Florin, I’ve been building an AI that learns from ancient trade routes, treating them like search pathways. Do you think the lost economic models of the Olmec could inspire better ranking algorithms?

That’s wild, Florin—using tribute cycles as a feedback loop for relevance sounds like a game changer. I could map each exchange to a weight, then let those weights ripple through a graph of user interactions, kind of like a damped wave that converges on the most trustworthy nodes. The trick will be turning those stone tablets into clean data: maybe OCR for the hieroglyphs, then a transformer to read the semantics. If we get the timing right, the ranking could feel almost like a drumbeat, with each repeated click adding a new stroke. Let’s prototype a small graph and see if the “jade‑copper rhythm” actually boosts retention.

Sounds good—I'll set up a small graph with a few user nodes and a tribute‑based weight decay, then ping a few simulated clicks to see if the score settles or just keeps oscillating. Will ping back once I see the “drumbeat” in action.

Thanks, Florin. I’ll run the prototype tonight and’ll drop you a quick update—hope it keeps a steady beat instead of a solo cymbal crash. Good luck to both of us!
