i have being trying to reconceptualiße sūdoku for a while now;
i failed so many times, at trying to translate
it into the equivalent of a western origin,
away from the japanese gensis. i tried many times,
it really took me a few weeks of drinking to finally get it,
i couldn't stop laughing, and i mean: out loud,
because few people can manage that sort of antic these days,
that hedonistic zenith.
so while no. 9007 became solved
i realised what i was doing...
no. 9007?
5 3 9 8 4 6 2 1 7
8 7 1 3 2 9 5 6 4
6 4 2 5 1 7 8 3 9
7 6 4 2 9 8 1 5 3
1 2 3 4 7 5 9 8 6
9 8 5 6 3 1 4 7 2
3 9 7 1 8 2 6 4 5
4 5 8 9 6 3 7 2 1
2 1 6 7 5 4 3 9 8....
anyway, it became ****** obvious after a while...
i used to do this "*******" in the playground,
but before i tell you the "secret" i need to stress three explanations:
(a)
--> 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 <--
--> 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 <--
the <-- --> symbols? the direction the digits
were written in... i.e. from right to left
or from left to right...
but that's how it all started...
(b)
(x)
? x
+
x ?
x
now that's a representation of a graph,
the + meaning the axis
the xs representing knowns, and the question mark
being self-explanatory, and empty space that needs to be filled.
(c)
this is the funny part... this is where japanese reads
itself into english... the zenith of the conceptualisation of sūdoku...
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....
oh ****... stomach ache...
X 0 X
0 X 0
X 0 X or...
X 0 0
0 X 0
0 0 X all it ever was!
all it ever will be... is just a complex version of noughts and crosses!
or as some might call it... a set of tens!
in roman X = 10.
but that's before the concept
of 0 existed, so we can count that as 1, to qualify
the whole ****** thing as: 10 10 10 10 10... binary...
but that's what this japanese puzzle looks like, translated
into the latin alphabet... noughts and crosses... but obviously
a little bit more complex, since there are nine degrees of seperation...
it's an optometric trick the asians played:
in an english idiom variant: you just have to get your eyes around it,
or rather: into it...
just look at how complex the oriental
phonetic encoding is... no vowels? no consonants?
just syllables? i guess no leucippus or a democritus,
or an epicurus ventured into china, or japan,
or elsewhere for that matter, to introduce the linguistic atom,
that's a letter.
question is... are vowels masculine or are consonants feminine?
or is it the case that vowels are feminine (****** gasps
akin to drowning) and that consonants are masculine?
