¶-THIS PRODUCTION IS NOT IN COOPERATION WITH DISNEY OR THE ESTATE OF RODERICK THORP.-
DISCLAIMER 1: Utilized is a two-prong approach: (a) keep the focus local on
website @uuelco.ME, so that its (b) offered cinematic is incorporated as a way to generate a very large concentrated amount ('whales') of cost-per-click (ie. human) versus the usual cost-per-mille "EMOJI" (an acronym for 'Egglepple move-ji', where 'j' is the sigma and 'i' is its divisor) traffic to the website (helpful in growing my revenue stream in order to pay for this). So, (b) finances (a).
DISCLAIMER 2: Per (b), this story is one of a very dark tone. The drama presented here is based on ideologies of yesteryear, and rooted in Civil Rights era(s) in the United States of America. As such, it is replete with revisional ethnographies, insinuations of gender and/or racial oppression (whether they be real or implied), manifestos of terrorism, and expressions that question established religion/politics. In short, 8\3 is vulgar and may be extremely offensive, but this is not deliberate; it is possibly due to misinformation and/or coincidence. Contemporary aspects draw on real historical
events which in turn have been woven into a story largely sourced from the books 'The Detective' (Thorp, 1966), 'Nothing Lasts Forever' (Thorp, 1979), and the autobiography of H. Rap Brown (1969), whose subjects matter were highly controversial. Although certain parts are presented as historical fiction, this is not a documentary and doesn't attempt to portray events with total accuracy. We offer apologies ahead of time for any insensitivities and/or vulgarities. Remember, it's just entertainment, folks! Enjoy :)
DISCLAIMER 3: If you become infuriated with or disoriented by the pacing of this picture, just know that it is of intentional design. We want you to experience second-hand what it would be like to suffer through neurodegenerative disorders that severely affect mental, physical, and emotional health. Likewise, an artificial claustrophobia (via hyperreality, ie. intentionally induced 'hallucinations' made so that you would have difficulty discerning falsehoods from factualities) coupled with social triggers were devised specifically for the audience to feel like the world is coming to an abrupt
end. This is done with the purpose of drawing awareness to 🧠brain conditions in hopes of furthering research and medical aid.
DISCLAIMER 4: As a peer production, 8\3 is not affiliated with any union/guild or third-party studio. Careful
measures were taken to avoid potential legal ramifications when making this project by reimagining its sourced franchise via independent/third-party new/emerging media (categorized under 'web series', not 'film'), which is what this is. Though not a videogame, 8\3 contains gamification elements reminiscent of a MUD allowing for interaction; complementing its prompts is side paneling, a map overlay, and decision trees. Cinematic cutscenes/clips (ie. external interruptions for action and dialogue) tagged as 'Easter eggs' comprise our extended play. Because the story is told in a manner with the only goal being to bookend chords N and H, the 'eggs' are issued as 2D in-media reference points. These innovations are necessary to move the viewer along in a technique called 'horizontal storytelling'. 8\3 contains strong crude language, nudity+copulation, graphic violence, and disturbing imagery. It is web-based and designed for mobile at global scale.Jump to: "Old Habits" × "Bad Habits" × webisodes

"I like magic. Doesn't everybody enjoy a good trick? You can't fault me for knowing the truth: that greed works in reverse; no one is as rich as they want to be, only as poor as they claim to be." - Gunyo Gruber
/// We know that (according to the literature), despite his gruesome exterior, Gruber did what he did (perhaps not in the manner that he did it) because he was a freedom fighter for the underdog. Ironically, he attacked the Klaxon corporation because he thought - thanks to his independent leftist leanings - that the company wasn't doing enough to help the less fortunate in the South American country from which it was exploiting. In that sense, he (as the leader of a terrorist group) was a self-proclaimed Robin Hood. Here, not so much.
¶Our first encounter with Gruber comes early in ChordN, where he is an incredibly condescending Pinkerton contractor working alongside Lily in her pod (= Lily, Gruber, Ellis) on behalf of shipping magnate, Maundy Lindros, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
¶Normally, Maundy wouldn't need the services of someone like a Gruber, who is a versatile mercenary employed by her business to head general counsel as she battles legal difficulties put forth by the incoming competitor, Dwight Mann and his company, Nile, LLC, because she's made do just fine these past forty+ years with smart management to her credit. But the days are no longer quotidian. This is the first time in her career that Maundy has had to operate from a position of apparent weakness - a challenge she does not relish by any means - as she engages with her longtime political rival, Ember Libitina, in the civic sphere.
¶During this unusually busy Eastertide, Gruber's pod is tasked with representing Delaware Valley's most notorious kingpin, Theo, who's currently caught up in a legal quagmire not of his own doing (hint). Gunyo, specifically, has the skillset (and some backdoor connections) to 'magically' bend the law in his client's favor, but for a 'small' price.
¶Some call him "Little Gun", even though he stands an imposing 6'3''. -->I made up the word 'gunyo' to mean 'little gun' in some faux Yiddish. I doubt someone would name their kid that, but it works well here (I'm very proud of it, too😁), taking into consideration that Gruber's first name in the book was actually Anton ("Little Tony the Red"), not Hans.<-- He's nice when he has to be, the jobs call for it. Just know that Gruber is a dangerous German-born double agent for the IDF. He was hired to do a job - and he'll do it well - but can he really outmaneuver Ms. Lindros at her own game? We have four (4) chords to do a character study and learn his fate, as Gruber starts out as a lightweight, but becomes a major player by ChordH.

