   Assuming no magic (that is a big assumption), from rocks to life there are like 20 (or 50) steps. We know the first 2 or 3, and have some guess about the last 2 or 3, so there are only 15 (or 35) to find. This is just a good indicator that

   The origianl article use complex numbers, in particular to get sin and cos from eml: > e^{iφ} = cosφ + i sin φ So x may be a complex number and sqrt(x*x) is a complex number that sometimes is equal to x and sometimes to -x depending on h

   I agree. Here are a few more nice images for the GP: https://www.google.com/search?q=pyrite+cube&tbm=isch Remove "cube" from the reach, to see the not cubic samples too.

    The houses need a better graphic. The cubes looks like glitches. Paths are fences? Anyway, I can't use them as path or as fences. It's difficult to imagine what they are thinking. I imagine something like "The Settlers /

    You mean f'(x) = eml(x,x) + eml(1,eml(eml(1,x)),1) + eml(eml(1, exp(eml(1, 1))),-eml(1, eml(eml(1, x))),1) and I still have to macroexpand a few x-y = eml(eml(1, exp(eml(1, x))), eml(y,1)) but I got really bored

    I agree, as the sibling comment there are two different things that are named "branches". Anyway, to get the principal branch in the microprocessor it's necessary to implement "atan2" that has a lot of special cases
