CheckUser and Oversight (suppressor) are not included above since no user was nominated for these sensitive permissions, probably. [[User:Codename Noreste|Codename Noreste]] ([[User talk:Codename Noreste|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Codename Noreste|contribs]]) 01:30, 19 March 2026 (UTC) :And it's not that when someone at the beginning misplaced the request, no one thought to move it and the others copied it. Even today, it would be possible to simply take it all and move it. Otherwise, for me, the more fundamental problem is that there is [[Wikiversity:Curators|no approved policy for curators]] than where the requests are based. Curators then operate in a certain vacuum and if one of them "breaks out of the chain", the average user doesn't have many transparent tools to deal with it, because there is no policy.

And I would be interested to see how Wikiversity is doing in the monitored metrics. We probably have more editors than Wikinews had, but what about consumers and achieving the goals? [[User:Juandev|Juandev]] ([[User talk:Juandev|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Juandev|contribs]]) 19:14, 1 April 2026 (UTC) :Wikiversity's biggest issue in recent times was the hosting of low-quality, trash content. Thankfully we've done a great job in removing pseudoscience and other embarrassingly trash content (Wikidebates, for example), but the biggest concern moving forward is proper maintenance IMO. I've caught several pseudoscience pages being created within the last few months that could easily have flown under the radar (ex, [[The Kelemen Dilemma: Causal Collapse and Axiomatic Instability]]), so I'd urge our custodians/curators to be on the lookout for this type of content. Usually an AI-overview can point this type of content out relatively well. :In terms of visibility, I believe Wikiversity is a high-traffic project. I remember my [[Mathematical Properties]] showing up on the first page of Google when searching up "math properties" for the longest time (and is still showing up in the first page 'till this day!). Besides, Wikinews hosted a lot of short-term content (the nature of news articles), while Wikiversity hosts content that can still be useful a decade later (ex, [[A Reader's Guide to Annotation]]). :I think we are on a better path than we were a few months ago, and I do want to thank everyone here who has been helping out with maintaining our website! —[[User:Atcovi|Atcovi]] [[User talk:Atcovi|(Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Atcovi|Contribs)]] 20:48, 1 April 2026 (UTC) :For what it's worth, the group that did that study has since disbanded, so no one is monitoring the other sister projects in the same way. Additionally, Wikinews had some catastrophic server issues due to the maintenance of [[:m:Extension:DynamicPageList]] which don't apply here. Your questions are still worth addressing, but I just wanted to cut off any concern at the pass about Wikiversity being in the same precarious situation. Wikiversity is definitely the biggest "lagging behind" or "failure" project now that Wikinews is being shuttered, but I don't see any near- or medium-term pathway to closing Wikiversity. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 00:46, 2 April 2026 (UTC) :[[w:en:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2026-03-31/News and notes|Entirety of Wikinews to be shut down]] (Wikipedia Signpost) -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 02:03, 11 April 2026 (UTC) == Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) == Hello everyone, This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>). '''The Change:'''<br /> Currently, many templates pull electoral maps from Wikidata using the property [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]], combined with the qualifier [[:d:Property:P180|P180]]: [[:d:Q19571328|Q19571328]]. We are migrating this data (across roughly 4,000 items) to a newly created, dedicated property: '''[[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]]'''. '''What You Need To Do:'''<br /> To ensure your templates and infoboxes do not break or lose their maps, please update your local code to fetch data from [[:d:Property:P14226|P14226]] instead of the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] + [[:d:Property:P180|P180]] structure. A [[m:Wikidata/Property Migration: P1846 to P14226/List|list of pages]] was generated using Wikimedia Global Search. '''Deadline:'''<br /> We are temporarily retaining the old data on [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] to allow for a smooth transition. However, to complete the data cleanup on Wikidata, the old [[:d:Property:P1846|P1846]] statements will be removed after '''May 1, 2026'''. Please update your modules and templates before this date to prevent any disruption to your wiki's election articles. Let us know if you have any questions or need assistance with the query logic.

What I've called it so far is "The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea". At other times I used more sensationalist wording but here on Wikiversity I don't dare do that. I actually woke up with thinking about putting this into my userspace draft: "Personal Observations Made By Meeting Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults". My ultimate goal is to stop blathering about my "idea" to friend and family without feeling my "methodology" is going into any progressive direction whatsoever. My latest encounter was somewhat constructive though. A friend of a friend who worked with people presenting ideas in attempting to getting grants. I don't want a grant. I just want to figure out how I can express my "idea" in a way so that I can more clearly figure out what flaws it got. At the same time I tend to overthink. If anyone thinks etherpad might be a good place and considering Wikimedia already got an etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ if anyone feels like they know me better in the future feel free to suggest a "session" on etherpad. '''If I don't receive a reply to this in 1 week's time I will begin to explore this "idea" into my userspace''' unless you replied and refrained me from doing so, of course. Then maybe after "developing it there" I might reference it to you another future time here in the Colloquium, with my "idea" still in my userspace draft. This "idea" is sort of a burden, I'm happy I've made the choice to get rid of it and hopefully move on with my life, unless there is something to this "idea". My failure is probably evident: I feel I haven't told you anything. Same happened to when I talked to friends and family. In danger of overthinking it further I'll publish this right now.

I concluded that since I've not yet developed a methodology that adheres to "Do no harm" and this is my first time working my "idea" into a way that is compatible with how projects develop on English Wikiversity this is new to me. My methodology isn't developed and therefore trying to get attention to my project through a name can wait. Yesterday I figured out a silly title that has nothing to do with the project: "Planetary Awareness Potato Cabbage Rolls" or something like that. Google output read that no such thing exists so I wanted it mainly to be unique. I don't want to raise attention that I'm unsure whether I'll actually be capable of developing a methodology for but project notes is my best bet so far in tracking my progress.

Is there anyone here who is interested for Neurodiversity to be "something more" than it already is? Does anyone here consider Neurodiversity one of the "harder topics" to work on or discuss? Does anyone here have an opinion about the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]? So these questions don't appear like "out of a vacuum" I can tell you a bit about my background: Many years ago I got a psychiatric diagnosis "Asperger's". After I stepped out of the office and my Äsperger's was 'concluded', I stepped out into the street and thought my first negative thought(but the positive thought followed after). The thought was about concentration camps in the second world war and that the world seemed to be going into the direction of "labeling others". I was unsure whether this was "real science" and sort of "challenged myself" to make up my own mind after meeting people that had been given this diagnosis. The more adults with this diagnosis I met the more I started seeing "patterns". Was it a coincidence that the first person with Asperger's I met reminded me about my father later after I had plenty of times of experience with interacting with him? None of the people I interacted with online through IRC text chat...I felt I got any clue about how "their brains work". Only when I met one person from the Asperger's chat community in person we both realized that whatever we experienced was akin to the "chaos theory". He told me about "chaos theory" while I didn't know even what that term meant but I guess I 'read between the lines'. My question that I linger on still today is "did he understand about me what I think I understood about him?"? That our brains had the same configuration? Most autistic adults who meet other autistic adults usually get disappointed. They think the diagnosis will help them meet somebody like themselves and then they realize the great diversity in the autistic spectrum created by Psychiatry. I later stopped interacting with autistic communities that much, I felt that it did not benefit me. Also Neurodiversity's "neurotypes" interested me for a while until I realized I had "misunderstood everything" about them and how they are used in the Neurodiversity Movement or "Neurodiversity community" if that even can precisely be defined? I doubt it but if you want to contribute to the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]. My previous attempts failed as I got more and more confused. I think a community project needs a community. With a lack of that I don't think it is worth my time. If any of you would like to work on that project let me know on my talk page. So I was kinda lost and was talking to my friend and psychologist and I realized if I never talk about my idea to anyone in a "comprehensive way" or show that it matters to me nothing is going to ever happen. So I started talking about my "idea" more. Nobody could understand the "idea" because I had not developed my skills regarding where to start...although the process had already started "automatically" and that's why I often think of "well my brain sort of activated me". I don't feel like I did have a plan and this idea happened. It happened "by itself". My brain reacted to what I was seeing in a video or stream. I value interaction highly in this idea. I think it would be helpful to make a community of people who are not paranoid about stuff that can express itself like "don't analyze me!", "don't compare me to anyone!". On the contrary, more often than not those adults who were diagnosed were actually openly comparing themselves with each other and I think that is healthy in a "science" way if done the "right way" which probably means "Do no harm". I found video material is important but I'm very unsure if uploading own video material to Wikimedia Commons would constitute a "reasonable" use of the resources there. Maybe somebody here needs to ask more questions to me that I should answer before that happens. I also know the '''be bold''' so I could just do what I think might be ok. Though I work better in a group as long as I know what "group configurations" help me. This is in a non-profit way. Since the state supported me this might be a way I am trying to "give back" to the state and "the world". May seem overly ambitious and crazy but this thing gives me energy. It gives me hope when trying to develop this idea.

I would also propose as far as implemention goes that we would request a new namespace and that the material be more-or-less sequestered into its own ongoing project, like Wikijournal is or like the Cookbook and Wikijunior are at our sister [[:b:]]. :* How does [[Wikinews]] fit with the [[Wikiversity:Mission]]? What aligns well? Where might there be tension? :** e.g., I'm not sure that a page like [[Story/Manchester City moves two points behind Arsenal]] in and of itself will serve as an educational resource. ::*The process of citizen journalists practicing their craft in real-time and collaborating with others to do so is itself an education activity. We would essentially be hosting a real-time experiment in citizen journalism, online communities, and collaborative learning in addition to the prospect of spreading educational information from someone actually reading the news. I would propose that we could also make a more deliberate attempt to engage with learning <em>about</em> what does and doesn't work with collaborative news writing by experimentation (e.g. audio news, syndicating to other sites, incorporating freely-licensed news from other sources, writing hyper-local news, writing briefs versus longer-term reportage) and also seeing if the problems noted in the Task Force report that recommended closure can be overcome. Note that we have already done some local investigation about and learning about wiki-based journalism on Wikinews here at [[Journalism studies and Wikinews]]. We could continue that learning and refine the process, including incorporating journalism students from universities. As for tensions, Wikinews is the only sister project that must be done with a quick turn-around: if you take a long time to [[:s:|transcribe a book]], that's just how long it takes, but if you take a long time to write news, it ceases to be news entirely. Wikiversity has been a very slow-growing project that has definitely had some successes but has generally come together over a long period with most learning resources being individual passion projects (or sometimes, frankly, crankery) which would not work with collaborative news that requires more than just a single editor writing whatever he feels like. ::Please let me know any other questions/concerns and any other editors feel free to give your own perspective. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''<span style="color:black">v</span>f</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 06:13, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::Thanks, Justin — it is food for thought. :::In attempting to understand how we've arrived here, I've summarised some of the background on this page: [[Wikinews]]. :::Perhaps it could be helpful to flesh out more of the vision / ideas / possibilities / challenges on that page? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:49, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::*Having given it some thought, in principle, I support hosting [[citizen journalism]] on Wikiversity where it is clearly connected to a learning project and/or constitutes original research, both of which align strongly with [[Wikiversity:Mission|Wikiversity’s educational mission]]. :::*My chief concern is the potential for news content that is not clearly linked to the purpose of Wikiversity. To avoid this, some community-agreed guidelines would be prudent. These need not be overly restrictive; they should support boldness and experimentation while helping ensure alignment with Wikiversity's purpose. :::*Given the reported low and declining activity on Wikinews, it seems unlikely that English Wikiversity would be overwhelmed by an influx of news-related editing. My impression is that English Wikinews was the most active edition, but even so, many contributors are likely to disperse to other projects or cease editing altogether. A modest migration of interested editors to Wikiversity seems manageable. :::*At this stage, I do not think a dedicated namespace is necessary. Subpages under [[Wikinews]] or nested pages under relevant learning or research projects, or user-space draft pages should be suitable. I agree that [[Wikijournal]] offers a useful model, as do several existing course structures on Wikiversity. :::*I support [[User:Koavf]]’s suggestions about framing Wikinews activity explicitly around learning. This would create a distinctive space for experimenting with collaborative news production in ways that are pedagogically meaningful. I agree that the [[journalism studies and Wikinews]] project developed by David and Leigh Blackall through the University of Wollongong is an excellent example of the intersection between Wikiversity and Wikinews. The [[Wikinews]] page could evolve into a hub for such projects. :::*I've tidied the [[:Category:Wikinews|Wikinews category]] and merged some content into the [[Wikinews]] page. As part of a reinvigoration effort, please review these and related resources such as [[:Category:Journalism]] and [[School:Journalism]]. :::*A further argument in favour of this initiative is that Wikipedia explicitly excludes both news reporting and original research. So, there is value in maintaining spaces within the Wikimedia ecosystem where these forms of knowledge production can be openly developed and curated. Such work can, in turn, generate valuable evidence and source material that may later inform Wikipedia articles. :::*The closure of WMF-hosted Wikinews does not imply that open wiki-based news curation lacks value. Indeed, the closure documentation appears supportive of experimentation with alternative news models across Wikimedia projects, including through Wikipedia and Wikidata. In that context, Wikiversity seems a natural home for a Wikinews experiment, provided it is clearly grounded in learning and/or research. :::-- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:39, 15 May 2026 (UTC) My understanding towards Wikinews' failure is that everything takes too long to be approved for the publish status, which means that any breaking news would have already become days-old stale news.

Thankfully we've done a great job in removing pseudoscience and other embarrassingly trash content (Wikidebates, for example), but the biggest concern moving forward is proper maintenance IMO. I've caught several pseudoscience pages being created within the last few months that could easily have flown under the radar (ex, [[The Kelemen Dilemma: Causal Collapse and Axiomatic Instability]]), so I'd urge our custodians/curators to be on the lookout for this type of content. Usually an AI-overview can point this type of content out relatively well. :In terms of visibility, I believe Wikiversity is a high-traffic project. I remember my [[Mathematical Properties]] showing up on the first page of Google when searching up "math properties" for the longest time (and is still showing up in the first page 'till this day!).

What I've called it so far is "The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea". At other times I used more sensationalist wording but here on Wikiversity I don't dare do that. I actually woke up with thinking about putting this into my userspace draft: "Personal Observations Made By Meeting Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults". My ultimate goal is to stop blathering about my "idea" to friend and family without feeling my "methodology" is going into any progressive direction whatsoever. My latest encounter was somewhat constructive though. A friend of a friend who worked with people presenting ideas in attempting to getting grants. I don't want a grant. I just want to figure out how I can express my "idea" in a way so that I can more clearly figure out what flaws it got. At the same time I tend to overthink. If anyone thinks etherpad might be a good place and considering Wikimedia already got an etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ if anyone feels like they know me better in the future feel free to suggest a "session" on etherpad. '''If I don't receive a reply to this in 1 week's time I will begin to explore this "idea" into my userspace''' unless you replied and refrained me from doing so, of course. Then maybe after "developing it there" I might reference it to you another future time here in the Colloquium, with my "idea" still in my userspace draft. This "idea" is sort of a burden, I'm happy I've made the choice to get rid of it and hopefully move on with my life, unless there is something to this "idea". My failure is probably evident: I feel I haven't told you anything. Same happened to when I talked to friends and family. In danger of overthinking it further I'll publish this right now.

I'd say go for it (no need to wait), give birth to your idea and share about it here and elsewhere. Let it take shape and see where it might go. In many ways, this is exactly what an open collaborative learning community should be doing. Others might not know well how to respond, so perhaps consider creating some questions to accompany the idea.

I concluded that since I've not yet developed a methodology that adheres to "Do no harm" and this is my first time working my "idea" into a way that is compatible with how projects develop on English Wikiversity this is new to me. My methodology isn't developed and therefore trying to get attention to my project through a name can wait. Yesterday I figured out a silly title that has nothing to do with the project: "Planetary Awareness Potato Cabbage Rolls" or something like that. Google output read that no such thing exists so I wanted it mainly to be unique. I don't want to raise attention that I'm unsure whether I'll actually be capable of developing a methodology for but project notes is my best bet so far in tracking my progress.

Is there anyone here who is interested for Neurodiversity to be "something more" than it already is? Does anyone here consider Neurodiversity one of the "harder topics" to work on or discuss? Does anyone here have an opinion about the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]? So these questions don't appear like "out of a vacuum" I can tell you a bit about my background: Many years ago I got a psychiatric diagnosis "Asperger's". After I stepped out of the office and my Äsperger's was 'concluded', I stepped out into the street and thought my first negative thought(but the positive thought followed after). The thought was about concentration camps in the second world war and that the world seemed to be going into the direction of "labeling others". I was unsure whether this was "real science" and sort of "challenged myself" to make up my own mind after meeting people that had been given this diagnosis. The more adults with this diagnosis I met the more I started seeing "patterns". Was it a coincidence that the first person with Asperger's I met reminded me about my father later after I had plenty of times of experience with interacting with him? None of the people I interacted with online through IRC text chat...I felt I got any clue about how "their brains work". Only when I met one person from the Asperger's chat community in person we both realized that whatever we experienced was akin to the "chaos theory". He told me about "chaos theory" while I didn't know even what that term meant but I guess I 'read between the lines'. My question that I linger on still today is "did he understand about me what I think I understood about him?"? That our brains had the same configuration? Most autistic adults who meet other autistic adults usually get disappointed. They think the diagnosis will help them meet somebody like themselves and then they realize the great diversity in the autistic spectrum created by Psychiatry. I later stopped interacting with autistic communities that much, I felt that it did not benefit me. Also Neurodiversity's "neurotypes" interested me for a while until I realized I had "misunderstood everything" about them and how they are used in the Neurodiversity Movement or "Neurodiversity community" if that even can precisely be defined? I doubt it but if you want to contribute to the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]. My previous attempts failed as I got more and more confused. I think a community project needs a community. With a lack of that I don't think it is worth my time. If any of you would like to work on that project let me know on my talk page. So I was kinda lost and was talking to my friend and psychologist and I realized if I never talk about my idea to anyone in a "comprehensive way" or show that it matters to me nothing is going to ever happen. So I started talking about my "idea" more. Nobody could understand the "idea" because I had not developed my skills regarding where to start...although the process had already started "automatically" and that's why I often think of "well my brain sort of activated me". I don't feel like I did have a plan and this idea happened. It happened "by itself". My brain reacted to what I was seeing in a video or stream. I value interaction highly in this idea. I think it would be helpful to make a community of people who are not paranoid about stuff that can express itself like "don't analyze me!", "don't compare me to anyone!". On the contrary, more often than not those adults who were diagnosed were actually openly comparing themselves with each other and I think that is healthy in a "science" way if done the "right way" which probably means "Do no harm". I found video material is important but I'm very unsure if uploading own video material to Wikimedia Commons would constitute a "reasonable" use of the resources there. Maybe somebody here needs to ask more questions to me that I should answer before that happens. I also know the '''be bold''' so I could just do what I think might be ok. Though I work better in a group as long as I know what "group configurations" help me. This is in a non-profit way. Since the state supported me this might be a way I am trying to "give back" to the state and "the world". May seem overly ambitious and crazy but this thing gives me energy. It gives me hope when trying to develop this idea.

I am requesting interface administrator access on this wiki. The main reasoning is that I would benefit from having the user right <code>editinterface</code>, which would allow me to make dark mode changes to pages in the MediaWiki namespace, add <code><nowiki><div class="mw-parser-output"></nowiki></code> to some interface pages using templates, handle interface-protected edit requests, and similar stuff. Additionally, I have some knowledge of CSS, and I would like to assist with modifying CSS pages whenever necessary, such as moving MediaWiki common.css code to TemplateStyles CSS pages. I am requesting the maximum time that is allowed per the [[Wikiversity:Interface administrators|policy]], and I have 2FA enabled on my account. Thank you.

I would also propose as far as implemention goes that we would request a new namespace and that the material be more-or-less sequestered into its own ongoing project, like Wikijournal is or like the Cookbook and Wikijunior are at our sister [[:b:]]. :* How does [[Wikinews]] fit with the [[Wikiversity:Mission]]? What aligns well? Where might there be tension? :** e.g., I'm not sure that a page like [[Story/Manchester City moves two points behind Arsenal]] in and of itself will serve as an educational resource. ::*The process of citizen journalists practicing their craft in real-time and collaborating with others to do so is itself an education activity. We would essentially be hosting a real-time experiment in citizen journalism, online communities, and collaborative learning in addition to the prospect of spreading educational information from someone actually reading the news. I would propose that we could also make a more deliberate attempt to engage with learning <em>about</em> what does and doesn't work with collaborative news writing by experimentation (e.g. audio news, syndicating to other sites, incorporating freely-licensed news from other sources, writing hyper-local news, writing briefs versus longer-term reportage) and also seeing if the problems noted in the Task Force report that recommended closure can be overcome. Note that we have already done some local investigation about and learning about wiki-based journalism on Wikinews here at [[Journalism studies and Wikinews]]. We could continue that learning and refine the process, including incorporating journalism students from universities. As for tensions, Wikinews is the only sister project that must be done with a quick turn-around: if you take a long time to [[:s:|transcribe a book]], that's just how long it takes, but if you take a long time to write news, it ceases to be news entirely. Wikiversity has been a very slow-growing project that has definitely had some successes but has generally come together over a long period with most learning resources being individual passion projects (or sometimes, frankly, crankery) which would not work with collaborative news that requires more than just a single editor writing whatever he feels like. ::Please let me know any other questions/concerns and any other editors feel free to give your own perspective. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''<span style="color:black">v</span>f</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 06:13, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::Thanks, Justin — it is food for thought. :::In attempting to understand how we've arrived here, I've summarised some of the background on this page: [[Wikinews]]. :::Perhaps it could be helpful to flesh out more of the vision / ideas / possibilities / challenges on that page? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:49, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::*Having given it some thought, in principle, I support hosting [[citizen journalism]] on Wikiversity where it is clearly connected to a learning project and/or constitutes original research, both of which align strongly with [[Wikiversity:Mission|Wikiversity’s educational mission]]. :::*My chief concern is the potential for news content that is not clearly linked to the purpose of Wikiversity. To avoid this, some community-agreed guidelines would be prudent. These need not be overly restrictive; they should support boldness and experimentation while helping ensure alignment with Wikiversity's purpose. :::*Given the reported low and declining activity on Wikinews, it seems unlikely that English Wikiversity would be overwhelmed by an influx of news-related editing. My impression is that English Wikinews was the most active edition, but even so, many contributors are likely to disperse to other projects or cease editing altogether. A modest migration of interested editors to Wikiversity seems manageable. :::*At this stage, I do not think a dedicated namespace is necessary. Subpages under [[Wikinews]] or nested pages under relevant learning or research projects, or user-space draft pages should be suitable. I agree that [[Wikijournal]] offers a useful model, as do several existing course structures on Wikiversity. :::*I support [[User:Koavf]]’s suggestions about framing Wikinews activity explicitly around learning. This would create a distinctive space for experimenting with collaborative news production in ways that are pedagogically meaningful. I agree that the [[journalism studies and Wikinews]] project developed by David and Leigh Blackall through the University of Wollongong is an excellent example of the intersection between Wikiversity and Wikinews. The [[Wikinews]] page could evolve into a hub for such projects. :::*I've tidied the [[:Category:Wikinews|Wikinews category]] and merged some content into the [[Wikinews]] page. As part of a reinvigoration effort, please review these and related resources such as [[:Category:Journalism]] and [[School:Journalism]]. :::*A further argument in favour of this initiative is that Wikipedia explicitly excludes both news reporting and original research. So, there is value in maintaining spaces within the Wikimedia ecosystem where these forms of knowledge production can be openly developed and curated. Such work can, in turn, generate valuable evidence and source material that may later inform Wikipedia articles. :::*The closure of WMF-hosted Wikinews does not imply that open wiki-based news curation lacks value. Indeed, the closure documentation appears supportive of experimentation with alternative news models across Wikimedia projects, including through Wikipedia and Wikidata. In that context, Wikiversity seems a natural home for a Wikinews experiment, provided it is clearly grounded in learning and/or research. :::-- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:39, 15 May 2026 (UTC) My understanding towards Wikinews' failure is that everything takes too long to be approved for the publish status, which means that any breaking news would have already become days-old stale news.

Thankfully we've done a great job in removing pseudoscience and other embarrassingly trash content (Wikidebates, for example), but the biggest concern moving forward is proper maintenance IMO. I've caught several pseudoscience pages being created within the last few months that could easily have flown under the radar (ex, [[The Kelemen Dilemma: Causal Collapse and Axiomatic Instability]]), so I'd urge our custodians/curators to be on the lookout for this type of content. Usually an AI-overview can point this type of content out relatively well. :In terms of visibility, I believe Wikiversity is a high-traffic project. I remember my [[Mathematical Properties]] showing up on the first page of Google when searching up "math properties" for the longest time (and is still showing up in the first page 'till this day!).

