Exploitation

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 1:40 pm

The previous post suggests a phrase by George Mackey from a classic
1980 mathematics paper — "the exploitation of symmetry."
Another approach to exploitation, in a flashback to Sept. 9 last year . . .

See too the 2021 film "Last Night in Soho" and . . .

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…."
