13. Formal.educational degree.progression

In 2024, Harv’s degree.progress gained traction, spurred on by the initial write / publication events provided by Blogger.  

Through Harv’s latest fifty years of lifetime, he took his two wholly.hour lifetime principles (specific.values https://whollyspirittome.blogspot.com/p/spirit-commands.html as one ‘w-holy’, the other wholly.hour lifetime is without myopic fractional hours), and he sees his brain thinking / doing 24/7 or 168 wholly.hours weekly as his chosen control period — that weekly progress control recasts his future Me-Self Illustration within his iCloud and Blogger publication.  Harv sees his “cast with a fisher’s hook as into Black Sabbath’s void”.  Harv’s earthly cast is to complete his personal post.PhD aim of write and publish, specifically of his self as a case study of Functional Organization, but that doesn’t mean his adult self organization is functional.

In his youth his education was turned over from his working single mother to the parochial school system.  Rental residences were taken to facilitate his walk to school.  From early on he was infected with lifelong learning.    His father was a functional alcoholic with no child support responsibility of any variety.

Although ‘religious’, his education was secular — a definite hindsight feel of a ‘religious’ tradition preparing the individual for a secular world of seemingly infinite challenges — this ideation has grow through all the decades of Harv’s lifetime.

Lifelong learning is the "ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated"[1] pursuit of learning for either personal or professional reasons.    Lifelong learning is important for an individual's competitiveness and employability, but also enhances social inclusion, active citizenship, and personal development.[2]    Professions typically recognize the importance of developing practitioners becoming lifelong learners. Many licensed professions mandate that their members continue learning to maintain a license.[3]    Lifelong learning institutes are educational organisations specifically for lifelong learning purposes. Informal lifelong learning communities also exist around the world. (Wikipedia)

His Blogger I-Self is weekly oriented, as was Scrivener, as well as other attempts at controlling his time and his life since the 1970s even in the context of a normal job, first home purchase, a used Buick Riviera, first-three-week-four-weekend vacation with three children -- an unveiled reference to "How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life" Lakein 1973 -- note well how many editions are / were on the market.


14. Exploration /  experimentation

Experimentation is the basis of the scientific process — and it’s at the heart of what it means to be human and question the world around us.  https://view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/17220887509134e365aa363c3/raw?utm_term=17220887509134e365aa363c3&utm_source=cnn_Wonder+Theory+07.27.24&utm_medium=email&bt_ee=c9nfrCpkWuvxF5M2Ka1kylWl1qjFGokdiMB0IvUbMDRVAr%2Bb59hJSCJ38Z%2Bub3V2&bt_ts=1722088750917

The above quote adequately describes Harv’s Youthful Spirit within his better understanding of being more fully human.

Does that human exploration / experimentation have a limit or end ?  So far into 86 years for him —NOT !  He continues to explore geographically, socially, culturally, technically, historically, politically (equality), physicality, … 

Harv believes that the 117 billion humans who have gone before him and living with him as a group are, to say the least, INTERESTING, and subject to his curiosity.  https://www.prb.org/articles/how-many-people-have-ever-lived-on-earth/#:~:text=Still%2C%20with%20some%20assumptions%20about,ever%20been%20born%20on%20Earth.

Will his individual curiosity cease ?  “Yes !”  However, his days are not yet numbered by the medical industry — but his years are statistically numbered at 91 years.  In short, that’s approximately 44,000 wholly.hours yet available for exploration and experimentation, beyond his learned personal functions.

Even with his sleep function, Harv has and promotes the sweet dreams aim.  And, he believes that his brain thinks 24/7.  Certainly not on the instant genius level or ultimate consciousness level, but his brain grinds away, and it has been worth his while in self.satisfaction.actualiztion to aim his involved thoughts.  He thinks, sometimes by default, a sort of emptiness until internal or eternal distraction imposes — at other times he thinks in an aimed fashion — for example, all his lifetime he wanted to write in a functionally organized manner.  In a sense he spends his entire lifetime in the study / exploration of functionality — why, way, who, when, where, …  And experimenting thereupon — to be published as his post-PhD case study.

