Well, I don't see a variance. No human made home is outside nature, while nature is always an element at the heart of any human home.... I will keep my reply brief because I am a long admirer of architecture/landscaping.  I will say this I have a strong dislike of dysfunctional architecture or landscaping. I dislike it to no end.

A new World Wide Web is needed?

_{I asked the following question}

What function if any at all will DSNP have with EPUB? I comprehend that DSNP is a protocol, a rule set , and epub is a file format, a structure for data, a duplicatable structure for data. so Epub is a an object above the application layer while DSNP is designed to be a replacement for at least the application layer protocols and , I guess, at most the internet layer of protocols.
But I ponder can dsnp be accessed in an epub. I know an epub can utilize application layer protocols to connect to the larger internet and utilize data.
Is it possible for DSNP to be utilized through an epub, conceptually at least?
I admit in my mind I figure DSNP with its individual markers may not be usable through an epub as an epub has duplicate structure.
But I want to pick the brains of any project liberty developers who see this

Chel
Here is a depiction of the character Chel from Road to El dorado by coolbeaniebabez 

I am just seeing early concept art of Chel, the character in Road to El Dorado from Dreamworks. The tragedy of assessing art that involves multiculturalism is you can not serve two masters. 
When you look at Native or Indigenous art from the commonly called in modernity American continent, you see that women plus men are depicted spare of heavy clothes, reflecting a common sense approach to fashion in the very humid/hot climated from modern day mexico to modern day northern peru or chile. 

Original Chel concept

https://www.creativebloq.com/news/road-to-eldorado-chel-character-design

Chel in either form isn't a grand fashion distance from what an indigenous woman living in mesoamerica where cortez landed will wear. Chel will look farthest from history  wearing a hooping skirt. 
I think taking out the steamy sex scenes was good simply because too often females not white european are always deemed desiring the white european male in film, de facto. But, I do think an argument can be had to needing welcoming lust from a short/wide hipped woman in general , definitely a woman not white european. I can't recall a female animated character who is short/wide hipped being embraced as an object of beauty. The problem is, you can't do both.
Jessica Rabbit is a singer in a lounge who has one purpose, to entertain the guests, human or toon, while all male, with the fantasy of her wanting them in song and audience play. Jessica Rabbit isn't sleeping around, and she is trying to save her husband with various other activities. Chel wasn't given as well as scenario as JEssica Rabbit but the way Chel looks allowed her to , if given a story chance, a similar role, which i think would had served the intention of showcasing an uncommon female character as an object of desire. 

"...Initially there were some steamy love scenes and saucy outfits designed for Chel, the love interest in the movie voiced by Rosie Perez. ...In addition to mellowing out the romantic scenes, the animators redesigned the clothing worn by Chel. The movie now has a PG rating....Meanwhile, some in the Latino community who have seen the film have objected to the curvaceous outline of Chel, saying she is yet another example of the “hot and spicy” native....Meanwhile, some in the Latino community who have seen the film have objected to the curvaceous outline of Chel, saying she is yet another example of the “hot and spicy” native."

A solar eclipse , shadowing, from on a planet occurs when a moon is between a star and said planet. A total socal eclipse is when the alignment of a moon and a star is such that  said moon completely blocks out the sun.  The reason why this is a total  is it is a new moon while also crossing the ecliptic, which is the path of the sun in the earth's sky.

Mandala Sphere

On deviantart in celebration of Holi, a mandala contest happened. But in my mind I thought, wouldn't it be cool if I connect the imagery of mandala which means circle, Holi, which is a festival of colors, with Equirectangular art. I admit I had another more intricate concept drawn but I used the latter concept of four mandalas cause I felt it represented the cyclical nature better. I already admit, when I do this again sometime in the future,  I will change the background each mandala to be a different place.  respecting the two hemisphere concept.

