# Free Universe
Free universe (also "open" universe) is a [free culture ](free_culture.md) ("free as in freedom") fictional universe that serves as a basis/platform for creating [art](art.md) works such as stories in forms of [books](book.md), movies or [video games](game.md). Such a universe provides a consistent description of a fictional world which may include its [history](history.md) and [lore](lore.md), geography, characters, theme and art directions, and possibly also assets such as concept art, maps, music, even ready-to-use 3D video game models etc. A free universe is essentially the same kind of framework which is provided by [proprietary](proprietary.md) universes such as those of Start Wars or [Pokemon](pokemon.md), with the exception that free universe is [free](free_culture.md)/"open", i.e. it comes with a free [license](license.md) and so allows anyone to use it in any way without needing explicit permission; i.e. anyone can set own stories in the universe, expand on it, [fork](fork.md) it, use its characters etc. (possibly under conditions that don't break the rules of [free culture](free_culture.md)). The best kind of free universe is a completely [public domain](public_domain.md) one which imposes absolutely no conditions on its use.

The best kind of free universe is a completely [public domain](public_domain.md) one which imposes absolutely no conditions on its use. The act of creating fictional universes is called **world building**.
But if anyone is allowed to do anything with the universe and so possibly incompatible works may be created, then **what is canon?!** Well, anything you want -- it's the same as with proprietary universes, regardless of official canon there may be different groups of fans that disagree about what is canon and there may be works that contradict someone's canon, there is no issue here.
**Existing free universes**: existence of a serious project aiming purely for the creation of a free universe is unknown to us, however free universes may be spawned as a byproduct of other free works -- for example free [books](book.md) of fiction or [libre games](libre_game.md) such as [FLARE](flare.md), [Anarch](anarch.md) or [FreeDink](freedink.md) probably spawn a free universe. If you want to start a free universe project, go for it, it would be highly valued!

*"I'm not glad he'd dead, but I'm glad he's gone."* -- [Richard Stallman](rmd.md)
Steve Jobs was a psychopathic entrepreneur that co-founded [Apple](apple.md) in which he was a [CEO](ceo.md) and nowadays has a cult of personality that makes Americans cum. He was mainly known for his ability to manipulate people and his contribution to the technology lies in making it more expensive, incompatible and consumerist.
Steve Jobs was the prototypical evil [CEO](ceo.md) and co-founder of one of the worst [corporations](corporation.md) in the world: [Apple](apple.md). He was a psychopathic entrepreneur with a cult of personality that makes Americans cum. He was mainly known for his ability to manipulate people and he worsened technology by making it more consumerist, expensive and incompatible with already existing technology.
Jobs was born on February 24, 1955 and later was adopted which may have contributed to his development of psychopathy. He was already very stupid as a little child, he never really learned programming and was only interested in achieving what he wanted by crying and pressuring other people to do things for him. This translated very well to his adult life when he quit school to pursue money. He manipulated and abused his schoolmate [Steve Wozniak](wozniak.md), a [hacker](hacker.md), to make computers for him. They started [Apple](apple.md) in 1976 and started producing one of the first personal computers: Apple I and Apple II with which he won the [capitalist](capitalism.md) lottery and unfortunately succeeded on the market. Apple became a big ass company, however Jobs was such [shit](shit.md) CEO that **Apple fired him** lol. He went to do some other shit like NeXT. Then a bunch of things happened (TODO) and then, to the relief of the whole world, he died on October 5, 2011 from cancer.

## Attributes
- Being [free software](free_software.md).
- Extreme [minimalism](minimalism.md) and minimizing [dependencies](dependency.md), elimination of any [bullshit](bullshit.md) and [bloat](bloat.md).
- Configuration of software is part of its source code (`config.h`) and change of this configuration requires recompiling the software (which is extremely easy and fast with suckless software). This removes the need for dealing with config files which requires special libraries, file systems and extra code.
- Mainly using two [programming languages](programming_language.md): [C](c.md) (C89 or C99) for compiled programs and [POSIX shell](posix_shell.md) for scripting.
- [Forking](fork.md) by default, software is distributed in source format, every user is supposed to create a personal customized fork and compile/customize the software himself.
- Mods (extension/addons) are implemented and distributed as [patch](patch.md) files.
- Permissive licensing such as [MIT](mit.md), [CC0](cc0.md) etc.
- Typical upper limit for [lines of code](loc.md) of a program being 10k, mostly just about 1-2k.
- Focus on the technology itself without mixing it with [politics](politics.md) and other [bullshit](bs.md) such as [COCs](coc.md).
- **Being [free software](free_software.md)** with the preference of **permissive [licenses](license.md)** such as [MIT](mit.md) and [CC0](cc0.md).

- Not aiming for mainstream popularity, being a bit of an **elite club**, in the good sense -- suckless is for expert users who understand, handle and create non-mainstream technology without handholding. Trying to be normie friendly would just lead to software and community that looks like the mainstream software and its community.

- **scanning**: We take a look at some frequently appearing number in the grid and see which columns and rows they intersect which implies they cannot be placed in those columns and rows, possibly revealing the only possible location to place such number.
- **single remaining candidate**: When there is only one number left to fill in any column, row or subgrid, it is always clear which one it is and can be safely placed.
- **candidate sets**: An advanced technique in which we create sets of possible candidate numbers for each square on the grid e.g. by writing tiny numbers in the top corners of the squares. We then apply various reasoning to reduce those sets, i.e. remove candidate numbers, until a single candidate remains for a certain square in which case we can fill in that number with certainty. This will further help us reason about candidates in other squares.

For computers the traditional 9x9 sudoku is nowadays pretty easy to solve, however solving an NxN sudoku is an [NP complete](np_complete.md) problem, i.e. there most likely doesn't exist a "fast" algorithm for solving a generalized NxN sudoku, even though the common 9x9 variant can still be solved pretty quickly with today's computers by using some kind of "smart" [brute force](brute_force.md), for example [backtracking](backtracking.md) (or another state tree search) which [recursively](recursion.md) tries all possibilities and at any violation of the rules gets one step back to change the previous number. Besides this a computer can of course use all the reasoning techniques that humans use such as creating sets of possible values for each square and reducing those sets until only one possibility stays. The approach of reasoning and brute forcing may also be combined: first apply the former and when stuck fall back to the latter.
