Subject: [BoundaryPoint] A Christmas gift for Aletheiak
Christmas - the feast of love. All-encompassing.
Aletheiak was the most fervent contributor this year. Furious. He deserves
our Christmas gift.
But what?
A tripoint, of course!
But there is a dilemma: As we have learned in geometry, a point remains a
point, even in its trifoldedness. A point is inherently a nullity. How can
we make a less pointless gift to Aletheiak? Something meaningful?
Maybe if we just concede that we sometimes, rarely enough, have enjoyed his
elaborations, even if often the time was not worth reading, and the online
fees due to pull in his coiled thoughts surpassed our budgets. At last,
Aletheiak had been talking to himself, multi-dimensionally.
I'm sure you all join me in wishing Aletheiak the breakthrough to the real
point in life: Why are we on this Earth? Pointless tumbling?
