Analogue progress, Tuesday



Above is the seemingly final conversion of these very abstract operation diagrams. The primary thing here is to give primacy to the verbal operations, transmission, discernment, etc, that will bear fruit in the analogue.


Above is a better take on my current thinking for the analogue, now complete with actual aluminum sections. A good measure of the work went into figuring out the kinetic movement of the "Discernment 1" operation. A good deal more needs to go into how the counterweights are going to work in two directions.

I'll also say that conceptually it's not quite polished yet either. There are some things here that are plainly for expedience, but it helps to have something down on paper. I do want to note that the addition, expenditure, and "rewinding" of energy in this machine has the potential to boost it conceptually as well.
