Work in progress (this draws from other posts). Hello Claude - In 1939, graduate student Claude Shannon would describe himself as working "off and on" on analysis of fundamental properties of systems for the transmission of intelligence - that, in a note to his teacher, Vannevar Bush of M.I.T.  At the school in a basement, Shannon had helped run Bush's general-purpose Differential Analyzer, an acme of sorts in the evolution of the mechanical analog computer. His master's thesis was on symbolic analysis of switching circuits. Somewhere along the way he latched on to the germ of something that was intrinsic to both analog and what came to be digital communication. Shannon held dual undergraduate degrees in electrical engineering and mathematics from the University of Michigan. It was probably a rare happenstance that there he'd studied the algebra of George Boole, which may have given him a unique view toward what would become digital logic after the transis...

Shown here is Sharp Azteca, winner of the 2017 Cigar Mile. It brought to mind the original. I saw people's reaction to Cigar. And I share an example. When you entered Curtin's Roadside Tavern on Tremont St in Mission Hill in Boston, back in the very late 20th Century, and you saddled up to order your beer by the tap, you would see a framed poster on the wall that featured - replicated in stride, like a Muybridge albumen - running forever : Cigar! And, in the Boston intonation: "Ci -gaah!" Have tried to pull together some thoughts on horse racing and prediction of late . This is on a sister site called Epitomime, or Epitome .
