#master mind

the law of assumption is all about forming assumptions and beliefs that serve u so that u can live the life of ur dreams. but like, how do u form assumptions and beliefs? its super simple ✨

the basis of changing a belief is changing ur assumptions around an already existing one. when we r born and even still now, our minds are literally so malleable. no one is born with a set of beliefs, these beliefs r impressed unto us by so many different factors such as family, surroundings and environment, society etc.

Father's love

William Anderson wasn’t a good person. He knew that and had had made his peace with it. He had done horrible things.

Will was also a father. And if he said so himself, a rather devoted on at that. There was nothing he loved more than his daughter. Not his ex wife when they had still been a couple, not his work, not even science in its totality. He had loved her cute little baby smile and the was she stumbled now as an infant. He loved her relentless curiosity and the way she wanted to try everything, no matter how much it terrified him at times. 

He loved his daughter. And because he loved her he had been ready to fight for custody at the divorce, even if in the end her mother hadn't put up a fight, had even seemed happy for their daughter to stay with him for the most part. A choice that was highly questionable, considering she knew well what kind of person Will was. What he made his money with. 

Will had tried to stop doing the hands on jobs for a while. Tried sticking to inventing and creating the occasional weapon for old contacts to use against Heroes. But children were expensive and so was a mortgage for the house he had bought when he had still been together with Ada's mother. And legal science the field to pay only semi-well. And as much as he enjoyed Programming it was not something he could stick to on it's own, or it turn out pay for every necessity. So he started to get back into the business. Only on few half time jobs, if you could call it that and more as an advisor a planer someone crashing the gadgets, to most of the things one could do at home. He could hardly leave his daughter alone at home and even if he had started bringing her to kindergarten she got old enough, which was an other thing he had to pay for.

So Will didn't go clean. He couldn't and he didn't really want to. He liked the work, being able to experiment with out having to beg for funding and know the Oh so mighty hero's form their pedestal a bit. The same way he always had. But he did his best to take less risks, to stay more in the shadows than he had before. Hell, he had even forced himself to network more, to broaden his contacts beyond the few trusted allies he got. Hade gotten something like a network together. That was risky in its own way, also really exhausting at times, but it kept him in buissnes, and also gave him a way to keep active with out having to be at the front lines.

As long as it made it possible to stay close to his daughter to keep his beautiful Ada save and give her a better childhood thank he had had he was happy. Beeing gable to give her A save home. Books about the things that interested her, currently she loved stories about trains and the mechanics of them. And maybe could put some money aside for her wen she was older. 

Note:

an other text that is only fitting for the prompt if you see it broaudly.

But I really wanted to explore Ada's dad more, Or at least ada's story, And I kind of think I did a decent job at it. There is of cause more I could only allude to, don't know yet or like didn't fit the text. I'm just getting to know the Anderson Family at the moment.

Also the prompt didn't fit ada herself as well.

Hope you liked it!

Master Mind is a classic code-breaking game that was first introduced in the 1970s. It involves two players, one serving as the code maker and the other as the code breaker. The code maker’s task is to set a secret sequence of colored pegs, while the code breaker must deduce the combination through a series of guesses within a limited number of turns.

The secret code consists of a sequence of four colored pegs chosen from a set of six different colors. The code may contain repeated colors, creating a large number of possible combinations. The game unfolds with the code breaker making guesses by arranging their own set of pegs, which the code maker then evaluates.

After each guess, the code maker provides feedback using smaller pegs, typically in black and white. A black peg indicates that one of the guessed pegs is both the correct color and in the correct position, while a white peg means a peg is the correct color but in the wrong position. However, the feedback is deliberately vague, as it doesn't specify which of the guessed pegs is correct, requiring the code breaker to rely on logic and deduction to narrow down the possibilities.

The game continues over a set number of rounds, usually between ten and twelve. The code breaker either successfully deduces the secret code within the allowed attempts or fails, ending the game. The interplay of deduction, feedback, and guess refinement creates a rich layer of strategy, requiring careful analysis of every clue to home in on the solution.

Master Mind is known for its intellectual challenge and minimalistic design, and it quickly gained popularity after it was licensed and published by Invicta Plastics in 1971. Though its physical version became a household staple, the game also found its way into the digital realm, with versions on computers and mobile devices, each offering different levels of difficulty.

Variants of Master Mind exist, which modify the number of pegs in the code or the range of available colors, adjusting the game’s difficulty accordingly. The game, at its core, remains a test of logic and deduction, a game of wits between the two players.

“The secret of the master mind is found wholly in the intelligent use of imagination.”
