The chinese had already stolen this encryption regime before the story was set in type.

In layman’s terms, the patent allows you to keep your data private while using it without having to fully trust the guy who is storing your data.

homomorphisms are simply looser isomorphisms as far as their cohort of objects in their particular category are concerned.

Maybe “ideal” has to do with rings of these beasties and what these homomorphisms change into nothingness, or at least the zero of the ring. Oops, the math is beginning to get political.

"Loosen" things up and we go from isomorphisms to homomorphisms in a heartbeat. And it does not stop there.

From Wikipedia:

A homomorphism is a map that preserves selected structure between two algebraic structures, with the structure to be preserved being given by the naming of the homomorphism. Particular definitions of homomorphism include the following:

Is it clear, now?

I am uncomfortable with “A functor is a homomorphism between two categories.”. Homomorphism preserves some structure, and while categories have object with structure, I’m unclear what they have themselves. (I shouldn’t anthropomorphize, but some categories cute.)

Anyway, one of the developers (Steenrod) called “abstract nonsense”.

So, is it a hate crime to tell a homomorph to get functor?

Maybe similar methods can be used to derive threat patterns without getting too nosey into the affairs of the citizens.

I was thinking maybe it could be used on radio bursts
from other galaxies, it might not tell us their content
but would possibly indicate intelligence...

Only if you call a homomorphism a mother functor.

Fully homomorphic encryption

They pulled this invention out of their ass.

Homomorphisms. Homological algebra. Homology groups. Homotheties.

must be another gay agenda

They are saying the government is going to continue to butt f#ck citizens, but, they are going to wear condoms.

Obviously, another insidious part of the homomorphic agenda!

Thanks null and void.

Amazing what these great human minds can do.

The question that I find most mysterious is, What is math?

And how do atheists account for it?
