/#Easteropera mixtape #1 - Eden's Cobby

Easter's overture is told in a series of stories called mixtapes, which are a chronology of separate non-principal (motion) pictures that comprise Day 0 of the opera's first act, and may or may not have anything to do with the definition in the popular sense of the word. Whereas the opera itself is recorded with a virtual camera system (vcs), the mixtapes have no such photographic requirement. With each mixtape, we are following a certain character in singular form, offering up small tidbits of information related to the overall story arc. -------- This following verse is one of a number of preliminary scenes for the character 'Socks'. In the case of 'Socks', he is ultimately responsible for the murder of Felix Yota, a public accountant working for the City. That angle is critical as to why the District Attorney in the opera decides to campaign for public office in the manner that she does. The following mixtapes provide a first-look lede into said activity.

Background
'Socks' is the streetname given to an understudy gangster serving in the illegitimate business of 'Theo/Roscoe' throughout Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is a Black male in his early-twenties in age. His chosen nickname comes from the irony that he (proudly) does not wear socks with his everyday attire.

These days, he has just gotten news from his girlfriend that they are to be expecting their second child, another daughter, in the coming months. Although he is usually a reliable companyman, he always resorts to / relies on his instinct and selfish ways in his business dealings, which makes him an untrustworthy person to a large degree.

He has been under the employ of Roscoe for approximately two (2) years, and has risen to the rank of lieutenant within the kingpin's organization. Keeping in mind that he only got into the drug game to make money and not friends, he prioritizes his life in such a way that his lifestyle comes first, then family, and maybe other extracurriculars down the line. In that order. Now with an expanding family, Socks wants out of the game completely; his plan is to do a few more jobs, collect his money, gather his family and then vanish.

A careless individual, he makes his living being 'that guy' who gets the dirty stuff done. He is not a nice person, having probably murdered 12-15 people in cold blood since being employed by the organization. We're learning now that he is also a thief. If he is to be successful in executing his escape plan, he’ll have to control his impulses, and also watch is back.

- Scene 1 {Eden's Cobby} -

[characters: Socks, Foot Soldier, d0x]
-- Socks is alone, seated in a quiet place outside somewhere in the innercity. It is around mid-morning and he appears to be waiting for someone. It looks as if he is smoking a narcotic, but this could just as likely be tobacco cigarette. Someone approaches him from a short distance and they begin to converse. --

Foot Soldier: Uh.. Socks?
Socks: (looking up but not making direct eye contact) …Yeah.
Foot Soldier: I'm supposed to meet you -- (cut off)
Socks: -- What's your password?
Foot Soldier: 'zakee'.
Socks: Alright.
Foot Soldier: (reaches into his pocket and pulls out a bulky packaged envelope) Well, here it is. (he then starts to toss it before stepping closer to Socks and handing it to him instead) It's all there.
Socks: (nods)
Foot Soldier: I thought there were two (2) of you here?
Socks: That's right.
Foot Soldier: Where's the other -- (cut off)
Socks: The way this works is you deliver your bulk, and then pick up mine. (still puffing, he then points to a car at a distance) .. the black car over there.
Foot Soldier: Sario wants triple the manpower next time we have to make another move like this.
Socks: (making direct eye contact) I don't give a fuck about what Sario wants!
Foot Soldier: Tell that shit to Roscoe.
Socks: (chuckles)
Foot Soldier: Sario's concerned about Roz's call to axe that family last week without notice.
Socks: It wasn't Roscoe's call. He knew a little too much, .. our names, faces. (litters by flicking the butt of what he was puffing on)
Foot Soldier: Execution-style? Man, if that was you, somebody's got to let us know because Sario's the connect for that side of Olney.
Socks: Somebody did just let you know.
Foot Soldier: You work alone?
Socks: (pulls gun from under jacket and places it on bench next to him) Nope. Like I said, there are two of us.
Foot Soldier: Okay. (short pause) Looks like we're finished here. (begins to walk from where he came) Behind the back tire, right?
Socks: Yeah.

The Foot Soldier makes it to the car parked about seventy (70) yards away. Just as he searches for the suspected package in question, he is shot from behind. Minutes later, Socks makes a call to d0x, the organization’s technician and business intelligence, presumably to inform him of the ongoings. The actual meeting took place at 9:00am local time, but Socks told his superiors that it was scheduled for 9:30am.

Socks: (leaning on the side of his car after putting the wounded body of the Foot Soldier in the trunk) Hey, they never showed.
d0x: What?!
Socks: I've been here for like five (5) minutes. This was only supposed to be a one-minute deal. These people are making me nervous, man. I don't even know if we can trust this Mario motherfucker!
d0x: Hm. This is twice this month.
Socks: Did you give him the right place?
d0x: Yes! Coordinates back in Cobbs Creek, like we said.
Socks: Well, the motherfucker ain't here! This could be some sort of an ambush or something. I'm moving out.
d0x: Meet at the barbershop on 38th & Lansdowne.
Socks: Bet. I'm going to grab something to eat. I'll be there in twenty (20).
d0x: Make it ten (10).

Socks closes the call, opens his driver-side door, gets in the car, and drives off. We are to believe that he killed the Foot Soldier, placed his dead body in the trunk, and has stolen the loot.

