Re: Mind's Eye Re: Thinking Earth

Well we in England still use "miles per hour". If these discussions continue in the same vane my might be tempted to resist the urge of a return to the forest.

They are not imaginary but rather real as you can show the effect.
But you must remember americans have not reached the A0, A1, A2, A4 ,,  Their math is still stuck in the archaic age of paper.

A couple of short mathematical poems for you all:-

 

Uniformity

The ratio 'one by root two'

Has powerful acclaim

For should one divide one by two

The ratio remains

This simple fact made foolscap die

And paper size mundane.

'A0', 'A1', 'A2', 'A4'

When folded look the same.

Numbers Imaginary

 

That damned square root of minus one

Does not exist or so they say

So let's imagine that it does

And give it a name, Call it 'j'.

 

For 'j' to have reality

Real things it then must do for me

If not it will simply remain,

Imaginary in fact and name.

 

'j' squared times one is minus one

A vector rotation of pi

So by itself, what must it do,

A vector rotation of pi over two?

 

Just sharing, Malc

That definitely is geometrical but can get very complicated- it's
great if it falls into place naturally or easily on a crude 3:5 or
5:8. The Japanese diagonals are a lure- always- so I get into a
scramble sometimes- but that's back to perspective. Anyway, this
figure is in trouble- it might be 10 years ago I started it- maybe 15.
Am starting to call her Dizzy Mona. :-)
