tree nation and tree world

Tell a story in silence                                (gertics11-01)


Looks like this little corner of the web is having an advocacy run for trees.  So wrapping this up, we should appreciate how they create wonders around us in whatever way they can.  Observe what we have below:

It can be trapped; I got it!                           (gertics11-02)


Somebody caught the bright speck in the sky, and then everybody else is trying to say that it is such an awesome feat, while the others are on the move to steal it (not so much as an evidence for crab mentality though).

Many people are actually fascinated with trees that certain theoretical concepts were named after them.  In order to reflect how wonderful they can be, people have also created weird names with the likes of "B+ Trees", "AVL Trees", "Dancing Trees", "Red-black Trees", "Scapegoat Trees", etc.

People have also attributed complicated stuff to them with the likes of "O(log n)". This one can be a nice ode to a tree: "Oh, log of the N!", where N stands for "north". You can even use "s", e.g. "O(log s)"; just define what "s" means so that you can say "Oh, log of the South!".  This one looks even more intimidating: "O(log e)", and how about "O(log w)" or "O(log w³)"?

Some people even wanted to apologize for cutting trees such that they also invented stuff like "Ω(log log n)", read as "big Omega of log log n", to campaign the end of unnecessary wood chopping.

Some even went as far as making them look smart by giving names like "self-balancing binary search trees", "binomial trees", and "weight-balanced trees".  Well-rounded trees with weight management, anyone? O come on!

Regardless of the regard for trees, it's not bad if they swarm into urban areas, right?  Let's flood our towns and cities with greens (just forgive them when they lose the green property sometimes).
