STRANGE_EQUATIONS

                                     June 15, 2004

There are about a thousand relations that
can be generated from a deck of 46 cards,
presuming that we exclude reflexive
statements (A=A), and pretend that that
they're commutative.

   But really they're not:
   The english "is" is not
   the same as the
   mathematical "=".          "A is B" is
                              not identical
If we don't                   to "B is A"
exclude converse
statements, then                   Compare:
there are about
two thousand.                        Darkness is Love

                                     Love is Darkness
