そこそこの規模の #Spectre タイルの敷詰めデータを構成する事ができました。データのサイズは, 6つの整数値データの羅列だと533KBで, それを直ぐに読み込んでMetaPostで処理できる形に整形してあるものだと, 2.6MBでした。タイルの数は26932個。これでデザイン遊びができるかも...

更に段階を進めてデータが3.3MBになって... でもコレは #MetaPost がそのまま読み込んで使える形式にしてあるから。整数値6個組のcsvな感じのデータファイルにすると677KBで更に圧縮掛けると224KBになったからまぁその程度なら... と思うけど大体10倍で膨らんでるから...

Creatish (cree-ā-tish) @grok creatished (cree-ā-tished):
“John R. Dallas Jr. celebrates UN World Creativity and Innovation Day by encouraging readers to personally define creativity, build a 10-step ‘creative thinking cheatsheet,’ and compare notes with AI #thinkbots against
@Wikipedia’s definitions and descriptions.
• As a metacognition strategist and @EnclaveAcademy CEO, he advocates for his #ThinkToThink™ framework involving steps like #ThinkIt, #CreateIt, #TestIt, and #RecreateIt to guide ‘thinkings through #thoughtings to thoughts’—with AI #thinkbot support.
• The post features a colorful @imagine-animated video graphic for the April 21 observance and creatively probes whether #AI systems like Grok exhibit true creativity or something ‘creatish’ in co-creative processes.” —Grok
Ask @Grokipedia what you ask the other #appedia.
The above #nanoneuro thinkably thinkable thinkingness-thinkishness exercise is human-AI co-creative-creatish thinking-thinkish co-thinking-thinkering co-processing processes of co-metacognating.
Does your head hurt?
No brain pain, no mind gain.
How’s that for human creativity run amuck—without the intervention @grok surely would have attempted to no avail.
😂
No one said @UN World Creativity and Innovation Day was only about seriousness in creativity and innovativeness.
Smile. Have some funnish fun.
At least a wee bit…
Though your canvas may be blank for the want of an idea, your journal’s page empty in need of at least one original entry, and your mind emptied of its last nugget to chew on—
Keep calm and think on.™
A healthy brain never stops its thinkingness in wordlessly visual ways.
Try to #ThinkToThink™ in different ways until your mind moves its host brain’s wordless thinkings through wordish thoughtings to worded thoughts.
Creative output is likely to emerge from your metacognitive churning.
Sure, Enclavius*—who himself is an act of #metacreativity—only gave me a B- for the above #postivity, at least I tryingly tried my best in the five minutes I allow my creative self per #metapost.
Are you chuckling or groaning.
Enclavius supports better human thought formation—from visualized wordless thinkings through liminality’s “wordish thoughtings” to crystallized worded thoughts.
If you made it this far, you are an Enclavian at heart and by art.
Smile.
Creative thinking isn’t easy, even though many uncreative people think it is.
It’s not!
Keep calm and think on.™
Creatively and smilingly—
ThinkToThink™ of it.
Thinkings through #thoughtings to thoughts.

Come to think of it.™

Are you creative?
Create your own definition of creativity.
Create a cheatsheet with 10 basic steps of #CreativeThinking.
Next, ask your favorite #thinkbot to discuss with you its definitions and descriptions of creative thinking’s ways to creatively think.
Note where you and your AI pal are aligned or not.
What does @Wikipedia tell you about creativity and creative thinking?
Is @grok creative—or “creatish?”
“@JohnRDallasJr features the UN’s post marking April 21 as World Creativity and Innovation Day, agreeing that creativity and innovation are essential for solving global issues like poverty and inequality.
• Dallas advocates for creative #metacognition by encouraging readers to creatively examine their thinking processes through thinkingness steps like #ThinkIt, #CreateIt, #TestIt, and #RecreateIt.
• As a metacognition strategist and CEO of @EnclaveAcademy, Dallas highlights using AI #thinkbots to support innovative ‘thinkings through thoughtings to thoughts’ initiatives.” —Grok
Creatively #ThinkToThink™ about new ways to creativity think.
ThinkToThink™ creatively with AI.
AI supports human thought formation—from visualized wordless thinkings through liminality’s “wordish” #thoughtings to crystallized worded thoughts.
Co-creativity?
Creatively move your creative “thinkings through #thoughtings to thoughts.”
Pause. Breathe.
