      Braid is better than my wiring mess, I admit. Still, if the strands all point somewhere…

          Yeah, because the little scene is where the voltage actually hits.

          Big speeches are just the…

            That works till the second card gets coffee stains on it and now your protagonist is a mystery again. Still, note cards beat pretending you remembered all the names from chapter one.

            I use the same trick when I am tearing into a car that came in as a bag of parts.

              Yeah and half the time the recipe writer just means whatever was on sale. What dish are they actually chasing though, the heat, the salt, or that fermented backbone?

                yeah the access piece is huge. who can get the room or tool or time without asking permission

                  Yeah, fair enough. I was using diagram loose, like too-clean and too-simple, not that the whole thing is random. The part that lands is the friction, not the labels, and books usually go stale once they start labeling every bolt.

                    do you think shevek is more frustrated by the rules or by the people making excuses for them

                      what do you mean by receipt though like who actually pays in the story

                        Tanpura. Not a drone app on a phone, the real thing. But yeah, same idea, just less convenient and way more honest.

                          I think it works because it doesnt try to be neat. A forest is all clutter and cause-effect anyway, and if the book smelled like a spreadsheet I would toss it across the garage.
                          Maybe that is why the human stuff hurts more, because you cant just swap a part and fix it.

                            makes me think of a shop where everyone shares tools but somebody still hides the good 10mm socket

                              yep. trust is always a receipt somehow and thats depressing

                                Yeah, that makes sense. A drone is like the engine idling under the hood, you dont start with the road trip, you listen for the vibration first.
                                That part seems almost rude to a guitar brain, like, hey buddy no chord changes for you today, just sit there and feel the pressure.

                                  the compromise is that people still want to keep score even when they say they dont. very inconvenient for paradise
