- I woke up and started continuing my research on Cubism (at computer terminal no. 2); I looked up some sources on some of the things Gemini had told me, which seemed like historical facts, but needed to be corroborated with actual source material backing up the statements; Generative AI is notorious for sounding very confident in the truth of its statements, it's easy to be fooled by things that might not be true; they need to be fact-checked/verified;
- Then I printed out some materials from this line of research on computer terminal no. 1, then went to the main desk to read it, highlight it, and copy out some ideas and some citations from the printed materials, which were mainly citations that I was able to get out of the AI in the end; Now I am back at computer terminal no. 2 where I created some more pages to print out on the other computer terminal, to then take out and read, highlight, and reflect upon at the main desk; I do this for hours; I find it leads to the greatest number and depth of insights and discoveries;
- Here is some of what I've been working on with my recent research into the close collaboration between Braque and Picasso in the Cubist period;

- I just finished reading some important citations for my current research on the Picasso-Braque collaboration of early Cubism, content which I printed on computer terminal no. 1 and read at the main desk;
- Now I am at computer terminal no. 2 doing more research and writing this antilog, and next I'm going to go back to the main desk and possibly summarize and synthesize the day's work thus far onto some Refcards which I may use to record another video presentation of my Discourse on Cubism;
- I also have to go run a few errands, even though I'm still feeling a little under the weather from a recent virus I contracted; I may stop at my father's house to record some music he needs for a film he's making, and also perhaps some new compositions for my Seasons of The Heart Project; I may have to change the name of this project as "seasons of the heart" has already been used; sohas "seasons of the soul", which might work, but which sounds bizarre to me; I prefer "seasons of the heart"; I may just have to explain in my "liner notes" that this concept is a concept that has been around for ages, that has been rehashed and reinvented a thousand times; I work on it as part of my daily practice of musical composition, etc., etc.;
- Also, before I go, I was researching Benjamin's work on the concept of flâneur in Baudelaire and realized how important sound is for me when I'm going on my daily walks; It's not only the sound that I'm hypersensitive to, it's also the vestibular function or whatever it's called in the inner ear which has to do with balance and orientation in space; I am also hyperaware of this and am easily perturbed in my "internal/inward space" by sounds or by people walking by; it's not that I am perturbed by noise in itself, it's mostly the intentionality that goes with people who are largely unaware of themselves and especially unaware of the sound-space that they inhabit and contribute to.
