Hopefully I'll get the chance to calculate some geodesics and come up with
an outline on Friday.

+Today i'm skimming through sections on pullbacks and pushforwards without much
+understanding; I think i've gone pretty far down the math path for now and need
+to push through to some physical problems. I can return later if I need to?
+It looks like ultimately it will be a good example of the functional approach,
+but stumbles before strides.

+I like the list of thing which are important enough to be refered to with a
+"the-" prefix in scheme:
+<pre style="margin:20px; border-left: solid grey 3px; background-color:lightgrey
+;padding:5px;width:750px;">
+the-cons-table the-empty-stream the-environment the-environment?
+the-ether the-null-symbol the-real-line
+</pre>
+What components of the entire operating system are unique/important enough to
+be refered to this way? The only "a-" is a-reduce, which while technically
+"a" thing, doesn't refer to just any old reduce. This makes sense.
+
+<p />
+Whew, finally got through the end of the differential geometry memo, at least
+skimming through it. Looks like there's plenty of work still to be done! Of
+course i'm sure a lot of it is in will's calculus additions, i'll have to
+look through that next.
