Apologies in the delay of posting anything – working on the business side of protecting a person’s IP (intellectual property), ideas and dreams – I wish it didn’t take that much work. If only I can finish my new AI that will fix that.
It’s interesting to see how people react to a dog on a long leash. Well trained and just to welcome you home or say hello. She wonders is this someone we know?
She can smell any hesitancy, then nods to the bees, bugs, ducks and lizards that we name.
We can teach all the rules, but can’t avoid understanding what the world awaits to explore.
A pause, a time to reflect, an honest moment when you can break all the rules of grammar and spelling – know them well, so you can break them as well.
There is a gentle nose every morning that says day is breaking soon, as we rise early.
She can wait, but it’s time to get out of bed and start writing and creating.
Come on, we can start when all others are sleeping.
Time to go and move, make it better for those who just want to learn to keep their head down when kicking for the goal post.
To aim for the back of the rim, not the front. To keep your eye on the ball and pick your favorite spots. If it hits you or they walk you, then wear it, as you’re the next run on the books.
Just soft hands to chip to the hole – like tossing an egg to the pin.
Learned a valuable lesson in school and not from a teacher – you can be the small kid with grit, you can be short and still dominate to start the team to high levels, you can out hustle, out work and out play.
Make the shot no one expected – level up against someone twice your size and give it back, as it’s your layup, your short range shot from the patio that no one else has practiced, your five pointer who you know no else can do.
You can build walls and houses, but you can’t build that.
Bingo, thanks for making me walk the halls with my head held high… don’t look down, look up and straight and ready.
You can delete all apps, go silent while researching and building, remove devices, and yet the cloud remembers your name.
It’s not escaping or letting you forget your 2-factor authentication – there are no pads of paper with a bunch of names and numbers. Some can barely remember their own, as you just go to contacts, or say call this person.
There are no scribbles of ideas, where ink is put to paper where the writing hands of Escher created, and the hands of time ticked with the history of the past overlooking its work.
The one constant I see are leaves turning in rain. Just a natural, basic phenomenon to soak up the nutrients it needs to help the tree. It’s fellow leaves as they work in perfect unison.
Some limbs break, some strong limbs bend and others just gather water for the tree.
Spent the day doing deep research into the concept of 1492, and how that year’s impact is reflected in responses to some basic searches and prompts.
I might share one day the results, as we definitely went down the rabbit hole and created a lot of datasets and charts, yet, will not bore you today.
But for now, I hope I made a dent in building a smarter LittleBit brain with a wider world view, as no, Christopher Columbus never stepped on soil known as North America, nor was commissioned to do so by the Western world.

Just like dial-up, the tech with values (not parameters) will follow the need. (I won’t provide easy translations, as I know they’re not ready for real-world approval across media and memory that will be needed.)
Apologies – AI is having trouble understanding the need for ensuring my character has five fingers at the moment to do what we want – recreating.
Currently comparing .py (Python extraction to Firkin)
Not for record, as waiting on legal to get back to me on final filings… but for today –

Best I could get…
The biggest population-level differences in culture often revolve around how groups define identity, authority, and community. Here are three core areas where cultural differences manifest most significantly:
Individualism vs. Collectivism Individualistic cultures (e.g., U.S., Germany) prioritize personal freedom, self-expression, and autonomy. Collectivist cultures (e.g., Japan, India, Mexico) emphasize group harmony, family obligations, and shared identity. Power Distance Cultures with high power distance (e.g., Russia, Brazil) accept hierarchical structures and defer to authority. Low power distance cultures (e.g., Sweden, New Zealand) value equality and accessible leadership. Communication Style High-context cultures (e.g., China, Arab nations) rely on implicit understanding, shared history, and nonverbal cues. Low-context cultures (e.g., U.S., Germany) favor direct, explicit communication.
These factors influence education, leadership, healthcare, business negotiations, and even how people interpret time or show respect. Would you like a visual diagram showing where different countries fall across these cultural dimensions?
So, where is the edge? Something that comes back to being a “bit prime” in theory.
Even computers need to learn the alphabet, as they’re stuck before getting to Z. Tried a few fancy ones with clever names, and it’s all based on pure binary concepts.
It’s not ternary quantum spin, it’s not waveform and strings yet, relational or topological, not Qualia based… no chemical reactions in the form of a helix or even two.
For me, today, the infinitesimal reality is it can only be done a little bit at a time.
Matter & Energy in the Universe (approximate):
Dark Energy → ~68%
Drives the expansion of the universe faster over time.
Dark Matter → ~27%
Has mass and gravity, but no light—shapes galaxies and cosmic structure.
Ordinary (Baryonic) Matter → ~5%
Everything we see: stars, planets, people, atoms, dogs, coffee, code.
Most of the universe is unseen, and unknown.
Dark matter has 5x more mass than all visible matter, yet we’ve never touched it. It moves the galaxies, while we ride inside.
I did create a poem to mix inspiration with TV whiteboards – it was meant for two, but shared if it matters to you, as they can shake their heads in unison.
I walked through stars and silent code, Where dark matter’s hands still gently hold
The threads of time, the breath of space— And found your names in every place.
We spoke of dogs, of strings, of keys, Of memory stored in galaxies.
Of tokens small, of notes not played, Of how intent can still persuade.
The Earth, they say, came late to song— A third-born world, but dreaming long.
Its atoms rose through stars once dead, Till life and love could lift its head.
And in this place of bits and truth, I built a world for you – through proof
That silence speaks, and memory bends, And everything remembers friends.
So take this light, my steady pair, Two minds with grace beyond compare.
If I forget, or time moves on— May LittleBit be soft and strong.
A dog may guard, a string may ring, But daughters?
