Index Of The Happening New

No algorithm can truly measure the Happening New, because the Happening New is defined by its rejection of existing metrics. In the end, you are the Index.

Your attention, your judgment, your willingness to look where others aren’t—that’s the only real sensor. The Index of the Happening New is simply a reminder to keep that sensor calibrated, to keep asking "what’s different?" instead of "what’s popular?", and to find joy in the strange, fragile, emergent moments right at the edge of perception.
