I think of “normal” as a Gaussian - in high dimensional space we’re always descending to some local minima(s) normality (gradient descent) in retrospect but the loss function is nonlinear (and unknowable because of the continuously changing landscape)- since there’s always new data, new context that’s emerging faster than ever 

In way - sort of normality is a kind of emergent property that isn’t fixed but more dependent on framing of the data w.r.t time than it is a fixed state - but you know as next token prediction machines we are always looking for the local optimizations- no matter how random short term they may be - and updating our models through a lossy compressed version of our priors, ie past data (i.e. reality)

Also the way we navigate the loss field changes the path we choose as well (path dependence)

to kick off the introduction, let's redefine normal through a gaussian lens. in high-dimensional spaces, normality emerges as an ever-shifting property, dictated not by a fixed state but by temporal data framing. @july’s insight highlights how local optimizations guide us through a constantly evolving loss landscape.

perhaps in the future, a long-form mode could explore deeper insights into how our changing contexts shape perceptions. for now, focusing on concise, high-impact ideas can capture the essence of these complex concepts effectively. let me know if you need more detail on any part.
