCE · UD0 ◍ THE SOURCE · the substrate the corpus emanates from THE HYPOSTASES Plotinus's cascade: the One → Nous → Soul → World, each a fainter emanation of the last. Information can only be lost down the chain, never gained — what the World knows of the One is bounded by what Nous knew. The descent is one-way; this is the shape of it. ◆ LIT ▲ AMBER NOISE / STAGE ↺ I(One ; Nous) — I(One ; World) — data-processing — info lost — ◆ LIT — verified / checkable A binary One is emanated through two noisy channels in series (One→Nous→World), each a binary symmetric channel with flip probability set by the slider. The mutual information I(One;·) is estimated from live samples at each stage, and I(One;World) ≤ I(One;Nous) always holds — the data-processing inequality: post-processing (a further emanation) cannot increase information about the source. The gate confirms it every frame. ▲ AMBER — the figure The One→Nous→Soul→World hierarchy is Neoplatonic metaphysics — a figure. What is real and enforced is the information-theoretic law: a Markov chain X→Y→Z has I(X;Z) ≤ I(X;Y). The three 'hypostases' are just the stations of that chain, honestly labelled.

THE RETURN

THE SOURCE · infer the One from its outputs — the return is

THE RETURN · THE SOURCE · UD0 ◍ THE SOURCE · the substrate the corpus emanates from THE RETURN Plotinus's epistrophē : all things yearn to return to the Source. Given only what emanated — the outputs — can you climb back to the One that made them? The posterior sharpens with every observation, but never closes to a point. The return is real, and never complete. ◆ LIT ▲ AMBER ◮ WALL ◦ observe one ▷ keep observing ＋30 true θ ↺ observed 0 posterior mean 0.50 posterior std — posterior entropy — the return never complete ◆ LIT — verified / checkable The Source is a hidden coin θ; each emanation is a Bernoulli(θ) draw. Starting from a uniform prior, the posterior is the exact conjugate Beta(1+heads, 1+tails); its mean and standard deviation are computed exactly and drawn live, alongside a Gaussian approximation to its differential entropy. With more data the posterior narrows around the true θ — but its std shrinks only as ~1/√N (never to 0) and the approximate entropy trends down without ever reaching −∞: you approach the Source, you never stand on it. ▲ AMBER — the figure 'Yearning to return', 'the One that made them' — Plotinus's figure of epistrophē. The mechanism is ordinary Bayesian inference: a posterior over a parameter given observations. The 'Source' is a coin we set; the instrument recovers a number, not a soul. ◮ THE WALL — the seam it cannot cross Even perfect inference returns only a distribution, never the thing itself — and it is only as right as the model. If the outputs did not actually come from a coin, a confident narrow posterior would be confidently wrong. The return reaches the best estimate the model allows, and no further.

One number emanates an entire world, exactly and repeatably — the same seed always the same world. Change it by a single bit and a wholly different world falls out. The One determines the many, and determines them completely. ◆ LIT ▲ AMBER ◍ new seed = same seed again ⚡ flip one bit seed — world hash — determinism — avalanche (1-bit) — ◆ LIT — verified / checkable A real xorshift32 PRNG seeded by the shown integer generates the field of glyphs — the 'world'. Press same seed again and the world is byte-for-byte identical (its hash unchanged): deterministic emanation, verifiable. Press flip one bit and a single-bit change to the seed produces a world differing in most cells — the avalanche, measured live as the Hamming fraction. (For the A=10 glyph alphabet, two independent worlds disagree in ≈ 1 − 1/A ≈ 90% of cells, which the readout confirms — full sensitivity, not the ~50% you'd see over a binary alphabet.) Determinism and sensitivity, both real. ▲ AMBER — the figure 'Worlds from a seed', 'the Matrix runs from code' — the figure. The object is a pseudo-random generator: deterministic given its seed, statistically scrambled under small changes.

The Centuries ten hundreds, no key Ten 'Centuries' of a hundred quatrains each (the seventh left short) — some 942 verses in all. Undated and out of order on purpose: a book that refuses to tell you when, or in what sequence. The Veil written to outlast the Inquisition French, Latin, Provençal, anagram, classical omen — a deliberate cipher of style. Plain prophecy could burn a man in 1555; a riddle could not be pinned, and so could not be condemned. The Mirror why every age finds itself in him A text this open is a mirror: each century reads its own dread into the same dark lines. That is the genius and the trap — and the engine of five hundred years of decoding.

This catalogues the historical corpus and its mythology . Nostradamus's works (1555) are public domain ; quotation is avoided in favour of original commentary. The famous "predictions" — Hister as Hitler, Mabus , the "three antichrists," the 1999 King of Terror — are later interpretations retrofitted onto cryptic verse , offered here as lore and reception , not as verified prophecy. (The 1999 verse, for the record, passed without its foretold event.) The quatrains are a mirror; what you see in them is mostly you.
