#001 The problem with most “wellness” systems?

They’re aesthetic without memory. Fragrant without root.

Tree Line changes that.

We’re prototyping environments that let people map trauma to terrain, to walk their way into resilience. We think of ritual not as religion—but as user interface. The body as biometric browser. The footpath as therapy record. The signage as sacred text.

Zone markers like Somatic Sentinel, Kaivalya, and Forest Flow aren’t branding—they’re invitations.

To step into a new kind of care.

To reframe involuntary holds like 5150 as a moment of gentle redirection—into rhythm, into story, into embodied self-trust.

Imagine your next crisis beginning not with a siren, but a guide.

Not with a form, but a trail. Not with sedation, but sensation.

We’re building that now.

Fuelcut is the field note.

The work is real.

is the concept of Cubic Monsters connected to the Aigami's idea of dimensional superiority?

I don't remember how it came up but one of my coworkers said "yeah, we can tell there's something off with you" in terms of neurodivergence

Do Animals Think?

Logical intelligence!

Logical intelligence is the ability to use logic, analysis, and sometimes mathematics, to solve some kind of problem. This type of intelligence comes naturally to humans, and is the area in which our brains are best adapted.From an evolutionary perspective, logical intelligence helps a species to overcome obstacles. They might develop a tool that lets them access a food source, or invent a weapon which keeps them safe from predators.For a long time, tool-use was thought to be an exclusively human trait, but in the last few decades, it has been observed in a number of species. None of them can match the logical intelligence of humans, but these animals are capable of problem-solving, and some of them even use math.

Do Animals Think?

Emotional intelligence!

A useful definition of emotional intelligence was proposed in the 1990s: “the ability to monitor one’s own and others’ feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions.”This form of intelligence evolves in species that live in tight-knit social groups, where individuals who know how to read each other are more likely to survive and thrive. Humans are a good example of this, but they are far from alone.Magpies seem to hold funerals. Rats can make each other laugh. And there is mounting evidence that the brains of orcas are capable of emotions more rich and complex than anything a human could produce.

Spatial intelligence!

Spatial intelligence is the ability to think in three dimensions, and to visualize objects from different angles. This type of intelligence is essential for navigation, as well as recognizing shapes and patterns.This form of intelligence evolves in species that travel long distances, or negotiate difficult terrain. In terms of spatial intelligence, human brains are unable to compete with thousands of species around the world.Animals with high levels of spatial intelligence include birds and insects, which can fly at high speeds and migrate around the globe. Some animal brains can process infrared, and read magnetic fields. This allows them to navigate physical space in a way that humans cannot match.

Linguistic intelligence!

Linguistic intelligence is the ability to use and understand language. This type of intelligence involves speech comprehension and speech generation, which are slightly different skills.Like emotional intelligence, linguistic intelligence evolves in social species which benefit from sharing information. They might warn one another that a predator is coming, or describe the location of a source of food.

Humans excel at linguistic intelligence, but we are not the only species capable of language. Primates communicate using physical gestures, birds have a range of different songs, and whales speak using complex clicks called coda. Even insects are capable of language: some bees communicate by performing an expressive dance.

Memory

Memory is a type of intelligence which a number of species excel at. Memory can be divided into two categories: working memory and long-term memory.Working memory is the temporary storage of information. It lets us hold a few thoughts in our head for a moment, like the numbers in a sum, while we mentally find an answer. This ability is relatively rare in animals, but it has been observed in some primates and birds.

Long-term memory is when information is stored in the brain for extended periods of time. This is where animals come into their own, like the birds which remember the location of hundreds of food caches.

Do Animals Think?

Consciousness

The hardest aspect of intelligence to define, and measure, is the idea of consciousness. In 2004, a group of neuroscientists wrote: “Consciousness has not yet become a scientific term that can be defined.”In general terms, consciousness is usually seen as a state of self-awareness. Not just to think, but to know that we think. Not just to exist, but to know we exist. In evolutionary terms, it helps us to understand our place in society, and to know our own strengths and weaknesses.In animals, self-awareness is generally measured using an experiment known as the mirror test. If an animal recognizes its own reflection, it is considered self-aware. A handful of species have passed the mirror test, which suggests that consciousness is not unique to human brains.

Does animal intelligence matter?

An increased awareness of animal intelligence has major implications. If a species is capable of rich emotions and self-awareness, is it ethical to farm that animal species, or to keep it in a zoo?

In 2009, animal behaviorist Temple Grandin released a book called Animals Make Us Human. This book encouraged people to consider the emotional needs of animals, and make sure they never get bored, miserable or stressed.A better understanding of animal intelligence also changes our perception of ourselves. For thousands of years, we thought we were alone in our intelligence. If other species are capable of thought, does that change what it means to be human.

Toddler - Puzzles

Look at the focus! Puzzles are a fantastic material for enhancing toddlers' fine motor skills, as they manipulate the puzzle pieces, and improving hand-eye coordination and dexterity. Puzzles also promote cognitive development by encouraging problem-solving and critical thinking. As children work to fit the pieces together, they develop spatial awareness and memory skills. Additionally, puzzles can foster a sense of accomplishment and boost self-esteem as children successfully complete them.

It’s always “phones are ruining our brains” and never “the virus known for post-viral cognitive decline, which causes short term memory loss, brain fog, and decreased spatial reasoning, that we let run rampant through our communities for years is ruining our brains”

call me regulation-loving Eurotrash but this shit should be fucking illegal

you are driving a thousand kilogram death machine. you need your eyes on the fucking road at all times because lives are at stake. literally, overcomplicated radio displays are known to distract drivers and reduce awareness, and then there’s this bullshit?

you need the absolute minimum information possible. speed, fuel, rpm, engine warnings. not fucking, calendar, weather and world clock.

sttg the longer i look at this image the worse it gets. that’s the NEWS app on the touchscreen there? you want people to look down and read the paper while driving? and literally not one of the widgets on the top screen needs to be there, read your calendar and the weather and the air quality index before you leave the house godsabove. even that map is overcomplicated, no you do not need 3D renders of every building in front of you that you can SEE with your EYES. fuck it you don’t even need a mega-complicated media display, prepare your bloody playlists and podcasts before you hit the road and you can switch between them like an iPod shuffle. and get rid of Chainsmokers - Riptide ffs.

hi hi! i know this is a weird question, but do you have a preference on how you like organizing books? :3c

currently i have no way to "organize" just because of lack of space and i still haven't unpacked the 5 boxes i originally moved into the new place with... HOWEVER, if i had the chance, i would organize by the following:

1st: research stuff vs fun stuff then: - research stuff: group topics together, alphabetize each group by title - fun stuff: separate the kinds of books (manga vs light novels vs normal fiction), arrange by topics/genres again, alphabetize by title or organize by favorites

the ones i know i will reach for more often will be given a more priority space, however i might interpret that (easier to get to/take out of the space; more visible; etc)

hope this helps!

i dont enjoy the aesthetics of my own figure drawing practices and usually end up distorting/stylizing them if i use them as a base for a more personally enjoyable work but they are useful for realizing things such as 'hm i seem to have gradually drifted away from awareness of where the bellybutton goes'

SPATIAL and TEMPORAL MEMORIES –Issues of Design 46

Post -781 –Gautam Shah . Memories relate to mental processes of remembering, retaining and recollecting our experiences. These mental processes are sporadic and do not have any predictable order, logic, proportion or mix. The memories have no latent value, till these are used to relive experiences, traumas or pleasures. The purposes of knowing or visiting the past, largely remains obscure.…

Stop in motion.

Your walk is essential to shape the memory of space and the space of your memory.
