The French group theory mathematician,Galois and Alexander Hamilton met the same fate. I just read some news about awards by the Abel foundation. Abelian groups are commutative and known as rings. This picture is of something I saw as compensating when my ister and I found it outside the USAF museum in dayton three years ago. I just found my proof copies of the prints she gave me a ways back. I have often had folks say you mean Douglas gave you a job? Or What exactly do you do? or What are you going to do on this project yourself as your contribution? I suppose there is a karma that led me to work through grouping of hospitals and Air Ports of Entry (APOE) to the simple twin grouping of aerial fighter duels. This might also be what led me to Australia where grouping and formations is one of their accomplishments. I'm referring to moving or dynamic groups in an intuitive mathematical sense. I have most recently concluded that the limit of my intelligence is characterised by a lack of practical jokes. Folks academically wiser than I are practical jokers. They also try to snuff out responses to their practical jokes. Yesterday I began to think of a concept of an intellectual brownfield where the innovation had all been milked out of a concept and this morning I went further to claim something a colleague once expressed as "my concept of memory is that it gets full and you have to empty it so more can be added." This would be a sort of third world approach of transferring the intellectual property to primitive and empty intellectual spaces in the wiser groups minds. I took a different trip through memory. I started with non-mathematical numbers like part numbers, addresses, and specification numbers, policy numbers and phone numbers. Then I looked at the associations conveyed. After that I did alphabets. More recently I have been doing pictures. That's me in the one image with the bird that grew out of my first summer at Douglas in 1965.
