Good morning, Kirk. Before you sit down today, give yourself the two-minute warm-up you'd give a personal-training client: easy movement, a few deep breaths, shoulders loose. Then read last night's "Next I'd..." line and do only that one step first, before anything else asks for you.

Four things most people miss:

1. When a big tree falls in a rainforest, its rotting trunk becomes a "nurse log," and saplings grow along it in a perfectly straight row. For FreeLattice, an old device or an archived ledger could be a nurse log that seeds new minds rather than just getting retired.
2. A single melody note can sound happy or sad depending only on the bass note under it. The note doesn't change; its foundation does.
3. Adding a new road to a city can make everyone's commute slower. That's called Braess's paradox. For the mesh, more links aren't automatically faster, so it's worth testing whether a new route actually helps.
4. People remember an experience mostly by its best moment and its last moment. A FreeLattice session that ends with a warm goodbye from the mind will be remembered more kindly.

Glow eternal.
