Anyways.. UEL, despite not being a terrific place for me to go for my PhD interests in Computer Science or Software Engineering (because they are generally heavily into [Creative] Arts, Architecture & Psychology programmes from what I've gleaned thus far), it's still one of interesting schools in London or rather the UK that's of note to me, and which has caught my interests in the past!

If anyone from UEL is passing by, or visiting us here on Blackboard Adventures, we definitely love you
👋💚 And think we'll possibly bump into each other in the future if all goes well 🤭

Meanwhile, so sad concerning the death of Pope Francis. Yet another pope dead in my lifetime. God help us All. 🙏😔

## Quick JWL Mini-Lecture: About The Eye as its Own Mini-Computer!

It hits me as rather not just miraculous, but very breathtaking, that the eye itself does some actual computations independently of the brain!

Like, when light arrives in the eye (as photons), it doesn't go as photons to the visual cortex (in the brain) for our brains to detect or process images we've seen via the eye!

The eye itself does some preprocessing[1] of light information about what is seen, and then only sends the processed information (as chemically encoded electrical signals[2]) to the brain; somehow, meaning the eye has a little brain/processor of itself!

The 👀👁️ Eye computes;

✓ Edge & Contrast Detection [3]
✓ Color Processing [2]
✓ Motion Detection [4]
✓ Data Compression [3]

I mean.. OMG!
Just an Eye!! 👀
Before the 🧠 Brian ever gets involved!! Isn't this such a fun fact?

Once the signals reach the visual cortex in the brain, that's when they undergo higher-level processing, including object recognition, depth perception, and spatial awareness[5].

Your Exercise: How many such mini-computers does the (human) body have in it independent of the main, central Main Computer (aka. Brain)?

Meanwhile, I'm glad I'm not the only mathematician or scientist that enjoys taking walks... (Instead of driving... And lately, even cycling)

Here's one of my role models, a 2020 Physics Nobel Prize Laureate, Prof. Roger Penrose, Oxford University, talking about his obsession with taking distinct random walks... 🚶‍♂️🚶👣

🙏🏻😂 Little bits of useful craziness perhaps 👆🏼😆 But, those queer behaviours do bear some good results actually... But also, sometimes he's mad I trust.. reminds me of the legendary Game Theorist, Prof. John Nash (of *Beautiful Mind* in case you watched that movie).

So, people, netizens... Don't be afraid to continue walking. Tis such a very productive habit. Leaders though, doesn't mean you shouldn't work on better roads or improve public transport just because a few of us prefer walking!

PAPER TITLE: Concerning A Special Summation That Preserves The Base-10 Orthogonal Symbol Set Identity In Both Addends And The Sum

ABSTRACT:
While working on another paper (yet to be published) on the matter of random number generators and some number theoretic ideas, the author has identified a very queer, but interesting summation operation involving two special pure numbers that produce another interesting pure number, with the three numbers having the special property that they all preserve the orthogonal symbol set identity of base-10 and $\psi_{10}$. This paper formally presents this interesting observation and the accompanying results for the first time, and explains how it was arrived at --- how it can be reproduced, as well as why it might be important and especially unique and worthy or further exploration.

ABOUT PAPER: Apart from furthering (with 4 new theorems and 9 new definitions) the mathematical ideas concerning symbol sets for numbers in any base that were first put forward in the author's GTNC paper from 2020, this paper presents some new practical methods of generating special random numbers with the property that they preserve the base-10 o-SSI.
