Musical accompaniment, suggested by an Instagram post
of Kate Beckinsale today —

♪  Jump to the left, turn to the right
     Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind.  ♪

The musical accompaniment suggests a search in this journal
for "Reservoir." From that search, some remarks of perhaps
greater philosophical interest —

But the letter  "e"  (for Einheit ) is still in action.

Simplex Sigillum Veri.

"Nine is a very powerful Nordic number."

From "When Novelists Become Cubists," by Andre Furlani—

"The architectonics of a narrative," Davenport says,
"are emphasized and given a role to play in dramatic effect
when novelists become Cubists; that is, when they see
the possibilities of making a hieroglyph, a coherent symbol,
an ideogram of the total work. A symbol comes into being
when an artist sees that it is the only way to get all the meaning in." 

* See "Starlight Like Intuition" by Delmore Schwartz.
The "Twelve" of the title may be regarded as cube edges.

C. S. Lewis on myth —

"The stories I am thinking of always have a very simple narrative shape—
a satisfactory and inevitable shape, like a good vase or a tulip."

Bill Walker, Nashville Force as
Conductor and Arranger, Dies at 95

" 'You are there to make the artist sound good,
not to show how clever you can be,' Mr. Walker said
of his philosophy of recording in a 2015 interview at
the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville."

— Bill Friskics-Warren in The New York Times  yesterday

Bill, some artists sound good without much help.

 "With the Tablet of Ahkmenrah and the Cube of Rubik,
my power will know no bounds!"
— Kahmunrah in a novelization of Night at the Museum:
Battle of the Smithsonian , Barron's Educational Series

Scholium —

Abstracting from narrative to structure, and from structure
to pure number, the Tablet of Ahkmenrah represents the
number 9 and the Cube of Rubik represents the number 27.

Returning from pure abstract numbers to concrete representations,
9 yields the structures in Log24 posts tagged Triangle.graphics,
and 27 yields a Galois  cube .

Continued from Saturday afternoon.

From a Jamestown (NY) Post-Journal  article yesterday on
"the sold-out 10,000 Maniacs 40th anniversary concert at
The Reg Lenna Center Saturday" —

" 'The theater has a special place in our hearts. It’s played
a big part in my life,' Gustafson said.

Before being known as The Reg Lenna Center for The Arts,
it was formerly known as The Palace Theater. He recalled
watching movies there as a child…."

This, and the band's name, suggest some memories perhaps
better suited to the cinematic philosophy behind "Plan 9 from
Outer Space."

 "With the Tablet of Ahkmenrah and the Cube of Rubik,
my power will know no bounds!"

The above 3×3 Tablet of Ahkmenrah  image comes from
a Log24 search for the finite (i.e., Galois) field GF(3) that 
was, in turn, suggested by last night's post "Making Space."

that mentions a 3×3 array "relating to nine halls of a mythical
palace where rites were performed in the 1st century AD" —
