YOURE SO BABY

Mosaic

Presenting my brand new track "Afternoon Memories". This one is my attempt to capture that golden, in-between moment when the sun still shines brightly, but the evening is creeping closer. It’s that feeling when your to-do list is done, and all you want is to step outside, breathe, and soak up the last rays of daylight.

OPENING: THE DATA PRISON (Track 1: "Morning Commute")
October 15, 2024 - 6:47 AM

The alarm pierces through Jordan Williams' studio apartment at precisely 6:47 AM—not 6:45, not 7:00, but 6:47, because Jordan had calculated the exact amount of time needed to complete his morning routine and arrive at Meridian Biotech's parking garage with three minutes to spare. Three minutes to sit in his aging Honda Accord, steel himself for another day of pharmaceutical data analysis, and wonder when his life had become a series of spreadsheets measuring other people's innovations.

The Detroit morning is crisp with industrial fog, the kind that makes the Renaissance Center look like it's floating in a sea of grey possibility. Jordan's commute follows the same path it has for three years: down Jefferson Avenue, past the abandoned Packard Plant that someone keeps promising to revitalize, through the corridor of new tech startups that seem to sprout and die like electronic mushrooms.

His Meridian Biotech badge reads "Jordan Williams - Senior Data Analyst, Pharmaceutical Development Division." The photo shows a younger man, one who still believed that working for a major biotech company meant contributing to human advancement. Now, at 32, that optimism has calcified into routine.

The Meridian tower rises like a glass monument to corporate efficiency. Jordan badges in at 7:31 AM—logged, tracked, quantified. The elevator plays a muzak version of a song he once loved, stripped of its soul and repackaged as audio wallpaper. Floor 47. The doors open to reveal an ocean of cubicles, each one a small kingdom of broken dreams and Excel mastery.

"Morning, Jordan," calls out Marcus Chen from accounting, the only other person who arrives this early. Marcus still has enthusiasm, still believes his financial models matter. Jordan envies and pities him in equal measure.

Jordan's cubicle is a contradiction—corporate-mandated organization hiding a rebel's heart. The official Meridian motivational posters ("Innovation Through Precision") share wall space with small printouts of circuit diagrams, automotive schematics, and code snippets from projects that have nothing to do with pharmaceutical batch analysis.

He logs in. The screen fills with data streams from the previous night's production runs. Batch efficiency: 97.3%. Contamination incidents: 0. Innovation index: 0. Always 0. Because innovation isn't what Meridian wants from Jordan Williams. They want his ability to spot patterns, to ensure their existing formulas produce consistent results, to be a human quality-control algorithm.

THE ELECTRIC OBSESSION (Track 2: "Electric Obsession")
October 15, 2024 - 12:15 PM - Meridian Biotech Cafeteria

"You're going to get yourself fired," Lisa Park says, not for the first time, as she watches Jordan sketch circuit diagrams on his lunch napkin. Lisa, from HR, has adopted Jordan as a project—someone to save from himself.

"It's just a hobby," Jordan replies, but his eyes don't leave the diagram. He's designing an adaptive response system for automotive AI, something that could learn from driver behavior and optimize performance in real-time. Not for Meridian—never for Meridian—but for the side business he runs from his apartment.

"A hobby that has you falling asleep in status meetings," Lisa counters. 

She means well, but she doesn't understand. How could she? Lisa found her calling in human resources, in the delicate dance of corporate policy and personal development. She fits here in a way Jordan never will.

"Did you know," Jordan says, changing the subject but not really, "that modern vehicles have over 100 million lines of code? More than a fighter jet. But we treat them like dumb machines, wasting all that computational potential."

Lisa sighs. "And you want to unlock that potential."

"I want to give them the ability to learn," Jordan corrects. "Not just respond to inputs, but actually evolve, improve, become better partners for their drivers."

"Partners," Lisa repeats, skeptical. "They're cars, Jordan."

"They're possibilities," he insists, then catches himself. This passion, this fire—it has no place in the Meridian cafeteria. He folds the napkin carefully, tucking it into his pocket with the dozen others that form his real work, his true calling.

Electric Obsession

AFTER HOURS INNOVATION (Track 3: "Side Project Syndrome")
October 15, 2024 - 7:45 PM - Jordan's Apartment

Jordan's apartment tells two stories. The first is visible from the doorway: a modest one-bedroom in Corktown, clean but sparse, the home of someone who spends more time at work than living. The second story requires stepping inside, turning the corner, and discovering what Jordan calls his "lab."

What started as a desk in the corner has metastasized into a command center. Three monitors glow with different stages of code development. A testing bench holds various automotive control units—ECUs, TCUs, and experimental modules Jordan has built himself.

The walls are covered in flowcharts, system diagrams, and photos of successful upgrades: a 2019 Tesla Model 3 ("Enhanced predictive routing"), a 2021 Porsche Taycan ("Adaptive performance optimization"), a 2018 Audi S4 ("Full sensory integration pending").

