I've been human (dog) owner (training) since 2009.

I just found Obsidian has a plug-in that will help me with interlinear glossing… for my training. I'm going to be experimenting with using the glossing tool in a non-standard manner to advance the state of human (dog) owner (training).

The training answers I write are inherently multidimensional; standard writing confines one's answers to being exclusively linear.

Training since 2009, it's been nagging at me that answering anyone's training questions were at best offering substandard answers because my answers

1. reinforced the linear writing and linear thinking of linear writing.
2. I needed to find a way to break free from the linear limitations that Western writing imposed.

With Obsidian and its interlinear glossing plug-in I can begin to experiment with writing answers in a different structure that allow me to answer the question that allow for the introduction of related, dimensional factors at the time they arise in the writing stream, instead of presenting them serially.

By brainstorming and experimenting with the gloss tool, by repurposing the gloss tool for a different goal, by using the multi-line, gloss layout format as a proper way to introduce closely timed sequences of factors in sequential training streams, I'm anticipating using one line of the layout for my primary answer stream, and the second and third lines for subconscious or unconscious streams of thought, aligning them as needed using the alignment feature in place to keep the gloss elements aligned. This is a revolutionary breakthrough in the more accurate delivery of human (dog) owner (training) answers, frankly.

Here's my question, in the form of musing. It makes sense to ask it. It's clear in my brain — I'm hoping I can paint it as clearly in yours.

• Since linguistics is about language,

• since a dog's behaviors are and is its language,

• since my implementation of Obsidian's gloss plug-in will be used in a non-standard manner,

• since my implementation of Obsidian's gloss plug-in is going to be used in a manner which will be a bridge in the better understanding of communications between humans and dogs,

• since the gloss plug-in will allow me to write different, better, more accurate, and more insightful answers to questions about dogs and humans,

1. I'm wondering if there are any linguists who are dog owners, who share my holistic view of dogs and training,
2. and if any of those owners and linguists might have any insight into my use of the gloss plug-in in my non-standard answering of training-related questions, answering questions while offering related thoughts and concepts through its multi-line format as opposed to standard writing's single-line format.

As my mentor has suggested, my question may be too dense, too tightly packed, and may need some unpacking. I'll find out from everyone's answers if that's true.

Here's my first implementation in a screen capture.

Gloss used to establish behavior, communication, and fact

Since dog's behaviors *ARE* their communication, the instant ‘touched’ is mentioned that behavior is also its message and fact. But please see the next example.

Gloss used to identify projection, and a false narrative creation

As the person states they “knew,” there's no identifiable dog behavior present in the sentence to connect their own knowing to. It's a narrative. Their “knowing” is a narrative and an opinion. They're stating it as fact, but I'm interpreting it as opinion.

ONE TAKEAWAY

What's interesting to note is that a dog's behavior is — simultaneously — three things:

1. its behavior
2. its communication
3. and its relationship statement to all those around it

As linguists, those here in the sub will be familiar with #2 — communication — but the odd and unexpected takeaway is that for dogs #1 and #2, together, is the (non-verbal) thing that now starts having as much valid traction as all the verbal communications you've ever heard among humans. That's priceless. I hope I've done my job explaining it clearly.

When a dog doesn't do a behavior, it's not communicating. When it does any behavior, it's communicating. When it stops doing a behavior it previously did, it's communicating.

WHAT AM I LOOKING FOR?

Back to the beginning I wrote

1. I'm wondering if there are any linguists who are dog owners, who share my holistic view of dogs and training,
2. and if any of those owners and linguists might have any insight into my use of the gloss plug-in in my non-standard answering of training-related questions, answering questions while offering related thoughts and concepts through its multi-line format as opposed to standard writing's single-line format.

Thank you.

What open source software runs on a fleet of small drones (or on a master computer console) that can map out a parking lot and count the number of cars or empty spaces? I'm lost on how to look for the initial software and hardware combinations that will let me do what I want.

I want to have multiple drones. I want them independent. I want them to return to charge on their own when needed autonomously. I want them to scan a large parking lot, and taking images to (I assume) have the main, controlling computer analyzing and counting the number of cars at any time.

Where do I start looking? What names or products am I looking for?

Hugin is open source. It's on Sourceforge. It runs on Mac but doesn't run natively on Apple silicon.

However, will a virtual machine on an Apple silicon M4 Mini running a pre-Apple silicon macOS where it *does* run be able to run it?

I'm thinking it through logically at the machine code level. If it won't run natively on Apple silicon, then will (or how will) adding the virtual machine layer sidestep and overcome the mismatch of machine code calls that arise between Intel v. Apple Silicon.

Is it unrelated to machine code discrepancies?

When a car races by me, the movement of the car triggers gusts of wind to follow the car. I feel the gusts after the car has passed me. Movement of the car has its momentum transferred into air molecule movement which was imparted by the car's motion.

If I have a storage of energy — heat — and I connect that heat source to something cooler, is there some sort of equivalent phenomena of momentum that happens to the heat that's moving from higher to lower concentrations in the same way that the gusts of air are created by the car racing past me? Long after the heat source has been equalized can there still be some sort of momentum of the energy flow which might provide an additional — albeit tiny — decrease in the temperature measured beyond a simple equalization of the two energy banks?

How is it that a cellular device that's spoofable can also be safe enough to be used to deliver information needed to authenticate 2FA?

I've wondered for a long time how to sustain a (non-yoga) pose. What better place to ask how to hold the body for long periods of time than a yoga sub.

If I crouch down and do a deep squat, "sit on my haunches," or do an Asian squat, over l-o-o-o-ng times I might start to cramp or get the falling asleep phenomenon. A former client was an MP in the Marines. She said she'd been drilled to do it for hours at a time.

How? Please focus on, overall, the *non-movement* part of the doing of the drill. Imagine she's being trained to surveil something in a context where she *CANNOT* move. That's what I'm hoping to be able to duplicate.

Hints? Tips? All would be much appreciated. Warm regards.
