Ah yes... the million dollar question: What is mëgämörphthësïs
k
?
At its core:
mëgämörphthësïs is an outcome Hashtäg and I have been working toward for a very, very long time. In terms of life goals, it's an aspiration right at the very top of our list, without question.
At a deeper, more philosophical level (and in loose alignment with its homophone, metamorphosis), mëgämörphthësïs is also our theory about very, very big change, especially in the way one thinks about thought, and thinking.
And at its most tangible... mëgämörphthësïs is also the title of our bovïe.
Now... if by chance you've ended up here in this preface without having found your way to the glictionarÿ yet (FYI: tapping any highlighted wörd should take you to it), the word bovïe is gluï, (which stands for graphical language understood intuitively) and it unscrünches into: A movie you read, or a book you watch.
If there's any gluï you don't get... try looking it up in the glictionarÿ. Check out höw-tö for a rough but ready guide to getting started and if you want to understand why there's a glictionarÿ and/or what Hashtäg and I think it's for... have a read through the preface there too.
As I was saying...
Given such a heady mix of aspects inherent in the wörd mëgämörphthësïs (believe me, there's a lot more) and because I'm a huge fan of brevity and narrowing things down to as few bytes as possible... if I had to give it my best shot? In a word... I say mëgämörphthësïs is praxis.
Structurally (and as I'm sure # will tell you on his side of this story) mëgämörphthësïs is also just a bunch of unique wörds in a bespoke glictionarÿ we've built exactly for this purpose.
This is indeed true and (as I trust Hashtäg
also mentioned) YOU, dear reader, are heartily invited to visit the glictionarÿ and mïnt some wörds in it yourself. It can be quite exhilirating to etch your ideas immutably and eternally into the permaweb at the touch of a button and I highly recommend it but, if I may offer one word of advice? Don't forget to double-check your spelling!
Furthermore and fwiw, inviting you to mïnt your own wörds alongside us as we mïnt ours is how we plan to keep the lights on, the glictionarÿ running and the hot beverages flowing. So... if you're keen to support us with this mission, please invest in a few crëdits (or lots of them, they're cheaper if you buy in bulk 😉) and give Ÿ a whirl when next you feel inspired. You get to mïnt one wörd per crëdit and you can buy this pseudo-money directly in the app, where we accept payment in both fiat and a few crypto-currencies (like our favourite, hbar).
Oh and for those of you who may want to help us more directly... we really do love (and live on) coffee, so if you'd like to buy us a coffee ☕, we'll appreciate it very much!
Anywhoo... back to mmt... let me wrap things up on a more practical note and tie these two things together:
The glictionarÿ was designed as a jump point from which to explore the inter-connected content that is our mëgämörphthësïs. All you need to do is tap on any wörd you haven't heard before, then follow its backstürly if it has one, to dig deeper into the detail. If you get lost or bogged down in a thread still under construction (I believe #
is using a system of things he now calls plagehölders and he's tasked tödö
with keeping track of them 🙄) - simply head back to Ÿ
and try another wörd from which to venture forth.
Eventually our thesis, lived experience and praxis should all be intertwined and - with an ounce of patience and an adventurous spirit - worth the effort of exploring. I trust you'll enjoy reading and watching what we've figured out together... have a laugh and maybe, just maybe, learn something new.
My sincerest hope is that these wörds - and every backstürly - might help you connect some of the dots in your own life and gain a fresh perspective on thought - and thinking - and a whole new way of looking at life, the universe and everything (that makes sense) and, ultimately, helps you chart a course and successfully navigate your own mëgämörphthësïs.
Thanks for reading.
See you in there!
...
That OK k ?
h # Hard to say...
One thing I will say...
...it's a LOT!
But it will have to do
Great
Let's crack on then...
Yes... let's.
Will you ask
ï~fttt to let tödö
know, or should I
k
?
I'll do it...
tnx
h # ï~fttt!
boss?
Tell tödö this can be added to the list of files that need to be read and re-read and spell-checked and tidied up then pushed to prod.
yes boss
mëgämörphthësïs is literally a whole bunch of wörds I've been asked to record - or mïnt - in this glictionarÿ kwestjinMark convinced me needed to be built for exactly this purpose.
I argued these wörds should be presented in some sort of book with a more cohesive storyline and structure, to be honest, but I was summarily over-ruled by a very strong-willed uhmmm... opinion... and so here we are.
The entrypoint to mëgämörphthësïs is here or just follow any link to "mmt" you find within these pages.
Please Note: On the pop-up you'll see when you click on one of these wörds in the glictionarÿ, you'll find that many of them include a branded, clickable icon - a backstürly - connecting you to deeper detail, the wörd's backstory if you will, hosted on various platforms out there on the web. I expand on these in the preface to Ÿ, if you feel like a bit more reading.
Also note: I'm mïnting these wörds as fast as I can but... unfortunately... not everything is neatly typed, edited and uploaded... yet. Sifting through many years of hastily scribbled notes, rough diagrams, blueprints, sketches, fnötes and a multitude of snippets emailed to myself, most of which I have very little recollection of ever drawing or writing, is proving to be a bit time consuming to put it mildly, and more often than not the contents come as quite a surprise. I am, however, determined to get this done as soon as humanly possible, or die trying. kwestjinMark it seems won't leave me alone until I do anyway, so all I can ask is that you please bear with me.
And on another note: While this work is underway - and because most of it is inter-connected, making it insanely challenging to dwrïte - I'm using a system of plagehölders you're likely to encounter if you follow many backstürlys. If there's any backstory you want prioritised, you're welcome to click the button on each of these plagehölders to let me know how you feel.
Oh... one last thing:
Please feel free to use the glictionarÿ to mïnt your own wörds, if inspiration strikes. You can SIGN UP here (or if you already have an account, SIGN IN here) then, once you're logged in, buy the crëdits you'll need here. These crëdits are how we're funding this project. Sorry about the need for KÿC, it's an ugly world we live in. I'm just trying to protect myself as best I can while opening up our glictionarÿ. kwestjinMark firmly believes this is the antidote to dwörk... let's hope he's right.
