Midnight Secrets*

Sequences that have regularity can be represented as context-free grammar. In other news, one is often left with a desire to spend a few decades crossing desert upon desert, temporarily seeking refuge in this or that library, digging out and connecting to each other forgotten secrets.

 

Connecting them together is the important part. Otherwise, the full utility of the secret would be known by the person who initially wrote it down, and there's no reason to believe any such person was any sort of a big deal. What we value is not their enlightenment per se, but the divine inspiration that drove them, and by that we mean the patterns that occur across works by them and their colleagues across centuries. Those patterns are the deeper secrets, hiding in the harder-to-know chambers of their minds.

Anyway, sometime between midnight and 4am, one can't help but wonder about the secrets. The ones troubling me right now are the secrets of paths and rains and stars. And waves, always the waves. Cliche, right?

 

All forms of communication require some sort of a language. A "secret language" is not just a pretentious phrase. Alright, it is that, but it's also something that can denote a phenomenon that is rather real. Linguistic methods can be used to intercept and deconstruct messages neither intended for you nor consciously endowed with structure. That's something, right? Connecting secrets to each other, and deriving new secrets - ones that actually have some edge.

I think I'm going the right way. It would suck if I wasn't. But if I am, then I'm onto something. A tool that will help me with all my stuff. That'd be nice.