(ritornello: Eastertide {40 select days between March 26 - December 31}, 1978 ["Die, Detective!"]) - Egg Pascha, a young southpaw steel worker from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania,
moved to Brandywine to enlist in the United States Coast Guard. A ranking seaman (E-3), his bravery as a search-and-rescue amphibious diver (frogman) is quickly acknowledged and rewarded in forming a lasting friendship with his superior, Alven (PO3).
The two have ambitions of being entertainers as a side hustle with their four-person vaudeville troupe 'Bruno'.
¶Auditions for the final talent show at the famed Temple Theater are taking place before its shuttering, which happens to coincide with both the intra-city riot instigated by the aftermath of aggression towards the GO outfit, as well as a spree of mysterious abductions of military personnel by some menace profiled as "Colin" that began earlier in the Summer.
¶--- NARRATIVE: After a six-year city-mandated hiatus, Brandywine's famed Temple Theater is having what it calls its 'Easter Week': a one-off weeklong revival showcase ("The Jukebox") before it finally closes its doors due to increasing blight in the north part of town; the neighborhood is no longer as safe and vibrant as it was just a decade prior.
The African-American (B1/ADOS/FBA) community is still feeling the effects of the Civil Rights Movement, compounded with first Chief of Police and then-Mayor Luigi's antics and policies frozen in place during that decade. Turning inward, the Community becomes increasingly activist, self-destructive, and simultaneously self-expressive.
In the middle of all this we have some blue-eyed soul, a young Egg Pascha who is also struggling to find his place in the world as he chases his dreams, follows his heart, and succumbs to destiny. This part of the story (fictitiously what transpires in the aftermath of the Amateur Night held on Saturday August 5, 1978) is the most pivotal in telling because the events define who and what our eponym is (to become).
¶The criminal investigation that suspects mafia boss Busbee "Don Antony" Pistacchio (Tellatoya family) sponsored illegal maritime deals, is thisclose to a fruitful conclusion before attention is abruptly shifted.
Now, GO's leader, Aegypt, has been branded as Public Enemy #1, even though his version of Black empowerment - dubbed "Brotherly Love" - is virtually harmless and would actually be beneficial to the community at-large.
Alven's young pregnant wife, Norma, craving more masculinity from her marriage, is now torn between loyalties to her husband's ambition with 'Bruno' and her own ambition within GO, thereby creating a costly melodrama.
¶Local law enforcement is strained under newly appointed district attorney Ember Libitina because of an obsession with Aegypt; she plays dirty and her 'tough on crime' stance may prove to be irresponsible jurisprudence. Her office has seemingly ignored peril in the rest of the City to focus ruthlessly on Aegypt, an eccentric freedom fighter whose community-building efforts are taken to be a direct threat to the Brandywine Police Department. Aegypt is rebellious against law enforcement and high-technology, but not in a demonstrative way; he'd much rather tend to his 'anti-pollution' lifestyle with his followers in their own small section of town.
His group, GO, recently purchased a block of houses in the university district, and are intent on converting those into a spiritual health cooperative for Black people. GO's ideologies speak to racial harmony and financial discipline for all, but city codes are intolerant of communals boarding convicted criminals.
¶Somebody has called for wholesale assassinations as the BPD attempts to evict GO and serve arrest warrants, but is met with self-defensive crossfire.
In response, bombs are dropped in a residential area, resulting in death, destruction, and lies./// In the storyline, Ember Libitina is a hold-over from the Mayor Luigi era in Brandywine; an indirect characterization of an almagamation of late-20th Century Philadelphia District Attorneys [DA] (after whom she was loosely modeled).
¶Now in her eighth decade of life, the Attorney General Emerita sees this special election in which she is running for re-election as the culmination of all of her works and possibly her last chance at abusing said coveted office. It's a credibly odd circumvention, but the mayorship of Brandywine caps the efforts of a distinguished legal career and satisfies her public ambition. As the state's former top cop (she transferred from Steelerville to work in the Brandywine DA's outpost for sake of convenience), Ember - who is notoriously "tough on crime" - seeks to re-assert the 'natural order of things' throughout and around the town. Her campaign/tenure is based on adjectives such as reform, gentrification, safety, and progress. She is definitely "in it to win it".
{The backstory part (1978) is based largely on historical fiction, so we defer to real people of that time.
¶Frank Rizzo's tenure as both Chief of Police first and then mayor, was marked as being full of strife and animosity towards Philly's African-American demographic. It may be difficult to gauge his impact today considering the national political climate in aftermath of the Obama presidency and so forth, but he remains a towering figure that may have set a precendent on how to 'handle' crime and criminals in large American cities.}
¶I actually couldn't tell this story without Ember. One, as the incumbent mayor, she needs a worthy challenger (Curran) in the runoff election that's taking place, and two, in order to keep things from spiraling out-of-control, Maundy's overbearing authority has to be challenged by an adversary from the political sphere. It just does.
¶This situation (the distribution of Mr. Alphabet's intra-city investment) lends itself perfectly to a winner-takes-all 'Battle for Brandywine' that nobody can actually win. The ever-so-sharp Ember shows us that people's migrant behavior is recycled from patterns of economic health [ie. roughly every two (2) decades or every other generation, the wealthier class relocates back into the city for jobs/employment+transportation before saving their money and moving to the suburbs]. This is an important note and plot point, as we see that residential stagnation is a detriment and impossibility where there exists youth.
¶One civil mishap has led to another in recent outings (eg. police shootings → arson/riots, bombings, landscape defacing, etc.), and Libitina requests the personal protection and repute of none other than Pascha himself to assist her in navigating this extremely intense social climate as she makes her campaign rounds. He obliges with reservation, suspecting there is more to this assignment than meets the eye. He's probably right; given enough time and resources, we see that the true nature of the beast is to rule.
¶Due to his background of investigative work in the private sector, Egg Pascha - employed as a double agent private eye - had been personally courted by Mayor Luigi to surveil the group and monitor its movements as the uncouth executive mobilizes the police force whose brutality further disturbs the peace, leading to factions erupting into a self-destructive warzone in which Pascha finds himself in the middle of.
Because of the assignment, his espionage has him feeling like a traitor; the wife of his colleague, Alven - who is also his fraternal brother, is a member of GO, and the three of them are part of a band that has advanced to the finals in the local talent show. He must now ask himself if it is worth risking his one shot at making it big in Hollywood? The answer to this question will shape the rest of life.
¶Certain persons within GO, refusing to relinquish their freedom and liberties, become reactionary after being backed into a corner, and start to behave as they see fit. Never liking or trusting Pascha, anyway, an especially frightened Norma defends herself by pushing the limits of the law to include manslaughter. Her supportive sibling, Dominique, devises a way for the family to circumvent the legal system, but not before she and her unborn child are seemingly unalived by Egg Pascha.
This act immediately impacts the relationship between the comrades, even though Pascha swears to Alven that it was somehow an accident and maintains his innocence. Either way, it happened on his watch, so he has to live and die with that guilt.
¶On the brink of stamping a ticket to a new career, Egg Pascha and Alven together must prove their mettle in a daring, action-packed deep sea rescue mission
stemming from an active terrorist attack on the Salem Nuclear Power Plant in New Jersey
under the cover of the region's worst seasonal weather in years.
The future can only accept one of them after this figurative and literal storm calms down, and they each know this. During a haywire aurora borealis, their loyalties will be tested as Egg Pascha comes in radio contact with a bizarre figure who offers information that aids in solving "cold cases of yesteryear".
¶Secret exploration plans (via NASA Voyager program) are in motion to probe 'Wormwood' - a recently discovered celestial object orbiting planet Neptune. The applications of said event provide an enormous opportunity for technological advancement, but for whom? Something about the Year 2049. Hint:
¶In the meantime, a major shipbuilding magnate by the name of Maundy Lindros lurks around the city government,
flaunting her industrial-strength money and changing Brandywine's political landscape with her bribery and ambitions; abusing her status to essentially buy controlling seats on the City Council. Via her business, Lindros FlyerCast and Irons, Ltd., she recently acquired the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard + Pennsport as a permanent base upon relocating from Port Richmond, and brought some steadyhands with her, including the disposable
Dominique Noah, neighborhood imam[description:= Black male, late-60s years (mid-20s years in 1978 flashback) /// character:= he can preach until the moon turns blue, but secretly is deep-down tired of the choir itself, embittered, lately finds himself babysitting Tharbis' kids, originally from Newport News but 'caught up' in Pennsylvania, he's been waiting for someone like lnq👨🏿🦱 - who he views as a prophet - to come along .. perhaps as a means to hide his own dark past, hardcore, a real G who can get whatever you need as long as you don't ask how he got it, modeled (indirectly) after the myth of the Brothers Stewart].
¶When I wrote the first incarnations of Maundy, the character was actually an obese male; I had a stereotypical Mediterranean mob boss / crime overlord in the mold of Vito Corleone (or Wilson Fisk). That idea was at first discarded because I thought the world needed to move away from over-subjugating certain persons, and because we've already seen that done many times over. ... and because this part of the storyline didn't have a place to fit such a gangster's history; a requisite for understanding what makes someone like that tick. That was an honest error; I was later seduced to the realization that Cosa Nostra is a credible subplot, so it was re-spawned into a different character. 
¶Really wanting to surprise my audience, I then rewrote Maundy as a cultish elder, but again, too stereotypical; almost borderline tinfoil hat stuff. The easy fix was to just change the gender. Women and their motives (especially in the company of men) tend to be much more difficult to follow on screen/stage when all the audience is given is a few minutes with them. Men are simple to gauge; we have a small menu. Women, on the otherhand are usually (not always) in supportive roles (in the company of men), meaning that there is a lot more on their plate that they're actually dealing with when it comes to keeping waters calm.
¶Maundy's that person. She is a monster in her own right, though her sophistication will not allow her emotions to devolve into a savage like lnq👨🏿🦱; nibbling on an oppressive spice like most would-be miscreants is beneath her.
¶Instead, she's had plenty of time to seduce and manipulate those she needed to to get where she wants to be. Those can be the toughest people to read since you're inadvertently part of their plans. Avarice is her basic instinct. Because she represents absolute power, this character needed to be larger in scope than everyone around her; so slick that we feel we may be dealing with the embodiment of the 👿Devil Herself.
¶What was demanded was an instant declaration of character. In 1978, the Navy Yard in Brandywine is 'undocking'; having practically been de-commissioned since its last ship was built some eight years prior, the U.S. Military has begun organizing plans to transfer ownership of the grounds to the highest private domestic bidder in an effort to stave off foreign competition towards the end of the Cold War. The opportunistic Port Richmond-based tycoon, Maundy Lindros, has caught wind of the sale and wants to expand her dealings in the corridor. This sets Maundy against the baroness Lambsimon from France in an intense bidding war for the real estate.
¶This happens to coincide with the August 1978 GO incident in Brandywine, where an off-shoot of young Black freedom fighters were brutally and wrongfully attacked by the city's government, leading to historians attributing it - and the similar 1985 massacre on the group by the same police force - as full-fledged racism; reminiscent of the slaughtering on 'Black Wall Street' in Tulsa, Oklahoma. These events made national news, by the way, and are sensationalized in this piece.
¶I have artistic license here, and use it to make Maundy a vital shaker in bringing about the creation of so-called 'Meroë' (aka 'East Philly, it doesn't actually exist, but is crucial to the storyline); the aftermath of the White-on-Black aggression calls for land grants within city limits to be designated to an intentionally segregated-but-equal Black class as compensation for / compromise of agreed-upon faults. This action was spearheaded by Maundy herself in the intervening seven years, resulting in the planned community of 'Meroë' (what local bigots deemed 'Niggerville').
