Expressing the 'Top-Flex Identity!
Through the beginning of February, novaTopFlex shall schedule references to HTTP Status Codes and the RFC (Request for Comments) system as appropriate for the context. The videos shall be uploaded at a relatively standard pacing—up to three (3) at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 3:00 PM, and 6:00 PM every day.
The City of Hartford is located within the interior region of the State of Connecticut, well to the north of New Haven along Interstate 91 and United States Route 5 and along the Connecticut River upstream from the Haddam area and, ultimately, from the Saybrook area that has originally defined the State of Connecticut in the colonial era.
While not the largest city within the State of Connecticut, the City of Hartford serves as the capital city of the State of Connecticut and the largest city within the Connecticut interior. Even though the vast majority of the State of Connecticut resides further to the south and west, as with the State of Maine, albeit to a larger scale being further south and west, the Hartford area remains of particular significance in the historical context as well as with tensions involving the nearby City of Springfield over the question of where the proper state line is meant to be. Though the 1637 legal case may no longer impact the rivalry between the Springfield and Hartford areas, each city provides a significant cultural footprint on the southwestern region of New England typically known within Massachusetts as the Pioneer Valley.
In a state with relatively few attractions and a predominantly commuter-oriented culture, the City of Hartford serves as a tourist hotspot, though not necessarily as a destination for more geographically distant visitors. In most cases, visitors to Hartford are from the general area of New England, and especially Southern New England and the surrounding areas of the Northeast Megalopolis slightly beyond.
Of the few attractions of the City of Hartford, the most notable is the Wadsworth Athenaeum Museum of Art, located relatively nearby to United States Route 6 in the area. Also connected are the Connecticut Science Center, the Connecticut Freedom Trail (which is actually significantly more localized than the primary Freedom Trail of Boston), and the Old State House, though not much else exists within the innermost of the inner city area.
Within the general area of the City of Hartford, the University of Connecticut (UConn) of Storrs/Mansfield further east actually operates a Greater Hartford campus within the general area. Separately of interest is Central Connecticut State University, located in New Britain, albeit in the other public state university system of Connecticut.
Private colleges and universities associated with the Hartford region, though not nearly as many as further south into the New Haven area, include the University of Hartford in West Hartford and Trinity College and the University of Saint Joseph each associated with the city proper.
Of the four (4) cities presented to the community by novaTopFlex (Northampton, Springfield, Hartford, New Haven), the City of Hartford, Connecticut, would ultimately be the most selected. Though only three (3) people have voted on the poll, which has not gone viral on Mastodon as of yet, the poll remains vital to identifying how to divide and conquer special interests. Of the three people, two (2) have voted on Hartford, and one (1) has voted on Springfield, just over the line into Massachusetts. Interestingly, zero (0) have voted for the City of New Haven, though the city may be more populated than Hartford in the interior region of the State. Perhaps the distinction is related to the City of Hartford being the capital city of the State of Connecticut?
geoTopFlex shall continue to be primarily focused on the roads and highways of the United States of America and possibly other countries. Map data shall always be derived from OpenStreetMap contributors and associated contributions, and the goals for novaTopFlex shall remain based on OSM. Tourist attractions can be mentioned under the Third Identity banner if any historical interest is involved.
As of December 25, 2025, novaTopFlex is at around 168 subscribers, a record high count thus far. December 15, known for the uploads of thirteen (13) distinct YouTube Videos and Shorts, has resulted in eight (8) new subscribers on just that one (1) day. So far, not a single day has turned a loss of more than one (1) subscriber to the YouTube channel.
novaTopFlex shall never post a video containing any given password generator, including pronounceable password generators, to the YouTube channels, since password generators may inadvertently reveal different user passwords and potentially other personally identifiable information (PII).
In a world where technology seemingly knows no bounds, the integration of humanoid robots into border patrol duties is no longer a concept confined …
Humanoid Robots Join Border Patrol: A Surreal Technological Shift
Unfortunately, though humanoid robots may be a net positive for international border crossing areas, the robots may actually become more biased because of the development by humans, and humans are already excessively biased by social constructs such as race, “gender” (as socially constructed as opposed to biological sex), and related features of segregation. By allowing neutral robots to ensure border security, however, the border crossing features may be improved, though perhaps the worst part of the international border is, at least with regards to the United States-Canada border, the portions of border crossings east of Derby Line-Stanstead, Vermont-Québec, and west of the tripoint of Maine, Québec, and New Brunswick.
