That article concludes with a blurb for Horowitz himself:

Raiders of the Lost Space
From 1981 —
From today —
Update —
A Magma check of the motif-generated space shows that
its dimension is only 8, not 12 as with the MOG space.
Four more basis vectors can be added to the 24 motifs to
bring the generated space up to 12 dimensions: the left
brick, the middle brick, the top half (2×6), the left half (4×3).
I have not yet checked the minimum weight in the resulting
12-dimensional 4×6 bit-space.

Pasaje: Raiders of the Lost Chord
Season 1 of "The Resort" will end as "The Lord of the Rings:
The Rings of Power" begins.
For seekers of the Pasaje — "The Room Outside of Time" —
"The Vision is of what the transliteration of their collaborative
Great Music into a material reality would be like. They are
shown that the Music has a point, has a result and effect
beyond its composition and singing: it amounts to no less
than a highly detailed template commensurate with the entire
history – beginning to end – of a material, 'physical' Universe
that could exist inside 'time'."

"What modern painters are trying to do,
— James J. Gibson in Leonardo An example of invariant structure:
The three line diagrams above result from the three partitions, into pairs of 2-element sets, of the 4-element set from which the entries of the bottom colored figure are drawn. Taken as a set, these three line diagrams describe the structure of the bottom colored figure. After coordinatizing the figure in a suitable manner, we find that this set of three line diagrams is invariant under the group of 16 binary translations acting on the colored figure. A more remarkable invariance — that of symmetry itself — is observed if we arbitrarily and repeatedly permute rows and/or columns and/or 2×2 quadrants of the colored figure above. Each resulting figure has some ordinary or color-interchange symmetry. This sort of mathematics illustrates the invisible "form" or "idea" behind the visible two-color pattern. Hence it exemplifies, in a way, the conflict described by Plato between those who say that "real existence belongs only to that which can be handled" and those who say that "true reality consists in certain intelligible and bodiless forms." |

Raiders of the Lost Dorm Room
“That really is, really, I think, the Island of the Misfit Toys at that point.
You have crossed the Rubicon, you jumped on the crazy train and
you’re headed into the cliffs that guard the flat earth at that time, brother,”
said Rep. Denver Riggleman, a Republican congressman from Virginia,
in an interview."
