Imagine a piece of tissue paper.
Coat it with cyanotype chemicals.
Fold it into an origami crane.
Let it be a crane for a while, in any place with a bit of light. Ignore it, play with it, whatever.
After a while, unfold it. Develop.
You'll get an image.
The image is the memory of it's experience as an origami crane.
Repeat. Every crane's experience - and hence every image - will be unique.
Here's 4 out of the >750 I've made so far.

I have some ecosystem questions, aimed toward trying to see how I can help contribute.
Maybe boost this to help us all learn?
* What gatherings or online spaces are connecting fediverse devs and admins? What is needed?
* Where can one find people developing products and business models to support the ecosystem? Any pitch opportunities out there?
* How can we help to make the economies of the fediverse more explicit, rather than waiting for VCs to swoop in and commercialize for us?

It is often said FOSS alternatives would lack accessible UX and aesthetics. There might be potential for a platform coop of developers and admins dedicated to further develop features that would fill this gap.
thereโs growing overlap with web3 / dao builder community ir seems (eg kernel, farcaster, lens, gitcoin).
i think weโll see an explosion of new decentralized / โcozy webโ social tools soon when the crypto is abstracted away. business models are tbd but likely token-based. i think ethereum community is closest to answers for community-based public goods funding.

@Gargron I guess a few things:
1. Let users discover posts by metadata - for example ISBN, star rating, etc.
2. Format the post in a specific way to people can see the data.
3. Let robots or other apps read the metadata to do something with it.

It makes so much sense to me that differentiation pathways in T cells(and biological processes i general) are much more flexible than currently depicted in literature! Why would a cell be fully stuck in one state with no way to return? HIgh time for studies like this to correct our current view on #immunology #memory #T cell #differentiation #gene regulation. So i look forward to read it!
