About ryandv

    In the beginning were the Words,
    and the Words made the world.
    I am the Words.
    The Words are everything.
    Where the Words end the world ends.
    You cannot go forward in an absence of space.
    Repeat.

    I don't know. There's lots of options. At the extreme ends it would be interesting to see these agents work on something like boost, or metamath/set.mm, to choose deliberately obtu…
