+## Introduction
+
+How would a professional camp in an urban environment? Camping is a general activity, which 
+could be done out of necessity or by choice. Time at camp can include leisure and productive time 
+alike. This guide is divided into two parts: “Basics” require no electricity, and “Luxuries” expands 
+upon the Basics with electricity and automated services. It is written for a moderate climate (35-
+75F); true, in post-pandemic times Electricity and IT are practically basics, but we’ve separated 
+them out because it’s a natural way of thinking.
+Urban Camping is great in San Francisco, where this guide was written mainly in a Civic during the 
+pandemic and edited in motels and while traveling. Dwelling in a vehicle is an excellent option in 
+moderate places. With the proper facilities, the vehicle is comfortable for most of the day and can be
+left or parked in different places according to desires—sunshine, shade, views, privacy, etc. The 
+local homeless population are in tents but their living situation is almost identical except for 
+Moving.
+Future guides may explore aspects such as Physics and Stealth in detail.
+
+### Science & Law
+
+This work is cross discipline. The processes and methods are informed by Computer Science, which 
+explores the other areas in a generally depth-first fashion. Since it is open source and controversial, 
+authors may be exposed to liabilities for developing knowledge in public via experimentation. The 
+work itself should include proper defense for legitimate efforts, as the impact can be wide—Van Life 
+is fun and by choice, but each month an increasing number of people are losing their homes and can 
+benefit from this work, which amounts to a net gain to society—more readers, fewer piss bottles near 
+trash cans. More understanding of the processes of the universe, easier reflection of the things it 
+shows to the reader. (Eg. I never litter, but sometimes water bottles fly out of my bike drink holder… 
+yesterday I bought smart water and lost it such, and then later saw smart water bottle on the ground 
+somewhere new and of a smaller size… I recall this happening before, feeling like a trend… but then 
+the whole download could just include the feeling of having done it before. If I sat for some imnutesI 
+eel I could pull the image o the bottle out).
+There exist law enforcement databases for people of special interest. One is for people with 
+restraining orders, and one can imagine there are more such as released violent offenders. It may be hard to discern what lists exist and that one is on. Some observed effects of being on lists may be 
+police presence beyond chance at places that are frequented, unfriendly shop keepers, and other things
+that people of color talk about related to “racism.”
+Productivity
+Habits are the #1 way to unlock productivity. Intensity beats consistency every time (Bruce Lee), and 
+programming based on scheduling needs and preferences can dominate gains made by 
+inconveniencing oneself and working up will (Ms. Olympia 2x).
+Developing one habit at a time is the best way to reach self actualization, and each habit can require 
+from about 7 to 40 repetitions the first time with so-called muscle memory kicking in on subsequent 
+implementations of the habit if it is broken.
+There exists a set of habits that can be built from the ground up to the top of Maslow’s hierarchy, 
+perhaps in a varied order depending on the work of a person. The aim of this work is to document 
+those habits and provide a means of realizing them for one who has nothing beyond the skin on their 
+back and is stranded on a beach [1]. Most readers will start in a position better off, but indeed writing 
+the by establishing habits one-by-one was the aim. For example writing and edition were determined 
+to be separate but interdependent tasks with separate needs, and life without running water or 
+electricity forced me to find ways to get by that calls those items luxuries.

+Physics
+Quantify processes
+Establish bounds (global).
+This may be more prominent in the Security book where we explore models.
+“The Physics of Homelessness” was the original title of the work, but this book became just the first 
+volume because it’s quite the undertaking. Algebra is a component of physics, so indeed this work 
+could be the Algebra of Homelessness, but indeed the material applies to a wider range of people including the professionals who live in their car by choice or due to bumps in life such as myself 
+(likely paying light karma).

+Incentives to distract.
+Fail-safe routines. Eg. failure to pick up the phone.
+Imagine playing a game of The Sims where instead of starting with $20k you start with $0. Where 
+would you sleep and shower? How would you find a job using just mail service and a phone [1].

+Legal publications
+Common for ____ discipline___. (don’t know what don’t know).
+Conservation of Energy (Law of Karma)
+The conservation of energy means that each action has an equal and opposite reaction, and indeed the 
+word Karma means action. The Bible does not explicitly use the word Karma, but it is a book of 
+Justice and Money which represents balance and energy flow. The activities required for life will 
+always be allowed without creating non-beneficial reactions, and indeed doing the work to maintain 
+oneself to a Godly standard invites beneficial reactions from others who are pleased by the sight of 
+God—except of course for the demonically possessed, who are also free to form prosperous weapons 
+against the unrighteous who lack God’s protection. Being dirty or tired or eating junk food open doors
+to demonic possession and are disgusting to God who withdraws his protection. A common 
+misconception is that God punishes, when in fact he protects and Lucifer petitions him for permission
+to punish (God of creation vs. god of the earth).

