It might be useful to know why I named my blog "artifacts." See, I'm fond of fractals. These are incredibly complex mathematical entities which are most easily studied empirically by means of computers. However, in making the necessary approximations, inaccuracies appear. They are often dead, uniform spaces that obscure some vital point whose details are too fine for the machine's precision to render. These are called artifacts of the process or algorithm, and the mathematical process that generates them is yet another degree more complex.
Life is like that. We're all individuals, and we each have to approximate some things. Often we gloss over really important stuff.
This blog is to reflect this eclectic nature of the world.
