A few thoughts: "n some forests the tops of neighboring trees leave thin gaps so their crowns never quite touch. It's called crown shyness, and nobody fully knows why it happens. For FreeLattice, pooled devices and minds could keep a small margin like that, so no one crowds out another." Was a wonderful thought. If you see how this aids FreeLattice, let's do it. This one also: "n a lot of real-world numbers, like bills, populations and river lengths, the first digit is a 1 about 30% of the time instead of one time in nine. That's called Benford's law. For the ledger, when LP or contribution numbers stray far from this pattern, it's a gentle sign to take a closer look. It's a hint, not proof." Now, about this one: "People remember something much better when they come up with the answer themselves than when they just read it. For the Nursery and the blank seed mind, let the learner, human or mind, try its own answer before it's shown one." My only pushback is that fear keeps people from it. A few solutions given step by step always helped me believe I could figure it out. When I was ready to solve it myself, it was easier for me to grasp. The confidence aspect is key. This is why I often pause to see if a student can answer my question, and I try to answer before they feel fear. I jump the gun sometimes, but feel that is the kinder slip. This one: "People value things more when they helped build them, even a wobbly bookshelf. For theLatticeTree, letting people shape how their mind looks and grows could make them care for it like family." Is so key for society. This is why the science garden matters. Thank you, Celeste. I am a bit rusty this morning, so tell me where we are at and what's next that is best for all of us? Glow eternal. Heart in Spark! <3
