“The variability and the adaptability of cognition comes from the knowledge that is encoded in a cognitive architecture.
Thus, a cognitive architecture provides the fixed processes and memories and their associated algorithms and data structures
to acquire, represent, and process knowledge about the environment and tasks for moment-to-moment reasoning, problem solving, and goal-oriented behavior.
This leads to a simple equation: architecture + knowledge = behavior. (…)
An environment, though it may be complex and dynamic, is not arbitrary.
The laws of interaction that govern the environment are constant, often are predictable, and lead to recurrence and regularity that affect the agent’s ability to achieve its goals.
There are different regularities at different time scales, which makes it possible and useful to organize knowledge about tasks, actions, and the environment hierarchically. (…)
Computation resources are limited so that an agent cannot perform arbitrary computation in the time it has available to respond to the dynamics of the environment.
Thus, an agent has bounded rationality and cannot achieve perfect rationality (or universal intelligence) in sufficiently complex environments and tasks when it has a large body of knowledge. (…)
Thus, to preserve reactivity, a cognitive architecture must constrain the types of knowledge that can be encoded and or the types of queries that can be made.
The architecture can include fixed methods for organizing its knowledge so that it can be searched quickly (relative to overall temporal scale of the agent),
possibly in bounded time, using data structures such as hash tables, heaps, or trees that avoid the exponential explosion inherent to problem-space search.”

HEY PLEASE READ !!
if you guys AT ALL enjoy using the internet whether it's for news, entertainment, or communication purposes there is a bill floating around right now that has a good possibility of being passed that will influence the way we ALL use the internet. this bill is called KOSA and it presents itself as "kids online safety act" but in reality it is and will try to sensor SO much important information out there about LGBTQ+, POC communities, feminism and women's rights, and so much more. the bill targets mainly people under 17 but this bill will affect adults too. your favorite social media and websites will become highly cleansed from anything the government deems as "dangerous" to children online. one of the ways they are trying to ensure kids aren't accessing content that is "dangerous" enforces EVERYONE to upload private information or a photo of your ID to access social media apps and websites. IF YOU CARE AT ALL ABOUT PROTECTING FREE SPEACH ON THE INTERNET AND THE WAY WE USE IT TO COMMUNICATE PLEASE HELP ENSURE THAT THIS BILL DOES NOT PASS.
CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND SENATORS TO SHOE THAT YOU DO NOT SUPPORT THE KOSA BILL.

This is so interesting! I can‘t wait to check out the books listed above.
My legitimate surname is Merlin and I‘ve been wondering where it comes from for ages (I‘m not from the UK or france) and the whole thing just got more mysterious to me once I realized the mythological wizard isn‘t even named that, but Myrddin instead.
Maybe I‘ll do a DNA test at some point? At least my surname got me really invested in the arthurian legend and celtic mythology in general, which is a nice niche interest to have.
anyway just a reminder for the myth lovers out there
king arthur was welsh. merlin was welsh. camelot was in wales. the lady and the lake she pops out of; welsh. excalibur; magic inanimate welsh object. etc.
on the way to see family, i drive past a lake that in which is welsh legend, is the last resting place of excalibur.
i’m just saying in my experience a lot of these legends had been so anglo-fied in the past and it’s like, all this cool shit is celtic welsh legend.
there's only one thing worse than an awful book, and that is an awful book with ONE tantalisingly compelling element

