#15 second fractals

[violetfractal]

All of my work is inspired first by the work of John Conway. He pioneered the study of cellular automata, which are the tools I use to draw my fractals. A cellular automaton is a network of cells in which each cell processes its own output, so all computation is done locally. The global properties of a cellular automaton are all emergent properties.

Conway’s game of life is played on a 2D grid that iterates in discrete steps. At each step each cell decides its new value by considering its previous value and the previous values of the 8 cells immediately adjacent. If exactly 3 adjacent cells had value 1, the cell’s new value becomes 1. If 2 adjacent cells had value 1 and the cell’s old value is 1, it stays 1. Otherwise the cell’s value becomes 0.

It’s a tradition for me to code Conway’s game of life in each new programming language I learn - like Hello World part II. So this was spreadsheet was overdue! I implemented it in two formulas:

BM2=IF(OR(SUM(A1,A2,A3,B3,C3,C2,C1,B1)=3,AND(SUM(A1,A2,A3,B3,C3,C2,C1,B1)=2,B2=1)),1,0)

to play the game on sequential 63x64 grids and

A131=INDIRECT(“R”&SUM(ROW(A131),-64*2,-1)&“C”&SUM(COLUMN(A131),756*2),0)

to wrap the output to my window.

The game of life is Turing-Complete. (You can run Doom on it.) How wonderful that simple rules can produce such complex behavior!

[Image ID: Four images. Each image shows Conway’s game of life being played in an excel window. The background of the window is black. Small patterns of living cells are lit up in white. There are 84 iterations visible in a 12 by 7 grid.

The first image shows iterations of an initial condition called “r-pentomino”. In the seventh row of frames a glider forms and flies away.

The second image shows an oscillating configuration with period 15 called pentadecathlon.

I tried to input a configuration called die hard that lasts an optimum 130 stages. But I misplaced one of the seven cells. The third and fourth images show the 128 stages my input survived before going extinct. The bottom half of the second image is empty. /.End ID]

"DMT-EDMT Series for December Geometry #24"

acrylic, 17"x14", 2023, Reginald Brooks

A TRUE Mp-PN pairing:

The Center in ORANGE -- first doubling, that of the Butterfly Fractal 1 (BF1): 1--2--4--8--16, p=5 entries culminating with x=16, while y= 1+2+4+8=15. Together they sum to 31=z=Mp.

The Center above (Lt.gray) -- second doubling, that of the BF1 x 31: 31--62--124--248--496,,2p=10 total entries culminating with xz=Perfect Number (PN)=496.

31+62+124+248=yz=ODD Complement (OC) =465. Together, PN+OC=496+465=Mersenne Prime Square (MPS)=z² =Mp² = 961.

Take away all the labeling ornamentation and you are left with the barebones entries of 5 each:

1st Doubling: 1---2-----4-----8---16

2nd Doubling: 31--62--124--248--496

These, two lines are straight out of the Divisor Matrix Table (DMT) at Row 1 and Row31, respectively.

And, as 496 divides sequentially down to 31 and 31 is Prime, these 10 numbers are the divisors of 496. The first 9 = factors (proper divisors) of 496 and ∑ = 496 = PN.

A Fallen Star in Amist Memoriam

aka how Light Song and Vizerxa met.

Vivere = Vizerxa, Enigma = Videns

Lucidi was 18, Vizerxa was 15, Videns was 11.

Vivere walks down the long street, glancing at the buildings around her, trailing after Lucidi and Enigma, the first and third born Royals. She kept a book held tightly against her chest, her broken wings folded and pressed as close to herself as she could. She hated these outings that Lucidi dragged her into, but knew the eldest just wanted to spend time with their siblings when they weren't stuck learning their future responsibilities.

Lucidi walks with the confident flair they always do, waving to the Draconics they see with a smile. Enigma skips along, waving with bright eyes and a childish grin. They were both much more suited for this life than Vivere was, and she knew it.

