Paradigm Shift Knuckle Sandwich

When I was a child I was a very good mathematician. I was also good at drawing. I remember thinking when I was 9 yrs old something to the effect that a mathematicians life was probably too socially isolated & not much fun & I decided that therefore it might be better for me to be an artist. In early 1980 I published my 1st cassette compilation of my audio work & called it Usic - 1 as a take-off of Music - 1 records. By 1983 this turned into Usic &/or Usicality - √-1 for a 9 hr radio show of my sounds broadcast on WJHU by my friend Ron Cummings. In 1995 I released a record album entitled Usic - √-1 = A Plethora of No-Longer Neglected Audio/Conceptual Obstacle Courses. All of these were somewhat informed by the notion that if something can be imagined then it can be applied. Such were the seeds of what I now call P.N.T. (Perverse Number Theory). This bk is the result of my reading about mathematical concepts that I thought were pardigm-shifting & then reimagining them to suit my own P.N.T. purposes. Its not intended to be accepted by mathematicians. Its potential readership is so obscure that Im not sure that Ill ever even meet anyone who might appreciate the bks strangeness. So be it. Nonetheless I think its an important bk for thinking outside-the-box for outlaw-thinking-outside-the-box.- authors note by tENTATIVELY a cONVENIENCE - February 17 2017