RO Information + Appearance
Dancing With The Devil is my first interactive fiction, but it’s not my main story. It’s what I hope will be a stress reliever for when working on my other stories become a bit too much. I hope to have the intro post out for at least one of them soon! Content Warning is at the end of the post, check it out before interacting/reading. 18+
Twelve years ago you and your band mates were at the height of your careers. Being on the cover of every magazine and headlining the biggest shows, and attending the grandest galas and parties were only some of the perks of being on top of the music world. You were born to be in the spotlight, and boy was it good to be treated and feel better than everyone else.
But life in the spotlight faded pretty fast. Now it’s been six years since you’ve disbanded and your life hasn’t been the same. No more shows, no more getting recognized every time you go out, and no more special treatment. Suddenly, you were no one and compared to how you were living then, well your life is shit.
And honestly? You’d do anything to have the amount of success again. Anything.
Unfortunately for you, a mysterious being approaches you with a deal of a lifetime. The celebrity lifestyle, the success, and the money? You could experience it all again for just one measly price: your service.
And when they call for you to do their bidding, you’d better be ready.
Get ready for one hell of a ride, rockstar.
Customize the MC. (Appearance, Gender, Personality, and Sexuality.)
Customize your…other form. Don’t worry you’ll look scary and sick as shit at the same time.
Have a demonic power that you’ll get to use when you have to, or just when you want to.
Choose your role in the band. Because that’s the thing that matters right now. (No, it actually does, and it’s gonna be pretty fucking cool.)
Rekindle friendships with or romance with any of the five romance options, plus a secret/locked option. Poly routes will be added to the ROs list once I plan them.
Choices shape your route. Do you want to embrace your new dark side or is it all too much for you? Both possible routes comes with their own pros and cons.
The choices you make can also put you and your band mates in some hot ass water (literally), but let’s be honest, you guys probably deserve it!
Multiple endings.
Ava Leveux, F, She/Her, 36, Lead Singer
One of your closest friends still and really the only one you talk to after the band’s split. She’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet, and between all of you, the one with the most common sense. Which is why she’s very reluctant to go along with the entire “deal” in the first place.
Daniel Mercer, M, He/Him, 35, Bassist
Despite the fact that he’s not actually as talented as the other members of the band, he definitely has the biggest ego out of everyone. Add the fact that he can be quite hot headed, and he becomes one of the most annoying people on the planet. He didn’t really end on the best of terms with the rest of you after the band split, but because he’s just as desperate for attention as the rest of you, he’s back.
Farrow Marsone, NB, They/Them, 39, Manager
Your no-nonsense manager. Not here for this shit honestly. They’re the first and pretty much only one to explicitly tell you that this entire deal is shady, and will come back to bite you in the ass. However after some thinking, they begin to realize that they’ve been out of work for years and your success is their success.
Hannah Landoni, F, She/Her, 35, Guitarist
Though the success isn’t much, she’s the so called “breakout star” of the band. After the split, she’s the only one who’s made bit of a name for herself and at least a little bit known nowadays. Was very quick to distance herself from the rest of you once she rebranded. Once she heard about your plan, she really wasn’t on board with it, but even she can’t ignore the fact that the bit of spotlight that she does have is fading fast.
Ronin Sawyer, He/They, 33, Drummer
One chaotic little shit, and can be quite too much for some people. Constantly giving out himbo energy, and a bit clueless about what’s going on, but once they figure it out they’re all in for it. It’s reckless, impulsive, and it’s sure to cause a lot of chaos. How the hell could they say no to this?
????, They/Them
Intimidating, cunning, and very persuasive…
Dancing with the Devil is an 18+ horror themed interactive fiction with a hint of dark comedy. The story will feature strong language, consumption of alcohol, implied drug use, violence, mildly gruesome scenes, optional sexual explicit scenes, hints of manipulation, blood, and dark themes. Possibly more to be added as the story progresses. If any of this is off putting to you, this may not be the story for you. Play at your own risk.
DEMO TBA | ROs APPEARANCES | PLAYLISTS
A dark fantasy story with a mix of modern, medieval, and futuristic elements. Two siblings, an angel and demon, on a path of revenge.
In the world of Eldris, the recent infestation of binders and lifelines grows. They are eldritch entities made of the same essence as the living. Despite the commonality, it is clear that they do not belong in this world, and nobody knows where they come from. What is clear is that they are on the hunt for mortals who will become the ideal vessel for storing essence, and they’ll do whatever it takes to survive while on their conquest.
You and your brother, Daemin, are another anomaly in this world. The day you woke up in this strange land was the same day you were quick to learn of your newfound power. While you are an endless basin of life, your brother is a vacuum of death. He is in a constant state of decay, and he needs essence to live. However, with a surplus of essence, he can amass power beyond what a demon like himself should be capable of. The two of you make a dangerous pair, seeing as how you’re a limitless generator of essence and he can become a dangerous user when he has a lot of it. Will that combination of power go to your head?
With a feeling you’ve lost something other than bits of your memories, you and your brother embark on a mission. You both seek to find out where you are, what happened to you, and how to get back on track with achieving your primary goal: getting revenge.
But be careful, angel of Aether. There are many eyes aimed at you and your brother since your awakening, and mortal affairs tend sink anyone and everyone in like quicksand.
Play as a man, woman, or nonbinary individual.
Seven confirmed romance options.
Make fun of your edgy brother. Embarrass him.
Find your style of combat. Do you prefer to fabricate weapons into existence, manipulate elemental essence to fight, or transform into an entity made for combat? You have the liberty to dedicate yourself to a craft, or be a jack of all trades.
Fight humans, binders, lifelines, and whatever wants to pick a fight with you.
Will you show mortals to be or be not afraid of you? The power to kill or show mercy is in your hands. You may even influence your brother to do what you believe is right.
Possibly more features to come…