¶Of course, this just happens to be constructed on the wharf that the Lindros company wants ownership of, so city permits surreptitiously fall in her favor. Allthewhile, she manages to prey on people's seemingly natural fear + distaste of Black folk to her advantage, relying on that to keep would-be aggravators at-bay while giving her a headstart onto her true ambition.
¶When we meet her in Die, Detective!™ (the work's prelude = the year 1978), we immediately know who sets the tone. A coastal Virginia-born+raised aristocrat instilled with a sense of noblesse oblige (although you wouldn't at first guess this from her affection for cowgirl boots👢), she runs things without titles. Blind (born with optic nerve hypoplasia) - yet visionary - and mute, she's deignly mastered the secret to being in two (2) places at once - by having your DNA all over the place (and holograms). We're not afraid of her, we just would rather not deal with her if we don't have to.
¶Possessing a genius IQ🧠, she has applied it masterfully to naval🛳⚓ architecture. Her enterprise (to which she was a legatee), Lindros FlyerCast & Irons, Ltd., was instrumental in building and bringing the first fleet of slave ships to Rhode Island's wharves (I made that up, there's no real historical significance. Wink😉 to the Swedish surname.), and today controls the regional (Brandywine-Bay of Virgin Peake corridor) seaport for all merchant maritime freight (shipping, shipping containers, shipping container housing, terminals/docking vessels, and so forth).
¶By proxy, her company is also the de facto operator of the Brandywine Water Authority (+ global desalination technology subsidiaries), largest developer of The Shipyard, holder of the Brandywine Gas Company, mutual owner of SPEC (Southeastern Pennsylvania Electric Company), silent majority stakeholder in the Panama Canal Mortgage, and financier of the Thanks Endowment.
¶She doesn't know it yet, but her heavy investment in Securitas AB is about to look more prudent (and dangerous at the same time), thanks to the hiring of Pinkerton consultant Gunyo Gruber.
¶Like with any control freak, she's grounded in materialism, because to them, possessions are tangible realism. That's what's scary about her; she's bureaucratic, not political.
¶For reference, Maundy's full name is Maundy Lindros. The name comes from 'Maundy Thursday', retaining Easter nomenclature. -- Trivia: "Maun-" is derived from Old Norse; akin to Olde English "gemynd", meaning 'think' or 'intellect'. The name 'Lindros' was chosen in honor of of Eric Lindros, who played for the Philadelphia Flyers hockey🏒 team, that's also where the name of her inherited business (Lindros FlyerCast...) comes from. -- She has no siblings, never married, and is childless. We can conjecture that because her traditional parents may have been somewhat disappointed by having a physically disabled/handicapped kid, they decided to not bring any more children into this cruel world, and instead, dedicated all of their resources to her development, which may explain her heightened senses, genius, and work ethic. Her zodiac sign is Pisces♓👍.
¶The first ban on slavery anywhere in the American (New England) colonies was passed on May 18, 1652 in the territory of what is now Rhode Island. Since this is fiction, anyway, we may assume, for good measure, that the Lindros family - perhaps upon Quaker conversion after its Pennsylvania settlement - may have had something to do with the passing of that code.
¶She really is untouchable. Throughout most of the story, we rarely get to see her in the flesh; she uses holograms exclusively. A diabolical recluse who seldom docks for anyone, Maundy (in the vicinity of her bodyguard/captain/pilot, Lef'fut) resides on a Class A submersible, the Drebbel, that often deep cruises somewhere nearby in the Atlantic Ocean, probably in a bay off the coast of New Jersey. -- Heck, I wrote her and I can't even pinpoint her location.🤷🏿♂️ -- This is to give a sense of how little she thinks of both the limelight and people on land, and the baggage each brings. Allergic to stress (her philosophy for living a long life), she takes great precautions to ensure her well-being.
¶On the business side, she runs Lindros using encrypted holograms with keyboard⌨️ input. The corporate office occupies an ⚓anchored converted corvettes on the shipyard, and is managed by her assistant, Lily. It also operates mineral mining camps in Arrow Bow County, Elsewhere.
¶In addition to being the world's premiere distiller of argon, Lindros is the largest importer of phosphate from Morocco in the Americas. A subplot is that Brandywine's Islamic☪ demographic (spearheaded by her North African Muslim community) wants her company to pay retribution for unfair trade practices between the two countries, and a sizable number of Moroccan mobsters have sprouted inside the City and around the Delaware Valley for this very purpose. To protect her wharf from local mob threats, she employs on-again, off-again imam, Dominique.
¶In the present-day, when the world's richest person, Mr. Alphabet (Dwight Mann), comes to town seeking a second headquarters for his Portsmith, Oregon-based e-commerce firm, Nile LLC, part of the requirements for its new station are that those utility companies being privately held by Lindros be returned to the public sphere. That's billions of dollars in annual income for her potentially at-risk. Couple that with the fact that Mr. Alphabet's business is also in shipping by default (commercial freight: trucking, cargo drones, air, and rail🚆), and has selected Brandywine because of its location and proximity to overseas handlers, things aren't boding well for our heiress. As a precaution, she initiates the 'ArC Project' [NOAH].
¶Since 1978 when she strong-willed the then-city council to turn over the utilities into her private hands, she's made a vast fortune, acquired extraordinary influence, and become a menace to the jurisdiction, especially the District Attorney's office. Now things are coming full circle for her, but, she is composed, insightful, and vastly as resourceful in her own right. We'll see how this plays out.
¶There is a serial killer on the loose in Irish Charm that is giving local agencies fits. In an area reputed for its down-and-outness, for some reason, certain city officials all of a sudden seem to care an awful lot about its stability. But, if you listen to these politicians tell it this election season, "Poor people vote, too.".
¶Additionally, aggressive geopolitics has taken center stage, and Maundy's company has been tasked with handling very peculiar seafaring requests from the United States government (particularly the Departments of Homeland Security and Defense). Namely, legislation is floating around on Capitol Hall (yes, that's correct. Keep reading.) that would call for - if passed - the annexation of Liberia as a territory (the country was formerly an American colony in the Nineteenth Century).
¶This is being done under the guise of re-establishing dominance on the African continent to counter growing influence/threat from China and India. But, with all of the current domestic racial strife, we can't be too certain of the motive considering that Lindros has been contracted to build a superclass frigate and a fleet of vessels that transport 'human cargo at-scale'. -- The four-fold arc of the show begins with its first chord,
N. The other three (3) chords, in order, are O, A, and H. Her being in shipbuilding invites you to assume that the remainder of the work has something to do with that element of religiosity. By ChordN (the start of Holy Week), her mettle is tested, and we'll see just what she is all about.
¶Basically, the whole story centers around her, as told from interactions with our eponym (focusing on his point-of-view, which is necessary since he is the random walker). To some degree - and on a very high-level, the entire piece purveys the rivalry between Maundy - who represents business + organization - and her adversary, Ember Libitina - who represents crime - (essentially leaving Pascha's angle relegated to being a punctual dramatic prop).
¶For the better part of forty-plus years, these two power brokers have formulated an ongoing mutual disdain for each other; engaging in a soft war of money versus clout. It has taken an outsider and an incredible event to align their singular objectives.
¶The tricky part about this character is that although, yes, she is the villain, she brings no intentional antagony to the narrative; (other than her younger self's direct involvement with Egg Pascha's reformation) she is not the sworn enemy of our protagonist/antagonist. Yet, the ebb+flow of her executive decisions pretty much entangles everyone in her web🕸. For comparison, most people assume the xenomorph is the villainy in the Alien franchise, but, if you think about it, the android is the real villain in each outing. The xenomorph was engineered as a virus programmed to do nothing more than re-populate; whilst the android was created by The Corporation to retrieve said virus so that it can be used as a biological weapon. Being a non-biological humanoid, it slyly blends in with its crew, only to willingly let the crew be murdered in order to fulfill its objectives. Humans, then, would become equal parts host and parasite. In either analysis, the xenomorph and the android are both 'aliens' on a mission solely for self-preservation, which is exactly the mindset of Maundy.
¶Good and bad are points of view, and Maundy embodies that idiom. She is by far my favorite character in this. When writing her, I found myself cheering for her at parts because she's the rare individual with a grand plan and the determination to execute on that plan. She doesn't shy from her sentiment that Egg Pascha went and started some shit💩 and now she's got to finish it.
¶A lot of people dream of something and want it to happen - their hubris even leaves them with the expectation of it happening, and then there are the very few that actually make it happen. In that regard, I liken her to a particular former American Vice President. Maundy made bold bets in her youth that paid dividends; she trusts her instinct and is usually always right (to paraphrase Donald Trump: successful people tend to only listen to themselves). Our girl is a boss; a gangster's gangster.
¶Swift-acting, Maundy's considerable wealth and intelligence has afforded her extraordinary influence, which she uses to seize the power vacuum and broker a recompense deal with the jurisdiction's Black (B1/ADOS/FBA) demographic that leads to the creation of a new sector - called 'Meroë' - for the City's transgressions against GO;
a chess♟️ move in her designs of iterative power acquisition. On paper, this district's main function is to act as a separate-but-equal establishment to carry-out Aegypt's would-be vision. But in reality, it's re-purposed as a proxy for Lindros' secretive business dealings. Coincidentally, Lindros was Pascha's employer in Bethlehem, PA before he too settled in Brandywine with an undiagnosed early onset of Parkinson's disease (probably contracted from the jobsite) that has only exacerbated since.
¶All of these characters pull our Coastie in directions that overlap each other, making for a fascinating documentary for personal gain by the novelist Junior Mayne in his soon-to-be-released (1979) exploitative anthology titled, 'Gumshoe, Neverlasting'.
(suite: Lent - Easter Sunday, present-day ["Chords N-O-A-H"]) - The entity named 'SAINT BERNARD' (SB) has made a number of under-the-table deals over the course of the past few months with religious sects worldwide to force the prophesied Third Temple's erection. 
Meanwhile, a worldwide pandemic in the form of a viral neurotoxin (biowarfare?) has crippled the global economy, and the anticipated aftermath of a recovery has sparked fears of a hegemonic shift between the Western and Eastern hemispheres; potentially resulting in a clash of cultures and an inevitable world war.
SB's deliberate attempt to invoke the Second Coming tickles the diabolical beaks of war hawks, but not without consequence.
¶The United States is entering a recession amidst a hemispherical pandemic as Congress teeters with unsolicited countermeasures against the volatile Eastern Bloc, threatening Armageddon.
For all it's worth, the Russians have played their cards right:
they correctly bet that starting another relatively minor invasion with her neighbor would cause NATO to react by picking sides with and blindly supporting the opposition, thereby delivering economic inflation in those countries, to which voters would swing the pendulum back to neoconservatism,
headed by Kremlin operatives posing as darkhorse influencers who favor so-called 'democracy'. In short, traitors have convened in Washington, and now the 3+1 branches of government can no longer trust each other until things get sorted out.
¶A lifetime of scheming landed her in bed with Beltway cognoscenti and a slough of other D.C. elites, all of which enabled mayor Ember Libitina to maneuver her penultimate power play: fracturing the District of Columbia.
House Speaker Henza Turtl is pressuring Lindros to modify the company's payloads in order to accommodate an expected wave of asylum seekers relocating to the Delaware Valley,
underhanding a batch of new legislation on 'Capitol Hall' (a synedoche for the ruling frame stationed at offices transferred within City Hall now that the nation's capital resettled [1790-1800] to Brandywine temporarily since the infrastructure / structural integrity of Legislative Branch edifices in the District have been jeopardized) that can have serious societal repercussions.
¶Maundy's personal gamble on 'Meroë' (fictional East Philly, modeled - in spirit - after historic Greenwood, Tulsa, Oklahoma) has paid dividends,
but the maturity of the compromise came with a clash of social residuals (eg. home rule, self-sufficiency) that even she didn't anticipate, especially the reactions from the regional crypto/energy-dealing kingpin, Theo.
