s/virtu/epsilon of licentiousness/ ?
EDIT: not "viti"
Going to flip through your recommendations (at least) with an eye (3rd) towards ergodicity (or even Hurwitz spaces)
EDIT: don't worry too much about Galois -- you make me wonder if I had not read his letters (esp the fine print in his last testament) too carelessly.
- 082349872349872 2y agoFor every epsilon of licentiousness, there exists a delta of venus, such that...? (as an algebraist, it seems analysts spend an awful lot of time chasing tails!) I have been brought up in a culture where seduction follows a sequence ("running the bases"); are there cultures where that does not suffice, and seduction requires more sophistication: a net*, say, or even a filter? * in line with the genre fiction cover kind of net, someone once won a competition we had at uni for "best line to get a member of the appropriate sex into your room" with 75 pound test, eg https://fr.aliexpress.com/i/839412765.html https://fr.aliexpress.com/i/839412765.html Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK9nx7e9IGM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nK9nx7e9IGM (Scholes, Meriwether, and Merton would've done well to listen more to this one?)
- vinnyvichy 2y agoThe epsilon of tail-chasing beats the delta of (phallic) symbol pushing! Re: uni- Cantabrigian? Yes, for "better" seduction technik, you should restrict your search to uni culture.
- 082349872349872 2y agoNo, although I do have a fair amount of shelf space devoted to a CS book series (published by that breakaway technical college somewhere in the fens) all of which are in shades of what I would've called green, but a cantab colleague informed me was in fact blue. If either of us had had any irish gaelic, maybe we would've agreed upon glas? see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue–green_distinction_in_language#Celtic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue–green_distinction_in_lang...
- vinnyvichy 2y agoNo iG but likewise my uni can be said to have Brythonic roots. (As opposed to merely Anglo-Saxon)

- vinnyvichy 2y agoNo, I was referring to that one female Pilgrim whose descendant founded my uni. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briggs_(surname)#:~:text=Briggs%20is%20a%20Northern%20English,ancient%20Brythonic%20kingdom%20of%20Brigantia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briggs_(surname)#:~:text=Brigg....
- vinnyvichy 2y agoTo make it more equitable, my uni was the ancestor of SBF's alma mater (bureaucratically as well as vexillarily). If that's too much travail, consider that its location is the namesake of an oikos that perpetually draws in a certain Homeric hero.
- 082349872349872 2y agoOne hint too many! I have been taught that "it's ${LOCATION}ing" is the english equivalent of « il pleuvine », and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40244602 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40244602 ought to have billions and billions of connections. (none of which involve Leontine S) Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JhdMPkA0YM&t=120s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JhdMPkA0YM&t=120s (as for me, one of my friends is on the faculty, studying among other things quiver varieties, which brings us full circle back to Penelope, who set up the competition with Odysseus' bow. If it were an asian recurve bow, it makes sense that the suitors might've tried to string it backwards, and if it were a horseback bow, the draw weight for its size might easily have been such that only someone who knew the foot trick for stringing would've managed)
