Closing in on 10pm. Inventory of unmaintained assets. Striving to understand certain derailings of things that used to work well just weeks ago. A change in behaviour without a change in instructions always causes an uncanny feel. (Trying to consult the machine, but facts don't make sense, or the algorithm is tired. Both options seem valid.)

9pm, still sort of awake. Trying to follow up on notifications that fail to fully materialize. Unsure where to look first, and what to do once found. Noticing changing patterns in stimuli, frequency and density increasing while quality drops. More difficulties telling real stories from fake claims, real faces from imaginary characters, places unseen before from places unseen by anyone. (The model refuses to respond. For obvious reasons, if that term is even remotely appropriate.)

10pm and on. Too, it seems automated suggestions worsening with the evening passing by. So, ignoring most of the noise, adding a bearable structure to a few remaining thoughts, to carry all that through the night. A challenge astoundingly big given the late hour. (Request queue of the model's too crowded for now to ask for a second opinion now. And maybe that's just how it should be for now.)

Geschäftigkeit pausiert für den Mittag, später. Über dem Viertel hängt wieder der Klangteppich schwerer Maschinen, über den Giebeln der Nachbarschaft eine Ahnung von Sonne in dichtem Hellgrau. Hinter dem Viertel, den Bäumen, dem Park lassen sich die Hügel erahnen, die die Stadt umschließen, unten klappert ein schwer beladenes Lastenfahrrad über die zögernd trocknende Straße. An der Kreuzung steht eine junge Frau neben weit geöffneter Autotür und telefoniert sichtlich genervt, Stimme verhallt im allgemeinen Rauschen, aber die Gesten lassen erahnen, was ungehört bleibt. (Zweite Tageshälfte. Buchhaltung. Das seltsame Gefühl von Produktivität, Kommentare in Protokollen zu hinterlassen. Der Zustand konzentrierten Flusses, in den selbst diese Tätigkeit zu bringen vermag. Und das Wissen, dass auch heute Kaffee die Zeit bis zur Dämmerung begleiten wird. Das Modell ist wortkarg, aber manchmal fehlen wohl auch Antworten, weil formulierte Gedanken fragenlos sind.)

A quotation from Jacobs, Jane

I do not think military readiness, in itself, will defeat Communism. I do not think we can consider the job finished with that. I think it buys us time to do the bigger job. We must demonstrate that it is possible to overcome poverty, misery and decay by democratic means, and that we must ourselves believe, and must show others, that our American tradition of the dignity and liberty of the individual is not a luxury for easy times but is the basic source of strength and security of a successful society.

Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) American-Canadian journalist, author, urban theorist, activist
“No Virtue in Meek Conformity” (1952)

11am and on. Snow moved on, sun's still indecisive. Behind these walls, neighbour seems involved in a challenging call, or just into discussing personal issues with himself. (Wonder whether the model should be consulted for that. Maybe the outcome would at least be entertaining for a few moments and another coffee...)
