" 'Teorema' (theorem) is a parable, a movie of realistic images

that drains them of comforting emotional meaning."

a very hip Jesuit to convert it into a testament to
contemporary Roman Catholic dogma."

Void Game . . . Continues.
|
From Quine's "Two Dogmas of Empiricism" — "Meaning, let us remember, is not to be identified with naming. Frege's example of 'Evening Star' and 'Morning Star' and Russell's of 'Scott' and 'the author of Waverly ', illustrate that terms can name the same thing but differ in meaning. The distinction between meaning and naming is no less important at the level of abstract terms. The terms '9' and 'the number of the planets' name one and the same abstract entity but presumably must be regarded as unlike in meaning; for astronomical observation was needed, and not mere reflection on meanings, to determine the sameness of the entity in question. The above examples consist of singular terms, concrete and abstract. With general terms, or predicates, the situation is somewhat different but parallel. Whereas a singular term purports to name an entity, abstract or concrete, a general term does not; but a general term is true of an entity, or of each of many, or of none." |

Eliot Illustrated
T.S. Eliot and
the music of poetry
Durham theses, Durham University, 1999
"Taking into consideration the Symbolist influence,
together with his preoccupation with language
and his interest in the musical quality inherent
in verse, one finds that Eliot's verse contains
a rhythmic movement that tends to sweep across
the whole line and links lines and stanzas together.
His is a language that is highly charged with
a harmonic resonance and a certain distancing
and abstracting which makes the reference
more universal, less specifically personal."

"Recently, several leading academic journals and publishers
updated their submission guidelines to explicitly ban researchers
from listing ChatGPT as a co-author, or using text copied from a
ChatGPT response. Some professors have criticized these bans
as shortsightedly resistant to an inevitable technological change.
We shouldn’t be surprised at the disagreement. This is a new
ethical space that only roughly follows the outlines of our existing
agreements on plagiarism, authorship criteria, and fraud.
Precisely where to draw red lines is not clear."

in one of my nieces, Amie Wilkinson, a professor at the University

"Amie Wilkinson is an explorer. Instead of seeking uncharted land,
she’s after undiscovered mathematical worlds — complex systems
of motion that unfold in unexpected ways. As a professor at the

Wilkinson’s career has proceeded in a dynamical way, too. She now
approaches her roles as a researcher, teacher and mentor very
differently than she did when she was starting out."