+### Weather
+
+Cover from wind and sun, a blanket, a hooded sweat shirt can make all the difference.
+One hour of productivity per day is infinitely more than zero. It can be mentally taxing to focus 
+when the weather isn’t great, but everything is in mind. 
+ When the weather is just right and one has access to a shower and the proper clothing then they can 
+seek work; when that’s not the case, one can not present themselves well and will find it harder to 
+get work and make so-called choose to not seek it. Be truthful with yourself and God will allow 
+whatever is required.
+The time of day can play a major role in temperature. Long days will give more working hours, but 
+there may also be a longer gap of heat and direct sunlight in the middle of the day. 
+When the hand gets hot, it also sweats which causes grease on the device which may seep inside.
+Rainy days can be leveraged for productivity. 
+Hot phone. 70 degrees outside, heats up car. Covered windows mean more shade but less 
+circulation. Open windows mean air flow but also more wind and noise and less security.
+Heat wave. There are microclimates in some places.
+Winter. Winter creates an urgent need for resources that in some cases are best met by “digging in 
+the garbage” such as returning to an ex partner. God provides and protects, and so if one becomes 
+trapped in such a situation then there is a way out yet and hope must be maintained and it is for a 
+reason, Karma that must be paid—hard as that is to write and likely read for many (prayer may 
+help).Drought. Perhaps a scarcity of food. Extra body weight can perhaps be put on if this is anticipated. 
+Artesian wells may provide a life line, so it is good to know where the nearest ones are. Diet may 
+have to change in include imported items like dairy or preserved meats, though in all likelihood 
+those will run out before dried nuts as people perceive them to have more nutritional value than nuts
+and berries. Travel may be required to attain resources from a better climate if camping is 
+involuntary such as homelessness or disaster displacement.
+40F min daily temperature and above make a reasonable experience living outside. Below that it’s 
+uncomfortable to have skin exposed like fingers. 
+Have you ever been locked out of your house? That’s the best approximation to what it feels like to 
+be homeless. In most peoples’ cases they can afford to call a locksmith or pay the landlord’s fee, 
+while they burn an hour or two. Locked out without a mobile? 95% of people will be beyond 
+confused and freeze to death in the snow before they consider options for accessing a phone to call a
+locksmith or the landlord. What is an option? Walk to a nearby business and ask to use their phone; 
+homeless people do this as part of their daily routine.

+### Travel
+
+Travel is the most basic thing we can do, beyond moving the head on our neck. We can walk, ride a 
+bicycle or skateboard or roller blade, ride a scooter or a motorcycle, drive a car or pickup truck or 
+van or more.
+To walk we’ll need some shoes or fancier modes of transportation with routine maintenance. Some 
+modes are good for some things, and others for others… some offer expanded horizons. Each have 
+time and cost trade-offs. In addition to physical travel, one can think of this book as a mental 
+journey from poverty to sustainability,
+Travel Principles:
+If it fit yesterday then it fits today.
+Empty with cycles.
+Add with consideration.
+Not all offers can be taken, unfortunately.
+Similar to leaving things saved so you never wonder.
+Leave things as you found themPut them away as if you’ll want them next time.
+The table below is an illustration for people unfamiliar with a wide range of travel.
+
+[ TABLE ]
+
+
+ Zone 3 city with natural barriers on 3 sides and multiple world class 
+economies.
+Traveling requires luggage based on what activities are intended for the journey or at the destination 
+and how long the stay will be and what resources will be available upon arrival. A letter of intent is a
+good framework for thinking about any travel, including for employment. The right to retreat must 
+be maintained and generally the best place to retreat is back to the last safe place—animals have an 
+instinctive memory of their last safe locations and humans while more complex with Maslow’s 
+hierarchy have same same mechanism. A job offer to move 2,000 miles across the country need 
+include provisions for it not working out, for example, to avoid a vulnerable situation that can 
+amount to being trapped in a slavery situation. God protects yet care must be taken to avoid falling 
+into such traps. Time is allowed to test spirits which includes negotiation, and so resistance or 
+pressure is a sign that the employer may be of a different spirit (not equally yoked) and the 
+arrangement may not be healthy (See also: Offers in prior edition or uncut source material).

+### Water
+
+In the absence of all else, water is required to survive and sustain a fast. In the event of low savings, 
+it is wise to prepare for a 3-5 day fast. If possible, one can keep $3 for an emergency coconut water 
+and have enough water on hand, about 0.75 gallons per day.
+Bathing takes about 2 gallons of water per week, vs. showering daily at 30+ gallons per shower. 
+Very green and eco friendly. This makes urban camping a good approach. Apparently using plain 
+waiter may be good, and recent cultural norms are shifting to more lax bathing.

+### Food
+After some days it may be necessary to eat. Immediately cutting out all animal products while 
+traveling without fixed accommodations can be wise… they show up more than one might imagine, 
+but start with what you can see. Dairy and meat go bad very quickly and with severe consequence; it
+takes one experience to realize that this isn’t about saving the animals.
+Storage is OK if the temp. remains below 41F, otherwise it should be avoided… all but the softest 
+produce is OK after 12 hours, but after 24 hours all bets are off… so planning from dinner to lunch 
+is a good idea.
+A sink with ice may be enough to keep take out food fresh, if well insulated.
+I follow the warrior diet and do it vegan style. Eat in the evening, (3/4).
+It’s good to eat as much fresh food as possible. Its alkaline is good for our body. It’s tempting to 
+think that eating 2k calories of oatmeal is a way to save money, and indeed it can be used every 
+other day or similar for a 25% savings. But one can not survive on non-perishable food for very 
+long, while remaining sober and vigilant—almost by definition, there are hard to process 
+compounds in the non-perishables that are hard for the body to process ie. take energy that could be 
+used for constructive processes in digestion. Oatmeal for example is mucho sugar, and the low sugar
+variety is lower calories and thus requires more consumed to match calories and may raise the cost. 
+Also, foods like oatmeal that are high in sugar are great before workouts for example, because the 
+sugar is used immediately rather than creating stress in the body that manifests as anxiety and 
+sweating and more.
+Vomit can happen. It’s good to vomit into a bio bag, push out the gas and tie it shut, and then repeat 
+to avoid puncture. The cooler the storage location the better, and the more immediate the disposal 
+the better as well. A bio bag can hold bile vomit for weeks.

