" Life is fighting entropy "

<^> " Every extreme is exceeded eventually " <^> . . (the known 1/f noise law )

Generation = Anti-closure
. . . Re : Fermat's n^p under (+) : they are the best possible additive generators mod p^k

. . . . . Each residue mod p^k is the sum of at most four p-th power residues homepg ref[6].pdf

  • Digits (fingers) are more or less significant (Msd & Lsd).
    . . . Says Msd to Lsd: "Hey, I'm much bigger than you",
    . . . . . . . answers Lsd: "Big deal, you copy my structure"
    So what's more important : Size or Structure ?
    - - - On balance : use both, linear Size ('groot is mooi en veel is lekker') and quadratic Structure
    . . . . (= coupling between parts : quality, 'small is beautiful' ). . the first & second dimension.

    <^> Beyond closure modulus m, its successor m+1 (code 11, base m) can be seen as:

    . . . Special/extra/sunday (7). . . Good-luck/ideal/Budda (8)

    . . . Spirit/beyond (50: 101 b7) . . . Magic (1001= 7.11.13)

    <^> For good measure & balance, don't forget predecessor m -1, like C2 = {+/- 1} mod p^k (prime p),
    . . . or : m_k -1 versus m_k +1 in Euclid's proof of the infinitude of primes (m_k = \prod first k primes)

    <^> In many branches of science the mode of communication seems to be pointing out the other's mistakes

  • " Non-Western philosophies orient more toward letting things happen (vs. forcing),
    . . . . acknowledging the interplay of the worldly and the divine, and respecting things unseen ".

    <^> . . If Stuck@Closure (mod ...) use the Carry . . . ;-)
    . . . . In other words: if you feel there's something missing : expand/explore (Euler's trick)

  • From "Chinese Remainder theorem" to (Chinese) "Carry theorem": x^p + y^p == z^p (mod p^k)
    . . . . The carry makes the difference in the FLT inequality
