November

Not much has changed since last December. I'm still working on the epilogue to the Markov project. Eventually I had to admit that Details About Operations was going to be way too large, so I split it up, coincidentally into five parts, just like More About Symmetry.

• The first two parts, Details About Operations and From Six Operations, are large, but they were also essentially done back in December.
• The third part, From Various Places, is nice enough, but also reaches a new low: it has two continuations that are both incomplete. Maybe three if you count One Bit of Information.
• The fourth part is one of the incomplete continuations.
• The fifth part is even more incomplete. In fact, it's suppressed.

I also did two other things related to continued fractions.

• I wrote a stand-alone essay, A Nice Construction. It is fun!
• I added a large note to A Nice Correspondence.

Counting the first but not the second, that brings the epilogue essay count to 13 completed out of 21 planned. Ironically, 13/21 looks like the golden mean, that hard-to-approximate number that helped start the Markov project (Two Examples).

13/21 = [0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]

I even did two little things related not to continued fractions but to Lem.

• I wrote an essay, The Electronic Bard.
• I added a small note to Works by Lem, Categorized.

C'est la fin des haricots.
