Mix and match one's own take on clips/tidbits from random search engine results[a][b] to 'gnarfle the [tex] garthok'[snl][tex]

Put all the software engineering discipline/experience towards a diy tool for more creative/interactive instruction on learning L-systems & APL without a spreadsheet grid!

Enable a new way to envision/do calculus exercises.[0][1][2][3][4] aka think the equation, see the equation, em(c*c) the equation (projector or 3d printing)

sdiff/ripgrep what absorbed in class few days later with what 'think' remember and have chatgpt explain where the gaps are!

Ah, guess not a diy thing till OS on DB[register] is ported for use with modern take on magnetic core memory[core1][core2].

So for now, just a possible irl envisioning of 'the matrix' concepts in textile as spacesuit wearable/portable fully self contained data warehouse.
