			For the first time in months, potentially a year, I got truly astonished and excited by a technical tool. Not just the people making it, its politics, its relevance, but the actual change it marks and potential it unleashes.

			This technology is the [https://reticulum.community Reticulum] protocol.

			[https://git.xpub.nl/tommi/poouli Pöuli] is [https://pypi.org/project/poouli a Python package] originally conceived to upload a subset of my personal knowledge repository, <cite>[https://tommi.space/jam/ the Jam]</cite>, to my Personal Reader, [[User:Tommi/PaJamas]].

			My initial hope was for it to flourish beyond this specific use-case, and be helpful for other XPUB students or wiki adventurers. Nevertheless, I realised that there are many technical hurdles to make it full-featured and cover edge-cases, and I am not spending too much time on it to address them all.

			The name “Pöuli” (equivalent of PoOuli) stands for:
			* Practically Often Used Lovely Interface
			* Petty yet Outstanding Utility Leading to Integration
			* Phenomenal Optimistic Useful Lovely Idea
			* Paradoxically Obscure but Unstoppable Link Ignitor

			It is the anagram of Oulipo, the eclectic, mad, and maddening collective of artists formed in the ’60s.

			Marina (see below) is a '''meta-balance''': a balance that reflects about balancing itself. The equilibrium is dynamic, not static. What this meta-balance does is the exact same of what XPUB does for me: '''it transforms a tension into an equilibrium'''.

			Within the context of this master course, I am constantly re-evaluating the relationship between opposing tendencies that rarely find fulfillment in the extremes, but rather in a delicate balancing act.




			<hr>





			What follows is a chronological summary of the key moments and reflections of [[User:Tommi/SI28\|Special Issue 28]] and [[User:Tommi/SI29\|Special Issue 29]] the linked pages gather a more comprehensive account of all my thoughts and the relative documentation.

	For the final event of [[User:Tommi/SI28\|Special Issue 28]], I performed a seance questioning the fictional Gods of Tools about the nature of the ultimate machine I would ever need. <cite>[[The Metathinking Metamachine]]</cite> has been the result of a lot of confusion and alienation caused by my implacable obsession for tools, and the sudden realisation that I was not part of any group to make the final project, thus ending up alone.
