Beautiful song… I start to see where the … uh … tradition of responding to rejection with physical selfdestruction in that part of the world comes from… As for Clapton, something tells me that wouldnt make a good snowclone :)

  Note that Yaghmaei exercised the Kolmogorov Option and, unlike Ramesh, stayed in the IRI after the revolution. For Clapton snowclones, I enjoyed a comment on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7jV7IkHdqk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7jV7IkHdqk : > Eryczek wrote this when he was secretly in love with Patrycja; at that time Patrycja was the girlfriend of the famous Jurek Harrison! (if you have time, while we're here there's a great yin/yang thing going on between https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImOYx9j0kIA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImOYx9j0kIA , a soft Dio interpretation, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo3pfnldlD0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zo3pfnldlD0 , a hard Andersson, Fältskog, Lyngstad, and Ulvaeus interpretation)

    Whenceforth came the margin on which K,Y thrived :)

      hmm... AK and margin lead me to Vereshchagin and Vitanyi, Kolmogorov’s Structure Functions and Model Selection (ca. 2002) — might this be something you have opinions on, or should I ask Hutter instead? https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0204037 https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0204037 (the description in the abstract of the structure function sounds suspiciously like a galois connection)

        You may not agree that facts are better than opinions, but here is one: Aaronson-Carroll’s paper on sophistication, downstream of your link, is now 10 years’ in the making.. If you manage to access Hutter, let me know if I already know your public key ;)

        They might have discovered that taykh-optimizing the sisyphean is itself sisyphean..

        taykh? (Q. what do you call a strawberry from Bretagne? A. Une freizh) Right now I'm going down the rabbit hole of expander graphs (aha, these also have a spectral gap?), but soon I shall have some bandwidth for coarse-graining coffee automata. (I doubt you have my public key, but I fear that were you to take the inference closure of our convos and some gumshoe work, you could easily have 33 bits worth of identity) Lagniappe: https://blogs.ethz.ch/kowalski/zazie-au-pot-de-these/ https://blogs.ethz.ch/kowalski/zazie-au-pot-de-these/ (I hope Zazie's ultimate commentary has not given her uncle a complex)

        Taykh = river, as in Yez 47,12/nathaniel silber (shtetl = … ) Tonton = pork (osaka slang) So, an algebraic exercise for me, a geometric one for you, and a quantum for both?