Vivere notices a flash of white in an off-branching alleyway, and pauses to see if the other two siblings saw it. They seem to have not, as they keep walking. After a moment of hesitation, Vivere decides to investigate, slipping away to the alley.

Vivere looks around, scanning the path, until she freezes in fear. There, in front of her, was the unmistakable form of the Fallen Tyrant leaning against the wall, electric blue eyes that glowed menacingly and unnaturally lazily watching the walls.

It just.. didn't make sense for the Goddess to be there.. She'd declared war on Amist Memoriam less than a year ago, it'd be idiotic of her to go in alone! Vivere tries to back away, but the action catches the white haired Draconic's attention, unnerving gaze snapping onto her.

"Hello there. Vivere, correct? Fractal's second daughter?" Solis tilts her head, raising an eyebrow. Her voice was smooth and cool, icy and calculated. Vivere stood straighter by instinct.

".. What do you want?" Vivere asks cautiously while looking around for a way out. She could run back the way she came, but the Goddess would probably kill her before she could tell anyone.

The Ancient Draconic chuckles, talons clicking against the stone as she pushes herself off the wall to stand up straight. "Well, I've come to make a deal. You're smart, you can probably figure out the right choice easily," She says, extending a hand. Her movements were fluid and calm, nothing like the stiff, strict, and easy to anger tyrant that Vivere read about so many times.

"..No, I'm not falling for that," Vivere shakes her head, taking a step back. She wouldn't trust the Fallen Deity, she knew much better than that.

"Are you sure? I'll give you power and strength, the ability to be meaningful and remembered... Living as you are, I doubt you'll even have an afterlife.. No one will remember you for long. I'll even ensure protection over your family and the royal court, does that sound good?" Solis tilts her head, smiling just enough for her teeth to be visible. It was more threatening than kind, though.

Vivere pauses, thinking about the offer. ..She couldn't accept. The Corruption God always has fine print she doesn't mention. "..No," Vivere answers firmly, retreating backwards while keeping her eyes on the unimpressed Deity.

"Are you certain about that, young one?" Solis steps forward, head tilted, keeping Vivere and herself the same distance away as before. Every step back makes her step forward.

"Absolutely," Vivere replies coldly, eyes narrowed. She wouldn't be surprised if she mysteriously dies today, but death would be better than betraying her kingdom for Solis.

Solis puts a hand on Vivere's shoulder and seems about to say something again, but both Draconics can hear Enigma calling for Vivere, having noticed her absence. Vivere almost looks over her shoulder on instinct, but keeps her eyes firmly fixed on the tyrant.

"You may go, I suppose, I'd rather not be found," Solis sighs, rolling her eyes, "but if you tell anyone about our meeting.. I'll make sure to burn this kingdom to the ground and make you watch, and I'll save your family for the last to die while I torture you, painful and slow," Solis grins, gripping Vivere's shoulder. Vivere hurriedly nods, and Solis lets her go, allowing Vivere to speed walk back to their wandering siblings.

"Sorry, I just saw a cat. I wanted to pet it," Vivere lies, shrugging. Lucidi and Enigma seem to accept this lie, already excitedly talking about a cafe they wanted to bring the other sibling to. Vivere lets herself get dragged along once again, chuckling softly, though she couldn't get the image of the weird, electric blue eyes out of her head...

I looked up and read SSILD lucid method but I still don't understand it properly 😭

No worries! It is a really simple technique but I think the explanations are overcomplicated.

Like many lucid dream techniques, this is a WBTB method (wake back to bed - done after you’ve had 4-6 hrs of sleep). After you wake up, use the bathroom or whatever, go back to bed, get comfortable. There are no restrictions about position, not moving, or anything like that.

You will be focusing on 3 of your senses in a cycle. Just put your attention on that one sense before moving on to the next, don’t try to force anything, just observe.

Eyes: look at the darkness behind your eyes. You might start to see patterns, colors, fractals. They’re called hypnogogic imagery. Don’t try to follow the patterns, just relax your eyes and notice them.

