where are we?

---

To have been “sidetracked by new ideas” (Aug. 7 of “summer 2026”) was not about leaving a central path for exploring marginal woods. Rather, the departure was away from intended presentation here (August 1: “I’ve completed my prospective archetexture for the upcoming year-or-more…”) back to conceptual prospecting which fundamentally appeals to me—and ultimately coheres—though that’s
not obvious.

By analogy, consider prospecting something ultimately appealing as
a highland of Inner Humanity which each of us unwittingly expresses; and a lowland of Outer Humanity which is easily shared, from near-and-dear lives (extended family, friends, neighbors, etc.) to news cycles feeding Our shared sense of The Times.

I live an ambitiously pragmatic midland.