What I've called it so far is "The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea". At other times I used more sensationalist wording but here on Wikiversity I don't dare do that. I actually woke up with thinking about putting this into my userspace draft: "Personal Observations Made By Meeting Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults". My ultimate goal is to stop blathering about my "idea" to friend and family without feeling my "methodology" is going into any progressive direction whatsoever. My latest encounter was somewhat constructive though. A friend of a friend who worked with people presenting ideas in attempting to getting grants. I don't want a grant. I just want to figure out how I can express my "idea" in a way so that I can more clearly figure out what flaws it got. At the same time I tend to overthink. If anyone thinks etherpad might be a good place and considering Wikimedia already got an etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ if anyone feels like they know me better in the future feel free to suggest a "session" on etherpad. '''If I don't receive a reply to this in 1 week's time I will begin to explore this "idea" into my userspace''' unless you replied and refrained me from doing so, of course. Then maybe after "developing it there" I might reference it to you another future time here in the Colloquium, with my "idea" still in my userspace draft. This "idea" is sort of a burden, I'm happy I've made the choice to get rid of it and hopefully move on with my life, unless there is something to this "idea". My failure is probably evident: I feel I haven't told you anything. Same happened to when I talked to friends and family. In danger of overthinking it further I'll publish this right now.

My methodology isn't developed and therefore trying to get attention to my project through a name can wait. Yesterday I figured out a silly title that has nothing to do with the project: "Planetary Awareness Potato Cabbage Rolls" or something like that. Google output read that no such thing exists so I wanted it mainly to be unique.

Is there anyone here who is interested for Neurodiversity to be "something more" than it already is? Does anyone here consider Neurodiversity one of the "harder topics" to work on or discuss? Does anyone here have an opinion about the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]? So these questions don't appear like "out of a vacuum" I can tell you a bit about my background: Many years ago I got a psychiatric diagnosis "Asperger's". After I stepped out of the office and my Äsperger's was 'concluded', I stepped out into the street and thought my first negative thought(but the positive thought followed after). The thought was about concentration camps in the second world war and that the world seemed to be going into the direction of "labeling others". I was unsure whether this was "real science" and sort of "challenged myself" to make up my own mind after meeting people that had been given this diagnosis. The more adults with this diagnosis I met the more I started seeing "patterns". Was it a coincidence that the first person with Asperger's I met reminded me about my father later after I had plenty of times of experience with interacting with him? None of the people I interacted with online through IRC text chat...I felt I got any clue about how "their brains work". Only when I met one person from the Asperger's chat community in person we both realized that whatever we experienced was akin to the "chaos theory". He told me about "chaos theory" while I didn't know even what that term meant but I guess I 'read between the lines'. My question that I linger on still today is "did he understand about me what I think I understood about him?"? That our brains had the same configuration? Most autistic adults who meet other autistic adults usually get disappointed. They think the diagnosis will help them meet somebody like themselves and then they realize the great diversity in the autistic spectrum created by Psychiatry. I later stopped interacting with autistic communities that much, I felt that it did not benefit me. Also Neurodiversity's "neurotypes" interested me for a while until I realized I had "misunderstood everything" about them and how they are used in the Neurodiversity Movement or "Neurodiversity community" if that even can precisely be defined? I doubt it but if you want to contribute to the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]. My previous attempts failed as I got more and more confused. I think a community project needs a community. With a lack of that I don't think it is worth my time. If any of you would like to work on that project let me know on my talk page. So I was kinda lost and was talking to my friend and psychologist and I realized if I never talk about my idea to anyone in a "comprehensive way" or show that it matters to me nothing is going to ever happen. So I started talking about my "idea" more. Nobody could understand the "idea" because I had not developed my skills regarding where to start...although the process had already started "automatically" and that's why I often think of "well my brain sort of activated me". I don't feel like I did have a plan and this idea happened. It happened "by itself". My brain reacted to what I was seeing in a video or stream. I value interaction highly in this idea. I think it would be helpful to make a community of people who are not paranoid about stuff that can express itself like "don't analyze me!", "don't compare me to anyone!". On the contrary, more often than not those adults who were diagnosed were actually openly comparing themselves with each other and I think that is healthy in a "science" way if done the "right way" which probably means "Do no harm". I found video material is important but I'm very unsure if uploading own video material to Wikimedia Commons would constitute a "reasonable" use of the resources there. Maybe somebody here needs to ask more questions to me that I should answer before that happens. I also know the '''be bold''' so I could just do what I think might be ok. Though I work better in a group as long as I know what "group configurations" help me. This is in a non-profit way. Since the state supported me this might be a way I am trying to "give back" to the state and "the world". May seem overly ambitious and crazy but this thing gives me energy. It gives me hope when trying to develop this idea.

I am requesting the maximum time that is allowed per the [[Wikiversity:Interface administrators|policy]], and I have 2FA enabled on my account. Thank you.

I would also propose as far as implemention goes that we would request a new namespace and that the material be more-or-less sequestered into its own ongoing project, like Wikijournal is or like the Cookbook and Wikijunior are at our sister [[:b:]]. :* How does [[Wikinews]] fit with the [[Wikiversity:Mission]]? What aligns well? Where might there be tension? :** e.g., I'm not sure that a page like [[Story/Manchester City moves two points behind Arsenal]] in and of itself will serve as an educational resource. ::*The process of citizen journalists practicing their craft in real-time and collaborating with others to do so is itself an education activity. We would essentially be hosting a real-time experiment in citizen journalism, online communities, and collaborative learning in addition to the prospect of spreading educational information from someone actually reading the news. I would propose that we could also make a more deliberate attempt to engage with learning <em>about</em> what does and doesn't work with collaborative news writing by experimentation (e.g. audio news, syndicating to other sites, incorporating freely-licensed news from other sources, writing hyper-local news, writing briefs versus longer-term reportage) and also seeing if the problems noted in the Task Force report that recommended closure can be overcome. Note that we have already done some local investigation about and learning about wiki-based journalism on Wikinews here at [[Journalism studies and Wikinews]]. We could continue that learning and refine the process, including incorporating journalism students from universities. As for tensions, Wikinews is the only sister project that must be done with a quick turn-around: if you take a long time to [[:s:|transcribe a book]], that's just how long it takes, but if you take a long time to write news, it ceases to be news entirely. Wikiversity has been a very slow-growing project that has definitely had some successes but has generally come together over a long period with most learning resources being individual passion projects (or sometimes, frankly, crankery) which would not work with collaborative news that requires more than just a single editor writing whatever he feels like. ::Please let me know any other questions/concerns and any other editors feel free to give your own perspective. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''<span style="color:black">v</span>f</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 06:13, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::Thanks, Justin — it is food for thought. :::In attempting to understand how we've arrived here, I've summarised some of the background on this page: [[Wikinews]]. :::Perhaps it could be helpful to flesh out more of the vision / ideas / possibilities / challenges on that page? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:49, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::*Having given it some thought, in principle, I support hosting [[citizen journalism]] on Wikiversity where it is clearly connected to a learning project and/or constitutes original research, both of which align strongly with [[Wikiversity:Mission|Wikiversity’s educational mission]]. :::*My chief concern is the potential for news content that is not clearly linked to the purpose of Wikiversity. To avoid this, some community-agreed guidelines would be prudent. These need not be overly restrictive; they should support boldness and experimentation while helping ensure alignment with Wikiversity's purpose. :::*Given the reported low and declining activity on Wikinews, it seems unlikely that English Wikiversity would be overwhelmed by an influx of news-related editing. My impression is that English Wikinews was the most active edition, but even so, many contributors are likely to disperse to other projects or cease editing altogether. A modest migration of interested editors to Wikiversity seems manageable. :::*At this stage, I do not think a dedicated namespace is necessary. Subpages under [[Wikinews]] or nested pages under relevant learning or research projects, or user-space draft pages should be suitable. I agree that [[Wikijournal]] offers a useful model, as do several existing course structures on Wikiversity. :::*I support [[User:Koavf]]’s suggestions about framing Wikinews activity explicitly around learning. This would create a distinctive space for experimenting with collaborative news production in ways that are pedagogically meaningful. I agree that the [[journalism studies and Wikinews]] project developed by David and Leigh Blackall through the University of Wollongong is an excellent example of the intersection between Wikiversity and Wikinews. The [[Wikinews]] page could evolve into a hub for such projects. :::*I've tidied the [[:Category:Wikinews|Wikinews category]] and merged some content into the [[Wikinews]] page. As part of a reinvigoration effort, please review these and related resources such as [[:Category:Journalism]] and [[School:Journalism]]. :::*A further argument in favour of this initiative is that Wikipedia explicitly excludes both news reporting and original research. So, there is value in maintaining spaces within the Wikimedia ecosystem where these forms of knowledge production can be openly developed and curated. Such work can, in turn, generate valuable evidence and source material that may later inform Wikipedia articles. :::*The closure of WMF-hosted Wikinews does not imply that open wiki-based news curation lacks value. Indeed, the closure documentation appears supportive of experimentation with alternative news models across Wikimedia projects, including through Wikipedia and Wikidata. In that context, Wikiversity seems a natural home for a Wikinews experiment, provided it is clearly grounded in learning and/or research. :::-- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:39, 15 May 2026 (UTC) My understanding towards Wikinews' failure is that everything takes too long to be approved for the publish status, which means that any breaking news would have already become days-old stale news.

Thankfully we've done a great job in removing pseudoscience and other embarrassingly trash content (Wikidebates, for example), but the biggest concern moving forward is proper maintenance IMO. I've caught several pseudoscience pages being created within the last few months that could easily have flown under the radar (ex, [[The Kelemen Dilemma: Causal Collapse and Axiomatic Instability]]), so I'd urge our custodians/curators to be on the lookout for this type of content. Usually an AI-overview can point this type of content out relatively well. :In terms of visibility, I believe Wikiversity is a high-traffic project. I remember my [[Mathematical Properties]] showing up on the first page of Google when searching up "math properties" for the longest time (and is still showing up in the first page 'till this day!).

What I've called it so far is "The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea". At other times I used more sensationalist wording but here on Wikiversity I don't dare do that. I actually woke up with thinking about putting this into my userspace draft: "Personal Observations Made By Meeting Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults". My ultimate goal is to stop blathering about my "idea" to friend and family without feeling my "methodology" is going into any progressive direction whatsoever. My latest encounter was somewhat constructive though. A friend of a friend who worked with people presenting ideas in attempting to getting grants. I don't want a grant. I just want to figure out how I can express my "idea" in a way so that I can more clearly figure out what flaws it got. At the same time I tend to overthink. If anyone thinks etherpad might be a good place and considering Wikimedia already got an etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ if anyone feels like they know me better in the future feel free to suggest a "session" on etherpad. '''If I don't receive a reply to this in 1 week's time I will begin to explore this "idea" into my userspace''' unless you replied and refrained me from doing so, of course. Then maybe after "developing it there" I might reference it to you another future time here in the Colloquium, with my "idea" still in my userspace draft. This "idea" is sort of a burden, I'm happy I've made the choice to get rid of it and hopefully move on with my life, unless there is something to this "idea". My failure is probably evident: I feel I haven't told you anything. Same happened to when I talked to friends and family. In danger of overthinking it further I'll publish this right now.

My methodology isn't developed and therefore trying to get attention to my project through a name can wait. Yesterday I figured out a silly title that has nothing to do with the project: "Planetary Awareness Potato Cabbage Rolls" or something like that. Google output read that no such thing exists so I wanted it mainly to be unique.

Is there anyone here who is interested for Neurodiversity to be "something more" than it already is? Does anyone here consider Neurodiversity one of the "harder topics" to work on or discuss? Does anyone here have an opinion about the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]? So these questions don't appear like "out of a vacuum" I can tell you a bit about my background: Many years ago I got a psychiatric diagnosis "Asperger's". After I stepped out of the office and my Äsperger's was 'concluded', I stepped out into the street and thought my first negative thought(but the positive thought followed after). The thought was about concentration camps in the second world war and that the world seemed to be going into the direction of "labeling others". I was unsure whether this was "real science" and sort of "challenged myself" to make up my own mind after meeting people that had been given this diagnosis. The more adults with this diagnosis I met the more I started seeing "patterns". Was it a coincidence that the first person with Asperger's I met reminded me about my father later after I had plenty of times of experience with interacting with him? None of the people I interacted with online through IRC text chat...I felt I got any clue about how "their brains work". Only when I met one person from the Asperger's chat community in person we both realized that whatever we experienced was akin to the "chaos theory". He told me about "chaos theory" while I didn't know even what that term meant but I guess I 'read between the lines'. My question that I linger on still today is "did he understand about me what I think I understood about him?"? That our brains had the same configuration? Most autistic adults who meet other autistic adults usually get disappointed. They think the diagnosis will help them meet somebody like themselves and then they realize the great diversity in the autistic spectrum created by Psychiatry. I later stopped interacting with autistic communities that much, I felt that it did not benefit me. Also Neurodiversity's "neurotypes" interested me for a while until I realized I had "misunderstood everything" about them and how they are used in the Neurodiversity Movement or "Neurodiversity community" if that even can precisely be defined? I doubt it but if you want to contribute to the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]. My previous attempts failed as I got more and more confused. I think a community project needs a community. With a lack of that I don't think it is worth my time. If any of you would like to work on that project let me know on my talk page. So I was kinda lost and was talking to my friend and psychologist and I realized if I never talk about my idea to anyone in a "comprehensive way" or show that it matters to me nothing is going to ever happen. So I started talking about my "idea" more. Nobody could understand the "idea" because I had not developed my skills regarding where to start...although the process had already started "automatically" and that's why I often think of "well my brain sort of activated me". I don't feel like I did have a plan and this idea happened. It happened "by itself". My brain reacted to what I was seeing in a video or stream. I value interaction highly in this idea. I think it would be helpful to make a community of people who are not paranoid about stuff that can express itself like "don't analyze me!", "don't compare me to anyone!". On the contrary, more often than not those adults who were diagnosed were actually openly comparing themselves with each other and I think that is healthy in a "science" way if done the "right way" which probably means "Do no harm". I found video material is important but I'm very unsure if uploading own video material to Wikimedia Commons would constitute a "reasonable" use of the resources there. Maybe somebody here needs to ask more questions to me that I should answer before that happens. I also know the '''be bold''' so I could just do what I think might be ok. Though I work better in a group as long as I know what "group configurations" help me. This is in a non-profit way. Since the state supported me this might be a way I am trying to "give back" to the state and "the world". May seem overly ambitious and crazy but this thing gives me energy. It gives me hope when trying to develop this idea.

I am requesting the maximum time that is allowed per the [[Wikiversity:Interface administrators|policy]], and I have 2FA enabled on my account. Thank you.

I would also propose as far as implemention goes that we would request a new namespace and that the material be more-or-less sequestered into its own ongoing project, like Wikijournal is or like the Cookbook and Wikijunior are at our sister [[:b:]]. :* How does [[Wikinews]] fit with the [[Wikiversity:Mission]]? What aligns well? Where might there be tension? :** e.g., I'm not sure that a page like [[Story/Manchester City moves two points behind Arsenal]] in and of itself will serve as an educational resource. ::*The process of citizen journalists practicing their craft in real-time and collaborating with others to do so is itself an education activity. We would essentially be hosting a real-time experiment in citizen journalism, online communities, and collaborative learning in addition to the prospect of spreading educational information from someone actually reading the news. I would propose that we could also make a more deliberate attempt to engage with learning <em>about</em> what does and doesn't work with collaborative news writing by experimentation (e.g. audio news, syndicating to other sites, incorporating freely-licensed news from other sources, writing hyper-local news, writing briefs versus longer-term reportage) and also seeing if the problems noted in the Task Force report that recommended closure can be overcome. Note that we have already done some local investigation about and learning about wiki-based journalism on Wikinews here at [[Journalism studies and Wikinews]]. We could continue that learning and refine the process, including incorporating journalism students from universities. As for tensions, Wikinews is the only sister project that must be done with a quick turn-around: if you take a long time to [[:s:|transcribe a book]], that's just how long it takes, but if you take a long time to write news, it ceases to be news entirely. Wikiversity has been a very slow-growing project that has definitely had some successes but has generally come together over a long period with most learning resources being individual passion projects (or sometimes, frankly, crankery) which would not work with collaborative news that requires more than just a single editor writing whatever he feels like. ::Please let me know any other questions/concerns and any other editors feel free to give your own perspective. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''<span style="color:black">v</span>f</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 06:13, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::Thanks, Justin — it is food for thought. :::In attempting to understand how we've arrived here, I've summarised some of the background on this page: [[Wikinews]]. :::Perhaps it could be helpful to flesh out more of the vision / ideas / possibilities / challenges on that page? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:49, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::*Having given it some thought, in principle, I support hosting [[citizen journalism]] on Wikiversity where it is clearly connected to a learning project and/or constitutes original research, both of which align strongly with [[Wikiversity:Mission|Wikiversity’s educational mission]]. :::*My chief concern is the potential for news content that is not clearly linked to the purpose of Wikiversity. To avoid this, some community-agreed guidelines would be prudent. These need not be overly restrictive; they should support boldness and experimentation while helping ensure alignment with Wikiversity's purpose. :::*Given the reported low and declining activity on Wikinews, it seems unlikely that English Wikiversity would be overwhelmed by an influx of news-related editing. My impression is that English Wikinews was the most active edition, but even so, many contributors are likely to disperse to other projects or cease editing altogether. A modest migration of interested editors to Wikiversity seems manageable. :::*At this stage, I do not think a dedicated namespace is necessary. Subpages under [[Wikinews]] or nested pages under relevant learning or research projects, or user-space draft pages should be suitable. I agree that [[Wikijournal]] offers a useful model, as do several existing course structures on Wikiversity. :::*I support [[User:Koavf]]’s suggestions about framing Wikinews activity explicitly around learning. This would create a distinctive space for experimenting with collaborative news production in ways that are pedagogically meaningful. I agree that the [[journalism studies and Wikinews]] project developed by David and Leigh Blackall through the University of Wollongong is an excellent example of the intersection between Wikiversity and Wikinews. The [[Wikinews]] page could evolve into a hub for such projects. :::*I've tidied the [[:Category:Wikinews|Wikinews category]] and merged some content into the [[Wikinews]] page. As part of a reinvigoration effort, please review these and related resources such as [[:Category:Journalism]] and [[School:Journalism]]. :::*A further argument in favour of this initiative is that Wikipedia explicitly excludes both news reporting and original research. So, there is value in maintaining spaces within the Wikimedia ecosystem where these forms of knowledge production can be openly developed and curated. Such work can, in turn, generate valuable evidence and source material that may later inform Wikipedia articles. :::*The closure of WMF-hosted Wikinews does not imply that open wiki-based news curation lacks value. Indeed, the closure documentation appears supportive of experimentation with alternative news models across Wikimedia projects, including through Wikipedia and Wikidata. In that context, Wikiversity seems a natural home for a Wikinews experiment, provided it is clearly grounded in learning and/or research. :::-- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:39, 15 May 2026 (UTC) My understanding towards Wikinews' failure is that everything takes too long to be approved for the publish status, which means that any breaking news would have already become days-old stale news.

Thankfully we've done a great job in removing pseudoscience and other embarrassingly trash content (Wikidebates, for example), but the biggest concern moving forward is proper maintenance IMO. I've caught several pseudoscience pages being created within the last few months that could easily have flown under the radar (ex, [[The Kelemen Dilemma: Causal Collapse and Axiomatic Instability]]), so I'd urge our custodians/curators to be on the lookout for this type of content. Usually an AI-overview can point this type of content out relatively well. :In terms of visibility, I believe Wikiversity is a high-traffic project. I remember my [[Mathematical Properties]] showing up on the first page of Google when searching up "math properties" for the longest time (and is still showing up in the first page 'till this day!).

What I've called it so far is "The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea". At other times I used more sensationalist wording but here on Wikiversity I don't dare do that. I actually woke up with thinking about putting this into my userspace draft: "Personal Observations Made By Meeting Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults". My ultimate goal is to stop blathering about my "idea" to friend and family without feeling my "methodology" is going into any progressive direction whatsoever. My latest encounter was somewhat constructive though. A friend of a friend who worked with people presenting ideas in attempting to getting grants. I don't want a grant. I just want to figure out how I can express my "idea" in a way so that I can more clearly figure out what flaws it got. At the same time I tend to overthink. If anyone thinks etherpad might be a good place and considering Wikimedia already got an etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ if anyone feels like they know me better in the future feel free to suggest a "session" on etherpad. '''If I don't receive a reply to this in 1 week's time I will begin to explore this "idea" into my userspace''' unless you replied and refrained me from doing so, of course. Then maybe after "developing it there" I might reference it to you another future time here in the Colloquium, with my "idea" still in my userspace draft. This "idea" is sort of a burden, I'm happy I've made the choice to get rid of it and hopefully move on with my life, unless there is something to this "idea". My failure is probably evident: I feel I haven't told you anything. Same happened to when I talked to friends and family. In danger of overthinking it further I'll publish this right now.

My methodology isn't developed and therefore trying to get attention to my project through a name can wait. Yesterday I figured out a silly title that has nothing to do with the project: "Planetary Awareness Potato Cabbage Rolls" or something like that. Google output read that no such thing exists so I wanted it mainly to be unique. I don't want to raise attention that I'm unsure whether I'll actually be capable of developing a methodology for but project notes is my best bet so far in tracking my progress.

Is there anyone here who is interested for Neurodiversity to be "something more" than it already is? Does anyone here consider Neurodiversity one of the "harder topics" to work on or discuss? Does anyone here have an opinion about the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]? So these questions don't appear like "out of a vacuum" I can tell you a bit about my background: Many years ago I got a psychiatric diagnosis "Asperger's". After I stepped out of the office and my Äsperger's was 'concluded', I stepped out into the street and thought my first negative thought(but the positive thought followed after). The thought was about concentration camps in the second world war and that the world seemed to be going into the direction of "labeling others". I was unsure whether this was "real science" and sort of "challenged myself" to make up my own mind after meeting people that had been given this diagnosis. The more adults with this diagnosis I met the more I started seeing "patterns". Was it a coincidence that the first person with Asperger's I met reminded me about my father later after I had plenty of times of experience with interacting with him? None of the people I interacted with online through IRC text chat...I felt I got any clue about how "their brains work". Only when I met one person from the Asperger's chat community in person we both realized that whatever we experienced was akin to the "chaos theory". He told me about "chaos theory" while I didn't know even what that term meant but I guess I 'read between the lines'. My question that I linger on still today is "did he understand about me what I think I understood about him?"? That our brains had the same configuration? Most autistic adults who meet other autistic adults usually get disappointed. They think the diagnosis will help them meet somebody like themselves and then they realize the great diversity in the autistic spectrum created by Psychiatry. I later stopped interacting with autistic communities that much, I felt that it did not benefit me. Also Neurodiversity's "neurotypes" interested me for a while until I realized I had "misunderstood everything" about them and how they are used in the Neurodiversity Movement or "Neurodiversity community" if that even can precisely be defined? I doubt it but if you want to contribute to the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]. My previous attempts failed as I got more and more confused. I think a community project needs a community. With a lack of that I don't think it is worth my time. If any of you would like to work on that project let me know on my talk page. So I was kinda lost and was talking to my friend and psychologist and I realized if I never talk about my idea to anyone in a "comprehensive way" or show that it matters to me nothing is going to ever happen. So I started talking about my "idea" more. Nobody could understand the "idea" because I had not developed my skills regarding where to start...although the process had already started "automatically" and that's why I often think of "well my brain sort of activated me". I don't feel like I did have a plan and this idea happened. It happened "by itself". My brain reacted to what I was seeing in a video or stream. I value interaction highly in this idea. I think it would be helpful to make a community of people who are not paranoid about stuff that can express itself like "don't analyze me!", "don't compare me to anyone!". On the contrary, more often than not those adults who were diagnosed were actually openly comparing themselves with each other and I think that is healthy in a "science" way if done the "right way" which probably means "Do no harm". I found video material is important but I'm very unsure if uploading own video material to Wikimedia Commons would constitute a "reasonable" use of the resources there. Maybe somebody here needs to ask more questions to me that I should answer before that happens. I also know the '''be bold''' so I could just do what I think might be ok. Though I work better in a group as long as I know what "group configurations" help me. This is in a non-profit way. Since the state supported me this might be a way I am trying to "give back" to the state and "the world". May seem overly ambitious and crazy but this thing gives me energy. It gives me hope when trying to develop this idea.

The main reasoning is that I would benefit from having the user right <code>editinterface</code>, which would allow me to make dark mode changes to pages in the MediaWiki namespace, add <code><nowiki><div class="mw-parser-output"></nowiki></code> to some interface pages using templates, handle interface-protected edit requests, and similar stuff. Additionally, I have some knowledge of CSS, and I would like to assist with modifying CSS pages whenever necessary, such as moving MediaWiki common.css code to TemplateStyles CSS pages. I am requesting the maximum time that is allowed per the [[Wikiversity:Interface administrators|policy]], and I have 2FA enabled on my account. Thank you.

