Another quick thought on JEER: if he'd only gone with "Sandworm" he could've been the God-Emperor of Dune?

The sea is still rising around the imp; that kernel has yet to be rubbed away... Will work harder on it, when I'm not yakking on HN :)

I did try a couple of LLMs but although they were useful in figuring out how to organise a writeup, they were just glazing when it came to developing the theory. A friend's recommendation of a topology book has actually been far more directly useful.

If we view the "inner party" as being Russell's farmer (instead of his chicken, to whom "more refined views as to the uniformity of nature would have been useful"), then, although the capital accrues via Matthew Effect, at least all residents can count on food, shelter, health care, and decent access to education. Our proles would be the cross-border workers, who sleep in a different country (and count on their unemployment stats during recessions) — and possibly EU people here on the freedom of movement agreement? (I know little about this agreement; it came about after I got here)
