> Is there a link to a definition of "fulguration" in a mathematical context? I'm pretty sure not, google would find it, never heard it. I understood "lightning" and saw the parallel to German Geistesblitz (literally ghost/spirit + flash) flash of inspiration flash of wit flash of genius scintillation sudden inspiration brain wave (colloquial?) sudden inspirations Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

:) yes ok.. I will not win the Fields Medal ..and English lacks the figurative sense of the `fulguration` word. In my language, from Latin: `folgorazióne 2. fig. Illuminazione improvvisa della mente 2. fig. Sudden enlightenment of the mind` [download] L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs..

I think Discipulus meant "enlightenment" in the spiritual sense, the bodhi or satori. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]
