>Given the above signs of signaling, Caplan argues in ch. 5–6[1] that the selfish return to education is greater than the social return to education, suggesting that greater educational attainment creates a negative externality (p. 198[1]). In other words, status is zero-sum; skill is not (p. 229[1]).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faddeev–Popov_ghost#Appearance_in_Feynman_diagrams https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faddeev–Popov_ghost#Appearance... are these triangles determinate, or is there a search process involved? (maybe I ought to be looking for "ghost faces" that'd simplify my existing edge & vertex model of computation?)

      Uh (first off) its the german sense of vertex, not the anglo sense lol (Image Search for “3-gluon vertex” to get a language independent sense) On (regrettably still halfass’d) reflection,there are necessary subtleties which your question is stalking but it will take me a few days or weeks to page in

        Aha, I'm an idiot, sorry. (but now I'm reminded —physics envy, mind you— of a "renormalisation" in regex engines. Recall the definition of A*: A* == ϵ | A | A*A* Mathematically, it doesn't make any difference if A also matches epsilon. However, when generating code, if it does, it's very useful to treat the above as asking for: A* == ϵ ⨁ A† ⨁ (A*A*)† where A† recognises only the nondegenerate, "squarefree", portion of A. Otherwise one risks getting stuck recognising ϵ an infinite number of times (leaving squares in is harmless); anyway the presence of the ϵ means that during* recognition of A*, there is one incoming edge but two outgoing.) * speaking in terms of left to right traversal, but we can also go right to left, which (by a folk theorem) means we can also calculate bottom up. I'll have to reflect upon what A* might produce, edgewise, in that last case.

        Mutual envy hits the sweet spot imho.. to me the (median) Informatiker has superior naming/notation/training. Recall that bit with Moitra et al cutting the Gordian knot of thermalization vs entanglement. (That dude couldnt touch-type to save his bacon, pls forgive the (reverent) gossip) Here: how far is this regex from non-associativity. [& this connection is exactly what i was hoping for! I’d hoped the regular in regularity structs would trigger smth, & save us both weeks (of procrastination, in my case)] Was i born decades earlier, i might have wandered into a VC “human capital destruction” job, since i have a roughly equivalent mix of traits..
