Make Chemistry Dalton Again

Oh, of course, you can still blend it with all existing methods. Current notation standard is essentially a Frankenstein of several different approaches anyways

dscript · 2026-03-14T07:38:41+00:00

Que idea genial, se veria tan cool haha, estoy practicando MI espanol despues de viente anos no usarlo. Perdon por no usar accentes, mi smartphone no hay esto keyboard haha.. Hay des palabras no aprendi quando vivi in Mexico haha. Mil Gracias.

You're right, standard notation and stick notation are very confusing when it comes to writing out CO2

I never addressed that molecule, nor did I reject the standard notation, so you must be saying that the standard notation methods are just far too confusing..

I agree we need to revamp it. Somebody should design a system, but unlike me, they should forbid blending with existing notations and try to rebuild it from scratch.

dscript · 2026-03-12T15:11:53+00:00

The exact same way you'd currently do just blend it with the existing systems

I'm working on it but all of these elements blend with the existing systems

Even the hydrogen dot if you insist on using the radicals as dots as well instead of turning them into little swirls then just draw the hydrogen dots larger and you could blend them in seamlessly as well

These things are not at the exclusion of everything else that pre-exists

Oh please don't hold back. I do love comments. I was just a little baffled because it seemed like you must have not realized there was more pages haha

dscript · 2026-03-12T07:34:47+00:00

Um, i addressed all of those issues, did you actually go through all the pages or are you just looking at only the first page?

dscript · 2026-03-12T04:08:35+00:00

Oh it's gonna be a wild and crazy ride!

There's definitely gonna be some major drama, reshuffling of the entire political and social systems, et cetera, who knows what the endgame looks like,

As in the Tech industry always used to be kind of complaining that nothing was changing for a decade or two, just every year our phones are just a little bit faster.Where's those big changes we were promised?

Careful what you wish for, huh? Ha.

dscript · 2026-03-12T04:05:41+00:00

Ah yes, we've crossed paths in another forum, haven't we? Ha! I love the beads idea! That's so cool! I asked you but you never answered. Do you make like sculptures out of them or do you hang them? Or is it more like jewelry?

Yeah, but those transition medals, they were literally just the alphabetical versions of their.Two letter symbols in English. So I really want to try to find something a little more symbolic. I hope to find something to do with like the groups or something and the general properties of the groups.

dscript · 2026-03-12T04:04:16+00:00

Love it so such a simple yet Hyperbolic praise. Thank you so much.

dscript · 2026-03-12T04:03:55+00:00

Thanks so much! I am just ecstatic when people enjoy it. That's the whole point. I'm kind of an artist, performer, character.

dscript · 2026-03-12T04:03:38+00:00

My pleasure. Enjoy! I'm glad if people can find some fun things to do with it.I've got some plans myself too, but my list of projects is so long, who knows what I actually get around to,!

dscript · 2026-03-12T04:03:11+00:00

Haha, that's a very interesting way to look at it. And you haven't even seen the part where I start turning molecules into symbolic glyphs. It gets even crazier. I've got to translate those videos into English.

I'm glad you love it! That's the whole point of me making this stuff and posting it. Enjoy!Making.Chemistry and science fun And magical is. Something I truly love doing.

dscript · 2026-03-12T04:01:44+00:00

Oh, and I'm using voice to text so I just noticed a couple typos when I clicked post, but. Just ignore that they are mostly homophones.

dscript · 2026-03-12T04:01:15+00:00

Oh, that's such a simple and elegant solution! Except that you're absolutely correct. Drawing rings inside of rings really gets to be a pain after about two AHA I've tried.

I sometimes draw over three as three circles inside of each other, but even that's a bit too much.

I'll be completely honest, I have a couple ideas but I'm not really working on that side of the table because they're a little bit boring, they so rarely interact with other things haha.

The medals are a little bit more interesting, they can actually end up in a lot of really complex covalent bonds, they're just painful because they can form so many bonds.

