question about {0,1}-matrices

[Jonathan Post]

Measure for Measure:

"Let mine own judgment pattern out my death,
And *nothing* come in partial."
[Act 2, scene 1]

"Once, sir? there was *nothing* done to her once."
[Act 2, Scene 1, a few lines later]

Good choice of Shakespeare's plays, Jon.  That one connects pattern,
nothing, once.

Later scenes give us:

"fasting maids whose minds are dedicate
To *nothing* temporal."
[Act 2, Scene 2]

"have it added to the faults of mine,
And *nothing* of your answer."
[Act II, scene 4]
[Faults is consistent with your use of brittle]

"by chance, *nothing* of what
is writ"
[Act 4, scene 2]
[chance is consistent with your use of brittle]

and, finally:
*
"Nothing* goes right: we would, and we would not."
[Act 5, Scene 1]
[really gives the flavor of a binary matrix, as Boolean]

I might mention that I have a double bachelor of Science degree from
Caltech, in Mathematics and English Literature...
