Re: Dick Lipton & Ken Regan • (1) • (2) Putting all thought of the Frankl Conjecture out of our minds for the moment, let’s return to the proposition in Example 1 and work through its differential analysis from scratch. Example … Continue reading

Re: Dick Lipton & Ken Regan • (1) • (2) Let’s go back to the “key lemma” from (2) and try it out on a simple example, just to get a sense of what the terms mean. Lemma.  Let be … Continue reading

Re: Dick Lipton & Ken Regan • (1) • (2) Supplied by the cache of definitions from Post 1, I can return to the passage from (2) that seemed to jog a bit of memory and see if what I imagined … Continue reading

Re: Dick Lipton and Ken Regan • (1) • (2) I need to think a little about the context Lipton and Regan have wrapped around the Frankl Conjecture, if not exactly about the problem itself.  This will be a scratch-worky … Continue reading

Re: Peirce List • Stephen Rose Just a note to anchor a series of recurring thoughts that come to mind in relation to a Peirce List discussion of entropy etc., but I won’t have much to say on the bio-chemico-physico-thermo-dynamic … Continue reading

All Process, No Paradox • 5

In the midst of this strife, whereat the halls of Ilúvatar shook and a tremor ran out into the silences yet unmoved, Ilúvatar arose a third time, and his face was terrible to behold.  Then he raised up both his … Continue reading
