Because I wasn’t ready to write this, well, whatever it is, it presents itself less as a coherent, structured whole and more as a series of highly detailed notes that are all loosely connected to each other. I wouldn’t even call this proper philosophy; it’s more like a philosophical journal, a record of the why and the how. Because this is more of a journal than anything else, I didn’t try very hard to keep a single st
