Back when Wolfram's monstrous tome came out, in the summer of 2002, I wrote
a long review, which I "left to the gnawing criticism of the mice", thinking
I'd get back to it when the cultural moment was safely past. Since I'm
not getting anywhere tonight showing that the error in my filtering scheme is a
non-negative supermartingale, and need to procrastinate some people
who saw the manuscript liked it, and
Wolfram keeps on keeping on, I
felt I might as well brush off the dust, make a few adjustments,
and put it online. Enjoy, if
you're into that kind of thing.