/stewc notation

stewc notation (sn, rhetorically called a verse) :== the instrument-agnostic, language-independent, easy-to-decipher verbalization of some stewc assignment as meant for proof. In signing, the alphanumeric notation is essentially low-level symbolic "play code"*; an algorithm devised to instruct the jukebox on how, when, and what to type in stereo [stew choreography].** Referred to as a track (for tracing some token).

The Stewdio is the designated instrument for generating, reading, routing, and interpreting stewc notation. (See hologram, c@$#tag, touch-and-go, γ-proof, thread, stewc field. Compare genetic code, musical notation)
/// Stewc notation was devised by 🧑🏿Link Starbureiy.🤓

/signature

(digital) signature :== a server-side authenticator in a proof-of-work scheme.
[Do not confuse with key signature, time signature.]

Because each opus/fibor has an intentical ¢ent🪙 value associated with its image, only a finite number of ¢ents🪙 can be allocated to a signee (ie. stewcer). Such game logic (cassette+certificate+token) designation requires genuine digital validation/verification before or so push/pull requests can be approved for transaction (known as securing🔐). Otherwise, an object is subjected to double-spending, or a user can hypothetically create counterfeit (non-injective) assets - hijack the platform to forge proof - which is fraudulent and disallowed. (see stewc notation, coupon)
/// Signatures, manifested in tutti progression, are ultimately a means for reducing rotisserie stress.

As a further integrity measure, this data is defaulted to the ledger (as public information).
Function map: patch → γ-proof → cassette → signature → UUelcome

/opera

opera :== the program (of opus numbers) of a libretto. (see opus, developus, opera ludo, hash opera, #opéra-ballet🩰, ballet🩰, #libretto, γ-proof)
/// To me, an opera represents the 'flow of a proof'. It can also be a runtime. The works are purposed to layer codecs.

/tutti

tutti ("all together") :== the recombination of all cryptographical kernel components [stereotypography, operation, integer asymptotics, and ludology (SOIL) hashes] into a signal. (see cassette)

Function map: tutti → UUhistlegrass

/hash

A hash (#) :== some declarable datum (eg. weighted in ¢ents🪙), plus an operator* on that datum, mapped to an arbitrary function space.** Each index is a specific hash. The act of hashing would be congruent to bifurcation at some limit. (see patch, flageolet pencil✏️, thread, UUhistlegrass, crypto, twistorspace, hash opera, c@$#tag, stewc notation)

/toonage

Toonage (truncation of 'cartoonage'*) :== the diction given to the chronology of (cf. attempts at) iterations to 🧩puzzle solutions (toons).** Wordplay, but should be taken here like 'fine-tuning' (cf. musical tuning). Implies stereotyping on paper.

We tune^ the jukebox (UUe) by threading kernel libraries (+patchwork) for fugue damping.^^ Training comes from redundant server-side proofs🔒 of random walks, courtesy of games/gameplay, which lead to better Q♯🎶 compatibility.

Toons themselves are individually/inductively ordered (n + 1), but because it is feasible for two (2) or more to be confluent, offered is a finitary

Naming convention
Toonage is marked using the following standard alphanumeric:

Toonxx.nn[]# - where "xx" identifies the port, nn is the pencil✏️ count, the brackets [] carry the weight, and the addendum, #, is the episode (as an integer).
/// Toons (n+1 induction) exist because the time complexity of each proof requires a relatively large compute per. In other words, there is extreme likelihood that a game/opus will not be completely solved on the first attempt.
(see EGP, meshroom🍄, opus, cassette, crypto compliance, #recital, Funshine/Toonlight)
/// Principally validating file hierarchy.

/cassette [savefile]

Broadly, a cassette :== a mobile encode element (module) invoking loading. More specifically, a cassette refers to a discrete batch* (of libraries) that, when ported, becomes streamable.** Ordered via toonage.

These clients function as persistent data structures; nodally they run prints for site recombination / differentiation between cells. (Compare gene cassette. See mixtape, UUhistlegrass)
/// Each build is an updated and readied implementation of lnq🧑🏿 (Q♯🎶 score + drivers). It is anticipated that the abi should cumulatively grow in size.
+I refer to distros of cassettes (in circulation) as 'toys'.
Function map: cassette ⇔ UUelcome

/UUhistlegrass

UUhistlegrass©™ (or grass) :== Q♯ libretti^@ [ie. paper roll of flowchart^{^} objects (eg. postcards, stamps, stickers, etc.)].@@ A libretto is a scored+digested thread compile of staging+music relating the preimagery to the image. ^^ stream (see 🧑🏿lnq's Starting Five, UUelcome License)
/// +All proof-of-work outputs to the ledger, however, some entries - like miscellany (#miscellany) and blurb (#blurb) - may be excluded from archiving, which catalogues 🧑🏿Link Starbureiy's compositions/signatures. Executables are filed under #libretto, articles (eg. 'papers') under #article.
+This libretto [essentially a cartridge of individual compiles (cassettes) that are organized by ephemera (hash)] corresponds to a logfile. To a degree, it may be likened to sheet music, or the dopesheet in traditional animation.

+ The contents of these documents may meet basic disclosure/transparency requirements as codified by federal law and referential scholarship. Additionally, they fulfill specific accounting standards as promulgated by certain preservation ordinances. Identification UUhistlegrass has a permanent record with the Library of Congress in the United States of America, as through an issued International Standard Serial Number (ISSN). //: ISSN 2165-6738 Furthermore, that same record is catalogued by WorldCat with the following catalog number: OCLC 774054633