Questions to writing and things written

I asked the following questions

• Z) To the growing populace in humanity who do not read books and by extension, don't read much, are video learners, what is the financial opportunity for the writer?
•  5) The holodeck in star trek the next generation was technologically possible in Star Trek the original series while the culture of the federation in said original series opposed the purpose of the holodeck, thus no holodeck in the original series [barring special effects limits or capabilities in the 1960s]?
• #) Does literature need its own protocol, like HTTP? 

What are your answers? I give details to the questions origins at the following

https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/10874-a-question-and-questions-and-a-question/

What book do you propose for a questionable literary summary?

_{Questionable defined as  "how on earth did this published", "why are people reading this", "what decisions even made someone think this was a good idea", etc.} 

It took me a while to think, it was in the back of my mind, but I have a book, I want to roast that I have never read. I admit, it makes perfect sense to me how it got published, why people read it, or the decisions that made it a good idea. My reason for the roasting is the following book claims to be ancient when it is not and that lie to me, warrants the roasting. 
I admit I myself have written a similar work, but with one key difference, I didn't suggest my book is ancient. My book which is in the same genre as the following book is admittedly modern. It is interpretation. 
The book I wish to roast is
is drumroll!!!.... 
The Book of Mormon
This book was written in 1830 and is suggested to be ancient text transcribed into english. That is a lie. And while there are many books I don't care for I don't think they warrant the kindling, but this. 100% for me. 
https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1029005156/5121377453

_{why I found this question difficult}
ahhh well, I have submit a blank page:) 
In my writing journey I try to comprehend the positive in every book. 
I can easily admit, I have negative views toward a number of books: uncle tom's cabin,  imitation of life ,  king james bible , chandler harris's the tales of brer rabbit , and twilight :) is included in the list but I can't bring myself to roast. 

https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1029005156/5121375176

_{what financially successful terrible writing may say?}
well someone say's terrible writing concerning at least  50 shades of grey ,  it is very profitable so it conveys something about the modern readership.  Maybe the modern readership is willing to pay for content that would get a failing grade through scholarly review , this even connects to   computer generated art from human prompts. Maybe the modern audience at least in the anglophone is becoming less judgmental and more willing to extrapolate from words what they want to see or accept blemish in images that convey most of what they want to see? I can be totally wrong of course.

Akira Toriyama Thoughts

I recall being in school and i loved to draw, but I was raised in a different artistic heritage so i was surrounded by friends who drew, fellow child black artists, and  they all drew dragon ball. I was talking about tintin and sunman. totally alien to them. So, Toriyama's cartoon was a gateway into the arts for many black artists in my offline life. 

 I have never drawn anything dragonball related. Seen it for years , like some of the toons. 
To toriyama, he is fortunate, it is the most fortunate artists who gets to make a work that inspires so many strangers while making one generational wealth to loving ones once their spirit flies.

Success on Deviantart

_{the ever ongoing dialog war in art communities concerning computer simulated art through human impetus}

_{some thoughts}
part of this is financial right? I think all of us are being short in not mentioning how much money has been earned and the truth about what it means. as i said elsewhere, artist can tell when the market has changed and regardless of how the law goes, the market has changed. With these tools, the average person will not be interested in getting a human artists because for no money they can get a computer to make a satisfactory simulation or better. The reason fewer people played instruments in humanity was recorded music devices. Did recording music devices tell humans to stop? no. but once humans realized the musicman job at theaters/pubs/community events was leaving thus the money to do the art was leaving they didn't continue performing for free nor did latter generations have the inspiration of so many musicians to pick up and start using instruments. so, this is the reality. The future will have more artists, yes for those who read this far artists, who speak to a computer and get results. Yes. And this is coming from a undisputed traditional artists, look at my gallery if you have doubts. So, the future is here. In 50 years in the usa. most artists will create through said means. But traditional art will not die, i imagine people will pay for traditional artists to create traditionally. Traditional art has markets but they will get tighter. And for me, while I wish I made 12,000 on deviantart in 2023 with my poetry or calligraphy , i am not bitter nor scared. I will keep creating as long as i can, even if few to none want to buy. 
https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1032405910/5123375808

