Instead of working on Slice & Dice draft with Stefan

anti-dote, to help you recover from the Xmass drivel:
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Soophie Nun Squad
Gaju
Waxahatchee - Sister Saint
Sara Cilantro (has vanished since 2010)
I Monster
Why this despair? Let us summarize where we are on the Dreams of Grand Scheme timeline:
My student's thesis topic was to use periodic orbits to describe turbulence. Instead, he styled himself a child of two famous theorists, is baffled that his paper with us is so much cited, made no progress on turbulence. Freddy, Vaktang, Yuheng and Evangelos finally did the essential preliminary steps, on a 1-dimensional model of a turbulent flame front. Jonathan was the first, with fellow Zappatista John, to really work on fluid turbulence. I still have to find someone willing to understand ChaosBook.org, so that we can quotient symmetries, slice translations, cut Poincare sections and finally recycle fluid turbulence.
A warm up to applying the Grand Scheme to Yang-Mills and general relativity.
