} What I will say has not yet been accepted by others,

That's because you're about to prove to everyone not already aware of
the fact that you're a complete moron. Watch:

} You're missing some crucial data that cross-correlates
} your 'time' series to the cerebellar topology.

I couldn't possibly add anything to prove the point better.

Please keep your imaginary mathematical pollution confined to your
"consciousness" groups, although alt.usenet.kooks could use your
input.