I want to say, AI art is very popular everywhere, those people I know offline who are artists who use it prove it to me. AI art is here. But I Think you are correct. People miss the amount of touch up work with synthography that goes on though I add as a logician, at some point, the computer will not make as many mistakes. The star trek holodeck is the goal and i know it is achievable. It doesn't mean I can not whittle wood in my spare time 
https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1032405910/5123377063

I will speak as a traditional artist, check my gallery if you think I am lying.
I know synthographers or what I like to call magic paintbrush users and I accept it 100%. . 
Will people become accustomed to using prompts like star trek on the holodeck with that volumetric display? yes. 
Will this mean less fiscal opportunity for traditional artist? yes
Does this mean any traditional artists is hindered in continuing to create their art? no

If you could have a pet--and you had time to give it all the love and care it needs, had the space, and had the necessary funds--what would your dream pet be? 

Hmmm I went with the tomato dog in the attack of the killer tomatoes cartoon. See, it isn't a dog, it is technically still a tomato , thus a plant. so it needs water and light BUT it barks and has some sort of permanent leaves that act as   legs to crawl about. I have no idea if it is male or female... or both, and what happens if it cross pollinates . I don't know if anybody else has read this far, as I rabble on, but what if the tomato dog cross pollinates with a pumpkin or a pomegranate or a watermelon. As long as I don't see any audrey signs I am good to go. And as a tomato it has to have seeds... but, as a tomato dog, what if it mates with a canine of sorts. I don't know if the tomato dog has .. um a penis or vagina but i will love to see it mate with a black belgian shepard wolf, imagine a burgundy belgian shepard tomato wolf. I have money right, land right. I don't know what will happen. IT could be my doom. The Fall of the house of Richard by the Burgundy Tomato wolf . Imagine the howl of the tomato wolf Yeah , my dream pet is the tomato dog , I have officially convinced myself

Are you a Dune Fan?

Did you know how Dune the book came to survive the magazine zone

https://aalbc.com/tc/topic/10866-name-a-black-story-told-in-magazine-format-that-you-want-to-see-as-a-book/

 What grammar or punctuation rules do you struggle with? 
 

I want to speak on how grammar plus punctuation are approached. 
Louis 14th , or another french monarch if I am wrong, made the first french, labeled, standard.  
Why? There was a time in France where the people in the various regions spoke so many versions commercial or communicative purposes were stymied. A modern example I can give is a few years ago the coach of the english women's flag team stated the women come from so many different places , in modern england, that they have a hard time comprehending each other talking together on the pitch. So they use the standard english to communicate to each other.  
Grammar rules or punctuation rules in any language in all of human history are made and enforced to improve communication or commerce among a set of humans. 
Sequentially, don't treat said rules as the essence of writing but a ruleset. No different than the equation of a line: value in one axis equals the slope of the line multiplied by the value in the axis perpendicular  to the intercepting value in the one axis. 
You have the right to forget a rule. That is why they have rulebooks. Take your time , go through your work, and make the changes if need be. Use a reference book. Use the various electronic tools if accessible. 
But, As Zora Neale Hurston or Robert Burns prove, in opposition to commerce or communication, creative purposes do not require said commonly accepted grammar or punctuation rules. Both of said artists have work that was and is deemed negative grammatically or punctuation wise because they don't fit the commonly accepted standards. 
I end with, listen to Writed, use or apply the commonly accepted rules of the written word. They are mostly known or accepted. They do aid in making communication or commerce better. But, if you creatively wish to go another way, you are free to or not erroneous in doing so. Just be willing to accept many may or will chastise your creative work because it doesn't embrace said rules.

Questions of Supermen?

I answer the following two questions

• IF discovery channel takes your name out of a container of random writers names, and gives you the chance to do a superman movie. Describe your film in one sentence?
• LEt's say Discovery channel chose you and not tae nihis coates to do a black superhero movie, what will the superhero be and describe it in one sentence?

