Mailed to the Dean of Mathematics, no note and no back address, they come once a week or so. A half-dozen photocopied pages of school-ruled paper, crabbed in all caps, jam-packed with mathematical symbols, diagrams, arrows. Superstrings are mentioned. Planck's constant. Topology. But if you read it....
we start in flat land then we grow, flat horizontal or up, vertical. and man stood on two feet. two, pi. do symbols lie? yes & no. they lie on the surface; interpretation, trust me! (in god we trust satan pays chash) he was born a liar and a thief, of course (you have made your bed, lie in it don't lie to me) if god does not exist; or one does not exist then "0"; zero, darkness (omniniscience) does not exist. how to convice the children. let's play boys against girls, girls do not know the rules, boys do not know the rules, it is now girls turn, since boys had theirs, you said you could do better girls, now prove it. but remember "no rules" is a rule, lemma one. no mind reading. sailors tie knots (topography) others crochet, any difference?
If this were a story it would not end well.
Have you been reading my mental health textbook again? Very good description of the disordered thoughts of a schizophrenic. Now you just need to add the paranoia, or a delusion, or auditory hallucinations....
Huh?
Don't boggle at me, I just transcribed it.
Striking, and strange, and little frightening. (I agree with Therese: disordered in a clincal sense, disordered thought form, perhaps?)
But the connections and leaps and language bear so much resemblence to the bones of a poem or story, that's what interests me.
I see what you mean about the strange appeal of the stuff, but I sure hope somebody with all that in his head isn't wandering around the math and computer building.