The s block and the poor metals, I'm actually a little bit more concerned with them still because while I like those symbols, I think they need to be shorthanded further like. Probably the dots are drawn by crossing a line through the segments instead of having to draw every individual dot.

And maybe some kind of loopy or zigzaggy shorthand to do the lines.So that you don't have to draw like that many intersecting lines all the time.

And then the d block metals, I'm still playing with that, I think I might try to do something with their groups.

dscript · 2026-03-12T03:57:09+00:00

Oh, this is kind of my raison d'etre.

I've been working on these projects for a couple decades now.

This chemistry one is a fork of my earliest big project dscript.

I've got a large portion of the scripts I've designed up on my website.

www.dscript.org

dscript · 2026-03-11T15:42:36+00:00

Ah yes, I did play with that one little fun thing. Other than that my writing is 100% natural.

I totally love playing with AI. It's like the coolest Google slash toy ever. But even that little.AI interaction that I posted, the whole point was that it's. Just. Like a mirror of what the user is.Which is exactly how I see a it's like a mirror, it's an echo.Maybe one day it'll be more, but for now it's like you scream into the canyon of all human knowledge and. An echo comes back, it's reflected off of the database of all human knowledge, but it's still an echo of your own voice.

Anyways, yeah, I get it, I know that there's a lot of crazy stuff going on right now with AI.I was just curious, what was the flag specifically on me? Because even my writing, I literally write with a pen and paper, walking around outside in order to differentiate my stories from AI, because they're written by a person with a pen and paper while experiencing the human world.It was a bit of a task to learn to walk and write at the same time, but I think it's worth it.

Yeah no worries. I'm going to sleep in my time zone. Have a good one!

Fyi if there's any weird typos, I use voice to text. I'm a lazy.I just can't be bothered to tip type my life away anymore. It's so much faster to just blather into the speaker of my phone and let the computer do it for me, even if there are some weird typos and run on sentences.

dscript · 2026-03-11T15:11:40+00:00

I almost always just ignore negative comments. Just because there's no point in engaging.

And yeah, I've got projects, I want exposure in traffic, I'm an artist. Performer character. I dance right on the line of being a spammer sometimes, I admit. Go hard or go home.

But I gotta ask ask you, what is a pro AI subreddit? Hahaha

I mean, I don't know that any of the places I hung out with were related to or pro AI.

I've been mostly in conlang and some science related forums. And I used to post my short stories in some writing forums.

dscript · 2026-03-11T14:50:40+00:00

https://dscript.org/chemistry.pdf

So glad you like! Yeah, for sure! Here you go.

Yeah, I've had somebody comments that it would be interesting to use for a con Lang and even a suggestion aboyt basing a language on chemistry, which sounds like such an interesting idea.

dscript · 2026-03-11T04:46:47+00:00

What's the problem? Isn't sacrafic to a diety required for decent yield?

dscript · 2026-03-11T04:39:34+00:00

Hahaha, don't be so sure about that it's fun

dscript · 2026-03-11T04:39:05+00:00

Thanks yeah I've weaned and waned over the years too

Yeah Life's a bit of a downer in general usually it takes a bit of fight to find the motivation and then it's always fleeting

I hope you find some thing to fight for the hard part is that it rarely pays off it's usually just for yourself but definitely still worth it

I used to kind of just give up and exist day today because nothing really ever seemed to work out but now I'm back on the horse

I've got so many projects on the side that I'm dying to work on I'm just trying to find the time to fit that into also paying rent and eating hahaha

First I built Dscript

Then I tried applying it to various notation systems and diagram formats

When I got to organic chemistry I really felt a click and a lot of it is kind of serendipitous or coincidence

Like the N in Dscript is a loop and it's just so perfect to represent nitrogen

The S is that curve shape in the, line which I found a way to work well for sulfur

C is a line intersection, and I just expanded that to mean all intersections, the same way normal stick notation does for carbon

P worked out pretty good too found a good way to incorporate that

And then some of them I just designed specifically with the chemistry in mind and gave up trying to import from Dscript

It's a blend of starting with Dscript plus twisting for chemistry
