I'm a software developer. I think in patterns — not as method, as condition.
The same instinct that traces a vulnerability through a program looks for the structural echo between memory allocation and non-linear thought, between the food chain and the call stack, between a fractal and a human life. Everything is a system. Systems have grammar. I'm interested in learning to read it.
7thmagpie is where that reading gets written down. The hidden is for correspondences — two apparently unrelated things turning out to be the same problem at different scales. The threshold is the active work. The spiral is the log of what's currently alive in my head.
Most things look like one thing until you look at it from the right angle.
If you found this, you were probably looking for something like it.