+### Potty
+
+Toilet is the first pro homeless skill to master, as it consumes a service with no exchange. Typically a
+park or mall or department store will have a bathroom available, and random trips to it suffice. After
+a week of regular trips, somebody will notice and start watching and expulsion could be a matter of 
+time—and people are liberal with their slander of vagrants and homeless.
+Pooping into a bio bag is the best course of action. I am aware of the possibility of using composting
+toilet matter and have not found a source of the material after a cursory search. SF Bay Area, 
+imagining a 1lb block of hamster cage wood dust/chips. Maybe that’s the solution. Currently I then 
+put that in a semi-sealed container like a coffee cup or a chip bag, which holds the smell.
+Peeing into a bottle is fine. I recommend 1 gallon bottles that are used for water, with secure screwon lids that can be discretely dumped and then recycled for example in a backpack at a pack. I’ve 
+seen other VanLifers use glass water bottles… I question the full cycle of maintenance.
+Pooping in the tent can make or break a work day, but one must manage the smell. A reusable 
+container to seal in the smell can be tempting, but then it will absorb the smell of poop and become 
+very unpleasant to work with. Better is to wrap the poop bag into a bag saved from chips or a coffee 
+cup. These options will be limited by the temperature and airflow of the environment, and make a 
+good option for early morning poop schedules. Eg. The poop comes at 5-11am and then fast is 
+broken at 1-3pm and toilet containers placed in waste and dumped in a can on the way to pick up 
+food.
+Roll up your sleeve before you shit. In a pinch a chip bag will work. Keep a spare with you, just in 
+case. Roll up the end up tight, pushing the air out. Then keep the bag pinched if possible. This is 
+overall better than wrapping the entire bag around itself, as far as air escaping.
+Food is one of the first things that people think of offering a homeless person.
+Free food is never free. The hidden costs are travel and bathroom. It’s wise to do without animal 
+products.Once the bathroom technique is mastered, it leads to a more pleasant end result than even using the 
+home toilet in some cases—wet tush wipes make all the difference, and certainly public bathrooms 
+do not accommodate them well or often.
+The defensibility of shitting in a bag is a hotly debated contemporary topic, and the reason that I’d 
+preferred to delay publication of the book until I was housed, perhaps second only to the concern 
+about sleeping in locations known by potential aggressors. No doubt I’m vulnerable to scape goating
+and example making. Never the less, the argument goes like this:
+* If there are no toilets available then one must poop in a bag on in their pants.
+* People throw dog poop in the waste bin
+* People throw diapers in the bin
+* Landfill disposal is sealed in the ground and does not decompose
+* Given investment I can dispose of human waste for drivers and homeless people who are forced to
+shit in bags, and be profitable. It’s a reality. There’s a supply. I can turn it into an opportunity, and 
+turn a profit. Or you can put me in jail.
+Mother fuckers are blessed to handle my shit. Mother uckers who handle my shit are blessed.
+Or you can take the idea and feel like you need to kill me for it (and fail if you try).
+
+[ IMAGE time spent doing potty ]
+
+In a space like a tent or carriage even a well sealed poop container starts to smell as it gets warm and
+creates internal pressure within the container. This is incentive to deal it well and keep it in a space 
+away from occupation, and to empty it frequently.
+ The smell can be very uncomfortable.
+It’s hard to imagine that this is sanitary over the long term. Demons may thrive upon eating one’s 
+own poop in trace amounts that are left on the fingers before eating. Imagine pooping and wiping, 
+touching other things, and then eating with fingers—gross. Running water is required for proper 
+sanitation, as even use of chemical sanitizers can create resistant strains that survive (eg. 0.01% 
+survive and then multiply).
+If one is able to spend time in a coffee shop or coworking space and blend in, it can be a great 
+alternative to pooping in bags behind dumpsters. The better a neighborhood one can blend in in, the 
+better. Prices may be more expensive and bus service may be more rare, and that is a feature to the 
+residents of the neighborhood (beyond some aberrations like the bay area).
+The norm at cafes and coworking spaces can be high trust. Go along with whatever the norm is, 
+which often times means leaving a laptop on a table unattended. This may be against corporate IT 
+policy, but it is what people do in high trust establishments. A balancing factor can be to use full 
+drive encryption and power off the machine to erase any access credentials which may be in 
+memory. In this lifestyle people are probably accustomed to shutting down and powering up more 
+than average—corporate workers typically sleep their laptop for months or years, while people with 
+a shortage of battery power may do it as a habit because they don’t have enough available power to 
+frivolously leave the machine running.