In facilitation of exploration / experimentation, Harv has been in his share of places, some taken in opportunity, others by necessity, others by choice.

 15. Harv’s Spirit Commands 

Harv was born into / because of the Roman Catholic tradition.

Thus his tradition was the New Testament, and secondarily, the Old Testament.  His single working mother Connie, turned his education to the parochial school.  He walked to his early grades — rental residence was arranged to facilitate the walk.  High school was facilitated by cross-city bicycling — certainly not competitive with his peers, some of whom already were driving.  His grades were barely above average.  Connie worked on the job since her fifth grade.  Father, Harvey Senior was the son of a tavern owner who hung himself.  Senior, a lifelong functional alcoholic was never interested in marriage nor child rearing responsibility.  With no child support, Connie worked as an electrical wiring assembler for Square D — overtime was frequent.  Harv spent summers in the Central Wisconsin area, being minded by relatives.  Farm work gave Harv his realization that he was a worker — and he enjoyed the actualization.

Parochial education included daily Mass attendance where he followed along via his personal missal — with the impressive page markers of woven thread of several colors — his companion for years where he learned to read between the lines !  And was instructed by the nuns and priests to do so.  

After his mid-life crisis in his 40s, Harv closed his Roman Catholic religious association by studying the Testaments using a Concordance, several versions of the Bible, and the keywords spirit and spiritual.  He took away twelve Spirit Commands into his future lifetime.  

    1. Humans know the joys of traveling and movement.                     
    2. The essence of human life is spirit.                                                
    3. The spirit resides in all levels of human condition.                        
    4. The spirit of God is meant to be within each individual.              
    5. The human spirit grows from past and present generations.         
    6. The spirit is meant to represent individualism -- choice.              
    7. Mend a broken spirit first, then the individual can listen.           
    8. From an internalized spirit comes favorable attributes.            
    9. Another's spirit may not look after your spirit.                              
    10. Spirited individuals have wholistic vision for their future.             
    11. Spirited people are open, work hard, talk, and write.                    
    12. Spirited individuals are restless.                                                      

                          For more detailed study information click for Harv’s Spirit Commands.

                          From his study he took the religious word holy, and integrated it into his lifetime management ideation of controlling his lifetime productivity with whole hours measurement.  Thus the term wholly hour represents the religious holy, and his control measurement of whole hours as WHOLLY HOURS — wholistic if you will.

                          For his remaining years of growth opportunity, Harv chooses to focus his productivity on Command #11, that is, Spirited people are open, work hard, talk, and WRITE.


                           16. Chosen write tools 

                          In fifth grade or thereabouts, Harv chose to write his three subject homework for the one teacher, on a single sheet of paper.  He doesn’t remember the subject but he remembers his curved line drawn from about two inches down from the top to about a point three inches across the top of the paper, isolating that corner for one subject.  Perhaps he remembers because the teacher actually praised the act of having one sheet suffice for that night’s three-subject homework.

                          Today, Harv still has a problem with written organization — apparently completely unseen by his two-dimensional special ability — not to mention the three-dimensional ability to use textual link / narrative flow control, or the higher tech hyperlinks.  

                          In 2024, Harv’s daughter texted, “ My brain is literally going in hundreds of directions today.”  Harv responded, “ You think 24/7 like I do !   I love that more and more as I learn to manage the hundreds of directions !”  Therein lay one of Harv’s fatal flaws — that of thought closure before jumping to another, and another, ad infinitum.   Perhaps the jumping from and outrunning currency is exploration / experimentation on steroids — unfortunately with unproductive results.

