Well, there's the fundamental theorem of arithmetic, that there is exactly one composition of prime factors for every natural number (excluding ordering). https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_theorem_of_arithmeti

Thanks for your guidance! I now see they're (now-obviously!) things like TCP and http. I had missed their informal definition: > Here we use the term protocol to denote a specification of the interaction patterns between differen

What exactly is a "protocol"? I skimmed the pdf for a definition, but it seems to only give examples, then jump directly to defining compositions.

Maybe I'm unneccesarily inferring parentheses from the quotation marks, like: but they (tell don't show, show don't tell). It reads differently without them.

My grammatical issue is not the swapping itself, but the introduction of "but they" (indicating a problem with what the author has done) being applied to the swapping. That makes sense for the first part, tell not show, but not f

Parentheses give a sensible parse for me (or nested further): describe people and events from a distance instead of (dramatizing them, developing scenes in which the reader discovers what kind of people they are) instead of being told.

The two instances of "instead of" have opposing senses. The grammar can't be interpreted without the semantics. Anyway, it seems other people find this OK, which is interesting to me. Below is the context in TFA, and the quot

Thanks, I think you're right. It seems weird to have a parallel structure where the roles are swapped - but Toni Morrison would know better than me! Maybe it works better in the original context. To see the context, I think I'd h

The quote is introduced with "but", and the first part is the other way around ("...distance instead of dramatizing...").

Similar: the more uncertainty, the further I break it down. This has been amazingly accurate for time estimates - in aggregate... Individually, they are wildly inaccurate. So... they are probability estimates. Over many events, they even

Next, I started to increase the pricing; 250€ became 495€, then 695€ and 795€, and finally 895€. To my surprise, it did not mean getting fewer customers. I guess any sub-$1k amount for businesses is peanuts, so the only thing these pri