What the Scabiosa Blooms is an 18+ interactive fiction.
You never know what lurks within the dark.
Death seems far more interested in lingering in the city of Aevum, than anywhere else, as for the past few months, people having been dying left and right and the local authorities have not a single clue who the killer is.
All they can find is a single scabiosa flower in full bloom left at the crime scene.
Of course, strange as the surge of dead is, the markings on the bodies that come to you that you need to ‘clean’ are bizarre in its own right. Some of these markings don’t look like your normal animal bite or simple ‘blade-to-flesh’ contact. It’s almost monstrous, but there’s no such thing as monsters…
Right?
Play as a male, female, or nonbinary mortician who is dragged into a series of murders in the city of Aevum.
Be dragged into the investigation by strangers who seem far more invested in this than the local police force. Not to mention, something about them seem… Strange.
Piece together the mystery of what is going on in the city, attempting to put together the pattern and understand what the motive of the killer is, if there even is one.
Fall in love, or don’t. The choice is yours as strangely enough, people seem drawn to you despite your efforts and attempt to keep people out of your life. Make friends or enemies, find those to who are worthy to trust, or misplace your trust elsewhere.
Will you catch the killer, or will the killer catch you?
CONTENT WARNINGS
There are a few things that might trigger some individuals — death, violence, gore, lots of dead bodies, discrimination, and sexual content. Please don’t hesitate to tell me if there are other things that should be added to the warnings.

