Which makes it all the more enigmatic.   Simple things like '0', the
identity matrix, 'i', 'e', 'pi',  can have profound implications but by
themselves seem anywhere from trivial to self-evident.    Rather than
pontificate (bombasticate, wax reflectively) on my own
experiences/random-thoughts/free-associations, I'd be interested in what
others here might know of where the Kronecker Delta would be likely
applicable to the types of things many of us (might?) assume Tom is
interested in (application to big data, natural language processing,
etc.  in the context of Journalism?)
