An illustration from the Axiom Attics post linked to on March 13 —
Clay Risen in The New York Times yesterday, in reporting the March 13
death of a Mother-Jones-cofounding journalist . . .
"In between editing investigative journalism, he wrote
a science fiction thriller, The Black Hole Affair (1991)."
The description at Amazon.com of that thriller —

(SBN 0-8217-3470-9) Embossed wrappers with foil lettering. Good copy, back wrapper scuffed. thight copy, unread. It was the orbital weapon powerful enough to destroy entire nations. The Pentagon would kill anyone who tried to expose the lethal secrets of the Black Hole Affair. "Klein knows more about Silicon Valley's Dark Side than anyone!" — Mike Malone, PBS. "'The Black Hole Affair' captures the terror of our times!" — Mike Weiss, Edgar Award Winner. The Black Hole Affair, code name for a super secret Star Wars weapons program powerful enough to destroy America's enemies in minutes and reduce half the earth to a nuclear wasteland. The most closely guarded military program ever funded by the Pentagon's infamous "black budget" — only two men knew its true power and would kill to protect it. The deadliest government conspiracy in U.S. history, it was the story of a lifetime for Silicon Valley's investigative reporter Eli Franklin, that if if he lived long enough to tell it. Fiction. |

A Sunday Sermon: Math Noir
From this journal last Sunday morning . . .
From this journal this morning . . .
"In conclusion: what an axiomatic presentation of a piece of mathematics
conceals is at least as relevant to the understanding of mathematics
as what an axiomatic presentation pretends to state." — Gian-Carlo Rota
As for noir . . .
Consider how Apple TV recently created "brutal, exaggerated worlds
that originated in actual locations" and also created a villainous
private company named Axiom .
Some relevant history of mathematics . . .
"The bond with reality is cut." — Freudenthal on axiomatics .

For Guy Noir
From a search for Limerick in this journal —
"C A V E S is an exhibition of three large scale works,
each designed to immerse the viewer, and then to
confront the audience with a question regarding how far
they, as privileged viewers of the shadows and reflections
being played out upon the walls, are willing to allow
themselves to believe what they know to be a false reality."
