Here’s the deal:
- Reality isn't linear but systems behave linearly around operating points 
- it’s turtles all the way down and the turtles all have Jacobians on their backs
- Convexity is a hammer, everything is a nail
- Linear Transformations Rule Everything Around Me
- Everything is a convexity problem if you squint hard enough 
- Yes, everything

linear transformations rule everything around me 
bar!😮‍💨
everything can be modeled, mapped, or massaged into something solvable, layer by layer.
fascinating stuff July
