Chapman’s Homer
(Continued from August 23, 2012)
“Good is a noun. That was it.
That was what Phaedrus had been looking for.
That was the homer over the fence
that ended the ballgame.”
But perhaps not a proper noun.
See the link to Good's Singularity
at the end of today's previous post.

Annals of Quantum Hype
Yesterday's link to Aaronson and Turing suggests a review
of events on August 16, 2012 in the light of Log24 on that date.
Exhibit A: New Institute for Quantum Studies at Chapman University—
Exhibit B: The Aug. 16, 2012, death of Chapman University's Indiana Jones—
Whether this Indiana Jones successfully transgressed
the boundaries of space and time, I do not know.
Exhibit C: Related quantum hype—

Transgressing the Boundary
The title refers not to the 1996 Sokal hoax (which has
Boundaries , plural, in the title), but to the boundary
discussed in Monday's Penrose diamond post—
"Science is a differential equation.
Religion is a boundary condition."
— Alan Turing in the epigraph to the
first chapter of a book by Terence Tao
From the Tao book, page 170—
"Typically the transformed solution extends to the
boundary of the Penrose diamond and beyond…."
Transgressing the boundary between science
and religion is the topic of a 1991 paper available
at JSTOR for $29.
For the Pope on Ash Wednesday:
"Think you might have access
to this content via your library?" —JSTOR

Chapman’s Homer
Louis Sahagun in today's Los Angeles Times—
The late Professor Marvin W. Meyer
"was our Indiana Jones," said James L. Doti,
president of Chapman University in Orange,
where Meyer held the Griset Chair in Bible
and Christian Studies and was director of
the Albert Schweitzer Institute.
Meyer reportedly died on August 16.
