Can you feed LaTeX to a program and have it spit out the equation as code?
Does LaTeX contain all the information needed to execute the formula or is it mainly a graphical representation?

What does it mean to be trans if there is no wall between genders to cross?
I mean you're still you, but you didn't have to go anywhere to get there. You'll be sessile, not trans.

Animal cruelty laws are another precedent for non-human representation.
How do you defend, or even detect, a river's self-determination? Maybe copy from child protection laws where the person is incapable of such?

I'm starting to think of the Constitution as more of a contract.
'We the government will respect your rights, and you the people will respect our laws.'
When the government defaults on the contract, their laws are null and void.
After that, any further violence from them is just crime and does not merit compliance.

It's like the Roman concrete mystery. It took us 2,000 years to re-learn to use saltwater. All their recipes just assumed we'd know.

They're shits, but they also love to say the word 'war' out loud.
Denying it is more of a legal CYA because only Congress can declare war.
If not for that the Warfighters and Secretary of War in the Department of War would burst out singing 'War War War' in the streets.

Someone once said the Moore's law of software is that the number of CPU instructions it takes to add two numbers doubles every two years.

Do you think these ants would be intelligent individually, or only as a collective?

I once tried to work out a 'Spanish negatives' multiplication system, where EG:
-2 * -3 = -6
so square_root(-9) = -3 and so on.
It's all fun and games until you multiply negatives times positives and try to come out with symmetrical answers.
But it does make one wonder if our language had been different, maybe our math would have been too.

I'm thinking 5 dimensions. 10 4D 'faces'.

Even in person, your records all go into a computer, which WILL be leaked some way, legally or illegally.
I never tell therapists anything private anymore. Generally avoid them where possible. Bad idea? Yes, but few other choices.

I read somewhere that very early life, long before the Cambrian explosion, was more sloppy in how it translated DNA to phenotypes.
If true, this would mean more of a disconnect between genetics and who wins at natural selection. So 'tightening up' DNA interpretation would speed up advantageous genetic change.
Evolution itself does seem to evolve. And don't get me started about sex!

Love the glazing patterns. Have to wonder what is the process. Carefully painted or some kind of natural crystal/chemical reaction?
