Hello;

I'm sorry. I'm just ruminating out loud about the non-intuitive effects of the dot, which can throw me even after 17 years of J exposure.

We now return you....

Hello;

 Something interesting happens when the exponent is an actual number:

   27*^0.2
 32.9779

 This suggests:
   27 ^ (^. 2)
 Which takes me back to the documentation....

Sorry, but I really don't understand what you mean above.

We talked about the number

T =: 27 * (^. 2)

What does that have to do with any of the above two?
