Correctly Categorizing Chatterboxen

Those of you who’ve seen my slide deck, perhaps with an eye to performing it yourself, per my suggestion-invitation, may recall that slide wherein I go: 4D: Coxeter (polytopes, extended Euclideanism, perpendiculars) 4D: Einstein (3D space + imaginary time) 4D: RBF (a container as a concept primitively “4-eyed”) I’m paraphrasing…

Transitions

Blockchain Meets Tetrahelix

4D Solutions — I don’t huddle with marketing gurus all that much, at least not in this chapter. True, I go by Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for those coffee shops network blueprints (CSN), featuring a business philosophy geared for charity, however there I don’t have much competition to copy from.

Some Anticipatory Autobiography

People have always needed to cordon off, to keep the animals penned in, to keep the raiding hordes away from the castle keep. We have the same need in language, to circle the wagons and create a safe space. But then the invaders invade, the cattle breaks free, and we…

Philosophy: Is Nature Not Using Pi?
