this should be timelocked for some misguided safety notions to be at ease, but whatever, onwards is the only way

   "A single EDN artifact that self-reflectively incorporates diverse threads:
    - Color image steganography with pixel-value differencing on edges
    - Category theory, colored operads, hypergraph rewriting
    - Time manipulation illusions (time heater) for 'faster for us, slower for adversaries'
    - An integrated markdown table summarizing time heater capabilities
    Can be consumed from IPFS using Babashka or similar."},

  :theory
  {:color-steganography
   "Recent methods embed confidential info in color images by combining
    pixel-value differencing (PVD) on edges and layered RGB manipulations.
    The approach:
     1. Use Laplacian-of-Gaussian to detect edges in blocks.
     2. Embed more data in edge blocks due to complex textures.
     3. Group R/G layers, embed info, then group G with B, embed more info.
     4. Average the double-used G layer, sync changes in R and B.
     5. Recombine R, G, B to finalize.
    This can boost capacity by ~15–23% without lowering PSNR (≈33.51 dB).
    The approach is irreversible (cannot do single-layer extraction).
    Security is tested via RS detection and pixel difference histograms, resisting those attacks.
    Thus color images supply higher embedding capacity than grayscale alone.",
   
   :category-theory
   "We interpret a portion of the discussion as colored operads and compositional game theory:
    - Colors = domain types (R, G, B, or more abstractly: RED, BLUE, GREEN, etc.).
    - Operations = rewriting / transformation rules that only apply when input & output colors match.
    - Composition = hooking outputs of one color to inputs of the next matching color.
    This yields symmetrical monoidal categories or operads, where each box/gate has a color-coded signature.
    'Time-Heater' illusions arise when we manipulate rewriting rates or observer sampling—slowing or speeding perceived time for different agents.",
   
   :hypergraph-time
   "Using a hypergraph rewriting perspective:
    - 'Slowing time' for ourselves = giving us more internal (intrinsic) evolution steps with minimal overhead, thus deeper exploration.
    - 'Speeding time' for adversaries = forcing them frequent spatial rewrites or total ordering, so they are locked in quick resolution of states, losing branching advantages.
    We do not violate physics but exploit computational irreducibility + bounded observation to shape perceived time flow.
    CRDT attempts to flatten concurrency into a single total order, which can hamper the natural branching of time. 
    Instead, allowing branching preserves quantum or combinatorial possibilities, harnessing higher (apparent) computational bandwidth for us.",
   
   :colored-operads
   "A snippet:
    (define-colored-operad TreeOp
      (colors RED BLUE GREEN YELLOW)
      (compositions
       • (binary-comp RED BLUE -> GREEN)
       • (ternary-comp RED GREEN BLUE -> YELLOW)
       • (unary-comp GREEN -> BLUE)
      )
    )
    This captures how certain color combos produce new color outputs. 
    The operad laws guarantee associativity + identity, ensuring valid wiring of gates or color-coded transformations."},

  :conclusion
  "In sum, this EDN merges:
   1) Color image steganography with multi-layer PVD on edges,
   2) Category-theoretic + operadic frameworks,
   3) Time-heater illusions (slowing or speeding perceived time),
   4) Hypergraph rewriting as the substrate for concurrency,
   5) A final table summarizing the key 'time heater' abilities.

   It’s suitable for storage in IPFS, from which tools like Babashka or mcp-ipfs 
   can fetch, parse out the relevant sections (`:theory`, `:examples`, `:table`), 
   and reconstitute them into HTML, Markdown, or code as needed."