In response, she finally activates/initiates her long-brewing clandestine "NOAH" plans ('ArC Project') - an underwater argon-powered vessel meant to later dock off-world with an already-orbiting miniature probe in Neptune's atmosphere.
¶Suffering from massive hallucinations (including prosopometamorphopsia and visions of the ghost of his eight-years-dead ex-wife haunting him) which have left him as his own worst enemy, old man Egg Pascha has reluctantly returned to Brandywine to receive clinical care for his neurodegenerative diseases.
Being the victim of identity theft, a personal wish is granted as his past heroics seem to go unnoticed;
only his true friend is willing to vouch for him on his behalf as hardly anyone recognizes him anymore (or is it the other way around?)./// We've grown accustomed via conditioning from the likes of Hollywood and books to look at people who save our lives as heroes without consideration to the possibility of them having ulterior motives. To offer another perspective, my personal thesis is in agreement with Lex Luthor: Clark Kent is an alien of great power that must be contained, if not eventually destroyed, because he poses a grave threat to humanity altogether. I mean, suppose he's having a bad day or views the foibles of mankind as enough to decimate it? Here, Pascha's done some good in-between the rolling credits, but can we really trust a person who is not even trusted by their own?
+¶Since Pascha's a detective, let me share my unsolicited analysis of the Batman comics (maybe you'll be able to draw some parallels), which is that Batman / Bruce Wayne is just as crazy and insane as the very sick people that he continually tries to apprehend. Every single one of the patients at Arkham Asylum needs more help than punishment, but Batman / Bruce Wayne in his privileged spoiled-brattiness takes it upon himself to 'police' these deranged patients in a twisted game of catch-and-release to ward off not crime, but loneliness. Batman / Bruce Wayne will rein these mentally ill individuals in and allow them to break out of incarceration, just so he can fuck with them again all in the name of 'justice'. He is able to get away with this in large part because of his wealth and status, and to a smaller degree because his competence affords him insight into the innerworkings of an unstable psyche that Gotham City law enforcement finds valuable, even if it comes from a guy dressed in a bat costume.
¶Having reverted to his role of private investigator, the deal is that he volunteer with the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (CGAPD) in exchange for both therapy and record expungement (namely, waiving a prior dishonorable discharge and thereby receive his full pension, in addition to getting health benefits that include copay treatment [L-DOPA] for his Parkinson's/diabetes package),
while reporting intel directly to mayor Libitina for her protection because an obstinate bias towards a nonsensical "conservative liberal" agenda has proven to be too divisive during her trying re-election campaign against police chief Curran and an unexpected groundbreaking third-party candidate in a race that would put its winner in a position - perhaps not as the country's figurehead, but its de facto leader - having obvious federal implications. As a favor, he is prescribed a military-grade high-tech companion gadget, 'Stuart', aiding in his treatment. Additionally, the detective is assigned an understudy, Bunny, who is revealing herself to be trouble. Together, their job is to help rein in Theo.
¶Bunny is a studly NCIS officer who is fresh off the murder case of Felix Yota that she just helped solve. There is a new assignment for the talented young officer who is being quickly promoted through the ranks of the Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS): a dragnet is on for "Theo", the mid-Atlantic's most dangerous gang leader.
Bringing Theo to justice could lead to great rewards and coveted recognition that comes along with it. With the assistance of her connections to the city government and dubious ties to the criminal underworld, this shouldn't be a problem, and wouldn't be if she can just do things her way.
¶Pascha's medical condition and extended visit have become burdensome to his caretaker/guardian daughter this Easter holiday; to cope, Lily's busy schedule leaves little room for much else besides managing her work pod (herself + Gunyo + Earl Ellis), and she prefers it that way.
¶An old rivalry is rekindled as the mysterious Mr. Alphabet - the world's richest person - and his conglomerate, Nile LLC, steadily move into town from Portsmith, Oregon looking to build out its new corporate co-headquarters. As an unorthodox method for talent scouting, he has pledged considerable re-investment into Brandywine (the country's most impoverished zip codes)
in the form of creating a city-wide tournament for artificial intelligence (AI) development - Philadelphia Artificial Lambda Model (PALM) {trained on 👨🏿🦱lnq's work from #8lnq, and the reason behind what sparks my character's involvement demoing
an effect causing tribes to scramble for a piece of the sweepstakes. The local magnate, Maundy Lindros, feels that her business dealings may be threatened by the arrival of the new enterprise, and looks to act quickly. In opposition to her, the city's mayor, Ember Libitina, seeks to oblige the requests of Mr. Alphabet, which entails expediting cleaning up the streets of crime, poverty, and foul activity to go hand-in-hand with his investment.
Maundy, who has puppeteered thugs and drug lords to do her bidding in the past, once again encounters her legal nemesis, except that this time - in the midst of an important political election season - the stakes are much higher. Meanwhile, Theo is on the hunt for city personnel who could thwart him. The Mayor's Office responds to the very serious potential challenges posed by the kingpin by placing Ember in the care of Pascha for the time being.
/// The greatest mystery in the Universe is figuring out who (or what) is pulling the strings. Something a little more palatable may be unmasking who is really responsible for the actions of the infamous One-Percent [class]. -- That answer is much more simple: every person is ultimately responsible for their own actions (as long as they can keep their behavior in-check). A better question may be: just how far is the reach of our planet's most resourceful? To help us answer this (which is actually the subject of derivative position paper📄) is the enigmatic Mr. Alphabet himself.
¶Mister Alphabet (real name: Dwight Mann) is the world's richest person, by far (more than double in wealth of the next richest person on the list). With Brandywine ties (he possesses a Wharton MBA and a Princeton engineering degree -- I modeled him after Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, and Robert Pera, and now you know🙂), this 👟tennis shoe-wearing, hoodie-sporting guru may also be one of its most intelligent. An extremely ambitious entrepreneur, Mann actually is a quite respected and rational leader as he heads Nile, LLC, a garage-to-megalith company that he built over the years. No one takes this guy lightly, and his business regularly makes international news almost with every acquisition, quarterly report, product announcement, and, most recently, search for additional office space.
¶Nile, LLC (considering that Mann is a Bezos business clone, if you put a little bit of thought into it, you'll guess that it is a nomen à clef of Amazon.com, Inc. [AMZN]) is looking to expand to accommodate its rapid growth. And by 'expansion', we mean construct a second headquarters. Already headquartered in Portsmith, Oregon, the firm is bent on planting new roots on the East Coast of the United States. After a three year bidding war between major cities (ie. New York City, Baltimore, Boston, etc.), Brandywine was declared the winner. One might think that because Brandywine is America's poorest big city[p], Dwight Mann would seize this opportunity to make a very public altruistic splash for uplifting American hardship, but nope. He's not a philanthropist, and I doubt that he ever will be. His angle in this is all business; his business.
¶Being in cargo shipping, Nile is hoping to land some major government contracts where Washington is concerned in order to keep its freight division active overseas. Brandywine is a proxy that offers interesting ports at affordable prices (since the U.S. Navy abandoned the dock -- which is actually not entirely true, but works well in this fictional storyline). To acquire it, lots of back door deals had to be made using the mysterious pseudonym "Mr. Alphabet", as prices undoubtedly would have rocketed had sellers known who the buyer actually was if the truth came to light (kind of reminiscent of the actions Walt Disney took in the 1960s to quietly purchase up grove land in central Florida in what would become Walt Disney World). Instead, to preserve the deal (which involves a very, very large investment in the City over a five-year period), favors were called in by some unscrupulous individuals, as you can imagine.
¶Meddling in municipal business, the tycoon has become a nuance to both Libitina and Lindros, having spent a fortune of his own cash in order to run the show behind-the-scenes. Taking a page from Maundy's old playbook,
Mr. Alphabet also wants to use the Jersey peninsula as his personal playground; he's contracting it for his side hustle of launching rockets into low orbit to construct a worldwide network of telecommunications satellites.
¶Allthewhile, teamsports of all avenues, is getting an overhaul from the conservative right-wing body politic that sees communal gaming being dominated by Black athletes as a public hazard. To elaborate, collegiate Black athletes are finally negotiating their self-worth (ie. superior "B-genes") at the pro-am levels,
an innovation that tips the balance of the sports landscape by dramatically shifting the bulk of advertising revenues from PWIs to HBCUs. Now schools of the latter will have the funds to do quality research and development with competitive outcomes.
To stopgap the labor drain in an effort to maintain an advantage, conferences are modifying the rules in the 11th hour. More broadly, as an embarrassing admission that these changes take precedence, Speaker Turtl has, in response to the mobility, introduced legislation on the House Floor titled 'Cotton Chains Act',
which aims to - among other things - reduce non-compliant subjects to non-profit status in the name of "education". Also snuck in the bill is a mandate calling for refugees from the Eastern Bloc to be relocated to Pennsylvania. Turtl and her pissed-off, jealous conservative cohorts have designs on "getting things back to the way they were"./// truth: Black folks have no friends nor allies, only admirers.
¶Compounding the chaos, a recent string of drug-related murders in the neighborhoods of Irish Charm has the authorities on-edge due to a slick+nasty serial killer with seemingly personal ties to Bunny.
¶In the midst of an outbreak that has quarantined large swaths of the population,
in a different section of town, there has been yet another sensationalized act of fatal violence committed toward an unarmed and presumed innocent minority at the hands of law enforcement, this time, they belong to Pascha's own partner, Bunny. Recently teamed with retired lieutenant Pascha (who is supervising as part of his community service exit interview requirements) for port security, Bunny surmises that the most opportune time to test the limits of her authority without askance will and has come while under the tutelage of one of the most controversial officers in this country's history.
On a routine traffic stop, and doubtedly 'fearing for her life', she opens fire on a seatbelted father and his young daughter, killing them both.
With no witnesses other than an unwitting Pascha, the precincts and city are left with the difficult task of explaining and defending this tragedy to the public. Questions arise: is there innocence in this case, and where to place the blame? -- and are answered quickly: blame is placed squarely on Egg Pascha, framing him. Furthermore, because of what appears to be a curtailing of a kingpin's business dealings, a hit is put out on the detective's life, endangering him. This miscarriage has put the whole country - already fragile from previous similar occurrences - on-edge.
Unfortunately for said law enforcement, the difference between other jurisdictions and the City of Brotherly Love is that she lives up to her reputation as being the most blue-collar, no-nonsense town in America, totally intolerant of brutality towards its citizens by those who have taken an oath to protect them.
They have social media and a backlog of public case studies replete with examples of no justice being brought to officers in the courts of law. Where there was hope and maybe even expectation of a drawn out trial that could potentially result in an acquittal, certain neighborhoods - exhausted from fighting for very limited resources, have other plans for dealing with the perpetrators and the interrelated corrupt justice system.
¶Egg Pascha's reputation causes this incident of police brutality to be pinned on our detective, sending the Black [B1/ADOS/FBA] demographic of the City spinning, and people are calling for his apprehension. Pascha is later arrested and must stand trial - not just for this frame job, but moreso for the mishandling of the Aegypt case (labeled "Easter" because it was filed on >March 26 of that year) in 1978 to which he has been tied. Unsatisfied, the People form militias and start an insurrection - reminiscent of the local Flying Horses riot of 1834, forcing the situation to devolve into 'Helter Skelter' in the midst of this already tough election climate.
Even with a speedy in order because of deteriorating health, a mistrial looms and Pascha is bailed out of jail by his longtime buddy, Alven - who is in town honoring a widower's pact that tests his fealty to the max, resulting in the two of them becoming fugitives subjected to a manhunt during Holy Week.
