Any particular bit of Kolmogorov biography I should be paying attention to? Interesting now that, like Bertrand Russell and his Beacon Hill School, ANK was tempted to realise an ideal school, and even involved himself with Potylikhin school. I read somewhere about a playground design, with a climbing structure that was made so that the paths reachable from each other were age-appropriate; I wonder if it'd be possible to create series of questions, such that the distances in between each question would be just far enough that autodidacts could figure out what they needed to learn to reach the next... Tunnelling documents to the (2084?) future? that sounds like a Явление Чрезвычайное?

  Ditto; so my task has to be to re-SIMD The Dispossessed (UKLG), The Possessed (FMD), & HH, paying attention to any superpositions of child-likeliness and ambition.