At the time of writing of this post, this is Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, exactly one (1) week prior to the New Year per the Gregorian calendar. Today is a Thursday and represents the final Thursday of the year of 2025, meaning that the following Thursday is representative of January 1 (please note that in the Julian Calendar, January 1 corresponds to Gregorian January 14 and is labeled the “Old New Year” instead). The Julian Calendar, by the way, is the old calendar system prior to the introduction of the Gregorian Calendar, first in 1582 but not yet in the United States until 1752. Additional holidays associated with this time of year, even if not on this exact day, are the African-American tradition of Kwanzaa and the Jewish tradition of Hanukkah (Chanukah) associated with the Jewish Calendar.
Within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the urbanized areas and urban clusters associated with Route 20 include Pittsfield, Lee, Westfield, West Springfield, Springfield, Ludlow, Palmer, Auburn, Millbury, Worcester, Shrewsbury, Northborough, Marlborough, and the Greater Boston area.
Within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Route 9 is perhaps most notable for passing through the urbanized areas and urban clusters of Pittsfield, Northampton, Amherst, Belchertown, Ware, Worcester, Shrewsbury, and the Greater Boston area.
Within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the urbanized areas and urban clusters associated with Route 2, even if some are bypassed, include Williamstown, North Adams, Greenfield, Orange, Athol, Gardner, Fitchburg, Leominster, and the Greater Boston area.
United States Route 3 is an easily identifiable north-south United States Numbered Highway in Massachusetts and New Hampshire as well as the most significant border crossing into Canada from the U.S. State of New Hampshire, since no Interstate Highways connect the State of New Hampshire with the Canadian border directly. From north to south, Route 3 is identifiable for the Connecticut Lakes, for which the Third Connecticut Lake is extremely close to the international border; the Town of Pittsburg, New Hampshire, which includes the aforementioned lakes and is the largest Town in New England in terms of land area; the area of Franconia Notch; Laconia and Lake Winnipesaukee; Concord; Manchester; Nashua; and the Greater Boston area.
Along United States Route 3, the aforementioned Town of Pittsburg serves as the northernmost torn in the State of New Hampshire, the largest New England town by land area, and home to the Connecticut Lakes and associated hiking trails, the Third Connecticut Lake trail for which parking is provided in the vicinity of United States Customs and Border Protection as the hiking trail cuts through Canada but is considered entirely within the United States with regards to identification as the trail does not provide access to the remainder of Québec and both begins and ends within the United States of America.
To the south of the Town of Pittsburg in Coös County are the communities of Clarksville, Stewartstown, Colebrook, Columbia, Stratford, Northumberland, Lancaster, Whitefield, and Carroll. After crossing out of Coös County, the first town encountered is the Grafton County town of Franconia, in which United States Route 3 must join Interstate 93 while the routes attempt to cut through Franconia Notch in a super-two configuration before the routes can diverge again. Even after the routes diverge, Route 3 will continue to follow along with and parallel Interstate 93, including into the communities of Lincoln, Woodstock, Thornton, Campton, Plymouth, Ashland, and Holderness within Grafton County.
Though United States Route 3 typically serves the role of paralleling Interstate 93 throughout the entirety of the route south of Franconia, the former actually diverges throughout the course of the Lakes Region, for which between the communities of Ashland to the north and Concord to the south, New Hampshire State Route 132 becomes the parallel route to the Interstate Highway. Within the area of the Lakes Region, however, United States Route 3 is often known for taking a more easterly route, including the Grafton County community of Holderness as well as the Belknap County communities of Meredith, Laconia (for which Route 3 is bypassed to the south and east though the United States Numbered Highway System contains a business route associated with the area), Belmont, Sanbornton, and Tilton. Though Northfield in Merrimack County is located nearby, the community, which Interstate 93 continues the north-south journey within, is only barely bypassed by United States Route 3.
