@matt what’s the difference between a browser and an app?

@tiago my skills at reading math have faded. can you describe an intuitive lmodularity maximizing situation in the objective world?

@tiago That tendency to find clusters in randomness does correspond well with numerous natural and human phenomena. Galaxies, mountains, locations of banks, clover growing on the lawn, lumps in cooking grits, Mandelbrot sets, communication signal errors, popular & unpopular stocks on the exchange, craters on the moon, and others. Interesting what you have found. I think this has a profundity— it isn’t mere spurious interpretation. Null Hypothesis: Randomness doesn’t occur in clusters.

@tiago Good morning, Tiago.I look out my kitchen window this morning & see a bumblebee on the lavender. I turn to my browser, go to Mastodon, & see a post from Tiago. I assert ground truths: Tiago's post exists. A bumblebee exists. I infer "Tiago's post" wasn't written by Donald Trump. I infer I'm not looking at a clever 16K UHD representation of a bumblebee. I pass the Cartesian test: I think, so I exist. Both inference & empirics give us truth.

@tiago quite right. we never escape uncertainty.