I would also propose as far as implemention goes that we would request a new namespace and that the material be more-or-less sequestered into its own ongoing project, like Wikijournal is or like the Cookbook and Wikijunior are at our sister [[:b:]]. :* How does [[Wikinews]] fit with the [[Wikiversity:Mission]]? What aligns well? Where might there be tension? :** e.g., I'm not sure that a page like [[Story/Manchester City moves two points behind Arsenal]] in and of itself will serve as an educational resource. ::*The process of citizen journalists practicing their craft in real-time and collaborating with others to do so is itself an education activity. We would essentially be hosting a real-time experiment in citizen journalism, online communities, and collaborative learning in addition to the prospect of spreading educational information from someone actually reading the news. I would propose that we could also make a more deliberate attempt to engage with learning <em>about</em> what does and doesn't work with collaborative news writing by experimentation (e.g. audio news, syndicating to other sites, incorporating freely-licensed news from other sources, writing hyper-local news, writing briefs versus longer-term reportage) and also seeing if the problems noted in the Task Force report that recommended closure can be overcome. Note that we have already done some local investigation about and learning about wiki-based journalism on Wikinews here at [[Journalism studies and Wikinews]]. We could continue that learning and refine the process, including incorporating journalism students from universities. As for tensions, Wikinews is the only sister project that must be done with a quick turn-around: if you take a long time to [[:s:|transcribe a book]], that's just how long it takes, but if you take a long time to write news, it ceases to be news entirely. Wikiversity has been a very slow-growing project that has definitely had some successes but has generally come together over a long period with most learning resources being individual passion projects (or sometimes, frankly, crankery) which would not work with collaborative news that requires more than just a single editor writing whatever he feels like. ::Please let me know any other questions/concerns and any other editors feel free to give your own perspective. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''<span style="color:black">v</span>f</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 06:13, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::Thanks, Justin — it is food for thought. :::In attempting to understand how we've arrived here, I've summarised some of the background on this page: [[Wikinews]]. :::Perhaps it could be helpful to flesh out more of the vision / ideas / possibilities / challenges on that page? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:49, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::*Having given it some thought, in principle, I support hosting [[citizen journalism]] on Wikiversity where it is clearly connected to a learning project and/or constitutes original research, both of which align strongly with [[Wikiversity:Mission|Wikiversity’s educational mission]]. :::*My chief concern is the potential for news content that is not clearly linked to the purpose of Wikiversity. To avoid this, some community-agreed guidelines would be prudent. These need not be overly restrictive; they should support boldness and experimentation while helping ensure alignment with Wikiversity's purpose. :::*Given the reported low and declining activity on Wikinews, it seems unlikely that English Wikiversity would be overwhelmed by an influx of news-related editing. My impression is that English Wikinews was the most active edition, but even so, many contributors are likely to disperse to other projects or cease editing altogether. A modest migration of interested editors to Wikiversity seems manageable. :::*At this stage, I do not think a dedicated namespace is necessary. Subpages under [[Wikinews]] or nested pages under relevant learning or research projects, or user-space draft pages should be suitable. I agree that [[Wikijournal]] offers a useful model, as do several existing course structures on Wikiversity. :::*I support [[User:Koavf]]’s suggestions about framing Wikinews activity explicitly around learning. This would create a distinctive space for experimenting with collaborative news production in ways that are pedagogically meaningful. I agree that the [[journalism studies and Wikinews]] project developed by David and Leigh Blackall through the University of Wollongong is an excellent example of the intersection between Wikiversity and Wikinews. The [[Wikinews]] page could evolve into a hub for such projects. :::*I've tidied the [[:Category:Wikinews|Wikinews category]] and merged some content into the [[Wikinews]] page. As part of a reinvigoration effort, please review these and related resources such as [[:Category:Journalism]] and [[School:Journalism]]. :::*A further argument in favour of this initiative is that Wikipedia explicitly excludes both news reporting and original research. So, there is value in maintaining spaces within the Wikimedia ecosystem where these forms of knowledge production can be openly developed and curated. Such work can, in turn, generate valuable evidence and source material that may later inform Wikipedia articles. :::*The closure of WMF-hosted Wikinews does not imply that open wiki-based news curation lacks value. Indeed, the closure documentation appears supportive of experimentation with alternative news models across Wikimedia projects, including through Wikipedia and Wikidata. In that context, Wikiversity seems a natural home for a Wikinews experiment, provided it is clearly grounded in learning and/or research. :::-- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:39, 15 May 2026 (UTC) My understanding towards Wikinews' failure is that everything takes too long to be approved for the publish status, which means that any breaking news would have already become days-old stale news.

Thankfully we've done a great job in removing pseudoscience and other embarrassingly trash content (Wikidebates, for example), but the biggest concern moving forward is proper maintenance IMO. I've caught several pseudoscience pages being created within the last few months that could easily have flown under the radar (ex, [[The Kelemen Dilemma: Causal Collapse and Axiomatic Instability]]), so I'd urge our custodians/curators to be on the lookout for this type of content. Usually an AI-overview can point this type of content out relatively well. :In terms of visibility, I believe Wikiversity is a high-traffic project. I remember my [[Mathematical Properties]] showing up on the first page of Google when searching up "math properties" for the longest time (and is still showing up in the first page 'till this day!). Besides, Wikinews hosted a lot of short-term content (the nature of news articles), while Wikiversity hosts content that can still be useful a decade later (ex, [[A Reader's Guide to Annotation]]). :I think we are on a better path than we were a few months ago, and I do want to thank everyone here who has been helping out with maintaining our website! —[[User:Atcovi|Atcovi]] [[User talk:Atcovi|(Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Atcovi|Contribs)]] 20:48, 1 April 2026 (UTC) :For what it's worth, the group that did that study has since disbanded, so no one is monitoring the other sister projects in the same way.

Your questions are still worth addressing, but I just wanted to cut off any concern at the pass about Wikiversity being in the same precarious situation. Wikiversity is definitely the biggest "lagging behind" or "failure" project now that Wikinews is being shuttered, but I don't see any near- or medium-term pathway to closing Wikiversity. —[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''vf</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 00:46, 2 April 2026 (UTC) :[[w:en:Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2026-03-31/News and notes|Entirety of Wikinews to be shut down]] (Wikipedia Signpost) -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 02:03, 11 April 2026 (UTC) == Action Required: Update templates/modules for electoral maps (Migrating from P1846 to P14226) == Hello everyone, This is a notice regarding an ongoing data migration on Wikidata that may affect your election-related templates and Lua modules (such as <code>Module:Itemgroup/list</code>).

What I've called it so far is "The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea". At other times I used more sensationalist wording but here on Wikiversity I don't dare do that. I actually woke up with thinking about putting this into my userspace draft: "Personal Observations Made By Meeting Autistic and Non-Autistic Adults". My ultimate goal is to stop blathering about my "idea" to friend and family without feeling my "methodology" is going into any progressive direction whatsoever. My latest encounter was somewhat constructive though. A friend of a friend who worked with people presenting ideas in attempting to getting grants. I don't want a grant. I just want to figure out how I can express my "idea" in a way so that I can more clearly figure out what flaws it got. At the same time I tend to overthink. If anyone thinks etherpad might be a good place and considering Wikimedia already got an etherpad at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/ if anyone feels like they know me better in the future feel free to suggest a "session" on etherpad. '''If I don't receive a reply to this in 1 week's time I will begin to explore this "idea" into my userspace''' unless you replied and refrained me from doing so, of course. Then maybe after "developing it there" I might reference it to you another future time here in the Colloquium, with my "idea" still in my userspace draft. This "idea" is sort of a burden, I'm happy I've made the choice to get rid of it and hopefully move on with my life, unless there is something to this "idea". My failure is probably evident: I feel I haven't told you anything. Same happened to when I talked to friends and family. In danger of overthinking it further I'll publish this right now.

I concluded that since I've not yet developed a methodology that adheres to "Do no harm" and this is my first time working my "idea" into a way that is compatible with how projects develop on English Wikiversity this is new to me. My methodology isn't developed and therefore trying to get attention to my project through a name can wait. Yesterday I figured out a silly title that has nothing to do with the project: "Planetary Awareness Potato Cabbage Rolls" or something like that. Google output read that no such thing exists so I wanted it mainly to be unique. I don't want to raise attention that I'm unsure whether I'll actually be capable of developing a methodology for but project notes is my best bet so far in tracking my progress.

Is there anyone here who is interested for Neurodiversity to be "something more" than it already is? Does anyone here consider Neurodiversity one of the "harder topics" to work on or discuss? Does anyone here have an opinion about the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]? So these questions don't appear like "out of a vacuum" I can tell you a bit about my background: Many years ago I got a psychiatric diagnosis "Asperger's". After I stepped out of the office and my Äsperger's was 'concluded', I stepped out into the street and thought my first negative thought(but the positive thought followed after). The thought was about concentration camps in the second world war and that the world seemed to be going into the direction of "labeling others". I was unsure whether this was "real science" and sort of "challenged myself" to make up my own mind after meeting people that had been given this diagnosis. The more adults with this diagnosis I met the more I started seeing "patterns". Was it a coincidence that the first person with Asperger's I met reminded me about my father later after I had plenty of times of experience with interacting with him? None of the people I interacted with online through IRC text chat...I felt I got any clue about how "their brains work". Only when I met one person from the Asperger's chat community in person we both realized that whatever we experienced was akin to the "chaos theory". He told me about "chaos theory" while I didn't know even what that term meant but I guess I 'read between the lines'. My question that I linger on still today is "did he understand about me what I think I understood about him?"? That our brains had the same configuration? Most autistic adults who meet other autistic adults usually get disappointed. They think the diagnosis will help them meet somebody like themselves and then they realize the great diversity in the autistic spectrum created by Psychiatry. I later stopped interacting with autistic communities that much, I felt that it did not benefit me. Also Neurodiversity's "neurotypes" interested me for a while until I realized I had "misunderstood everything" about them and how they are used in the Neurodiversity Movement or "Neurodiversity community" if that even can precisely be defined? I doubt it but if you want to contribute to the [[Neurodiversity Movement]]. My previous attempts failed as I got more and more confused. I think a community project needs a community. With a lack of that I don't think it is worth my time. If any of you would like to work on that project let me know on my talk page. So I was kinda lost and was talking to my friend and psychologist and I realized if I never talk about my idea to anyone in a "comprehensive way" or show that it matters to me nothing is going to ever happen. So I started talking about my "idea" more. Nobody could understand the "idea" because I had not developed my skills regarding where to start...although the process had already started "automatically" and that's why I often think of "well my brain sort of activated me". I don't feel like I did have a plan and this idea happened. It happened "by itself". My brain reacted to what I was seeing in a video or stream. I value interaction highly in this idea. I think it would be helpful to make a community of people who are not paranoid about stuff that can express itself like "don't analyze me!", "don't compare me to anyone!". On the contrary, more often than not those adults who were diagnosed were actually openly comparing themselves with each other and I think that is healthy in a "science" way if done the "right way" which probably means "Do no harm". I found video material is important but I'm very unsure if uploading own video material to Wikimedia Commons would constitute a "reasonable" use of the resources there. Maybe somebody here needs to ask more questions to me that I should answer before that happens. I also know the '''be bold''' so I could just do what I think might be ok. Though I work better in a group as long as I know what "group configurations" help me. This is in a non-profit way. Since the state supported me this might be a way I am trying to "give back" to the state and "the world". May seem overly ambitious and crazy but this thing gives me energy. It gives me hope when trying to develop this idea.

We would essentially be hosting a real-time experiment in citizen journalism, online communities, and collaborative learning in addition to the prospect of spreading educational information from someone actually reading the news. I would propose that we could also make a more deliberate attempt to engage with learning <em>about</em> what does and doesn't work with collaborative news writing by experimentation (e.g. audio news, syndicating to other sites, incorporating freely-licensed news from other sources, writing hyper-local news, writing briefs versus longer-term reportage) and also seeing if the problems noted in the Task Force report that recommended closure can be overcome. Note that we have already done some local investigation about and learning about wiki-based journalism on Wikinews here at [[Journalism studies and Wikinews]]. We could continue that learning and refine the process, including incorporating journalism students from universities. As for tensions, Wikinews is the only sister project that must be done with a quick turn-around: if you take a long time to [[:s:|transcribe a book]], that's just how long it takes, but if you take a long time to write news, it ceases to be news entirely. Wikiversity has been a very slow-growing project that has definitely had some successes but has generally come together over a long period with most learning resources being individual passion projects (or sometimes, frankly, crankery) which would not work with collaborative news that requires more than just a single editor writing whatever he feels like. ::Please let me know any other questions/concerns and any other editors feel free to give your own perspective. ―[[User:Koavf|Justin (<span style="color:grey">ko'''a'''<span style="color:black">v</span>f</span>)]]<span style="color:red">❤[[User talk:Koavf|T]]☮[[Special:Contributions/Koavf|C]]☺[[Special:Emailuser/Koavf|M]]☯</span> 06:13, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::Thanks, Justin — it is food for thought. :::In attempting to understand how we've arrived here, I've summarised some of the background on this page: [[Wikinews]]. :::Perhaps it could be helpful to flesh out more of the vision / ideas / possibilities / challenges on that page? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:49, 14 May 2026 (UTC) :::*Having given it some thought, in principle, I support hosting [[citizen journalism]] on Wikiversity where it is clearly connected to a learning project and/or constitutes original research, both of which align strongly with [[Wikiversity:Mission|Wikiversity’s educational mission]]. :::*My chief concern is the potential for news content that is not clearly linked to the purpose of Wikiversity. To avoid this, some community-agreed guidelines would be prudent. These need not be overly restrictive; they should support boldness and experimentation while helping ensure alignment with Wikiversity's purpose. :::*Given the reported low and declining activity on Wikinews, it seems unlikely that English Wikiversity would be overwhelmed by an influx of news-related editing. My impression is that English Wikinews was the most active edition, but even so, many contributors are likely to disperse to other projects or cease editing altogether. A modest migration of interested editors to Wikiversity seems manageable. :::*At this stage, I do not think a dedicated namespace is necessary. Subpages under [[Wikinews]] or nested pages under relevant learning or research projects, or user-space draft pages should be suitable. I agree that [[Wikijournal]] offers a useful model, as do several existing course structures on Wikiversity. :::*I support [[User:Koavf]]’s suggestions about framing Wikinews activity explicitly around learning. This would create a distinctive space for experimenting with collaborative news production in ways that are pedagogically meaningful. I agree that the [[journalism studies and Wikinews]] project developed by David and Leigh Blackall through the University of Wollongong is an excellent example of the intersection between Wikiversity and Wikinews.

As part of a reinvigoration effort, please review these and related resources such as [[:Category:Journalism]] and [[School:Journalism]]. :::*A further argument in favour of this initiative is that Wikipedia explicitly excludes both news reporting and original research. So, there is value in maintaining spaces within the Wikimedia ecosystem where these forms of knowledge production can be openly developed and curated. Such work can, in turn, generate valuable evidence and source material that may later inform Wikipedia articles. :::*The closure of WMF-hosted Wikinews does not imply that open wiki-based news curation lacks value. Indeed, the closure documentation appears supportive of experimentation with alternative news models across Wikimedia projects, including through Wikipedia and Wikidata. In that context, Wikiversity seems a natural home for a Wikinews experiment, provided it is clearly grounded in learning and/or research. :::-- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:39, 15 May 2026 (UTC) My understanding towards Wikinews' failure is that everything takes too long to be approved for the publish status, which means that any breaking news would have already become days-old stale news.

However, with the creation of the curator user group, we have already taken on local responsibility for monitoring inactivity in at least one advanced-rights group. Extending this to custodians and bureaucrats would not add much additional overhead and would provide a more consistent and transparent local administrative process. ::One option would be to develop a single, centralised policy covering all advanced-rights groups. ::An alternative would be to include an ==Inactivity== section on each relevant policy page (e.g., we already have [[Wikiversity:Curatorship#Inactivity]], but not yet in the custodianship, and bureaucratship policy pages). This approach would allow some flexibility because different user groups may warrant different criteria (such as inactivity thresholds, qualifying activity, or review procedures). ::A hybrid approach may be best: maintain separate inactivity sections within each user-group policy page, while transcluding these into a central overview page such as Codename Noreste suggests.

I proposed to quasi-delete, i.e. '''move to userspace''' of the main (or sole?) creator, {{User|KYPark}}. The page is organized a little bit like a dictionary. It makes it redundant to Wiktionary except that Wikiversity allows original research and there does seem to be original research there. Thus, its being organized as a dictionary would alone not necessarily be a problem. Where I see a problem is in the organization and execution/implementation. Consider [[Korean/Words/가다]], which seems rather typical of the subpages (some subpages are like categories and transclude the pages for individual words): * On the putative definition line, there is this: "한곳에서 다른 곳으로 장소를 이동하다", apparently(?) in Korean. That does not seem to fit well into the ''English'' Wikiversity. * There seems to be some original research into etymological relations between Korean and European languages in the "Comparatives" section (from what I recall, the English Wiktionary rejected this kind of content from KYPark). Admittedly, it is marked using "This is a primary, secondary and/or original Eurasiatic research project at Wikiversity", so it could be tolerable, but even so, one has to wonder whether Wikiversity wants this kind of fringe science/research or outright pseudo-science. ** Fringe science: fringe physics has been moved to user space before. This would be fringe etymology. But then, original research is allowed. Deletion is not required; moving to user space suffices, I think. Alternatively, one could at least rename the pages to make it clear from the title that this is not Wikiversity voice but rather KYPark voice, e.g. "Korean/Words (KYPark)/..." or "Korean/Words/KYPark/..." (recall the "Fedosin" pages featuring the name "Fedosin"). Methodology: I see almost no methodological notes spanning the words at [[Korean/Words]]. And yet, if this is original research inventing new etymological connections, surely there should be some general considerations/analysis on how to proceed and how that manner of procedure differs from mainstream etymology?

I am not sure about how to proceed, although I am inclined to move it out of mainspace = quasi-delete. I am looking forward to get input from others, especially curators and custodians. Some considerations: 1) There is perhaps no more appearance/suspicion of copyright violation, now that the ResearchGate (RG) article (of which this is a copy, perhaps an incomplete copy?) carries a license. 2) The article is not a complete replica from RG: at a minimum, it lacks images. The inserter could have continued editing the page in his user space before he uploads images, that is, before he finalizes the page for consumption, but that did not happen. I did not check whether the text is an exact one-to-one match; the article does not indicate anything in that regard. 3) The principle implied seems to be this: users should feel free to duplicate non-peer-reviewed articles from RG in English Wikiversity, perhaps to increase the Google search and LLM yield. I find this problematic, in part for the duplication. I would say: choose a venue and publish it there. If RG is not good enough for you as a publishing venue, choose Wikiversity instead, but not both? 4) There are some features that appear unduly promotional. There is a link to a dot com home page of the inserter of the article. I dot not know how we handle or should handle this, whether prohibit such a link, etc. This is perhaps not so much a call to quasi-deletion but a call to make it less promotional. 5) I cannot determine the value of such an article. It seems to be a pseudo-article describing someone's browser extension. Can someone do a better analysis? --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dan Polansky|contribs]]) 06:48, 8 October 2025 (UTC) :2) Images for Wikicommons are being created, it will take a lot of time. and the text is not an exact one-to-one match :3) I also mentioned that It was being created so that it is more accessible from mobile phone, which is not possible in RG or in Zenodo :Let me clarify the purpose of uploading it to different platforms :Zenodo - registration and to link DOI :RG - Self Archiving :Wikiversity - Accessible by anyone from any device. LLMs may get trained on Wikiversity data or use these data for indexing :5) The paper is a result of a research project which involved a browser extension which was built to test the theory. [[User:Tomlovesfar|Tomlovesfar]] ([[User talk:Tomlovesfar|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Tomlovesfar|contribs]]) 01:34, 9 October 2025 (UTC) :: I find the practice here of publishing non-identical but similar text ("the text is not an exact one-to-one match") with almost the same title to be problematic. I cannot imagine this is a recommended practice in academic publishing. At a minimum, somewhere near the top, the page should say something like the following: "This text is based on article ___ published at ___ but is not identical. The author of the differences/changes is ___." Everything else leads to an undesirable confusion.

Not only that, but it helps to create better publications and knowledge. Without this program it can be very time consuming to publish a scientific article with the requested style for the references. Further in daily practice when you want to collect and cite a few references for a specific evidence in a clinical colloquium and discussion, this program is excellent. Therefore we strongly recommend that all maritime health persons learn how to use this excellent tool in their daily maritime health practice of all different types. There are good online courses for self-instruction on how to use Zotero. For example this one: Zotero fast online course But in order to increase IMHAR´s collective scientific strength in the use of EBM we would like to give training sessions in every possible opportunity, IMHA Symposia, seminars and other types of meetings. The database is useful for personal purposes but especially also for collaborative aims. At the IMHAR meeting in Paris Oct 7th 2016 we will give an introduction to the program by showing how it can be used in the daily practice and discuss strength and weaknesses compared to other similar databases." : Even longer is e.g. [[IMHA Research Archives/Scientific litterature search, storage and use/Medicina Maritima - the Spanish scientific maritime health journal]]. : However, that does not mean these should be salvaged. --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dan Polansky|contribs]]) 07:53, 21 November 2025 (UTC) :{{ping|Saltrabook}} I'm wondering if you can respond here to help us decide about whether to delete the IMHA Research Archives sub-pages or perhaps move them to your user space? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:58, 17 May 2026 (UTC) == [[Palliative medicine]] == {{archive top|'''Kept'''.

First, I asked him for help with "time limit for new users", and he replied - I should admit I dont know, what is "new user limit", but if filter blocks your page because of certain external link, you may force to save anyway and sometimes it works. It should not work, when the website is blacklisted. As of now, I am not seeing you to save page in main namespace, so try to save it without external links first. Then he wrote me another message: Well, I have analyzed your contribution to Wikiversity and I should point out here, that this project is not a place for advertising, so there is no way of promoting your books and authority this way. - probably referring to the intro of my About me page where I present me and my work. Before I could explain him the difference between the neutral information and advertising and promotion, he deleted my user page. Here is my answer I posted to the discussion today: : Hi, my About Me page is just an info page with the neutral as possible presentation of my work. : : There is a big difference between informing and advertising. Informing is neutrally stating that something exists and requiring no action, while advertising is a special communication form with intent to cause certain action from readers. For example, click here, click there, order this, buy that. : : There is no such intention, form, or terms on my info page. Just neutral information. I don't hide and I am not ashamed that I am write and author, and that is a part of the usual bio, including works. I checked your user page: "I graduated from the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague and studied information science at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University." I think that if you had written a book on Life Science, you would have mentioned that as well. : : Most of the Info page is about my research and AIPA Method which is a valid contribution to psychology, consciousness studies, identity theory, and personality development. Actually, my paper '''AIPA Method: A Cognitive-Phenomenological Model for Identity Reconstruction and Stabilization in Pure Awareness''' is now in the peer review procedure at Journal of Consciousness Studies. : : Here is a part from the Wikiversity AIPA Method page in creation (waiting for the end of the time limit for new users): : == Introduction == : The AIPA Method addresses a gap in contemporary personal development and consciousness science: most evidence‑based approaches (CBT, MBSR, MBCT, standard meditation) operate at the level of mental content—reframing thoughts, observing them, or reducing their impact—rather than at the level of identity structure. In contrast, AIPA targets the structural relationship between the self and the mind, aiming at durable identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness rather than symptom management. : : The central research question of the primary AIPA preprint is whether a structured, sequentially staged method can produce permanent identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness, and how such a method compares to established approaches in scope, mechanism, and outcome. : : == Theoretical foundations == : The AIPA framework is grounded in the cognitive‑phenomenological tradition (e.g., McAdams, Varela, Metzinger, Erikson), contemporary consciousness science on minimal phenomenal experience, and qualitative methods advocacy in psychology. It builds directly on: :* Empirical work on pure awareness and Minimal Phenomenal Experience (MPE), especially Gamma & Metzinger’s large‑scale study of content‑reduced awareness states. :* Metzinger’s proposal of minimal phenomenal experience as an entry point for a minimal unifying model of consciousness. :* Narrative identity and partial‑self models within personality and identity theory. : Within this backdrop, AIPA proposes Pure Awareness as a distinct, operationally specified state that can become a structural ground of identity rather than a transient meditative experience. : : == Experiential empiricism == : The empirical foundation of the AIPA Method is explicitly first‑person and experiential, combining: :* A 22‑year longitudinal autoethnographic self‑study (2003–2025) documenting partial personality episodes, protocol use, and outcomes. :* A 13‑year prospective verification period with zero self‑reported recurrence of targeted harmful behaviors after a dated stabilization point (1 January 2006). :* A high‑ecological‑validity “stress test” during acute bereavement, used to examine whether non‑reactive awareness remains stable under maximal provocation. :* Two independent practitioner cases (an Amazon‑verified report and a structured questionnaire case) providing preliminary convergent signals across cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and identity dimensions. : : All central constructs (Pure Awareness, partial personalities, the Switch, identity stabilization) are operationalized with explicit phenomenological and behavioral criteria intended to enable replication and future third‑person measurement. : : I believe this is a valid contribution to Wikiversity. : : Best regards, Senad [[User:Senad Dizdarević|Senad Dizdarević]] I suggest you check the deleted user page, and see for yourself if it is "spam" and "authority hack", or a legit author's page with one paragraph short presentation, while the rest of the page is about my research project.

