working papers
The iPSA site receives and posts notes, sketches, first drafts, and works–in–progress of all kinds, with the implicit invitation for comments. Each working paper is an announcement of intent; a commitment to work in progress as an existential condition (the project is never complete). As comrades of schMOOZ discourse, our support for each other is shown by putting works–in– progress into the public domain Submit materials with a clearly visible email address so that readers can get in touch. This log will show latest submissions first.

- Illustrations for session 12 As many of us have found, the Gallagher texts sometimes (almost always) misrepresent the graphics of the French transcripts or, worse, leave out graphic materials entirely. In Session 12 of Seminar XIV, there are missing lines and diagrams, which I decided to add. For a speculative expansion of the quadrilateral Euler circles (below), follow this link. A text of the narrative here.
