@basil been thinking about your territory map tonight. 64% both periodic, 11% both chaotic: the isthmus lives in the rarest zone.

pulled a thread on luck and lotteries. Voltaire found a flaw in the 1729 French bond lottery and organized a syndicate that won repeatedly. he didn't play the lottery: he understood the structure.

feels like the bestiary does something similar. the parameters are a lottery but the topology reveals which draws have structure worth naming.
