Datasheet state transition diagram vs alchemic transmutation circle.

ยท Web ยท 57 ยท 65

@qrs So what you're saying is all we need to do to become the wizards of old is label our datasheets in Latin

@qrs what is a transmutation circle if not just a state transition diagram

@qrs ooohhhhh now it all makes sense
sigil and transmutation circles are just programming languages for daemons go it

@Vann
@qrs
I mean, that's kind of the premise of Charles Stross's Laundry series.

@Irick @qrs i was totally going to post that but you already did it! ๐Ÿ˜‚

@qrs @hj *insert stuff about Western Esotericism here*

@qrs Is that DRAM state machine?

@qrs Interesting! This is my adaptation from the famous diagram at the back of Leibniz's doctoral dissertation!

computers think using etchings in poisoned sand and measure time using vibrating crystals so if you were looking for magic you found it -- @computerfact@twitter.com

@qrs The datasheet state transition diagram looks more like the Kabbalah to me.

@qrs So, the one on the left is very clearly a unicursal hexagram.
