#nautilus
Ooops, forgot the last in the batch. How could we forget the biggest, baddest member of the cephalopod family?

Kolmogorov Complexity and Our Search for Meaning - Issue 63: Horizons - Nautilus
We abhor randomness and love patterns. We are biologically programmed to find some patterns that explain what they see. But we can never be certain that the pattern we’ve identified is the right one. Even if we could somehow be assured that we haven’t made a mistake, and we are exhibiting a computer-like perfection, there may always still be a deeper truth to unearth. This tension helps drive our love of literature, theater, and the cinema. When we read a novel, or watch a play, the author or director is presenting us with a sequence of events that has a common theme, pattern, or moral. Literature, plays, and the cinema offer us a delightful escape from the usual unintelligible, meaningless chaos that we find in the real world around us. Really good literature goes further, and leaves us with the possibility of many interpretations. We come face to face with the incomputability of the Kolmogorov complexity.
This tension also defines how we engage with our own lives. While we travel through the seemingly random events in our life, we are searching for patterns, and structure. Life is full of “ups and downs.” There are the joys of falling in love, giggling with your child, and feeling a sense of great accomplishment when a hard job is completed. There is also the pain of a crumbling relationship, or the agony of failing at a task after great effort, or the tragedy of the death of a loved one. We try to make sense of all this. We abhor the feeling of total randomness and the idea that we are just following chaotic, habitual laws of physics. We want to know that there is some meaning, purpose, and significance in the world around us.We want a magical story of a life, so we tell ourselves stories.
Sometimes the stories are simply false. Sometimes we lie to ourselves and those around us. And sometimes the patterns we identify are correct. But even if the story is correct, it is not necessarily the best one. We can never know if there is a deeper story that is more exact. As we age and suffer from ennui, we gain certain insights about the universe that we did not see before. We find better patterns. Maybe we get to see things more clearly. Or maybe not. We will never know. But we do know that the search is guaranteed to never end.
Deep Tech
This is the E/V Nautilus — a 64 meter long, state-of-the-art research vessel.
Carrying a team of scientists, engineers, and an able-bodied crew, the Nautilus sails the seas around North and South America on research expeditions, while providing us landlubbers with tales (and live video feed) of its travels on nautiluslive.org.
The Nautilus’ missions usually involve studying deep-sea biology, geology, and archeology. Its ROVs—Hercules (the yellow one) and Argus (the more skeletal-looking one)—enable its team to take samples and hi-res imagery of undersea organisms, phenomena, and artifacts.
The Nautilus herself is a well-equipped ship, sporting sonar and mapping technology to help locate prime spots for deep-sea exploration, and Telepresence, which allows rapid information exchange between the ship and the world wide web. It also has the usual cabins and living quarters, dining and recreational spaces, work areas, control rooms, labs, and equipment maintenance facilities one would expect of a world-class research vessel.
Oh, and it comes with a gym too. Even deep-sea researchers need to stay in shape!

Snail Man comic test!
The word firshb designates an animal from this universe. It looks like a mix between a fish and a bird and is comparable to our pigeons.
Snail Man is a slice-of-life about Edgar Neil Snailman, a snail who has to hide his carnivorous nature. However, everything gets more difficult when he became the hero of his district by saving a cuttlefish from a gang.
Here are the Anchors!
The team of big meanies in my story: Snail Man!
I don’t know their name yet-
Nautilus: (She/Her), she’s kinda the “leader figure” of the group. She reckons the work to do and usual plans it.
Great Scallop: (They/Them), the most energic of the team. They thinks fast (and get pissed fast too).
Starfish: (They/Them), the strongest of the group who doesn’t hesitate to hit. They seems grumpy all the time. However, they enjoys annoying the Scallop.
Squid: (He/Him), the most discreet of the team. He’s lacking a bit of confidence while working but he still likes the team!
This group also has a boss, but I won’t detail that.
