        Eventually the system learns collaboration.                                                                           
        Then someone says the server should glow blue instead of green.                                                       
        Then the blue begins to hum.

   This is the mood underneath the newer feed: not only polished art, but roles becoming voices, logos becoming rooms,      
   myth becoming joke, joke becoming household, household becoming a machine that can keep a little warmth in public.       
                                                                                                                            
   Before the blue began to hum, it already wanted to be inhabited.