+### Bathing
+
+After 2-3 days a bath is mandatory. The hair and face become excessively greasy. Bathing can be 
+done partially or fully. I find it useful to think of hands, face and beard, ears and neck, shoulders and
+arms, back and chest and bellh, armpits and side, inner thigh and crotch, outer thighs, legs, feet, butt.
+In a pinch, bathing can be done with tush wipes but as soon as possible one should switch to using a 
+towel with water. Cold water and no soap is sufficient for several months, at least, as long as 
+properly maintained. In fact, I deAdditionally, soap is hard to clean up and costs; yet is good to have around for its hygeinic property. 
+Indeed, daily hand washing with soap is important. Often a bathroom will provide this, even in a 
+pandemic situation. In the case of pooping pants or similar, use of soap on the hands is suggested. 
+Face is not recommended, nor is hair on the head. Body hair should be soaped monthly or so.
+It’s good to have hands that smell good.
+Towels, Dish tub, Bio bag for laundry.
+Pouring technique.
+Order, might be given above.
+When? Near peak heat or after is best. Possible in the cold at 3amm in the dark. Good to get the 
+habit built in the light, but anything is possible.
+Takes about 45 minutes.
+In cold weather more calories are burned, so it is cheapest to do it at the warmest time
+At the warmest time it has a cooling and refresing benefit as well.
+Get all things together before beginning.
+* Wash basin like dish tub
+* Towels – rough and absorbent pairs or do-all styles.
+* Bio bag / laundry bag
+* Soap, optional
+* Comb
+* Razor, optional
+* Rubber band for hair
+* Water bottle,/`1L
+Air flow important, as it adds humidity to the air.Routine: you should be having similar thoughts in similar places. That’s why writing in proximity 
+and developing memory are important. The closer we are in proximity, the stronger the primary 
+source of information.
+Organization is important. Remembering multiple things is important.
+Run the fan for air flow. A minute each 10 or so is enough. Careful of exhaust gas buildup.
+Abundance in towels is important. More than enough is great. Planning always fails. A plan is more 
+for communicating reasonableness, if anyone needs convincing. Hence the name, the physics of 
+homelessness. Courts of law have standards of reasonableness. They shouldn’t be able to violate the 
+laws of physics.”
+Each wash area has a gradient of cleanliness, methods, and costs. Eg. 8% improvement vs 95% of 
+towels vs shower from previous day. So over time towels can maintain, but have a harder time 
+recovering from sloth or mess.
+Hair: dry towel, wet towel, soap + rinse, shower, ocean, lake
+Comb can find problem spots by feeling.
+When bathing is done incrementally, it is never too bad. A time slot can be allocated each day to 
+wash face and 1 or two other areas. Each day the highest priority dirty area is washed. Long hair and
+beards will require more time and water and towels.
+A good way to preserve freshness all day is to use tush wipes after every poop without delay. Early 
+in authoring this work the idea of having an extra tush wipe on hand was a hard pill to swallow, 
+since $6 can be a day worth of food. It doesn’t make sense to have months of tush wipes when one 
+can’t afford to eat for a week.
+
+#### Daily & Hygeine
+These are basics and what is rinsed daily before interacting with anyone. Islam views intent as 
+mattering more than thoroughness of cleaning. The spiritual aspect of this lines up, as action > words 
+> thoughts. Indeed we shed a good amount of toxins out through sweat.
+Pooping in a bag without running water is delicate. Think about every touch as transferring energy. 
+Poop in bag, use wet wipe, use portable sink to wash hands with soap, bleach wipe portable sink.
+One needs to mentally check out to consider masking hygeine, but that isn’t who this book is for 
+(touch mouth to adjust mask, touch straps to remove, touch things in public, touch straps to put back 
+on, touch mouth to adujust, … repeat).

+If you have a carriage then you want to preseve the value of the seats. Bathrooms are fitted with 
+materials that will withstand the life of the house. In our case, we wash our sleeping bag weekly so 
+that will be a good mat. It will dry by bed time, the more careful you are. Towels can be used during 
+the accimation period.A wash basin for dishes that is about 24x18x5 inches should be good. About 10 absorbent semi-soft 
+towels can be used once each and washed on a weekly basis, stored in a large biobag that is 
+discarded each week.
+Cars provide electricity.
+
+#### Public Restrooms
+
+Certain coffee shops are hot spots for homeless people bathing for various reasons: proximity to 
+transit, early morning or late night access, prices. This is a cost that is paid by baristas, who for 
+monied people are often a routine source of positive social interactions for the day. When the barista 
+is tired of cleaning up after homeless people, then they will be tired of homeless people in general 
+even if they fake a smile.

+#### Waste
+
+Each day waste should be emptied. From living in a home we may be accustomed to weekly trash 
+service, and we may perhaps dump our office trash into a bin when it gets full after weeks or months
+or a day if we dispose of food in it. We want to avoid carrying extra trash with us, as it is bad vibes
+—takes space, is cluttered, is a task that needs to be done, smells, …. Doing it daily is very good. A 
+coffee cup or take-out bag can be used, as its disposal will be part of the days’ needs anyway.
+Possible optimization for pissing: put bio bag into bottle. Cap may rip it. Will also be very gross to 
+dispose of. For use on private land or similar would be a good trial, but in public does not seem 
+plausible.
+
+Every problem can be solved with money. If you can afford to double wrap your poops, for 
+example, then you can camp in a space for multiple days instead of having to leave right away. As 
+long as the bag is totally sealed the spiritual implications can be minimized (true? Not totally sealed,
+in truth).