                          In 1980, Harv bought his first computer, the TRS80 (“trash DOS”) and subsequently flew it along to his consultant’s job site where he produced his own consulting job report.  He progressed with Windows and in 2015 switched to Apple as generally more friendly — although Apple has its own “geek-dumb”. 

                          In 2024, he continues to carry his computer power anywhere and everywhere he explores, in his quest to write.  In July 2024 he logged a first hour of write and works on his second — hopefully to accelerate from there.

                          In 2022, he found Blogger as his write / publish tool.  The function of instant publish “to the world” a sort of edit operation.  His world is his audience of one, so he writes sort of as a hobby for his own self improvement.  Likewise for his 1400 page PhD dissertation to be easily academically discounted but personally important — as is his post-PhD case study publication — again, for an audience of one, HIS SELF.

                          Then in mid 2024 Harv attained decent 24/7 access to unlimited internet — the game changer.  Although many other supporting betterments were contributed.

                          Before Blogger it was the Scrivener write tool — unsuccessful, but the base data is preserved.

                          An important development during the Scrivener era was the idea of  his life flow.  The weekly control data gave rise to an illustration showing several years of weekly actualization, permitting the visualization of his lifetime epochs, pinpointing a fatal flaw of chase.


                          ……. means under construction

                          Using his Scrivener words base, he has used the Blogger tool to infuse a feeling of discipline that would perhaps be provided by an editor /mentor.  

                          Publishing an initial draft perspective obviously adds the instant opportunity to read the published material, self-edit further, rewrite, and republish — continually evidencing a measure of written progress — closure practice if you will — non-closure being another of Harv’s fatal flaws..

                          Thus Harv implements the weekly.steps of the remainder of his progressive lifetime flow.

                          He works to fulfill his need to write.


                          ……. means under construction


                           17. Basic universal human needs E.R.G. 

                          Harv sees the universal human needs as a hierarchical progression of existence needs fulfillment, relatedness needs fulfillment, and personal growth needs fulfillment.


                          ……. means under construction


                           18. Harv’s three faces of self

                          Harv’s three faces of his self are I-Self, Me-Self, and We-Self — or, in order of importance to others — We-Self, Me-Self, and his I-self.  To whatever organization — it’s We, the organization — for another-relationship it’s usually Me in the end after ‘all’ is revealed — for many individual males the I is deemphasized (“men die early” being the ultimate insult to the I, especially with his learned self-cooperation.  If the reader hasn’t noticed the anger here — IT’S HERE.

                          Harv studied / learned his I-Self much later in his lifetime — it had everything to do with self-responsibility including longevity as well as his fulfillment of his basic human needs, not at the expense of others but in cooperation and challenge.  As his ninth Spirit Command says, “Another's spirit may not look after your spirit.“  T H I S  IS THE POINT OF HIS LIFE’S MICRO CORRECTIONS after his mid-life crisis..  Interestingly, from those 1980s, with advice from several psychiatrists, he had  no intervention.  He did however, seek as many healing devices as readily available

                          To Harv’s credit, he managed his medical recovery very well —  a successful colonoscopy reconnection, then a sport’s career, and an intra-generational retirement phase.  His retirement was / is a particularly  ragged affair.


                          19. I-Self Blog

                          Harv’s initial blog page features his I-Self — everyone has one if they responsibility account.  The forms are myriad — diaries and journals being popular, but not promotive of scientific study.  

                          Broadly, in Harv’s case he sees his time time acts / action / actualizations in the spirit of Maslow and Alderfer (Clayton).  

                          Harv’s I-Self blog emphasizes his push to write, supported by sociality, and dealing with his life stumbles.  It tracks his 168 w.hours of lifetime —he pays attention since the 1970s — controlling his time and his life — however judged as incorrect.  Taken alone, the I-Self blog misses the specific why of choosing life acts, and therefore easily falls prey to error, not to mention mistakes.  He needed Theory W to study the why and the way of associated acts to guide choices.

