A Title for Kalpana Mahalingam* —
Monolithic Parallelism**

Filed under: General — Tags: Art Space — m759 @ 2:16 am

The date — Dec. 28, 2017 — on an arXiv paper suggests
a review of the Log24 posts of December 25-31, 2017.

From Christmas 2017 —

"See the remarks today of Harvard philosophy professor Sean D. Kelly
in The New York Times :

Alexander's "15 properties that create the wholeness and aliveness" —

This is the sort of bullshit that seems to go over well at Harvard.
See Christopher Alexander in this journal."

* See last night's post on Array Studies.

** See "In Search of Monolithic Tenure," as well as the
meaning in Sanskrit of the name "Kalpana Mahalingam,"
a post on Peter J. Cameron's "Seventh Seal," and
a four-color monolith (one of 105 such structures).

The Monolith Mystery

Transcript of NotebookLM video
"The Mystery of Brick Space" —

Okay, so our first clue
0:35
comes from the movies. You've got
0:37
Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, 2001: A
0:39
Space Odyssey. And this … this bizarre
0:42
black monolith just shows up. It's this
0:45
object of perfect almost unsettling
0:47
geometry that always signals some huge
0:50
leap in evolution. And what's really
0:52
wild is that while Kubrick was filming
0:53
this, minimalist artists like John
0:55
McCracken were creating nearly identical
0:57
sculptures totally independently of the
1:00
film.

Four-Color Monolith

Those who find Kubrick's black 2001 monolith too dark
may prefer a more colorful image, taken from yesterday's
post on the Klein correspondence —

When?

Going to dark bed there was a square round
Sinbad the Sailor roc’s auk’s egg
in the night of the bed of all the auks of the rocs
of Darkinbad the Brightdayler.

Where?

Function Decomposition and the Klein Quadric

Filed under: General — Tags: Seventh Seal — m759 @ 7:48 am

"Grid models" in finite geometry include the 4-row 2-column
"brick space" arrays of the R. T. Curtis Miracle Octad Generator.

The remarks below on grid models suggested this post's title,
"Function Decomposition and the Klein Quadric." The result of
applying the Cullinane decomposition theorem to the final
remarks in Cameron's Parallelisms of Complete Designs —

http://m759.net/wordpress/?s=Brick+Color+Monolith .

NotebookLM on the Grid Model . . .

Connecting Diverse Mathematical Fields

The grid model acts as a unifying framework for several other abstract concepts:

The Klein Quadric: The correspondence extends to higher dimensions via the Klein correspondence. This maps the 35 lines of PG(3,2) (the grid structures) to 35 points on the Klein quadric in a 5-dimensional projective space, PG(5,2). This connects the combinatorial partitions of the grid to the geometry of quadric surfaces.
Latin Squares: The model provides a geometric interpretation of combinatorial design. The concept of orthogonality between Latin squares corresponds to the geometric concept of skewness (non-intersecting lines) in PG(3,2).
Walsh Functions: The symmetries and binary additions inherent in the line diagrams reflect the structure of Walsh functions, which are orthogonal functions used in digital signal processing and discrete harmonic analysis.
Ring Theory: The patterns can be organized algebraically to form "diamond rings," which are isomorphic to rings of matrices over the field GF(4), linking the visual design to abstract algebra and function decomposition.

Summary

The 4×4 grid model acts as a "kaleidoscope" of mathematical structure. Just as a kaleidoscope rearranges simple elements into symmetric patterns, this grid rearranges simple binary tiles to reveal the invariant structures of finite geometries, sporadic groups, and error-correcting codes. It transforms what appears to be a simple problem of tiling into a visualization of the affine 4-space over GF(2)