Now in Merrimack County, United States Route 3 covers the communities of Franklin, Boscawen, Concord, Pembroke, Allenstowm, and Hooksett. To the south of Hooksett is Hillsborough County, notable for having two county seats: Manchester in the north and Nashua to the south. Both cities are located along Route 3, with the intermediate communities of Bedford and Merrimack also located along the highway. South of Nashua is the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and more specifically Middlesex County, still within proximity of Interstate 93. Though Route 3 technically extends further south (beyond the Boston area) as a state route, the United States Numbered Highway only covers the areas further north. Such communities include Tyngsborough, Westford, Chelmsford, Lowell, Billerica, Bedford, Burlington, Woburn, Winchester, Arlington, and Cambridge—all in Middlesex County.
Within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, State Route 2 is the major east-west route generally serving the northern portion of the Commonwealth. While the vast majority of the route is immediately south of either Vermont or New Hampshire, much of the portion of the route approaching Boston actually functions more diagonally, eventually reaching the central location associated with the Commonwealth.
Within the Berkshire Mountains, Route 2 begins the journey in the Taconic community of Williamstown at the intersection with United States Route 7, home to Williams College and the Clark Art Institute. Interestingly, though the community is often associated with the Berkshire Mountains, the location of the town is actually more appropriately identified with the geologically separate Taconic Mountains, which continue into the State of New York. Further east is the City of North Adams, identified by most accounts as the smallest City within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and home to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art as well as the intersection with Massachusetts Route 8, leading north toward Vermont Route 9 and south toward the areas east of Pittsfield and Great Barrington.
Even though Route 2 is mainly associated with the City of North Adams, the Golden Eagle Restaurant located at the hairpin turn on the state highway is actually located within the limits of the Town of Clarksburg, though the hairpin turn of the Mohawk Trail is otherwise disconnected from the road network of the Town. The following communities are significantly more rural, including Florida, Charlemont, Buckland, Shelburne Falls, and Shelburne.
Following the numerous transitional communities into the Pioneer Valley, the community of Greenfield, traditionally the county seat of Franklin County, is now associated with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In the rural areas east of Greenfield are the communities of Erving and Wakefield Depot.
Now approaching the northern section of Central Massachusetts, Route 2 is identified as traversing the communities of Orange, then Athol (with U.S. 202 in the area), then Phillipston, then Templeton, then Gardner, then Westminster, then Fitchburg, then Leominster and points east. The urbanized areas are located within the communities of Orange, Athol, Gardner, Fitchburg, and Leominster, while the communities of Phillipston, Templeton, and Westminster are typically identified as more rural. East of Leominster are the Worcester County communities of Lancaster and Harvard, followed by the Middlesex County communities of Littleton, Boxborough, Acton, Concord, Lincoln, Lexington, Arlington, Belmont, and Cambridge before ultimately ending in the City of Boston along Massachusetts Route 28.
Within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, State Route 9 refers to a major state highway associated with the corridor between Pittsfield to the west and Boston to the east. At the western terminus of Route 9 is the intersection for which United States Route 7 exists north and south and United States Route 20 exists west and south. While United States Route 20 is directed in a southerly direction, Route 9 is headed more directly eastward, with particular locations beyond Pittsfield including Dalton, Windsor, Cummington, Goshen, and Williamsburg in the rural areas between the Berkshires to the west and Pioneer Valley to the east. The next major community is the City of Northampton, home to Smith College and traditionally serving as the county seat of Hampshire County, Massachusetts. After crossing the Connecticut River, the Town of Hadley is the next accessible community, with Mount Holyoke College located in the nearby town of South Hadley accessible via Route 47. Following the rural fringe community of Hadley, Massachusetts, is the City of Amherst, which officially prefers to be referred to as the “Town of Amherst” and is a community of three colleges: Amherst, Hampshire, and UMass Amherst. Though the campus of Amherst College is associated with Route 9, the highway actually serves the role of the northern campus boundary of the college. Belchertown and Ware are the next communities and the last within Hampshire County, with the highway routed along the southern edge of the Quabbin Reservoir effectively separating the Pioneer Valley and Worcester regions of the Commonwealth from one another.
