Abstract

Three-item data are a new way of looking at homology. Past views on homology are contrasted, and some historical details of the development of the concept are given. Application of three-item data is given for some simple examples, with a detailed series of problems outlined in the appendix (from a privately, informally published pamphlet entitled “Nullius in Verba,” by G. Nelson).
