Cheap & you can minimize risks by working through multiple proxies all submerged & widely distributed inside & outside a system. This is about revealing the relationship of a systems structure to its energy dynamics. How are they regulated, amplified, limited or balanced. Amplify tunnelling powers.

Covert entry and fingerprintless surprise attacks is what the first stage basically amounts to and this is recon. by fire. Testing reflexes & resilience with byproducts of confusion, the adoption of awkward posture, disorientation & instability. What is the optimal threshold of activity & hostility?

Shock testing, anonymous pranks... The only way to understand an intelligence is to interact with it. The real variables are what you must map. Not just static leverage points but vectors, dynamics, timescale, human factors, interactions between patterns of behaviours, feedback, amplifiers, triggers

There is always a chance you will stumble onto an undiagnosed problem or spot an unforseen problem coming down the road but its not necessary. What comes after penetration? Escalating your privileges & expanding your influence. Before all that you really do have to know and have a feel of the system

Do you understand the relationship between the goal & problems of a system in terms of both cause & effect & in terms of how the system concerns itself with balancing the need to achieve its goals with solving problems? The demands of reading a system come before strategically altering its behaviour

Foresight that integrates complexity to shepherd sustainable growth isn't actually omniscience. Its not something that can be rushed. It is bound to a family of behaviours. Can you think about a system and its problems better than said system can self-reflect? Can you scale this knowledge up & down?

Every action within a system can impact its behaviour somehow. Obviously a robust internationally distributed system with clear aims is going to require serious amounts of leverage to hijack its steering. If you could generate the raw strength you would probably just apply it from outside the system

You need to be able to accurately read the patterns & dynamics of system behaviour, the relationship between problems both temporary & persistent & the systems structure, the logic that underlies its design & operation & the 2nd & 3rd order effects of action. You need to be able to manage the system

You need more information about the system & its environment than any one else but one thing you don't actually have to fuck with is occupying directly nodes in the vertical power structure within the system. This you can fingerprintlessly bypass. Flowing into the system by its own tides is enough.

You can approach manipulating or controlling a system scientifically & you do need scientific & technical knowledge to do this but sinking sneaking mission style into a complex system & getting to know its structure & its behaviour intimately really becomes an art at the human level of cognition.

Penetration isn't the problem. It's more to do with the complexity of the endeavour that cost-benefit reveals. I also have to ask myself questions like do I really need these tools or do I just like the possibility of experimentation they offer? Does the DIY approach learning curves benefit me more?

It bothers me in the back of my mind that I could still technically arrange to have access to said tools. I really did have an amazing setup. Hi-tech security apparatus that separates the system which the tools are imbedded from the rest of the world is geared towards klepto-proofing infrastructure.

I once had some much better tools. I have been able to improvise some pretty awsome shit out of scavenged parts but its not as convenient. I could (and will) build better tools but I'm lazy and and resilient to the point that I can just plow through the extra work primitive toolkits demand. Still...

So I been farming mathematical constructs of the kinds used for scientific analysis like statistical and meta
theoretical frameworks so that I can milk the epistemic-ontic
bridges. The raw juice then gets processed, it like has a bunch of cool stuff happen to it but its an energy intensive process.

My new runway is working out well. One of my favourite feelings: Crossing miles & miles of countryside on foot & then as I approach a city or large town I stop & survey from a distance. Especially as the time of day is changing. Dawn, everyone waking up. Evening twilight as the lights come on.

These technologies can also be transported over vast distances with ease. Understand why certain musical forms developed & were conserved for thousands & thousands of years & why these have survived unchanged despite being superficially disguised by genuinely novel electrophonics & modern marketing.

This has been an option since at least the upper paleolithic. People have had a long time to develop this suite of skills & it is quite simple to incorporate them as a package into your way of life. The material lends itself well as a medium for carrying distinct signatures & complex messages, etc.

Musical practice, philosophical work & the cultivation of trance-like states are a non-negotiable skill set for navigating a certain type of engineer access maintenance corridor. I put a lock on the door that doubles for a "protective equipment must be worn" sign. It is a basic precautionary measure

You have the option to decrease your reservoir of bad traits & increase your capacity for good if that is what you value. Yes, stuff breaks for no reason but it's up to you whether or not you care about a high quality world. All without having to experience a totally chaotic & structureless universe

It seems to me that if this loving deity exists he would be suffering much more profoundly than any human. We would be a constant source of stress. Responsible beings can learn about the context of pain in this world. I'm grateful suffering isn't really the basline state of young healthy organisms

Against the return to nothingness, the fight against painful instability, I turned my will & dream into the catalyst for somethingness. The process involved counting systems & symmetries to hold onto forms of existence. Now the baseline isn't suffering but metabolism, adaptation, play & imagination.

Your body does not know exactly where it is. It is assuming that one of the primeval templates it carries is an accurate guide to motivating you to get along in life. Environmental mismatch means you have to be smarter than your own drives. You also have to sympathize with & placate primal concerns.

Reality is basically a drainage system & I have to work constantly to maintain various filters. Each iteration of the universe is a step closer to the ultimate dream of the paradise unit free from sin traps. I don't just oversee; I get my hands dirty. My workshop realm is certainly not a throne room

It isn't really right to call it a reset. It is a process where the material of the universe is shifted into a total state (think of it like cosmic freezing, melting or evaporation) & then shifts back into natural stable states. The actual matter in reality doesn't drastically change during all this

I can't just experimently develop a batch of universes & to use a metaphor, raise them each on a different diet to just see how they turn out. I've always used cycles of refinement & correction but I don't gamble with my creations. Each iteration of the universe can get a soft reset about four times

Converting these sandbags into bags of time. I'm going to use them to protect myself from & perhaps manipulate various substances as I, in the most delicate possible way, adjust their mutual affinities. Interactive flexibility allowing for more efficiency via adaptive structuring, distribution, etc.

There are certain formulations of time & space that humans cannot process without suffering temporary brain damage & extreme physical exhaustion. You've probably noticed your experience of time passing & metabolism are interlinked. I'm overclocking my system in order to perform advanced computations

Time & space needs time & space. I set off a sequence of different conceptions of time & space to arise in very specific order via access to various environmental & eventually technological motifs. I did this to make clearer the relations between humans, the universe & various substrates of reality.

Omniscience involves a level of focus that is actually very mentally taxing. As someone who has to focus nearly all available brain energies on tasks that milk the capacity close to the maximum I'm fine with just not knowing everything. I do not doubt my plans & abilities or need social stabilisers.