¶Enter
¶In the wake of this, we have me (lnq👨🏿🦱) as a disgruntled civilian, who, having been disillusioned with authority after his own recent encounter with the legal system moved him beyond reproach, devises a plan to carry-out what he sees is the only logical solution to stop and prevent any further foul play against his community - the extermination of all police departments, fire stations, hospitals, regional National Guard, and the dismemberment of local officials (eg. those elected, ombuds, prosecutors, etc.) for whom they serve. The peaceful, polite way to do this? -run for political office. Otherwise, he is even willing to take his cause further - carnage: orchestrate an all-out war against anybody who is in disagreement with his self-reliance/self-preservation, protectionist philosophy. Inevitably, random persons are made at fault and no one is a safe target. He rationalizes being his own judge+jury (however sadistic) by using the survival of the fittest evolutionary tactic.
¶Before being sentenced to a hospital for a non-violent offense, lnq👨🏿🦱 was working specifically under a federal grant (a weeks-long hackathon sponsored by the U.S. Forest Service) at a firestation to build+research urban watersheds for a statewide 'green' ("healthy") initiative. His findings were that somebody was 'poisoning the well', so to speak with neurological agents deliberately placed into the drinking water of targeted African-American (B1/ADOS/FBA) neighborhoods in Brandywine and Bucks County. His investigation led him to discover that this had been done perhaps intentionally by an intra-organizational conspiracy.
¶When he went to report his findings to his superiors, he was immediately re-assigned, and the project spec dismantled. He was later falsely labeled, timely laid-off, and then framed for three counts of tampering with federal equipment. Each count held up to one year as punishable by law. Because these were minor trespasses, the authorities decided to ship him interstate to a psychiatric ward in Deer Lodge, Elsewhere for his sentence (1,000 days).
¶While on the inside, with his freedoms gone, he did plenty of introspection. He may have tried to find religion to some degree, or at least what it means to be 'religious' in the midst of Hell, by sampling the unit's library. But then decided that he's actually not a coward nor a punk; that it's actually against his best interests to seek false protection from others who were legitimately sick.
¶With all of his learning and understanding, he found some things about the Holy Bible to be astonishingly peculiar to him.
After reading the Good Book from cover-to-cover, he began to believe that he was blessed, not cursed. His psychosis became more potent over the course of his sentence, and had gotten to a point in schizophrenia where he totally converted to his own belief system ad absurdum where he interprets the Universe as a personal neuron[b], and the Bible as one big astrotheological tarot card reading (I truly believe in and stand for this, btw)./// The game, then, is to overcome by jailbreaking this neuron.
¶What he found came directly from three books in the Bible: Genesis, Deuteronomy, and Revelation (ie. the first, the fifth, and the last). He would nitpick all three to make his case that religions are the works of the Devil which have left B1 as the authentically 'cursed' people (the only group possessing enough strength/soul/whatever to handle + persevere) referred to in the Scriptures, and, thus, justify his crusade for manumission. Chapters+verses from:
📯Genesis 15:13 - "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;"
Deuteronomy 28:15-68, but especially verse 68, he noted that They came over to the New World cast in irons on slave ships, are generally considered to be "of confused mind" (ie. lacking high intelligence), called bywords (eg. 'nigger'), etc.: 📯"And the Lord will bring you back in ships to Egypt, a journey that I promised that you should never make again; and there you shall offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but there will be no buyer."
Revelation 3:7-13: 📯"To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches."
The Revelation passage, especially, convinced him of "Philadelphia" (his hometown) (as) being the last remaining of the Seven Churches, and that his followers (if any) - fitting a description of them being descendents of "Abram" because they were the people freed by U.S. president "Abraham Lincoln"- would come from her when called. Figuring that his ancestral African slaves (biblical 'Egypt') were brought to American (Virginia) shores in August 1619, that era (between then +430 years = 2049) is now (or, at least a case of history repeating itself to a new application of people), he thinks, especially since the ruler planet Neptune[g] is at home in the sign of Pisces (12th house representing closure) during this final transit (April 4, 2011 - January 26, 2026) of his lifetime./// No, these are not the so-called Black Hebrew Israelites, nor Beta Israel.
¶So, when we get introduced to lnq👨🏿🦱 in the church scene alongside Dominique, we know that he's at the tail-end of his spiritual journey. From his personal failings, he has arrived at an inevitable conclusion: that because it may be difficult to thrive under oppression, he should not co-exist with his oppressor(s). His deduction is that if God has cursed/intentionally punished Black people without fair understanding or just rationale, and that if God is the only thing standing between himself and winning, then God must perish./// My thesis is to consider that the Bible speaks of a monotheistic attempt to control randomness in order to prevent the rise of a singular extraordinary individual labeled as the 'Antichrist' -the anomaly who is the real protagonist when you factor in that Jesus and Satan are both the same entity -the morning star. The B1 Negro was/is/has the prototypical genome equipped with all of the tools needed to achieve this, since it contains hereditary bits of all others' genes via evolution.
¶That mode of thinking catapulted him into the depths of anguish and back again, where he began irreversible experiments of self-mutilation. These actions ended up costing him his arm in the process, which was later replaced with a bionic prosthetic.
¶Back in Brandywine, he now has full awareness (red-pilled) and is seething./// The antagonist (Egg Pascha) and the protagonist (lnq👨🏿🦱) have both been through soured circumstances that have left each of them embittered, with religion being the culprit. -- Pascha's infliction with Parkinson's makes him feel as if his body (First Temple) and God (Second Temple) have given up on him, and so he must be his own reckless savior (Third Temple). On the other hand, lnq👨🏿🦱 has total awareness about non-astrotheologies being a dashboard for oppression, and vows to self-correct the equation of life. They now see situations as nihilistic, and treat others accordingly. lnq👨🏿🦱 uses red pill concepts as a recruitment tool to educate his impressionable understudy, Hephaestus ("Heff") - one of the 'Four Horsemen', in the story. With little to lose, no time to waste, and realizing that he must act quickly if he is to self-fulfill a prophesy (of Armageddon and thus ending the curse, bringing forth the allure of exalted individualized deification). Accomplishing this is no small feat, as he sees enemies in regular folk as well as the corporations (viewing America itself as a corporation) -- all shareholders in corruption, and which are equally as guilty in oppressing him over time. Certain targets are harder to hit for reasons that are out of his area of expertise, but that's not going to stop him from trying.
¶Led by the vigilante, lnq👨🏿🦱, the 'Four Horsemen' (consisting of myself and henchmen - the lame boy Hephaestus + his mother Hera Juno + an architect Pallas Olopong) have made it their sole objective to exact revenge on Pascha and his ilk, forcing each to become the other's target.
Put in survival-mode, Pascha must rely on his latent military skills to navigate an intense battlefield against an AI that is playing wargames in civil war-torn Brandywine,
which itself is cocooned inside an escalating armed conflict that in a short span has - thanks largely to his own ego - red alerted President Victor Guyold's White House and the Pentagon,
as well as spawned defensive posturing from other global superpowers.
¶Stalking with a personal vendetta is Alven's brother-in-law, Dominique - fresh out of the penitentiary,
whom Egg Pascha can no longer avoid. His calls of street justice for what was done to him when they were young men now demand a final answer (actually, Dominique's main goal is strike down Ember, no matter what it takes. He is out for revenge against her particularly, as she was the one who got him locked up for decades when she was DA. Pascha is problematic for him here because he is running her security detail. Alven dealing in choices on with whom to side leads to strife.).
¶With a special political election underway, the town's entrenched power elite are out to protect themselves from this rising menace (potential civil enmity) at considerable cost.
Their tentacles run deep. Pascha's entire flotilla [spearheaded by Admiral Goode] turns against him (forcing him into absolute fugitivity), leaving him embroiled in a search for the truth about his colleagues, the city, and own future.
Ironically, when he needs to be the most, he is perhaps at the least selfish point in his life; careless of what happens to himself, Egg Pascha desperately wonders if he can repair his broken relationships before it is too late?
For even though he is hard on dying, his last bit of luck is a currency that must be spent.
🗓due August 3, 2025 - November 11, 2025
(overture: Days 0 ["MURDER"]) - /// The pilot webisodes are 2d cinema before the story moves to incorporate hyperreality.// --The title "Days 0" implies that its events are non-linear, unlike the rest of the program whose events supposedly happen in realtime. Timeline-wise, this part of Days 0 takes place in the middle of the last two acts during the civil war that is occurring in Brandywine. Implications from this scene lead to Egg Pascha getting arrested.
¶Egg Pascha is in trouble. Our boy is wanted for murder, actually. Framed? Perhaps. But, let's not deny that he's done his fair share of dirt of over the past few decades, and it's only a matter of time before karma catches up to him. One would think - or like to - that somebody gains more friends and compassion from others as they age. Well, it's just the opposite for Pascha, and it's sad, really.
¶The charges levied against him are substantial, but really are the least of his worries. These days, senescence has his mind going. Time seems to be flying by faster and faster for him. If his brain stops working, is he technically dead? He might as well be. By the looks of it there are those that want him gone. That sucks. We're talking about an old man here, have they no mercy? Nope. Brandywine is full of the four C's: crooks, corruption, crime, and those with a crabs-in-a-pot mentality. He may be having a difficult time remembering his past, but the City doesn't forget. He's back at home, right at home.
¶A saving grace, if we are to call it that, is that Egg Pascha has help. In order to get it, though, he must assist in solving an open criminal case that's not yet cold, but sits at lukewarm. That help comes in the form of much needed medication for his neurodegeneration. It also comes disguised as a buddy cop named Bunny. He's had on-duty partners in the past, but they don't seem to last long because he works better alone. On this case, so does Bunny. She's not a nice person, nor does she pretend to be. It doesn't help that she has built-in ill-will towards Pascha. Bunny has issues with men in general, doesn't like old people, and 'hops' around labs and crime scenes as she pleases - like her name suggests. Pascha only slows her down. That tension makes the temperature drop, further chilling the case. Still, everybody gets one true friend in Life, and for Egg Pascha that's Alven, his longtime companion who is there acting as his power of attorney and moves at a similar speed.
¶lnq👨🏿🦱 is our favorite 🧩puzzler who is more of a freedom fighter these days (at least in this story). After digging into his history, lnq👨🏿🦱 is confused as to why Egg Pascha is such a celebrated man? Afterall, he destroyed a plaza in Los Angeles, obliterated an airport and transportation system in the nation's capital, rummaged through New York City, and almost caused a nuclear war in Ukraine. It's people like that who should be locked up, not roaming freely. His personal beef with Pascha is that he is working directly for Ember Libitina, the corrupt mayor whom he believes is underhandedly keeping Brandywine's crime statistics to a personal quota.
¶Together, lnq👨🏿🦱 and Bunny take a break from their respective public servant duties in Brandywine to pay a visit to Ric Flair - world-famous wrestler - in Georgia. Planning to retrieve and use the information to blackmail Pascha, they seek confirmation to the rumor that Flair may have been romantically involved with Pascha's now-dead ex-wife and fathered her daughter, Lily, sometime in the late 1970s. A visit to Flair, a discussion with him, and a DNA sample collected from him may help substantiate their hypothesis that Pascha is suffering from a mental and emotional breakdown, which is making his abuse of the law a menace to society. If true, this may be the source of his emotional/mental instability and the perfect excuse with which to frame him.
¶Flair is familiar with Pascha's old exploits and himself is left bewildered at the request; he has his own family already, and this news, while disturbing, obviously does nothing for anyone's well-being. In fact, it leaves him feeling bullied and wondering if this cop and volunteer firefighter are the more nefarious persons than they make an individual (Egg Pascha) whom he's never met out to be.--