I proposed to quasi-delete, i.e. '''move to userspace''' of the main (or sole?) creator, {{User|KYPark}}. The page is organized a little bit like a dictionary. It makes it redundant to Wiktionary except that Wikiversity allows original research and there does seem to be original research there. Thus, its being organized as a dictionary would alone not necessarily be a problem. Where I see a problem is in the organization and execution/implementation. Consider [[Korean/Words/가다]], which seems rather typical of the subpages (some subpages are like categories and transclude the pages for individual words): * On the putative definition line, there is this: "한곳에서 다른 곳으로 장소를 이동하다", apparently(?) in Korean. That does not seem to fit well into the ''English'' Wikiversity. * There seems to be some original research into etymological relations between Korean and European languages in the "Comparatives" section (from what I recall, the English Wiktionary rejected this kind of content from KYPark). Admittedly, it is marked using "This is a primary, secondary and/or original Eurasiatic research project at Wikiversity", so it could be tolerable, but even so, one has to wonder whether Wikiversity wants this kind of fringe science/research or outright pseudo-science. ** Fringe science: fringe physics has been moved to user space before. This would be fringe etymology. But then, original research is allowed. Deletion is not required; moving to user space suffices, I think. Alternatively, one could at least rename the pages to make it clear from the title that this is not Wikiversity voice but rather KYPark voice, e.g. "Korean/Words (KYPark)/..." or "Korean/Words/KYPark/..." (recall the "Fedosin" pages featuring the name "Fedosin"). Methodology: I see almost no methodological notes spanning the words at [[Korean/Words]]. And yet, if this is original research inventing new etymological connections, surely there should be some general considerations/analysis on how to proceed and how that manner of procedure differs from mainstream etymology?

I am not sure about how to proceed, although I am inclined to move it out of mainspace = quasi-delete. I am looking forward to get input from others, especially curators and custodians. Some considerations: 1) There is perhaps no more appearance/suspicion of copyright violation, now that the ResearchGate (RG) article (of which this is a copy, perhaps an incomplete copy?) carries a license. 2) The article is not a complete replica from RG: at a minimum, it lacks images. The inserter could have continued editing the page in his user space before he uploads images, that is, before he finalizes the page for consumption, but that did not happen. I did not check whether the text is an exact one-to-one match; the article does not indicate anything in that regard. 3) The principle implied seems to be this: users should feel free to duplicate non-peer-reviewed articles from RG in English Wikiversity, perhaps to increase the Google search and LLM yield. I find this problematic, in part for the duplication. I would say: choose a venue and publish it there. If RG is not good enough for you as a publishing venue, choose Wikiversity instead, but not both? 4) There are some features that appear unduly promotional. There is a link to a dot com home page of the inserter of the article. I dot not know how we handle or should handle this, whether prohibit such a link, etc. This is perhaps not so much a call to quasi-deletion but a call to make it less promotional. 5) I cannot determine the value of such an article. It seems to be a pseudo-article describing someone's browser extension. Can someone do a better analysis? --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dan Polansky|contribs]]) 06:48, 8 October 2025 (UTC) :2) Images for Wikicommons are being created, it will take a lot of time. and the text is not an exact one-to-one match :3) I also mentioned that It was being created so that it is more accessible from mobile phone, which is not possible in RG or in Zenodo :Let me clarify the purpose of uploading it to different platforms :Zenodo - registration and to link DOI :RG - Self Archiving :Wikiversity - Accessible by anyone from any device.

The Zotero Program is just one of many scientific literature management programs, that should be used for these purposes. Of course one can live without such a database but it helps a lot and can save a lot of time that could be used for more interesting issues. Not only that, but it helps to create better publications and knowledge. Without this program it can be very time consuming to publish a scientific article with the requested style for the references. Further in daily practice when you want to collect and cite a few references for a specific evidence in a clinical colloquium and discussion, this program is excellent. Therefore we strongly recommend that all maritime health persons learn how to use this excellent tool in their daily maritime health practice of all different types. There are good online courses for self-instruction on how to use Zotero. For example this one: Zotero fast online course But in order to increase IMHAR´s collective scientific strength in the use of EBM we would like to give training sessions in every possible opportunity, IMHA Symposia, seminars and other types of meetings. The database is useful for personal purposes but especially also for collaborative aims. At the IMHAR meeting in Paris Oct 7th 2016 we will give an introduction to the program by showing how it can be used in the daily practice and discuss strength and weaknesses compared to other similar databases." : Even longer is e.g. [[IMHA Research Archives/Scientific litterature search, storage and use/Medicina Maritima - the Spanish scientific maritime health journal]]. : However, that does not mean these should be salvaged. --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dan Polansky|contribs]]) 07:53, 21 November 2025 (UTC) :{{ping|Saltrabook}} I'm wondering if you can respond here to help us decide about whether to delete the IMHA Research Archives sub-pages or perhaps move them to your user space? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:58, 17 May 2026 (UTC) == [[Palliative medicine]] == {{archive top|'''Kept'''.

First, I asked him for help with "time limit for new users", and he replied - I should admit I dont know, what is "new user limit", but if filter blocks your page because of certain external link, you may force to save anyway and sometimes it works. It should not work, when the website is blacklisted. As of now, I am not seeing you to save page in main namespace, so try to save it without external links first. Then he wrote me another message: Well, I have analyzed your contribution to Wikiversity and I should point out here, that this project is not a place for advertising, so there is no way of promoting your books and authority this way. - probably referring to the intro of my About me page where I present me and my work. Before I could explain him the difference between the neutral information and advertising and promotion, he deleted my user page. Here is my answer I posted to the discussion today: : Hi, my About Me page is just an info page with the neutral as possible presentation of my work. : : There is a big difference between informing and advertising. Informing is neutrally stating that something exists and requiring no action, while advertising is a special communication form with intent to cause certain action from readers. For example, click here, click there, order this, buy that. : : There is no such intention, form, or terms on my info page. Just neutral information. I don't hide and I am not ashamed that I am write and author, and that is a part of the usual bio, including works. I checked your user page: "I graduated from the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague and studied information science at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University." I think that if you had written a book on Life Science, you would have mentioned that as well. : : Most of the Info page is about my research and AIPA Method which is a valid contribution to psychology, consciousness studies, identity theory, and personality development. Actually, my paper '''AIPA Method: A Cognitive-Phenomenological Model for Identity Reconstruction and Stabilization in Pure Awareness''' is now in the peer review procedure at Journal of Consciousness Studies. : : Here is a part from the Wikiversity AIPA Method page in creation (waiting for the end of the time limit for new users): : == Introduction == : The AIPA Method addresses a gap in contemporary personal development and consciousness science: most evidence‑based approaches (CBT, MBSR, MBCT, standard meditation) operate at the level of mental content—reframing thoughts, observing them, or reducing their impact—rather than at the level of identity structure. In contrast, AIPA targets the structural relationship between the self and the mind, aiming at durable identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness rather than symptom management. : : The central research question of the primary AIPA preprint is whether a structured, sequentially staged method can produce permanent identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness, and how such a method compares to established approaches in scope, mechanism, and outcome. : : == Theoretical foundations == : The AIPA framework is grounded in the cognitive‑phenomenological tradition (e.g., McAdams, Varela, Metzinger, Erikson), contemporary consciousness science on minimal phenomenal experience, and qualitative methods advocacy in psychology. It builds directly on: :* Empirical work on pure awareness and Minimal Phenomenal Experience (MPE), especially Gamma & Metzinger’s large‑scale study of content‑reduced awareness states. :* Metzinger’s proposal of minimal phenomenal experience as an entry point for a minimal unifying model of consciousness. :* Narrative identity and partial‑self models within personality and identity theory. : Within this backdrop, AIPA proposes Pure Awareness as a distinct, operationally specified state that can become a structural ground of identity rather than a transient meditative experience. : : == Experiential empiricism == : The empirical foundation of the AIPA Method is explicitly first‑person and experiential, combining: :* A 22‑year longitudinal autoethnographic self‑study (2003–2025) documenting partial personality episodes, protocol use, and outcomes. :* A 13‑year prospective verification period with zero self‑reported recurrence of targeted harmful behaviors after a dated stabilization point (1 January 2006). :* A high‑ecological‑validity “stress test” during acute bereavement, used to examine whether non‑reactive awareness remains stable under maximal provocation. :* Two independent practitioner cases (an Amazon‑verified report and a structured questionnaire case) providing preliminary convergent signals across cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and identity dimensions. : : All central constructs (Pure Awareness, partial personalities, the Switch, identity stabilization) are operationalized with explicit phenomenological and behavioral criteria intended to enable replication and future third‑person measurement. : : I believe this is a valid contribution to Wikiversity. : : Best regards, Senad [[User:Senad Dizdarević|Senad Dizdarević]] I suggest you check the deleted user page, and see for yourself if it is "spam" and "authority hack", or a legit author's page with one paragraph short presentation, while the rest of the page is about my research project.

I proposed to quasi-delete, i.e. '''move to userspace''' of the main (or sole?) creator, {{User|KYPark}}. The page is organized a little bit like a dictionary. It makes it redundant to Wiktionary except that Wikiversity allows original research and there does seem to be original research there. Thus, its being organized as a dictionary would alone not necessarily be a problem. Where I see a problem is in the organization and execution/implementation. Consider [[Korean/Words/가다]], which seems rather typical of the subpages (some subpages are like categories and transclude the pages for individual words): * On the putative definition line, there is this: "한곳에서 다른 곳으로 장소를 이동하다", apparently(?) in Korean. That does not seem to fit well into the ''English'' Wikiversity. * There seems to be some original research into etymological relations between Korean and European languages in the "Comparatives" section (from what I recall, the English Wiktionary rejected this kind of content from KYPark). Admittedly, it is marked using "This is a primary, secondary and/or original Eurasiatic research project at Wikiversity", so it could be tolerable, but even so, one has to wonder whether Wikiversity wants this kind of fringe science/research or outright pseudo-science. ** Fringe science: fringe physics has been moved to user space before. This would be fringe etymology. But then, original research is allowed. Deletion is not required; moving to user space suffices, I think. Alternatively, one could at least rename the pages to make it clear from the title that this is not Wikiversity voice but rather KYPark voice, e.g. "Korean/Words (KYPark)/..." or "Korean/Words/KYPark/..." (recall the "Fedosin" pages featuring the name "Fedosin"). Methodology: I see almost no methodological notes spanning the words at [[Korean/Words]]. And yet, if this is original research inventing new etymological connections, surely there should be some general considerations/analysis on how to proceed and how that manner of procedure differs from mainstream etymology?

I am not sure about how to proceed, although I am inclined to move it out of mainspace = quasi-delete. I am looking forward to get input from others, especially curators and custodians. Some considerations: 1) There is perhaps no more appearance/suspicion of copyright violation, now that the ResearchGate (RG) article (of which this is a copy, perhaps an incomplete copy?) carries a license. 2) The article is not a complete replica from RG: at a minimum, it lacks images. The inserter could have continued editing the page in his user space before he uploads images, that is, before he finalizes the page for consumption, but that did not happen. I did not check whether the text is an exact one-to-one match; the article does not indicate anything in that regard. 3) The principle implied seems to be this: users should feel free to duplicate non-peer-reviewed articles from RG in English Wikiversity, perhaps to increase the Google search and LLM yield. I find this problematic, in part for the duplication. I would say: choose a venue and publish it there. If RG is not good enough for you as a publishing venue, choose Wikiversity instead, but not both? 4) There are some features that appear unduly promotional. There is a link to a dot com home page of the inserter of the article. I dot not know how we handle or should handle this, whether prohibit such a link, etc. This is perhaps not so much a call to quasi-deletion but a call to make it less promotional. 5) I cannot determine the value of such an article. It seems to be a pseudo-article describing someone's browser extension. Can someone do a better analysis? --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dan Polansky|contribs]]) 06:48, 8 October 2025 (UTC) :2) Images for Wikicommons are being created, it will take a lot of time. and the text is not an exact one-to-one match :3) I also mentioned that It was being created so that it is more accessible from mobile phone, which is not possible in RG or in Zenodo :Let me clarify the purpose of uploading it to different platforms :Zenodo - registration and to link DOI :RG - Self Archiving :Wikiversity - Accessible by anyone from any device.

The Zotero Program is just one of many scientific literature management programs, that should be used for these purposes. Of course one can live without such a database but it helps a lot and can save a lot of time that could be used for more interesting issues. Not only that, but it helps to create better publications and knowledge. Without this program it can be very time consuming to publish a scientific article with the requested style for the references. Further in daily practice when you want to collect and cite a few references for a specific evidence in a clinical colloquium and discussion, this program is excellent. Therefore we strongly recommend that all maritime health persons learn how to use this excellent tool in their daily maritime health practice of all different types. There are good online courses for self-instruction on how to use Zotero. For example this one: Zotero fast online course But in order to increase IMHAR´s collective scientific strength in the use of EBM we would like to give training sessions in every possible opportunity, IMHA Symposia, seminars and other types of meetings. The database is useful for personal purposes but especially also for collaborative aims. At the IMHAR meeting in Paris Oct 7th 2016 we will give an introduction to the program by showing how it can be used in the daily practice and discuss strength and weaknesses compared to other similar databases." : Even longer is e.g. [[IMHA Research Archives/Scientific litterature search, storage and use/Medicina Maritima - the Spanish scientific maritime health journal]]. : However, that does not mean these should be salvaged. --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dan Polansky|contribs]]) 07:53, 21 November 2025 (UTC) :{{ping|Saltrabook}} I'm wondering if you can respond here to help us decide about whether to delete the IMHA Research Archives sub-pages or perhaps move them to your user space? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:58, 17 May 2026 (UTC) == [[Palliative medicine]] == {{archive top|'''Kept'''.

First, I asked him for help with "time limit for new users", and he replied - I should admit I dont know, what is "new user limit", but if filter blocks your page because of certain external link, you may force to save anyway and sometimes it works. It should not work, when the website is blacklisted. As of now, I am not seeing you to save page in main namespace, so try to save it without external links first. Then he wrote me another message: Well, I have analyzed your contribution to Wikiversity and I should point out here, that this project is not a place for advertising, so there is no way of promoting your books and authority this way. - probably referring to the intro of my About me page where I present me and my work. Before I could explain him the difference between the neutral information and advertising and promotion, he deleted my user page. Here is my answer I posted to the discussion today: : Hi, my About Me page is just an info page with the neutral as possible presentation of my work. : : There is a big difference between informing and advertising. Informing is neutrally stating that something exists and requiring no action, while advertising is a special communication form with intent to cause certain action from readers. For example, click here, click there, order this, buy that. : : There is no such intention, form, or terms on my info page. Just neutral information. I don't hide and I am not ashamed that I am write and author, and that is a part of the usual bio, including works. I checked your user page: "I graduated from the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague and studied information science at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University." I think that if you had written a book on Life Science, you would have mentioned that as well. : : Most of the Info page is about my research and AIPA Method which is a valid contribution to psychology, consciousness studies, identity theory, and personality development. Actually, my paper '''AIPA Method: A Cognitive-Phenomenological Model for Identity Reconstruction and Stabilization in Pure Awareness''' is now in the peer review procedure at Journal of Consciousness Studies. : : Here is a part from the Wikiversity AIPA Method page in creation (waiting for the end of the time limit for new users): : == Introduction == : The AIPA Method addresses a gap in contemporary personal development and consciousness science: most evidence‑based approaches (CBT, MBSR, MBCT, standard meditation) operate at the level of mental content—reframing thoughts, observing them, or reducing their impact—rather than at the level of identity structure. In contrast, AIPA targets the structural relationship between the self and the mind, aiming at durable identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness rather than symptom management. : : The central research question of the primary AIPA preprint is whether a structured, sequentially staged method can produce permanent identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness, and how such a method compares to established approaches in scope, mechanism, and outcome. : : == Theoretical foundations == : The AIPA framework is grounded in the cognitive‑phenomenological tradition (e.g., McAdams, Varela, Metzinger, Erikson), contemporary consciousness science on minimal phenomenal experience, and qualitative methods advocacy in psychology. It builds directly on: :* Empirical work on pure awareness and Minimal Phenomenal Experience (MPE), especially Gamma & Metzinger’s large‑scale study of content‑reduced awareness states. :* Metzinger’s proposal of minimal phenomenal experience as an entry point for a minimal unifying model of consciousness. :* Narrative identity and partial‑self models within personality and identity theory. : Within this backdrop, AIPA proposes Pure Awareness as a distinct, operationally specified state that can become a structural ground of identity rather than a transient meditative experience. : : == Experiential empiricism == : The empirical foundation of the AIPA Method is explicitly first‑person and experiential, combining: :* A 22‑year longitudinal autoethnographic self‑study (2003–2025) documenting partial personality episodes, protocol use, and outcomes. :* A 13‑year prospective verification period with zero self‑reported recurrence of targeted harmful behaviors after a dated stabilization point (1 January 2006). :* A high‑ecological‑validity “stress test” during acute bereavement, used to examine whether non‑reactive awareness remains stable under maximal provocation. :* Two independent practitioner cases (an Amazon‑verified report and a structured questionnaire case) providing preliminary convergent signals across cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and identity dimensions. : : All central constructs (Pure Awareness, partial personalities, the Switch, identity stabilization) are operationalized with explicit phenomenological and behavioral criteria intended to enable replication and future third‑person measurement. : : I believe this is a valid contribution to Wikiversity. : : Best regards, Senad [[User:Senad Dizdarević|Senad Dizdarević]] I suggest you check the deleted user page, and see for yourself if it is "spam" and "authority hack", or a legit author's page with one paragraph short presentation, while the rest of the page is about my research project.

I proposed to quasi-delete, i.e. '''move to userspace''' of the main (or sole?) creator, {{User|KYPark}}. The page is organized a little bit like a dictionary. It makes it redundant to Wiktionary except that Wikiversity allows original research and there does seem to be original research there. Thus, its being organized as a dictionary would alone not necessarily be a problem. Where I see a problem is in the organization and execution/implementation. Consider [[Korean/Words/가다]], which seems rather typical of the subpages (some subpages are like categories and transclude the pages for individual words): * On the putative definition line, there is this: "한곳에서 다른 곳으로 장소를 이동하다", apparently(?) in Korean. That does not seem to fit well into the ''English'' Wikiversity. * There seems to be some original research into etymological relations between Korean and European languages in the "Comparatives" section (from what I recall, the English Wiktionary rejected this kind of content from KYPark). Admittedly, it is marked using "This is a primary, secondary and/or original Eurasiatic research project at Wikiversity", so it could be tolerable, but even so, one has to wonder whether Wikiversity wants this kind of fringe science/research or outright pseudo-science. ** Fringe science: fringe physics has been moved to user space before. This would be fringe etymology. But then, original research is allowed. Deletion is not required; moving to user space suffices, I think. Alternatively, one could at least rename the pages to make it clear from the title that this is not Wikiversity voice but rather KYPark voice, e.g. "Korean/Words (KYPark)/..." or "Korean/Words/KYPark/..." (recall the "Fedosin" pages featuring the name "Fedosin"). Methodology: I see almost no methodological notes spanning the words at [[Korean/Words]]. And yet, if this is original research inventing new etymological connections, surely there should be some general considerations/analysis on how to proceed and how that manner of procedure differs from mainstream etymology?

I am not sure about how to proceed, although I am inclined to move it out of mainspace = quasi-delete. I am looking forward to get input from others, especially curators and custodians. Some considerations: 1) There is perhaps no more appearance/suspicion of copyright violation, now that the ResearchGate (RG) article (of which this is a copy, perhaps an incomplete copy?) carries a license. 2) The article is not a complete replica from RG: at a minimum, it lacks images. The inserter could have continued editing the page in his user space before he uploads images, that is, before he finalizes the page for consumption, but that did not happen. I did not check whether the text is an exact one-to-one match; the article does not indicate anything in that regard. 3) The principle implied seems to be this: users should feel free to duplicate non-peer-reviewed articles from RG in English Wikiversity, perhaps to increase the Google search and LLM yield. I find this problematic, in part for the duplication. I would say: choose a venue and publish it there. If RG is not good enough for you as a publishing venue, choose Wikiversity instead, but not both? 4) There are some features that appear unduly promotional. There is a link to a dot com home page of the inserter of the article. I dot not know how we handle or should handle this, whether prohibit such a link, etc. This is perhaps not so much a call to quasi-deletion but a call to make it less promotional. 5) I cannot determine the value of such an article. It seems to be a pseudo-article describing someone's browser extension. Can someone do a better analysis? --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dan Polansky|contribs]]) 06:48, 8 October 2025 (UTC) :2) Images for Wikicommons are being created, it will take a lot of time. and the text is not an exact one-to-one match :3) I also mentioned that It was being created so that it is more accessible from mobile phone, which is not possible in RG or in Zenodo :Let me clarify the purpose of uploading it to different platforms :Zenodo - registration and to link DOI :RG - Self Archiving :Wikiversity - Accessible by anyone from any device.

The Zotero Program is just one of many scientific literature management programs, that should be used for these purposes. Of course one can live without such a database but it helps a lot and can save a lot of time that could be used for more interesting issues. Not only that, but it helps to create better publications and knowledge. Without this program it can be very time consuming to publish a scientific article with the requested style for the references. Further in daily practice when you want to collect and cite a few references for a specific evidence in a clinical colloquium and discussion, this program is excellent. Therefore we strongly recommend that all maritime health persons learn how to use this excellent tool in their daily maritime health practice of all different types. There are good online courses for self-instruction on how to use Zotero. For example this one: Zotero fast online course But in order to increase IMHAR´s collective scientific strength in the use of EBM we would like to give training sessions in every possible opportunity, IMHA Symposia, seminars and other types of meetings. The database is useful for personal purposes but especially also for collaborative aims. At the IMHAR meeting in Paris Oct 7th 2016 we will give an introduction to the program by showing how it can be used in the daily practice and discuss strength and weaknesses compared to other similar databases." : Even longer is e.g. [[IMHA Research Archives/Scientific litterature search, storage and use/Medicina Maritima - the Spanish scientific maritime health journal]]. : However, that does not mean these should be salvaged. --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dan Polansky|contribs]]) 07:53, 21 November 2025 (UTC) :{{ping|Saltrabook}} I'm wondering if you can respond here to help us decide about whether to delete the IMHA Research Archives sub-pages or perhaps move them to your user space? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:58, 17 May 2026 (UTC) == [[Palliative medicine]] == {{archive top|'''Kept'''.

First, I asked him for help with "time limit for new users", and he replied - I should admit I dont know, what is "new user limit", but if filter blocks your page because of certain external link, you may force to save anyway and sometimes it works. It should not work, when the website is blacklisted. As of now, I am not seeing you to save page in main namespace, so try to save it without external links first. Then he wrote me another message: Well, I have analyzed your contribution to Wikiversity and I should point out here, that this project is not a place for advertising, so there is no way of promoting your books and authority this way. - probably referring to the intro of my About me page where I present me and my work. Before I could explain him the difference between the neutral information and advertising and promotion, he deleted my user page. Here is my answer I posted to the discussion today: : Hi, my About Me page is just an info page with the neutral as possible presentation of my work. : : There is a big difference between informing and advertising. Informing is neutrally stating that something exists and requiring no action, while advertising is a special communication form with intent to cause certain action from readers. For example, click here, click there, order this, buy that. : : There is no such intention, form, or terms on my info page. Just neutral information. I don't hide and I am not ashamed that I am write and author, and that is a part of the usual bio, including works. I checked your user page: "I graduated from the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague and studied information science at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University." I think that if you had written a book on Life Science, you would have mentioned that as well. : : Most of the Info page is about my research and AIPA Method which is a valid contribution to psychology, consciousness studies, identity theory, and personality development. Actually, my paper '''AIPA Method: A Cognitive-Phenomenological Model for Identity Reconstruction and Stabilization in Pure Awareness''' is now in the peer review procedure at Journal of Consciousness Studies. : : Here is a part from the Wikiversity AIPA Method page in creation (waiting for the end of the time limit for new users): : == Introduction == : The AIPA Method addresses a gap in contemporary personal development and consciousness science: most evidence‑based approaches (CBT, MBSR, MBCT, standard meditation) operate at the level of mental content—reframing thoughts, observing them, or reducing their impact—rather than at the level of identity structure. In contrast, AIPA targets the structural relationship between the self and the mind, aiming at durable identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness rather than symptom management. : : The central research question of the primary AIPA preprint is whether a structured, sequentially staged method can produce permanent identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness, and how such a method compares to established approaches in scope, mechanism, and outcome. : : == Theoretical foundations == : The AIPA framework is grounded in the cognitive‑phenomenological tradition (e.g., McAdams, Varela, Metzinger, Erikson), contemporary consciousness science on minimal phenomenal experience, and qualitative methods advocacy in psychology. It builds directly on: :* Empirical work on pure awareness and Minimal Phenomenal Experience (MPE), especially Gamma & Metzinger’s large‑scale study of content‑reduced awareness states. :* Metzinger’s proposal of minimal phenomenal experience as an entry point for a minimal unifying model of consciousness. :* Narrative identity and partial‑self models within personality and identity theory. : Within this backdrop, AIPA proposes Pure Awareness as a distinct, operationally specified state that can become a structural ground of identity rather than a transient meditative experience. : : == Experiential empiricism == : The empirical foundation of the AIPA Method is explicitly first‑person and experiential, combining: :* A 22‑year longitudinal autoethnographic self‑study (2003–2025) documenting partial personality episodes, protocol use, and outcomes. :* A 13‑year prospective verification period with zero self‑reported recurrence of targeted harmful behaviors after a dated stabilization point (1 January 2006). :* A high‑ecological‑validity “stress test” during acute bereavement, used to examine whether non‑reactive awareness remains stable under maximal provocation. :* Two independent practitioner cases (an Amazon‑verified report and a structured questionnaire case) providing preliminary convergent signals across cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and identity dimensions. : : All central constructs (Pure Awareness, partial personalities, the Switch, identity stabilization) are operationalized with explicit phenomenological and behavioral criteria intended to enable replication and future third‑person measurement. : : I believe this is a valid contribution to Wikiversity. : : Best regards, Senad [[User:Senad Dizdarević|Senad Dizdarević]] I suggest you check the deleted user page, and see for yourself if it is "spam" and "authority hack", or a legit author's page with one paragraph short presentation, while the rest of the page is about my research project.

