trisect a cube
into 8 cubelets
(8/27ths of a rubik)
balance it on any point
color the top cubelet white
and the bottom cubelet black
the upper three-layer
red yellow blue
the lower three-layer
orange green purple
call this a crayolacube
in
antimath i explored
dozens of literary permutations
of (-, 0, +)
but using the crayolacube
we can raise that to the 3rd power
white = +++
black = ---
redyellowblue = ++-
orangegreenpurple = +--
and if we can discover
an optimal assignment
of these 3 dimensions
we should generate a
polti vocabularywith 100s or 1000s
of distinct story skeletons
try
(happy, healthy, good) for white
(unhappy, unhealthy, evil) for black
(
pullman's satanic yhwh
was also sickly and sad)
but the trick here is to recognise
that (red yellow blue) don't represent
the 3 virtues
but rather the 3 vices
each polluting virtuous white
to a minimally diluted primary
say blue = sad
yellow = sickly
red = evil
and orangegreenpurple
are then doubly dilute
orange = evil and sickly but happy
(think montgomery burns)
green = sickly and sad but good
(a tragic dickens martyr-heroine)
purple = evil and sad but healthy
(kissinger?)
((could even jill st john make him smile?))
now we can paint the worldtree
yellow plagues lopping branches
blue moods
driving emos and scandinavians
to suicide
red wickedness usurping
political and economic power
children born innocent/white
yellowing occasionally with measlesmumpschickenpox
evil parents necessarily
breeding unhappy children
increasingly unhappy blue during adolescence
all experimenting with a little red evil
drinks drugs sex cruelty
happiness destroyed
(blue green purple black palette)
or health destroyed
(yellow orange green black palette)
some committing to evil
(red orange purple black palette)
maybe just until a brush with
black misery and death
reawakens their conscience
take any single human branch
and straighten it into a baton
the baton's sequence of crayola colors
is one possible view
of that person's life 'movie'
happy or sad
short or long
rich or dull
selfish or selfless
(is there much correlation here
to favorite music genres?
blue-emo red-metal white-gospel?)
happy palette: white yellow orange red
healthy palette: white red purple blue
good palette: white yellow green blue