                          Ten Me-Self life.scenes are linked from the blog’s front page, entitled Illustration -- ten ME-SELF scenes 1938-2024+.

                          Harv’s front blog page features his I-Self — everyone has a Self if they responsibility account.  The forms are myriad — diaries and journals being popular, but those are not promotive of scientific study.  

                          articulation: 1a: a joint or juncture between … 2a: the action or manner of jointing or interrelating  2b: the state of being jointed or interrelated  3a: the act of giving utterance or expression.(MW.com) 


                          20. Theory W — the precedence database

                          ……. means under construction

                          The heart / essence of Theory W is the precedence database.

                          Like any database, the precedence network has records, that is, action records — to the action add an act#, descriptor columns, a way#, and you have a basic record.

                          Example — Harv chooses to write, give that act a number and you have yourself a record.

                          123  write

                          Continuing — in what way do you want to write ?  Harv’s answer — computer word processing.  That’s another action, so it gets a different record number.

                          456 computer

                          That’s an incomplete description.  Falling back unto engineering-type experience, a verb-descriptor-noun fills the need. thus —

                          456 process computer words

                          Now the precedence network records are —

                          123 write 456
                          456 process computer words 789

                          The database way to read the why of “write” is to “process computer words”.  Or, you can say, the why to “ process computer words” is to “write”.  

                          Welcome to the geek world, but the precedence network idea makes possible the study / thought about large complex projects beyond the capability of paper — whether graphically (example: PERT chart) or narrative (literally impossible although flow charts have been used across multiple pages).

                          For the steadfast calendar, much software effort continues to be devoted to the calendar as a life time management tool.  Harv hopes to bring the precedence network application into the calendar realm, that is, merge the calendar with life.task functionality — perhaps in the years to come.

                          Recognizing the steadfast calendar, the calendar remains the foundation of Harv’s lifetime.  Each week’s calendar is shown in the Blogger “Older Posts” available back through 2018week32, and even further in a less organized, more fragmented form back through 2018june10.  

                          Year 2017 was Harv’s last year of visiting California — in parallel with his loss of bicycle balance ability, with the move to a tricycle for exercise etc.


                          21. The Universal-Self


                          Week 24w12 has popped a hierarchy of sorts unto Harv’s write scene -- that of the Universal Self. 

                          Consider a two-dimensional representation as one way to explain the human self.

                          ……. means under construction 

                          As Harv’s Self.faces have matured in definition, he went through a series of levels.

                          • I-Self     concerned with actualizing his 168 hours weekly.  
                          • Me-Self summed a positive understanding of patterns — taking many weeks of development.  
                          • We-Self  curates the news looking for ideas that impact his choices that impact his Me-Self.  
                          • Universal-Self as a universal statement of human selves.
                          • Origin-Self      generally, speculates as to the origin of a specific self.
                          • Target-Self sets out the sketch of what the individual targets as their self aim.

                          24. Love — the happiness hierarchy

                          Harv has come in his recent years to view a definition of love that was missing key elements within his earlier lifetime.

                          One element was that of challenge, coming out of his epochs of chase.

                          Harv sees love as a hierarchical strata.

                          First level — RESPECT.  On that level Harv can be happy with all 117 billion humans the ever existed.  A sort attitude of just respect them and let them be what they are or have been.

                          Second level — ENCOURAGEMENT.  Harv has only 24 hours each day to share between his self and others.  In a sense he was fortunate that his early formative years were spent alone.  His environment was no-talk.  Father drank as a functional alcoholic.  Mother had an inherent temper, did factory work after marriage life dissolved if it was even there.  

                          Harv’s education was turned over to parochial school, a residence arranged for his easy walk to school, and he was a latch key kid — basically alone.  There were neighborhood boys of whatever bond, definitely not mischief.  But no school friends, he quit being an alter boy quickly, was the quartermaster in scouts with memory of  precipitating inventory — tents, etc.  He remembers the parochial class lesson where you arrive at perfection, then you go on to “sins of omission,” where you take on added responsibility for anyone or anything else that you see as imperfect.  And that your good works will be returned to you without negotiation (withholding something).