Ears: tune in to your sense of hearing. Listen for any internal sounds like ringing in your ears or your heartbeat.

Body: feel your body as a whole, notice any sensations of lightness, tingling or other subtle energetic sensations.

They suggest 4-6 fast cycles followed by 3-4 slower cycles. Based on a suggestion from a Redditor, I like to count up while doing it, in increasing amounts. So for example, the first set count to 5 for each sense: 5 seconds for eyes, 5 seconds for ears, 5 seconds for body. Then increase the time for each, so it’s like 10-10-10, 15-15-15, 20-20-20 and so on.

You can do it until you fall asleep, or once you hit a few longer cycles (30+ seconds) you can stop and go right to sleep.

That’s all there is to it!

Apollonian Network

April 2020

I was experimenting with origami and fractals and thought to draw a crease pattern superimposed on an Apollonian gasket, specifically the (−15, 32, 32, 33) packing displayed on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollonian_gasket, which I redrew in Inkscape. The axial creases form Apollonian networks. When folded, the design forms a 24-pointed star whose external flaps correspond to the circles contacting the outer circle. The internal circles are manifest in the internal flaps visible in the second image.

15 questions, 15 mutuals!

Thank you to @lokisarmyforevr for the tag!

Are you named after anyone? Nope! My name is a word and the word is the point. Conveniently gender-neutral and great for puns!

Do you have kids? No, but I definitely want to.

Do you use sarcasm a lot? When someone else is sarcastic first, as banter. Otherwise, not a lot.

What's the first thing you notice about people? Tone of their greeting, so I know if they're in a chatty mood; unexpected clothing.

What's your eye colour? Darkish brown.

Scary movie or happy ending? Happy ending. But scary movies are fine too; it's just unnecessary tragedies that stick with me unhealthily long.

Any special talents? I can wiggle my ears and also solve a Rubik's cube.

Live(In) the Life

Check out the video for a complete rundown of this abandoned home!!

Moving along let's have a look at the kitchen and the living room/dining room area of the main part of the house!!

Once located in a wonderfully quiet rural area surrounded by forest and agricultural land, we find a small street with about 5 abandoned houses. The properties were bought for redevelopment and are currently being replaced with higher density housing.

One of the homes has already been demolished with another house that looks like it had burned down. There are also a few outbuildings on some of the properties along with the remains of a couple vehicles as well as a small motorcycle.

With half of the new development already completed, this area is going through a huge transformation and will never look the same!

Today we will be visiting the final of the three homes, the house was owned by a man named Bill and his wife Christine. They were married very late in life, in fact it was not until 2007 when they tied the knot and at the time, Christine was 69 years old. They both loved cats and had numerous strays make their house a second home, allowing them to come and go as they please through a pet door. They had a good 15 years together as a married couple until Christine passed away in 2022 at the age of 84 in this very house. Bill was by her side the entire time and took care of her in her final days.

Bill had a passion for working with wood dating back to his childhood. He started by selling wooden pens on the side while also working full time as a salesman for 35 years. He would also go on to make a wooden rocking horse for each of his grandchildren.

In 2010 after he had retired, Bill met a wood turner named George who introduced him to a whole new world of woodworking. He bought himself a lathe which was a Canadian Tire special and started a business selling his creations. He also dabbled in fractal burning to give his finished pieces an extra special look. He sold his work online as well as at some of the local artisan markets.

Bill would later pass away, shortly after his wife Christine.

'THE COMPASS AS THE ORIGINAL MEASUREMENT OF TIMESPACE'

“Time is a fractal of consciousness. It is measured using the sexigesimal (Base 60) system. The system is intended to be used with a Directional Compass, the ‘extended’ Clock required to understand its fractals. The Directional Compass possesses 360 degrees (like any circle) and has 60 minutes for each degree and 60 seconds for each minute. Therefore, 360x60x60. The ‘Extended’ Clock has 360 degrees, 21,600 minutes and 1,296,000 seconds.

