The title of this work refers to an old annotation that medieval cartographers made upon unexplored territories "Here be dragons" and also refers to one of my own works where … Continue reading Here be Rats …
Cryptomathics: the complexity of simplicity.

While Kelly in … Continue reading The Inevitable Future
