[FRIAM] This makes me think of this list...

"Degenerate constructs like a 1 group symmetry feel, to me, like
metaphysical commitments..."

Glen,

In an attempt to understand Eric's response to me, I got to reading this
group-theory dense paper reasoning with kernels and strata about
spontaneous symmetry breaking[1]. It got me understanding your skepticism
toward the trivial group as an instance of the no-hiding theorem. Can
anyone ever really crumple up a napkin to the point that it becomes
different in kind? I am in San Diego staring at the ocean, watching it
tirelessly produce and destroy novelty all along the shore.
