I've already gone to Brain Place from a post you left in PB. Now to try the tests...
So do objects seem masculine or feminine to you sometimes?
Hooray for you for solving that problem & no one else. Sounds to me like you're very good at math. Sounds like Kekule von Stradonitz, a chemist, who came up with the benzene ring theory after thinking & dreaming about it. He dreamed of a snake holding its tail in its mouth.
I know little about game theory, I'll have to look over the book you recommended & get back to you on some math books, specially about fractals. Not that I could do the math involved, it's just nice to learn about it without doing calculations.
I read about John Nash years ago & his game theory work. A *very* interesting, extremely intelligent man - not sure that I'd like him personally & not due to his illness but his personality in general. The movie sugar coats it.
Ahh, music & the brain. It has such powerful effects, both good & bad - but mostly good. I'm off to read more on the Brain Place....
> In languages other than English, objects are often feminine or masculine. What is weird is that it changes from one language to the other (French vs. Spanish for example)! That's confusing...

> In French and Spanish:
> knife - masculine
> spoon - feminine
