I understand that you believe that, but you didn't say why. Is this a foundational belief or is there a deeper reason?

I tried to reply with just a unicode penis but that got flagged immediately, so I'll be more substantial and leave out the actual penis. It appears in Egyptian hieroglyphs, so actually there is a penis included in unicode.

I would argue the difference is heard in music that broadly follows tonal harmony. Sure, the note it self sounds the same, but the difference is context. That context is there regardless of whether it is heard or seen. Edit: just to add s

I beat you to it, but your writing is much better than mine, and you are more comfortable with the ideas than me! It's good that between the two of us we hit both of the "depends on the person" options.

So, I might just be way off, but even in measure 7 I'd use a D flat instead of C sharp. It feels like a diatonic run in the violin with the D flat borrowed from the key of F minor to me (which is only one flat away from the key you

The problem is you don't want to make the score harder to read for someone who does know some theory. Say you're in G# minor, then F double sharp is going to be pretty common. If you notate that as G natural, it will confuse me. R

Even without a music theorist telling you that point 3 is wrong, it just makes the music harder to read. Of course, the reason is what the theorist would give, but it highlights that he isn't really reading music. He's reading not

Morrowind has been one of my all time favorite games for 20 years. It's cool that you don't like it, I don't mind. But, I do not think it's fair to say that the scaling content in Morrowind removes player agency. Having

Sure, I can get rid of the word enum. The symbols in the example are numerals for sure, but you explicitly say they're representing colors. I don't know how to multiply colors. What I'm saying is you merely have labels there,

Haha, maybe so. I'm a mathematician, but based on some other comments I seem to be playing the role of physicist I think? Not sure.

You have a list of labels you've conveniently decided to conflate with numbers. It's fine to use an enum for your data, but no, this data structure is not meant to convey a transformation. You bring up a good point though, if this

I'm not sure I buy this after you just used an example of a 2d array of you're favorite colors just a few minutes ago. Maybe I'm missing something. What kind of linear transformation does that represent, and between what vect

Interesting, you use the word matrix differently than me. The way I use it, a 2d array isn't necessarily a matrix. It's only a matrix if it represents a linear map between vector spaces with respect to chosen bases. Then again, I&

Since we're talking internal experience here, I have no idea what your distinction is between visualization and a delusion of visualization. Fwiw, even though I don't think you'll really believe me given your other comments,
