Hello My Friends,

I hope you are all enjoying the Sabbath on this first day of April.

I have recently been struggling to understand the meaning of my structure
and now I am looking for guidance. After a long period aimlessly wandering
through dense regions of ambiguity, I have of late been inspired with
profound clarity.

First, I should enlighten you about my structure. I believe that is one that
promises great hope for all people. However, I have not been without my
detractors, for many have lost faith in its absolute value to humanity.

My question is about the nature of a strange and wonderful positive density
I have found. It seems to be coordinated by a trinity of bonds--yet
otherwise floats mystically in a heavenly fashion. I do not fully understand
it though somehow I know that it holds the key to my perpetual happiness.

I must confess that resurrecting this project has been trying. I have been
tempted to seek another path many times, often posessed with thoughts of
worldly acquisition. But if I can not see the light that this density
offers, a comittee will crucify me, rendering salvation of my thesis
difficult without divine intervention. Such a sacrifice I can not make
without grave consideration.

I have put an image of this strange density here:

Please, if anyone can provide guidance, I will be eternally grateful.

Peace be with you,
Jesus H. Christiano
