The Follower: A Short Story for Stephen King
“Mathematics may be art, but to the general public it is
a black art, more akin to magic and mystery. This presents
a constant challenge to the mathematical community: to explain
how art fits into our subject and what we mean by beauty.”
— Sir Michael Atiyah, quoted here on April 4, 2016

IT (Plan 9 Continues.)
From the Field of Manifestation link above —
"The number 9, that is to say, relates traditionally
to the Great Goddess of Many Names (Devi,
Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte, Artemis, Venus, etc.)
as matrix of the cosmic process, whether in the
macrocosm or in a microcosmic field of manifestation."
— Joseph Campbell,
The Inner Reaches of Outer Space
For Stephen King:
"I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink."

Fields
Edward Frenkel recently claimed for Robert Langlands
the discovery of a link between two "totally different"
fields of mathematics— number theory and harmonic analysis.
He implied that before Langlands, no relationship between
these fields was known.
See his recent book, and his lecture at the Fields Institute
in Toronto on October 24, 2013.
Meanwhile, in this journal on that date, two math-related
quotations for Stephen King, author of Doctor Sleep—

"Danvers is a town in Essex County, Massachusetts, |

The arrows in the figure at the right are an attempt to say visually that
the diamond theorem is related to various fields of mathematics.
There is no claim that prior to the theorem, these fields were not related.

No Place Like Home:
A Father's Day Special
for Stephen King
A Father's Day Special
for Stephen King
"… the poet's search
for the same exterior
made / Interior"
— Wallace Stevens
"Imago. Imago. Imago."
— Wallace Stevens
(See previous entry.)
Stevens's phrase was
the epigraph to
The Imago Sequence,
a novella published
in May 2005.
From a review
(containing a spoiler)
of the novella:
"The Imago Sequence are three notable photographs taken by an otherwise unnotable photographer. They are photographs taken underground, location a well kept secret, and show either a bizarre rock formation carved out over millenia, or perhaps the imprint of a fossiled hominid in an anguished pose.
The photographs can have an impact on the viewer, and have had a history of having a major impact on the owners. One has changed hands, and the new owner shows off his new prized objet d'art, and sets one of his employees the tasks [sic] of identifying the location of the third in the sequence…."
Greensburg, Kansas
prior to
May 4, 2007:
This may be taken
as a reference to
today's previous entry.
That entry, like
the novella
The Imago Sequence,
contains a sequence
of three photographs.
The sequence was made
a month or so after the
novella was published,
but I was unaware
until this afternoon
that the novella existed.
Besides
"Imago Imago Imago,"
two other phrases
come to mind…
The real estate motto
"Location, Location, Location"
and Stevens again—
"Adam in Eden was the
father of Descartes."
Happy Father's Day.
