Daemon Maps
A slow-development series to be expanded over the next many months, Daemon Maps explores epistemology (how we know what we know) from the metaphor of “mapping” our knowledge through language, story, mathematics, and art. And the daemon? Well, we also have to ask for the source of that knowledge. . . .
Any complete mapping of the entirety of the universe where the Map = Territory must by definition be absolutely deterministic. All science could be predicted just as all action, a grand Theory of Everything, in which any concept we might have of human agency or Free Will would be erased.

Waywords, um, Music?
In case you missed it, Waywords has so far created two albums of music called Creative Reading, after an exercise created by the Book Oblivion community. You can find the first of these on on several platforms, including Amazon Music and Spotify.
Or members can download the entire album directly from our Drive folders!
The second album will be fully released in CD-quality sound soon. In the meantime, you can hear (and see) it here:
