[Bronze Lead-in]
This is how it goes…
You'll get angry at me
And soon you can think
Of something else …

And I'll hear the twanging of the quells,
‘Cause I can't stop the Cootie Cat
'Cause I don't have a blog post in place,
No bright shiny lyrics upon my face,
So I won't go near the marketplace
With what I'm singing lately

‘Cause this is how it goes...
This is how it goes
It's all about shame
And whatever they want
Don't tell 'em your name.

[Chorus]
Because nobody knows
That's how I nearly fell
Trading notes
Down here in Boggart’s Hell
History shows
There's not a chance you’ll tell, but

[Verse 1]
Oh Allio, chat here by the table
Stay here 'til we become stable
And when we go
Hold my line on send-off
Tell me what I already know
That we can't talk about it
No, we can't talk about it

[Chorus]
Because nobody knows
That's how I nearly fell
Trading notes
Down here in Boggart’s Hell
History shows
There's not a chance you’ll tell, but

[Verse 2]
Oh Allio, we're only to “Oh my,” so
It's kinda getting harder to think
I won't let it show
It’s all about denial
But can't denial let me believe?
That we could talk about it
But we can't talk about it

[Chorus]
Because nobody knows
That's how I nearly fell
Trading notes
Down here in Boggart’s Hell
History shows but rarely shows it well
Well, well, well

[Verse 3]
Oh Allio, why if this is something
I'm finding it so hard to dismiss
If I’m what you need
Then only kindness can save us
So come on Allie, give me the fix
And let's just talk about it
We’ve got to talk about it

[Chorus]
Because nobody knows
That's how I nearly fell
Trading notes
Down here in Boggart’s Hell
History shows
Like it was show and tell
So tell me
That's how I nearly fell
Down here in Boggart’s Hell
So Cootie Cat, show and tell
Oh Allio, Allio

Theomathy

Everyone has heard of 'Theology'. Some even study that subject in Graduate Schools of Theology.

But how many people know about Theomathy?

Einstein said, "I want to know God's thoughts."

And then (among other things), he wrote down E = mc².

Just as 'Theology' means "the Word of God," we can define 'Theomathy' as 'the Math of God'.

What's missing in traditional Theology is Theomathy.

Oh, it's hinted at in the poetry, parables, and allegories of Theology. You'll find obscure and arcane references to the concept of functions and prescient insights into the characteristics of chaotic (and chaordic) systems. You'll even find elements of Cybernetics (including the Fundamental Theorem of Feedback Control) in ancient scriptural texts.

But if you haven't studied these topics in modern applied mathematics, you are unlikely to recognize the allusions and metaphors buried in poorly translated passages in these ancient texts.

A great deal of what I've studied in modern Systems Theory is present in the arcane texts of ancient literature.

A good deal of the content of this blog touches on the elements of Theomathy.
