The New York Times today—
"Reality and our perception of it are incommensurate…."
The above New York Times Wire item from 3:35 PM ET today
mentions two topics touched on in today's earlier Log24 post
Bowling in Diagon Alley— magic (implied by the title) and
incommensurability. The connection in that post
between the two topics is the diagonal of a square.
The wire item shows one detail from a Times illustration
of the linked article— a blindfolded woman.
Another detail from the same illustration—
Hands-on Wand Work
See also remarks on Magic in this journal and on Harry Potter.
I dislike both topics.