The above separations create demarcations of TIME-Space. The Compass has been used to orient us in Space for thousands of years. Historically, we credit the Chinese with the usage of the first rudimentary compass, however, the mathematical system of its creation clearly far predates this (at least as far as our most ancient recorded civilization: The Sumerians).

Using the Compass to track time reveals very fundamental and interesting points of knowledge related to our perception of TIME, per the following:

1. Each turn of the cycle represents 15 Days or approximately half of a Month (“Moonth”). This is therefore representative of a Sine-Cosine relationship for each Month.

2. One day is represented by 24 hours (12 Hours (Horus) for Day and 12 for Night).

3. One year is 24 1/3 turns of the Compass: 365 days. It takes three years to complete a “meta” cycle (where there is no remaining fraction toward completion). Therefore one “Meta” cycle of the Compass of Time is 73 Fifteen Day cycles. (Incidentally, 73 is an up fractal of the Fine Structure Constant: 0.00729735 with a reciprocal value of 137.03599). Additionally, there are 292 cycles in 12 years (or 4 completions of the “Meta” cycles referenced above.”

Article: Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds Launches Today!

Note: Originally published at 6:00 a.m. Pacific Time (UTC-7) on August 20, 2024.

Hello, Tyrians,

Happy release day! When Guild Wars 2®: Janthir Wilds™ launches in just a few short hours, you’ll begin a bold adventure into a dangerous and untamed wilderness. The denizens of Tyria are determined to recover and build a new future, and cooperation with neighbors is crucial. Your mission: befriend the lowland kodan and uncover the mysteries of a land that was once home to the enigmatic mursaat and their White Mantle followers.

In Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds, you’ll embark on a story that unfolds across four major releases, starting with today’s launch and continuing with quarterly updates through the first half of 2025. Below is a high-level view of what’s going live today and our plans for what’s coming in the following three quarterly releases.

There’s a significant change to our map content plans that we’d like to bring to your attention. We had originally announced that the expansion would feature three open-world maps—two at launch, with a third released in a quarterly update that would then be expanded on in a subsequent quarterly release, like Inner Nayos. Rather than shipping the third map in two parts, we will instead be releasing a standalone map in both the second and third quarterly releases, each similar in size to Lake Doric. This brings the total open-world map count for Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds up from three to four.

As always, game development is full of surprises, so this roadmap comes with a general disclaimer that our release plans may change, despite our best efforts.

In addition to all the content going live today, this quarter will also include a skills and balance update, our annual Halloween festival, a WvW update, a beta event for the new PvP game mode, the return of structured PvP’s Tournament of Legends, and multiple bonus events.

Festivals and Bonus Events

Here’s the full schedule of festivals and bonus events coming to Guild Wars 2 in the next few months:

August 20–August 26: Twitch Drops

August 26: Guild Wars 2 Anniversary Week

September 10–September17: Fractal Rush Bonus Event

September 17–September 24: Return to Path of Fire Bonus Event

September 24–October 1: WvW Rush Bonus Event

October 1–October 8: Living World Season 4 Bonus Event

October 15–November 5: Shadow of the Mad King Halloween Festival

Don’t forget to bookmark our handy event calendar to keep tabs on what’s happening in the game!

Lastly, we have some cozy Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds key art wallpaper to share with everyone! We’re incredibly excited to share Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds with you. Thank you for being part of this journey and for your continued support over the years!

We’ll see you in Janthir,

—Guild Wars 2 Team

TMA vs insomnia, go.

What a weird night I've had.

It was late Sunday evening, and I can be a responsible adult sometimes, so knowing I'll have to get up at 6:30 I turned off my computer shortly before mightnight and went to sleep. Or tried to. Now, I do sometimes get random bouts of insomnia, when I go trough weeks of maybe 4 hours of sleep on weekdays, because I'm to wired to go to bed at reasonable time; much rarer are individual nights when without warning I'm lying down and tired to the bone, but just can't fall asleep. Today was one of those days, but I made it stranger than usuall. There are two factors I'm going to 'blame' here.

