+
+i have enough thoughts to evict from my head and arguments to reference that I can have a fun sort of meta plot.
+
+obvious question: "how much time should be devoted?"
+
+I like the idea that I'm being reformed anew every day (or, episode). Would be fun to play with in-video Me being confused by objects being out of place, or seasons being different, etc - but that does mean I'm going to have to *act* out confusion, and thus, be on camera.
+
+the Meditation meta-plot is tied to Abandon the Lotus, that's where I throw out my magic collection
+"20220530_201851 - arrive after moto take 1.mp4" - has a good **depart** in bike gear take, in the old apartment. that might have been a good one to depart, then arrive at the house, look around confused, then "find" that my magic set is gone and One With Nothing has a secret message. Problem is that the rest of the meta plot is established in the house.

+meta plot bookends:
+| filmed | used in | description |
+| ------ | ------- | -------- |
+|   ✅   | scrap lego | establish helmet spot  |
+|   ✅   | abandon the lotus | leave note on One With Nothing  |
+|   ✅   | fediverse evangelism | establish catch-all spot  |
+|   ✅   | | switch helmet, leave in catch-all spot. this one will demand bike a-roll. |
+|   ✅   | | attempt place something, collide with helmet. Investigate card by pulling it toward the camera - it says "discard your hand", so drop the card, revealing an SD card hidden behind it. make eye contact with camera (4th wall break!), walk over somewhere to investigate camera, cut to black. |
+| mostly - just up to circuit breaker | | stormy day! attempt place something, collide with helmet. Lights cut out, turn on headlamp, go over to circuit breaker box, discover a note. go investigate one with nothing, don't break 4th wall, notice SD case is empty, look over to spot where cut to black happened. discover bones. probably not the hand that was holding the card, but any other, how about a jaw bone. Grab a breifcase, leave. |
+| | | on-the-run episodes. then you can just do these until you end the channel, or forever 🤣 |
+| | | handoff! at some point, escaped adam dies, bathrobe prime adam sees the lack of SD card. takes sunglasses and briefcase, obviously. |
+| | | next incarnation episode, do whatever but be unable to find sunglasses. |
+| | | travel episode - bathrobe prime adam heading back to the house. stalks a next incarnation. Next incarnation drives off, bathrobe prime adam picks the lock and enters. |
+| | | next incarnation adam encounters the bathrobe (itself). Gunshot. (you can iterate this as much as you like) |
