When prompting a locally run Llama 3.2 1B Instruct to explain the difference between #Fibonacci tree and a Fibonacci sequence for a 11-year-old in German (as requested by K2), the response started off with "Ze Fibonacci-Treier und ze Fibonacci-Sequenz ..." 😂

Im Zentrum von Reykholt liegt ein Forschungszentrum rund um Snorri Sturluson (1179–1241), einen der bedeutendsten isländischen Gelehrten und Autor der Prosa-Edda.

Snorri Sturluson: a brief look

Any time one engages with secondary sources, it becomes imperative to understand the inherent bias of the author.  The Prose Edda is no exception.  It is often treated as a primary source, but Snorri Sturluson was a non-heathen writing about heathen matters, and therefore his work cannot be truly primary, and his biases and the culture of the day must be taken into account when working with his Edda.  For this reason, we need to first look at Snorri's life.
