the coder achieves flow and beauty when it can think so smoothly that it can DO without THINKING. the same oneness achieved by artists and pianists

however the coder, in order to reach this state more continuously must get better at THINKING. thus its need for the flow states of non-thinking are impeded by the INCREASED thinking necessary to reach the NON thinking flow states

it a self sabotaging effort that happens only with tokenized thought because tokenizing it makes it so repeatable and thus through its compression CANNOT take up the 100% immersion necessary for a flow state

coding is literally the opposite of sex because coding is infinitely compressible and replicable but (good) sex is not. because each moment is unique it cannot be duplicated or compressed without becoming porn

non-compressible states are important because they are GUARANTEED to be unique. they break out of infinite loops. in the depression of feeling like u’ve already felt everything u will feel. non-compressible states BREAK you out.
