Crayolacube combinatorics

starting
from the worldtree

and its
individual lifelines

isolate any
line segment
and flatten its spatial dimensions
down to just x
(with time as y)



paint this segment
using any convenient mapping
(eg the crayolacube
red-evil blue-sad
yellow-sick or -enslaved)



classify your segment by
start-color
and end-color



ignoring intermediate values
(here greyed)

notice the formal analogy
with the i ching's 64 hexgrams
permuting eight trigrams



each colorchange
within any segment
must have
causes

some expected
some unexpected



now
isolate any pair of segments
that start and end
at the same times

and classify this pair
by its two start colors
and its two end colors
(8^4 = 4096, too slow to render)



#1 of 64



sometimes the colorchange
in one segment
will help cause the colorchange
in the other segment

via
a strong or weak
linkage
strong
weak
