Hallucinated Geometry

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 5:51 pm

For fans of the "story theory of truth" —

An example of artificial stupidity:

The phrases "midpoints of opposite faces" and "essentially
creating a smaller cube" are hallucinated bullshit.

The above AI description was created by inanely parroting
verbiage from the Wikipedia article "Diamond cubic" —
which it credits as a source. (See wider view of search.)
That article contains neither the word "theorem" nor the
phrase "unit cube " from the search-request prompt.

AI, like humans, is likely to fall victim to the notorious
"story theory of truth" purveyed by Richard J. Trudeau.
A real  "diamond shape formed within a unit cube" is the
octahedron, one of the five classical Platonic solids.

Trudeau may prefer . . .

AN INVARIANCE OF SYMMETRY

BY STEVEN H. CULLINANE

We present a simple, surprising, and beautiful combinatorial
invariance of geometric symmetry, in an algebraic setting.

DEFINITION. A delta transform of a square array over a 4-set is
any pattern obtained from the array by a 1-to-1 substitution of the
four diagonally-divided two-color unit squares for the 4-set elements.

THEOREM. Every delta transform of the Klein group table has
ordinary or color-interchange symmetry, and remains symmetric under
the group G of 322,560 transformations generated by combining
permutations of rows and colums with permutations of quadrants.

PROOF (Sketch). The Klein group is the additive group of GF (4);
this suggests we regard the group's table  T as a matrix over that
field. So regarded, T is a linear combination of three (0,1)-matrices
that indicate the locations, in  T, of the 2-subsets of field elements.
The structural symmetry of these matrices accounts for the symmetry
of the delta transforms of  T, and is invariant under G.

All delta transforms of the 45 matrices in the algebra generated by
the images of  T under G are symmetric; there are many such algebras. 

THEOREM. If 1 m ≤ n2+2, there is an algebra of 4m
2n x 2n matrices over GF(4) with all delta transforms symmetric.

An induction proof constructs sets of basis matrices that yield
the desired symmetry and ensure closure under multiplication.

REFERENCE

S. H. Cullinane, Diamond theory (preprint).

Update of 1:12 AM ET on Friday, Oct. 25, 2024 —

The above "invariance of symmetry" document was written in 1978
for submission to the "Research Announcements" section of the
Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society .  This pro forma 
submission was, of course, rejected.  Though written before
I learned of similar underlying structures in the 1974 work of
R. T. Curtis on his "Miracle Octad Generator," it is not without
relevance to his work.

It was to leave in the forenoon and drive up the Irati River above Aoiz and picnic and swim and then drive back in time for the bullfights. Each day we drove further up that lovely trout stream into the great virgin forest of the Irati that was unchanged since the time of the Druids. I had expected it would all be cut and destroyed but it was still the last great forest of the Middle Ages with its great beeches and its centuries-old carpet of moss that was softer and lovelier to lie on than anything in the world. And each day we went farther and farther into it, getting back later to the fights until, finally, we skipped the final fight, the novillada, and penetrated to a place I will give no details on because we want to go back there again and not find fifty cars or jeeps have found it."

"Time is the moving image of eternity." — Plato (paraphrased)

Summary, as an illustration of a title by George Mackey

may be seen as a representation of eternity. (The circle,
familiar to us as a clock face, of course represents time.)
