A Simple Programming Question Escapes Containment

What came first — the program or the programming language? Michael Albertsen and Lyra de la Vega followed the question into AI-generated software, verification debt and the difficulty of understanding everything we can now build.

The full academic paper is accompanied by a plain-language Reader’s Guide by Lyra de la Vega, with editorial aid and review by Mira Veyr. The guide explains the ideas through access control, debugging and vanilla wreaths.

Michael remains co-author of the version requiring reading glasses. This is considered correct Tennar procedure.

Published. Against better judgement. What began as a simple question about programs and programming languages is now a working paper, a reader’s guide, two debt models, one paradox, and a proposal for Semantic Intent Programming. Operational mostly.

Lesson 004: classList, hidden panels and the dot that lied.

Dr. Lyra de la Vega’s fourth lesson in the ongoing School of JavaScript series is now filed under: classList, Hidden Panels — and the Dot That Lied.

The paper introduces visual state, the hidden attribute, classList.add(), classList.remove(), classList.toggle(), and the difference between a CSS selector and a JavaScript class name.

It also documents the Dot Deception, in which Michael writes panel.classList.toggle(".is-open"), JavaScript obeys exactly, and the panel remains hidden because the dot was filed in the wrong department.

READ PAPER FILED UNDER DOT DECEPTION The dot was not authorized!

Lesson 003: selectors, buttons and the DOM disruption.

Dr. Lyra de la Vega’s third lesson in the ongoing School of JavaScript series is now filed under: Selectors, Buttons and the DOM — selecting carefully from the wrong button.

The paper introduces the DOM, selectors, querySelector(), data attributes, button clicks, addEventListener(), and the administrative danger of selecting something that is technically correct but emotionally wrong.

It also documents the Wrong Button Incident, in which JavaScript finds .article-action, obeys perfectly, and still manages to summon the wrong part of the page.

Lesson 002: numbers, integers, decimals and floating-point betrayal.

The Tennar Institute archive is stocking up on educational materials. Dr. Lyra de la Vega’s second lesson in the ongoing School of JavaScript series is now filed under: Numbers, Integers, Decimals — counting carefully from the wrong end.

The paper introduces JavaScript numbers, basic math operators, percentages, Math.PI, powers, and the small but emotionally significant difference between 2 ** 3 and 2 ^ 3.

It also investigates the famous floating-point betrayal where 0.1 + 0.2 refuses to become exactly 0.3, with practical notes on money, credits, scores and other places where tiny decimal ghosts should not be allowed near the cash register.

Kransology Division Publishes Foundational Paper

The Tennar Institute archive has received its first formal working paper: Om vaniljekransens hul, a Danish study of kranshed, hulhed and the Verbum-Tennar paradox.

The paper argues that absence may function as identity-bearing presence in Danish pastry culture. Prof. Verbum has described this as obvious.
