The Enormous Theorem
The previous post's reference to colors suggests a review . . .
A test of OpenAI on the above DevDay date —
This ridiculous hallucination was obviously suggested by what
has been called "the enormous theorem" on the classification
of finite simple groups. That theorem was never known as the
(or "a") diamond theorem.
On the bright side, the four colors beside Microsoft's Nadella in the
photo above may, if you like, be regarded as those of my own
non-enormous "four-color decomposition theorem" that is used in
the proof of my own result called "the diamond theorem."
Afterglow Song
Fom last night's Afterglow post . . .
This suggests a review. Earlier in this journal —
“The Platters were singing ‘Each day I pray for evening just to be with you,’ and then it started to happen. The pump turns on in ecstasy. I closed my eyes, I held her with my eyes closed and went into her that way, that way you do, shaking all over, hearing the heel of my shoe drumming against the driver’s-side door in a spastic tattoo, thinking that I could do this even if I was dying, even if I was dying, even if I was dying; thinking also that it was information. The pump turns on in ecstasy, the cards fall where they fall, the world never misses a beat, the queen hides, the queen is found, and it was all information.”

The actor who played Sunspot in "X-Men: Days of Future Past"
reportedly died at 42 on Monday, January 8, 2024.
"With the timeline altered, Sunspot retreats with the group to
a monastery in China where they meet with the X-Men and
send Wolverine's consciousness back in time to 1973 and
alter the timeline to prevent the current war against Mutants.
While Shadowcat performs the process, Sunspot and the group
guard the monastery." — Fandom.com