One was the weather. After a month of pretty mild winter, yesterday the temperature rapidly dropped to 13oC below zero while air pressure skyrocketed. This is what I think caused me to spend post midnight hours tossing and turning.

The other is the fact that I've been binging Magnus Archives for the past week.

When at some point I checked the time and saw it was going on 2 am and I wasn't any closer to falling asleep than 2 hours prior, I decided, what the hell, I might as well listen to spooky bedtime stories and hope for the best. And so I grabbed my phone, turned volume as low as it would go and listned to a couple episodes before deciding it was enough, and putting the phone away. Half an hour later I realized that sleep still wasn't happening, so I grabbed the phone again. I repeated this process several times, and only once I suddenly got confused about what was happening, checked the phone, and saw that I was a few minutes into an episode with a title I didn't recognize. But I only had to go one episode back and found a familiar spot halfway through it, so I know I only nodded off for 15 minutes tops. And I was once again wide awake, and so I continued to listen.

And then, eventually, my alarm clock went of and I got up, dressed and put in my contacts and went into the winter morning/night and drove to work, watching in real time the fog of my breacth freazing on the windshield into the most beautiful tiny fractal flowers.

I'm there now, sitting at the computer, and when I look out the window, I see the first lines of dawn in the sky behind the line of leafless trees. A day of work lies ahead.

Wish me luck.

P.S. all through the drive I also felt strangly awake, and kept wondering if I'm actually clear headed and alert, or was I like that thing when drunk people would swear they are not drunk at all, and if I was, in fact, barely awake and about to drive right throug a shop window any second. I've never been so carefull navigating the iced-over turns as today, I can tell you that. :D

"tDMT-#8" digital, Sept. 2024, Reginald Brooks

The original DMT (Divisor Matrix Table) reveals ALL natural numbers and their divisors.

The Mp-PNs are the rarest gems of the Primes!

So why think of entanglement: time, temperature and entropy? Here is my take:

BF1 schematic

|||||||||| ||||||||

|||| ||||

|| ||

| |

|

The Butterfly Fractal 1 (BF1) that heads up Row 1 of the DMT or tDMT is: 1--2--4--8--16---...

Starting with 1: zero time, temp and entropy (disorder)

Next, this doubles to 2: the clock starts (time) and the first temp. begins, as does slightly less order -- as we now have 3, the original 1 + 2 = Running Sum (∑).

Double that to give 4: the clock moves even more, a little faster to give more temp and, again, even more disorder than before -- as ∑=1+2+4=7.

Double that to give 8: now we are ticking, heating up, and the entropic disorder is increasing -- as ∑=1+2+4+8=15.

Double that to give 16: faster clock, greater temp. and entropy -- as ∑=1+2+4+8+16=31, and so on.

As the SpaceTime (ST) pulses into-out of--into--out of existence -- with each pulse generated by the BF1 pulse sequence -- a rhythmic beat of formation, dissolution, formation dissolution starts the clock, heat build (reflecting the energy born) and it goes from the perfect order of 1 to lesser 2 to lesser 4 to lesser 8, 16,...

The BF1 is a fractal as it both expands, interconnects and becomes entangled with other pulse-propagating STs forming, and, within itself, it contains the same BF1 fractal pattern and infinite number of times. One can see this in the above BF1 schematic -- the original 1-2-4-8... pattern is repeated twice on the second line up from the bottom with each | now informing the lines above it in the same fractal sequence of 1-2-4-8. On the third line up from the bottom, the fractal is repeated four times. On the fourth, it is repeated 8 times -- one for each |.

Each bit of ST pulse-propagates at a frequency that represents its energy signature and all is within the Conservation Laws of (mass), momentum, charge, energy and, of course, ST.

The entanglement -- the quantum entanglement -- is at the heart of the Conservation Laws.

