His professional work divides into two chunks of stuff: the "serious" doctoral work, and several "lighter" pieces which are either good challenge problems or other material accessible to undergrads. Overall it's breddy gud but he's no Grothendieck/Tao, etc, just a guy doing some analysis with a little supporting topology.

Some dumbass sent him a letter asking if he was the Zodiac Killer (yes, that's an actual conspiracy theory - despite law enforcement ruling him out as a suspect due to him not even being in California during some of the murders). He responded with a letter of his own basically calling the guy a kook.

Here are the fragments I've collected. Most of these seem to date from the earlier days of incarceration. Apparently there was some yahoo group or online discussion forum or some shit (check /sci/ archives, old subject) and some person(s) decided to actually get put on an upgraded list for life by actually corresponding with him. Bright idea, corresponding with the guy whose principal claim to fame is sending mail bombs. (b-but he's in prison now) no it's still objectively dumb on its face because of how stupid it sounds when you say the truth out loud. It makes a great punchline for a joke.

K seems to be more active in recent years. There's that new book on the anarchism and I guess one or two other things I don't know about. Maybe he still does some math but I haven't seen it. Even his brother did a family biography very recently.

Math is effectively the extent of his interests in STEM. Consider the personal philosophy that he eventually arrived at for himself, and furthermore consider that he targeted people in industry and professors in STEM. This is not a guy who is interested in the furtherance of technology, with which hard sciences are closely and inevitably bound up.

Furthermore, after he broke bad and remained active in his second career, neighbors, townspeople and acquaintances reported him as reading things like sociology books, histories, some stuff on languages, and the very occasional math/science reading. The point being that his reading consumption from the 70s on was more to do with social sciences and philosophy, not STEM. He wasn't reading copies of Science at the library-or even if he did once in a blue moon, it was a minority, oddball activity during that period of his life.

He describes in some of his letters that he didn't want to do applied math since he didn't want to further the industrial technological system and only did pure math which he regarded as a mere game with no real meaning. What he wanted was to have a simple yet more fulfilling life. I don't see how this is mental illness.
He was by the way analyzed by at least one psychiatrist and was found mentally healthy. So maybe it's you who should refrain from diagnosing people how you obviously have almost no idea about.

What's just been uploaded to this thread? "Boundary Functions", the 1967 doctoral dissertation (or thesis) in mathematics by Theodore John Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber. The reason why I'm typing this out is that to my knowledge, short of some download somewhere which isn't easily searched, or a library or two which probably don't want to let you look at their copies, the full dissertation is not freely available anywhere. Hence the upload for the curious which will hopefully remain available for a while on the appropriate archival site.

To help searching for this text once archived (assuming no one messes with it), I'm going to spout off a number of key phrase searches, now:

Let's also make a few comments about the document. As a math dissertation, it's "strictly business", and therefore makes no concessions to the layperson. In practice, what this means is that the entire document runs lemma-proof/theorem-proof/remark/closing remarks/unsolved problems, done. In a neutral, non-disparaging sense therefore, the activity of the document can be described as "stamp collecting" in the simple sense that he's all about proving theorems (lemmas are also theorems) and then moving right on to the next thing that he needs them for-proving more theorems.

This plus Kaczynski's meticulous numbering of his items (incl. definitions) led me to have a go at charting the work out in my own way, pic related (it's a bit hard to read the grainy stuff at times, even in stark b/w scanning). Basically there's about 75 "things", whether theorems, lemmas, remarks, footnotes, pictures or otherwise. These "things" average one a page, then. The work centers around the proof of ten theorems, though as a text it's still an undifferentiated stream in its way-statement-proof-statement-proof. Straight business. Most sources are cited at the very front and back.

