That’s interesting, Jon,
I completely failed to put 2 and 2 together to realize that Starbird is a name
I know from UT days, though I had never met him. I guess because I was not a
math major during the time I was there, I had only very few contacts in the
math department, and never happened t
In another thread, EricS mentions the book "Topology through inquiry" by
Michael Starbird. I had Dr. Starbird for honors discrete mathematics, which
was one of those Moore-method styled classes and my first decent
introduction to writing proofs. What was funny is that it was my favorite
class at UT
Ha! I did so bad in my undergrad Topology course, the prof took me (and a
handful of others) aside and said: "I want to fail all of you. But I don't want
to disrupt your degree plans. What grade do you need in order to maintain your
path?"
Everyone else answered with "A" or "B". Me, being the i
I took a course at Berkeley that covered most of this set theory as it was
understood as of 1965, including independence of the continuum hypothesis
and ZFC. I decided to just take CH on faith. I believe that course
influenced me more than any other even though I got a C--the only one I got

No, thanks very much for the transcript. Time as updating is an old concept.
So, it's not clear to me that they're talking about anything new *there*. But
they sound a bit wrong to me in decoupling the updating from the *subgraph*
that gets updated as well as any kind of causal cascade of updati
Why am I just now hearing about this? Jeez. I rely on y'all to keep me up to
