I'd almost forgotten about Doug's compulsive adolescent snark directed 
at your fascination with vortices.

It makes me wonder what he'd make of the AI phase transition we are in.  
He had (IMO) both progressive and regressive ideas about simulation 
science/tech.

Makes me wonder if there is a mirror/parallel quantity to PV which would 
be Latent Vorticity (LV)

  and is that similar to the torque that people who might roll in their 
grave experience?   Or is it a measure of the rolling they would do if 
they could do rolling?  How much roll would a Doug Roberts roll if Doug 
Roberts could roll (in his grave)?

I won't even suggest someone train up an LLM on all of Doug's posts in 
response to Nick's to create a simulacra to harangue him?
