Wikipedia Scholarship
Besides omitting the name Cullinane, the anonymous Wikipedia author
also omitted the step of representing the hypercube by a 4×4 array —
an array called in this journal a Galois tesseract.

Fooling
The two books pictured above are From Discrete to Continuous ,
by Katherine Neal, and Geometrical Landscapes , by Amir Alexander.
Note: There is no Galois (i.e., finite) field with six elements, but
the theory of finite fields underlies applications of six-set geometry.

Lost in Rashomon
" What this research implies is that we are not just hearing different 'stories'
about the electron, one of which may be true. Rather, there is one true story,
but it has many facets, seemingly in contradiction, just like in 'Rashomon.' "
