The architect


Numerical models can describe almost anything, in my particular field they describe a history of inequity. From individual seeds being planted in vast fields in Canada to the number of spins of gas turbines, have been counted, priced and summarized in a single number. Other models produce such similar unique numbers. I then combine all these seemingly random numbers into my model and summarize them into a singular figure.



Often times these models are best represented as properties and methods of objects and I have found it convenient to use these as building blocks for a building block for a library proper. Thus the elements that the architect needs are born. While our team is still developing the alphabet for this vast library, we are hopeful by the time the current crisis is waning, the new models will be rudimentary mirrors.

From there on we will start a quest for fire so that we may produce smoke.
