Bow Tie Theory [Updated]
I received a most interesting text message while at the bar this weekend. A certain J. Love had an epiphany regarding the proper tying of a bow tie.
Now understand the bow tie theory as balance between one tensor and two angular vectors. Inform the world.
I’ve never tied a bow tie, but I look forward to doing so if for no other reason than to better understand bow tie theory.
BONUS: Agape Cab. Fairly profound as cab names go. 
Here’s Wiki’s summary.
Agape (Christian theology) the love of God or Christ for mankind. (pronounced /ˈæɡə.piː/ AG-ə-pee;[1] and sometimes /əˈɡɑː.peɪ/ ə-GAH-pay after the Classical Greek agápē; ModernGreek: αγάπη [aˈɣapi]), also called parental love, is one of several Greek words translated into English as love. Many have thought that this word represents divine, unconditional, self-sacrificing, active, volitional, and thoughtful love. Although the word does not have specific religious connotation, the word has been used by a variety of contemporary and ancient sources, including Biblical authors and Christian authors. Thomas Jay Oord has defined agape as “an intentional response to promote well-being when responding to that which has generated ill-being.”[citation needed] In his book, The Pilgrimage, author Paulo Coelho defines it as “the love that consumes,” i.e., the highest and purest form of love, one that surpasses all other types of affection. Greek philosophers at the time of Plato and other ancient authors have used forms of the word to denote love of a spouse or family, or affection for a particular activity, in contrast to philia—an affection that could denote either brotherhood or generally non-sexual affection, and eros, an affection of a sexual nature.

Von Mises has a snazzy, signature bow tie available for the bargain price os $25.00. Description below:
“The ends come to a point in a triangle shape. When you tie it, an interesting complexity appears. On one side, the point edge is in front. On the other side, it is in back. The overall effect is quite beautiful and elegant, nearly polyphonic and 3-D in its appearance. I’ve come to feel more comfortable with this style but I was at a loss to find new versions of this style, even though it doesn’t look dated at all. It looks, in fact, very stylish!”
Only time will tell if J. Love’s bow-tie theory holds up to a polyphonic, point-edged bow tie.
Interesting juxtaposition of topics. Something else that is composed of a tensor with two angular vectors is a rectum, which, as it so happens, may find itself agape at times. Coincidence?