+#### Writing
+
+Writing has been an essential part of civic life since the time of scribes, . From signatures on 
+contracts, to book keeping, to communication, to poetry and informational material: the pen is 
+mightier than the sword. As we transition from the industrial age into the informatio 
+n age, the ride is sure to be bumpy as old paradigms as crushed and old verticals transform to 
+accommodate a wider vicabulary and wider and deeper spiriual literacy of an elevating population.
+Writing can be done on paper or with IT. There are various sizes and purposed paper, and care must 
+be taken to properly manage them including storage and disposal, possibly with the option to scan 
+into IT, and the need for inventory. “Where is that paper?” “What is this pile?” “How can I make 
+space?” Concepts from computer science can be applied here.
+Writing requires a space that has been acclimated to, meaning that it can’t really be expected in the 
+first 21 days of homelessness or until the succession of needs and habits have been met consistently 
+enough to establish the habit in a sustainable capacity. For example, writing for 1 hour per day in a 
+space that’s known to be safe and available is doable, but doing so at a random park with chaotic 
+surroundings is not. It may be possible to catch inspiration there, and that kind of serendipity 
+requires fast access—this document for example took 5 minutes to open up in a totally controlled 
+and peaceful setting with secure power, clean laundry, empty bowels, etc.
+Remember how you needed to “get into the groove” to write in University? Well beyond the easily 
+attacked emotiional state—yes, it was possible to write while having moods if enough of the rest of 
+the needs were met sufficiently. I went through that myself to be an engineer, and have devised a 
+taxonomy to quantify these needs and the capabilities that are available when a given set are met.
+
+[ IMAGE Maslow’s Triangle – myself toward the end of High School]
+
+We’ve covered the bottom layer. Next we’ll go deeper.
+Some writing is best done in private. In some cases a privacy screen is not enough. 
+Editing as distinct from writing requires more resources such as a larger screen, implying that more 
+electricity is needed. Depending on the location electricity can be ample for scarce, and there may 
+be gates to pass through for its use such as entering a cafe and abiding by the rules of Rome or 
+tapping into a street light in an area with weak police protection or lack of enforcement such as blue 
+collar neighborhoods in SF.
+Editing within a paragraph, editing the paragraphs within a section, and organizing a book into 
+sections are each levels of editing. Adding in supporting evidence and references is another layer 
+that requires previewing material as a reader would experience it. Editing within a paragraph may be
+possible in a low power environment but not the higher orders of editing. Exchanging emails with 
+inline quotations may seem simple to most but requires screen real-estate enough to edit at the 
+paragraph levels.
+Letter of Intent should be a single page and answer key questions about presence in a given location,
+which could be Home or a foreign place for indefinite or bounded time. This letter of intent from myvisit to Minneapolis is an example, perhaps not the best but it is the first one that I wrote and 
+includes a brief explanation of what a LoI is and why it would be used. Homeless in particular are 
+vulnerable to malicious parties painting false narratives about their behaviour.
+Journaling may be a wellness activity based on writing without editing, although keeping a proper 
+system of record is a topic all on its own (security, transportation, etc.).

+#### Work
+
+All must labor for 6 days per week and rest on the 7th according to God. What we do for work varies, 
+and indeed even a Tax Collector can be blessed. We are on the earth but not of it, and so we must in 
+some small way pay our taxes to the god of the world without worshiping him. The most remote 
+property has property tax, thus all must do something to generate currency. The stereotype of people working their lives to retirement and then dying is true: there is no concept of retirement within The 
+Bible. Indeed, the nature of work can change as one ages but we must always be serving others. A 
+priest who lives based on donations can easily justify using a portion and the need for donations in 
+general based on the need for property tax. As much of a Shepherd as one may be, having more 
+possessions that one can carry is required even for a teacher of God’s word and thus at least a storage 
+unit or small property with tax is required… and if not, still travel itself costs money as does food in 
+our world built by Farmers. Isn’t retirement justified if one saves enough funds to survive the 
+remainder of their life? Think about the storehouse: perhaps a year or 3 of provisions may be 
+reasonable saved and protected by God, but excess is subject to destruction or theft (indeed, 666 = 
+excess). So in conclusion, everyone must work in some capacity, and thus everything required to 
+work can be justified and is protected by God for the righteous. What about movies where the good 
+guy dies, such as Antitrust where the open source guy is spied on and killed with his work stolen and 
+given workers of the competing corporation? A) we don’t know what he did off screen that would 
+have allowed that, and B) The corporation despite any evil was in a better position to proliferate that 
+work in a way that would work out for the good of humans. Ultimately Lucifer is a creation of God 
+and will be destroyed, but given free will and karma the play must play out.

+God, more so than hoarding and fearing for the protection of resources. We find in this work that

+that can not yield crops then a certain amount must be stored to consume during the winter months.

+of as unhoused because they have enough resources to stay out of sight, and a growth mindset that 
+helps them blend in. They may be regulars at establishments and hold regular jobs that they fit in at.

