+ + + +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. + +

+To define: Cartan, Christoffel, + +

+I like the list of thing which are important enough to be refered to with a +"the-" prefix in scheme: +

+the-cons-table    the-empty-stream  the-environment   the-environment?
+the-ether         the-null-symbol   the-real-line   
+
+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. + +

+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. +
