Captains log - Cyberspace date 2022-01-11 - "The Hyper maze trap of the elusive hacker"

 I don't know exactly what planted cognitive/mental seed gave rise to this dream.

I dreamt of trying to catch a hacker in my system.

In the middle of the act.

I visualised this as creating a trap.

Once the hacker was at a certain location in some system-space, the trap was activated.

The was a sense of "heureka" perceived at my half awake half dreaming state.

As I became more and more lucid the clarification of this feeling somewhat evaporated.

Gradually another idea formed. A maze, within which, this hacker was trapped in the middle.

By this time, I was awake. I felt that the idea needed some extra dimensions. So I visualised the problem in n-dimensions, where the way out would have to go through all the n dimensions of this hyper-maze.

Yet another thought experiment to play around with, with my son.

I went to look for a fun book of mazes I bought at the Mathematics Museum in New York 2017.

I showed it to my boy to see if it would capture his imagination. 

Yes it did. Everything engages his curious playful mind. But to varying degrees. We were in a morning hurry and I think the way he gets really interested is by example. Essentially my own engagement and immersion or obsession with learning and understanding various things, inspires him. Somehow my enthusiasm and dedication induces the desire to explore and know more about this exotic, intellectual, mystical, abstraction that me, his father is currently captivated by. This sparks curiosity and sometimes equal enthusiasm, while introduction in a more explicit manner, does not to the same degree, it seems.

Glutathione

Glutathione   Glutathione  is a tripeptide molecule composed of glutamic acid , cysteine , and glycine . It is one of the most important antioxidants produced by the body and has a wide range of functions. Here are some of the functions of glutathione: 1.

Constant change and the perception of exploration

  I find that my life is an explorative adventure. I explore not just the external world. But the internal world. I explore the platonic world that could be seen to be outside of both this external and internal world. The platonic world is independent of the internal world. I feel, I should define the building blocks of this thinking out loud monologue to make things less ambiguous. Defining the internal world as the perceived world or mental world. This is more complicated than it may sound.   It is not independent of the external world. The external world being defined as a physical world that exists independent of perception. To some degree this is a philosophical discussion where there is degrees of arbitrarity or bias in the way we reason about this. Us reasoning about is involves cognition and mental processes such as awareness and neurophysiological interaction of the physical external world as input. There are further questions that needs to be considered. Where does t...

Creatine supplementions effect on sleep and brain health

There have been a limited number of studies investigating the effects of creatine supplementation on brain function and sleep, and even fewer studies specifically examining the timing of creatine supplementation with respect to these outcomes. One study published in 2018 investigated the effects of creatine supplementation on sleep quality in healthy young men. Participants received either a placebo or creatine supplements (20 grams per day) for 7 days, and were instructed to take the supplements either in the morning or in the evening. The study found that creatine supplementation did not significantly affect sleep quality, and there were no differences in sleep quality between the morning and evening supplement groups. Another study published in 2020 investigated the effects of creatine supplementation on cognitive function in healthy older adults. Participants received either a placebo or creatine supplements (5 grams per day) for 24 weeks, and were instructed to take the supplement...