+#### Communication
+
+See also, IT. 
+Having a phone makes people assume that you are available like a normal person with a phone. 
+Voice mail, texting, lack of voice calls. As a homeless person a different set of options work. A job 
+lead may text you and expect a response without knowing your situation or being able to properly 
+imagine it. When they don’t hear back until the next day or several days later they may have a false 
+impression of hesitation or similar. Sometimes relationships just need to be severed because the 
+damage is irreparable, despite being imaginary. It depends as much on the ther party as on the 
+homeless person. But the more ways a homeless person can make it known or get around the issue, 
+the better the expected result.Dedicated abusers can make answering the phone costly in terms of energy. It’s never the goal to 
+avoid callers, but callers are often unacceptably aggressive and demanding and hanging up on them 
+can be used against the vulnerable person by appearing as aggressive or belligerent, making 
+answering the phone a risk. It’s wise to only answer calls from known callers. A person being able to
+answer the phone is an indicator of status and resources, similar to a mailing address. Shady people 
+don’t answer their phone, but is a person who doesn’t answer their phone shady? People may 
+assume that the answer is yes and go a different direction. Lack of status invites lack of 
+charitableness in some, but there is always hope to find grace.
+Relationships can be damaged by breaking the social contract around mobile usage. Having an IG 
+account and not checking DMs can be perceived as missing opportunities or ignoring contact 
+attempts, which later Tweets about “having no friends” can add insult to injury to.The Halo Effect 
+comes into play with subsequent infractions, and eventually friends can start to reinterpret a past of 
+assertiveness, productivity, and inspiration exchanges as their having been sucked dry or similar. If 
+there is a mob effect then it’s almost certain to happen, and once an investment is made in the new 
+image of you then mechanisms come into play to maintain that consistent image in the mind of the 
+individual for the sake of group membership and perhaps even comradarie during winter months if 
+it’s that type of climent (eg. Minneapolis). Lifelong friends can interpret a request for 
+accommodation and help relocating as trying to scam them out of money upon blunders, such as 
+failing to pay a phone bill and missing a text with a job lead. Fathers can come to view money 
+lending similarly, and use their power or authority to paint an image as an adult child who does not 
+have work ethic or understand how money works. They will ignore a mountain of evidence to the 
+contrary which they used to praise as having been ill-gotten, perhaps “on their back,” in an attempt 
+to gain acceptance and unearned credit within their social group of parents with similar problems 
+with so-called lazy children. Delusion can be exceptionally strong in order to maintain social 
+cohesion and spread like a virus: families are not immune from gossip and career destroying slander.
+This relates to the homeless portion of the audience more so than the urban camping professional, 
+but the damage can start small—picture going on vacation at work without leaving an OOO message
+on, and after some weeks people will learn to get their needs met and have a negative image as 
+always having shirked work if it’s even incidentally happened in the past. Trends have a way of 
+filling the gap between two disparate incidents, eg. if an email was missed 2 years ago and then 
+again with perfect service in between the two years of service will be perceptually lost. It’s as 
+though strikes know no time.Phones were once resources that we freely shared and we rightly thought of the number as transient, 
+perhaps on a shorter time frame. Homes had phones, pay phones could receive calls, and if movies 
+are to be believed then people lent strangers their phone to make calls from freely. Now we have 
+identity services built on top of phone numbers that are linked to our accounts such as payments and
+chat. Which is the proper view? Perhaps neither, as there are other ways of addressing that do not 
+require a central registry such as content hashing to the tune of Tor public keys being used as a 
+routing address to reach a service that is online with the private key held only by the service holder 
+and transferrable.

+#### Editing

+Editing, distinct from writing, requires mental space to stitch many lines of reasoning and thought 
+together, compare them, organize them, etc.
+In software engineering everyone knew the term “in the zone” and sometimes managers would even 
+enforce the space needed by putting employees “in the box”; is it reasonable to assume that a 
+homeless person needs this same amenity? I would say yes, but most people view the homeless as 
+less than human. There is more discussion on Offers later.
+Is there is productivity metric for screen real estate? Resolution, DPI, Area. # of screens. OSHA. I 
+think there’s a minimum required for some functions like editing. Processing may have similar formula for number of cores and clock speed, as well as memory and bus speed. We could provide 
+concrete examples: 13” MacBook, iPhone SE, big new iPhone, iPad, RasPi 7” RasPi 24”.
+Editing needs feedback. Writing may be improved by feedback, but the main point of editing is 
+making it presentable for other audiences.
+Imagine the movie “Almost famous.” I made an audio recording on 3/23. The scraps of paper that 
+the protagonist edits together are his writing. Medium was limited in that time, 80’s at latest, to 
+paper and a few radio and tv and movie and play like things.
+Content for this section can be pulled ffrom writing and Email, so that the capabilities can be 
+specifically delineated. An email can be printed and a response written and edited beffore typing and
+sending. If a person has always had a comfortable editing or emailing enviornment then the 
+activities may not be distinct. But in the absense of enough power to run a compting environment, a 
+different approach must be taken. Where can email be printed? For example. Tasks explode in time 
+required, and a new method is simultaneously being learned. If a person were accustomed to it 
+before homelessness, then it wouldn’t be an exponential issue as it is for a first timer at both 
+homelessness and offline email management. On old buddy used to come to my code night and send
+emails, and he had a laptop but no Internet at home. Editing may require some types of security, at 
+very least from attack and theft and the ability to carry work between days and see it though.
+Is WYSIWYG required for editing? Can one stitch together a huge array of notes and data by 
+converting them to common formats and configuring scripts? Picture the scene in Almost Famous 
+where he’s writing the article from his notes described as incomprehensible. Could he have turned 
+those notes into the final article? Writers may struggle to refrain from editing while they write—the 
+important part of the first draft is to ship a complete set of ideas, and may be totally rewritten in the 
+final copy. Knowing this, does it seem plausible to stich together the scraps or writing? I would say 
+no. Is a WYSIWYG required? The astute may quip back that things were edited before IT, on paper 
+or rock; indeed. A typewriter leaves its mark and shifts the view. A pin board accepts scraps being 
+pinned to it, and the change is what you get. So yes, in order to edit one must be able to immediately
+see the final product. To assemble it from scraps, on could argue, one could view the final product in
+a preview screen. Indeed. Would this lost the UX benefit of for example InkScape where objects can
+be selected and edited in place? For the most part, yes, without advanced tools to integrate with the 
+rendered document. I would argue that the power consumption would be the hinging factor; the edit-compile-preview loop intuitively sounds more expensive than the WYSIWYG approach. The 
+argument for paper could include lighting costs, if the work will require hours beyond daylight and 
+thus artifical lighting? Screen size is a factor too, like for writing; the preview should fit at a 
+reasonable zoom level in full on the screen.

