3 July 2020 - Ising model

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Easing the Icing On

Ising is a model
That is makeles.
Twyn of many thynges,
Frosting cakeles.

clue:

After the famous medieval lyric. “Makeles” means matchless, “make”-less. The physics model Ising is pronounced like “icing” in English, and like “easing” in its original German. In my conceit, it is the frosting without the cake because it gets the right answer while ignoring the details.

give me a clue so sweet and true
