Tibetan Monospace Design

Tibetan Monospace Design

  • Tibetan monospace font (modifying Noto Serif Tibetan)
  • Consonants are the foundation of each syllable in Tibetan
  • Consonants can form clusters/stacks vertically
  • We normalize the consonant slot width (that is the monospace unit)
  • Shad is simple, it takes up 1 slot, left aligned, and that's it
  • Tsheg is hard, it doesn't get a slot,
  • Tsheg becomes ligature/combining character essentially
  • Need to adjust each consonant glyph to accomodate tsheg as ligature

The Book of Creation (Sefir Yetzirah)

The Book of Creation

Chapter 1

In two and thirty most occult and wonderful paths of wisdom did JAH the Lord of Hosts engrave his name: God of the armies of Israel, ever-living God, merciful and gracious, sublime, dwelling on high, who inhabits eternity. He created this universe by the three heavenly beings, Number, Writing, and Speech.

Ten are the numbers, as are the emanations, and twenty-two the letters, these are the Foundation of all things. Of these letters, three are mothers, seven are double, and twelve are simple.

The ten numbers formed from nothing are the set of ten: these are seen in the fingers of the hands, five on one, five on the other, and over them is the Covenant by voice spiritual, and the rite of Circumcision, corporeal (as of Abraham).

Hyperbolic Heptagrid Tiling

The Heptagrid and the Fibonacci Tree

This document summarizes Maurice Margenstern’s approach to modeling the hyperbolic plane using the {7,3} tiling and the Fibonacci tree.

What is the Heptagrid?

  • The heptagrid is a tiling of the hyperbolic plane using regular heptagons, where three heptagons meet at each vertex.

  • It is described by the Schläfli symbol {7,3}, which means:

  • Each polygon has 7 sides.

Tracking

My appetite is taking me to my home.
I'm anxious. Be patient.
Keep tracking after patterns of the unknown.

Remember to remember.
You will forget.
So have patience.

Playing with Wan2.1 1.3B Text2Video on Mac

Playing with Wan2.1 1.3B Text2Video on Mac

This is for testing and generating video from text prompts using Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B (small model) on Mac, these instructions won't work on Windows, so you can try plugging them into ChatGPT and converting them to be windows-specific perhaps if necessary.

See recommended text2video models here, or all possible models here.

System Notes

  • Llama 405B model requires at least 2TB disk space, and probably 2TB RAM, plus 80GB VRAM to run, for text output (not even video)!

The Book of the Way

The way that can be told,
is not the eternal way.
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.

The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.
