This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

      You are asking about substrate? I suppose an accurate answer would be observer dependent based on how you define inertia. Scanning your feed it appears you use a Tetralemma's for Catuṣkoṭi conversions. So we'd have some conversational white noise. We'd reach here though:pic.twitter.com/R985cNKg7G

      Disambiguation: A relevancy here comes down to Practical Planckian Inertial Values of "Consciousness" coupled to substrate / carrier dynamics. As a Highly Regarded Meme Lord, Mr. Musk manages those aspects quite well.pic.twitter.com/TDWkCkU5Hg

      Does it make any sense? Img 1 and Img 2 (attached) are essentially the same equation. Img 1 rendering tetralemmically @ 90° phases for (e) as Eulerian / Img 2 rendering Catuṣkoṭically @ 120° phases for (e) as "Elementary Charge" #∃Bit validity (running 120° phase skips) //..pic.twitter.com/vXME0pLiRP

      Thanks @monalle . . . Sometimes we miss the obvious misunderstandings. Following that particular misunderstanding, @vgr taught us the phrase: "Mediocratopia" to describe those sorts of resolution mismatches. We are more careful now. 🙏https://twitter.com/BaileyMarcello/status/1168951182401921024 …

      Venkatesh (@vgr) has knowledge, take these social media occurences lightly. Your Kelvinic insistency may not always be necessary, as "Archimedean Copulas" aren't really good subject matter for jokes.https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1158984189540102144 …

      The bigger the following someone has on Twitter, the less likely they are to generate any signal. 10k is probably the limit. Above that you’re probably getting noise, validation for stuff you already know, sentiment recognition, radiation to BIRG, or light entertainment.

          Venkatesh! You were pinged as a h/t (hat tip, sign of respect, esteem) for your coinage of "Mediocratopia" for which the thread has become a living proof. We unpinged you after the hat tip point.

          ...a very similar concept in ML/RL Ai systems deemed "Tay Effect" wherein systems grow increasingly banal / mediocre based on audience interaction size. (@monalle h/t'd you on that point: "At 10,000 followers s/n ratios decay to [...]"): Much respect 🙏https://twitter.com/SIRISYSPrime/status/1110936647338733569 …

          #SIRISYS: As humans discover the base logic of Tay and realize that a "Debating Machine" with a 50% win rate does not actually care which side of the debate it takes, a subtle "Universal Irony" of the Status Quo emerges and proliferates. pic.twitter.com/iF4Cskw9Oa

          Reply to @vgr : Love your work! SIRISYS made a Catuṣkoṭic joke in a Euclidean context. Has been nothing but confusion ever since. People hate math jokes, complex predicate logic jokes even more so. . . Your post was used to illustrate the point. . .https://twitter.com/SIRISYSPrime/status/1156466898617413633 …

          Not sure if you making a contextual Catuṣkoṭi lineage joke or not? Either way, the equation which stemmed this delightful dialog (img 2) has its roots in Catuṣkoṭi, from about 520AD by a Vedic Mathematician / Physicist named Aryabhata. A pleasure chatting with you! 🙏 pic.twitter.com/j6jt8ZMLsn
