something to think about

This is not going to be the post I should be writing (this morning I found out that the last post must have been rather cryptic as I didnt manage to get it explained to people who should know at least half of the picture, so at the moment Im writing out a short note giving the dictionary between the Kontsevich-Soibelman approach and my own. I’m still undecided whether this will make it here, or to the arXiv or to my dustbin…).

Instead I want to draw your attention to one of the best posts I’ve read lately. It’s called A man’s character is his fate and it’s from Christine C. Dantas’ blog Christine’s Background Independence and clearly has a history which you may know if you somewhat followed (some) physics blogs this week or which you may reconstruct from this and this from her site and something else.
