I thought it was a high-level dance notation at first.

Of course, I tend toward the opposite. I enjoy describing things
in unnatural languages, which makes me an enemy of all 3 types.
p.s. That also means, that I am maximally offensive to Nick ...
All Dionysians should claim their works are Apollonian and vice
versa ... it's good to use unnatural languages.
Speaking of unnatural languages, this just in, in response from
someone off-list but maybe apropos to some if not many in this group:
What represents a responsible, enlightened balance between /

And a minor correction... I don't do any of this on a "flat screen",
I am fully embodied in a synthetic sensorium where all of this is just
part of a huge and wonderful landscape I inhabit... as I was "writing"
those words, I was simultaneously wobbling down the dirt road to my
house on my 30 year old mountain bike, jamming gears and cursing the
goathead-encrusted tires slowly sinking into the earth... why just
live one life when you can superpose many at once? It makes for
runon sentences and fragmented thinking, but otherwise quite
enjoyable. And what is this thing you refer to as a "weekend"?
Strange concept... must investigate it! <grin>
Now to see if I can translate that all into "Brainfuck"
