This document appears to be a page from a scientific or philosophical manuscript (page 181) found in House Oversight files. It discusses the mathematical theories of 'Thom' (likely René Thom), specifically 'Semiophysics' and 'Catastrophe Theory,' using biological and physical metaphors like blood vessels and cell membranes. The text recounts Thom's 65th birthday celebration at IHES, noting that while his peers honored his Field's Medal work, they pointedly ignored his later, more controversial theories.
