Michael Johnson on RAW and math

Michael Johnson's latest Substack piece, "Robert Anton Wilson and the Laws of Form," explores RAW's interest in mathematics, with a particular focus on G. Spencer Brown’s 1969 book Laws of Form. 

One of Michael's remarks inspired me to re-read one of my favorite Robert Heinlein short stories, "'=And He Built a Crooked House-'". The story made a big impression on me when I first read it in high school, and I still like it. It's available here.
