The Omega Story
|
"We tell ourselves stories in order to live…. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of multiple choices. We live entirely, especially if we are writers, by the imposition of a narrative line upon disparate images, by the 'ideas' with which we have learned to freeze the shifting phantasmagoria which is our actual experience." |
See also a post from May 4, 2011 (the date, according to a Google
search, of untitled notes regarding a matrix called Omega).

Math Rights
"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."

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."
