Double Helix Art: “Something Old, Something New”
The title was suggested by the previous post and by a scientist's
obituary (The New York Times, 5:26 PM EDT today.)
"The experiment demonstrated that after DNA unwinds and is replicated,
each new DNA molecule contains one original, or parental, strand and
one newly copied strand.
. . . .
That finding was considered a landmark discovery.
. . . .
'Watson and Crick had produced a pretty model, but had no hard data,'
Andy Stahl said. 'But that’s what the Meselson-Stahl Experiment did:
It proved how DNA replicates.' "

For Harlan Kane: The 713 Redemption
"I need a photo opportunity, I want a shot at redemption.
Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard."
– Paul Simon
From The Queen's Gambit , by Walter Tevis (1983) —
"She stopped and turned to Beth. 'There is no hint of a
Protestant ethic in Mexico. They are all Latin Catholics,
and they all live in the here and now.' Mrs. Wheatley
had been reading Alan Watts. 'I think I’ll have just one
margarita before I go out. Would you call for one, honey?'
Back in Lexington, Mrs. Wheatley’s voice would sometimes
have a distance to it, as though she were speaking from
some lonely reach of an interior childhood. Here in Mexico City
the voice was distant but the tone was theatrically gay, as though
Alma Wheatley were savoring an incommunicable private mirth.
It made Beth uneasy. For a moment she wanted to say something
about the expensiveness of room service, even measured in pesos,
but she didn’t. She picked up the phone and dialed six. The man
answered in English. She told him to send a margarita and a large
Coke to 713."

The Junction Function
A function (in this case, a 1-to-1 correspondence) from finite geometry:
This correspondence between points and hyperplanes underlies
the symmetries discussed in the Cullinane diamond theorem.

Redemptive Ephiphanic Impression
“ Harry decides his chief peacetime duty is to use his
gift for gab to further his ‘overriding purpose,’ namely:
‘By recalling the past and freezing the present he could
open the gates of time and through them see all
allegedly sequential things as a single masterwork
with neither boundaries nor divisions.’ Once he opens
these gates, Harry will flood his audience with his
redemptive epiphanic impression that ‘the world was
saturated with love.’ ”
