Roger, 

 

This is great!  I love the Darwin quote:

 

He is supposed to have concluded that “a mathematician is a blind man in a dark 
room looking for a black cat which isn’t there.”

 

It sounds apochrophal to me, but I will take it.

Subject: [FRIAM] what is math?

 

This essay seems like a literate summary of discussions that Friam's chaotic 
orbits have visited from time to time.

May you dream that you are awake.
