Code Bleu

From The New York Times  on May 5, 2011 —

"… What Paris says to me is love story, awash with painters,
shots of the Seine, Champagne. Thank God I have a
can’t-miss notion to sell you. I call it ‘Midnight in Paris.’ ”

“Romantic title,” I had to admit. “Is there a script?”

“Actually, there’s nothing on paper yet, but I can spitball
the main points,” he said, slipping on his tap shoes.

“Maybe some other time,” I said, mindful of Cubbage’s
unbroken string of theatrical Hiroshimas.

— Woody Allen

The above passage is in memory of a French film director
who, like the reporter in yesterday's post Primary Colors,
reportedly died on April 21, 2022.

“In a sense, we would see that change
arises from the structure of the object.”

— Theoretical physicist quoted in a
Simons Foundation article of Sept. 17, 2013

This suggests a review of mathematics and the
Classic of Change ,” the I Ching .

The physicist quoted above was discussing a rather
complicated object. His words apply to a much simpler
object, an embodiment of the eight trigrams underlying
the I Ching  as the corners of a cube.

The Cullinane image above illustrates the seven points of
the Fano plane as seven of the eight I Ching  trigrams and as
seven natural ways of slicing the cube.

For a different approach to the mathematics of cube slices,
related to Gauss’s composition law for binary quadratic forms,
see the Bhargava cube  in a post of April 9, 2012.