It makes it redundant to Wiktionary except that Wikiversity allows original research and there does seem to be original research there. Thus, its being organized as a dictionary would alone not necessarily be a problem. Where I see a problem is in the organization and execution/implementation. Consider [[Korean/Words/가다]], which seems rather typical of the subpages (some subpages are like categories and transclude the pages for individual words): * On the putative definition line, there is this: "한곳에서 다른 곳으로 장소를 이동하다", apparently(?) in Korean. That does not seem to fit well into the ''English'' Wikiversity. * There seems to be some original research into etymological relations between Korean and European languages in the "Comparatives" section (from what I recall, the English Wiktionary rejected this kind of content from KYPark). Admittedly, it is marked using "This is a primary, secondary and/or original Eurasiatic research project at Wikiversity", so it could be tolerable, but even so, one has to wonder whether Wikiversity wants this kind of fringe science/research or outright pseudo-science. ** Fringe science: fringe physics has been moved to user space before. This would be fringe etymology. But then, original research is allowed. Deletion is not required; moving to user space suffices, I think. Alternatively, one could at least rename the pages to make it clear from the title that this is not Wikiversity voice but rather KYPark voice, e.g. "Korean/Words (KYPark)/..." or "Korean/Words/KYPark/..." (recall the "Fedosin" pages featuring the name "Fedosin"). Methodology: I see almost no methodological notes spanning the words at [[Korean/Words]]. And yet, if this is original research inventing new etymological connections, surely there should be some general considerations/analysis on how to proceed and how that manner of procedure differs from mainstream etymology?

I am not sure about how to proceed, although I am inclined to move it out of mainspace = quasi-delete. I am looking forward to get input from others, especially curators and custodians. Some considerations: 1) There is perhaps no more appearance/suspicion of copyright violation, now that the ResearchGate (RG) article (of which this is a copy, perhaps an incomplete copy?) carries a license. 2) The article is not a complete replica from RG: at a minimum, it lacks images. The inserter could have continued editing the page in his user space before he uploads images, that is, before he finalizes the page for consumption, but that did not happen. I did not check whether the text is an exact one-to-one match; the article does not indicate anything in that regard. 3) The principle implied seems to be this: users should feel free to duplicate non-peer-reviewed articles from RG in English Wikiversity, perhaps to increase the Google search and LLM yield. I find this problematic, in part for the duplication. I would say: choose a venue and publish it there. If RG is not good enough for you as a publishing venue, choose Wikiversity instead, but not both? 4) There are some features that appear unduly promotional. There is a link to a dot com home page of the inserter of the article. I dot not know how we handle or should handle this, whether prohibit such a link, etc. This is perhaps not so much a call to quasi-deletion but a call to make it less promotional. 5) I cannot determine the value of such an article. It seems to be a pseudo-article describing someone's browser extension. Can someone do a better analysis? --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dan Polansky|contribs]]) 06:48, 8 October 2025 (UTC) :2) Images for Wikicommons are being created, it will take a lot of time. and the text is not an exact one-to-one match :3) I also mentioned that It was being created so that it is more accessible from mobile phone, which is not possible in RG or in Zenodo :Let me clarify the purpose of uploading it to different platforms :Zenodo - registration and to link DOI :RG - Self Archiving :Wikiversity - Accessible by anyone from any device.

The Zotero Program is just one of many scientific literature management programs, that should be used for these purposes. Of course one can live without such a database but it helps a lot and can save a lot of time that could be used for more interesting issues. Not only that, but it helps to create better publications and knowledge. Without this program it can be very time consuming to publish a scientific article with the requested style for the references. Further in daily practice when you want to collect and cite a few references for a specific evidence in a clinical colloquium and discussion, this program is excellent. Therefore we strongly recommend that all maritime health persons learn how to use this excellent tool in their daily maritime health practice of all different types. There are good online courses for self-instruction on how to use Zotero. For example this one: Zotero fast online course But in order to increase IMHAR´s collective scientific strength in the use of EBM we would like to give training sessions in every possible opportunity, IMHA Symposia, seminars and other types of meetings. The database is useful for personal purposes but especially also for collaborative aims. At the IMHAR meeting in Paris Oct 7th 2016 we will give an introduction to the program by showing how it can be used in the daily practice and discuss strength and weaknesses compared to other similar databases." : Even longer is e.g. [[IMHA Research Archives/Scientific litterature search, storage and use/Medicina Maritima - the Spanish scientific maritime health journal]]. : However, that does not mean these should be salvaged. --[[User:Dan Polansky|Dan Polansky]] ([[User talk:Dan Polansky|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dan Polansky|contribs]]) 07:53, 21 November 2025 (UTC) :{{ping|Saltrabook}} I'm wondering if you can respond here to help us decide about whether to delete the IMHA Research Archives sub-pages or perhaps move them to your user space? -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:58, 17 May 2026 (UTC) == [[Palliative medicine]] == {{archive top|'''Kept'''.

First, I asked him for help with "time limit for new users", and he replied - I should admit I dont know, what is "new user limit", but if filter blocks your page because of certain external link, you may force to save anyway and sometimes it works. It should not work, when the website is blacklisted. As of now, I am not seeing you to save page in main namespace, so try to save it without external links first. Then he wrote me another message: Well, I have analyzed your contribution to Wikiversity and I should point out here, that this project is not a place for advertising, so there is no way of promoting your books and authority this way. - probably referring to the intro of my About me page where I present me and my work. Before I could explain him the difference between the neutral information and advertising and promotion, he deleted my user page. Here is my answer I posted to the discussion today: : Hi, my About Me page is just an info page with the neutral as possible presentation of my work. : : There is a big difference between informing and advertising. Informing is neutrally stating that something exists and requiring no action, while advertising is a special communication form with intent to cause certain action from readers. For example, click here, click there, order this, buy that. : : There is no such intention, form, or terms on my info page. Just neutral information. I don't hide and I am not ashamed that I am write and author, and that is a part of the usual bio, including works. I checked your user page: "I graduated from the Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague and studied information science at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University." I think that if you had written a book on Life Science, you would have mentioned that as well. : : Most of the Info page is about my research and AIPA Method which is a valid contribution to psychology, consciousness studies, identity theory, and personality development. Actually, my paper '''AIPA Method: A Cognitive-Phenomenological Model for Identity Reconstruction and Stabilization in Pure Awareness''' is now in the peer review procedure at Journal of Consciousness Studies. : : Here is a part from the Wikiversity AIPA Method page in creation (waiting for the end of the time limit for new users): : == Introduction == : The AIPA Method addresses a gap in contemporary personal development and consciousness science: most evidence‑based approaches (CBT, MBSR, MBCT, standard meditation) operate at the level of mental content—reframing thoughts, observing them, or reducing their impact—rather than at the level of identity structure. In contrast, AIPA targets the structural relationship between the self and the mind, aiming at durable identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness rather than symptom management. : : The central research question of the primary AIPA preprint is whether a structured, sequentially staged method can produce permanent identity reconstruction rooted in Pure Awareness, and how such a method compares to established approaches in scope, mechanism, and outcome. : : == Theoretical foundations == : The AIPA framework is grounded in the cognitive‑phenomenological tradition (e.g., McAdams, Varela, Metzinger, Erikson), contemporary consciousness science on minimal phenomenal experience, and qualitative methods advocacy in psychology. It builds directly on: :* Empirical work on pure awareness and Minimal Phenomenal Experience (MPE), especially Gamma & Metzinger’s large‑scale study of content‑reduced awareness states. :* Metzinger’s proposal of minimal phenomenal experience as an entry point for a minimal unifying model of consciousness. :* Narrative identity and partial‑self models within personality and identity theory. : Within this backdrop, AIPA proposes Pure Awareness as a distinct, operationally specified state that can become a structural ground of identity rather than a transient meditative experience. : : == Experiential empiricism == : The empirical foundation of the AIPA Method is explicitly first‑person and experiential, combining: :* A 22‑year longitudinal autoethnographic self‑study (2003–2025) documenting partial personality episodes, protocol use, and outcomes. :* A 13‑year prospective verification period with zero self‑reported recurrence of targeted harmful behaviors after a dated stabilization point (1 January 2006). :* A high‑ecological‑validity “stress test” during acute bereavement, used to examine whether non‑reactive awareness remains stable under maximal provocation. :* Two independent practitioner cases (an Amazon‑verified report and a structured questionnaire case) providing preliminary convergent signals across cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and identity dimensions. : : All central constructs (Pure Awareness, partial personalities, the Switch, identity stabilization) are operationalized with explicit phenomenological and behavioral criteria intended to enable replication and future third‑person measurement. : : I believe this is a valid contribution to Wikiversity. : : Best regards, Senad [[User:Senad Dizdarević|Senad Dizdarević]] I suggest you check the deleted user page, and see for yourself if it is "spam" and "authority hack", or a legit author's page with one paragraph short presentation, while the rest of the page is about my research project.

Try to discourage others from being uncivil, and be careful to avoid offending people unintentionally. }} '''Civility''' is a rule for the conduct of edits, comments, and talk page discussions on all Wikimedia projects. Whereas incivility is roughly defined as ''personally targeted behavior that causes an atmosphere of greater [[m:source of conflict | conflict]] and [[m:wikistress | stress]],'' our rule of civility states plainly that ''people must act with civility toward one another.'' A civility policy is a reasonable way to delimit acceptable conduct from the unacceptable. == The problem == Many people forget that criticizing an edit is easily conflated with insulting the person who made it — and so they are unnecessarily harsh on the giving end and unnecessarily sensitive on the receiving end. Textual communication on the Internet does not transmit the nuances of verbal conversation, so a small, facetious comment can be easily misinterpreted. What starts with one uncivil remark becomes an exchange of those same, during which people are no longer interested in improving articles and instead focus on "triumphing" over the "enemy". This is not what Wikiversity is about (see [[Wikiversity:What is Wikiversity?]]). == Examples == '''Petty examples''' that contribute to an uncivil environment: * Rudeness * Judgmental tone in edit summaries ("fixed sloppy spelling," "snipped rambling crap") * Belittling contributors because of their language skills or word choice * Ill-considered accusations of impropriety of one kind or another * Starting a comment with: "Not to make this personal, but..." * Calling someone a liar, or accusing him/her of slander or libel. Even if true, such remarks tend to aggravate rather than resolve a dispute. More '''serious examples''' include: * [[wikt:taunt#English|Taunting]] * [[w:Wikipedia:No personal attacks | Personal attacks]] ** Racial, ethnic, and religious slurs ** [[w:Profanity|Profanity]] directed at another contributor * Lies * Defacing user pages * Giving users derogatory names via ''Page move Trolling'' * Calling for unjustified bans or blocks * Using [[w:Straw man|straw men]] Incivility happens, for example, when you are quietly creating a new page, and another user tells you, ''If you're going to write a pointless page, could you spell-check it?''<br> Escalation occurs when you reply, ''Mind your own business''. This style of interaction between editors drives away contributors, distracts others from more important matters, and weakens the entire community. == When and why does it happen? == * During an edit war, when people have different opinions, or when there is a conflict over sharing power. * When the community grows larger. Each editor does not know all the others and may not perceive the importance of each individual to the project — so they don't worry about maintaining relationships that don't exist. Reputation does not count as much as in a smaller community. * Sometimes, a particularly impolite user joins the project. This can also aggravate other editors into being impolite themselves. * People's different point of views may lead up to a debate, the people involved in the debate may be rude. Most of the time, insults are used in the heat of the moment during a longer conflict. They are essentially a way to end the discussion. Often the person who made the insult regrets having used such words afterwards. This in itself is a good reason to remove (or [[w:Wikipedia:Refactoring | refactor]]) the offending words. In other cases, the offender is doing it on purpose: either to distract the "opponent(s)" from the issue, or simply to drive them away from working on the article or even from the project, or to push them to commit an even greater breach in civility, which might result in ostracism or banning. In those cases, it is far less likely that the offender will have any regrets and apologize. It should be noted that some editors deliberately push others to the point of breaching civility, without committing such a breach themselves. == Why is it bad? == * Because it makes people unhappy, resulting in discouragement and leaving Wikiversity. * Because it makes people angry, resulting in non-constructive or even uncivil behavior themselves, further escalating the level of incivility * Because it puts people on the defensive, closing their minds to other ideas and preventing a [[w:Wikipedia:consensus|consensus]] from forming * Because people lose good faith, resulting in even less ability to resolve the current conflict — or the next one == General suggestions == === Preventing incivility within Wikiversity === * Prevent edit wars and conflict between individuals (''constraints on editing are set by the project — essentially a community answer'') * Force delays between answers to give time to editors to calm down and recover and to avoid further escalation of a conflict (''protecting pages, or temporary blocks of editors in case of conflict'') * Use positive feedback (''praising those who do not respond to incivility with incivility'') * Apply peer pressure (''voicing displeasure each time rudeness or incivility happens'') * Solve the root of the conflict between the offender and the other editor(s) or the community — or find a compromise. * Use negative feedback (''suggesting that an editor involved in conflict should leave a conflict or even temporarily avoid all controversial areas in Wikiversity''). It may be worthwhile making such suggestions to both sides of the conflict. * Block certain users from editing specific pages that often trigger incivility * Create and enforce a new rule — based on use of certain words — that allows temporary blocking or banning an editor using them more than a certain number of times. * Filter emails by the offender, or filter mail based on certain keywords and reject emails to the Wikiversity mailing list with those words * Accepting that incivility and rudeness can't be entirely avoided in such a project, and not responding in kind. * Giving awards for good edits. === Reducing the impact === * Balance each uncivil comment by providing a soothing or constructive comment * '''Do not''' answer offensive comments. Forget about them. Forgive the editor. Do not escalate the conflict. (''an individual approach'') * Ignore incivility. Operate as if the offender does not exist. Set up a "wall" between the offender and the community. * Revert edits with a veil of invisibility (&bot=1) to reduce the impact of the offensive words used in edit summaries (the comment box) * Walk away. Just go edit somewhere else for a while and return when tempers have cooled. * If you happen to offend someone, apologize. Remove the offense, if possible, and keep the apology. However, please do not expect or attempt to mandate that others act likewise. === Removing uncivil comments === * Strike offensive words or replace them with milder ones on talk pages (''this is often seen as controversial, as is refactoring other people's words'') * Remove offensive comments on talk pages (''since they remain in the page history, anyone can find them again or refer to them later on'') * Revert an edit with &bot=1, so that the edit made by the offender appears invisible in Recent Changes (''do-able on IP contributions, requires technical help for logged-in user'') * Delete (entirely and permanently) an edit made by the offender (''requires technical help'') * Permanently delete an offensive comment made on the mailing lists (''requires technical help'') * Replace a comment made in an edit summary by another less offensive comment (''requires technical help'') === Explain incivility === Some editors are badly shaken by uncivil words directed towards them, and can't focus on the source of the conflict itself. It may help to point out to them why unpleasant words were used, and acknowledge that while incivility is wrong, the ideas behind the comment may be valid. The offended person may realize that the words were not always meant literally, and could decide to forgive and forget them. It can be helpful to point out breaches of civility even when done on purpose to hurt, as it might help the disputant to refocus on the issue (''controversial''). === Suggest apologizing === The apology is a form of ritual exchange between both parties, where words are said that allow reconciliation. For some people, it may be crucial to receive an [[meta:apology | apology]] from those who have offended them. For this reason, a sincere apology is often the key to the resolution of a conflict: an apology is a symbol of forgiveness. An apology is very much recommended when one person's perceived incivility has offended another. ==See also== * [[Help:Resource attribution]] - an optional scheme for promoting civility and cooperation between educators when someone has an interest in a particular resource page and may need it for their classes. * [[Wikiversity:Civility/Extension 0.2]] - a draft for a proposed extension/change to the Civility policy * [[Wikiversity:Respect people]] a proposed policy that complements the Civility policy and [[Wikimedia:Privacy policy]] * [[Learning civility]] - a learning project about developing personal civility and facilitating it in others {{Official policies}} [[Category:Civility]] 3xg2yclgdeeldo2ammxuugmx1gmb190 Template:Deletion request 10 1932 2810078 2611744 2026-05-18T10:35:50Z Jtneill 10242 Update link 2810078 wikitext text/x-wiki {{ambox |image = [[File:User-trash.svg|50x50px|link=]] |text='''Please [[Wikiversity:Requests for Deletion#{{{1|{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}}|share your thoughts]] about whether to [[Wikiversity:Deletion policy|keep this resource or not]]'''.

[[User:Addemf|Addemf]] ([[User talk:Addemf|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Addemf|contribs]]) 19:59, 15 March 2024 (UTC) == Proposed modifications == I proposed the following at https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Colloquium#Expanding_WV%3ADeletions_with_Moving_to_Draft_archive :"==Moving to Draft archive== :"A page that meets the criteria for deletion from the main resource namespace that was most likely created in good faith and is not blatant spam should be moved to the "Draft:" namespace instead of being deleted, unless an overriding rationale for deletion prevails such as the page being offensive, copyright violation, spam, and/or so forth. The rational for this is as follows. Not deleting Creating Commons Content created in good faith is fruitful to the Creative Commons as a whole, database storage is not reduced by deleting content, and there is generally no harm moving good faith content to the Draft: namespace. Additionally, whether someone created good faith Creative Commons content (related to teaching, learning, or research) to hone their writing and wiki editing skills, simply to plant the seed of an idea for others to build off of later, or so forth, moving such content to the "Draft:" namespace can give others an opportunity to develop the content later, use the content as food for thought that might spark new, useful, or novel ideas, and/or possibly another creative fruitful intellectual processes related to Creative Commons content creation not described here.

[[User:Addemf|Addemf]] ([[User talk:Addemf|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Addemf|contribs]]) 19:59, 15 March 2024 (UTC) == Proposed modifications == I proposed the following at https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Colloquium#Expanding_WV%3ADeletions_with_Moving_to_Draft_archive :"==Moving to Draft archive== :"A page that meets the criteria for deletion from the main resource namespace that was most likely created in good faith and is not blatant spam should be moved to the "Draft:" namespace instead of being deleted, unless an overriding rationale for deletion prevails such as the page being offensive, copyright violation, spam, and/or so forth. The rational for this is as follows. Not deleting Creating Commons Content created in good faith is fruitful to the Creative Commons as a whole, database storage is not reduced by deleting content, and there is generally no harm moving good faith content to the Draft: namespace. Additionally, whether someone created good faith Creative Commons content (related to teaching, learning, or research) to hone their writing and wiki editing skills, simply to plant the seed of an idea for others to build off of later, or so forth, moving such content to the "Draft:" namespace can give others an opportunity to develop the content later, use the content as food for thought that might spark new, useful, or novel ideas, and/or possibly another creative fruitful intellectual processes related to Creative Commons content creation not described here.

I don't think I'd support going as far as requiring that pages be moved to draft, but I do think we should be highlighting this option.

The rational for this is as follows. Not deleting Creating Commons Content created in good faith is fruitful to the Creative Commons as a whole, database storage is not reduced by deleting content, and there is generally no harm moving good faith content to the Draft: namespace. Additionally, whether someone created good faith Creative Commons content (related to teaching, learning, or research) to hone their writing and wiki editing skills, simply to plant the seed of an idea for others to build off of later, or so forth, moving such content to the "Draft:" namespace can give others an opportunity to develop the content later, use the content as food for thought that might spark new, useful, or novel ideas, and/or possibly another creative fruitful intellectual processes related to Creative Commons content creation not described here.

The [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]] allows anyone to track deletions and restorations at Wikiversity. Deletion removes access while keeping resources and their development histories intact. Access can be restored through undeletion.

You may [[#Discussion|request community feedback]], or object with or without explanation by removing the speedy deletion suggestion from the resource. Resources may not be subject to speedy deletion when a reasonable objection is made or is likely because participants may be able to learn how to implement concrete improvements when taught appropriate practices. ====Criteria for speedy deletion==== {{shortcut|WV:CSD|WV:DB|WV:SD|WV:SPEEDY}} A non-exhaustive list of possible reasons custodians may speedy delete resources include: #'''[[Wikiversity:What is Wikiversity|No educational]]''' objectives or discussion in history. [[Wikiversity:Welcome templates|Welcome users and resources]] when likely to be expanded shortly. #'''Solicitation''' for products, services, companies, events, people or other things with no educational merit or which generate direct financial benefit to the contributor. #'''Copyright work''' which do not satisfy [[Foundation:Terms of use|Wikimedia's Terms of Use]]. #'''Resource [[m:transwiki|moved]]''' to another project due to [[Wikiversity:Scope|scope]], or file uploaded to [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]] with history intact and links fixed. #'''Author request''' by an only contributor or only substantial contributor, or arising from an expressed consensus of contributors. #'''[[Wikiversity:Vandalism|Vandalism]]''' and user pages for vandalism-only accounts. #'''Sandbox''' that tests the wiki software outside user space and [[Wikiversity:Sandbox]]. #'''Discussion''' about deleted resources where context is lost and becoming an independent resource is unlikely. #'''Repost''' with no concrete improvements to merit keeping. #'''Archaic redirect''' with no educational histories, no links, and either no appropriate targets or not likely to be searched for. #'''Empty category''' with no notice suggesting the category may be occasionally empty. #'''Unused file''' lacking either a license or a source may be deleted one week after uploader is notified. #'''Reasonable maintenance task''' such as repairing cut-and-paste moves, and moving resources over a redirect. #'''Serious ethical breach,''' where a resource standing undeleted may cause harm. === {{anchor|Proposed deletion}}Proposed deletion (prod)=== {{shortcut|WV:PROD|WV:PRD|WV:PD}} Resources may be eligible for proposed deletion when education objectives and learning outcomes are scarce, and objections to deletion are unlikely. You may add {{tlxs|prod}} to the top of resources to propose deletion. A custodian may examine the resource after 90 days, and either delete the resource or remove the proposal. Anyone may object by removing the proposed deletion template from the resource, with or without an explanation on the resource's discussion page. Anyone still considering that the resource should be deleted may [[#Discussion|discuss deletion]]. == {{anchor|Deletion discussions|Discussion}}How to discuss == You should [[WV:AGF|ask questions and discuss concerns]] with participants, make an effort to [[Wikiversity:Be bold|resolve problems yourself]], and try [[#Alternatives to deletion|alternatives]] as appropriate before suggesting deletion for resources with substantial development histories and contributions from multiple participants. You may ask for guidance and advice, explain what you have done or will do, and discuss options at [[Wikiversity:Requests for deletion]]. Resources are generally kept when a community [[Wikiversity:Consensus|decision]] is inconclusive. Add {{tl|rfd}} to the top of resources to draw attention to the discussion. As a courtesy, you may also notify any participants directly. Be concise and specific when suggesting solutions, because the preferred outcome is one participants can learn from to implement concrete improvements. On occasion, deletion might be permissible when productivity from a fresh start is likely and concerns relate to Wikiversity's [[Wikiversity:Mission|mission]], [[Wikiversity:Scope|scope]], [[Wikiversity:Process|process]], or [[Wikiversity:Policies|policy]] in some way. If you can raise concerns not addressed by a previous discussion, you may begin a new discussion at [[Wikiversity:Requests for Deletion|Requests for Deletion]]. Reasonable requests for resources to be restored during discussion are honored, where possible. Please only participate if you are willing to keep an open mind and make an effort to improve resources. ==Alternatives to deletion== {{shortcut|ATD|WV:ATD}} [[Wikiversity:Who are Wikiversity participants?|Participants]] can often implement concrete improvements and develop resources further when taught appropriate practices. Possible alternatives to deletion include: {| style="border:5px solid #cccccc; border-collapse:separate; border-spacing:1em 1em;" |- ! What !

Visit [[Wikiversity talk:Deletions]] to discuss.''}} An effort is underway to provide visitors to Wikiversity with a more satisfying experience by removing resources from mainspace that cannot be directly used by teachers and instructors. Those who wish to volunteer may consider using the following templates: *<code>{{tl|delete}}</code> for ''speedy deletion'' *<code>{{tl|prod}}</code> for a ''proposed deletion'' *<code>{{tl|dr}}</code> for a ''deletion request'' *<code>{{tl|pagemove announcement}}</code> informs the editors that their page or resource is likely to be moved to either draftspace or userspace.

You may ask for guidance and advice, explain what you have done or will do, and discuss options at [[Wikiversity:Requests for deletion]]. Resources are generally kept when a community [[Wikiversity:Consensus|decision]] is inconclusive. Add {{tl|rfd}} to the top of resources to draw attention to the discussion.

You may ask for guidance and advice, explain what you have done or will do, and discuss options at [[Wikiversity:Requests for deletion]]. Resources are generally kept when a community [[Wikiversity:Consensus|decision]] is inconclusive. Add {{tl|rfd}} to the top of resources to draw attention to the discussion. As a courtesy, you may also notify any participants directly.

