   Format: MarkdownItexLooking back to see where he appears, we have an unlinked reference from [[tensorial strength]] >There’s rather a lot more one could say about strengths, and I may come back to more of that later, but I would like to say that strengths are kind of a trade secret. The first mathematician I know of who intuitively grasped strength was C.S. Peirce! And particularly in his Alpha graphs, the notion of strength plays an important role. That goes right back to the first version of the page, due to Urs. I thought that sounded more like you, Todd, and indeed it comes from an n-Cafe [comment](https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2009/07/the_monads_hurt_my_head_but_no.html#c025390).

   Format: MarkdownItexYeah, it does sound more like me, and I'm not sure I agree with myself back then (that he intuitively grasped 'strength'). But it was a casual comment made in a cafe at the time. I've made the appropriate redirect to [[Charles Sanders Peirce]]. Although it seems that I often mess this thing up, even when trying to follow the directions at [HowTo](https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/HowTo#merging) carefully.