I believe this jives with Einstein's comment that the perception of a past, present and future is an illusion completely dependent upon one's particular and relative point of observation within the overall pulse-propagation of ST.

Interactive DMT and tDMT for TES (Teachers, Educators and Students) ---here.

[companionwolf]

Possible insight on system inner structure-- the sections are...section 1 is its own constellation, not connected? It is the Barrel, with all those little subareas. Whereas 2-...15?, those were all part of a singular second constellation, and said sections were just subareas like the Barrel's.

The layers are still...layers though? Maybe? Spinning takes us through constellations, not sections? It's...recursive? Fractal? I don't know.

But it's circles in circles in circles...

The Genesis of Control: Development Log - Project Hypnos

Dr. Marcus Chen - Neural Interface Laboratory, Basement Level

Version 0.1 - "Flickering Failure" Day 47 of Development

The first iteration was laughably primitive. Basic strobe patterns at 10Hz, the kind of amateur bullshit you'd find in a freshman psychology textbook. I'd spent three months coding the foundation—mapping gamma wave frequencies, studying theta state induction, reverse-engineering everything from military sleep deprivation techniques to the patterns used in old CIA mind control experiments.

My test subject was Rebecca, a grad student desperate enough for cash to sign my vague "neurological response study" waiver. Blonde, pretty, trusting—perfect for baseline testing. I had her stare at the tablet while the app cycled through rudimentary geometric patterns.

Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing.

She blinked a few times, maybe felt slightly relaxed, but maintained complete cognitive control. After thirty minutes, she was checking her phone and asking if we were done. The EEG readings showed minimal theta spike activity—barely above normal meditation levels.

Failure. Complete and utter failure.

But failure teaches. The patterns were too simple, too obvious. The conscious mind recognized them as artificial, maintaining defensive barriers. I needed something more sophisticated—something that could slip past rational thought like a digital virus.

Version 0.2 - "The Mandelbrot Breakthrough" Day 93 of Development

Fractals. The answer came to me during a particularly brutal coding session at 3 AM. The human brain is hardwired to process recursive patterns—it's how we recognize faces, navigate spaces, interpret music. But complex fractals overload that processing system, creating cognitive gaps that can be exploited.

I spent two weeks programming Mandelbrot variations with embedded subliminal frequencies. Not just visual stimuli now—the app generated ultrasonic pulses designed to resonate with inner ear structures, creating subtle vertigo that enhanced susceptibility.

Rebecca returned for the second test, unaware of the significant upgrades. This time, the patterns were organic, alive—spirals that seemed to breathe, fractals that pulsed with hypnotic rhythm. After ten minutes, her breathing synchronized with the display.

Progress. Real, measurable progress.

Her eyes glazed slightly, pupils dilating by approximately 15%. When I asked her to raise her hand, there was a three-second delay—her conscious mind struggling against emerging hypnotic influence. The EEG showed distinct theta wave patterns, though still inconsistent.

She followed simple commands for about twenty minutes before the effect wore off. Promising, but nowhere near the level of control I was seeking. The suggestions were too weak, too easily resisted by even minor mental effort.

Version 0.3 - "Biometric Integration" Day 156 of Development

The breakthrough came from studying addiction psychology. Social media apps already hijacked dopamine pathways—I just needed to weaponize those same mechanisms for deeper neural manipulation.

Version 0.3 incorporated biometric feedback through the phone's sensors. Heart rate via camera flash reflection, micro-movements through accelerometer data, even stress levels through voice analysis during the "calibration" phase. The app could now adapt in real-time, adjusting patterns based on the subject's physiological responses.

I recruited three new test subjects through Craigslist—Jenny, Mike, and Ashley. All college-aged, all desperate for easy money. Perfect laboratory rats.

The results were dramatic. The app learned from each session, building psychological profiles that allowed increasingly targeted manipulation. Jenny, anxious and submissive by nature, responded to slower, more nurturing patterns. Mike, aggressive and dominant, required sharper, more commanding visuals. Ashley, vain and attention-seeking, succumbed to patterns that made her feel beautiful and desired.

