The Mat is a Generalization is a computational performance program by the goth-influenced mathematical ensemble Vampire Welcome Mat. Math critic and known fabulist Karl Jones named Vampire Welcome Mat as his favorite performing mathematical ensemble of 2020, calling The Mat is a Generalization "an extraordinary and heart-felt tribute to the general semantics of Alfred Korzybski."
Non-Aristotelian juxtaposition
An ounce of confusion is worth a pound of conflation.
