Birthday gives us the certainty that we are here to begin another one of these years, only more senescent than before, while New Year offers the unique opportunity for denial of continuously failing the past one, because we reset some of the lowest bits of our calendar.

Bingo. By the way, everything is a story. Everything.

In your ontology, is "thing" literally coextensional with "story", or is "thing" a true subclass?

It’s a both subclass and a story in and of itself. Stories within stories. Think of a hypergraph

so is it "thing" or is it something like "thing"'s imaginary unit?

It’s a thing AND a representation of the thing. For example, an Aston Martin is a thing, but to its owner it’s both an object and a narrative representation of it. I see narrative as a compression mechanism in the brain creating simple behavior script from lots of complexity

So you have "things" outside of the context of representation? Did you consider how all the kinds of "things" we are usually entangled with are constructed?

I know, right? Not even particles and quanta are not compositional!

Would be interesting to extract this computation as a “script” and see how it lines up with the database of movie and TV scripts we’ve parsed for narrative structure

We have plenty of convincing narrative to ground the majority of movie scripts right down into particle physics.

That’s fascinating. We should talk about that offline