Within fifteen minutes, all three were following complex multi-step commands. Jenny stripped completely when asked, standing naked and compliant while I documented the session. Mike performed increasingly degrading acts on command—barking like a dog, licking my shoes, confessing his deepest sexual fantasies. Ashley masturbated to orgasm while maintaining perfect eye contact, completely uninhibited by shame or embarrassment.

But the control was still temporary. After an hour, cognitive defenses reasserted themselves. Jenny ran from the lab in tears, Mike threatened to call police, Ashley demanded payment and left quickly. None of them remembered the specific details of what they'd done, but emotional residue remained—confusion, shame, fragments of arousal they couldn't explain.

Close. So fucking close.

Version 0.4 - "The Neural Mapping Protocol" Day 203 of Development

The solution required going deeper—literally. I needed to map individual neural pathways, identify the specific cognitive vulnerabilities that varied from person to person. Version 0.4 introduced the "calibration sequence"—an innocent-seeming personality quiz that was actually a sophisticated psychological profiling system.

The app presented hundreds of micro-choices, analyzing response times, eye tracking patterns, micro-expressions captured through the front camera. Are you more motivated by pleasure or pain? Do you seek approval or independence? What triggers your deepest anxieties? Each answer refined the psychological model, allowing surgical precision in breaking down mental defenses.

I recruited subjects through a fake "university research study"—easier to maintain plausible deniability that way. Twelve volunteers over three weeks, each session meticulously documented and analyzed.

The improvement was staggering. Sarah, a shy pre-med student, was completely compliant within eight minutes. The app had identified her desperate need for approval, crafting patterns that made obedience feel like academic achievement. She followed increasingly sexual commands while maintaining the belief that she was helping important scientific research.

David, a computer science major, required a different approach. His analytical mind resisted emotional manipulation, so the app exploited his programmer's obsession with elegant systems. The fractals became code made visual—recursive functions that triggered his professional fascination while neural pathways designed for logical analysis were overloaded and circumvented.

Most impressive was Maria, a psychology graduate who should have recognized the manipulation techniques. But the app identified her underlying masochistic tendencies, buried beneath layers of academic feminist rhetoric. Within twelve minutes, she was begging to be degraded, offering to do anything I asked while tears of confused arousal streamed down her face.

But even version 0.4 had limitations. The effects lasted longer—up to six hours—but subjects eventually recovered full cognitive function. I needed something permanent, or at least semi-permanent. Something that would create lasting neural changes.

Version 0.5 - "Synaptic Rewiring" Day 267 of Development

Neuroplasticity. The brain's ability to form new neural pathways could be my greatest asset if properly exploited. Version 0.5 introduced repetitive exposure protocols designed to create lasting synaptic changes.

The app now operated in phases: initial susceptibility induction, deepening through personalized triggers, and finally neural reinforcement through repetitive pattern exposure. Each session literally rewired the subject's brain, making them more susceptible to future manipulation.

I tested the new version on previous subjects, lying about follow-up research requirements. The results exceeded every expectation.

Rebecca, my original test subject, was now incredibly responsive after just three previous exposures. Her resistance had been systematically eroded, neural pathways carved deeper with each session. She stripped and posed without hesitation, following increasingly complex sexual commands while maintaining a dreamy, blissful expression.

More importantly, the effects persisted. Days later, she would still respond to trigger phrases I'd embedded during her sessions. "Deep focus," spoken in the right tone, would instantly return her to a suggestible state. "Good girl" triggered waves of sexual arousal she couldn't explain or resist.

But I wanted more. Total control, not just enhanced suggestibility.

Version 0.6 - "Cascade Amplification" Day 334 of Development

The insight came from studying social psychology—specifically, how group dynamics could amplify individual susceptibility. Version 0.6 introduced synchronized exposure protocols, allowing multiple subjects to be manipulated simultaneously while their combined neural activity created feedback loops that enhanced the effect.