An "open question" about the open questions themselves: were Kaczynski's unsolved problems subsequently decided or at least treated of in the literature someplace? The first place to start looking would be among the authors he cites among all his works, of whom several are listed in the dissertation's final page, its works cited. Kaczynski was cited on a very limited basis by contemporaries in his field, with other citations more recently due to his cute, unserious number theory piece, and of course due to his later notoreity itself. At this time of course, K was known to Bagemihl, Piranian et al simply as a contemporary - student, fellow, colleague. As I am not qualified to say /too/ much about the content of the actual math itself, I refrain from this for the most part at present.

Still, it's interesting to compare the dissertation with K's own supporting (also by him) literature, particularly the papers he made in immediate proximity to the 1967 dissertation. In one other place in his work, he makes a path-diagram thingy which closely resembles (but is distinct from) the figure given at 62 >>9705588 . This complementary figure occurs on Kaczynski, "Boundary Functions for Functions Defined in a Disk"*, journal article, p. 601, pic related.

*not to confused with a paper of the same name by Bagemihl and Piranian.

K "plagarizes"* himself at times, as well, effectively repeating material from previously published work, almost verbatim.* Compare this page 315 with page 18 >>9704216 . As K explains in Boundary Functions' intro, he realizes he can recycle material from his recently published work together with some new stuff in order to put up and defend a dissertation, which of course he does successfully.

*Again, this is only meant as a giggle, and not a literal or negative accusation. On the contrary, K cites his own just-published stuff in the introduction, as a large chunk of the content of the present document. My real suggestion is that it would interesting to make a closer comparison of the various "Boundary Function" documents to see how they correspond as texts, and don't.

uploader anon here. I did exactly that, with all of Kaczynski's professional output. For some months, the dissertation was the one missing piece, but eventually I just popped for it ($38bux) since it was the only missing piece, I could not find it anywhere else to save my life, and I wanted it that bad.

>>9707292

Even if you might not agree with the content of the philosophy, this organizational convention is in fact quite common in modern philosophical texts, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries. Either paragraphs, or very short sections get simple numberings, to sort of bracket complex thoughts off apart from each other for easy reference. Examples include Locke's second treatise of government, Kant's prolegomena, Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations particularly (and to a lesser extent the shorter utterances of the Tractatus), Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit I believe (I've only paged through), Debord's Society of the Spectacle, and Spinoza's ethics, which are modeled on Euclid's presentation and run "definition #this, proposition #that, demonstration #theotherthing".

The basic idea is to spend a short length on a thought, or some closely related thoughts, and again just give that a number for easy lookup. Seen this way, even Kaczynski's numbering schema is fully the stuff of proper philosophical texts.

You can do me one higher compliment. Save all 81 images, bundle them, and disseminate the bundle freely on the internet so that anyone who wishes to see this interesting and perfectly harmless text may do so without some retarded paywall.

While I'm back on the subject, a few more things about studying Kaczynski's math work:

-I'm well satisfied that I have all the published pro stuff in my little volume (leaving aside prison writings, other personal items or errata). I'm only interested in the pro contribution to the math literature, as it's small, well-defined, and interesting in that it covers a few different genres and is even undergrad-accessible in some spots.

-all 12 items are correctly listed HERE: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kaczynski#Published_mathematical_works . The only categorically un-free, "can't find it on the internet easily" thing was the dissertation itself, but that problem has now been solved. If you copy yourself the dissertation from this thread, then you too can piece together the entire thing for yourself if you wish. The only thing you would need is a free throwaway jstor login to get at the rest (in my case I live near better university libraries and they still have print copies of the shorter pieces on deposit, but of course it's best to refer to links for standard internet discussion of these things).

-this present thread, still active on 4chan as of now of course, appears to be durably archived on warosu now. The stable link for the thread (and thus for Kaczynski's 1967 dissertation thesis Boundary Functions full download) should be >>/sci/thread/9694061 for some time, unless something changes. searching relevant terms within the /sci/ warosu page should very quickly narrow the thread's location if you lose track of it.

