~~What does appending a tilde mean? From the first post i thought is was just slang for 'this is really a tilde object that does it's thing right' as in underlining. After that the thread took a direction into discussion about time and space/ dimensions.
The space-time thread was a joke of mine because of the way float-objects and signal-objects relate to each other. It was a thought experiment on what would be the most legitimate use of a second tilde in a way that is most like adding the first tilde in the first place. I tried to be as theoretically right as I could while knowing that in practice it's nonsense. I am not being a pure mathematician here, because pure mathematicians don't see the problem with having multiple time dimensions. (they wouldn't even mind working with infinitely many time dimensions and making a theory about it)
Anyway: I don't quite approve of the use of a double-tilde, which was my reason for the joke in the first place.