Thoughts to the New Shadow that never was

_{the following was a comment to the following video concerning the work of tolkien not finished}

The beginning of the New Shadow reminds me of Ivanhoe from Walter Scott. Ivanhoe at its heart is a book about two whose bloody merger will become one. The beginning of New Shadow suggest one who is becoming two. 

Did Tolkien ever write a story about the Haradrim or sothyrons? I know of characters but never heard of a story tolkien wrote.

To your final question, I am surprised no one in fanfiction has tried something. Tolkien has so many fans and so many fans are writers.

glass blowing, i have seen it many many times, but it is not cheap, you really need to have a house. it isn't something to do in an apartment. I wouldn't even accept working a kiln in a loft.  but glass blowing is lovely, figurines from it. really a lovely art, the light, photographers in a glass blowing shop always have fun.

Who are some of your favorite women artists?

Growing up Zora Neale Hurston, Billie Holiday,Josephine Baker, I have many favorite female artist in various genres. 

What historical contributions by women do you think are underappreciated or should be highlighted?

Well, I think it must first be said that in the usa at least women have been vital members of every organization. PRotest movements/non violent movements, government law, a woman made the foundation of medicare in the fdr administration the first woman to be in a presidential cabinet if I am correct, Anyone correct me if I am wrong, sporting popularity, disney- many inkers were women whose names were not uttered as much, film , in the silent era there were more female directors than the early sound era, so... undervalued or in need of highlight is many. I will now answer the question and say, in the world of streetart,I think a number of female streetartist never get mention. I don't remember a few of their call names. But there you have it.  

Share your favorite artwork by someone who has given you strength!

I Will share lyrics from Sade:) and her band.
....
I always hope that you remember
We'll never really learn the meaning of it all
What we have is strong and tender, so hold on
In the middle of the madness
When the time is running out and you're left alone
All I want is you to know that
It's strong still, can't pull us apart
Nothing can come, nothing can come
Nothing can come between us (Nothing can pull us apart)
Baby, nothing can come, nothing can come between us
Nothing can come between us
I always hope that you remember
What we have is strong and tender
In the middle of the madness, hold on
So it truly is a good thing
And I always wanted you to know
There is always this, and this is everlasting, hold on
It's about faith
It's about trust (Yeah, yeah)
It's about faith (Ooh yeah)
It's about trust
Nothing can come, nothing can come
Nothing can come between us
Baby, nothing can come, nothing can come between us
Nothing can come between us
Can come (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Can tear (Nothing can come between us)
Can pull (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Us apart (Nothing can come between us)
Can come (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Can tear (Nothing can come between us)
Can pull (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Us apart (Nothing can come between us)
Can come (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Can tear (Nothing can come between us
Can pull (Nothing can come)
Nothing can come
Us apart (Nothing can come between us)

How commonly called AI art and I stand

I will start with the pot and then do the honey,yes that is reverse. 
For those that fear the writing on the wall about the ability of all to express their imagination in various forms, with ever growing precision. it is here. Not all in humanity are online or own a powerful enough computer, most don't in fact. But, for those online or who can afford, the way in which a human artist is needed is going to change, and as in all labors it will not be sheparded or guided well but will be chaotic and messy as all labor changes in the usa in particular are. 
Pot closed.
Now two big drops of honey. 
First,  people who can have embraced these advanced computer brushes. And they are getting not just in illustrations but in literature what they want to see. The human imagination is infinite, it has not lessened and these tools will allow an expanse of imaginative displays. 
Second, I talk to people in other parts of humanity, not just the usa. outside the rich parts of humanity a respect or liking for non electronic craft is strengthening so, for those who may feel like the walls of the traditional artists are closing in, i argue they are not but you need to get to the audience and in the usa or richer places in humanity, we are living at the beginning of a different taste in how art shall be consumed. 
As for myself, i simply create the way i do for the reason i started when a child. I enjoy it. I have never been in competition with another artist. I simply create and use the gain in experience to learn.
As for my relationship to synthography or what I said elsewhere in these comment,  work through advanced computer brushes  , it is inexperienced or young. I probably will never put my own literature or illustrations into the machine to determine something new. But, using old poetry and then playing with various art styles was fun so I imagine I will do more of that with these contests in the future. But I don't know, we will see. 
 https://www.deviantart.com/wrath/journal/The-V-Day-Nostalgia-Challenge-was-amazing-1025382667

