SD^...n

Right now I am working on a project requiring a touch of statistical analysis - the standard deviation.  It's all about the bell curve, norms, and the extremes that don't fit inside of norms.  The extreme ends are graduated outside the norms, the standard.  So the first gradation out is standard deviation 1.  It's possible to have a number of standard deviations if the data set has a lot of numbers over a considerable spread.  But, I am used to dealing with a smaller set of numbers in a distribution, thus one or two standard deviations to catch anomalies in the way people word their thoughts.

It's beautiful to work with SDs.  It shows where the worst of the worst is, and conversely, the best of the best.  Of course, I am always interested in the best of the best end of the curve.  It's for one who finishes well, particularly when the journey has been hard and exhausting.  And, that is the measure that my heart uses... the anomaly... space for the distinguished one no matter how many are in the distribution (...n).  SD^...n.  The set of a single, heavenly element.
