The Ehrlich Date

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 10:30 pm

The previous post linked to a review by David Ehrlich of the film
"Dog Years," starring Burt Reynolds. The review was dated April 26, 2017.

Also on that date . . .

This post from 2017 deals with the mathematics of "diamond theory,"
an approach to models of finite geometry.

Related philosophy —

The "diamond theory" of truth, as opposed to the "story theory."
(See Richard Trudeau, The Non-Euclidean Revolution.)

For those who prefer the story theory, there is, for instance,
the novel City of God  by E. L. Doctorow —

"In the Garden of Adding 
Live Even and Odd…."

Pentagon with pentagram    

Note that Hudson’s 1905 “unfolding” of even and odd puts even on top of
the square array, but my own 2013 unfolding above puts even at its left.
