<< UPDATESYSTEM.PATCH_NOTES : DREAMLOGSYSTEM, "v2.00-rc1"
-=-=-=-
Dream Log System: v2.00, Release Candidate #1
Sector Sourcing Update

This update plans to upgrade the binary recognition system to a
system that identifies dreams as potentially belonging to a
"sector" of the user's memories. This sector classification system
may be too time-consuming to be added as the dream log is written,
and is thus meant to be manually recorded after the initial
transcription of the dream log.

* EPIDERMAL SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to Scratch.
* DIGITAL SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to the TBGs.
* CARTESIAN SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to Minecraft or its media.
* MONETARY SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to wasteof.money.
* CONDITIONAL SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to Not Always Right.
* INDELIBLE SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to Craiyon or content
  generated using it.
* EXISTENTIAL SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to IRL events.
* MELLIFLUOUS SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to GT-180.
* EMULATED SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to video games.
* COLBRINE SECTOR: Dreams pertaining to other mental processes.
* MISCELLANEOUS SECTOR: Dreams with known connections to activity
  not covered by other sectors.

Also coming with this update is an improved visualization format,
showing the logs with Unicode-integrated graphics rather than raw
JSON, to improve the user experience.

If they wanted to stop people from using Assets as an image host,
