text: [War metaphors] are used, either consciously or unconsciously, for specific effect and purpose.

quantic

text: When the two quantics are the first derived functions of the same quantic of any odd order, the lineo-linear invariant does not vanish, but it is not an invariant of the single quantic.

ref: 1858, Arthur Cayley, “A Fourth Memoir on Quantics”, in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, volume 148, published 1859, page 421:

text:
74. The discriminant of a binary quantic, or the eliminant of a system of binary quantics, is an invariant.
We can see a priori that this must be the case, for if a given quantic has a square factor, it will have a square factor still when it is linearly transformed; or if a system of quantics have a common factor, they will still have a common factor when the equations are transformed.

Excelsior (Longfellow)
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Stan Lee

etymology_text: From Latin excelsior, comparative of excelsus (“high”). The name of the stuffing material was originally a trademark. As an exclamation, originating in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem Excelsior (1841), based on the New York state motto. Popularized in the comic book fandom by Marvel Comics editor Stan Lee, who chose the term to sign off his columns as it was an obscure term and would confound competing publishers who imitated his style.
