Hi! Unsure if someone's asked this before but here goes! When it comes to processing communication, would you say the macrovolutes process language "linearly" like how humans do? By "linearly" I mean step-by-step; the mention of waiting for one macrovolute to comprehend a paragraph before releasing another one into the air gives me the impression that, while pheromone-language as a medium three-dimensional, they way macrovolutes process language is very similar to humans. Is that the case here?
I actually based it on the way I read! Instead of reading one word at a time, I kind of take a snapshot of a paragraph in fragments at a time, piecing together words from all across the paragraph simultaneously. I only get a partial picture at a time, so I have to do it multiple times to get a nearly full picture. I often miss the first and last sentences, though.
Think of it like reading the word "dog" versus looking at a picture of a dog. You might need some time to register all the details in an image, but you're still not scanning through a sequence one element at a time in a specific order, i.e. going through each pixel in order from the top left like a computer.
(By the way--very appropriate username for a smell-based ask!)
Did you hear? They've found the golden mole! It still exists! It just took a break from being perceived. What a mood. Here are some other animals that totally exist, too. Just your very normal collection of animal art, really. This is one of those where you'll want to click through on the attributions below the art. For context. For transformation. For taxonomy. It's all there. The level of detail for these friendly animals that definitely exist is quite unhinged in the best way.
here’s WIP 1 of my clock town arrangement. What do you think so far? The left hand was meant as a placeholder for a while but I never really ended up replacing it. I’m still figuring out the ending, but I wanted it to end with the song of time.
The idea is that there are three variations, day one (normal), day two (soft and rainy), day three (all hell unleashed). Should I change the last variation?
ah, i’m so bad at posting here. acknowledging this Day of Mourning from the lands of Kiikaapoi, Peoria, Potawatomi, Myaamia & Ochethi Sakowin people, aka Chicago, derived from a native word for garlic (mmm…) which is really suitable for me because I live here now 🌱🧄✨
whose.land are you on? talk about it over dinner this weekend with your fam & what it means to give the #landback. considering everything, listening & learning from indigenous people is the least you can do.