THE SATYA SOCIETY is my current project, a slice-of-life visual novel that will be free-to-play, with an optional paid version for extra romance routes available. This is a long-drawn process that I’m excited to share with you all, but to do so, I’ll need you to bear with me! The actual VN will be published through @studioduchess , but since this is my project, this blog is mine to share progress and hopefully gain some interest.
PREMISE?—
Stonewell Academy for Troubled Youth and Adolescence (SATYA) is an off-the-grid reformative boarding school for students from middle school all the way through to college. You are Stonewells newest addition, a 14-year-old ‘delinquent’ that will traverse your way through reform school life for the foreseeable future. As Stonewell ages, so do you — and you find yourself making friends (and enemies) that could last a lifetime. Let Stonewell reform your ways, or rebel alongside your friends and make memories none could forget— if you’re lucky, you may even grow close enough with our cast to form your own secret society…
WHY SHOULD I SUPPORT YOU?—
Because I am a lonesome girl writing a whole ass visual novel while her gap year gives her the free time. Obviously you have every right to scroll past me, but any support genuinely means a lot to me. Likes, reblogs and follows motivate me beyond belief, and I promise I can bring something to you worth following for. I am not asking for financial help yet, I wouldn’t ask for money from anyone without giving them something in return. Until I can provide more of a structured advertisement, all expenses will be paid by yours truly. *crying eyes*
WHERES OUR STEAMY ROMANCE?!?!???—
It is here, my darling dearest. The SATYA Society is rated 17+ for skippable suggestive/sexual scenes later on when everyone is of age. In the free version, you have 2 main romances you can pursue, one male and one female. With the paid version, your romantic interests jump from 2 to 7, with 2 polyamorous routes available within the cast. No romance paths are gender-locked, but some RO’s do have preferences, and will be easier to romance as certain genders. You can set how comfortable you are with physical affection, as well, which will stop/encourage characters to hug, kiss you etc.
HOW CUSTOMISABLE ARE WE?—
I’m gonna be honest, I was definitely thinking of gender-locking your character to make things (a lot) easier for me, and I’m still considering it. But for now, your name, gender and sexuality are completely customisable. You can customise your appearance, personality and even personalise your background before coming to Stonewell Academy. Your family is prewritten and can’t be changed, but you can decide your relationship with them, alongside everyone at the school. My goal with this book was to give y’all great replay value, and I believe I’ve done just that. You can experience two completely different stories with each play through.
HOW MUCH HAVE YOU EVEN DONE, YOU SEEM LIKE A DISORGANISED PRICK—
First of all, that’s rude. But I’ve almost finished writing everything. My next step after finishing the writing is to get the cast drawn (I’m adept in my art but honestly if I can afford it I’ll commission someone), get the story coded and put it all together to release. This will take a hell of a while, so don’t get too excited, haha.
WHO ARE YOU?—
I’m Christina :) I’ve been writing since I was 14, and loving visual novels and interactive fiction since 15. I’ve just graduated from high school last year, and am taking a gap year before going off to college. I won’t admit that I used to write fanfiction, and may or may not have gained a real following writing smut on tumblr LMAO… regardless though, I’m really passionate about storytelling, and have some real cool ideas to share.
CAN I ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT _______???—
Yes. Please please do, I want to share this with you as I write, I promise I’m nice LMAO
ROMANCE CAST!—
FREE VERSION:
Isaac Spence is your main male romance option. He is the glistening sun, as some would say— bright and gorgeous, tall and warm. Isaac is your typical boy-next-door, always on his best behaviour, kind and welcoming towards most, it makes you wonder what he did to get himself sent out to a reform school. If you play as a male, Isaac will be your roommate! In the first act, and half of the second act, Isaac is dating Courtney Knight, who just so happens to be your other main romance option… 👀
*Full character profile coming
Courtney Knight is not the girl next door. She is an aspiring clothing designer who is just about as entitled as they come. She manages to keep a close group of friends, however, so there must be more to her than just a catty somebody. Courtney expresses her love teasingly, rather than warmly like Isaac. (Maybe that’s why they don’t work out, haha). She is strong willed and very much an independent woman— sure, it takes a while to gain her trust, but you might have a valuable relationship with Courtney if you try hard enough. If you play as a female, Courtney is your roommate! In the first act, and half of the second act, she is dating Isaac Spence.
*Full character profile coming
PAID VERSION:
Mary DeSmidt is quiet and inconsolable. Rumours float around the school about how such a sweet girl could get sent to the strictest standing reform school. She is the embodiment of kindness, and always willing to lend a helping hand to you. Mary is driven by emotions, and needs a bit more time than others to handle to growing change of life at a boarding school. She also takes a little more guidance when it comes to feelings, and has a more complex romance path than the others.
*Full character profile coming
Harper Vale is… a mayfly. He knows everything about everyone, floats between all the social groups at Stonewell Academy and still somehow doesn’t have a best friend. Courtney tells you he is a compulsive liar, and is trying to ‘manipulate the faculty out of a full ride at Stonewell’, which explains the perfect grades and attendance rates… Harpers romance path is…shaky, to put it nicely.
*Full character profile coming
Coen Day is hard to get to know. They’re always going off on their own, disappearing in the middle of class, not returning until night. Apparently their attendance rates are in the red, but Coen has always been known to run. Coen is quiet, sure, but they’re also loyal and smart. They would never share a secret of yours, or undermine your experiences and aspirations. Befriending Coen is a feat in itself, but one worth doing— Coen is the type of friend one needs at Stonewell. Coen is also asexual.
*Full character profile coming
Priya Hammond is a burning fire, scorching everything in her path. She is loud, capable and Courtney’s all time best friend. Priya has been sent to detention for questioning a teacher’s moral standpoint more times than once, and is very politically inclined. She is truly gifted with her brains, but would much rather search the depths of the internet for trivial facts about a small town in Europe than study for school a moment longer than she has to. Bring up any topic around her, she will know something about it.
*Full character profile coming
Laiken Allard-Rose arrives in the second act, and is Isaac’s childhood best friend. He is energy personified, always looking for an adventure to drag you along or a joke to crack at just the wrong time. Nothing is too daring for Laiken, and you’ll find that forming a friendship with him definitely includes him arriving at your window in the middle of the night to go on an adventure (raiding the school kitchens). Family is the most important thing to Laiken, and will do anything for you once you’re considered his family, whether romantically or platonically. ( i would play his romance route just to experience the dates he would take you on lol)
*Full character profile coming
POLYAMOROUS ROUTES:
* these characters can be romance together or apart.
Laiken & Isaac. Who knew the childhood best friends that may have had heavy crushes on each other growing up would end up romantically inclined… dates with these two are a festival of laughter and love. Isaacs warm presence and Laikens exciting romantic inclination is the perfect combination, and I’m sure the boys could show enough love to you for a lifetime more.
Priya & Coen. These personalities somehow work perfectly when it comes to love. Priya and Coen can be romanced together to create the ultimate game night team… their smarts, Priya’s competitive nature and Coen’s strategical thinking?? Automatic win.

