The Mat is a Generalization
[Context: Does a welcome mat constitute an invitation enough to allow a vampire entrance to your home? User QC asserted: "The mat is a generalization. To my mind, vampires and anyone else must be invited personally and specifically.]

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.