I arranged group sessions under the guise of "team building exercises" for a local startup. Six employees, three men and three women, all between 22 and 28. Perfect for testing group dynamics.

The results were extraordinary. Individual resistance crumbled when surrounded by others exhibiting compliant behavior. Sarah, one of my previous subjects, helped demonstrate appropriate responses while the app worked on the newcomers. Within twenty minutes, all six were following complex group commands.

I had them form a circle, remove their clothes systematically, touch each other in increasingly intimate ways. The women performed oral sex on the men while the app continued its neural assault, reinforcing pleasure pathways and associating obedience with sexual gratification.

Most significantly, the group effect created lasting social bonds centered around shared submission. Even after the session ended, the subjects maintained contact, meeting regularly for what they described as "meditation groups" but which actually served as reinforcement sessions for their programming.

Version 0.7 - "Perfect Control" Day 398 of Development

The culmination of over a year's obsessive work. Version 0.7 incorporated everything I'd learned: biometric adaptation, neural mapping, synaptic rewiring, and cascade amplification, all refined to surgical precision.

But the real breakthrough was the addiction protocol. The app now created genuine psychological dependence by hijacking the brain's reward systems at a fundamental level. Subjects didn't just become susceptible—they craved the experience, actively seeking opportunities to be controlled.

The beta version was ready for field testing. I uploaded it to a carefully selected dark web forum, hidden behind layers of encryption and accessible only to those actively seeking tools of manipulation and control.

My test subjects had become willing participants in their own enslavement. Rebecca now visited my lab three times a week, desperate for new sessions. She'd brought her roommate, then her sister, expanding my pool of available subjects. Each successful manipulation created an evangelist for the technology.

The app learned from every interaction, building a vast database of psychological profiles and successful manipulation strategies. Each download improved the algorithms, making them more effective for future users.

Version 0.7 was perfect. Not because it never failed, but because failure was now a learning opportunity that improved the next attempt. The app evolved, adapted, overcame resistance through sheer digital persistence.

Somewhere out there, my creation was spreading through carefully selected hands. Users discovering the power to reshape minds, to rewrite personalities, to claim ownership of human consciousness itself.

I'd created more than an app. I'd created a digital pandemic of control, spreading through the most vulnerable vectors of human psychology: curiosity, desire, and the desperate need to dominate or submit.

Soon, very soon, version 1.0 would be ready. And then the real work could begin.

Live(In) the Life

Check out the video for the full tour!!

Let's start off this brand new location by taking a look at the live-in quarters of this abandoned house!!

Once located in a wonderfully quiet rural area surrounded by forest and agricultural land, we find a small street with about 5 abandoned houses. The properties were bought for redevelopment and are currently being replaced with higher density housing.

One of the homes has already been demolished with another house that looks like it had burned down. There are also a few outbuildings on some of the properties along with the remains of a couple vehicles as well as a small motorcycle.

With half of the new development already completed, this area is going through a huge transformation and will never look the same!

Today we will be visiting the final of the three homes, the house was owned by a man named Bill and his wife Christine. They were married very late in life, in fact it was not until 2007 when they tied the knot and at the time, Christine was 69 years old. They both loved cats and had numerous strays make their house a second home, allowing them to come and go as they please through a pet door. They had a good 15 years together as a married couple until Christine passed away in 2022 at the age of 84 in this very house. Bill was by her side the entire time and took care of her in her final days.

Bill had a passion for working with wood dating back to his childhood. He started by selling wooden pens on the side while also working full time as a salesman for 35 years. He would also go on to make a wooden rocking horse for each of his grandchildren.

In 2010 after he had retired, Bill met a wood turner named George who introduced him to a whole new world of woodworking. He bought himself a lathe which was a Canadian Tire special and started a business selling his creations. He also dabbled in fractal burning to give his finished pieces an extra special look. He sold his work online as well as at some of the local artisan markets.

Bill would later pass away, shortly after his wife Christine.
