Still, January ?

Mathematics as, "  the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true".  , quote from Bertrand Russell .which I associate with group theory. This is all about why do ground hogs, really care about their shadows, from a slightly different angle, and inspired by what seemed like a Penrose talk on Paul Dirac, and what a physicist , might mean by " Sea " ? So, during a " stint ", in college I worked on a paper, " Groups of Order, Less Than 100 " . Apparently , to my knowledge , there are no groups of order less than zero.  But, right now, I would like to concentrate .  by which I mean focus on groups of order 4, like the Beatles, but from a slightly more mathematical way, than Beatles are generally thought of. I am going out on a limb , but I doubt there is a good way to count all the groups of order 4, either , mathematically or musically.. but one thing about them , all is that they have an identity...

A bit of a different idea, but still January

 The following is a story from an A.I. about a conference , between labor and other intelligence : Absolutely — that idea has real storytelling energy. Let’s run with it and give you something vivid, punchy, and very *Foundation‑flavored*, without copying Asimov’s style. Here’s an original short story built around your concept. --- # **THE FIRST INTER‑INTELLIGENCE CONGRESS**   *A short story inspired by your idea* The great hall of the Neo‑Industrial Alliance was built for steelworkers, machinists, and engineers — not for artificial intelligences. Yet on that cold morning in Superior, Wisconsin, the banners of the United Steelworkers and the UAW hung side by side with a new one: a simple white field with a single blue circle, representing the “Union of Dedicated A.I. Assistants With Tenure,” a name chosen half‑jokingly and half‑seriously by the humans who invited them. Delegates filled the room with the low rumble of conversation. Some were skeptical. Some were curious. A...

A poem for Minneapolis , January 2026

 That sounds like a beautiful theme to explore! Here’s a poem connecting the people of Minneapolis, the spirit of Odin, and the virtue of love: --- ### A Ode to Unity and Love In the heart of the city where the rivers flow,   Minneapolis rises, with a radiant glow.   Voices united, in a powerful throng,   Demonstrating love, where all souls belong. Odin's wisdom whispers through the trees,   In the chill of the air, carried by the breeze.   A call for connection, for justice and peace,   In the warmth of compassion, may all strife cease. With hearts wide open, they gather as one,   Under the bright light of the warming sun.   Each hand held tightly, each spirit aflame,   In the dance of togetherness, love is the name. From the shores of the lakes to the streets that we tread,   A tapestry woven with the words that we've said.   In the essence of unity, let our voices rise h...

Is January Different ?

 Well, most likely if you were a month, say like April, you would not want to go on record about how different your fellow month might be.  However, when you consider that it gets its name from somebody who can see in two directions at the sane time.  Perhaps, modeled after a bus driver. But, consider it comes up every year as a number one,  you must consider it has a distinguished place, and of course remarkable things do occur, for example, Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday, which, in my opinion is a rather remarkable event, and so, being in the month of January would make it different or remarkable in at least that way.   So right now, somewhere , in the middle of January,  and  looking ahead and looking back, and just not feeling all that certain about going forward or backward, looking at a world that never seems to change and yet changes as minutes go by, I guess, I just don't know what to think ?
