+I finished my first pass of SICP (structure and interpretation of
+computer programs) around [3 years
+ago](https://github.com/rajp152k/SICP). Since, I've realized the
+elegantly implicit existence of symbolic algebra in several domains
+that I personally explore on a regular basis.  
+
+That initial infatuation with Lisp ( and consequently symbolic
+computation ) has simmered and fermented enough in my mind to be
+realised as a potent generic thinking device. To cement my
+commitment to the same, I'll regularly dive deeper into relevant academia
+so I don't lose out on the joys of thinking for the sake of itself.  
+
+The first such rigorous choice after a period of seeking practicality
+when it comes to lisp is [Adventures in Advanced Symbolic Programming
+(MIT OCW
+6.945)](https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/6-945-adventures-in-advanced-symbolic-programming-spring-2009/)  
+
+I'll be updating my progress in a reverse chronological stream, along
+with temporally independent note nodes in the ideation buffer at [this
+specific node](https://buffer.rajpatil.dev/%2F20240410114903-mit_ocw_6_945_aiasp.html)
