in which laziness has no reward.

for one of my projects at hand, i think i have attempted all the obvious things that i can think of attempting. i have recorded the statements of theorems, examples, and well-known facts, in order to determine whether i can make a logical yet interesting observation ..

.. or, as the advisor would have said,
whether a particular claim "follows from pure thought."


i'm convinced now that it's not easy. so i suppose it's time to sit down and read the papers in detail.

perhaps i should have done this from the very beginning; oh well. i guess i'm getting lazier with age.
