It Is A Very Knotty World

it is a very knotty world then add a few exotics,

adjoin new value to old numbers, you get the optics...

it is really easy to do it and it creates a beautiful ring

until you realize duplicity has slipped in before spring.

now the new number systems seek their lost primes.

all those roots uniquely decomposed, say sublime!

nine negative square roots preserve prime factorization,

the very last one negative one hundred sixty-three,

the one gauss conjectured so elegantly...

counting symmetries; it is exact, it is precise, it is bold!

the more symmetry something has the less often it occurs.

send it through the sieve, panning for the precious gold

like a forgotten prime chant at the first hour of the day...

almost nothing has been proven; chip, chip away

at the unsolved infinite twins, at the trivial bound

last theorem decomposing roots of unity.

primes are the atoms of the number system!

what breaks symmetry, all this chaos and sound?

bespoke bootstrap, o observables! this quark confusion,

surprise kinks in higher dimensions intrusion

perturb the corners, please tickle the system...

but really now do any odd perfect numbers exist?

will AI get credit for the proof that 10 is a solitary number,

and who will solve the happy ending problem for arbitrary n?

who will solve the paradoxes in a black hole or evaporate

qubits, quarticles, wavicles? where does information go stack?

in a theory of everything emerge tangled considerations. unpack

–this dense bit of poetry... quantum statistics reflect random

on the topology of a quarticle world this line anyon in tandem

hardwired in the usual way, we think anew...who mentions

–that interaction are the consequence of geometry?

a sacred multifaceted jewel of higher dimensions,

the amplituhedron, is encoded in our reality...
