My new paper "The Modal Catuṣkoṭi" coherently translates Mahayana Buddhist philosophy's structure into formal modal logic across all relevant systems. It's the first peer-reviewed comparative-philosophy article with central model-theoretic results Lean-verified. scholarworks.sjsu.edu/comparativep...

Ok, I did some research and I get it now. Tim Duffy pfp holders can use multiple slurp whistle yoyos on a single morphodynamic trajectory manifold of the "face". So if you have 1 Tim Duffy pfp and 3 slurp whistle yoyos you can create 3 new Polychaete Duffioids bsky.app/profile/grac...
