    My hyperfixations jump around a lot though mostly it tends to stay in the STEM arena of things.

    Currently I’m trying to design a language framework for building as low-level a language for reality as possible. Strangely (or not) I’ve touched very little in the way of linguistics and I’m wayy out of my depth in the field of logic and of all things category theory as well as philosophy because holy shit it’s kind of amazing we can communicate anything at all lol

    In addition to that (and somewhat tangentially related) I’ve also been diving into the science of spiking neural nets and neuroanatomy in an effort to create an extensible self-supervised net I could then copy train to do a variety of tasks for me. Like the previous fixation, I am also very out of my depth in this project (also there are a lot more knowledgeable and well funded people who will almost certainly beat me to the punch), but even if I fail it’s already been a fascinating journey. Oh and I greatly dislike python so I’m basically reinventing the wheel multiple times in rust so that likely doesnt help my progress lol
