In terse, clear archival mode: The phonetic resemblance between the Arabic ṣadaqa and the Dari ṣadqa is not accidental in the loose, historical sense, because both move through the same Indo-Iranian–Semitic trade, devotional, and household registers. But their semantic fields diverge. In Arabic, ṣadaqa is anchored in the triliteral root ṣ-d-q, whose core meaning is […]

The Orb

Neutrino Fundamentals and the Standard Model Neutrinos are neutral, spin-½ leptons that interact only via the weak force (and gravity).  They come in three flavors – electron (ν_e), muon (ν_μ) and tau (ν_τ) – each associated with its charged partner.  In the SM they form left-handed weak-isospin doublets and have zero electric charge, hence no […]

abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz “The terms used by naturalists, of affinity, relationship, community of type, paternity, morphology, adaptive characters, rudimentary and aborted organs, &c., will cease to be metaphorical, and will have a plain signification. When we no longer look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as something wholly beyond his comprehension; when […]

The Unique and It

Pre-Sexual and Undifferentiated Beings: A Comparative Survey Ancient Greek Thought: Classical Greek philosophy and myth richly envisioned an original unified human form.  In Plato’s Symposium, Aristophanes famously describes primordial humans as spherical, androgynous creatures with four limbs, two faces, and “two sets of sexual organs” .  These beings came in three types (male-male, female-female, and […]

There are certain letters that, if you spin them to the right or to the left, not flip them, but if you spin them, they remain the same. Can you go through all of them that do that? If we mean this in the strict geometric sense—plain 2D rotation in the page, by 180 degrees […]

Mu In the terse, factual register you prefer: Mu is the bare, vocalic core of negation in early Indo-European, the primitive mouth-closure that marks absence, non-being, or the voided state before articulation. In Greek it becomes μῦ, the consonant of occlusion. In Sanskrit it appears in mū- roots tied to silence, stillness, and the primordial […]

WHO

The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which God sees me That’s an important—and very subtle—distinction. In common translation al-ʿAlīm (ٱلْعَلِيم) is rendered “the All-Knowing,” one of the asmāʾ al-ḥusnā, but the nuance you’re pointing to belongs to al-Amīn (ٱلْأَمِين), the “trustworthy,” the “faithful one.” In early Islamic usage—especially in […]
