I have to confess to not having the slightest inkling what you're saying here. I did briefly look at Stone duality on Wikipedia, but it didn't help much. I assume that you're interested in some duality between an algebra (perhaps one of Bruno's hypostases, if they're an algebra) and a topological space that could stand in for physical reality, but beyond that I'm totally lost :). -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Professor of Mathematics hpco...@hpcoders.com.au University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