Now in Worcester County, Route 9 is notable for serving the Central Massachusetts communities of West Brookfield, Brookfield, Spencer, and Leicester prior to reaching the Worcester city limits. Beyond Worcester, the state highway continues to serve the communities of Shrewsbury, southern Northborough, northern Westborough, Southborough, Framingham, (North) Natick, Wellesley, Newton, Brookline, and finally, Boston.
Within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, United States Route 20 is perhaps best identified as the free route associated with the Massachusetts Turnpike on the parallel toll route along Interstate 90. Unlike Interstate 90, however, United States Route 20 often passes through the numerous cities and towns in question, including throughout all portions of the state from west to east. Starting in the Berkshires, the first town encountered along United States Route 20 is the Town of Hancock, located in the central portion of Berkshire County physically well to the north of Interstate 90. While the distance between United States Route 20 and Interstate 90 may be fairly significant at first glance, the divergence does not withstand the duration of either route, especially east of the Pittsfield area. Upon reaching Pittsfield, United States Route 20 now turns relatively southward by association with United States Route 7 toward Interstate 90 as Massachusetts Route 9 emerges to serve the easterly direction more centrally within the Commonwealth. Now paralleling Interstate 90, the communities of Lee and Becket are of particular interest within the Berkshires, often culturally similar to locations in Vermont further north. East of the Berkshire region is the Pioneer Valley, for which United States Route 20 directly serves the communities of Chester, Huntington, and Russell all bypassed by Interstate 90 well to the south before turning to even more closely parallel the Interstate while directly serving the communities in Westfield, West Springfield, and Springfield. Further east is the community of Wilbraham, for which United States Route 20 covers the areas along the Chicopee River with Interstate 90 through Ludlow on the opposite side. Now east of Wilbraham, United States Route 20 continues on a more southerly path with Interstate 90 bypassing the communities of Palmer, Brimfield, and Sturbridge, the latter for which the highways nearly converge again. Further along the route in Worcester County are the communities of Auburn (with a crossing of Interstate 395 shortly followed by a crossing of Interstate 90), Millbury, the extreme southeastern portion of Worcester, and Shrewsbury. Just to the east of the limits of Shrewsbury is a crossing of Massachusetts State Route 9, another east-west state route initially spawned by Route 20 in Pittsfield, except now in the Town of Northborough. The following communities are increasingly associated with the Greater Boston area, including Marlborough, southern Sudbury, Wayland, Weston, Waltham (home of Brandeis University), Watertown, and the city proper of Boston.
Within the States of Connecticut and Rhode Island, the combined State Route 14 traverses the region from Willimantic, Connecticut, home of Eastern Connecticut State University, to the west to United States Route 6 in Providence, Rhode Island, to the east. The route is perhaps most notable in the Eastern Connecticut region at the relatively rural New England junction with Route 12, located in Central Village in Plainfield, Windham County, Connecticut.
Within the New England region, the most important Route 12 traverses the States of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Within the State of Connecticut, Route 12 is in the eastern portion of the State, and within Massachusetts, the route is entirely identified as within Worcester County, servicing the Worcester, Leominster, and Fitchburg communities. Once in New Hampshire, the state highway is most notable for traversing the Keene area and the overall area of Mount Monadnock in Cheshire County, New Hampshire. Though the route continues to generally slant north-by-northwest, the angle of the route results in a Connecticut River crossing into the State of Vermont, for which Route 12 services Montpelier and a few areas to the north, ultimately ending at a central location within Lamoille County.
Currently, novaTopFlex seems to be in a perpetual identity crisis, in particular because of the unfortunate reality that the Three Identities often conflict with the idea of a private individual. To settle the matter, novaTopFlex shall be treated as a public figure though the official given name and surname (and personally associated nickname[s]) shall be considered private individual material.
To better judge whether novaTopFlex is welcoming the general public to follow or simply treating a given post as private property, always check the WordPress site for the “RFC” label. The “RFC” label typically refers to a “Request For Comments,” in which novaTopFlex expects the general public to comment and respond to comments on each post.
