i want  to make art
that i can look back at and use to remember
who was i, what was i going through?

i want to make art
that i can show someone --
not necessarily just anyone, but
i should feel comfortable enough sharing it
that i don't avoid it
so in that sense maybe it should be safe
enough.

i want to make art
every day, connecting my present self
to every future self i'll ever become.

i want to make art
for these reasons.

game 6 is instrumental.
does it accomplish these goals?
does it connect me to myself?
does it connect me to others--
the others i want to connect to?
the others i'll want to connect to tomorrow?

these are the design pillars
of game 6
which has yet to reveal itself.

"when you make a game, you decide what to do with it. you decide who plays it. nothing is given. you may play it, or not play it. your friend may play it, or not play it. if a game falls in the forest, it is a game."

"see score run
your life as a cell of a larger
being without questioning
    its humanity or purpose purpose
being a self
    centered concept and useless
    for our game's purposes — Ah.
    i see i've done it too ascribing
    a human purpose to an inhuman
being."

1. orient yourself as best you can.
    find a map, and your place there.
    point north and know where north is.
    face north.

2. you know where you are.

3. forget where you are.
    forget where north is.

0. you are a child again.
