at about 3 PM ET on Friday, July 21, 2023 —

Hi there 👋 I'm a self-service chatbot and I'm here to help you with anything related to Finite Geometry of the Square and Cube. Just ask away! 🙂

What is the diamond theorem?

The Diamond Theorem is a mathematical concept that was introduced by Steven H. Cullinane. It is closely related to finite geometry and explores the symmetries and patterns found in diamond-shaped arrays. The theorem has applications in various areas, including combinatorial designs, group theory, and quantum information theory. If you'd like more information or have any specific questions about the Diamond Theorem, feel free to ask! 😊

Is this website related to the work of Peter J. Cameron?

No, the website "Finite Geometry of the Square and Cube" is not directly related to the work of Peter J. Cameron. It is primarily focused on the study of finite geometry, particularly the symmetries and patterns found in square and cube arrays. The website is authored by Steven H. Cullinane, who has made significant contributions to the field. If you have any more questions or need further information, feel free to ask! 😊

What is the theorem of Desargues?

The theorem of Desargues, named after the French mathematician Gérard Desargues, is a fundamental result in projective geometry. It states that if two triangles are perspective from a point, then they are perspective from a line as well. In other words, if the three pairs of corresponding sides of two triangles intersect at three points that are collinear, then the three pairs of corresponding vertices of the triangles are collinear as well. This theorem has important implications in the study of projective geometry and has applications in various fields, including computer graphics and architecture. If you have any more questions or need further information, feel free to ask! 😊

D-Day Science Death

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 12:44 am

New York Times  obituary yesterday reported the 
June 6 death, at 91, of a Harvard professor who dealt with
the relations between science and society —

“ 'Everett was one of a new generation of social historians
of science who insisted that it was not enough to pay attention
to the internal intellectual story of science,' Anne Harrington,
the Franklin L. Ford professor of the history of science at Harvard,
said by email. 'The field needed to attend also to how science was
shaped by and also helped shape the conditions of the social world.' ”

Consider as well Scarlett Johansson on Alan Watts in "Her" (2013)
and Harrington on intellectual history in Cuernavaca . . .

By 1956, Fromm was dining at Suzuki’s part-time home in New York City, and talking with him about ways in which Zen could contribute to a wholesale reimagining of psychoanalytic therapeutics and theory (see Friedman and Schreiber 2013). By this time, also, Fromm was himself spending considerable periods of time at a new home in Cuernavaca, Mexico. At one point he suggested that Suzuki consider moving in with him permanently. When Suzuki politely declined, Fromm conceived instead a major conference based in Mexico that would try to take stock of the entire current state of the conversation between Zen and psychotherapy (see Friedman and Schreiber 2013). In 1957, some fifty psychotherapists—double the original expected number—participated in a week of presentations and discussions. Fromm later recalled the event as a magical time: what began as a traditional conference with the usual ‘over-emphasis on thoughts and words' changed over a few days, as people 'became more concentrated and more quiet.'

The Sunset of Dissolution

Filed under: General — m759 @ 6:59 pm

Dwight Garner today on the late Milan Kundera:

"Kundera’s novels, especially his later ones, could be abstract and
heavy-handed. His characters, at times, were little more than chess pieces.
Their author could be pretentious. His work is filled with observations such as:
'In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia,
even the guillotine.' But his best fiction retains its moments of sweep and power."

Illustration for Florence King's 1989 review of The Eight , a  novel 
by Katherine Neville that features prominently the date April 4.

See also "Dissolution" in this  journal.

Form and Subject

Filed under: General — m759 @ 6:59 am

"Mr. Kundera told The Paris Review  in 1983:

'My lifetime ambition has been to unite
the utmost seriousness of question with
the utmost lightness of form. The combination of
a frivolous form and a serious subject
immediately unmasks the truth about our dramas
(those that occur in our beds as well as those that
we play out on the great stage of History) and their
awful insignificance. We experience the unbearable
lightness of being.' "

The above is from The New York Times  this morning.
The Times says that Kundera died yesterday in Paris at 94.
