* Other sources, such as The New York Times , give August 16 as the
date of death. That date in this journal also deals with art and reality.

The previous post discussed the phrase "plot structure."
A different approach —

Plot Structure
From Peter J. Cameron's weblog today —
"It happens sometimes that researchers working in different fields
study the same thing, give it different names, and don’t realise that
there is further work on the subject somewhere else…."
Cameron's example of a theorem connecting work on
the same thing in different fields —
"Theorem A partition Δ is equitable for a graph Γ if and only if
the projection matrix onto the subspace of functions constant
on parts of Δ commutes with the adjacency matrix of Γ."
A phrase from Cameron's remarks today —
"Thus we have to consider 'plot structure'…."
For more remarks on different fields and plot structure , see
"Quantum Tesseract Theorem" in this weblog.
