A SPHERICAL RELATIONSHIP

Topologically, there are two
Important types of bodies :
Orifices open or orifices closed.
That was a joke.

Lemma. The open set does not
Know its limits. A closed set does.
It falls apart when it can't contain them.

Like any worthwhile problem,
There are multiple stable solutions.
With just a little algebra, you'll see
If you're minimizing regret
Or maximizing utility, you'll
Take me for everything I have.

The curious student may wonder
About cooperation, but there's
No known solution in closed form.
We'd have to resort to simulation.
A different department.

Let f be a map from there to here
Linearize its dynamics.
Do you see the instability?
How my x feeds your dy/dt?
My density feeds your growth.
Until there are so few left
That you start to starve.

THE SCIENTIST

What is objectivity to the object?

The positivist stance : reality exists
And I own it. The post-positivist :
I'm only pretty sure, but still spent
Millions on my microscope.

With a strong enough objective,
Matter collapses into gaps.
Everything, a hole begging to be
Stuffed with your knowing

A pelt for your shelf.
