envelope budgeting

i've always had a hard time saving up for the rainy days. i'm always stuck in the part where i have no idea where the money is going to. and believe me, i hate that part. so i scoured the net to look for ways how to solve this eff-ing problem and googled(i wonder if this verb is already an entry in the dictionary) budgeting. then i thought, why don't i just check its wikipedia entry. unfortunately, all information inside that entry were on a macro-scale of the word itself. and fortunately, except the "see also" part. there lies the phrase envelope system.

although there's just a small info about it, the description how the system works gives enough overview on how it works basically: enough to make me save.
"Typically, the person will write the name and average cost per month of a bill on the front of an envelope. Then, either once a month or when the person gets paid, he or she will put the amount for that bill in cash on the envelope. When the bill is due, the money is taken out to pay for that bill. 
This prevents the person from spending the money out of their pocket or bank account, because it is already allocated to the bill."
But why stop there? the basics will make one save. but knowing the entirety will make wonders. a little more on that matter, later.

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 13: Boundaries

  Where Things Get Interesting We've built a complete picture: Fields (F) define domains with specific rules. Scales (λ) determine context within those domains. Quanta (Q) are what appears when you observe a field at a scale. Measurability (M) constrains what can appear. The equation Q=Fλ, Q⊆M generates valid frameworks. And this stratification continues infinitely; no ground floor, no ultimate emergence, scales within scales forever. But if reality is structured this way, the most important question becomes: where do the boundaries lie? Boundaries are where one field gives way to another. Where one scale regime transitions to a different regime. Where the measurable space changes. Where frameworks that worked perfectly well suddenly break down. Boundaries are where theories fail, where paradoxes emerge, where the most interesting phenomena occur. Understanding boundaries is understanding the architecture of reality itself. This chapter shows you how to recognize them, what happens...

AI, Languages and Neuro-Kernels

“A radical rethinking of OS architecture for the age of AI: from legacy kernels to self-optimizing neuro-kernels powered by contextual intelligence.” I believe that the future will ditch Linux and Windows because AI will create it's own kernel that's ready to be fused with AI model to become neuro-kernel. Why? Because they were not created for AI. They were created several decades ago when LLM wasn’t even a phrase. They were born out of necessity, not intention — a way to make silicon respond to keyboards, screens, and human commands. Over time, they adapted: adding graphical user interfaces like Window User Interface and desktop environments of Linux, supporting mobile devices such as Android and iOS, and surviving by bolting on complexity, you get the gist. But at their core, they are still human-first operating systems, not built for real-time machine reasoning, context shifts, or model-to-model communication. Now Let's Talk Inefficiencies The inefficiencies are baked in...