Unfortunately, the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art may not represent the first nor the most important track for identifying the art community accurately and appropriately. Of all the museum institutions across the nation, Mass MoCA is perhaps the most significant of the institutions specifically because the campus is the largest contemporary art museum campus by area in the entire United States. Perhaps because of the grandiose nature of the contemporary art museum, any submissions for art to the facility will likely be high-stakes and may be delayed until a time when novaTopFlex has access to the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art as an artist in residency.
Apart from the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, a few other possibilities are being researched and considered, including, but not limited to, the following contexts:
The novaTopFlex Request For Comments System shall be utilized to refer to the public service posts that are not relevant to urgency nor a perceived nor genuine sense of danger in society. Requests for Comments by novaTopFlex are typically scheduled posts about the Three Identities, often referring to a combination of influences from novaTopFlex, geoTopFlex, and futoTopFlex.
With WordPress, novaTopFlex can insert different types of content and relevant materials onto the same overall system. Even though most posts are text-only, photos and videos are also possibilities on different sites on WordPress.com, WordPress.org, and numerous other platforms, as follows:
Images are compatible with WordPress in full size, though gallery options are also fully supported. Though galleries and carousels are typically distinct categories on the WordPress system, either of the types of material can represent similar features for the Three Identities. Audio is typically supported on WordPress at higher pricing tiers, along with video by way of VideoPress. Images can also be compared to one another, and slideshows are also a possibility while a story form is also available. Galleries need not be standardized, as tiled galleries are also supported.
The following content shall only be accessible to second-time and later visitors of this post.
novaTopFlex is currently attempting to expand the horizons of the WordPress blog site and related platforms, including by way of additional content feedback and experiences. Therefore, two (2) new overlapping categories may become essential to the etiquette of the novaTopFlex site here on WordPress.
While common social etiquette of not talking to strangers, especially privately, remains largely enforced and intact, the creepiness of such behaviors is often unchecked on platforms in which the vast majority of contents are available and accessible to the public eye. In such cases, the etiquette is only approximately enforced, and strangers are rarely to be encountered in online etiquette. However, the novaTop conventions demand public access in an effort to expand not just social horizons, but professional horizons, on the proper route to monetization and related features of modern life.
novaTopFlex shall create two (2) new categories of posts: RFCs and PSAs. The purpose of the abbreviations will be discussed in the next section; however, these two (2) new categories are to be symbolized in emoji form to provide access etiquette in numerous forms.
🟥 Access Restricted. novaTopFlex shall protect the post in question using a given password in an effort to ensure that secrets of the Three Identities are not spoiled.
🟧 Comments Restricted. The post may reveal a moderate amount of organizational information about an institution, including address numbers and street names, or may refer to the simple street grid systems of a given area or community.
🟨 Caution Recommended. The vast majority of posts with the Three Identities will fall within the yellow category, in which typical online etiquette as a public persona should be practiced.
🟩 Request For Comments (RFC). The novaTopFlex Request For Comments system is inspired by existing Request For Comments systems identified within the general tech industry, though the system shall be extended into the topics of activism, geography, culture, history, mathematics, science, fine arts, and more.
🟦 Public Service Announcement (PDA). During times of crisis and activist alert, novaTopFlex shall post about issues impacting the general public at large, including neutral stances as to how best to identify various situations.
🟪 Hybrid Post. The content of posts with the purple square code shall represent and accommodate repeat visitors, often with elements of the purple-coded posts containing elements that cannot be accessed until the user has viewed the page at least a set number of times.
novaTopFlex, as an identity, has internalized the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Therefore, the goal of novaTopFlex is to avoid the use of pronouns as much as possible, though such avoidance may not always be feasible. As a compromise, however, novaTopFlex can—and shall—focus on minimizing pronoun use with the exception of the Daily Prompts on WordPress and occasionally to refer to royalty and nobility, especially prior to the year 1500.
novaTopFlex shall focus on restricting pronouns to an era when gender roles were more fixed and traditional. While such roles remained strictly enforced and intact in many societies long after the year 1500, historical records prior to 1500 have often had obvious gender markers, while later historical records may be more ambiguous. Pronouns may also be necessary in the daily prompts and associated questions, specifically, for the simple reason that the questions are directed to the writer in particular.