You may [[#Discussion|request community feedback]], or object with or without explanation by removing the speedy deletion suggestion from the resource. Resources may not be subject to speedy deletion when a reasonable objection is made or is likely because participants may be able to learn how to implement concrete improvements when taught appropriate practices. ====Criteria for speedy deletion==== {{shortcut|WV:CSD|WV:DB|WV:SD|WV:SPEEDY}} A non-exhaustive list of possible reasons custodians may speedy delete resources include: #'''Test page''' Testing of the wiki software outside user space.

[[Wikiversity:Welcome templates|Welcome users and resources]] when likely to be expanded shortly. #'''Solicitation''' for products, services, companies, events, people or other things with no educational merit or which generate direct financial benefit to the contributor. #'''Copyright work''' which do not satisfy [[Foundation:Terms of use|Wikimedia's Terms of Use]]. #'''Resource [[m:transwiki|moved]]''' to another project due to [[Wikiversity:Scope|scope]], or file uploaded to [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]] with history intact and links fixed. #'''Author request''' by an only contributor or only substantial contributor, or arising from an expressed consensus of contributors. #'''[[Wikiversity:Vandalism|Vandalism]]''' and user pages for vandalism-only accounts. #'''Discussion''' about deleted resources where context is lost and becoming an independent resource is unlikely. #'''Repost''' with no concrete improvements to merit keeping. #'''Archaic redirect''' with no educational histories, no links, and either no appropriate targets or not likely to be searched for. #'''Empty category''' with no notice suggesting the category may be occasionally empty. #'''Unused file''' lacking either a license or a source may be deleted one week after uploader is notified. #'''Reasonable maintenance task''' such as repairing cut-and-paste moves, and moving resources over a redirect. #'''Serious ethical breach,''' where a resource standing undeleted may cause harm. === {{anchor|Proposed deletion}}Proposed deletion (prod)=== {{shortcut|WV:PROD|WV:PRD|WV:PD}} Resources may be eligible for proposed deletion when education objectives and learning outcomes are scarce, and objections to deletion are unlikely.

Anyone still considering that the resource should be deleted may [[#Discussion|discuss deletion]]. == {{anchor|Deletion discussions|Discussion}}How to discuss == You should [[WV:AGF|ask questions and discuss concerns]] with participants, make an effort to [[Wikiversity:Be bold|resolve problems yourself]], and try [[#Alternatives to deletion|alternatives]] as appropriate before suggesting deletion for resources with substantial development histories and contributions from multiple participants. You may ask for guidance and advice, explain what you have done or will do, and discuss options at [[Wikiversity:Requests for deletion]]. Resources are generally kept when a community [[Wikiversity:Consensus|decision]] is inconclusive. Add {{tl|rfd}} to the top of resources to draw attention to the discussion. As a courtesy, you may also notify any participants directly.

You may [[#Discussion|request community feedback]], or object with or without explanation by removing the speedy deletion suggestion from the resource. Resources may not be subject to speedy deletion when a reasonable objection is made or is likely because participants may be able to learn how to implement concrete improvements when taught appropriate practices. ====Criteria for speedy deletion==== {{shortcut|WV:CSD|WV:DB|WV:SD|WV:SPEEDY}} A non-exhaustive list of possible reasons custodians may speedy delete resources include: #'''Test page''' to practice use of the wiki software outside user space.

You may add {{tlxs|prod}} to the top of resources to propose deletion. A custodian may examine the resource after 90 days, and either delete the resource or remove the proposal. Anyone may object by removing the proposed deletion template from the resource, with or without an explanation on the resource's discussion page. Anyone still considering that the resource should be deleted may [[#Discussion|discuss deletion]]. == {{anchor|Deletion discussions|Discussion}}How to discuss == You should [[WV:AGF|ask questions and discuss concerns]] with participants, make an effort to [[Wikiversity:Be bold|resolve problems yourself]], and try [[#Alternatives to deletion|alternatives]] as appropriate before suggesting deletion for resources with substantial development histories and contributions from multiple participants. You may ask for guidance and advice, explain what you have done or will do, and discuss options at [[Wikiversity:Requests for deletion]]. Resources are generally kept when a community [[Wikiversity:Consensus|decision]] is inconclusive. Add {{tl|rfd}} to the top of resources to draw attention to the discussion.

Too many obscure pages in mainspace degrades gives others a bad impression of Wikiversity. On the other hand, people should be encouraged write on Wikiversity about all sorts of topics.

The [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]] allows anyone to track deletions and restorations at Wikiversity. Deletion removes access while keeping resources and their development histories intact.

You may [[#Discussion|request community feedback]], or object with or without explanation by removing the speedy deletion suggestion from the resource. Resources may not be subject to speedy deletion when a reasonable objection is made or is likely because participants may be able to learn how to implement concrete improvements when taught appropriate practices. ====Criteria for speedy deletion==== {{shortcut|WV:CSD|WV:DB|WV:SD|WV:SPEEDY}} A non-exhaustive list of possible reasons [[Wikiversity:Support staff|support staff]] may speedy delete resources include: ;Common reasons # '''Test page''' to practice use of the wiki software outside user space. Experiment in the [[Wikiversity:Sandbox]]. Consider [[Wikiversity:Welcome templates|Welcoming the user]]. #'''[[Wikiversity:Vandalism|Vandalism]]''' and user pages for vandalism-only accounts. #'''Solicitation''' for products, services, companies, events, people, or other things with no educational merit or which generate direct financial benefit to the contributor. #'''Spam''' consisting of bulk automated creations, cross-wiki cross-posting, or repetitive external links with no educational value #'''Repost''' with no concrete improvements to merit keeping. User should [[WV:RFD|request undeletion]] instead. #'''Author request''' by an only contributor or only substantial contributor, or arising from an expressed consensus of contributors. #'''Empty category''' with no notice suggesting the category may be occasionally empty. #'''Copyrighted work''' which does not satisfy [[Foundation:Terms of use|Wikimedia's Terms of Use]]. #'''Orphaned, broken, or unused redirect''' with no educational histories, no links, and either no appropriate targets or not likely to be searched for. #'''No [[WV:WIW|educational objectives]]''' or discussion in history.

You may add {{tlxs|prod}} to the top of resources to propose deletion. Support staff may examine the resource after 90 days, and either delete the resource or remove the proposal. Anyone may object by removing the proposed deletion template from the resource, with or without an explanation on the resource's discussion page. Anyone still considering that the resource should be deleted may [[#Discussion|discuss deletion]]. == {{anchor|Deletion discussions|Discussion}}How to discuss == You should [[WV:AGF|ask questions and discuss concerns]] with participants, make an effort to [[Wikiversity:Be bold|resolve problems yourself]], and try [[#Alternatives to deletion|alternatives]] as appropriate before suggesting deletion for resources with substantial development histories and contributions from multiple participants. You may ask for guidance and advice, explain what you have done or will do, and discuss options at [[Wikiversity:Requests for deletion]]. Resources are generally kept when a community [[Wikiversity:Consensus|decision]] is inconclusive. Add {{tl|rfd}} to the top of resources to draw attention to the discussion. As a courtesy, you may also notify any participants directly. Be concise and specific when suggesting solutions, because the preferred outcome is one participants can learn from to implement concrete improvements. On occasion, deletion might be permissible when productivity from a fresh start is likely and concerns relate to Wikiversity's [[Wikiversity:Mission|mission]], [[Wikiversity:Scope|scope]], [[Wikiversity:Process|process]], or [[Wikiversity:Policies|policy]] in some way.

Anything that potentially causes harm should be immediately deleted, and ''speedy deletion'' is the fastest way to nominate a page for removal. But a ''speedy deletion'' is also the most time-consuming to revert (if the resource actually gets deleted). A good rule of thumb is never to speedy delete a resource that might be [[wikt:salvable|salvable]] or has had active edits in the past three years. Also, hesitate before you ''speedy delete'' a project or a large number of subpages, as reverting such deletions can be extremely time-consuming. ===Proposed deletion=== *Uses <code>{{tlxs|prod}}</code> '''Proposed deletion''' (or "prod") is for pages that may or may not belong in mainspace.

You may add {{tlxs|prod}} to the top of resources to propose deletion. Support staff may examine the resource after 90 days, and either delete the resource or remove the proposal. Anyone may object by removing the proposed deletion template from the resource, with an explanation on the resource's discussion page and/or in the edit summary. Anyone still considering that the resource should be deleted may [[#Discussion|discuss deletion]]. == {{anchor|Deletion discussions|Discussion}}How to discuss == You should [[WV:AGF|ask questions and discuss concerns]] with participants, make an effort to [[Wikiversity:Be bold|resolve problems yourself]], and try [[#Alternatives to deletion|alternatives]] as appropriate before suggesting deletion for resources with substantial development histories and contributions from multiple participants. You may ask for guidance and advice, explain what you have done or will do, and discuss options at [[Wikiversity:Requests for deletion]]. Resources are generally kept when a community [[Wikiversity:Consensus|decision]] is inconclusive. Add {{tl|rfd}} to the top of resources to draw attention to the discussion. As a courtesy, you may also notify any participants directly. Be concise and specific when suggesting solutions, because the preferred outcome is one participants can learn from to implement concrete improvements.

The [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]] allows anyone to track deletions and restorations at Wikiversity. Deletion removes access while keeping resources and their development histories intact. Access can be restored through undeletion.

Wikiversity constantly needs people to maintain the site, and '''''anyone can get involved in maintaining Wikiversity'''''. You don't have to ask - you can just pick some open tasks and get on with the job! Below you can find plenty of information and links to start you off with your maintenance "career" here. When you become better at maintenance tasks, you can start to identify new tasks that need doing and add them to the lists and categories. If you stay around Wikiversity for long, and especially if you take part in maintenance, you'll soon come across the term [[Wikiversity:Custodians|custodian]], which is what we call an "admin" or someone with "sysop privileges". Custodians have access to a few extra options on the MediaWiki interface, which enable them to do some maintenance operations faster, and do other maintenance operations which might have more radical effects on Wikiversity. For example, custodians can delete pages and block disruptive users. These operations are things which it is generally felt that not everyone should have access to. If you find a job which needs a custodian, then feel welcome to ask one! (There are also other strata of [[Wikiversity:User access levels|user rights]], including other types of [[Wikiversity:Support staff|support staff]].) Sometimes people decide it might be a nice idea to become a "custodian" themselves. If you want to: here's a quick how-to.

Wikiversity constantly needs people to maintain the site, and '''''anyone can get involved in maintaining Wikiversity'''''. You don't have to ask - you can just pick some open tasks and get on with the job! Below you can find plenty of information and links to start you off with your maintenance "career" here. When you become better at maintenance tasks, you can start to identify new tasks that need doing and add them to the lists and categories. If you stay around Wikiversity for long, and especially if you take part in maintenance, you'll soon come across the term [[Wikiversity:Custodians|custodian]], which is what we call an "admin" or someone with "sysop privileges". Custodians have access to a few extra options on the MediaWiki interface, which enable them to do some maintenance operations faster, and do other maintenance operations which might have more radical effects on Wikiversity. For example, custodians can delete pages and block disruptive users. These operations are things which it is generally felt that not everyone should have access to. If you find a job which needs a custodian, then feel welcome to ask one! (There are also other strata of [[Wikiversity:User access levels|user rights]], including other types of [[Wikiversity:Support staff|support staff]].) Sometimes people decide it might be a nice idea to become a "custodian" themselves. If you want to: here's a quick how-to. '''First''', realise that custodians (or admins) do a lot of pretty unpleasant boring jobs and end up sacrificing a lot of their family/holiday time. It's hardly a prestigious job.

They can promote users to [[Wikiversity:Custodianship|custodian]] or bureaucrat status, and grant or revoke [[Wikiversity:Curatorship|curator]], [[Wikiversity:Bots|bot]], and [[Wikiversity:Interface administrators|interface administrator]] permissions. == A bureaucrat's role == First and foremost, bureaucrats must be well-trusted members of the community. They must have a deep understanding of [[Wikiversity:Mission|Wikiversity's mission]] and processes, and must be excellent judges of [[Wikiversity:Consensus|consensus]]. They must demonstrate through their extensive contributions to Wikiversity that they are not rash in decision-making, nor uncivil to others, even those whom they are in disagreement with. They must also have the ability and willingness to thoroughly explain decisions that they make, as well as to admit fault, where appropriate. Bureaucrats ''do not'' have the right to use their status to appropriate any undue influence in community discussions - their participation in such activities is on a par with any other community member, insofar as is possible. Whatever influence they may have should be akin to that of any other community member, according to the weight of their opinions or their previous participation in the project. Bureaucrats are expected to follow the same policies as [[Wikiversity:Curatorship|curators]] and [[Wikiversity:Custodianship|custodians]]. == A bureaucrat's duties == Bureaucrats can add users to the [[Wikiversity:Curatorship|curator]], [[Wikiversity:Custodianship|custodian]], bureaucrat, [[Wikiversity:Bots|bot]], and/or [[Wikiversity:Interface administrators|interface administrator]] groups (via [[Special:UserRights]] - [[Special:Log/rights]]). Bureaucrats act as the final interpreter of consensus and are charged with the responsibility of declaring at an appropriate time, whether a custodian, bureaucrat, bot, or interface administrator candidate is granted a user group change or otherwise. Bureaucrats should respect the Wikiversity community's decision on these particular matters. This management process is intended to streamline processing of requests for user group changes, and to minimize ambiguity introduced to the process when non-bureaucrats intervene. However, note that custodians can determine consensus and add user group permissions for curator requests. Bureaucrats should be careful about making mistakes in adding user rights because only curator, bot, and interface administrator groups can be removed by bureaucrats. To remove custodian or bureaucrat rights requires a [[m:Stewards|steward]] to do so. == How can I question a bureaucrat's decision? == You can ask on a bureaucrat's [[Help:User talk page|user talk page]], request [[Wikiversity:Custodian feedback|feedback]] from other custodians and bureaucrats, or start a [[Wikiversity:Community Review|community review]]. The order is important, it reflects the order in which you should attempt to resolve a problem. == How are bureaucrats created? == Bureaucrats can be nominated at [[Wikiversity:Candidates for Bureaucratship]]. However, no mentor is required. Nominations should be [[Wikiversity:Announcements|announced]] ([[MediaWiki:Sitenotice|site wide]]), and kept open for a period of '''at least two weeks''' before being acted upon. There needs to be '''a very strong majority''' of users in support of the decision to add or remove a candidate from the ''bureaucrat'' group. == How are bureaucrats removed? == There are three ways: # A bureaucrat can request removal of their tools from [[m:Steward requests/Permissions|stewards]]. # Requests for bureaucrat removal by others (unless it's an emergency) should first go through the process of talk page discussion, [[Wikiversity:Custodian feedback|custodian feedback request]], and [[Wikiversity:Community Review|community review]]. The final act would be a [[m:Steward requests/Permissions|request to stewards]] to remove the ''bureaucrat'' group from a user. # The maximum time period of inactivity <u>without community review</u> for holders of advanced administrative rights is two years per the [[:meta:Category:Global policies|global policy]] described at [[meta:Admin activity review|Admin activity review]]. After that time, a [[meta:Steward requests/Permissions|steward will be asked to remove the rights]]. ==See also== ;Wikiversity * [[Wikiversity:CheckUser policy]] * [[Wikiversity:Curatorship]] * [[Wikiversity:Custodianship]] * [[Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat|List of current Wikiversity bureaucrats]] * [[Wikiversity:Colloquium/archives/December 2006#Bureaucrats]] ;Sister wikis * [[w:Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|Wikipedia:Bureaucrats]] * [[meta:Bureaucrat|Meta:Bureaucrat]] * [[b:Wikibooks:Administrators|Wikibooks:Administrators]] * [[wikinews:Wikinews:Administrators|Wikinews:Administrators]] {{Official policies}} {{Proposed policies}} [[Category:Wikiversity bureaucratship| ]] [[de:Wikiversity:Pedelle#Bürokraten]] fsphextqp5tztn83hrjgfcoxblg0le0 Wikinews 0 15155 2810032 2809476 2026-05-18T02:13:20Z Jtneill 10242 /* Content that needs review */ Remove page now in user space 2810032 wikitext text/x-wiki ==Background== [[File:Wikinews-logo.svg|200px|right]] [[n:|Wikinews]] was a free-content news source wiki project of the [[Wikimedia Foundation]] (2005-2026). Wikinews allowed anyone to report news on a wide variety of subjects. Its mission, as stated on the main page of the English version, was to ''"create a diverse environment where [[citizen journalism|citizen journalists]] can independently report the news on a wide variety of current events"''. Wikinews was closed to editing and new content on 4 May 2026 because the project "wasn’t able to fulfil its promise, and many of its functions were eclipsed by the notable news coverage in Wikipedias".[https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=30328679#Board_of_Trustees_Approves_Closure_of_Wikinews] The foundation stated in its closure recommendation that it is "difficult to claim that it is disseminating educational content and, even more so, that it is doing so effectively and globally." [[meta:Wikimedia_Foundation_Community_Affairs_Committee/Sister_Projects_Task_Force/Results_of_the_consultation_about_Wikispore_and_Wikinews#Discussion|Specific criticisms]] included that Wikinews lacked a clear focus or consistent purposes (neither serving as an encyclopedic news summary nor excellent at original reporting) and that it was the least active sister project, with diminishing engagement. There was mixed opinion about the suitability of curating news in a wiki format. Wikinews remains publicly accessible for reading, reference, and dump downloading. There were 31 editions (different languages) of Wikinews. Some Wikinews language projects have been merged into Wikipedias. There were also proposals for different forms of WMF-based news such as [[meta:Wikinews Pulse|Wikinews Pulse]], based on Wikidata. Wikinews was a great place to hone your journalistic skills in a live public, neutral environment. Unlike many citizen journalism sites, Wikinews is written in the Neutral Point of View (NPOV), which means reporters there often strive for '''professionalism in reporting, with consideration for truth, fairness, balance, decency and ethics'''. There were regular reporters there, who were often credited for their work. [[w:User:Eloquence|Erik Möller]], the deputy CEO of the Foundation (2010), is generally credited with being instrumental in getting the project off the ground. With a focus on news, the project was frequently overshadowed by current events on Wikipedia - which, naturally, attracted a far larger contributor base. There were stark differences between "The Free Encyclopedia you can Write", and "The Free News Source you can Write". Encyclopedic articles are continually developing, whereas news articles are a snapshot of what is known at a point in time. Through negotiation with Google News, project bureaucrat [[n:Brian McNeil|Brian McNeil]] successfully arranged listing of the English-language ''Wikinews'' project in Google's index-cum-aggregator; adopting the Wikimedia extension for Flagged Revisions, and technically implementing a formal peer review process which paralleled that of traditional journalism to meet Google's requirements and address a perennial contributor gripe. This, by-and-large, made Wikinews a unique publisher of [[Citizen journalism]]. == Discussion questions == * What societal benefits can citizen journalism provide? ==Proposal to host Wikinews on

Note that on [[Wikiversity]], sysop status is referred to as '[[Project:custodianship|custodianship]]'. ==[[What is Wikiversity?]]== One of the first starting points should be for custodian candidates to appreciate and understand Wikiversity's [[WV:Scope|scope]], [[WV:Mission|mission]], and [[WV:Vision|vision]]. Since these are all in development, candidates are strongly encourage to contribute to improvements. An understanding of Wikiversity's [[WV:History|history]] is also advisable. Sysops coming from other WMF projects are enouraged to appreciate that the Wikiversity scope for acceptable content is considerably broader than on the other projects because the mission is about providing learning content and learning spaces. Sysops coming from other projects are encouraged to engage in discussion with other contributors to help determine what content what or may not be considered to be within Wikiversity's scope. ==Policies== Secondly, candidate custodians on Wikiversity are strongly encouraged to familiarise themselves with [[Wikiversity:Policies]]. Policies attempt to make clear what ''processes'' to follow. But many of the policies are still in draft format. The most common issues on Wikiversity involve: * determining whether content is appropriate fore the main namespace; and * managing disruptive user behaviour, including spillover from disputes on other sister projects These two issues are often interconnected. The tables below provides a guide for one's policy reading. {{official policies}} {{proposed policies}} Also note that not everything about what makes a wiki work/not work can be found in these policies. One of the common debates, for example, is over how users, curators, custodians, and bureaucrats interpret and act/don't act on the policies. Other key debates include application of the policies and support staff attitudes towards fostering a "developist" culture compared to a "deletionist" culture. Broader literature about Wikiversity can be found in the Wikiversity namespace, e.g., some especially useful links are: {{Administering Wikiversity horizontal}} ==People and tools== Thirdly, candidate custodians on Wikiversity should familiarise themselves with ''people'' and ''tools''. * Regarding ''people'', communication is vital, so correspond with your mentor, share about yourself on your user page, discuss ideas and questions on talk pages, and possibly also on the mailing list, IRC etc. See if you can work out how to add News, Announcements, and Site notices. * Regarding ''tools'', probationary custodians should already be familiar with [[Help:Editing]] but a thorough review is recommended (e.g., do you understand [[Help:Templates|templates]]?) and should try out the sysop tools during their probationary period, including [[Help:Deleting|deleting]] (see also [[Help:Oversight|oversight]]), [[Help:Blocking|blocking]], [[Help:Protection|protection]]. Since use of each of these tools runs a potentially strong risk of community upset, but also to not use these tools when appropriate similar runs risk of community upset, you should get familiar with how they work (each action can be undone) and you should then seek guidance from others about their subsequent use in real situations. ==Reading list== *[[/Blocking/]] (on Wikiversity) *[[/Deletion/]] (on Wikiversity) ===Policies=== '''''Community task''''': ''Make a reading list of [[Project:policies|policies]] which the community thinks should be read and understood by custodians.

In the file saving dialogue, "Web Page, complete" takes the loaded page from memory and stores resources such as multimedia and style sheets and JavaScripts as individual files inside a <code>_files</code> suffix directory. "Web Page, HTML only" saves the verbatim page source code downloaded from the server. * "Save Link as" from right-click context menu (saves verbatim page source code) * Dragging the URL or tab into the Download arrow in the tool bar. * Pasting an URL from the clipboard into the opened download history (in the "Library" window or <code>about:downloads</code>). Additionally, the page source code can be saved by copying it from the web development tools and pasted into a text editor. == Profiles == User profiles allow separating configuration, extensions, bookmarks, and history within Firefox. By default, there is one profile. The profile manager allows creating additional profiles. It can be opened by launching the Firefox process through a command line with the <code>-profilemanager</code> parameter, without spaces. Profile folders are typically located under <code>%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\</code> on Microsoft Windows,<code>~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/</code> on MacOS, and <code>~/.mozilla/firefox/</code> on Linux and BSD. The profile manager allows manually specifying custom profile directories.<ref>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles?redirectslug=profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles&redirectlocale=en-US ''Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles'' – Mozilla Support (knowledge base)]</ref> Relevant files in the profile folder are <code>places.sqlite</code> for browsing history and download history and bookmarks, <code>cookies.sqlite</code>, <code>prefs.js</code> for user preferences, and <code>containers.json</code> for configuration of multi-account containers. Sessions are stored in <code>sessionstore.jsonlz4</code> when closing the browser (before Firefox 56 of 2017, it was stored as plain JSON into <code>sessionstore.json</code>), and backed up to <code>sessionstore-backups/recovery.jsonlz4</code> and <code>sessionstore-backups/recovery.baklz4</code> while browsing for recovery in case of an unexpected process termination. The previous session is backed up to <code>sessionstore-backups/previous.jsonlz4</code>. <ref>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data – Mozilla Support]</ref> == Advanced configuration == On the desktop edition (and earlier mobile versions), the <code>about:config</code> page allows fine-tuning the browser. The search bar at the top facilitates finding properties. Notable properties are: * <code>browser.urlbar.trimURLs</code> – may hide the protocol from the URL bar. Deactivate to always show the full URL including the protocol. Activated by default. * <code>browser.tabs.insertAfterCurrent</code> – open new tabs next to the currently active tab instead of at the end of the tab list. * <code>javascript.enabled</code> – deactivating usually increases speed and decreases CPU usage of [[:w:Progressive enhancement|progressively enhancing]] sites, but features implemented using JavaScript such as [[:mw:Extension:WikiEditor|the toolbar of the wikitext form]] and JavaScript-based sites such as Twitter web app will not work. Activated by default. * <code>browser.backspace_action</code> – this parameter adjusts the function of the backspace key if no text input field is active. <code>0</code>: navigate to last page, <code>1</code>: scroll up, if ''Shift'' key is held then scroll down. <code>2</code>: deactivate. * <code>dom.event.contextmenu.enabled</code> – allows JavaScript to interfere with right-click context menu. Deactivating might interfere with some sites' functionality. Activated by default. * <code>dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled</code> – allows JavaScript to evaluate on-page text selection. Deactivating might interfere with some sites' functionality. Activated by default. * <code>browser.download.autohideButton</code> – hide download button if no downloads in current session. Activated by default. * <code>browser.download.alwaysOpenPanel</code> – Open list of recent downloads after a download finished. * <code>browser.download.lastDir</code>, <code>browser.open.lastDir</code> – last directory to which a file was downloaded or from which a file was opened through the file picker dialogue. * <code>browser.startup.homepage</code> – page displayed when starting a new session (if not restoring the previous session), and when pressing the button with the house icon. * <code>dom.ipc.processCount.web</code> – number of processes across which web content is distributed. Higher count increases performance but consumes more memory, thus recommended for computers with much RAM. Four by default. * <code>general.autoScroll</code> – enable scrolling using middle mouse button press. * <code>devtools.chrome.enabled</code> – enable write access to browser console, accessed using Ctrl+Shift+J. * <code>browser.cache.disk.capacity</code>, <code>browser.cache.offline.capacity</code> disk cache capacity, mainly used for static resources to save bandwidth. Difference between values unclear yet. – Values in Kilobytes. * <code>places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages</code>: number of entries retained in the browsing history database (<code>places.sqlite</code> file). According to a moderator of Mozilla's support forum, the value is read-only by default but can be adjusted through the <code>places.history.expiration.max_pages</code> property, which has to be added manually.<ref>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1275209#answer-1274292 Answer to ''FF 71. Cannot change value in setting places.history.expiration.transient_current_max_pages'' | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support (December 17, 2019)]</ref> * <code>accessibility.blockautorefresh</code> – blocks "meta refreshes" and "meta redirects", meaning refreshes and redirects using the <code>meta http-equiv</code> tag, as well as redirects instructed by the <code>refresh</code> [[:w:HTTP header|HTTP header]]. However, it does not block JavaScript-based redirects and refreshes, i. e. <code>document.location.href</code>.<ref>[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1327430 ''Enable/disable automatic redirect. | Firefox Support Forum | Mozilla Support'' (2/26/21)]</ref> * <code>security.csp.enable</code> – Claimed by Mozilla to increase security against "cross-site scripting" (XSS) attacks.<ref>[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP Content Security Policy (CSP) - HTTP] from Mozilla Developers Network</ref> User reports suggest it interferes with the function of [[:w:JavaScript bookmarklet|bookmarklet]]s.<ref>[https://superuser.com/questions/586063/how-to-disable-csp-in-firefox-for-just-bookmarklets ''How to disable CSP in Firefox for just bookmarklets?'' – Super User]</ref> * <code>permissions.default.image</code> – 1: Load images as usual (default); 2: Do not load images (usually for testing purposes or to save bandwidth); 3: Only load images from the same domain.<ref>https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/981640</ref> * <code>media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.enabled</code> (or similar): show the picture-in-picture button in video players. * <code>security.dialog_enable_delay</code> – delay in milliseconds until the confirmation button in some dialogue boxes like downloading an executable file or installing an extension gets unlocked.

