all be expressed in such a simple and all-encompassing mathematical
formula as that. That is one of the greatest and most profound moments
in the entire history of the species known as Homo Sapiens.

A four-dimensional crystal lattice, eh? Would a superset of that
formula involve additional higher dimensions? And likely exponentially
greater energies?

Hmmm.
