paean to modernity
reassure without informing,
adorn without inhabiting,
gild the lily without gold foil,
all in a day's modern toil.
sentimental narratives
are the balm
of the poorly informed:
a swaying palm
casting scant shade
over the dried up oasis
formerly known
as the font of knowledge.

Implication of my first three RDT papers for fusion research:
If effective dimensionality decreases at high density, then fusion confinement improves in ways standard 3-D models don’t capture.
Density → dimensionality → confinement → fusion.
A new tunable variable.
