an action-packed climax'.^[1]"

Modernism Week gears up to host thousands
of attendees with Opening Night Party

Thousands of architecture enthusiasts from throughout the country and around the globe are visiting the Coachella Valley for this year's Modernism Week.

The eleven day event kicked off Thursday night [Feb. 15] with their 'Opening Night Fever Dance Party.'

This year's opening night celebration marked one of the largest in Modernism Week history with over 600 attendees.

Yet that's only a small fraction of the people that will be enjoying the hundreds of events scheduled in the coming days.

According to reports, Modernism Week contributes millions of dollars to the Coachella Valley’s economy, with an attendance record of more than 100,000 people.

In the mind of the mathematician,
Among the figures and forms,
Lies the Cullinane diamond theorem,
A structure that transforms.

Four-diamond figure, a 4×4 array,
Of two-color diagonally-divided square tiles,
Permutations of these sixteen,
In rows, columns, and quadrants compiles.

Every G-image of the four-diamond figure,
Has some ordinary or color-interchange symmetry,
A pattern, a structure, a mathematical picture,
A testament to geometry's clarity.

The symmetry of the line diagrams,
Accounts for the symmetry of the two-color patterns,
A proof shows that a 2nx2n two-color triangular half-squares pattern,
Must have a 2×2 center with a symmetry that matters.

And this symmetry must be shared by the entire pattern,
A statement, a theorem, a mathematical lantern,
G is isomorphic to the affine group A,
On the linear 4-space over GF (2), they say.

The 35 structures of the 840 = 35 x 24 G-images,
Are isomorphic to the 35 lines,
In the 3-dimensional projective space over GF (2),
A concept that shines.

So here lies the beauty of the Cullinane diamond theorem,
In the mind of the mathematician, it's a gem,
A structure, a pattern, a mathematical diagram,
A testament to the beauty of STEM.

From the film Hurlyburly —

I'm hungry.

You want a Jack-in-the-Box?

I love Jack-in-the-Box.

Is that code for something?

What?

What? Is what code for what?

I don't know.

I don't know the goddamn code!
