Hello!

Well, here we are. The first post of my first blog. Welcome and thanks for reading!

INTEGRAL is so-called because it will sum up the area under my life-experience curve, as it were. Also because it will integrate a variety of subjects. Then again because it will prove integral (ha, a pun!) to its readership.

INTEGRAL will be "idio-syncretic". Idio, because it will reflect my peculiar concerns and experiences--syncretic, because it will assimilate a lot of different stuff to one unifying structure, or position, or viewpoint.

Some of the things I foresee writing about are: philosophy, math things, books I'm reading, poems, neat proverbs and aphorisms, science, interesting ideas of any kind, autobiographical things. This list may or may not be very accurate. I suspect there are other rabbits hiding in the hat.

Although this blog is a kind of personal chronicle, it is also supposed to be eclectic and representative of thought-chunks of many shapes and sizes. So I encourage comments and even guest contributions.
