Footnote
The title refers to the Cartesian Plane, from whence
the mysteries of  and originate.

All that is binary–or yin/yang–is a reflection
of  Rene Descartes' greatest accomplishment.

The 17th Century genius is known for many things
but the co-ordinate geometry of the Cartesian Plane
is his greatest creation.

And I have an unheralded
21st Century genius
at my disposal:

  1. Are you serious about ...his most important creation?

    How could Descartes have ever done anything
    more important than say
    I THINK THEREFORE I AM

    As for me, I am Gary Goldthinkle, a searcher
    in need of an Anonymous Art Critic number.

  2. If the Cartesian Plane never existed,
    computers might have all ended up
    in the Dollar Stores.

    Just because Descartes' co-ordinate geometry
    caused a gazillion classroom anxieties
    is no reason to not respect
    its manifold significance.

    I think therefore I will give you
    a number/name:

    We crown you Gary Googol.

    Have a nice day.

  3. NEWS FLASH!

    DEVORCED Mrs. Carpeo, unexpectedly!

    1. The difference between DE-vorce and DI-vorce
      is analogous to the difference between
      discour-SE and discour-TESY.

      Pre-occupied with Rene DEscartes and
      the images above, Mr.CarPeo
      exaggerated a personal
      infirmity. In truth,
      it was a fifty hour
      sniffle sans
      fever.

      This resulted in a momentary
      conversational lapse
      with his snow-bound
      better half.


      A DE-vorce has a 24 hour shelf life.

      Mr. CarPeo hereby gets down on two bended knees
      and one broken heart to APOLOGIZE
      to Mrs. CarPeo, his guiding light.

      Without her in his life,
      darkness eclipses
      his existence.

  4. Mrs.?Carpeo loves Mr. Carpeo?
    He has removed Mrs. Oliverio
    From his Kartesian fields.
    He has plucked her eye from his site
    where she wants to be day and night

  5. He got his de-vorce
    A sittin' on a horse.
    She said no divorce
    Till you finish
    The first course
    With no remorse

    1. Please allow Anonymous Art Critic #2
      to interrupt this lovers' quarrel
      with some relevant words.

      Rene Descartes once said:

      Allow the mind the freest reign,
      so that when afterwards we bring it,
      more opportunely, under due constraint,
      it may be more easily constrained.


      Call me Filo Sofia.
      Call me anytime!

    2. "Filo" is short for Love Muffin.

  6. To say this, I cannot restrain:

    The mind of Filo Sofia
    has the freest reign
