"The Algebra Project  was born.

The project was a five-step philosophy of teaching
that can be applied to any concept, he wrote, 
including physical experience, pictorial representation,
people talk (explain it in your own words), feature talk
(put it into proper English) and symbolic representation."

Small Space Odyssey

References in recent posts to physical space and 
to mathematical space suggest a comparison.

Physical space is well known, at least in the world
of mass entertainment.

Mathematical space, such as the 12-dimensional
finite space of the Golay code, is less well known.

A figure from each space —

The source of the Conway-Sloane brick —

Quote from a mathematics writer —

“Looking carefully at Golay’s code is like staring into the sun.”

The former practice yields reflections like those of Conway and Sloane.
The latter practice is not recommended.

Signature Backdrop

"The Bitter End’s signature stage backdrop —
a bare 150-year-old brick wall — helped distinguish it from
other popular bohemian hangouts like the Village Gate  
and the Village Vanguard. It appeared on the cover of
Peter, Paul and Mary’s first album."
