dna in spacetime

number every distinct dna sequence

inventory which sequences were where when in spacetime

classify their relations

continuities and discontinuities

("The cords of all link back, strandentwining cable of all flesh.")



an organism is a collection of dna patterns continuous in spacetime

a species is a collection of entwined organisms

many species have wikipedia pages, locating them approximately in spacetime

many human organisms have wikipedia pages, tracing fragments of their continuous paths through spacetime


classify all the possible relations of human organisms

identify instances of these in wikipedia articles about individual humans

map an archetypal life (of set of lives) as a series of relations

[lame example: wikidata douglas adams]


repeat for ulysses (paths, relations, archetypes)

or better, start there

as a strongly motivated microcosm

bloom as archetype

joyce's priorities as defaults


missing from wikidata:

friends
enemies

daily routines: where when with whom doing what
(this sounds difficult for historical figures
but could be easy and fun as a form of autobiography)

costume
transport
diet
interlocutors

budget
real estate
vehicles
investments

pets
favorite artists