¶Day 0 - "MU" AN NCIS AGENT, BUNNY, IS AS RUTHLESS AS SHE IS CUNNING IN TAKING ON BRANDYWINE'S CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD BY HERSELF, SUCCUMBING TO PASSION ALONG THE WAY.
--Harkening backwards somewhat to create a referential plot point, Bunny has just deciphered clue codes that allow the cold case of Felix Yota to begin to thaw in the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary (USCGA) unit's ongoing months-long investigation of his brutal murder (victim's head crushed, mutilated genitalia, beating, etc.). It turns out that the victim was dating an intern of Mayor Libitina. There are suspicions that Bunny had somehow been involved in the crime from the start, and was protected by the mayor herself as a favor. Hence, we can see why she is rising in the ranks rather quickly.
¶A new assignment is underway for the talented young officer who is being quickly promoted through the ranks of the Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS): a dragnet is on for "Theo", the pest giving the mid-Atlantic a major headache. Bringing him to justice could lead to great rewards and coveted recognition that comes along with it. With the assistance of her connections to the city government and dubious ties to the criminal underworld, this shouldn't be a problem, and wouldn't be if she can just do things her way.--

(epilogue: 00:00 Good Friday - 06:00 Easter Sunday [war/tribulation]) - //This part of the show is nearly entirely interactive. Viewers are to use their mobile devices to help Egg Pascha and Alven make choices according to on-screen decision trees. The action takes place over a gamemap in realtime (approximately 54 consecutive hours), so this is by far the longest part of the program.// -- Alven has just broken Egg Pascha out of jail during the tailend of Maundy Thursday night. Around the cityscape - in the wake of carnage instigated by lnq👨🏿🦱, tensions have already escalated to the point of civil war all throughout Brandywine, and the Pentagon has gotten involved. Wanted dead or alive, Pascha is the presumed treasonous black op (someone codenamed "John McClane"), but since Alven remains by his side, both of them are issued expendable and marked for death.
¶Wild animals have broken out of the Philadelphia Zoo and are now populating the streets, the airports are shuttered, waterways blocked, plus bridges and other landmarks have been destroyed, leaving the township in rubble with no lateral (longitudinal/latitudinal) exit points and encroaching tactical foot soldiers with instructions to kill on sight. Utilities have been cut off. Police stations, fire houses, and hospitals are either detonated or otherwise unavailable.
People are factioned, scared, frantic, hiding, and many of them are armed with limited munitions but clueless of what comes next. There is no easy escape; this is war, prepare to die hard. 
¶The already decimated battlefield technically starts under the cover of darkness beginning at midnight (00:00) on Good Friday.
From Pascha's perspective, after the jailbreak, he needs to make it to the other side of town where his daughter, Lily - desperately hoping to be rescued, is being held hostage by the unorthodox pairing of Gunyo+Theo for personal gain. Even though they may not have the best relationship, the good father in him vows to use this chance to make up for lost effort with Lily. ...and still not caring as the clock ticks, the notorious 'SAINT BERNARD' needs specific information/intel for their mercenaries that only she possesses, by Monday's deadline. The hired guns (a rogue platoon of ex-government paramilitary contractors led by the imposing Iggy Veracruz) have been duped into this dire situation,
so they're betting that the payout/reward for them is huge.
¶Now, in order to get to that location (which is on a beached corvette), 
he (and Alven) must first peripatetically (however, the cab driver, Smiley, is always only a whistle away) traverse a hostile terrain of armed civilians and military servicemen tracking him/them,
which, more than likely, will take a considerable amount of realtime (the full duration) to arrive at Lily's workplace.
"Gangsters move the way they do because they secretly want to die. Thugs move the way they do because it's no secret that somebody has to die." - lnq👨🏿🦱
¶The military🪖 campaign portion itself comes courtesy of the chapter's
generative AI - prompted by Theo and sprinkled with Gunyo's holograms - actively playing wargames, having programmed inputs/outputs to regurgitate a modernized reenactment of the historical 'Philadelphia campaign' (1777-1778) of the American Revolutionary War from the vantage point of Valley Forge. This includes thirteen 'battles' that are in no specific order (only used here as plot devices to drive the action): BATTLE OF BRANDYWINE, BATTLE OF COOCH'S BRIDGE, BATTLE OF GERMANTOWN, BATTLE OF WHITE MARSH, BATTLE OF GLOUCESTER, BATTLE OF THE CLOUDS, BATTLE OF MATSON'S FORD, BATTLE OF QUINTON'S BRIDGE, BATTLE OF PAOLI, SIEGE OF FORT MIFFLIN, BATTLE OF BARREN HILL, BATTLE OF RED BANK/FORT MERCER, and BATTLE OF CROOKED BILLET. 
¶Suffice it to say that the black op, "John McClane", being the hot target creates an unlikely alliance between lnq👨🏿🦱 and Alven+Pascha+Smiley joining forces as the storyline's third edition of the 'Four Horsemen' against (Gunyo) Gruber+Theo in a
game of cat-and-mouse. This story unfolds to conclude on Easter Sunday at 06:00.
I am autistic. [definition: autism :== neuroplastic battle between neurogenesis (NG) versus neurodegeneration (ND), where ND>NG by at least 1 byte]
My work is trying to flip this, so that NG+1 > ND. This is what I call 'steWAR', serving as play therapy for me (and, frankly, it's the last great war -and the only real thing worth fighting for)./// Some people complain that this is "bizarre" or "weird" to them. That's okay. It makes perfect sense to me -the only person for whom it was meant (and no one else), anyways. I might be a lunatic;p I've tried to make this exposition as simple + colorful as possible. If you can get something of value from it, great.
??[EMOJI]I (lnq🧑🏿) randomly walk on a #threaded feedback loop to ctf🎮🪖 {&& 0b_¢} the Stewpot (linker from all 2,028 stews) ++ STUBE^solve -jailbreaking my 🧠nervous filesystem [STU thread.kernel=lnq]--> ie. *\:==avatar?stewellis🦸🏿♂️.root.uid=0;[/exploit🔐] -- // Egglepple [directory] + its companion -UUe [protocol], "stewy" (STU) gymnastics = stew choreography (stewcing,stubing) [neuroinformatics], Stewdio [hashtable], steWAR [capture the flag (ctf)], Stewpot [linker], stewellis [nervous filesystem (n-fs)], and StewE [ai/o] all feature in this exploit of 👨🏿🦱lnq's 8-qubit virtual nerve (@08.gl)./// takeway: I'm trying to resolve my autism by gaming its neurology. I've set this whole thing up as a capture-the-flag (ctf), where the flag is something called the "Stewpot" - which is the totality of all 2,028 'stews'. Moreso, capturing the flag in a single day (statistically j=1/370, so j/365) is the goal, because that seems to be the only amount of time everybody is fairly given.
+Obviously, "stew" is derivative of "STU" (and "ellis" is a slurring of my initials 'L.S.'), and as silly as it sounds, there is a tremendous amount of reasonable computability behind the madness; whence considering that the 🧠brain is the ultimate quantum computer.
+The qubit part stems from the concept of bits (binary digit) in computer architecture (1 byte = 8 bits). Here, each qubit (1-of-8) represents a letter of the word "uuelcoME", which I interpret -omically, like 'genome' or 'chromosome'. With uuelco.ME (my emoji/domain all about 'me'☺️), I'm telling a story - a requiem - called Stewart in eight (8) parts or 'qubits' (namespace=reverse). It's about me going from a young boy (little Stew) to becoming a grown man (Stewperman = most privileged version of my avatar, lnq👨🏿🦱 -- hint: Starbureiy=ring0) and solving the STUBE, thus, mastering the Stewniverse by conquering my autism.
The basis of my work revolves around the following
Conjecture
Any and every permutable computation (permacomp) can be solved in a minimax of twenty (20) moves.
proof:
I'll begin with the following
Lemma 1
All topologies can be reduced to a length of dimension=1 (1-dim=string), and made twistable (twistor=sesquilinear dyad [u,u]) in 26 dimensions.
proof:
Superstring theory (bosonic case, ignoring twistorspace of lowest bounds).
--> The strings are referred to as 'super' because their supersymmetric properties partner bosons (integer spin) and fermions (1/2-integer spin), comprising elementary matter.
definition: twistorspace (or twistor space as I used to write it) :== a complex configuration space (eg. geometric topology) of solutions to the twistor identity ||f(u,u)=0||. Note that in a folding scenario, the twistor (u,u) :== a complex transform (ie. a tight [≤ handicap] walk) of STU solved from stew choreography (:== the process of stereotyping STU by keyframing twistor batches called 'stews').
definition: folding :== differential steps in the process of a brane's [from 'membrane', a brane :== some mathematical generalization of a category from zero (0) or more higher dimensions. A combination of branes is called a mesh] animation (ie. symmetry-breaking) as it assumes its final topology. My portfolio, Egglepple, is a 26-dim toy with braneworld structure according to pitch class:
0-brane = point particle
1-brane = string
2-brane = manifold/sheet/tape
3-brane = cell
.
.
.
25-brane = Starbureiy automaton --> :== a machine that can self-sufficiently perform (ie. transition through) a walk given some stated input, self-alphabetizing its tape.
For the most part, "to fold" an object is to bend, compress, twist, or otherwise permute it so that it becomes self-integrated according to its calculus. By-and-large, we accomplish this using 'fruut' as part of stew choreography. A fold would be an intermediate state within the walk process (preimage→image).
definition: SMALL brane :== as permutations of Egglepple, there are two (2) SMALL branes - a 0-brane and a 1-brane - comprising their own (lowest-level) class./// In terms of stewcing, the 0-brane is associated with some flageolet pencil.
definition: BIG brane :== as permutations of Egglepple, there are twenty-four (24) BIG branes that comprise its/their own class - the 2-brane through 25-brane. Technically, these branes are any branes other than the SMALL branes [(0,1)-branes], and themselves are permutable.
definition: a string :== 1d open or closed harmonic oscillators.
glossary: Egglepple :== 🧑🏿lnq's portfolio and middle name. {by 'portfolio, I mean as in porting from one directory of the 🍃leaf (recto=preimage) to the other directory (verso=image) of some function space. On the basis of quoting, fault tolerance increases with each proof and is infinite when completely solved (/totally sequenced).}
Statistically, it is the animorphic (ie. to STUn) tape of leaf🍃 definitions (literally "egg leaf ↔ epp leaf"), and subjectively the cellspace (SMALL∪BIG ⊂ Stewniverse) spooling both ends of any generic 26-measure signal; but, mathemusically, the minor and major scales. --Egglepple is what we are imaging (by stewcing/vending its calculus, STU, via gameplay. To make a Humpty Dumpty allusion, we break up the brane into finite pieces, only to put it back together again continuously.).
definition: a spread's coverage (c) [cover-patch identity] :== the twistorspace posture (knot🪢 formation) for statistically graphing a [supersymmetric] zone on(to) some pitch (ie. fibor-bundling a set of BIG + SMALL branes). Since there are 100 different covers (0-99) that can be patched 26 different ways (a-z), there exists a total of 2,600 discrete coverages. --An example would be something like [(cover-34,patch.g) = coverage 34g].
As cryptographic shape schemes [puzzles🧩], coverages are fundamentally combinatorial; spanning the entire range of branes(SMALL + BIG). A coverage can be (strategically) both preventive and responsive.
definition: as c=2(b-1)/2 {b∈ℤ→26, /max=25 (0-25) || b = brane count [which is of the sesquilinear form (e-,e+)]}, an egg :== the coverage's resultant as an integer spin statistic (positive parity[+])./// +The formula is in direct correlation to spin-statistics. So, for example, when b is odd, say b=7, then c(=8) is an integer-spin (egg). When b is even, say b=4, then c(=2.82842712+) is a half-integer-spin (epp). The rational portion (floating point) of half-integer statistics contributes to seigniorage. Obviously, any negative value for b will yield an epp.
+Yes, there are twenty-six (26) integer values here; we denote "0" as (0-,0+) → having both negative(-) and positive(+) polarity in twistorspace. For instance, -12 ... (0-,0+) ... +12 = [26]. The total number of coverages, c, is an upperbound for points on a curve, and so its number line must include 0 (hence 0 through 25). However, because any b=0 gives nonsensical values [error codes], the zeroes are discounted, and lower and upper bounds are just eleven (11). The minima (cover-0 = -11) is 0.015625 and the maxima (cover-25 = +11) is 32.
definition: as c=2(b-1)/2 {b∈ℤ→26, /max=25 (0-25) || b = brane count [which is of the sesquilinear form (e-,e+)]}, an epp :== the coverage's resultant as a half-integer spin statistic (negative parity[-])./// +The formula is in direct correlation to spin-statistics. So, for example, when b is odd, say b=5, then c(=4) is an integer-spin (egg). When b is even, say b=8, then c(=11.3137085+) is a half-integer-spin (epp). The rational portion (floating point) of half-integer statistics contributes to seigniorage. Obviously, any negative value for b will yield an epp.
definition: stew (stack e:e w) :== twistor batch (as the most basic generator processing). It is conjectured that Egglepple's movements [closed circuits] exist between amplitudes on a cryptograph. These motifs - known as stews - are analogous to string tunings, and aid in the stereotypography of fibor.
Ludologically, as the definitive endgame🏁, we are said to find a stew at the normalization of twistorspace where a dyad is an identity; that is, when an opus' measurable and permutable extrema [maxima] commute (ie. idempotent yield deviation ≡ 0 --that is, fret = 26¢ WITH handicap = $676.00. Cryptologically, a stew (an exploit) :== the transactor between the supremum and the infimum of hashes where the resultant is optimal/most secure🔐 (ie. transaction with no tax). Therefore, no fibor can be larger (in terms of twistorspace) than a stew.
According to jukebox operation (jbop) (rotisserie), the complete count of stews (f) is simply ballet🩰 coordination in sesquilinear form, so f=1,352 [from encrypted (676) plus decrypted (676) classes] × 1.5 = 2,028 [comprising four dyadic types: 507 (integer-integer), 507 (half-integer-half-integer), 507 (integer-half-integer), 507 (half-integer-integer)]. Each opus leaf set contains three (3) stews as a statistical mean./// A full sequencing of the payload ("uuelcoME") should reveal all motifs [Q♭].
Each stew ['brane cell'] is some derivative monomer (ie. portfolio plot) of Egglepple [e:e statistics]. As a potential inflection point. Stews - which, concatenated, determine the size of a string - are the 'building blocks' measured📐 from twenty-six (26) keys (A-Z) [hashed from STU], which, when choreographed, construct a mesh./// The stew may be an analogue of a specific polymer, typically a biopolymer (almost always a polypeptide). The 'jukebox' stereotypes a preimage (some 'loopstring' configuration) to this image.
definition: flageolet pencil (or just pencil✏️, or krayon) :== a finite n-dimensional cell (which can propagate like a cellular automaton) that is subject to rhetorical arrangement (ie. variation). Thus, a pencil is quantum by proxy. Ludologically, a pencil is a toy; mathematically, a pencil would be an element on the number line. It is a metric generator (musically: metronome or counter); equivalent in most instances to a hash, stew, residue, or brane declension (eg. 0-brane). Normally, flageolet pencils are not colored./// The twenty-six varieties stem from the fact that The Origamic Symphony🎶 spans 26 measures in relation to STU.
Flageolet pencils lay the foundation of stew choreography; they are intonation points in cheironomy, and can be used to draw tape and/or establish melodies+grooves. Pencils may concatenate or split among themselves (this is called interaction). They are the motifs of string (à la "integration-by-parts"). There are twenty-six (26) different varieties of pencil(s). When measured, each pencil is worth some integer [1-26] multiple of one-hundred (100) ¢ents🪙.
definition: as a signal, The Origamic Symphony™℗ (Q♯) :== runtime normalizing (hyper/hypo = 0) lnq🧑🏿's movements./// This represents the totality of keys in sequence, forming the basis of our playback.
Resting atop the hypothesis that every brane arrangement is (geometrically) convertible, solvable, and scorable, Q♯ is responsive to the calculus of Egglepple resonances (the program of the portfolio imagined as frets pertinent to stereotyping STU).
The Symphony treats the entire portfolio (Egglepple) as a (single loopstring) path integral (line) subject to integration (including integration-by-parts [the twisting of flageolet pencils]) and derivation. --All walks are integrated in twistorspace, and output some stew derivative./// +The Origamic Symphony is the subject of 🧑🏿lnq's recital. -- Egglepple can also be thought of as the signal relay.
+Here "origami" specifies "p-brane (membrane/frame) folding". Namely, it is the twisting of measures (length) between the Planck and bigger data.
definition: fibor :== an automaton that is a unique and totally twistable ||f(u,u)=0|| crypto mesh (cluster) of links (L) which is subject to stewcing. There are two (2) classes of fibor: MONEY and bubblegum. This is a tertiary (stereo) isoform of Egglepple.
Fibor is a functional component (dyadic fluctuator) of twist economics; hashed to output some image. Each fibor is both its own structural formula and memory address. As part of the endgame🏁, we care mainly for the ludological aspect(s) of stewcing (topology, rhetoric, mechanics, etc.), as they relate to identification and function attribution./// +Mathematically, fibors are trivial zeroes (compared to stews which are non-trivial zeroes).
+Fibor is the 'print' (or vending) stage. This would be the total algorithm input assigned from stew choreography. Gameplay-wise, stubers should aim to get here as quickly as possible.
+For purposes of imaging, the loopstring may be a simple topological schematic, serving to illustrate some animation directive.
+Just to reiterate, our primary interests are not in figuring out the science (eg. chemistry, biology, physics, etc.) behind the folding (chemical bonding, dipole moments, things of this nature are left to such experts). We are chiefly concerned with "writing a playbook", so to speak, that will enable anyone to generate algorithms (plays) for configuring polymorphisms and coordinating meshes.
+We must be careful with our vocabulary. Yes, fibor is stringy, but it is not a requirement that it be physical, per se. It just necessarily assumes the properties (namely that it can vibrate in multiple dimensions) of strings as it propagates into worldspace. In this case, we are concerned strictly with string dynamics (incorporating the landscape vacua philosophy). However, fibor - in the mold of stew choreography - is open/closed in some arbitrary volume, whence it is attached to a dynamical mem(brane). Oddly, however, there exists a method to start with Planck data, and work our way up to normalization with Gallivan folding (g-folding).
definition: normalization :== aka 'optimal tuning', crypto normalization, or, plainly, normalization, :== regulating links (:== coupler of two or more objects. Topologically, a link is a non-intersecting collection of knots🪢. A link is also a single element comprising a chain. -- Additionally, it refers to a discrete brane 'hyperlinked' to other branes in some cellular automata scheme.) so that the stewc tax (a limiting quotient) is load-balanced when perturbations to the router are overweighted [eg. excess tokens].
The eventuality that - because the jukebox can purse (taxation is a debit function) but not bank - a crypto normalization implicates stewcing as complexity-agnostic at inflection points [instances where hyper/hypo ↦ 0], would bias the Pink Poem to tipping (concavity or convexity).
definition: stewc tax :== (intrinsic to u-u economics, stewc tax or simply tax) residue (pip#) from stewcing as a dyadic fluctuator (ie. fungibility maintenance = standard excise) that stems (inspirationally) from curvature over finite fields (redefining algebraic curves in terms of floating-point arithmetic); with non-trivial zeroes lying on the critical line, 1/2 + ir, where i is an imaginary number, and r is a real number {ir completes the twistorspace value}.
definition: stew choreography :== the process of stereotyping (brane-folding) STU using fruut to keyframe [sequence/map by linking] stews. This is our "proof-of-work" ('proof-of-space') concept [ie. stewcing exercise for 'meshing' uuelcoME's cryptocommodity (¢ents🪙)], and should solve twistorspaces (via encryption).
Per gameplay, stew choreography (or 'dribbling' [endpoint control]) forms a loopstring's middlegame (ie. walk). The Stewdio is used natively [default] for improvising./// +stew choreography is a type of animation (interpolation of frames).
+Such choreography is inferred by "the ballet of The Origamic Symphony🎶". The reason this ballet is necessary is to anticipate dividends. We say that stew choreography is "to γ-proof l-string".
+Any proof-of-work must be validated with a signature/handshake.
+Every single stew on a loopstring must be affected for a yield to be accurate.
Lemma 2
Stews can be transformed as Rubik's Cube groups.
proof:
It is conjectured that Egglepple's movements [closed circuits] exist between amplitudes on a cryptograph. These motifs - known as stews - are analogous to string tunings, and aid in the stereotypography of fibor [:== an automaton that is a unique and totally twistable ||f(u,u)=0|| crypto mesh (cluster) of links (L) which is subject to stewcing].
Corollary
Solving RC groups in terms of molecular dynamics at the natural base speed of femtoseconds is physically infeasible for a human, and must be done virtually. The STUBE is a virtual Rubik's Cube. The puzzle🧩, then, is to devise/train an algorithm ( =StewE) to solve or assemble any configuration state of the STUBE given the following budgetary constraints: less than 20 moves per solve (set spatial upperbound) within some event frequency of (1/370)d./// There are a total of 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible permutations of a Rubik's Cube.