A high limit can slow down the browser on long pages. The default is 1000. * <code>browser.privatebrowsing.forceMediaMemoryCache</code> – While in [[:w:private_browsing|private browsing]], video and audio content is only cached into the computer's RAM, not the data storage. No such option exists for normal browsing as of early 2025. * <code>browser.menu.showViewImageInfo</code> – Show the "View Image Info" option in the context menu that appears when right-clicking a picture. * <code>intl.date_time.pattern_override.date_short</code> – Can be used to set a custom date and time format shown in various places such as the browsing history.

Learning resources and discussions may reflect this assumption. Parents are strongly advised to supervise their children and review resources before giving their child or children permission to use and contribute to Wikiversity. A machine readable notice must be placed at the top of resources intended to be appropriate for children, containing a general disclaimer which will hopefully permit access by child protection software. Resources intended to be appropriate for children must not depict adult situations, including files of an explicit or sexual nature, sexually suggestive content, discussion of drug use, or similar material. Resources without this machine readable notice may not be appropriate for children. Resources which no longer intend to be, no longer are, or are not appropriate for children must not include this machine readable notice. If you add inappropriate material or files to resources intended to be appropriate for children, you may be blocked for 7 days, unless there is a consensus that the resources in question should no longer attempt to be appropriate for children and the notice was removed beforehand. If a decision to block for more than 7 days is needed, discussion will begin at [[Wikiversity:Community Review]]. We are endeavoring to see whether child protection software can filter works which do not contain a machine readable notice. ==Bullying== [[File:Bully Free Zone.jpg|thumb|right|Bullying is counter-productive.]] Wikiversity has a zero tolerance policy towards bullying. You are expected to act with [[Wikiversity:Civility|civility]] towards one another. If you condone or bully another person you may be (temporarily) blocked. If you feel that another person on Wikiversity is behaving in a way that is distressing, please tell a responsible adult to [[Wikiversity:Request custodian action|notify the custodians]]. Do not continue to communicate with the other person. Do not give out personal information to anyone. See also: [[Wikiversity:Civility]] ==Pedophiles== Wikiversity has a zero tolerance policy regarding pedophiles. Anyone condoning pedophilia or identified as a pedophile will be blocked indefinitely. If you are a younger editor and feel that another person on Wikiversity is behaving in a way that you feel threatens your personal safety, please tell a responsible adult to [[Wikiversity:Request custodian action|notify the custodians]]. Do not continue to communicate with the other person. Do not give out personal information to anyone. ==Action== If you believe a person is violating this policy, please report it at [[Wikiversity:Request custodian action]]. If a decision by the community is needed the discussion may be moved to [[Wikiversity:Community Review]] for review by the community. ==See also== * [[Wikiversity:Privacy policy]] {{Official policies}} {{Proposed policies}} [[Category:Wikiversity policy]] [[ar:ويكي الجامعة:سياسة حماية الطفل]] 1mjsbpbx6vn90ith8wbg3do2arp27kl User:Jtneill/Admin 2 98506 2810082 1268927 2026-05-18T10:38:00Z Jtneill 10242 2810082 wikitext text/x-wiki {|- |- | <categorytree mode=all>Candidates for speedy deletion</categorytree> <categorytree mode=all>Requests for own page deletion</categorytree> [[:Category:Images with unknown copyright status]] [[:Category:Pending deletions]] [[:Category:Wikiversity pages needing to be renamed]] [[Wikiversity:Request custodian action|Request custodian action]] [[Wikiversity:Notices for custodians|Notices for custodians]] [[Wikiversity:Import|Import]] {{Policies}} {{Special:Newpages/25}} {{Administering Wikiversity horizontal}} <!-- | {{Administering Wikiversity}} --> |} {{opentask}} <noinclude>[[Category:User:Jtneill]]</noinclude> nqsl1ekn8knmp9a5d06ltib70vv722r Wikiversity:Requests for Deletion/header 4 102873 2810061 2752426 2026-05-18T09:43:02Z Jtneill 10242 + category and TOC 2810061 wikitext text/x-wiki __NEWSECTIONLINK__ <div style="text-align:center;"> [[Wikiversity:Deletions|Deletion guideline]] {{!}} [[Special:Log/delete|Deletion log]] {{!}} [[Wikiversity:Requests for Deletion/Archives|Archives]] {{#tag:inputbox | type=fulltext width=31 buttonlabel=Go searchbuttonlabel=Search break=no prefix={{FULLPAGENAME}}/Archives/ }} </div> {{RoundBoxTop}} {{shortcut|WV:RFD|WV:DR}} We welcome and appreciate [[WV:CIVIL|civil]] discussion of '''requests to delete or undelete''' pages when reasonable objections are made or are likely, the advice in [[Wikiversity:Deletions]] is followed, and other options have failed.

Wikiversity is a cross between a university itself (courses, students, teachers, and what they do) and a university library (collection of written and other resources). Hence Wikiversity is naturally far more "inclusionist" than the other wikis, generally. We may have pages with personal opinions, fringe ideas, original research, etc. We do have a neutrality requirement, which means that, ultimately, fringe ideas should not be given prominence beyond their position in the full educated world, but that has to do with placement and framing, not with the very existence of the material. A Wikiversity custodian will come across all kinds of odd material, material that is more properly an encyclopedia article, that is poorly written, that is personal in nature, i.e., "private ruminations." It's easy to just delete such material, but if you have ever worked on a page and seen it deleted, you will understand how disconcerting this can be. Custodians are charged with the task of balancing benefit to the community and the wiki and the user base, with benefit and education and service to individual users. We often have many options available that allow us to serve both goals and keep order at the same time. *'''Even nonsense pages might be userfied,''' i.e., moved to the user space of the user. A nonsense page that is pure vandalism should be deleted, but be careful: what looks like vandalism to you might be a labor of love for a 7-year-old user, and, yes, we have had such, and with some love and care, they may become full-blown students and eventually regular content creators. But a nonsense page does not belong in mainspace. If the creator has created an account, they can be moved to the user's user space. Redirect would normally be suppressed, but the user should be informed, if you have time. Invite them, don't blame them. Let them know that they are welcome to write a new [[w:Jabberwocky]] in their user space. For pages created by IP users, see [[Wikiversity:Playspace]]. You may create your own playspace, if you are willing to monitor the pages placed there. If it's your playspace, you can call it anything you want (some have thought that "play" was a negative term, and education is Seriuz Bizness). *'''Something inappropriate in the top level of mainspace might have a place as a subpage.''' Student exercises, which are often a form of original research, can exist as subpages of a course or seminar. Essays can be there. Ordinary editors can handle this, it doesn't require custodial tools. *'''Check for speedy deletion templates.''' If you agree with the deletion request, you ''may'' delete. However, if you think that it might possibly be controversial, generally, you should not delete. You should remove the tag and request deletion on [[Wikiversity:Requests for deletion]]. Give ''your'' reasons for deletion, do not present this as a deletion request from someone else, though you might link to a prior speedy request. You will be the responsible nominator. If you disagree with the deletion, you may remove the tag. Be sure to give a reason with the edit. Do we have a template to notify deletion requestors of procedure? I.e., that they may formally request deletion on the RfD page? *'''Linkspam.''' One person's linkspam is another's useful links. Sometimes linkspam is really obvious, an account is created, immediately places the links, and they are to, say, a term paper site offering to write your term paper for you for a fee. These edits can be rolled back, and, if the editor repeats them, the editor may be blocked. Generally, on Wikiversity, you should not shut down Talk page access, except for very good cause. Necessity, really. A spammer might also become a useful contributor! Usually, spammers won't even be looking at that user talk page. It's the exception that we are considering here. A site owner may well be an expert in an involved subject. If the site owner can be engaged, instead of just blocked and rejected for spamming, they might help create resources on their favorite topic, and then they might even be able to place -- or suggest -- a link to their site! If the site has been globally blacklisted, which often happens with sincere enthusiasts who place links all over the WMF, we can whitelist it locally, and this will provide a return path for these people. So encourage people with a Conflict of Interest to disclose it. We will expect these people to cooperate, not to demand or dominate with revert warring, sock puppetry, etc. Open the door to cooperation while closing the door to pure spam. In a recent case, a user placed a series of "useful links" on her user page. These were really, almost certainly, linkspam. However, the user page wasn't deleted, rather the links were deleted and the user was gently informed. She may never show up again, but ... it was really about as easy as deletion of that page, and is far more welcoming. *'''Repeated linkspam.''' Use the [[MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist]] to block obvious spamlinks. Do not use the blacklist for "content control," only for spam. Get help if you don't understand how to use the spam blacklist, it can cause collateral damage. There might be individual pages whitelisted even if an overall site is blacklisted here or on the global blacklist. *Wikiversity is a mess. And Wikiversity represents vast possibilities. We can clean up the mess, one page at a time, while enhancing the possibilities. Large communities in the United States used to always have junkyards and shops which sold used material. Something was lost when these places closed down. Let's get mainspace in order -- it's a huge job and we will need to recruit many to accomplish it -- while welcoming everyone, to the maximum extent possible.

I recommend essentially using Wikibooks' policy. I imagine that people more familiar with Wikiversity that I will make some minor relevant changes, but the spirit should be the same. All uploads need to have appropriate source and license information. If they don't, it gets {{tlx|no license}} and deleted after a week if no change is made. Perhaps you'll want it to be 2 weeks or somesuch. This is a fairly basic way of protecting the Foundation and the project from liability. I've only added a little blurb - it should certainly be expanded, or perhaps moved to an image use policy/policy proposal. '''&ndash; [[User:Mike.lifeguard|{{font|color=Indigo|Mike.lifeguard}}]]''' &#124; <sup>[[User talk:Mike.lifeguard|{{font|color=Indigo|talk}}]]</sup> 00:45, 3 October 2007 (UTC) :I want to raise for discussion the "game" that has long been played at Wikimedia wiki projects. We allow participants to upload media files without requiring that they provide copyright and licensing information. Then we set up policies for deleting media files that are uploaded without copyright and licensing information. Many Wikiversity participants frequently see this: "You agree to license your contributions under the GFDL," and it is not unreasonable if they assume that the media files they upload are licensed under the GFDL by default. Given these conditions, it seems silly and destructive to let Wikiversity participants create and upload media files only to have us delete them later when we decide that not enough copyright and licensing information exists for those files. If we want to actually require that Wikiversity participants provide copyright and licensing information then we should make it impossible to upload files without selecting check boxes that indicate basic copyright and licensing information for each file. I believe that our legal obligations do not require that we automatically delete all media files that lack copyright and licensing information. However, if I am wrong about that, then it seems like we should make it impossible to upload files without selecting check boxes that indicate basic copyright and licensing information for each file. --[[User:JWSchmidt|JWSchmidt]] 03:34, 3 October 2007 (UTC) :*The key point is that the image is uploaded with a licence. The common method of indication of this fact is a tag. However, this is not the only means - for example, a public statement on his user page that it is so is also possible. Thus, :*Is the tag mandated by the Foundation? :**If not, is the tag formally mandated by the community? :***If not, are there good reasons that it should be so? :****If so, should these rules apply retrospectively? [[User:Hillgentleman|Hillgentleman]]|[[User talk:hillgentleman|Talk]] 20:10, 5 October 2007 (UTC) ::Licence information is definitely required (or should be). As a rule, it should done on a per-image basis, since the ''vast'' majority of people do not upload images which are all under the same licence. Certainly a declaration on a userpage is legally sufficient, but policy can equally require more than what's legally necessary. At they very least, a link to said declaration should be required; otherwise, how is one to know that the image(s) are licenced as such? If that's the case, then it's just as easy (in fact, easier) to append a licence template to the image at upload. Nevertheless, the policy should include that those declarations are valid, and that the image should be tagged with the appropriate template instead of being deleted ''if the admin is aware of the declaration''. As well, users adding {{tlxs|nld}} should be encouraged to apply the appropriate template if a userpage declaration is made. ::As for deleting images without licence information, I'm quite sure that your legal obligations compel you to do so. As for requiring a licence to be chosen from the drop-down before upload will complete, I'd say that instead, the default should be {{tlxs|nld}} - this gives uploaders x amount of time (1 week currently) to add licence information before it's considered a candidate for speedy deletion. On en.wb, we've added a nifty little feature which automatically moves images from Category:Images with unknown copyright status to Category:Candidates for speedy deletion after 7 days, which makes things easier to manage. A warning to that effect should be added to the appropriate Mediawiki: page. ::As a point of mitigation, you should try (I would say that this should be required by policy) to get images uploaded to Commons unless they're fair use. Not only does this offload a burden from the local community to a community which is dedicated solely to this area, but it also allows the images to be used on any WMF project (and indeed beyond).

Its worked rather well so far on WB in catching people and helping them to understand what needs to be done and the importance of doing so. Since the no license tag and the upload msg itself both contain a link to read up on it, it also catches people who are willing to read up on it before uploading. It decreases dishonesty, provides a quick way to categorize files which are going to have to be deleted if there not fixed anyways, decreases the work load of manually finding images that need to be marked for deletion and decreases WB's chances of having a backlog again. --<span style="font: bold 10pt 'courier new', comic, sans, ms;">[[User:Darklama|{{font|color=midnightblue|dark}}]][[Image:Yin yang.svg|12px]][[User_talk:Darklama|{{font|color=green|lama}}]]</span> 12:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC) === Having Wikiversity participants learn about licensing before uploading files === *I'm trying to compare and contrast the "I don't know" upload (Wikipedia's "solution") with an alternative approach in which we would have Wikiversity participants learn about licensing before they upload files. It strikes me as a logical contradiction to say that we absolutely must delete files that do not have licensing information but we invite people to upload files without licensing information. I do not believe that the Wikipedia "I don't know" upload is the best path for us to take when Wikiversity participants do not know what license to use. If we adopt the Wikipedia "I don't know" upload approach then we are adopting a strategy based on bad faith assumptions about Wikiversity participants: that they will lie about the licensing of files if they are not allowed to upload files when they select "I don't know". I think we should assume good faith. The culture of Wikiversity should be such that participants are encouraged to say "I don't know" and when they do so they should be efficiently directed to learning resources that will help them learn what they do not know. I'm troubled when I see a few Wikiversity participants who are eager to assume the worst during a rush to delete the work of other Wikiversity participants. Yes, Wikiversity has some files that are not correctly licensed, but there need be no rush to delete them. Wikiversity has allowed people to upload files without licensing information, so we have created this problem. In my view, we should find ways of explaining to Wikiversity participants how to correctly license their files. Wikiversity is supposed to be a place for people to learn, not a place for good faith editors to be harassed by people who think every problem can be solved with a template. "This approach is good enough for Wikipedia" does not satisfy me. Wikipedia has a serious problem due to alienation of good faith editors. I'm not as familiar with Wikibooks, but my experience there has been that Wikibooks has essentially adopted the Wikipedia approach which includes zealots charging around threatening to deleting uploaded files without even bothering to read the licensing information provided by the people who uploaded the files. This has happened to me repeatedly at both Wikipedia and Wikibooks. People invent a new system of templates and then threaten to delete all files that do not display those templates. I spent a large amount amount of time making image files for those projects, but I don't anymore because of the harassment that was directed at me because I did not use someone's magic template. I'm not pleased to see the same thing happen to Wikiversity participants. I welcome the help of people who want to get licensing information for Wikiversity files, but I'd like to see some serious attention paid to [[Wikiversity:Assume Good Faith]]. It might take more work to educate Wikiversity participants about licenses but we should make the effort required rather than risk driving away people who are good faith contributors. I know from personal experience that systems of warning templates can drive good faith editors away from wiki communities, so lets discus our options here and not just do a knee-jerk "but its good enough for Wikipedia". --[[User:JWSchmidt|JWSchmidt]] 18:21, 7 October 2007 (UTC) ::I don't feel particularly part of Wikiversity, so I'm not going to harp on about what I think you should do, save to reiterate that you need a policy and that the Wikibooks system works for us (and I think it can work for you). ::Regardless of the above discussion about ''policy'', do you want {{tlxs|nld}} added to your untagged images?

A month or two ago I tried to categorize all the .ogg files and found about half a dozen files without licensing information. Most (if not all) of those oggs are probably files created by Wikiversity participants specifically for use at Wikiversity. I suspect that Wikiversity probably has a significant number of files without licensing information and I agree that we should try to do something about this problem. I do not really like [[Template:No license]] because I'm not sure Wikiversity has a policy structure to support its rather heavy-handed approach. When I went looking for a deletion template, the best I could find at [[:Category:Deletion templates]] was [[Template:Deletion request]]. Later I came across [[Template:GFDL-presumed]], which seems like it could be applied to most of our unlicensed ogg files. One thing I do not like about [[Template:No license]] is. "consider notifying the uploader on their talk page". I think we should always notifying the uploader unless we are dealing with some kind of image vandalism (in which case we just delete the file). I think there are probably two main classes of existing files without good licensing information. First, files from active participants at Wikiversity. In dealing with these files, the emphasis can really be on education.....making sure that Wikiversity participants understand how to license their contributions. In the case of the off files I looked at, the files without licensing information were from editors who did not spend much time at Wikiversity and seem to have moved on.....there does not seem to be much hope of contacting these former participants, but I think [[Template:GFDL-presumed]] is a reasonable option for most of the files they uploaded. The other issue facing Wikiversity is creating a system that will deal effectively with new file uploads. I'm thinking we should start a discussion thread at [[Wikiversity:Colloquium]], do a post about this issue to the Wikiversity mailing list and try to get participation from as many Wikiversity participants as possible. Maybe a key issue is design of a version of [[Template:No license]] that fits better with the Wikiversity community and emphasizes education about licenses rather than threats. I think Wikiversity now has a good start on pages with information about licensing and we should try to direct everyone who uploads files towards those pages. --[[User:JWS|JWS]] 15:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC) == So, is this criteria for SPEEDY deletion then? == It kinda seems weird to call this a deletion policy, when it seems more like a speedy deletion policy.

The former. 2. It says "keep" and "delete": these are rules. Many of those contain some amount of reasoning accompanying the rules, but the emphasis appears to be on what to "keep" or "delete", as if it were a hard and fast thing. I don't feel that such an emphasis is appropriate for deletion discussions, though it may be appropriate for speedy deletion. I think that, for non-speedy pages, a list format emphasizing keep/delete should be avoided, and we should instead perhaps provide something along the lines of "Potential reasons to keep a page" and "potential reasons to delete a page". Some pages, of course, may contain elements from both lists.

You may also begin discussion at Requests for Deletion if you disagree with a deletion, or a deletion is not obvious or not self-evident to you.}} I note the recent changes by Darklama including the addition of the above. I think the idea that custodians should feel free to immediately undelete anything which they don't understand why has been deleted needs discussing. I don't think this is a good idea. If a custodian has deleted something, they have reached the conclusion that it doesn't benefit the project or is actually detrimental to it. I don't think not understanding why something has been deleted should mean it should be immediately undeleted. We should respect that the deleting custodian wouldn't have taken that action if they didn't feel it appropriate and in the interests of Wikiversity. That should mean that if we can't understand the reason why a page has been deleted, we assume the deleting custodian had a good reason and ask them to help us understand it. These changes do seem to remind me of a recent situation where this action was taken and I think the outcome was worse than what it would have been had some discussion between those concerned and the user involved in deleting the page. I won't beat about the bush, the situation I'm thinking of, and what I suspect has inspired these changes is that involving Jimbo and SB Johnny. That, I feel, is a good demonstration of why custodians ''should'' discuss any concerns about deletion with the custodian involved. Jimbo in that situation specifically asked that the page wasn't deleted without consulting him. Had that taken place we might have been able to more quickly appreciate that undeletion wouldn't be a wise move. As it was, more drama resulted from as the page was deleted again, SB Johnny's rights were removed, then reinstated, then removed again at SB Johnny's request. It was possible that if SB Johnny had waited for some feedback from Jimbo to his concerns, Jimbo might have made it clear that undeletion wasn't an option for the community at that point and so some of that drama could have been avoided. So, to conclude, I don't believe that undeletion without attempting to discuss the issue with the custodian involved is a good idea. I don't think we should encourage an environment where custodians reverse the actions of other custodians without trying to discuss any of their concerns. That a deletion seems to be a bad idea, doesn't necessarily make it a good idea to instantly reverse it. [[User:Adambro|Adambro]] 08:00, 1 April 2010 (UTC) : Yes the change was partially a reflection of the situation with Jimbo. He should of discussed it from the start because he could already see a need for a further explanation since he asked that his use of the tools not be undone. That is what "cases that may require further explanation" is about. I believe SB_Johnny undeleted for two reasons 1) to allow a transparent discussion of the pages to be discussed at requests for deletion, and 2) the reason for deletion was not obvious and not self-exploratory to him. The change you quote is a reflection on the need to discuss such deletions further in a transparent way when there is any doubt about the obviousness of a deletion. In the same edit I also added "Custodians should assume good faith, if another custodian has undeleted a page, abstain from any further action with custodian tools — let the Wikiversity community decide what to do." I believe cases where a page is speedy deleted for obvious reasons, and another person or custodian thinks the reason is not obvious that the deletion can no longer be justified as being obvious, and so must favor undeletion and discussion by the Wikiversity community. That part is to ensure that people do not continuously delete and undelete pages and instead let the Wikiversity community decide. : We could argue about what should of been done to prevent things from going as far as they did, but I think there are many ways to reflect on that. I think building consensus is the best way to reduce drama and decide what to do when there is disagreement about the right thing to do. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 12:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC) :Oh also forgot to say, even though this is partially a reflection of the situation with Jimbo, it is more about reflecting on what can be done differently in the future when there is disagreement between two or more custodians on what to do. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 12:38, 1 April 2010 (UTC) ::Would you not agree that a discussion with the relevent custodian would be most appropriate in the first instance? As you've said, "custodians should assume good faith". Shouldn't that extend to custodians who for whatever reason don't understand the reasons for a deletion? Surely custodians should work on the assumption that the deletion was appropriate even if they don't understand it and first ask the relevant custodian for clarification. What is obvious to some people might not be obvious to others. There can sometimes be complicated reasons why a page should be speedily deleted but those reasons might not be apparent from looking at the page and the deletion summary. If custodians aren't able to understand the reason something has been deleted they should first ask the custodian involved. That custodian may be in a position to assess whether it is appropriate to discuss it on Wiki or if discussions need to be conducted privately for example. Rushing to undelete something is often not a good idea. [[User:Adambro|Adambro]] 13:00, 1 April 2010 (UTC) ::: Some sort of balance has to be found. What about the custodian that thinks the reason is not obvious and believes the person that created the page was acting in good faith. Should the good faith of the authors of the page be ignored in all of this? Undeleting should not be seen a sign that the deleting custodian was not acting in good faith, rather that the undeleted custodian was acting on the presumption that the authors were acting in good faith and that further discussion with community involvement is needed. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 13:34, 1 April 2010 (UTC) ::: If the reasons for deleting are complicated, I think that is more reason to discuss the reasons with the community. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 13:42, 1 April 2010 (UTC) == Community Review == This policy is the subject of [[Wikiversity:Community_Review/Problematic actions/Policy development#Page Deletion|Community Review]]. --[[User:JWSchmidt|JWSchmidt]] 15:45, 30 July 2010 (UTC) == Proposed clarification of policy regarding closures. == TCNSV reverted my proposed explanations of closing policy on this page.[http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity:Deletion_policy&curid=5572&diff=736840&oldid=736838] There is currently no explanation of how deletions are closed, and as a result, there is continued confusion. In that vacuum, there has been regular reversion of closes contrary to what this guideline suggests, as if there were some other policy, and, as a result, the RfD page has filled with very old discussions. TCNSV wrote, ''(rv significant change to deletion policy ideas; this may be supported in theory but not in practice)''. First of all, if it is supported in theory, it not a "significant change," it would be an explanation of what already might be expected. I've done many "involved closes," because I've been active in trying both to clean up Wikiversity and in preserving Wikiversity's remarkable academic freedom. TCNSV has reverted many of these, to no effect. In no case so far has a discussion result changed as a result of his reverts. With many of these, he was the nominator, specially involved himself. Requiring that the nominator abstain from re-opening a closed discussion is a simple device to ensure that there is community support for continuing a discussion. Keeping discussions open for a long time represses community participation; late-comers see a lengthy or old discussion and just skip it. So should it be true that a deletion should be discussed further, it should be done through a new nomination that considers all the old arguments (and refers to the old discussion, which a future closer may consider). TCNSV has claimed that my closes are disruptive, see [[Wikiversity talk:Requests for Deletion#The actual closes]], and the associated discussion, but I haven't missed it once yet, whereas TCNSV has nominated many pages that have not been deleted, and has reopened many discussions without any positive result or benefit to the community, simply wasting time and space on the RfD page. Clarifying the policy is the first step in cleaning this up. I ask TCNSV to consider what could be included from the reverted section, or write something appropriate to cover this territory, and we can then discuss what remains controversial. The ordinary principle that a closer should not be "involved," i.e., have expressed an opinion, is great when there are hundreds of active editors reviewing discussions. When there are very few, it creates what we have had: a long RfD page, with contentious discussions that just sit there for a long time, nobody wants to touch them because simply reading what already exists takes too much time. I attempt to maximize consensus when closing, as should any closer; and where consensus or some approach to it is not clear, I close as No Consensus, which does allow anyone who still wants the page deleted to renominate with new evidence and arguments. We do not discuss for the sake of discussion, but to discover and maximize consensus. It seems that at the end of these discussions, sometimes recently, there is just TCNSV and me, I'm closing as keep or No Consensus -- I can't do Delete closes -- and he's reverting the close, even if it has been many months, and if we disagree, that's No Consensus in itself, and neither of us should take an action that prejudices the future of the community. No Consensus defaults to Keep For Now, in effect. I have not closed any discussions as Keep or No Consensus where there seemed to be any chance that the tide would reverse in any reasonable time. That should be enough. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 19:12, 18 April 2011 (UTC) *Darklama [http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity%3ADeletion_policy&action=historysubmit&diff=736853&oldid=736840 added different wording], with less detail than what I'd written, with shorter time periods, but substantially the same.

