Norm of our vectors, known of old-- Lord of our far-flung number line Beneath whose measured length we hold Dominion over quad and spline-- Memory trace, be with us yet, Lest we forget - lest we forget! Thy referents to meanings bind; The captains and the kings are nil: Still stand Thine ancient symbols still And theory of the pattern mind. Oh R of N, be with us yet, Lest we forget - lest we forget! Far-called, our transforms melt away; On sine and cosine sinks the fire: Lo, all our linearity Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Space of all Phases, spare us yet, Lest we forget - lest we forget! If, drunk with powersets, we loos'd Mere discrete symbol sequences-- Such boasting as Eliza used Or lesser breeds of "expert" sys-- Eigenvector, keep us yet, Lest we forget - lest we forget! For heathen heart that puts its trust In vacuum tube and FET-- All valiant dust that builds on dust, And logic which can't count to 3: For foolish boast and pie in sky, Have mercy on Thine AGI! * * * Oh, wait, you said VECtorian ... I thought you said VICtorian... Never mind! Josh
