Lux Umbra Dei

About the Substack

Sometimes humorous, amateur recreations and explorations in math, analytic philosophy and science. Short fiction. Religious stuff. Laments on aging! Lots of questions but not a lot of answers. A certainty-free zone!

About Michael

Mountains, music, poetry, philosophy, history, climate science, mathematics, law. Last place runner, mediocre monk.
