... a certain Grothendieck, who reckoned " a mathematical problem will solve itself when one has found by sufficient humble attentiveness exactly its right context and formulation."
Will all problems be solved by simply finding their perfect place and ways of expressing them??
Marcel Duchamp (approximately) " Any form is the same as another form, simply seem from a different angle in a different perspective"
or the book title (more evocative than the specifics of the actual book) "The Uses of Disorder"
