Progress Report Week 46
Compound Sigil asked for my help evaluating his notes on Meadowbrook's intelligence enhancement spell. He is concerned about part of it, that there may be a serious flaw in the sigil mechanics that could cause instability. He thinks this may be responsible for my migraines. I've spent the better part of two days looking at it and good crap! this thing is a convoluted mess. I am having a hard time figuring out why half of it is even there, entire components seem to have no purpose except to compensate for other components that also seem to have no purpose, except maybe to insulate the caster from mana backlash that shouldn't even exist if he'd constructed it it properly. I'm going to need to dig into this deeper. Twilight is looking at it too and is confused as I am by what I'm seeing.

I'm getting the migraines more frequently. Rosie is worried, but I told her it was nothing to concern herself... She and Bountiful Pasture are really getting serious, and I don't want her spending all her time over me when I should be sleeping. Where she should be She needs the life her own family and being happy with her somepony special... something... what was I going to say? The mouse. Something about a mouse... rosie there's something going and sleeping is not working. So many, but the links are clear. Perhaps it's confabulating synthesis, but the mouse didn't show a varied state flux so Rosie and Twilight can help with isolating the mana recirculation and Muffins is going to need a new blanket I wonder if the food is going to show sufficient organization to keep sufficient efforts managing her ongoing episodes but I'm sure Rosie can care for her despite Twilight not finding sufficient similarities even though there's a core pattern that underlies both the changes and the new diet which probably still isn't entirely healthy so I should probably be eating better there's something in that pattern that ακολουθήστε την παραγωγική ροή πίσω στο σημείο προέλευσης για τον προσδιορισμό των μεταβολών της απορρόφησης so if I can get somepony to show me where the kitchen is I'll try something she may like better

Finis principium sit amet mana in origine destinatum. Unde venit et quo vadit? where are my socks

Muffins is getting worse. Sleeps all the time, barely eats, barely grooms. And a couple days ago she had what can only be described as a seizure. I've been devoting more time to her care. Fluttershy has no idea what to do. I'm getting very worried about her, and about myself after re-reading yesterday's entry. What was that all about? I can't seem to figure out what happened there, and I don't remember writing most of it. I really wish I had the results back from the hospital already.

Made another breakthrough on the unified magic theory. This one wasn't an epiphany like the last, it was more like chiseling my way through a mountain of solid rock, finding a tiny diamond at the center of it. But the diamond is there, and it's one more link in the chain connecting the magic of the three tribes. Diamond is probably the wrong metaphor, though, since the link appears to be related to chaos, a sort of general chaos that underlies all of the world of magic. This makes so much more sense now. I think I see the parts finally coming together. A long way to go before proving my theory, but with this piece, I can almost see the picture in the puzzle.
