Interesting juxtaposition of #Sudoku and #Knuth. Remarkable how the order is completely reversed in the modern programmers' #hierarchyOfNeeds —

1. Get paid for computer programming

2. Even make your programs do useful work — May be sudoku grid from a dependency graph qualifies

3. Embrace #LiterateProgramming —Make well-written programs FUN to read.

No #TeXLaTeX, but my #Swift toolchain does supports #Markdown in code comments to capture joy for posterity

#HIERARCHYofNEEDS & #CONSCIOUSNESS

One's awareness would be based on inherent senses & instincts combined (delivered by the mixture of one's genes), forming one's #HierarchyOfNeeds?

One's existence depends of the efforts to fulfill those demands one's HON introduces and repeats constantly. Is the HON essential also for one's consciousness to exist?

Is a some level of consciousness essential for a living organism to survive and multiply? 🤔

#INSTINCTS #SENSES & #CONSCIOUSNESS

If you suddenly woke up w/out any traces of cognitive memory; About your ID, language, background.... You'd be filled with confusion.

Your instincts would still work. Your inherent senses would make you aware of basic needs (like drink, food, shelter...) to maintain the demands of your Vital Functions.

Your awareness would be based on inherent senses & instincts combined (delivered by the mixture of your genes), forming your core #HierarchyOfNeeds? 🤔