IN AMENDMENT
yeah and that is why in my entry i had the gif style. To show people how you can use literature to get some idea and then use art styles through the names of artist themselves to garner various results, some quite pretty..... I have said the following elsewhere. We already know what  synthography is, it is called the holodeck. You know on the enterprise or elsewhere in the star trek universe from the next generation onward, when someone wants to relax, they go to the holodeck and say
"computer, show me a bar on earth , new orleans, in the late 1800s during carnival , filled with black pirates from tortuga in haiti from the 1600s as customers" and then the computer makes a scene the person is standing in and then they say " add a platform for a singer and make it a young ella fitzgerald supported by the louis jordan band" and then more changes,and the they say "run program" we in modernity are not there yet, but the google ai text to video is the first step there. That is all these is. It doesn't mean , ala the same show star trek, people can't do hand craft like in star trek insurrection when the people on that planet where no one ages because of the rings spend hundreds of years as apprentices learning how to sew intricately. I think people in the usa at least already know what ai art will become but it never occured to them that star trek was also right about the money working out differently. PEople in star trek do pay for holodeck programs , they are called holosuites so...  even though I am a traditional artist I comprehend this tool easily.  https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/1025382667/5119706605

What are your thoughts on rejection? How do you think it can help... if there is a silver lining?

 
happens to all artist eventually.  I think rejection has different intensity levels based on who gives it. In my home, people have judged , not even, not the right color , similar. But, outside my home, in my presence, people have said , his work is crap. I have had work win entry in some things, not win entry in most. But, the key is not having a home where rejection is the standard. I think all artist eventually can climb over the bridges of rejection outside the house. But in the home, i think it is devastating to have certain kinds of rejection. I know dancers/singers who grew up with , to be blunt, rejectors in the house. I can't go into grand detail. But, my point is I don't think I will have the confidence or the patience in myself if not for the support of the home. And I have seen those who didn't have that and it can be really tough. MAgazines/publishers is one thing but the home is the worst.

Valentine's Nostalgia

I made a video book or gifbook based on the idea of valentine's nostalgia, from thefulcrum. They said think outside the box, so I thought, let's use the first european valentine letter as prompts to a computer simulation system. I had to break it up. I used deviantart dreamup to make three images for the first stanza while three for the second stanza. Then I used an art style common in the time of the poetry for each image. I chose the image that fronts the gif. But enjoy it all below. Read the description for more detail.

IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR

stage vs spare vs real

Stage fighting or performance fighting is one thing/ dueling with protection and rules is one thing so called real life fencing/ but the third is sword fighting in lethal situations. The problem with modernity is the lack of comprehension  that sword or spear or club or non projectile weapon fighting was a standard part of war, a standard operation on the field. the gun is the standard field weapon today but when the non projectile weapon was the standard that created another class altogether. In the past on a battlefield one may not have all the armor, may be sick, may have an injury, has no rules , these elements in my view, make the discussion of theatrical fighting versus what I will call weapons sparring limited. Compared to true non projectile weapons combat, theatrical fighting or weapons sparring are lacking. Duelling is about violence. I think sparring isn't about violence. Sparring is about athletic skill or achievement or nonviolent learning. Theatrical swordplay is about entertaining. One of the speakers mentioned the film "the duelist" but the same director made a film called "the last duel", and in it, it showed the duelling of war. In the film the duellist you have the dueling that led to many european fantasies, the closest thing to duelling in war in peace. But the purest duelling is violent, messy, tricky, really warlike.