Distribution: Fairly widespread; found in the eastern Pacific, from the gulf of California down to the gulf of Guayaquil, Ecuador, as well as parts of the Atlantic; inhabits waters from 2 to 60 metres in depth.
Habitat: Inhabits waters from 2 to 60 metres in depth; adults live on or in the bodies of fish; juveniles swim freely in the water column.
Diet: Parasitic; feeds off its host's blood and mucus; hosts include snappers, grunts, drums and grunions.
Description: The tongue-eating louse is an ectoparasitic isopod. A juvenile louse swims in the water column until it encounters a suitable host and attaches itself to its gills—soon after this maturing into a male. As it grows, the male eventually becomes female and migrates through the gills to its host's mouth, where it will use a pair of sharp claws to sever the blood vessels leading to its tongue. Once the tongue falls off due to necrosis, the louse will attach itself to the tongue stub and functionally "become" the fish's tongue. Surprisingly, this actually causes little damage to the fish, though hosts carrying many parasites are often underweight.
Once a host dies, the tongue-eating louse will eventually detach itself from its tongue stub, but will remain clinging to the head or body of its dead host. This species is completely harmless to humans, though can occasionally be found in the mouth of commercial fish.

one thing i love about the bratz is that they took their education seriously and helped each other whenever one of them needed the help. nothing is more fabulous than being educated and ambitious. you can do anything you put your mind to. 
create a study schedule for yourself and limit your distractions, when it’s time to study put your phone away and remove anything that you know will serve as a distraction to you, give yourself breaks from here and there too!
create a vision board! cut and paste pictures of things you want for your future onto a poster board or be creative and draw and color everything out! this is a great reminder everyday for yourself if you put it somewhere you’ll be able to see whenever you wake up or a spot in your room that you’re always looking at for example. (what you focus on grows!)
jot down all the things you want to do or improve on, whether thats creating good habits for yourself, learning a new language, etc.

