The Space of Complex Measures
The sum of two complex measures is a complex measure, as is the product of a complex measure by a complex number. That is to say, the set of all complex measures on a measure space (X, Σ) forms a vector space. Moreover, the total variation ||μ|| defined as
is a norm in respect to which the space of complex measures is a Banach space.

“Our passionate preoccupation with the sky, the stars, and a God somewhere in outer space is a homing impulse. We are drawn back to where we came from.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Specialization is a feature of every complex organization, be it social or natural, a school system, garden, book, or mammalian body.”

“Almost everywhere we find . . . the use of various coercive measures, to rid ourselves as quickly as possible of the child within us—i.e., the weak, helpless, dependent creature—in order to become an independent competent adult deserving of respect.