                          Third level — challenge.

                          John Powell S.J. wrote many paperbacks about love.  Many more misunderstanding.prevail.  In one religious vein, Jesus’ story of love, caps with the challenge of his leaving behind the challenge of the New Testament, which unfortunately permits the misinterpretation of his return — an excuse for inaction by some ‘faithful’.  

                          There came a point in Harv’s lifetime whereby he realized an excess of chase dimished his happiness return by depriving his self of encouragement.love.  He subsequently pulled back on the attention given to / for others, especially attention that offered no return encouragement.  He maintained a minimal level of encouragement.love to / for others — the results were positive but none were instant while he maintained a minimal “keep in touch” opportunity.

                          In the meantime, Harv focused on his self.love, that somehow was reemphasized previously, and was a serious source of his unbalanced life.  Interestingly, he still enjoys car-life within what he calls a balanced life — no as of August 2024 into a renewed retirement phase to include Wednesday train rides to Disney World, and weekends at the Disney World McDonald’s.  

                          Disney World annual pass retirement provides Harv a quality attempt where his life capping World Cruise had to be cancelled becuse of his focus on healing a Chronic Kidney Disease condition.

                          He fulfills his personal responsibility for his happiness.  As Wayne Dwyer proclaimed, “THER IS NO WAY TO HAPPINESS. !  Then after a potent speaker’s emphatic pause, he continued, “HAPPINESS IS THE WAY !”  

                          Happiness is Harv’s way of life.  In the 1950’s, his kids’ bowling team score sheet read, “Happy Harv,” in the #5 anchor position — the kids won the men’s league championship, but Harv was able to crack through the 200 average ceiling.  He declined to pursue that challenge — instead, he had his BSME, a job, and marriage at hand.

                          Plus, maybe most important, lifetime is limited.


                          25. Life is limited — go with the flow

                          Not only lifetime is limited, but life itself is limited.

                          Life quality erodes — subject to the mechanical law of entropy.

                          The ideation process is the creative process of generating, developing, and communicating new ideas for products and services. Idea generation is an important phase in the overarching innovation process.(Google2024july31)




                          owever, The self decides/defaults what will do in its next wholly hour (two meanings -- whole as an integer and Holy on the spirit-side-view.  


                          For Harv, his current lifetime phase encompasses these functions -- sleep, sleepless, web study write, dining sociality by person, commute, chicken supper or sausage muffen with egg breasfast, coffee/cocoa shake, tv, play distraction 'hands', report weekly blog, infer patterns, forge future action,

                          2024may01.   2024week18 has offered a clear calendar, with Harv's specific interest in the maturation of his mode relative to his post 1996 PhD personal case study -- the Diet Precedence Chart resulted six weeks later.


                          His work is resposponsibility for his lifetime.  His prime tool in getting his head around his lifetime has become Blogger.

                          As a half-decade of weeks have passed, his blog aim has become specifically his MO tied back to his 1996 PhD dissertation -- a 28 year reach for the supposed purpose of info input for his future weeks of action choices at the wholly hour MO level, that is, wholeness-of-being level and whole hours of chosen future action level.

                          Morning micro routine

                          Curiosity and understanding are humanly inherent. Among other synonyms, they may be chosen for satisficing a lifetime.  Or, on the other hand, the human may just choose to be surprised with 'hidden' patterns, or the ultimate -- be surprised by death with little exercised curiosity or understanding.

                          Harv chooses to be curious ... -- but is everybody deep down inherently -- inclusive of their daydreaming, which Harv assumes everybody does?  Kids for example, if not most, could be roped into curiosity recognition by a kid's video (click here).

