Rose-Bridges Code

Hi, I’m Rose-Bridges. I’m interested in the relationships between nervous systems, social emotions, subcultures, cocreations (physical + digital), and economics. I make animist postactivist art projects. Previous: TRU LUV, #SelfCare (Apple Best of 2018 Selection), Assassin’s Creed, Company of Heroes

1. I primed myself for vivid, deeply symbolic dreams. 2. I fed my dreams into an AI for analysis and developmental insights over and over, to prime the AI. 3. I fed the AI my engine framework. 4. The AI can write barks that are transformational and sourced in style from my dreams.

I’ve just processed 1526 emotions into a 15-dimensional space. Each dimension is mapped to aesthetic/mechanical parameters and theoretically I can induce a flow state from any emotion to any other. Just saying.

Experimentation > skepticism

Say yes and then see

We don’t wait for our plants to grow before we water them. They don’t have to earn the water through their growth.

Any activity to do with care or loving expression, including care for home, self or abstract concepts. Organizing a bookshelf according to your own rules, making a playlist, rearranging furniture, tidying the house, gardening, tending to a small stock portfolio, hugging yourself, taking a warm bath…

What Flow Theory misses (tragically, when you look at how it’s been applied in UX), is that flow doesn’t require increasing challenge. You can use adrenaline and cortisol to induce flow but you can also use oxytocin—very different experiences and cascading impacts.

I’ve hand-authored a sample dataset of 800 sentiments and how they interrelate along six dimensions, including one of adult development. The other dimensions are related to oxytocin. This can be used in front of any LLM to classify content and curate flows as a proof of concept. It feels nice.

Curation algorithm that curates in a flow built with adult developmental psychology in mind. It can show the same content but the order of content induces wisdom and wide perspective instead of jarring contrasts that induce destabilization and fight responses.

Each time ChatGPT gets started on image generation I think of Nara Smith.

“As a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, wrote to a New York Times reporter. (New York Times)

srsly

Girl math is just optimizing for more than one type of capital.

I have just processed 694 human emotional states

Dominoes.first one reads "a woman makes a browser game about depression" and the last one reads "the fall of the American Empire"

“I don’t think they’re going to be able to misuse it,” she said to me. “Not many people sit around contemplating, for example, seven aspects of beauty—nor would they know how to.”

How we all regularly see psychologists but not sociologists

Like, people will both be empowered to and want to create from a place of deep purpose and super satisfying motivation in ways that use their natural strengths and talents and delight others.

Yes to all of this! Elinor Ostrom is another great reference. We can share resources without selfishly draining them.

And, I think as more work is automated and as more people go to therapy, we’re naturally creating the macroconditions for cocreative rather than competitive organization.

At first I was annoyed at the lake for not being an ocean; then it taught me to appreciate placidity. I am placid af.

My friend here from Russia has just said, “As I say, those who do not take the risk do not drink champagne”.

In short: oxytocin + cyclical adult psychological development + awareness of all forms of capital beyond money to the point that extrinsic capital feels silly compared to intrinsic + cocreation and distribution.

Resource sharing, toolsets for weaving of shared purpose into emergent cocreation, toolsets for psychosociospiritual unfurling of the self in community in world, toolsets for moving well beyond money into appreciation and sharing of real-world value creation and regeneration.
