Untangling untanglables.

By Andrew|A|-∞<A<+∞

I conjecture (i.) a stochastic “mechanical algorithm” that untangles untanglable strings in finite iterations, (ii.) a class of heuristics that reliably reduce stochasticity and increase efficiency of this algorithm, and furthermore (iii.) a subclass of such heuristics that renders the algorithm superior in average- and worst-case time-complexity to any algorithm that must analyze a topological […]

I metawrite for the utility of metawriting.

By Andrew|A|-∞<A<+∞

I write for the utility of writing.  These are, broadly, (i.) the utility of the present, and (ii.) the utility of the future.  These are, refined, (i.a.) the utility of transcribing thoughts and feelings which in large numbers become too cumbersome to persist in my mind, like the utility of paging memory (in computing), (i.b.)
