This is an interesting project, with philosophies to ponder and explore.👍🙂

I must confess to you what came to me in my imagination, after reading about this project. I thought of the human emotions that are being separated from all of Austen’s words in the process of deconstructing the onion. The mathematically separated emotions emerge, naked and confused, into the air. They coalesce in the air, clinging to each other in recognition and mutual support, forming a gas. This gas happens to be somewhat caustic to the surface of the human eye, due to their anxious, heightened state. Similar to the gas released when dicing onions with a knife on a cutting board, the separated emotions bring tears to the eyes. As in visual art, human emotions and expressions are stored in words, and though they are unseen, they have to go somewhere when they are separated from their words. They linger in the air, exposed and uncertain, at their unaccustomed new state of being- a cloud. You could call it a ‘word cloud’, but that would be a reductive statement of questionable tact to say to such a new and vulnerable thing.

The amount of effort you put in your book shines through with your posts, be it on LinkedIn and Substack which is what I like. Track record is all the more important to determine is someone is genuine or fluffy. You are one of the best example for the former! 👏👏

Thank you very much! I enjoy learning things that help understand reality. The hidden networks that we seldom think about are always fun to explore and learn about their existence.
