Serendipity indeed.
You've gotta love it when you catch an error in your initial analysis, when trying to finish up.
An error that, while minor, and won't cause any problems now, is still an error.
But it was an error that got you thinking along the lines that made the whole thing click in the first place.
If I hadn't made misread something at the very beginning, and made that error, the conceptual leaps that ended up forming the core of my work wouldn't have been nearly so forthcoming, I don't think.
Heh.

That reminds me of the quote that says something like
Whatever works, as they say.
Oh, and I'm a few days late, but congratulations on completing your epic.
Who's playing the lead when it's turned into a major motion picture? ;)
Re: That reminds me of the quote that says something like
Yeah, I do believe it was Richard Feynman that that quote is most often attributed to. I prefer the updated "WTF?" but hey, I'm a modern kinda guy. :)
As for the lead, I'd say Christopher Reeve, but apparently that would be a bit difficult now. Stupid laws of necromancy.

Man, you took even longer than Josh Landrum. He finished his last year.
Then again, I don't think his was 371 pages. Plus, he's single.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
You have no idea how many new ideas I've had for how to improve this beast just since writing. NONE of which have been implemented.
Although I did implement a POML -> LaTeX equation XSLT to auto-generate the equations for me. :) Oh, and a POML -> LaTeX table tool to generate report tables of patterns found in the test suites. And I guess I stomped a bunch of bugs this past week... Hmm.