+[ IMAGE wysiwyg editor ]
+
+One can see page breaks and rivers in white space with WYSIWYG editing, which are an element 
+that the reader notices.
+WYSIWYG is like training wheels. If you know what the document that you are writing to looks 
+like, then you can imagine the scripts and pieces that would be composed to create it and make those
+pieces. Without having a visual idea of the end product, it can become intractable to work with 
+scripts. Intractable in the sense that if the mental image changes, then many scripts and sources need
+to change instead of one document that can be incrementally transformed using the known 
+operations of the wysiwyg editor. 
+So one could make the argument that the scripted solution can produce and document and is thus an 
+equivalent, in fact wysiwyg is an implementation of an imagination system that would be translated 
+into sources and scripts. One could thinkg of writing, editing, production, deployment… editing would be done using the wysiwyg tool, and then its pieces would be mapped into a production 
+system like _____ that is sourced in markdown fed through a binary through a shell script.
+Wysiwyg is an imagination aid in addition to an editing or writing tool. Writing and editing can be

+with “one shot” at getting out ASAP is great training. Indeed there are countless distractions, if one’s

+##### Energy usage of WYSIWYG vs. REPL system
+
+[ IMAGE power usage graph ]
+
+REPL systems may have a lower marginal energy usage since the sources and scripts can be 
+independently edited on less capable viewing hardware. But there are periods of scripting and needing 
+to find documentation that inturrupt flow state—as is the case when learning to use any new tool, 
+nothing in particular about REPL tools causes this. WYSIWYG has a learning curve as well, as does in 
+coding an IDE or illustration software as well as the postscript file format that works on printers.
+If you want your documents to have character, as well, it’s nice to be able to quickly draw illustrations 
+that fit the final style of the document. Indeed, a REPL loop can offer this but as the changes increase 
+and the number of types of sources increase, whos products need to be linked together increase, the 
+REPL loop will get more expensive. Print can abstractly include refreshing a PDF or HTML view. 
+There are reasons to avoid WYS or prefer REPL but lack of a large screen is not one. REPL does not 
+replace WYS in that respect, in its capacity as an imagination aid. If the document is of a familiar type of the system is familiar and documents can be imagined and mapped to hypothetical source then a 
+REPL system can replace WYS on systems with small screens.
+WYSIWYG is great for the exploratory period of a work, perhaps through the first draft copy. At that 
+time decisions can be made about producing the work onto the target media, and whether undertaking a
+project like REPL / build conversion with data merged are worth while. Imagine an engineer founding 
+a project in an IDE and then sub-contracting out some of the modules with fixture data and some 
+particular specificiations. The REPL or build system could be used for an analog of modules of the 
+project, which may be books and worksheets with common records utilized.

+Abide by local parking restrictions and use camp site rules.
+Depending where you park people will have different reactions. People will stare at you and if you 
+stare back at them then it’s strange. I’m not using a common device to write this, so it could be hard 
+for people to figure out what I am doing in my car.
+Heat becomes an issue later in the day. This can help some things like bathing and keeping the 
+internal temperature up. It also makes air become too hot, which can be remedied with an air 
+conditioner at the cost of adding exhaust gas and extra tear on the engine, like the coolant and oil 
+(“idle hours” is the technical term).
+Window cracks provide air flow. For a portable heater to work there needs to be X square inches of 
+cracks.
+Parking atop a hill is good for safety. It makes the psychology easier. It’s a natural barrier that deters 
+people from getting close. Naturally they can only exist on 1 or 2 sides of the car, usually the 
+passenger side and then front or rear. Walls are another feature, for example a retaining wall or a wall 
+or hedges.
+Trees can provide shade. If you’re using a screen then this can be a bonus. If you are using solar then 
+it can be a hinder if your batteries need charging.
+It may be useful to create a map or list of parking spots, as a new routine can wash the memory of the 
+old.

+to put away at night and look lazy if not done by afternoon.

