:labrys-45-sickle: 
a huge rat just scurried up and looked at me
expression of frustration about people who touch other while sleeping next to each other
Category Mech for mechanisms, and Incen for incentive-compatible mechanisms
Is this anything? (I don't know category theory)
See https://niplav.site/fullindex for a sample of the stuff I'm interested in
I'm going to be in the PRC autumn 2025, anyone can (self-)recommend people to meet up with?
(or places to visit, but I'm less interested in places)

Algebraic derivatives living over vector spaces with tensor product would probably be the easiest thing to figure out, surely some commutative algebraists would care about such a thing

I feel like a lot of mathematicians would be interested in the fact that we know how to generalise the chain rule to non-cartesian settings using optics, if only we had examples that they'd be interested in. The first thing I can think of is trying to get a chain rule for the derivative of a function that's a stochastic process, where the value of the function and its derivative are probabilistically correlated
@Paradox oh, I meant a=>b as "a implies b"
@Paradox at least it wasn't a dream about going to the toilet
@Paradox I think prophetic dreams mught actually be preferable
More interesting life
@Paradox @cosmiccitizen posted about causation in Aristotle, which reminded me of formal causation
Under that view, a=>b and a together *cause* b, which is funny
Logical axioms form the root of a deductive "net" or directed acyclic graph, which is deductive
Causal deductive DAG
@Paradox a. fucking. men.
I'm learning so much more on botched dates than smooth ones
@arcana war is not about glory, it's about winning
And by Gnon would the current US army wipe the floor with these other armies
@cosmiccitizen I'm just worried I'm not developing the virtue of patience
(in this case impatience paid off, but it's not character-building)