I've written up a little personal front and back matter for my little binder of the math. Now that I have a hard copy of the dissertation, I'm hard-drive-failure-proof on this. The last thing I have left to do is to work up an account of the "meta-bibliography" - works cited by Kaczynski, and works citing Kaczynski, and closely related "first-degree" concepts, which is as far as I care to push this. pic is a working state.

You're going to publish that, right?
Also, I tried making a PDF of the dissertation, but it's not pretty. I don't know much about this stuff so it ended up being more than 50 MB. Of course, it may still be considered less tedious than downloading 80 images, so I could share it with the thread, but I don't really know what filesharing services people use nowadays. Mega? Is Rapidshare still around?

About half of these links take you straight to the article. The other half are jstor pages which you CAN access without paying a dime, but you just need to create a login and then they have some more bullshit where freeloaders can only access a few articles at a time. I'm going to save you the hassle of dealing with all of this crap, and we're going to do an end-run around jstor where this material is concerned. I'll just post it now.

Here's the thing: all the stuff that's on the jstor pages are really short little articles, so for someone who already has the stuff (me) it's very simple to just dump! This time it'll only be about ten image files or so, not nearly so dreadful as what I chose to do earlier. Another anon (not me) already posted the Wedderburn article ITT, but I'm going to re-post my (distinct) files anyway because mine show the full pages as they appeared in the journal at the time, and also for general consistency. Wedderburn 1.

These first few pieces, by the way, are a great place to start. They're accessible to undergrads, and they have K just playing around with a little modern algebra. This is the very first professional piece that he got published.

Challenge Problem 5210 (page 1 of 1): This challenge problem is again babby-tier algebra. K posits a structure which is very similar to, but distinct from, a field and challenges the audience to prove such-and-such for its elements. It's a fairly easy problem, as many solvers are credited later, but still.

This challenge problem appeared in the very same issue that Wedderburn was first published in: AMM, June-Jul '64. A published article and a published problem, K is starting strong and cutting his teeth with the publishing process. He would have been 22 years old when these first appeared.

Skip ahead a few years (and already-free articles) to 1968. K is a newly minted PhD and getting going with teaching. Then after all his boundary functions stuff, he writes a simple little piece about digits of numbers, part of a series of such articles (various authors) in Mathematics Magazine during the sixties, inspired by a problem in Hardy's Mathematician's Apology (which Hardy himself disdained as un-serious mathematics), and later taken up by Lara Pudwell in same journal, about ten years ago.

It is THIS article which inspired the humorous "better known for other work" footnote used by Pudwell.

This is K "having a bit of fun" after his serious work. As I've already written in this thread, K's math work divides into the "serious" boundary functions stuff, and the "fun" short articles and challenge problems. What I'm posting now is effectively the latter work.

Apart from the above "official" Jstor link, There IS also a free, stable link to this piece HERE

Basically this is sitting on some korean's math blog, and has been there for some years. It should remain there for some time, but one never knows.

Another year or two passes. K puts out a few more pieces to do with boundary functions, has a hard time at his post - and just up and quits in 1969, before the decade is out. From Harvard to Michigan doctorate to west coast teaching post and multiple celebrated publications... back to the parents' house, all in one decade. Even in 1971, the time of his final communication, K had not yet turned thirty.

K's final contribution to the literature is this challenge problem in geometry (787), also appearing in Mathematics Magazine. Notice the location: Lombard, Illinois. K no longer affiliates with an institution or geography of same, but put this one while itinerant at his parents' house, before heading out to the shack.

It is impossible not to see some foreshadowing in this problem, at this critical period of life and career: it's a problem about laying matchsticks on square grids in such-and-such a way. He could have chosen anything to call them: pencils, pens, dowels, toothpicks, /line segments/, anything at all.

He just had to call them matchsticks. Itself an object made out of wood, designed to combust.

literally, K had "matches" (my goof). But the problem with its solution was later given the title here. Two different and interesting solutions are given (use Pick's Theorem), and run a bit long and wordy.

