1. the terms - value , money ,and cur=ency- need definition. separate and apart from an intrinsic worth to an in=ividual , the hungry one . or the Indian tooth manufacturer,=C2 either can actually be consumed or merely stand a= a store of value or medium of exchange. a piece of pape= representing either is the familiar form of money, . a dollar bill.=. as you know the US version used to say the convertible=into something. ( gold silver ) . now it says trust me. its wo=th one dollar. . the trading of dollars is well known. =C2 I wondered whether sentences ( concepts with=ut being necessarily written on paper. could be , looked at the same=way. some having intrinsic value and others being used a= exchange. I see no reason why not, does that set up an =conomics of sentences /concepts. .

## 2 =AO Of course I would love to talk to your friend

3. W=th nothing more meaningful than sharing a new tasty food with you that I h=ve enjoyed.' think you might enjoy the taste of a new math.

I rea= your attached paper. I would suggest that the system of analysis su=fers from the use of early twentieth century reasoning ,=ie references =o Merge. minimal computation ( the set notation can be misleading =r modules. I think a system and notation that might, just might, he=p and add interesting insights is -category theory. fres=er, more useful then either the former popular set theory or group t=eory of the 20th century . where for example mc would be contain=d in a larger category. ( your Merge would fall into a subcategory o= operations that were a combination of associative , transitive oper=tions in a space etc . One then looks at the spaces of probabilitie= and realizes that some are just much more probable than others . =AO nothing more. these probabilities generate shapes only as = result of their statistical ensembles. - the age old st=dy of soap bubbles suffered from the same handicap. . the shap=s were analyzed by attempting to follow the mc rule. ie containing the most volume for=the least area. ( a broader category ) now i would propose =AO that the shape merely represents its most probable shape- nothing=more. given the statistical space. for ex, things on the=membrane , free to move but the shape not changing. I unders=and that language is not an input output system like vision.=C2 Shapes are not input /output devices but have very strong prop=rties , relationships etc. there are mappings onto those=spaces. the old version of functions expanded ei using more than =AO only mathematical terms. mappings are not required to be linear.=C2 ie grammatical sentences would be represented as coheren= shapes. its very beautiful math.

Had dinner with wo=dy and he wanted to know if valeria had gotten the book he suggested =as in hindsight thought that he should have sent her a copy and not merely=forwarded the title. my side still hurts from laughing for the=past 2 hours.

there is gold in the refrigerator. there=is food in the refriegerator.. , 1. =oes either the physical gold or food have more intrinsic value.? =AO. depends . is the value the same to both owner and , consumer.? =epends, need , time frame ? if so how does one calculate it. what i= there is more than two players. 2 exchangability =AO ( first order derivative ) not the thing itself but what one =AO can do with it. - it depends 3. the piece of pape or hunk of use=ess metal that "states" there is gold in the fridg ? is =hat money. ?you get the idea does there have to be actual gol= in the fridge for it to be accepeted by others of something of &quo=;value". ( depends on trust and belief system ). yesterdays que=tion - If the sentence " there is gold in the fridge " is either spo=en or written . does that change its value? . buyer, seller, t=ust ,belief system ?
