For Harlan Kane: The Gombrich Anomaly
Axiomatics: Mathematical Thought and High Modernism
by Alma Steingart (University of Chicago Press, 2023) has an
illustration of interest.
The illustration and its caption are from an article by Ernst Gombrich
in The Atlantic, April 1958.
But seriously . . . For Calvin University —
“Anomalies must be expected along the conceptual frontier
between the temporal and the eternal.”
— The Death of Adam, by Marilynne Robinson, Houghton Mifflin,
1998, essay on Marguerite de Navarre.
“D’exterieur en l’interieur entre
Qui va par moi, et au milieu du centre
Me trouvera, qui suis le point unique,
La fin, le but de la mathematique;
Le cercle suis dont toute chose vient,
Le point ou tout retourne et se maintient.”
— Marguerite de Navarre

For Harlan Kane: Husserl vs. Verhexung
"Die Philosophie ist ein Kampf gegen die Verhexung
unsres Verstandes durch die Mittel unserer Sprache."
— Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations (1953),
Section 109
"The newly redesigned Museum of Modern art
bracketed a rectangular open space."
— Photo caption in a Dec. 23 New York Times obituary
"The literature is replete with explanations of the benefits of
bracketing, not only in phenomenological studies but in other
types of qualitative research."
— Thomas, S. P., & Sohn, B. K. (2023).
From Uncomfortable Squirm to Self-Discovery:
A Phenomenological Analysis of the Bracketing Experience.
International Journal of Qualitative Methods, 22.
https://doi.org/10.1177/16094069231191635
An application of the Husserl approach to Verhexung —
Bracketing the phrase "Galois space" in the literature yields different
mathematical concepts, some derived from "Galois geometry," some
from "topological space."
The former relates to structures with a finite number of points, the latter
to structures with an infinite number of points. Sometimes the two sorts
of structure are related to one another. For example . . .

For Harlan Kane: The 713 Redemption
"I need a photo opportunity, I want a shot at redemption.
Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard."
– Paul Simon
From The Queen's Gambit , by Walter Tevis (1983) —
"She stopped and turned to Beth. 'There is no hint of a
Protestant ethic in Mexico. They are all Latin Catholics,
and they all live in the here and now.' Mrs. Wheatley
had been reading Alan Watts. 'I think I’ll have just one
margarita before I go out. Would you call for one, honey?'
Back in Lexington, Mrs. Wheatley’s voice would sometimes
have a distance to it, as though she were speaking from
some lonely reach of an interior childhood. Here in Mexico City
the voice was distant but the tone was theatrically gay, as though
Alma Wheatley were savoring an incommunicable private mirth.
It made Beth uneasy. For a moment she wanted to say something
about the expensiveness of room service, even measured in pesos,
but she didn’t. She picked up the phone and dialed six. The man
answered in English. She told him to send a margarita and a large
Coke to 713."

For Harlan Kane: The Hurlbut Identities
From a news story I encountered today —
Hurlbut Church in Chautauqua Institution presents their annual
'Yes, It’s Still Christmas' concert celebrating the journey into
the Christmas season. Saturday at 4 p.m., the Hurlbut sanctuary
will host a Chautauqua Big Band Christmas under the direction of
John Cross."
The phrase "Hurlbut Church" suggests an historical check . . .
A rather different historical check, based on the phrase "Hurlbut Hall,"
the name of my residence at Harvard in the academic year 1960-1961 . . .
