Codes

Last week's post had some interesting formulas.  Does anyone know what they were?

Page 3 of the book once again appears to have a poem written along side some lecture notes.


The poem at the bottom:

Personal freedom restricted
by codes.
There are conventions related
to construction.
A code to enter.
A code to exit.
Codes limit
what can be done with a wall of wood.
Places are built by rules.
How wide is the portal?
Permits must be purchased,
before admission is granted.
Means of Egress,
refer to table 4.7.
Doors must swing
a certain way.
Consider the rise and run of stair.
No falls.
Consequences are severe and long-lasting.
Compliance, not creativity.
Prevent risks.
Reduce hazards.
Follow code.
Ensure safety.
All conform.



Has anyone else ever written a poem while taking notes that they want to share?

Page 2 appears to have a poem in brackets on the right side:

Oh, a festering pity
strength
once I'd left
fainted room
a stricter guilty turn
I fuel fuels
confident if sit-ups
cots
an ace paper
I, at ivy, I'll baa
main canteen
a line tool, fantasies.