                          Another word for Harv's curiosity is understanding (or if better stated anti misunderstanding -- because so much in the world is misunderstood and subjected or quick assuming/judgement -- or believing, that is, assuming correctness, usually because someone or something in authority/stature 'told' they so.

                          Harv updates his calendar and blog, curates his world We-Self, saves notes for future self-sharing and cogitation.  His range of web sites including their newsletter --  AP  BBC  NPR  NYT  WAPO  Bloomberg  CNN  WSJ  C-SPAN  Fox  CNET  ChinaDaily  

                          Seldom a breakfast eater, his weekday dinner is provided by COA (Council On Aging -- one of many formats for Senior Centers).  Weekend eats are Asian buffet or Mexican ...

                          Comfort food associates with anxiety/stress caused by overextension within the week -- the challenge being to take each week and strip out some anxiety/stress action.  A clear calendar does not mean less anxiety/stress.  For example, week 2024w19 sociality exploded in a positive direction -- with intention to NOT smother growing relationships.

                          Noon eats and nap times

                          For both weekdays and weekends, afternoon naps easily linger into the evening hour.  Evening eats probably a Crispy mcChicken Filet and a cocoa shake.

                          The six year space between retirement eviction and COA retirement eviction sobers Harv's reality, that (1) family chase has been exhausted without hope of sponteneous rebirth, that is, no invitations to visit and contact delimited to "Hallmark'" events ...  Thus Harv must realize his independence for his future lifetime -- don't hope for a dream, concentrate on future lifetime quality.  

                          Currently, Harv's quality is urban RV freedom where traditional RVs are tied to campgrounds -- example, no overnight camping at ParkNride whereas Harv in his RIM has done ParkNride 'comping' under the DOT and local police radar.

                          Harv continues to find overnight and day parking for his Four Townes retirement.  His activities have changed from COA wifi to 'home' Tmobile wifi for direct support of Harv's personal writing -- his retirement work.  Other life work supports his life work as personal writer.

                          Thus there is an attitude/hope/aim change from family pursuit era to an independent personal quality of vehicle, assiste living, duds, personal appearance, sociality, entertainment, ...

                          Is this MO too energetic for an 86yo to manage?  

                          Harv has long overextended -- perhaps the most of his actualizations have been overextensions.  Harv can easily be seen as just a normal (or less than normal) person (but with personal maybe over-the-top dreams without the resources for implementation), doomed to failure.

                          And fail he did -- with considerable success as icing on the cakes that were baked.  Most recently, a substitute PCP inferred that Harv will never see literal Assisted Living based on the PCP's personal knowledge of male 'degenerates' -- Harv included, if you view his current position as a failure, that is, "homeless" for one description, or, drives a 15 yo car, for another -- and many more discount descriptions depending on one's vested interest. 

                          Thus, regardless of failure measure -- current or past -- Harv focuses on his MO via the context of his PhD dissertation precedence network presentation.  Purely a personal aim that can reveal his MO in whatever the required detail.  Harv's personal satisfaction rules, the question remains unanswered -- "Is his MO too energetic?"  Especially with continued 'failure' as the result !  "Where's the satisfaction?"

                          The answer is still his negotiation of joy-love-freeing away for sad-hate-fear.

                          To steal a parallel with Wayne Dwser; "There is no way to success. (speaker's pause). There is no way to success.  Success ia the way !"

                          Seeing Assisted Living as his present mode, COA provides dining, his RIM (Residence In Motion) is his home, an Tmobile provides his 'home' internet router.  His support system draws from the Four Townes area and beyond.

