I wanted a name I don't use on other forums (not online much these days, but have been in the past), and there's an extremely stretched, highly-metaphoric, analogy between some of things I'm needing to do for my current professional work, and the work Johannes Kepler needed to do to get access to, and then do something with, the observational data collected by Tycho Brahe...
My internal mental life is a bit baroque...
