The crystal radio is "not quite simple" if we use standard memory 
technology (or hard-ware version).

Given signal-to-noise, the maximal fractal surface may seem to be the 
union of point-to-point. That is falsifiable, the millisecond is not 
unless one proves one. ASCII presents "the choice" to support that. 
Standard? "Not my business."

The event horizon for real-time appears only simulated (by us), and I 
like the religions topics on this, for science by science.

For example,

We could express: millisecond := <square>alpha+beta</square>

We could write that with MathML, yet the published MathML is not in 
plain English, enough. Reason? Maybe. How do you know if that means 
"square root of the value of alpha plus beta" or "alpha squared plus 
beta squared, and that the square root of that value". Which quote is in 
present tense? The obvious.

The constance is the power of two, a magic number in computer science, 
yet for mathematics, a real number? 1 + 1.

Elementary support for that number? Some say not their business.

Let's revisit the scale factor of affine transformations: 
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/AffineTransformation.html

How would re-write that equation to remove the magic numbers in order to 
have the pure scalar value? Replace the first two and last two with 
"alpha" and "omega", and format with XML to MathML.

Is the truth, the pure scalar value, of two relative to the affine 
transformation by Wolfram? Ballard's method is E=mcc, so not always. 
Mathematicians think relative to "Energy equals mass times speed of 
light to the power of two."

Use-case for "real-time": law of two.