                          The presentation of Harv's life flow in ten scenes:

                          Happy Harv Otto rebirths 'without' Elaine -- 1938-1959 jumps to 2024-assisted living death at unkown location (21 years wedlock v 65 years of engrained influence not necessarily bad but damn inconvenient)

                          2024apr30.     Another ideation that dawns is that of Elaine's influence on Harv.  The context being the Monsignor Zeurn's advice not to marry Elaine.  In effect, as Harv becomes ever more distant from his 'blood', the more he moves back in time to the pre Elaine thoughts in Harv's mind.  He envisioned Elaine being the mind that would grow in parallel lifetimes.  Yet, here that Harv 'sees' pre Elaine to post Elaine engrained in the kids, he 'sees' the potential of his future "free' of Elaine.  That's not going to happen - his kidsare integral with him as they are with Elains.  Harv's growth with each kid is up to he and the kid.  For Harv without Elaine, it's a world of assisted living that dawmd -- away from the kids, although not impossible, however very unlikely evidenced by evictions and perceived 'distain' for the 'failed' dad, that is, Harv -- not incidentally, the Happy Harv that predates Elaine.

                          Harv's future may be assisted living.  COA, now in revamped form of passive sociality, provides dining and sociality, chastised of his early 2024 assertive socialization.  Passive socialization fits very well with Harv's experience at mother Connie's retirement home.  Currently his 'assisted living' housing is being satisficed by his RIM (Residence In Motion) with its support system.

                          Harv is a dying entity -- only so many wholly hours remain for co-operation. 
                          His reality: not many people, if any, want to spend some of those hours with him. 
                          That releases his life time for his continued independent oneself development.
                          One critique of his lifetime as “not getting his fair share” can be seen as halted.
                          He has recouped much of his 1950s bowling nickname -- H2o (HappyHarvOtto).
                          ‘Writer’ is still a dream, scribbler the reality -- his happiness addressed in article 1809.

                          EMOTIONS
                          In general, Harv chooses Joy over sad, Love over hate, Freeing over fear. 
                          But his 80th year looms with 2017 cancers, family inability, and figurative hurricanes. 
                          His energy no longer quickly bests every situation. Tears arise -- figurative and literal.
                          His Passive-Assertive-Aggressive measure of energy application moves toward the Passive mode.
                          That slippage puts him at greater risk of further loss of oneself-responsible effectiveness.

                          finances  --  Harv never had an advocacy agent and had/has negotiation inability, 
                          adventure  --  bicycle was a lifetime adventure, as is degrees, and post PhD scribble,
                          sweet dreams  --  this is the essence of his sleep, reflecting an aimed wholistic stature,
                          chase ill health  --  a smarter effort would be an assertive flip to chase QoL simple bits,
                          wholistic stature  --  this domain blog can be seen as the eventual gateway to Harv’s tome,
                          higher tech integration  --  Scrivener use began years ago, 2005 OS X, iPhone scribble…,
                          personal betterment functionality aimed bit by bit  --  which next action becomes a challenge,

                          2024jun14.    Coming to fruition in 2024, Harv took his wholly-hour lifetime principle from perhaps fifty years, that is, Harv thinks 24/7 or 168 whole hours weekly as a control period -- and casts his Me-Self Figure into the void, via work to complete his post PhD aim.
                          2024jun04.  Completed csv commas into Harv's current precedence network database. Select/copy csv data to self.csv text file, delete text extension, open in numbers, correct data where necessary to get consistent database columns, run three sorts into text file -- act#, pre#, why#: continue write experiment using "the precedence network logic." Perhaps a new blog with three columns for 'read' facilitation.

                          prior2024may01.   Six years have passed since the eviction from California 'retirement', retrenched to Florida-retirement where the send off was "you'll be better off in Florida than in California." [Learned from discussion at Laura's death, in hindsight, Susan steered me away from her 15 year self-esteem decline.]

