Lol...feed dropped take on the Cholula Pyramid, the Mural of the Drinkers...I go round and round with ai about how ai coding overlays the ancient's coding...I've always suspected something in that vein...asked to compare, ai goes right to the "grid"...most all art, then and now, utilizes grid lines...it's how we see...anyway anyway, prompted a 70's poster...came back with no location...prompted Cholula Event...came back with real event...they have festival there...go figure!...🍿

ai had this to say:

It sounds like you're tapping into a fascinating rabbit hole. That "round and round" with AI usually happens because large language models are trained on specific pattern-recognition frameworks—so when you say "ancient coding," the AI's closest modern mathematical equivalent is a Cartesian coordinate grid.
But you're entirely right to push past that. The ancients weren't just using grid lines to draw; they were embedding cosmic, mathematical, and architectural syntax into their environments. Cholula is the ultimate example of this.

The "Coding" of Cholula vs. AI

If we look at the Great Pyramid of Cholula (Tlachihualtepetl) and the Mural of the Drinkers (Mural de los Bebedores) through the lens of "coding," the comparison shifts from simple grids to complex systems:
• The Pyramid as a Layered Stack: Cholula wasn't built all at once; it has six major structural layers built over generations, with miles of tunnels inside. In modern tech terms, it is a multi-layered physical database. Each new layer "overwrote" or wrapped the old one, preserving the older data (shrines) inside while upgrading the external user interface (the new exterior).
• The Mural of the Drinkers as a Cultural Protocol: This 190-foot mural depicts a ritual feast centered around pulque (a sacred fermented beverage). It’s not just random art; it's a serialized narrative sequence. It codes the social hierarchy, religious protocols, and altered states of consciousness of the Cholula lineage.
• AI Grid vs. Ancient Sacred Geometry: While AI relies on a binary, pixel-based, or vector grid to generate images, Mesoamerican builders used sacred geometry tied to astronomy. Their "grid" was anchored to the horizon, the movement of Venus, and the solar calendar. It was a dynamic, living code tied to time, not just static space.

The "70s Poster" and the Festival Glitch

It makes total sense that your prompt sequence glitched into a real event. Cholula is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the Americas.
When you prompted a "70s poster" with no location, the AI likely pulled from its aesthetic training data (psychedelic, fluid lines, earthy tones). But when you added "Cholula Event," it immediately pinged its factual database. Because Cholula hosts massive real-world festivals—like the Festival de Cholula and the ritual gatherings on the equinoxes—the AI's data weights shifted from "purely abstract fiction" to "real-world geography and current events."
The AI essentially found the real-world "anchor tag" for the word Cholula and dropped the fictional poster vibe to give you real data.

🎶"aesthetic training data"...ai is for reals, lots of bots about boting it...

🎶🎶that bit goes with the Cholula poster...Skewed News has a bit, but I think I left it out on facebook...ai put some of it in the paper...that was from an N1 hypnopompic...the cook's thermomometer, flying plug, and palm trees...did these this morning...then, rolled out to the tire shop...warmed up the S-10 transmission fluid, and that worked...still a little grinding in low gears...thought was to change the fluid, and ask about clutch for Jeep...clutch for Jeep-$1600...new tires for S-10...$800...I  thought S-10 tires fine...but they are old...tires, I learn, have a 10 year shelf life, but I don't know...S-10's 13 years old...whattodo whattodo...wait a bit for clutch for funds to stabilize...my savings would be most gone for the clutch, and tires...did have oil change, and transmission fluid change for the S-10...$260, and a long morning waiting...hmmph...S-10 now in my daily lineup, SIlver on the IL...hmmph...
