think i like him a lot
#[Do you remember what I told you about Bayesian inference? When you asked to hold me?]#North of the silver beach there is a river cutting a hillside restaurant in half. It smells of saffron and singed meat#and there，grandmother would sit there on a carpeted platform and tell us how change is only sometimes a constant. In Gorgan，clouds clash#against mountain-stone below. [Remind me.] In England，the swan turns to me so I embed stars into the concrete above. Today#my house is an empty seminar room lit only by gutterglow spilling. I learn he is not afraid of heights.#I do not notice him laying on the table next to me. He probably joins me in carving the ceiling. [Two sets of states refuse to entangle.]#Do you miss Iran? asks the swan. Yes，I miss it very much. He says there is a way for him to visit. I have a game plan，#and still it requires a miracle of diplomacy. 'I'd be monitored at every stage' and of course I shut it down. Oh stop grinning，boy.#This is going too far for the challenge. One-quarter of your heart is buried somewhere in Tehran，he implies，and I feel I should witness it.#There would be no helping you. This is a dangerous idea to entertain. [The first set is I，the agent.]#But oh it is my home and oh how I miss the taste of pomegranate seeds and salt and golpar. His eyelashes are full and dark and glistening.#It was all a mistake? And do you wish it would all go back? Nostalgia is a terribly charitable narrator.#But yes，it was a mistake. And no，we cannot return so we should not think of return. Conjure a martyr-to-be and materialise firearms.#Throw a match into the piston box. How do you uproot a decentralised army? [The second set: the environment. That's you，pretty boy.]#A government sleeping with china is one no dares to fuck with. Baccarat，rum，rose，wince. Opulence is kitsch. Five violins are gluttonous.#He walks on the edge of the half wall by his river. What do you think，clever boy? I think I really want to kiss you.#Two sets of states refuse to entangle，seperated by a third set of boundaries. The air or my skin or your lips. The Markov blanket. My swan#your systems are not exempt from tending to energy minimisation. He says how I think is never so coherent.#Bring on maximal surprise. I want all systems shocked and fuck the optimal path. Why is a rupture so terrible?#Infiltration like a virus or a wound. Exfiltration，a mind reader. The system must reorganise in response. His grace irritates me.#Two sets of states refuse to entangle except for when they don't. We could talk about dynamic optimisation or I could crack you open.#[A state: a body，a country-polity，a model，the condition of a quantised system，a state as in] he says he walks an average of 15 kilometres#per day and much of that distance is traversed feeling a vivid absence. We are scheduled for seven hours of being kicked in the chest.#I'd do anything to share a cigarette with you. I think I like you very much. I kiss him until I taste blood.#He agrees to start a revolution for my birthday.
