New-Age Trinity
"Taken together, vibe, mood, and energy formed
something like a loose philosophical system.
They presented the world as a swirl of forces
that eluded capture in rational thought, but that
could nevertheless be acutely sensed and even
influenced with the right kind of effort."

Ambient Meaning: Mood, Vibe, System
A dissertation presented by Peli Grietzer
to The Department of Comparative Literature
in partial fulfillment of the requirements for
the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in
the subject of Comparative Literature,
Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts,
November 2017 —
[Edited to emphasize key notions]
"On the picture that I am suggesting, there exists a reciprocity between
the structure of our sensibility or sensible cognition (system),
the structure of our affective life or social experience (mood),
and the structure of our social-material performance or production (style/vibe)
— a reciprocity whose approximate equilibrium or ‘metastable state’ binds
the cognitive, affective, and material aspects of life into a coherent lifeworld
or ‘totality.’ One way to tell the story of this reciprocity is as follows. The system
of our sensibility—our faculty of sensuous cognition that discloses objects, properties,
and patterns—recapitulates the structure of the social-material world. We continuously
calibrate our sensibility by attuning it to our social-material world’s dominant patterns
and forms, adapting our powers of apperception to the task of navigating our
social-material world." (Pp. 145-146.)
Compare and contrast the following trinities:

Trinity Stone
Or: "What Dreams May Come"
(For the foxtail girl)
"Most religious beliefs are not true. But here’s the crux.
The emotional brain doesn’t care. It doesn’t operate on
the grounds of true and false. Emotions are not true or false.
Even a terrible fear inside a dream is still a terrible fear."
— Stephen T. Asma in the New York Times philosophy

NotebookLM today . . . The Geometry of Invariance: Cullinane’s Diamond Theorem These sources detail the mathematical work of Steven H. Cullinane, specifically focusing on the Cullinane diamond theorem and its roots in finite geometry. The theorem explores how specific geometric patterns, such as those in a 4×4 array, maintain symmetry invariance under various transformation groups. Cullinane connects these abstract structures to group theory, Latin squares, and the Miracle Octad Generator, illustrating a deep link between combinatorics and visual design. Beyond pure mathematics, the texts highlight practical applications in graphic arts and quilt patterns while discussing philosophical implications related to classical geometry. Collectively, the documents provide a technical and historical overview of how finite projective spaces underlie the symmetrical properties of simple figures. |

From Tom McCarthy's review of The Maniac , a novel about 1940s social life at Los Alamos — "The mathematician Martin Davis’s wife, Lydia, storms out of a Trinity dinner party, condemning the men’s failure to fully take on board the consequences of their atom splitting. Besides sharing her name with our own age’s great translator of Blanchot and Proust, this Lydia Davis is a textile artist — a hanging detail that points back toward the novel’s many looms and weavings. For the Greeks, the fates spinning the threads of human lives were female (as Conrad knew, recasting them as Belgian secretaries in 'Heart of Darkness'). So was Theseus’ wool-ball navigator, Ariadne. And so, too, was the Ithacan ur-weaver Penelope, whose perpetual making and unraveling of her tapestry beat Gödel to an incompleteness theory by thousands of years. 'Text,' by the way, means something woven, from which we get 'textile.' It might just be that Penelope was not only testing her own version of the ontological limit, but also embedding it — in absent form, a hole — within the weft and warp of what we would eventually call the novel." |

Cold Comfort Dam
"And, as with all retold tales that are in people's hearts,
there are only good and bad things and black and white
things and good and evil things and no in-between anywhere."

uploading Dolores's pearl at Hoover Dam —
For those who prefer greater theological simplicity . . .
Optimus Prime on a different Hoover Dam figure, that of
the AllSpark: "Before time began, there was the Cube."
Simplifying even more . . .
“A set having three members is a single thing
wholly constituted by its members but distinct from them.
After this, the theological doctrine of the Trinity as
‘three in one’ should be child’s play.”
– Max Black, Caveats and Critiques: Philosophical Essays
in Language, Logic, and Art , Cornell U. Press, 1975
As above, Black's theology forms a cube.
