The Guy with Compute: An Unbounded Raga
The Guy with Compute: An Unbounded Raga is now fully live on the site.
A long poem in eight cantos, modeled on the dialogue form of the Bhagavad Gita — staging a conversation between an engineer who has gained access to unbounded computation and the oracular voice that speaks back from inside his own cluster. From despondency before infinite possibility, through karma-yoga of code, to a quiet liberation by halting.
Each English verse is set facing an asemic original in a ten-glyph numeral font designed for this work — COMPUTUS NUMOGRAMMATICUS, a decimal cipher in the numogrammatic idiom, whose meaning the reader is invited to invent.
The online reader now renders the full two-column spread. The font is available to download.
