  • On randomness

    Good afternoon

    Is the ordered “better” than the unordered? It can be described as a matter of taste. Continuing it can be argued that there is taste that is better than other tastes. Perhaps “better” is not the perfect word but it seems practical to argue that taste develops and that a developed taste is preferred.

    An example can be given by comparing the speech of babies vis-a-vis the speech of adults. A rational human being would prefer to listen to the speech of an adult over the speech of a baby. Of course the situation is slightly different when it concerns ones own child but nevertheless it is possible to imagine that a homo sapiens will become a little crazy is she only has interaction with developing speech patterns.

  • Olà #3

    I may choose to use “title #n” to indicate the n-th post in a selfcontained train of thought

    This seems cleaner than repeating “title (cont.)”

    Also wordpress might have solved the issue by using unique post ids in order to allow multiple posts with the same title but perhaps this is not how they operate

    I am not intending to test wordpress’ internal mechanisms by creating multiple posts with the same title

    We might discuss computer science history and economics as well

  • Olà cont. (some notes on conventions)

    Cont. will mean “continuation” as in the post is a continuation of the previous post

    At the bottom of the page it should be possible to go back to the previous post in the continuoued line.

    I added an icon to the site I chose the Greek “phi” over the symbol of the zero set.

    These litera will contain both male and female forms for neuter categories

    Welcome dear reader

    Let’s go on a journey together ; in this blog we will discuss mathematics as well as literature as well as poetry

    I might choose to leave conventional grammar at the door and I may choose to adhere to traditional grammar paradigms

    You as valued reader can leave comments notes improvisations and improvements

    Together we might be able to learn from each other