                          Subsequently, the Florida 'retirement' was re-incepted and the 'normal' Harv life-development pace as a personal writer proceeded as evidenced by the HarvOtto.com domain.  Instant publishing began with an annual pass for Disney World to walk with his walker to bolster his balance recovery -- he gave up his bicycle for a California tricycle -- it remains there along with his large toolbox, some clothes, and minor items.  The Disney World annual pass was interrupted by Covid.  In parallel, elder service availability upgraded from St.Cloud to Four Townes, specifically Council On Aging Orange City as its COA dining operations moved locations, and the COA OC activity center was reopened.  There,  Harv was able to pursue adequate wifi connection via 'his' COA Computing Activity (now defunct and replaced by Harv's newly acquired Tmobile 'home' wifi -- "That's correct." his car now has a wifi router.

                          Incidentally, Harv deems cohabitation (click here) not compatible with his independence going forward (strangely confirmed by a substitute PCP meet 2024may). [He is still not 100% there.]

                          2024jun20.   Lincoln's attitude.    In his first debate with Stephen Douglas, where he was forced into a defensive posture over his “house divided” speech, Lincoln deployed four strategies Biden [everyone] could benefit from.    First, he put his wit to work, mocking Douglas for his criticism of the biblical verse in ways that disarmed and endeared. Biden, who revels in Irish American blarney, should have more fun cutting Trump down to size. An old uncle who can crack up a room wins hearts.    Second, Lincoln separated himself from his party’s radical wing, assuring his audience that he was neither an abolitionist nor a believer in Black equality, and reaffirming his support for the right of enslavers to reclaim their “fugitives.” The Biden campaign should look for opportunities to underscore its separation from the party’s far left, especially on issues where Trump is inflaming fear, such as crime, “wokeism” and border security.    Third, Lincoln went out of his way to express personal understanding of his opponents and solidarity with them, saying that Southerners “are just what we would be in their situation.” Biden should not hesitate to say much the same of Trump’s supporters. Doing so will strengthen his call for unity by sending a more welcoming message to undecided voters, depriving Republicans of the kind of advantage they gained from Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” remark.    Fourth, and most crucially, Lincoln reframed the debate. Without giving an inch on the principle that mattered most to him — upholding what he saw as the Founders’ vision of containing slavery for the purpose of eventually extinguishing it — he emphasized how local differences are part and parcel of the “bonds of Union.” In other words, as long as Americans kept faith with the Founders, a house divided against itself could stand.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/06/19/biden-lincoln-house-divided-lessons/

                          2024july15.   Immediately prior life-work came as an initial Disney World retirement week — train, busses, driving, success. In parallel, iCloud was emptied of Photos with the encouragement of Apple Support — their advice will continue — iCloud Photos purpose is to backup photos, and secondarily the updates use of Photos across several devices.

                          When writing in the database, the sort is numerical ascending by Why#, with an additional sort numerically ascending by Way#.  These two views facilitate the writing of  life-flow acts interrelated within an ongoing life-flow..

But the language networks stayed quiet. “It became clear that none of those things seem to engage language circuits,” she said.    In a paper published Wednesday in Nature, Dr. Fedorenko and her colleagues argued that studies of people with brain injuries point to the same conclusion.         If language is not essential for thought, then what is language for? Communication, Dr. Fedorenko and her colleagues argue. Dr. Chomsky and other researchers have rejected that idea, pointing out the ambiguity of words and the difficulty of expressing our intuitions out loud. “The system is not well designed in many functional respects,” Dr. Chomsky once said.          Kyle Mahowald, a linguist at the University of Texas at Austin who was not involved in the new work, said that separating thought and language could help explain why artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT are so good at some tasks and so bad at others.        Computer scientists train these programs on vast amounts of text, uncovering rules about how words are connected. Dr. Mahowald suspects that these programs are starting to mimic the language network in the human brain — but falling short on reasoning.        But Guy Dove, a philosopher at the University of Louisville, thought that Dr. Fedorenko and her colleagues were going too far in banishing language from thought — especially complex thoughts. “When we’re thinking about democracy, we might rehearse conversations about democracy,” he said. “You do not need language to have thoughts, but it can be an enhancement.”    https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/19/science/brain-language-thought.html        To get people to think "precedence Why? and Way?"