As potent as it is, ai comes nowhere near the capacity of the human brain🧠 in terms of speed, scaling, or energy management. (psst! ai still hasn't reliably solved a Rubik's Cube in less than 20 moves[n], which is the necessary threshold for finding optimal fold structures) Another question often asked is, "Why not just use off-the-shelf software[2][v] built specifically for said science?". --Mainly because those products are bloated, making the learning curve too wide for beginners (our target market), ultimately lowering our contribution knowledge base. The Cube, on the otherhand, is based on very simple math, so it is the better option./// trivia: the Rubik's Cube is the world's bestselling toy.
lnq👨🏿🦱 demo STUBE solve with bionic arms (ai)
Solving the Cube requires a certain amount of ingenuity, regardless of the type of intelligence (articial vs. organic). 100M tokens (here token = second/data) worth of data should be enough for a human to creatively solve any scramble; I know this has to be true because the Rubik's Cube can be solved by a 3 year-old[c] child. 
The cubing community already has an extensive library of
algs and solves that I'm going to apply to peptides for a new training stack. Automation enables me to stube [ie. put into a virtual speedcube and completely solve by mapping folding products to their 1 of 27 respective cubic blocks/cells (stewc --> stube)] each molecule with relative quickness. Compiled results (grouped by #hashtag before being fed to a neural network) may then be submitted to their respective academic journals and/or labs./// Notes: +I'm not a medical professional, but I anticipate plenty of follow-up questions to which I'll preface that any pharmaceutical or clinical discussion to be had should only come after solutions are posted. For now, this is an activity that I just do for myself as play therapy, with no further ambition. Even if strategies are adopted, residual scientific papers published, and a bunch of really smart people come to a consensus, it (as does any legally marketed medicine) will still need FDA approval.
+The 2024 Chemistry Nobel laureates won for their work on 'computational protein design'[h]. What I'm doing here with stubing is moreso related to the 'protein folding problem'; resolving the dynamics of Levinthal's paradox[l] exactly. Together, both halves constitute a breakthrough in drug discovery. ✓purpose
¶Obviously, I could justscript a Rubik's Cube simulator (something like this), change a few of the colors around to match my branding, and call it a day (here's sample code for that). But, biochem requires more robust paneling (for cluster analysis, notebooks, script creation, etc.) to run a full computation.¶I gotta get the Stewdio
transpiled/code refactored into a javascript (.js) canvas[d] so that functionality is automated. This step is crucial to increasing the maximal number of brute force attempts involved in online speedcubing (the chat output results are archived to spreadsheets for ml #threading --congruent to a trainable ai model). The stewdio.js will require sandboxing in a cloud service (eg. GC, Azure, AWS) before deployment. --> what ships: code dump, executable

