  • working today to on editing and relaxing. mercury is out of retrograde. but i still feel a pull at mid-day.
    i will make this post public in the hopes that readers will reply with their hypothesis applied. please see below and add your application in the comments section. this poem is an attempt to integrate math into art.

    H0 : µnothing = µcertain = µforever

    null hypothesis:

    nothing is certain
    nothing is forever
    what is forever certain is nothing
    forever is certainly nothing


    null hypothesis applied:

    i was forever once
    i was certain something could be nothing
    i was certain nothing could be something
    certainly forever could be mine

    but nothing is certain in time
    time is forever uncertain
    about the nothing it holds
    over time

    Once

    i was something once
    once being something mattered
    it mattered if i was nothing
    because being something was all that mattered

    Now

    now i am nothing.
    now i am something.
    but being nothing matters not as much
    as when being something mattered
    does it really matter?
    or matter does it not?

    art is true
    art is everlasting
    what is everlasting is truely art
    true art is everlasting

    but everlasting doesn’t last
    because in the end
    we can’t ever see
    either the truth in art
    or the art in truth

    Poetry is uncertain.
    Poetry is dissolving.
    What is dissolved uncertainly is language.
    Dissolution is poetry.

  • these are the riddles i can't play.

  • fine.
    but tomorrow.

  • I didn't know about null hypothesis until today! Thanks for the lesson.

  • this kinda makes my head hurt when i try to think of one! but i'll give a shot later i hope.

  • ok, i tried.
    and i failed.
    math hates me
    even in poetry.

  • im trying but all i end up with is morbidity and absurdity.

  • nothing=certain=forever

    Nothing is sometimes certain.

    Nothing is sometimes uncertain.

    Nothing is not always uncertain.

    Nothing is sometimes forever.

    Nothing is not always forever.

    Duration(the length of which could be finite or infinite) is sometimes a function of nothing.

    Nothing is not always certain or forever.

    P(x|y) only some of the time, here.

    Can not all be true all the time, can not all be true some of the time, some can be true some of the time.

    Qualifiers are not the objects they qualify.

    Ok then.