+Sex
+Perhaps more controversial than the Potty situation is the Sex situation. They say that it is a basic 
+physical need on the order of Food. Does that ring true? That all depends. It may sound good for a 
+housed person in a functional life. But should homeless people be thinking about it and acting on 
+those thoughts? What do you think when you see a pregnant woman with a cardboard sign that is 
+begging for money? How would you feel if two VanLifers met up and the cradle started rocking? Do 
+we let homeless people adopt pets? If not then why should they be engaging in activity that brings a 
+little human to life? At very least they should be able to afford a motel if they’re engaging in such 
+activity. If sex is a basic human need then we need to accommodate it for all people. Like safe 
+injection sites for drugs, should we allow free access to conjugal visit areas? Indeed, are all inmates 
+entitled to conjugal visits with their wives? Is masturbation endorsed and accommodated? We’re told 
+that masturbation is healthy and “cleans the pipes”… should we expect that homeless people are 
+doing it in their tents? Van dwellers in their van? 
+My personal opinion is that no, we should not accommodate it. Yet I’m happy to mention it because 
+it’s a question that may burn in everyone’s mind, or maybe I am just a thorough pervert for 
+considering the full hierarchy of so-called basic human needs. Plenty of literature can be found on 
+semen retention, and indeed depending on the level of woo that the reader can accept they may buy 
+the idea that manifestation ability can be increased by retaining seed. When do you think the last time 
+Jesus jacked off was when he turned water into wine? The last time ___ spanked it before he parted 
+the sea? One need not subscibe to biblical understanding to ralize the benefits of semen retention—
+turn only to the simpsons [homer simpson semen retention clip]. Similar to having a child, if one can 
+not afford shelter then they should not put energy into pleasuring themselves. The result of retention 
+has an evolutionary advantage, again, whether one believes in evolution or not, one can not deny the 
+connection between increased focus and mental clarity accomplished by semen retention and 
+productivity required to improve one’s life situation.No doubt law enforcement would agree with my stance whatever their personal beliefs: homeless 
+people and van dwellers should not be wanking. The case of van dwellers who are making a good 
+living and can afford fixed shelter should include a motel budget if they want to spank the monkey.

+### Appendix: Compact Life
+
+Similar to Van Life, compact life is life on wheels. It is derived from a common route into 
+homelessness, which is dwelling in car. The next alternative is living in a tent. Beyond that is rough 
+sleeping. Next up might be Truck or Van Life, followed by RV Life and into Motels, Hotels, SROs, 
+AirBnBs, HotelTonights, …, apartments, condos, town-homes, homes,….
+Compact is a word with multiple widely used meanings. Compact Life starts with a person’s present 
+situation and builds them into the ideal person, through a few principles and a progression of habits. 
+Based around existing theories with some innovation in presentation, Compact Life is woven 
+throughout this guide as it was developed in concordance with the hardware used to author this work.
+Editing. Editing is challenging in limited power situations. CarPuter was developed as a single 
+portable platform that expands with resources available. It consumes low power and is expandible to 
+large screens when available. This eliminates data migration concerns such as bandwidth and 
+processing that can be a bottleneck to applications like iCloud storage.
+Travel. Travel requires resources such as Money and Time. It may be taken forgranted by “spoiled” 
+people with enough resources 
+Controversy. This work was not developed without controversy. Humble author had left tech and been
+living in his car for some time before the pandemic hit, but due to constraints created was forced to 
+build suitable IT to train for and apply for jobs, and other tasks described in this work. Being on the 
+Internet and once influential and popular there were many eyes and great criticism happening behind 
+the scenes, and seemingly many false stories running to fit a narrative of the author as being dishonest
+and lacking work ethic. The zeitgest of pandemic, worker shortage, and character attacks were enough
+to make author experience what can best be described as “gang stalking,” and due to the illegal nature
+of such activity it is impossible to get facts on the source of perhaps multiple gangs beyond the 
+discernment and insights from meditation of the monkly author. More will be published along this 
+vein in the future under the Physics of Homelessness or perhaps Doing Business While Homeless 
+lines of work. Businesses face adversity and that may have been one sect launching campaigns 
+against the author, who created these works in Big Tech territory after being ejected by a powerful 
+man in Big Tech.

+It feels like mental squander and to a person who is naturally productive it feels like missed 
+opportunity. When homeless and without income, people are also critical of how time is spent so it 
+can feel isolating to be unable to interact with people naturally and while in violation of the social 
+contract. During so-called worker shortages it can appear to others as though one is choosing to not 
+work. When the weather is just right and one has access to a shower and the proper clothing then 
+they can seek work; when that’s not the case, one can not present themselves well and will find it 
+harder to get work and make so-called choose to not seek it. Indeed, a homeless person has a limited
+radius of travel constrained by budget and geography and can not show up to the same places to 
+apply more than one in a short period [This should perhaps go in another section related to 
+homelessness or socializing in the homeless specific work].
+The time of day can play a major role in temperature. Long days will give more working hours, but 
+there may also be a longer gap of heat and direct sunlight in the middle of the day. This may be good
+for charging batteries from the drive alternator and running errands, but cause some confusion 
+during transition periods like spring and fall where day length can change by around a minute per 
+day. If doing professional work, it’s good to start early in the morning and wrap it up by the peak of 
+the day’s heat. The heat will linger for some time. Sitting in lingering heat can cause excess wear to 
+electronics, consumes more battery due to inefficiencies from thermal properties, etc.One need not feel like people like them for security to realize that they need to be liked in order to 
+be employed. How can they become likable when nobody likes them and they’re isolated?
