Conditions for a choosing a pseudonym for a Tela Network account: 1) It has to be a name under which that you could plausibly and seriously be introduced to an audience. (For example, the writer known as N S Lyons began to appear on stage recently.) 2) It should have a double-barreled surname, for fun and gravitas, but this should not be too ridiculous. 3) It should be enjoyably meaningful in some way. Example: "Sam Gödel-Conway" - It contains three references: a) Sam, from Lord of Light: "One man, brief in space, must spread his opposition across a period of many years if he is to have a chance of succeeding." b) Gödel, whose Incompleteness Theorems proved the hard limits of formal systems. c) Conway, whose Game of Life demonstrated the remarkable constructive power of formal systems. So the double surname is symbolic: It's the boundary between the two faces of formal systems: Limits and Emergence. (And of course: a blockchain is a formal system.)
