I went sailing off on all sorts of tangents this evening...When trying to describe Titus's Memory Library I wound up thinking of Ignacio Matte Blanco for the first time in ages, and was suddenly filled with the urge to explore The Unconscious as Infinite Sets again now that I know considerably more about maths. I wondered if perhaps one couldn't map the unconscious onto category theory, think up categories of objects with morphisms, and functors passing from one to the other. The trouble with this was of course that I had no idea what the categories, objects, morphisms, or functors would be. Then I wondered if one couldn't devise a way to make a space of functions operating on the infinite sets of the unconscious into a vector space, and how one could get various groups to act on it then, and realised that a module over the Gaussian integers is only an abelian group equipped with a linear action for the imaginary i, and found I was really not accomplishing any actual writing at all. So I whipped myself ruthlessly back onto track, listened to some live accordion music, and filled some space. I'm hoping things will pick up once Our Heroes get to the furniture store...Everyone loves furniture stores!
