I didn't say that, Dominik did. But I'm glad you brought that up because I meant to ask him if he really said it or if he was just joking. :-)

​Isn't that a quote from Alan Sokal, "Transgressing the Boundaries"?​
 

​:-)​


Sokal’s paper does not have any matrix algebra. Perhaps it is influenced by “The Language of the Gods in the World of Men”, which has a section titled “The Geocultural Matrix of Sanskrit Knowledge” and in which superposition principle,[1] matrix norms,[2] and equality of matrices[3] are discussed. :-))

[1] “... the superposed matrix and its norms ...” (p. 26)
[2] ibid.
[3] “... an identical geocultural matrix conditioned the existence ...” (p. 199)
