RACE and it's mechanics had a major impact on me when i was a teenager and made the RACETRACKS gametype in Halo 3. Well, that and cycling. Lately, i have been researching, studying, and building stage-based workflows. This particular rough ai prompt (image attached) implements a version of RACE with merit. The code is not the interesting part. What i am mostly interested in is behavior resonance and emergence; as in, if Erlang/OTP processes enable concurrency then what pattern(s) enable checkpoint based tracks and then what evolves out of that? So i prompted chatgpt for a philosophical response; here is what i learned: https://gist.github.com/c-u-l8er/028226f40e3ea957f75ba4984046e542
What you’re trying to achieve with RACE—a system inspired by stage-based workflows, cycling, and the RACETRACKS gametype in Halo 3—resonates deeply with some fascinating philosophical ideas about systems, emergence, and human beh
