I'm not "crazy", not at all.
Math is supposed to be useful.
There's a long track record that
it can be.
I studied math hoping it would
be useful, and I believe that
it is for my project.
Doing some applied math might
seem unusual, but it's not
"crazy". The unusual part
indicates an opportunity.
A "name"?
For my work so far, I've not
needed a static IP address so
have not paid extra for one from
my ISP. So neither do I have
a domain name yet.
I won't get a static IP address
or a domain name until just
before I go live, ASAP.
My startup is for Internet
search, discovery, recommendation,
curation, notification, and subscription
for safe for work Internet content
where keywords/phrases work at best
poorly.
My project might become a big thing.
The user interface is just a
simple HTTP, HTML, CSS Web site,
also simple enough for
smart phones.
So, my software takes in data,
manipulates it, and sends
the user the results. The
crucial core of the manipulations
is from some math I derived
based on some advanced prerequisites
I got mostly in grad school.
Right, the users will see the
results but not be aware of
any of the math. What the
user does with the Web site
and the results they get back
will seem intuitively reasonable
and maybe even natural, but
actually doing the data
manipulations
in a way with good promise
of good results is a
challenge, one that I
addressed mathematically.
The theorems give good evidence
that with some good data the
results for the users will be good.
Given what I'm betting on this
project, I want the good evidence,
up front, long before TIFO results,
traction, etc.
My main use of italics is a common
one, mark a word as being
used in a sense maybe not the
same as in a literal dictionary
definition and, thus,
needing some caution, reinterpretation,
and/or apology.
