Word games (Cabbala)
I've been reading through a book by Zetter on the Cabbala, which is overall nothing stunning but has some interesting insights. And some of these got me thinking, so I'm just going to muse here....

Please be warned that at some stage in this I'm going to descend into alphabetic analysis, which should not be taken too seriously. It's a way to get at ideas more directly, but the ideas are the goal and the alphabet is just a rather odd means to get there.

Also, please note that it's late, and I'm really not thinking in English at the moment, so the following may be really incomprehensible at times, and is probably not of interest to anyone who doesn't do these things for fun. So be warned!

Incidentally, Cabbala isn't the biggest thing on my mind tonight. There's a new paper out on the archive (here) which I suspect is on the tail of something very, very important. I think that Bousso's approach to holography has something very "right" about it, and this paper may be one of the first hints of exactly which way this needs to go.
