[Righhht, maybe you can excite me even more by relating this to quantales?? Or maybe expand on fns vs distributions a bit more?]

L: quantal (quasiparticles)

Is this sufficient relation: rel'ns (matrices which are particularly "irrreducible"/"simple" in that they've forgotten their weights to the point where these are either identity or zero) are concrete models of abstract quantales?

EDIT: I'm afraid I'm just learning fns vs distributions (curried fns?) myself.

I wonder how quasiparticles might relate to ideals (nuclei in quantale-speak I believe)? Note that something very much like quasiparticles is how regexen turn exponential searches into polynomial...

  • REDIT(s)

    I ought to get overly emotional (in a bittersweet way) about all this, and i almost did, but Teddy reminded me to stay ataraxic (i.e. keeping his role in formulating key management policies purely in the cortex )

    thank you for that blogpost about MPB (its one small step for fuzzablekind!)

    [as well as the nuclei hint, more tk]

    • thank you for EC ... as to thermidorian reactions, I haven't read tRB yet but it's on the slush pile now (and I have an ice pick —albeit full length— for set dressing while I read).
