hello
i'm not really sure what this website is gonna be. currently there are only some ants down there and i have ONE movie reccomendation that you should take a look at
i love hitting my non verbal child
why is no one signing my guestbook
i should be studying rn
playing: pokemon champions
watching: nothing
listening to: 3DOKI
obsessed with: wasting time
sometimes i wonder what abstract concepts would look like literally. like what would "imperfect" or "anger" or "interesting" look like as an object in our physical world. what combination of visuals, sound, smell, etc would make us unambiguously think "now thats imperfect", not because it's imperfect but because it IS imperfect.
well i think august in the water is such an object, though for a concept or rather feeling that we don't have a name for yet.
in the world of august in the water something is happening in the universe. something strange with the planets, something no one really understands, something entirely out of range both conceptually and physically. weird meteorites fall to earth, people fall sick to a disease, they collapse on the streets. whatever is happening, it's also having an effect on earth. yet our protagonists are still going to school (or rather skipping school), the adults go to work and festivals are held as scheduled.

03-04-2026: i created this website!
ever since my math professor at my last uni introduced me to turing machines, i have been fascinated by them. there is just something about emergent behavior that feels universally significant. its everywhere. in rules, in concepts, in atoms, in cells, in life, in consciousness?
the ants your looking at are a kind of turing machine. they act on two simple rules depending on the color of the square theyre on. they either turn left or right. and just with that you can see that sometimes they get trapped in spirals they call "highways".
to me they look like chains trying to hold back the mass in the center. eventually however they always fail. it expands until the chains themselves become part of it. not to dissimilar to the perpetual expansion of the universe and the eventual death of everything. maybe emergent behavior always succumbs to entropy in the end. so its temporary.
but then again look at the canvas when the blue mass has expanded everywhere. on the surface it looks like the complexity disappeared and whats left is a chaotic assortment of somewhat evenly spaced out blue and black pixels. yet when i look closer sometimes i see a duck. or a letter of a language i dont understand. or a screaming fish that once an ant paints over again looks like an eye looking back at me.
and the eye was always going to be there. set in stone somewhere before any ant made its first move. inevitably painted and over painted and, at some destined point in time, repainted.
they're called langton's ants if you want to know more, i linked the wikipedia article. there is so much more you could do with the ants by messing around with their rule set. what your looking at is the most basic implementation. i wish i had more time to play around with it. you can find the script i used on my github.
i'm a 19 year old uni student, i'm intrested in the brain, people say i'm dyslexic, i'm a guy, what else? nothing actually, thats it, thats me
my top 4
