Structure Under Constraint Life, Mind, and Value in a Non-Resetting Universe

Unified theory, maybe? Of life, consciousness, and morality?

@adamfrank4.bsky.social - your article in the Atlantic a while back kicked me off ruminating about physics and "gooey chemistry" of biology. I've written a few essays circling it since then, but here's where it landed.

Might be a little too heavy. I'm most certainly wrong about this, but here's where I've landed.

Morality is neither divinely inspired nor completely subjective.

A little context about the real guy who designed the space where my fictional characters, Trevor and Ellen, went for a walk.

NOT FAIR THAT IT’S NOT FAIR Short backstory from the fictional world of Immune Exaptation.

NOT FAIR THAT IT’S NOT FAIR
I'm crafting short stories and vignettes within the world of my work-in-progress novel (optimistically thinking trilogy). They'll give me a chance to build the world, maybe improve my writing, and maybe enteratain a few readers. Here is one. The tragedy of Sara Blockett.

Why is so much writing on Substack about writing *on Substack*?

I rewatched “Arrival" for the first time in a decade.

I had forgotten how emotionally and intellectually engaging it is.

Floored.

Have you watched it? Or read “Story of your Life” by @tedchiang.bsky.social ?

If so, what did you think?

I think A.I. shouldn't touch the words.

The words are the book.

The rest, to me, is marketing - most of the time already derivative and exploitative in countless ways.

Am I missing something here?
