more groovy than proovy

After I woke up this morning, I thought about how I might identify as "more groovy than proovy", with some high probability.

More formally, my fluid hierarchy of intelligence-do tends to sample from the following space:


[%w(Imagen English Ruby Proofy)] * 2 <<
%w(Imagen Ruby English Proofy)


where "Imagen" is a pidgin mix of some languages visual, imaged, and imaginary.

...

I also have a feeling that there's something more deeply... there, in the formalism and language of fluid hierarchies. Something that has to do with the way ordered non-uniform random sampling without replacement, as an algorithmic process, is somehow self-similar and caught between the ridges of chaos and the valley plains of partial order.
