Mildred Thompson began her series of “Magnetic Fields” paintings in the early 1990s following her permanent move back to the U.S. after spending much of her career living abroad. This painting, like the whole series, reflects Thompson’s creation of a personal visual language to depict phenomena and effects not visible to the naked eye. Thompson studied quantum physics, cosmology, and theosophy. Through her art, she sought to connect scientific knowledge and metaphysical philosophy.

This use of the term matrix in mathematics (an English word for "womb" in the 19th century, from Latin, as well as a jargon word in printing, in biology and in geology[195]) was coined by James Joseph Sylvester in 1850,[196] who understood a matrix as an object giving rise to several determinants today called minors, that is to say, determinants of smaller matrices that derive from the original one by removing columns and rows. In an 1851 paper, Sylvester explains:[197] I have in previous papers defined a "Matrix" as a rectangular array of terms, out of which different systems of determinants may be engendered from the womb of a common parent.
Origin and history of matrix matrix(n.) late 14c., matris, matrice, "uterus, womb," from Old French matrice "womb, uterus" and directly from Latin mātrix (genitive mātricis) "pregnant animal," in Late Latin "womb," also "source, origin," from māter (genitive mātris) "

Looks like Assad is on his way out, likely to be replaced by a US puppet regime who will cut off supplies to Hezbollah in Lebanon. The empire notches another win. The US proxy warfare in Lebanon and Ukraine makes a lot more strategic sense now. Many pundits on my end of the commentary spectrum have been calling those proxy wars self-defeating and framing them as the desperate flailings of a dying empire which will only accelerate its demise, but now here we are watching the empire score a victory it's been chasing for years, with the western/Israeli stranglehold on the middle east growing tighter than ever. One of the many perks of being the world's dominant superpower is that it gives you the luxury of time. If one regime change operation fails, don't worry, you can just move some chess pieces around and you can take another shot at it. If a coup attempt fails in Latin America, relax, there will be other coup attempts. If your efforts to grab Syria fail, you can just smash it with sanctions and occupy its oil fields to impoverish it while overextending its military allies in proxy conflicts elsewhere and grab it later. A good kickboxer throws many combinations with the understanding that most strikes will miss or be blocked or cause minimal damage, trusting that eventually the one knockout blow will get through. No empire lasts forever, but there's no evidence that this one is going away any time in the immediate future. This ugliness could conceivably drag itself out for generations.
An excerpt of the Fire Next Time by James Baldwin. "We should certainly know by now that it is one thing to overthrow a dictator or repel and invader and quite another thing really to achieve a revolution. Time and time and time again, the people discover that they have merely betrayed themselves into the hands of yet another Pharaoh, who, since he was necessary to put the broken country back together, will not let them go."
