Dear Prof. Dr. Xiaopeng Ren:
Would you please advise me on these three webpages? The URLs are:
1. A study of Karl Marx’s mathematics: https://81018.com/Marx/
2. Our study of the Chairman of the CCP: Xi Jinping
3. An appeal to China’s academies of science/universities: https://81018.com/petition/#China
Also, there is this page about your work: https://81018.com/Xiaopeng/
• Would you have me change any words, add or delete, to accommodate our cultural differences?

Dear Prof. Dr. Xiaopeng Ren:
There is a psychology for innovation. It suspends judgment, becomes playful, entertains all ideas and allows the art of the impossible to tease out new insights. Yet, baseline learning requires discipline, repetition, and focus.
As children, we naturally switch from one to the other. Given it is International Children’s Day, perhaps we should be teaching adults to become more childlike!
As educators we have settled for the safe definition of pi(π) and not the open definition that releases our imagination. As a global culture we have failed to recognize the redefinition of the infinite based on pi(π). Also, we have not shaken off Sir Isaac Newton’s absolute time to adopt a more more discrete, relational concept of time and space.
I could go on, but that is enough to stir the imagination.
Might you guide me as I struggle to get the Chinese Academy of Sciences to analyze and render a judgement on our most simple model about life that is based on those three observations? Thank you.
Most sincerely,
Bruce
PS. A relatively brief explanation of this most simple model is here. Thank you. –BEC