So I like his manifesto but the conclusions he draws from his assertions are simply wrong. While I fully agree with his analysis of the Power process and surrogate activities, his assumption that the only possible solution is "lol bomb industry let's go back to man and woman and 2 kids living in the woods" is just intellectually lazy.

"... Mathematics is more amenable to automatisation..." Sorry Ted, but that's wrong. Automated theorem proving is still hard and even if the computer can do that, actually deciding which theorems should be proven is a task of which (as far as I know) there isn't even progress in automating.

Ted Kaczynski doesnt have a mental illniss or schizophrenia. David Kaczynski his brother thought he was crazy and begged his layers to not get Ted K a death sentence but to plead insane. The Gov really wanted to give ted the death sentence like they did with mcveigh but because of the whole trial ted eventually got the choice to plead insane or guilty and was forced to plead guilty.

''They would have preferred to negotiate a “plea agreement” with the government; that is, an agreement that I would plead guilty on condition that the government should drop its demand for the death penalty. Because the government refused to accept any plea agreement that would allow me to appeal to the Ninth Circuit, a plea agreement would have eliminated my last chance of avoiding life imprisonment, even though it would have saved me from the death penalty. I was not interested in escaping the death penalty if the alternative were life in prison. My objective was to appeal to the Ninth Circuit in an effort to have the search warrant declared invalid.'' [...] To make a long story short, I asked Judge Burrell to let me dismiss Denvir and Clarke and be represented instead by J. Tony Serra, a lawyer who had agreed not to use a mental-illness defense. When Judge Burrell denied that request, I asked permission to dispense with representation by a lawyer and represent myself before the court. The Judge denied that request too, so I was left with only two alternatives: I could either undergo a trial in which my lawyers would portray me as insane, or I could accept a plea agreement, thus sacrificing my chance to appeal to the Ninth Circuit.''

''In case the foregoing account leaves the reader with any doubt about my sanity, I mention the following: For about four years beginning on May 5, 1998, the date on which I first arrived at the prison where I am now held, I was visited almost every day by one or both of the two prison psychologists, Dr. James Watterson and Dr. Michael Morrison. Drs. Watterson and Morrison did not believe these visits were necessary, but their superiors in the Bureau of Prisons had ordered them to visit me every day. In the course of four years we got to know each other rather well, and Drs. Watterson and Morrison told me repeatedly that they saw no indication that I suffered from any serious mental illness. Dr. Morrison said that the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia (offered by the psychologists and psychiatrists whom Denvir and Clarke had hired for that purpose) was “ridiculous” and “wildly improbable”; and on more than one occasion Morrison made caustic remarks about psychologists and psychiatrists who, he said, would provide any desired diagnosis if they were well paid for doing so.''

Since the thread got bumped again and it sounds like someone else will also compile this stuff - take my front matter as well (5 pages). It's basically a "readme" for all this and puts things in context.

Title page/front cover. For an improved front-back cover design I was thinking the happy Berkeley photo up front, and the classic composite sketch as a back cover. I haven't done this yet but it'd be easy to throw together. Here's a crude mock-up.

TOC, using original page numbers.

Coincidentally, no page number is used more than once except for the late challenge problem statement (41) which could be confused with the dissertation's page number. Apart from this every page can be uniquely identified by its original number.

The Bibliography itself (2 of 2).

This is as far as I've taken the front matter (I think it's just about enough), and then the pieces are (ideally) just presented in the order given.

As I've indicated earlier, for myself I also want to work up a "meta-bibliography" of everything that K cited in these pieces, and times when he was subsequently cited in the literature. This, because the truth is that he really wasn't that impactful, and it's a fairly small set of information. For the average anon though, everything that's been posted would be a complete DL though, more than enough once pulled together, and anyone who is intensely curious about what works he cited can just look at the backs of the articles of course. a little bit trickier is who's cited Kaczynski, (strictly the math work, for this purpose I'm uninterested in the political/criminal notoreity, once you add in the latter it's a much larger set of course), and as I learned over the past year he's been cited rather more times than I knew at first, but still not many times.
