Prose Style
"Vast realm . . . enchanting . . . capturing the imagination . . .
profound elegance . . . deep connections . . . ."
— Jarod Alper in the December 2025
Notices of the American Mathematical Society,
discussing a topic illustrated on the Notices cover.
Sounds to me like he's channeling SID 6.7 (or Mark Helprin).

The Crowe Sphere
From Wallace Stevens's "A Primitive Like an Orb"—
But the virtuoso never leaves his shape,
Still on the horizon elongates his cuts,
And still angelic and still plenteous,
Imposes power by the power of his form.
See also the film Virtuosity and The Crowe Sphere
(a Log24 search that includes, by accident, a post
with the phrase "he crowed exultantly.").
Such a crowing: Cagney's classic "Top of the world!"
Those who seek significance in the name of Crowe's
character in Virtuosity , "SID 6.7," may consult yesterday's
Primordiality and a related post of 6.7 (June 7), 2010.
(For the "SID" part, see Caesar in this journal and Gladiator.)
