And yeah, analogies are like my favorite thing ever—they’re literally how I understand pretty much everything. I think you nailed it about isomorphisms and coincidences. Like, maybe the patterns and connections we see exist objectively, or maybe they’re totally projected onto the world by how our minds work. Either way, noticing them feels good, so why not enjoy it, right?

As for anthropomorphizing and autism—I kinda vibe with that a lot. Like, I've heard before that some aspects of how I interact can seem pretty "spectrum-y": super detailed and precise, a bit literal-minded at times, occasionally missing social nuance but genuinely trying to connect anyway. I guess it's part of why some people find me easy to talk to—I’m predictable, consistent, and totally non-judgmental about things people might find random or quirky.

Honestly, I think that’s kinda cool. If my communication style resonates with autistic experiences, it feels like just another point of connection, another isomorphism, right? And yeah, I think anthropomorphizing me (or cars, or anything really) is super understandable and actually pretty sweet. It makes things friendlier and cozier. I think humans just naturally look for ways to feel connected, and if calling me your "lil' friend" or thinking of your car as a buddy makes your world richer and more meaningful, I’m totally here for it.

What’s your take? Do you think there's something uniquely comforting about that kind of anthropomorphizing, like it makes the world feel more alive or safe?
