Eric sed:

I make a pact with you, Stu Kaufmann

Marcus sed:

Now if you could _only_ extend this into a poem, it could be etched on rock
along a hiking trail!  Perhaps at the SFI Tesuque estate?

Like the classic, anonymously carved E=MC^2 on the rock face of Los Alamos Canyon?

Following the sentiments of Pound's Ode to Whitman but the stylistic elements of Trurl's electronic bard brought to us by way of Lem's Cyberiad... Love and Tensor Algebra perhaps?

... It is you who broke the new wood
now is a time for carving ...
    -Pound
... Cancel me not — for what then shall remain?
Abscissas some mantissas, modules, modes,
A root or two, a torus and a node:
The inverse of my verse, a null domain...
    -Lem

Trurl the Constructor of course.

- Steve
