Quite Unusual Newsletter #37

Sorry about the delay in putting out this issue, was thinking it was due tomorrow. Not much happened in the past 4 weeks due to Alta hurting his back, but he has managed to make a full recovery and is back at work.

Alta worked on a prototype of a system to get descriptions of charters which involved

Learned Cozoscript by making programs to compute the following

  • the transitive contains relation
  • the transitive coverage of a body_region
  • if someone is nude
  • what outfits are worn

After running into a problem that he couldn't solve in cozo he impl functions in RustLang that do the following

  • compute the transitive coverage of body region
  • evaluate the tests on descs to see if they are applicable
  • find all outfits that are being worm

And use them to make the functions that

  • find the desc for region looking into the clothing worn for ones that override the objects self desc
  • get list all desc for an object and it's sub components that are applicable and from what object they come from

Finally, the conversation begins, bridging the gap between past and present. Words flow with a mix of sorrow and hope, as the reality of the situation settles in.
