edge-orthogonal
Hello, friends. We're back with another episode of Dave and I solving some problem that doesn't seem to bother most people. :P This time we've figured out a word that can be used to refer generically to directions that are either vertical (up/down), lateral (left/right), or longitudinal (front/back)...

This is a thread to contain dummy posts to be parents to images whose real parents kicked them out because they didn't want their bicycles cluttering up the loungeroom. e.g. viewtopic.php?p=4787#p4787

Re: aperiodic monotiles
Okay, here goes the second half of our material, focusing on how these new aperiodic tiles relate to each other in terms of kites. Polykites As anyone who has ever tried to hand draw a Penrose tiling from a reference image could tell you, it ain't easy. And graph paper doesn't even help. Remarkabl...

aperiodic monotiles
Earlier this year, as I'm sure many of you will already know, mathematics was blessed with the discovery of aperiodic monotiles — not just one of them, but many! In March, the team consisting of David Smith, Joseph Samuel Myers, Craig S. Kaplan, and Chaim Goodman-Strauss described the hat and the tu...

Re: Noble frequency ratios as prime-count vectors in ℚ(√5)
Also, I begin to wonder about the silver ratio, δₛ = 1+√2 ≈ 2.414213562. It's another can of worms, but I'll bet a lot of this same structure could be generalized to it.

Re: Noble frequency ratios as prime-count vectors in ℚ(√5)
Well that's a tough act to follow... And Dave specifically told me not to do this. So, I'll do it just a bit :P I did some comma-hunting, using some rudimentary bounds (like on the counts of unique primes, the max individual prime count, and product complexity), and then just scanning big output lis...

Re: Ass-backwards
In related news, I just realized today that some people say "hot on the trail" while others say "hot on the tail". A web search gives about a million hits for either one.

Re: terminology for multiplicative equivalents of common additive concepts
I finally got around to writing this up on the xenharmonic wiki, since I use it in a few of my other theory pages there: https://en.xen.wiki/w/Undirected_value

Re: Notation for George Secor's High-Tolerance Temperament
No progress made on the puzzle, but I do have a bunch of links to the Yahoo tuning list archive with relevant information about 29-HTT: https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_17512#17512 https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/makemicromusic/topicId_6820#6964...
