   Hey, J. P., you know how some people refer to the "USA"?? Bugs me ... so   
   I try to remember to type "U. S. of A.".   
      
   But I think I might be imitating (what's the name of the Greek Guy who   
   spends his life pushing a Bolder up hill [during the Day??]??).   
      
   Hmmm!! Plugging 'tau' into DuckDuckGo, the first offering is ...   
      
   "Tau is a protein primarily found in neurons of the brain, where it   
   helps stabilize microtubules, which are essential for maintaining the   
   structure and function of nerve cells. It plays a crucial role in   
   healthy brain function, but abnormal forms of tau are associated with   
   neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's."   
      
   ... which seems to relate to what Paul was discussing.   
      
   Second DDG offering (from Wikipedia) is ....   
      
   "Tau is the nineteenth letter of the Greek alphabet and has a value of   
   300. It is also used as a symbol for various concepts in biology,   
   mathematics, physics, astronomy and other fields."   
      
   and a third DDG offering (also from Wikipedia) is ....   
      
   "Tau (mathematical constant) - Simple English Wikipedia, the free ...   
   Tau is an endless string of numbers. Tau (τ) (/ ˈ t ɔː, ˈ t aʊ /) is a   
   mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to   
   its radius.It starts as 6.283185307179586, and continues without end in   
   a way that is not predictable. Numbers like this are called irrational   
   numbers. [1]The radius is the shortest connection between the center and   
   the circumference of a circle."   
      
   .... which relates to Pi but for the Radius rather than the Diameter.