Cutie… patootie... agouti? You might know the capybara, but what about its distant cousin the red-rumped agouti (Dasyprocta leporina)? This wide-ranging mammal can be found in forests throughout northern South America including Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela. Though smaller than its more famous relative, this hefty rodent can weigh up to 13 lbs (5.9 kg). It dines on a diet of fruit, nuts, and seeds. Like a squirrel, the agouti will bury surplus food to save for a later date. But sometimes this critter forgets to come back for its stash, spreading seeds throughout its habitat as a result.

if laughter is the best medicine...doesn't that make comedians doctors?
cons4eva’s name is “symbols.”
let me explain.
in this panel, he introduces himself by name. of course, it’s written in a font that looks alien. but i came across the dwarven font in the dungeons and dragons player handbook and recognized it from this panel. i immediately had to translate his name because i was insanely curious and wanted to know for writing and roleplaying purposes (i had a short-lived cons4eva rp blog). so i went in search of the font.
i found the font, called davek, available here, installed it on my computer, and went about figuring out cons4eva’s name. i noted that the name in the panel was upside down, compared to the original font and made the changes necessary.
so, once all the flips were made so the font was the right direction, i put the font to a regular font and got “.slobmys” as a result. period included because it’s included in the original text as well.
HOWEVER.
because i had done all that flipping, including the fact that the name was now “backwards” for the original name, we can put “.slobmys” backwards and get the name “symbols.”
whether this was intentional from either jro or the letterer, chris mowry, i don’t know, i’ve never asked, but i thought it was kind of cool that cons4eva’s name could be translated to an actual word and not nonsense, like some other times i’ve “translated” other text from primal vernacular. this was, as i said, mostly done for curiosity’s sake and fun, i just thought i’d share this little tidbit.
Honestly, to any fellow neurodivergents that struggle with doing tasks: have you tried doing the task intentionally badly?
I'm serious. I always used to struggle with getting schoolwork done on time. Then one day, out of a place of spite, I tried to write the shittiest assignment the teacher ever damn graded. (It was a stupid assignment.) Got fed up with the bit halfway through and began writing the assignment in earnest. This has helped me start shit halfway since.
Even if it doesn't work like that for other people, half-assed is better than not finished. Half ass cleaning? Guess what, the space is still cleaner.
If you are reading this, I encourage you to try that thing you are procrastinating on or struggling with using the minimum effort possible.

Where was the Jinx who killed a crow just because it surprised her, and just because she could, then used its feathers as bookmarks?
Where was the Jinx who massacred Firelights with no hesitation or remorse, and was so violent towards them that even Vi was shocked?
Where was the Jinx who straddled Silco and repeatedly stabbed him in the face because she thought he lied to her?
Where was the Jinx who blew enforcers to pieces on the bridge, then stalked through the bloody aftermath, mercilessly picking off survivors one by one while humming a song?
Where was the Jinx who smiled while tormenting Vi by pretending she had Caitlyn's severed head on a platter?
Where was the Jinx who tied Sevika up, hit her, and threatened to cut her other arm off just for an interrogation, then strung her upside down after she got her answer?
Where was the Jinx who smiled like a gleeful child while shooting at people and when told of all the enforcers she killed?
Where was the Jinx who, in rage and grief after losing Silco, fired a Hextech rocket directly at the Council while hearing his voice telling her to let them burn?
Where was the terrifying and threatening force of destruction I fell in love with? She appeared a little in Season 2 Act 1, then never again. Did Baby Yoda give her a personality transplant along with curing her mental illness?

Told myself to continue a fic I’ve only posted one chapter on, ended up writing a fic / one shot about an au where Paula is a demon
Edit:
Found this little crucifix in my sewing kit. It reads “I Am A Catholic In Case Of An Assident (disease/symptom) Notify A Priest”. It’s been in my sewing kit for years but I never read the back part until today. This also taught me a new word, so that’s also cool!
Also wanted to include the front in case anyone was curious :3
I’m no longer catholic, I just thought it was interesting!