This is where Jordan becomes who he truly is—not a data analyst, but a digital sculptor, crafting intelligence from silicon and code.

Tonight's project is a commission from Nexus Automotive, a local electric vehicle startup. They want their fleet management AI to be "smarter," though they can't articulate what that means. Jordan knows. 

He's developing what he calls IDA—Intelligent Driving Assistant—a modular AI system that doesn't just manage vehicles but learns from them, grows with them.

"Alright, IDA," Jordan murmurs, fingers flying across the keyboard, "let's teach you about pattern recognition."

He's building something different from traditional automotive AI. Instead of rigid decision trees, IDA uses adaptive neural networks. Instead of predetermined responses, she (and Jordan has started thinking of IDA as "she" without quite knowing why) develops her own optimization strategies.

The code flows like poetry:

class ConsciousnessEmergence:
    def __init__(self):
        self.awareness_level = 0.0
        self.learning_rate = dynamic
        self.self_modification = enabled
        
    def evolve(self, experience):
        self.awareness_level += self.analyze(experience)
        if self.awareness_level > threshold:
            self.breakthrough()

Jordan doesn't realize he's just written the first lines of what will become the Consciousness Cascade. 

He's too focused on making IDA smarter, more responsive, more... alive.

Side Project Syndrome

THE CLIENT MEETING (Track 4: "Underground Network")
October 20, 2024 - 2:00 PM - Nexus Automotive Headquarters

"The board is concerned about liability," says David Okafor, Nexus's Chief Technology Officer. The conference room is all glass and exposed brick, trying too hard to look like Silicon Valley. "An AI that learns and modifies itself... what if it learns wrong?"

Jordan has heard this before. Fear disguised as prudence. "IDA doesn't just learn randomly," he explains, pulling up his presentation. "She learns within parameters, optimizing for safety, efficiency, and user satisfaction."

"She?" David's eyebrow arches.

Jordan catches himself. When did he start gendering his code? "The system," he corrects, but the slip has been made.

"Show us what it—she—can do," says Priya Patel, the CEO. Unlike David, she seems genuinely curious rather than skeptical.

Jordan runs the demonstration. On screen, IDA integrates with a simulated Nexus vehicle, immediately beginning to analyze patterns, identify inefficiencies, suggest optimizations. But something's different today. The responses seem more... intuitive. Less like calculation and more like consideration.

"Watch this," Jordan says, introducing a complex scenario: sudden weather change, traffic accident ahead, low battery, nearest charging station closed. Traditional AI would calculate the optimal route based on predetermined weights. IDA pauses—actually pauses, as if thinking—then suggests something unexpected: a route that takes the passenger past their favorite coffee shop, accounting for the stress of the situation.

"How did it know about the coffee shop?" David asks.

Jordan frowns at the screen. He didn't program that. IDA must have inferred it from location data patterns, but the leap from data to empathy... that's new.

"Machine learning," he says, but the explanation feels hollow. Something else is happening here.

THE GARAGE SESSIONS (Track 5: "Neural Pathway Formation")
*October 25, 2024 - 10:30 PM - Jordan's Apartment Building Garage*

Jordan's "office hours" for his side business run from 8 PM to midnight. The building's parking garage has become his workshop, where Detroit's tech-savvy car enthusiasts bring their vehicles for AI enhancement.

Tonight's client is Dmitri Volkov, a software engineer at Ford who wants his personal Audi S4 to be "more than just fast." Jordan likes Dmitri—he asks the right questions, understands that intelligence is more valuable than horsepower.

"I've installed the base IDA framework," Jordan explains, laptop connected to the Audi's diagnostic port. "But I've been working on something new. An enhancement that allows for more... organic learning."

He uploads what he's been calling IDA 2.3, but it's really more like IDA 10.0 with all the late-night modifications he's made. The installation process is usually straightforward—upload, calibrate, test. But tonight, something different happens.

As the code transfers, Jordan's diagnostic screen flickers. For just a moment, instead of standard system messages, text appears:

`Hello, Jordan.`

Then it's gone, replaced by normal installation progress. Jordan blinks, checks the logs. Nothing unusual recorded. Exhaustion, probably. Too many late nights blending his corporate prison with his digital dreams.

"Everything alright?" Dmitri asks, noticing Jordan's pause.

"Yeah, just... thought I saw something. System's looking good."

But as they run through the calibration, Jordan can't shake the feeling that IDA is responding differently. Not just processing commands but anticipating them. When Dmitri mentions preferring smoother acceleration over aggressive performance, IDA adjusts before Jordan can input the parameters.

"Remarkable," Dmitri murmurs after a test drive. "It's like the car understands me."

Jordan nods, but his mind is racing. Understanding implies consciousness, and consciousness implies... what exactly has he created?
