A batch of the best highlights from what Josh's read, .
Printing as an event that is fundamentally secret, unseeable: you can only inspect the aftermath. Prints as “stains on one surface, attesting to damage done to another”! The [Sudarium of Saint Veronica](https://www.artic.edu/artworks/47146/the-sudarium-of-saint-veronica?utm_source=Robin_Sloan_sent_me) as an important early print! (Printing with the blood of a god!! See? That on its own is worth the price of admission.)
The Feeling of Something Waiting There for You

There are three characteristics of a Service:
- The operation performed by the Service refers to a domain concept which does not naturally belong to an Entity or Value Object.
- The operation performed refers to other objects in the domain.
- The operation is stateless.

I make a practice of regularly checking in about whether I have a dutiful stance towards some aspect of my research. Once I notice, I can usually summon curiosity by asking lots of questions, imagining potential implications, and so on. Michael Nielsen has some great notes on tactics for this in his [Notes on creative contexts](https://michaelnotebook.com/creative_context/index.html).. Often I need to improve the framing, to find one which better expresses what I’m deeply excited about. If I can’t find a problem statement which captures my curiosity, it’s best to drop the project for now.
