Commentary

  • The "Rules for Being Human" was something I came across when I studied Sin-Moo Hapkido, a Korean martial art. I know that the hand-out that we were given was printed out from a hapkido website, which I can't find at the moment, and it unfortunately didn't have a source cited. Just by using Google, I've found plenty of other websites citing that the true source for the "Rules" is Dr. Carrie Ann Scott, or "author unknown") so that's what I'm citing down there at the bottom. The arrangement of the words, and the style used, is of course, my own.

  • Many of the bushido techniques and philosophy will also derive from the time when I was learning Hapkido. Other parts is just stuff that I made up. =P

  • The first part of the chapter opened up with an exact count of the distance between the museum and the House of Furniture, but I haven't really figured out the exact scale of the entire place yet, so I thought it better to leave that open, so I can adjust it later to fit the story better, rather than making up some number now.

  • I was going to change the "Rules for Being Human" to something more species neutral like, "Rules of Being", "Rules of Existance", or something else, but I really liked how the "H" looked in that style, so I left it as is.

  • 07-25-2009 - I didn't start recording my revisions until after I was into Volume 2, so I'm guessing a new default starting point for all Volume 1 chapters to be at 1.50. Rewrite to version 1.60. Only three small changes. That's been a rare thing for this volume's revisions. A net change of -7 words to 1,381.
