"Gabriel Ice is supposed to be an 'amiable geek' 
whose greed and success as a tech entrepreneur
have turned him to the dark side, but it’s hard to
believe that this kid billionaire and his wife would
choose to live in 'deep hairband country' on the
Upper East Side, in a grand dwelling boasting a
Bösendorfer Imperial in the corner of one of its
public rooms, 'at which generations of hired piano
players have provided hours of Kander & Ebb,
Rodgers & Hammerstein, Andrew Lloyd Webber
medleys.' "

The name "Kilgore Trout" in the previous post suggests a passage in

"The 'Kilgore Trout' name was a transparent reference to
the older writer (substituting 'Kilgore' for 'Theodore' and
'Trout' for 'Sturgeon'), but since the characterization was
less than flattering (both Sturgeon and Trout were financially
unsuccessful and seemingly slipping into obscurity),
Vonnegut did not publicly state the connection, nor did
Sturgeon encourage the comparison."

that so much money and attention should be concentrated

with the human mind, which by dint of language, in the
words of Wilhelm von Humboldt, can make 'infinite use of
finite means,' creating ideas and theories with universal reach."

The response of ChatGPT to a question about my work
continues to evolve.  It now credits Conway, not Thurston,*
for the diamond theorem.

The paragraph beginning "The theorem states" appears** to be based
on the following 24 patterns — which number only 8, if rotated or
reflected patterns are considered equivalent.

* For Thurston in an earlier ChatGPT response to the same question,
see a Log24 post of Feb. 25.

** The illustration above is based on the divison of a square into
four smaller subsquares.  If the square is rotated by 45 degrees,
it becomes a diamond  that can be, in the language of ChatGPT,
divided into "four smaller diamonds ."

If my sense of it from accounts I have read is accurate,
it involves seeing the world and realizing that you always
knew its true nature, but you just didn’t know you knew
because you were too busy putting it into boxes and
matrices and categories and words. Which reminds us
again that while logical deductions and categorizations
can lead us to discoveries, they can also lead us away
from them."

Zwei Seelen

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 7:39 pm

"Zwei Seelen wohnen, ach! in meiner Brust,
die eine will sich von der andern trennen:
Die eine hält in derber Liebeslust
sich an die Welt mit klammernden Organen;
die andre hebt gewaltsam sich vom Dust
zu den Gefilden hoher Ahnen."

— Faust 1, Vers 1112 – 1117; Vor dem Tor. (Faust),
according to www.gutzitiert.de.

A version in English "In me there are two souls."

Interstices and Symmetry

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 10:02 am

Call a 4×4 array labeled with 4 copies each
of 4 different symbols a foursquare.

The symmetries of foursquares are governed
by the symmetries of their 24 interstices

The 24 interstices of a 4x4 array

A similar exercise might involve the above 24 interstices of a 4×4 array.
