I think I’m focused on this because I can “see” intuitively that this set of properties I designed would lead to an intersection that is a single element but I didn’t think to show explicitly how or why. Perhaps it is not obvious and needs more rigor.
going to get some research done rn, then I'll finish the proof of the linked cluster theorem in the evening.
Working on the linked cluster theorem thread now but I am also trying to process this happened to me. My publisher paid for me to come to France as a guest at a literature festival
You have to understand, my daily life is isolated in a PhD student office. This was an atypical thing to happen to me!
Always aim to become really good at what you do. Never aim for an award. Maybe the latter will arrive and maybe it won’t, but if your personal fulfillment comes from simply leveling up your skills, it won’t matter.
Just realized my numbering for the properties goes 1 2 3 4 6 7 too lmao pls ignore that.
Here are some architecture pics of a really cool cathedral with a gorgeous view, said view, and a street in Lyon
I should have taken food pics too but I was too hungry each time and forgot.
im still far away from the level I want to reach
This was prob a messy proof. I think it is correct but maybe I should show explicitly why it would lead to a single-value intersection of the descending intervals. Or show that such a process for constructing descending intervals leads to one that is valid? Is that overthinking what I need to show?
