Negative Space

Filed under: General — Tags: , , , , — m759 @ 5:21 pm

A recently coined phrase — "Negative Mathematics" — is related to the
better-known phrase "Negative Space."

The latter is closely related to the proof of the Cullinane diamond theorem. 
For the former, see . . .

Desmic Midrash

Filed under: General — Tags: , , — m759 @ 9:19 am

The author of the review in the previous post, Dara Horn, supplies
below a midrash on "desmic," a term derived from the Greek desmé
( δέσμη: bundle, sheaf , or, in the mathematical sense, pencil —
French faisceau ), which is related to the term desmos , bond …

(The term "desmic," as noted earlier, is relevant to the structure of
Heidegger's Sternwürfel .)

The Horn midrash —

(The "medieval philosopher" here is not the remembered pre-Christian
Ben Sirah (Ecclesiasticus ) but the philosopher being read — Maimonides:  
Guide for the Perplexed , 3:51.)

Here of course "that bond" may be interpreted as corresponding to the
Greek desmos  above, thus also to the desmic  structure of the
stellated octahedron, a sort of three-dimensional Star of David.

See "desmic" in this journal.
