WORD TRIP - THE APP Stuff you can't find explained anywhere else.

 I looked everywhere and found next to nothing explaining how to use the Word Trip app.
There's a web page that lists the word answers to every single puzzle though!
What I put together below are three screen shots with notes explaining most of word page, the completed puzzle page and the map page.  Also I've added a mini dictionary of the most common short words that start with vowels.  Every word has vowels.

I've only played for a month and done so as a guest. I know almost nothing about the clubs and chats and side competitions but what you see below will help you for a first time orientation.

Explain "knowing stuff" with Starlings

I think about word models to explain "knowing stuff".
My best vision is a murmuration of brain memes, mimicking the motions of starlings.
Like the murmuration, we can entertain contradictory motions and messages and let them play out against each other.

Asimov: Scientific knowledge has fractal properties

«I believe that scientific knowledge has fractal properties, that no matter how much we learn, whatever is left, however small it may seem, is just as infinitely complex as the whole was to start with»

CBC fake posts its government funding.

The artwork on this CBC financial bar graph is fabulous, is a fable.   The step from 600 million to 700 million income and the next step from 700 million to 1700 million  are the same size.  They snipped 900 million out of the visual display but left it on the text display, knowing most of us will fall for the visual.  How can they be this crazily duplicitous when public attention is upon them?  (Source: Powerline)