¶Engineering this (
ported or from scratch) might take an estimated 3-14 days (70-300 man hours) - plus a similar amount of time for testing, depending on finances. Once live, self-sustaining ad revenue should come immediately afterwards.
¶I'll then have enough of a personal energy budget (permuting peptides for me generally consumes an enormous amount of calories) moving forward to begin work on
solving (I foremost care about the topologies, not so much the functions of) the following

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative brain disorder that is the most common cause of dementia, primarily affecting memory, thinking skills, and eventually, the ability to perform basic daily tasks.
Clue/Tip: Specific strains of Desulfovibrio bacteria are likely to cause Parkinson's disease (ie. buildup of alpha-synuclein in the spinal cord and/or 🧠brain). Therefore, removing the bacteria from a person's environment/diet/gut should help prevent the disease.👍🏿

Huntington's disease (HD) is a hereditary neurodegenerative disorder that causes the progressive breakdown and death of nerve cells (neurons) in specific areas of the brain, particularly those involved in controlling voluntary movement, as well as cognitive and emotional functions. #HuntingtonsDiseasesucks
--------
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the dopamine-producing neurons in the spinal cord and/or pars compacta area of the brain called the substantia nigra. The hallmark of PD is the loss of these neurons, which leads to a deficit of dopamine, a neurotransmitter crucial for smooth, coordinated muscle movement. #ParkinsonsDiseasesucks

¶"STimulator of INterferon Genes" (acronym) is a signaling protein for detecting cytoplasmic DNA (cytoDNA). Endogenous cytoDNA can contribute to sterile inflammation (ie. no pathogens) from hyperactivation, leading to cancer (dysregular cell growth) and/or neurogeneration. <-- real nasty ish!

¶PTEN-induced kinase 1 is important for maintaining mitochondrial health and quality control, as it targets damage/degradation/depolarization to the organelle (which supplies cells with their energy source). Without PINK1 properly functioning (from, say, genetic mutations), it can't recruit enough parkin from the cytoplasm to mediate dysfunctional mitochondria. Mutations of the gene lead to the death of dopaminergic neurons, causing Parkinson's.

¶Huntingtin is essential to human life, as it is instrumental in longterm memory storage, and the axonal flow mechanisms (ie. organelle transport throughout the cell). It's a huge protein to begin with (3,144 amino acids), but is abnormally so in terms of the

¶Primarily located within the cell's lysosome (the organelle responsible for catabolic degradation of macromolecules, namely proteins/enzymes and carbohydrates), progranulin has been implicated in both cell proliferation and cell inhibition.
In both PD and AD, low granulin levels have been shown to be pathological.

¶(Serpin Family F Member 2) The serpin proteins are protease ('worker bee' enzymes that break proteins down into even smaller peptides) inhibitors. SERPINF2's role is to inhibit plasmin, itself a enyzme for degrading (breadking down) fibrin (the main protein in blood clotting), thereby maintaining hemostasis.

¶(Glutathione S-transferase P1) An enzyme (meaning that it catalyzes) with a critical role in cellular detoxification at the hydrophilic level (phase II).
Single nucleotide polymorphisms lead to different (and varied) responses to exogenous compounds (eg. drugs), including glutathione metabolism. Applied to neuropathology, GSTP1 can be like an overprotective parent, prohibiting drugs from reacting with or binding to their intended target(s), thus chaperoning oxidative stress.

¶Bridging Integrator 1 (aka Amphiphysin II) is tricky because of its various Jekyll-Hyde isoforms, which it assumes through splicing. It is involved primarily with muscle regulation (myo motility).
In at least one of its isoforms, BIN1 is known for being a tumor suppressor protein (helping prevent cells from growing and dividing too rapidly). That sounds good, but its other responsibility within cells is to kill them (programmed 'off-switch'). Now, couple that with neurons, and you could - depending on the isoform - get conditional myotonic atrophy, or neurofibrillary tangles which cause diseases like

¶The siglec (sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin) family of transmembrane glycoproteins (the 's' could just as easily be for 'sugar') regulates (cf. inhibits) immune cell function, particularly those responsible for causing inflammation in the peripheral nervous system.
Pathologically, polymorphic CD33 expresion in brain immune cells is linked to Alzheimer's.
