Percival:
Arithmetical properties of strongly chaotic motion ?
TIL Scwhinger was on the Bonaparte counter-clockual programme...
Any chance you could sketch to me why SM works with SR but not GR? Curvature?
[squinting hard enough, is the Wick Theorem related to how algebraically, given pairs (2-things, and hence rel'ns) one automatically gets all finite n-things?]
[another squint: separated at birth: space-ordered vs normal-ordered, and all the sign gymnastics* in computer graphics geometry, where re-ordering matters and vertices are connected by digons of two half-edges?]
is there anything related to the notion that one might have a bunch of geodesic paths connecting events, but that we might apply creation and annihilation to these as well, so fewer geodesics would lead to positive curvatures and more to negative?
* what I like about my algebraic CS model is that I often skim systems papers, and think, "oh, this is just exploiting this particular instance of distributivity..."
