Constructivist Theology
This journal on December 24, 2016 (Christmas Eve)
quoted some remarks on "constructivism" in art and
added a link to the same word as applied in mathematics:
"The word 'constructivism' also refers to
a philosophy of mathematics. See a Log24 post,
'Constructivist Witness' . . . ."
From that post —
From a post later the same day, Dec. 22— "The Laugh-Hospital"—
This (Jan. 2, 2017) post was suggested by the reported Christmas Eve death
of a Jesuit priest, Joseph Fitzmyer.
Those entertained by the thought of constructivist laugh-hospitals may
contemplate the New Year's Eve death of a sitcom actor who played
a priest. See today's previous post, Sitcom Theology.

The Devil’s Offer
This is a sequel to the previous post and to the Oct. 24 post
Two Views of Finite Space. From the latter —
” ‘All you need to do is give me your soul:
give up geometry and you will have this
marvellous machine.’ (Nowadays you
can think of it as a computer!) “

Eight Gate
From a Huffington Post discussion of aesthetics by Colm Mulcahy
of Spelman College, Atlanta:
"The image below on the left… is… overly simplistic, and lacks reality:
It's all a matter of perspective: the problem here is that opposite sides
of the cube, which are parallel in real life, actually look parallel in the
left image! The image on the right is better…."