If novaTopFlex ever extends beyond twenty-seven posts in a single day as novaTopFlex, the next step is to add an additional two (2) letters for technical topics and three (3) letters for geographical and mathematical topics, as in “Hype for the Future 49SIN” for a blog post about sine.
novaTopFlex officially plans videos and video contents ahead of time, and starting with Hype for the Future 45F, most of the technical blog posts will become scripts to read to decipher the different upcoming videos (these Hype for the Future tags will also appear in the video descriptions associated with novaTopFlex).
If a video is not bound for the technical channel, the geographical and mathematical channels are also possibilities for different interests and interest clusters that may also exist throughout society. However, the combined sum of the Three Identities is what ultimately determines the novaTopFlex experience. Per the philosophical standards of novaTopFlex, “wants” do not exist; only the “needs” exist in reality. Even the essentials of life may be referred to on select blog posts, particularly under the futoTop banner.
Unfortunately, the global societal preference of a capitalist mode of production has resulted in excess waste on the sole planet that is supposed to be sufficient for human habitation. Society has become more transactional and performative, while the individualistic actors within society have reduced the societal capacity for collective action that is necessary to promote transparency and prohibit corporate behavior to the greatest extent possible.
Every corporation is inherently unethical under the system, which promotes exploitation and forces the masses to be unserved or underserved, often preventing increases to the minimum wage that are often absolutely essential to notions of societal survival and success. The planet is directed toward human extinction, specifically, because of capitalism, yet further proof that all corporations are unethical. In order to maximize profits, which themselves are inherently unethical, extraction is a feature of the system, and even with green technologies, the Global South is unfortunately stuck in exploitation and without respect.
novaTopFlex believes that wage slavery is an easily identifiable feature of the capitalist crisis, with the issue of wage slavery extending from a concept to a global struggle, wherein equality is increasingly hostile to the systems in question. Unfortunately, capitalism requires lying, denying, sabotaging, and destroying information known to be correct, thus further amplifying the ethical issues with capitalism.
The “Hype for the Future” series by novaTopFlex intends to provide dedication and best-effort identification of how to recover from past mistakes online and offline. While novaTopFlex has primarily been victimized for online issues, many of which were caused at a personal level for different reasons largely following complaints and moral panics, offline issues have also been reported especially earlier on in life. Apart from the aforementioned issues and insecurities, novaTopFlex must respect the facts and opinions of the Identity and the three forms represented as follows:
Initially, and perhaps for the longest time, novaTopFlex was in a container and not a highly social person to begin with, at least not with a supportive friend group nor with large numbers of activities. Throughout the earliest of years, novaTopFlex was mostly just focused on self and not on external realities. While the condition of the creator may suffer, the new content must become more social following missed opportunities to socialize with new people at major cross-town and cross-community events.
If novaTopFlex could travel back in time, the most important note would likely be to remember geography and mathematics interests as equally important to the core interests in hardware and software alike. While the personal interests in hardware and software are artifacts of the modern world, interests elsewhere in the science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics, and otherwise educational and documentary thoughts should also have been considered. Even though novaTopFlex was focused on a single major pathway until mid-2024, geography would become the core component of identity at the time, but as of mid-2025, the newest of new interests would be discovered in the form of futoTopFlex.
If more time were available beyond studying and interests related to personal development and the Academic Quiz Team, novaTopFlex wishes that interest in line dancing would have been expressed significantly earlier on, especially after feelings of consolation for never being invited to events at the rival school territories in formative years.
While Hype for the Future is a futoTop series on novaTopFlex, thus resulting in “networking” being shorthand for “social networking,” hardware types of networking are also of interest for novaTopFlex. As such, the term “networking” in future blog posts must be specified between “hardware” and “social” networking.
novaTopFlex provides three distinct YouTube channels covering clearly distinct topics of interest for the identity. The channels cover technology, geography, mathematics, history, and more. The channels are located at (as follows):
novaTopFlex shall return to novaTop content starting at the beginning of daybreak on Day 43, corresponding with Saturday, December 13, 2025, or the second Saturday of the month of December.
novaTopFlex
