The phrase “change arises” is from Arkani-Hamed in 2013, describing
calculations in physics related to properties of the positive Grassmannian —
A related recent illustration from Quanta Magazine —
The above illustration of seven cells is not unrelated to
the eightfold-cube model of the seven projective points in
the Fano plane.
The “Change Arises” part of the title refers to the previous post.
The 1905 “geometric object” there, a 4×4 square, appeared earlier,
in 1869, in a paper by Camille Jordan. For that paper, and the
“literary example” of the title, see “Ici vient M. Jordan .”
This post was suggested by the appearance of Jordan in today’s
memorial post for Peter M. Neumann by Peter J. Cameron.

If the object is a cube, change arises from the fact
that the object has six faces…
and is the unit cell for the six -dimensional
hyperspace H over the two-element field —

“Somehow, a message had been lost on me. Groups act .
The elements of a group do not have to just sit there,
abstract and implacable; they can do things, they can
‘produce changes.’ In particular, groups arise
naturally as the symmetries of a set with structure.”

in The American Mathematical Monthly , Vol. 94, No. 4
(April 1987), pp. 392-394.
“The concept of group actions is very useful in the study of
isomorphisms of combinatorial structures.”

From a New Yorker book review dated May 13 —
"In 'Field Flowers,' Glück’s flower scoffs that 'absence of change'
is humanity’s 'poor idea of heaven.' But the religious believer
might object that Hägglund’s idea of eternity is equally poor."

This Life: Secular Faith and Spiritual Freedom
(Pantheon, March 5, 2019).
