TITLE: Why do 200+ researchers understand something, but 200,000 people don’t? Show HN: I turned DeepSeek's mHC paper into fivemins sci-fi story (Chen clones himself) Reason?

URL: https://ei4aibooks.com/the-distributed-self/

TEXT (optional, in the text box): I've been developing a Framework experimenting with making AI research papers memorable through storytelling. (like DeepSeek's mHC as a story about cloning/identity).

This one transform DeepSeek's "Manifold-Constrained Hyper-Connections" into a 4-minute narrative:

Year 2412. people can choose their day -12,24,48 hrs. Chen clones himself into 4 versions to maximize his day. Then his clones spawn more clones. 17 versions of Chen exist. His identity starts dissolving.

The technical lesson: Same as mHC - unconstrained hyper-connections cause system instability. Manifold constraints preserve coherence and all non-tech, policy makers and students can get the core concept and easy to remember and map the concepts

The human lesson: Too many roles fracture the self. Boundaries enable growth.

Format: Text story

This is part of a larger experiment at fivemins.in - transforming research papers into stories with emotional intelligence bridges.

Comments /Critics/ Feedback welcome and will it work if I create a curated digital 'StoryLibrary ' from deep tech papers/concepts? Thanks!
