# abs0d arts bit set to zero by default in which abstz signifies "arts bit set to zero by default" - an 'ideally useful measurement' or social consideration while abtz commonly and simply implies "avoiding being an arts" it's actually closer in mercurial meaning to "a variable as-yet undefined human metric" also written or coded abs0d/ abstzbd / abt0 / ab20 / ab=0: a default friendly dynamic (relationship) state - one of **+** sharing: the spirit of free (gratis and libre) non-quantum participation **+** helpfulness: accessibility accommodation consideration symbiosis **+** nondoing: harmony non-contention **+** 'entropy': "all non-things considered unequal the impossibility of any reliable measurement of uncertainty in a random variable (eg. abstz)" here "non-quantum participation" means "holistic human channeling of fluid processes un-splittable into / 'arts' bits"; co-creation beyond concepts of 'worth' or 'value' while abtz is only ever an ideal or virtual state and cannot be clearly set measured gained or reliably used it might nonetheless be an 'undecidedly non-practical heuristic' to 'set arts-bit to zero' implies not-doing anything which might flip the bit to 'one'; yet any attempt to actively set the arts bit to 'zero' - or even back to zero - and it flips automatically the public abtz declaration is as follows: "sorry if i'm being an arts - despite (and/or due to) best intentions" in a final twist some add a question mark at the end as in "abtz?" note however this is not a suggestion - that might be rude - but merely to signal the already complex state of our human affairs // dr. doom: abst0 the figure most associated with 'abtz' is doctor doom whose classic failed attempted to set or reset the arts bit is legendary: "though richards tried to warn ir about a flaw in the machine seeing ir calculations were a few decimals off victor continued on with disastrous results" // republic of bob
