^^ really important. At some point we have to sit down and, like with the Arts (also always under threat by folks who know the cost of everything and value of nothing), accept that basic inquiry is a cultural good, and finding out new things and sharing those discoveries is Neat, Actually.

I am *really* excited about this paper. It has been a long time coming - first submission was back in *August 2024*. But it's improved a lot since then, and I think it's a really fun piece of work I'm genuinely very proud of. Can't wait for folks to read it.