[[User:TeleComNasSprVen|TeleComNasSprVen]] 19:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC) == Page created with guideline for closers and clerks for RfD == I wrote [[Wikiversity:Requests for Deletion/Closing process and clerking]] as a page proposed to be linked from the RfD page under the section on procedure, to cover the other end of Deletion process, guidelines for closers. Most of this would be too much detail for this page, it's procedural, and detailed. It's intended as a guideline, not as a policy, as such, it should be flexible and easily revised, as actual experience reveals problems. Wikis were originally created for user-generated manuals, but for some reason, WMF wikis went radically against "instruction creep," which is really only a problem when "instructions" are considered rigid rules. Step-by-step, easily understandable guidelines, make for a much more open environment, where people feel freer to contribute. As written, it is both guideline and explanation of why parts of the guideline are suggested. The final guideline may be condensed, but, for now, I'd appreciate review of the ''sense'' of it. I've also set up an undefined position, "clerk." I'm not proposing any special qualifications for clerks, and what is described for clerks there could, mostly, be the work of a bot. Archiving under the proposed method could easily be done by a bot: look for an archived section that sticks for a week, and move the material to an archive page, with headers as described. Much archiving in the past has been done by someone cutting a pile of RfD sections, all at once, with some edit summary like "archive old" and then popping it down into an archive with a summary like "+6", all of which sometimes makes it harder to find where a discussion went, without reviewing a lot of diffs or looking through many TOCs. While there are ways around this, it is actually easy to do what I've proposed, and it creates one edit per discussion per page, it's trivial to review and see what has been done and by whom, which is important for transparency. Since I've been doing it this way, as well, I look at each RfD, which makes it easy to remember to check for leftover tasks. A number of RfD tags, I found, weren't ever removed from pages.... And checking all this led me to look at all RfD tags and clean up a number that had never resulted in filed RfDs. In one case, I think, I replaced the RfD tag with a speedy deletion tag.... Others, where I didn't think deletion was so obvious, I simply removed the incorrect RfD tag. Anyone can look over my contributions and disagree with me, simple to add a deletion tag if deletion is obvious, or to actually nominate for deletion if it isn't. I've had an amazing sense of appreciation for the Wikiversity community, doing this work for the past few weeks. I agree with practically every decision that's been made, I can't think of any exceptions, recently, -- there might be one soon!, but hey, one exception, that's fantastic! -- and that is a radical reversal from my Wikipedia experience, where watching AfD was practically constant aggravation. (I agreed with many decisions there, but also found many to be, essentially abusive, dominated by users who clearly watched AfD process with an axe to grind, piling in within minutes of a nomination with "Delete per nom," practically no effort at all, and obviously no time spent investigating possible sources, etc., but confusing some closers.) --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 02:12, 24 April 2011 (UTC) :Instruction creep has come to mean creep, which means that even the most friendly suggestion will eventually be used by someone (fascist) to hurt someone else.

That happens when "instructions" are considered to be rules, with punishment for violation of rules. However, if guidelines represent a relatively safe harbor, where response is relatively predictable, the effect can be opposite. No set of rules or guidelines can protect against a substantial faction that is bent on abuse, it takes community culture to do that. ::The irony here is that wikis were originally developed and applied to create user-generated software or system manuals. The tragedy is that Wikipedia did not develop efficient and reliable methods for estimating community consensus, relying on ad-hoc appearance of whoever, which is then easily warped by selective participation and awareness. Wiki theory would have disputes escalating in attention as needed, but effective large-scale attention requires careful deliberative process, because the knee-jerk reactions of a large audience are little better than those from a small audience. Attempts to improve the process have been resisted as "creating bureaucracy" and, yes, "instruction creep." The lack of "instructions" -- guidelines -- means that, then extra power is held by the users who have developed skill in crowd influence, and those users, by the conditions of the problem, have the ability to resist change. ::Wikiversity is running close to the edge, though, in terms of volunteer attention to core processes.

The procedures page establishes a baseline that allows the RfD page to be cleaned up and for Wikiversity to move on without prejudice. The page refers to "clerks," and suggests clerking procedure. Clerks are a device for extending custodial tasks beyond those who hold the tools, and we may eventually want to formally name clerks. But, by following a guideline like that, anyone may actually clerk, and anyone else may check their work.

Before a policy is adopted we need to give a timescale for people to consider the issues - I would suggest 14 days from the poll starting but other people might have better ideas. When the policy has been agreed, the policy should be page protected with a link to [[Wikiversity:Deletion policy/Proposed ammendments]] where any subsequent ammendments could be put forward, with further discussion on the rleevant talk page.

Unfortunately this may amount to vandalism of resources here. # not met. # not met. # not met. # '''Archaic redirects''' - unknown but probably unlikely. # not met. # not met. # not met. So resource meets possibly two to three criteria for speedy deletion. '''Proposed''' deletion: "Resources may be eligible for proposed deletion when activity ceases for 90 days or more, further development may be difficult, education objectives and learning outcomes are scarce, and objections to deletion are unlikely." : 90 days or more - last update was August 25, 2011, : further development may be difficult - probably, : education objectives and learning outcomes are scarce - none stated, : objections to deletion are unlikely - questionable. From [[Overview of economic schools of thought]]: "It is arguably now the dominant school of economics, being taught in most major universities." When the context use of "school" is meant as an assemblage or association, the two-word phrase "dominant school" is a relative synonym for the [[Dominant group/Proof of concept|technical term]] "dominant group". The use of the apparent technical or theoretical term "dominant school" suggests either research or original research. On the same colloquium page is "The resource should be structured into lessons, which exist as subpages linked to on the main resource page." under '''Suggested minimum requirements for stand-alone resources'''. Such a prerequisite is a well-known foil against research or original research, for which Wikiversity is the only significant wikimedia home. * {{Oppose}} - nearly all of your efforts here have been positive and beneficial to forming an alternative deletion policy statement. I have compared your hard work and sincere effort with the earlier version before this discussion began and found little actual change with one important exception, "Deletion can harm Wikiversity when participants are lost and works that could have become useful with enough time are removed." This point in quotes from the older policy is very important at least to me. [[User:Marshallsumter|Marshallsumter]] 00:57, 31 January 2012 (UTC) *:Is there an alternative formulation of this quote you could support? Or perhaps it is sufficient for your support that the essence of this quote be elevated to policy in some form? --[[User:HappyCamper|HappyCamper]] 15:45, 6 February 2012 (UTC) *:: I think an alternative formulation of the quoted text is already present in the proposal in several forms with stronger and clearer reasoning, "resources can often blossom when you teach participants good practices and they learn how to implement concrete improvements", "participants may be able to learn how to implement concrete improvements when taught appropriate practices", and "the preferred outcome is one participants can learn from to implement concrete improvements". I think the language in the newer proposal is also stronger and clearer about prohibiting speedy and proposed deletions when objections are made or are likely. I think overall the tone leans towards how keeping helps Wikiversity, participants, and resources, and addresses ways to make the process benefit Wikiversity, participants, and resources. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 18:26, 6 February 2012 (UTC) :: The latter is good as are the points made by [[User:Darklama|Darklama]]. My concern is that 'deletion' per se not be elevated to 'contribution' such as a resource or to a resource. Clearly there are things that need to be deleted, but I believe it's important for any custodian or nominator, especially, to think about it rather than delete to contribute. Deletion is a loss, sometimes an important loss such as vandalism or requests for one's own mistakes or no longer needed files to be deleted. Other instances are not good. Consider [[Gift economy]]. I contributed to it because the concept of the resource is important. I did not remove the deletion tag because that could promote a 'deletion' war. Perhaps, with the sentence in quotes aboard the deletion policy a user such as [[User:Rf|Rf]] would not be so hasty to slap a deletion tag on what the user perceives as 'cruft' yet is economically important. Each un- or underdeveloped economics resource the user has so tagged is such. None should be deleted. The irritating part if I may add is that the resource creators opened the resource, did next to nothing, then, vanished. As an author I enjoy creating a resource first, adding to a resource someone else created second, responding to a deletion discussion last. Deletion tags do not promote discussion. Instead, it's like a terrorist holding a loaded weapon to a creative person's head. Save it or they'll destroy it. No! Delete them all if that's the mentality we wish to promote. I hope this makes some sense! [[User:Marshallsumter|Marshallsumter]] 19:02, 6 February 2012 (UTC) ::: I think the consider contributing rather than deletion point is covered by the alternatives to deletion section. People make hasty decisions for a number of reasons. I think haste is something best addressed by educating people who are hasty, and not something that can be adequately addressed through policy. I think to better promote discussion, a possibly drastic change in approach might be required, such as having a quality review process instead of a deletion process, where people discuss resources for many possibly reasons besides deletion, like to nominate a resource as a featured resource, to get community feedback for ways to improve a resource, etc. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 20:33, 6 February 2012 (UTC) ::: While again I agree with what [[User:Darklama|Darklama]] is writing, I believe the problem is more significant. To me no editor, contributor, resource creator should have the power to put other resources up for deletion. This perhaps should be a custodian's privilege. Even then a discussion may be requested before a deletion tag is placed. A large consensus to delete or not isn't needed, but 3-5 opinions pro & con written before the custodian proceeds even if against the deletion tag would be good. But, this has probably been tried before and custodial time is probably maxed as is. A second suggestion which may not be possible computer-wise is a rigorous lower limit of say 2000 bytes before even a genuine contribution is saved into resource space. This would put all such that are smaller back on user pages, a list could be available for content ideas, and resource creators who desire to do so can have the credit rather than having resource creator credit going to anyone who puts 500 bytes into resource space. I hope this helps. [[User:Marshallsumter|Marshallsumter]] 22:20, 6 February 2012 (UTC) :::: I think many people would simply ignore a restriction to where they can create resources or who can tag resources for deletion. Policy is expected to reflect actual practice as much as possible, and not attempt to change current practices. I think even my own comment about using a quality review process instead of a deletion process would be ignored because that isn't what people do or expect. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 13:56, 8 February 2012 (UTC) : Thank you for your comment! While I personally prefer discussion before a deletion tag is applied, and we have such opportunities, there is much to be said about deleting un- or underdeveloped resources and starting over. I guess I see conforming to what people do or expect such as on Wikipedia as a loss of the very individual freedom that makes Wikiversity better. My gut response, probably inappropriate, is to let them remain ignorant. If my reverting to support will allow the policy to be tested for its positive benefits, then consider this as such.

I recommend essentially using Wikibooks' policy. I imagine that people more familiar with Wikiversity that I will make some minor relevant changes, but the spirit should be the same. All uploads need to have appropriate source and license information. If they don't, it gets {{tlx|no license}} and deleted after a week if no change is made. Perhaps you'll want it to be 2 weeks or somesuch. This is a fairly basic way of protecting the Foundation and the project from liability.

We allow participants to upload media files without requiring that they provide copyright and licensing information. Then we set up policies for deleting media files that are uploaded without copyright and licensing information. Many Wikiversity participants frequently see this: "You agree to license your contributions under the GFDL," and it is not unreasonable if they assume that the media files they upload are licensed under the GFDL by default. Given these conditions, it seems silly and destructive to let Wikiversity participants create and upload media files only to have us delete them later when we decide that not enough copyright and licensing information exists for those files. If we want to actually require that Wikiversity participants provide copyright and licensing information then we should make it impossible to upload files without selecting check boxes that indicate basic copyright and licensing information for each file. I believe that our legal obligations do not require that we automatically delete all media files that lack copyright and licensing information.

As a rule, it should done on a per-image basis, since the ''vast'' majority of people do not upload images which are all under the same licence. Certainly a declaration on a userpage is legally sufficient, but policy can equally require more than what's legally necessary. At they very least, a link to said declaration should be required; otherwise, how is one to know that the image(s) are licenced as such? If that's the case, then it's just as easy (in fact, easier) to append a licence template to the image at upload. Nevertheless, the policy should include that those declarations are valid, and that the image should be tagged with the appropriate template instead of being deleted ''if the admin is aware of the declaration''. As well, users adding {{tlxs|nld}} should be encouraged to apply the appropriate template if a userpage declaration is made. ::As for deleting images without licence information, I'm quite sure that your legal obligations compel you to do so. As for requiring a licence to be chosen from the drop-down before upload will complete, I'd say that instead, the default should be {{tlxs|nld}} - this gives uploaders x amount of time (1 week currently) to add licence information before it's considered a candidate for speedy deletion. On en.wb, we've added a nifty little feature which automatically moves images from Category:Images with unknown copyright status to Category:Candidates for speedy deletion after 7 days, which makes things easier to manage. A warning to that effect should be added to the appropriate Mediawiki: page. ::As a point of mitigation, you should try (I would say that this should be required by policy) to get images uploaded to Commons unless they're fair use.

If we adopt the Wikipedia "I don't know" upload approach then we are adopting a strategy based on bad faith assumptions about Wikiversity participants: that they will lie about the licensing of files if they are not allowed to upload files when they select "I don't know". I think we should assume good faith. The culture of Wikiversity should be such that participants are encouraged to say "I don't know" and when they do so they should be efficiently directed to learning resources that will help them learn what they do not know. I'm troubled when I see a few Wikiversity participants who are eager to assume the worst during a rush to delete the work of other Wikiversity participants. Yes, Wikiversity has some files that are not correctly licensed, but there need be no rush to delete them. Wikiversity has allowed people to upload files without licensing information, so we have created this problem. In my view, we should find ways of explaining to Wikiversity participants how to correctly license their files. Wikiversity is supposed to be a place for people to learn, not a place for good faith editors to be harassed by people who think every problem can be solved with a template. "This approach is good enough for Wikipedia" does not satisfy me. Wikipedia has a serious problem due to alienation of good faith editors. I'm not as familiar with Wikibooks, but my experience there has been that Wikibooks has essentially adopted the Wikipedia approach which includes zealots charging around threatening to deleting uploaded files without even bothering to read the licensing information provided by the people who uploaded the files. This has happened to me repeatedly at both Wikipedia and Wikibooks. People invent a new system of templates and then threaten to delete all files that do not display those templates. I spent a large amount amount of time making image files for those projects, but I don't anymore because of the harassment that was directed at me because I did not use someone's magic template. I'm not pleased to see the same thing happen to Wikiversity participants. I welcome the help of people who want to get licensing information for Wikiversity files, but I'd like to see some serious attention paid to [[Wikiversity:Assume Good Faith]]. It might take more work to educate Wikiversity participants about licenses but we should make the effort required rather than risk driving away people who are good faith contributors. I know from personal experience that systems of warning templates can drive good faith editors away from wiki communities, so lets discus our options here and not just do a knee-jerk "but its good enough for Wikipedia". --[[User:JWSchmidt|JWSchmidt]] 18:21, 7 October 2007 (UTC) ::I don't feel particularly part of Wikiversity, so I'm not going to harp on about what I think you should do, save to reiterate that you need a policy and that the Wikibooks system works for us (and I think it can work for you). ::Regardless of the above discussion about ''policy'', do you want {{tlxs|nld}} added to your untagged images?

A month or two ago I tried to categorize all the .ogg files and found about half a dozen files without licensing information. Most (if not all) of those oggs are probably files created by Wikiversity participants specifically for use at Wikiversity. I suspect that Wikiversity probably has a significant number of files without licensing information and I agree that we should try to do something about this problem. I do not really like [[Template:No license]] because I'm not sure Wikiversity has a policy structure to support its rather heavy-handed approach. When I went looking for a deletion template, the best I could find at [[:Category:Deletion templates]] was [[Template:Deletion request]]. Later I came across [[Template:GFDL-presumed]], which seems like it could be applied to most of our unlicensed ogg files. One thing I do not like about [[Template:No license]] is. "consider notifying the uploader on their talk page". I think we should always notifying the uploader unless we are dealing with some kind of image vandalism (in which case we just delete the file). I think there are probably two main classes of existing files without good licensing information. First, files from active participants at Wikiversity. In dealing with these files, the emphasis can really be on education.....making sure that Wikiversity participants understand how to license their contributions. In the case of the off files I looked at, the files without licensing information were from editors who did not spend much time at Wikiversity and seem to have moved on.....there does not seem to be much hope of contacting these former participants, but I think [[Template:GFDL-presumed]] is a reasonable option for most of the files they uploaded. The other issue facing Wikiversity is creating a system that will deal effectively with new file uploads. I'm thinking we should start a discussion thread at [[Wikiversity:Colloquium]], do a post about this issue to the Wikiversity mailing list and try to get participation from as many Wikiversity participants as possible. Maybe a key issue is design of a version of [[Template:No license]] that fits better with the Wikiversity community and emphasizes education about licenses rather than threats. I think Wikiversity now has a good start on pages with information about licensing and we should try to direct everyone who uploads files towards those pages. --[[User:JWS|JWS]] 15:33, 8 October 2007 (UTC) == So, is this criteria for SPEEDY deletion then? == It kinda seems weird to call this a deletion policy, when it seems more like a speedy deletion policy.

I don't feel that such an emphasis is appropriate for deletion discussions, though it may be appropriate for speedy deletion. I think that, for non-speedy pages, a list format emphasizing keep/delete should be avoided, and we should instead perhaps provide something along the lines of "Potential reasons to keep a page" and "potential reasons to delete a page".

You may also begin discussion at Requests for Deletion if you disagree with a deletion, or a deletion is not obvious or not self-evident to you.}} I note the recent changes by Darklama including the addition of the above. I think the idea that custodians should feel free to immediately undelete anything which they don't understand why has been deleted needs discussing. I don't think this is a good idea. If a custodian has deleted something, they have reached the conclusion that it doesn't benefit the project or is actually detrimental to it. I don't think not understanding why something has been deleted should mean it should be immediately undeleted. We should respect that the deleting custodian wouldn't have taken that action if they didn't feel it appropriate and in the interests of Wikiversity. That should mean that if we can't understand the reason why a page has been deleted, we assume the deleting custodian had a good reason and ask them to help us understand it. These changes do seem to remind me of a recent situation where this action was taken and I think the outcome was worse than what it would have been had some discussion between those concerned and the user involved in deleting the page. I won't beat about the bush, the situation I'm thinking of, and what I suspect has inspired these changes is that involving Jimbo and SB Johnny. That, I feel, is a good demonstration of why custodians ''should'' discuss any concerns about deletion with the custodian involved. Jimbo in that situation specifically asked that the page wasn't deleted without consulting him. Had that taken place we might have been able to more quickly appreciate that undeletion wouldn't be a wise move. As it was, more drama resulted from as the page was deleted again, SB Johnny's rights were removed, then reinstated, then removed again at SB Johnny's request. It was possible that if SB Johnny had waited for some feedback from Jimbo to his concerns, Jimbo might have made it clear that undeletion wasn't an option for the community at that point and so some of that drama could have been avoided. So, to conclude, I don't believe that undeletion without attempting to discuss the issue with the custodian involved is a good idea. I don't think we should encourage an environment where custodians reverse the actions of other custodians without trying to discuss any of their concerns. That a deletion seems to be a bad idea, doesn't necessarily make it a good idea to instantly reverse it. [[User:Adambro|Adambro]] 08:00, 1 April 2010 (UTC) : Yes the change was partially a reflection of the situation with Jimbo. He should of discussed it from the start because he could already see a need for a further explanation since he asked that his use of the tools not be undone. That is what "cases that may require further explanation" is about. I believe SB_Johnny undeleted for two reasons 1) to allow a transparent discussion of the pages to be discussed at requests for deletion, and 2) the reason for deletion was not obvious and not self-exploratory to him. The change you quote is a reflection on the need to discuss such deletions further in a transparent way when there is any doubt about the obviousness of a deletion. In the same edit I also added "Custodians should assume good faith, if another custodian has undeleted a page, abstain from any further action with custodian tools — let the Wikiversity community decide what to do." I believe cases where a page is speedy deleted for obvious reasons, and another person or custodian thinks the reason is not obvious that the deletion can no longer be justified as being obvious, and so must favor undeletion and discussion by the Wikiversity community. That part is to ensure that people do not continuously delete and undelete pages and instead let the Wikiversity community decide. : We could argue about what should of been done to prevent things from going as far as they did, but I think there are many ways to reflect on that. I think building consensus is the best way to reduce drama and decide what to do when there is disagreement about the right thing to do. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 12:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC) :Oh also forgot to say, even though this is partially a reflection of the situation with Jimbo, it is more about reflecting on what can be done differently in the future when there is disagreement between two or more custodians on what to do. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 12:38, 1 April 2010 (UTC) ::Would you not agree that a discussion with the relevent custodian would be most appropriate in the first instance? As you've said, "custodians should assume good faith". Shouldn't that extend to custodians who for whatever reason don't understand the reasons for a deletion? Surely custodians should work on the assumption that the deletion was appropriate even if they don't understand it and first ask the relevant custodian for clarification. What is obvious to some people might not be obvious to others. There can sometimes be complicated reasons why a page should be speedily deleted but those reasons might not be apparent from looking at the page and the deletion summary. If custodians aren't able to understand the reason something has been deleted they should first ask the custodian involved. That custodian may be in a position to assess whether it is appropriate to discuss it on Wiki or if discussions need to be conducted privately for example.

In that vacuum, there has been regular reversion of closes contrary to what this guideline suggests, as if there were some other policy, and, as a result, the RfD page has filled with very old discussions. TCNSV wrote, ''(rv significant change to deletion policy ideas; this may be supported in theory but not in practice)''. First of all, if it is supported in theory, it not a "significant change," it would be an explanation of what already might be expected. I've done many "involved closes," because I've been active in trying both to clean up Wikiversity and in preserving Wikiversity's remarkable academic freedom. TCNSV has reverted many of these, to no effect. In no case so far has a discussion result changed as a result of his reverts. With many of these, he was the nominator, specially involved himself. Requiring that the nominator abstain from re-opening a closed discussion is a simple device to ensure that there is community support for continuing a discussion. Keeping discussions open for a long time represses community participation; late-comers see a lengthy or old discussion and just skip it. So should it be true that a deletion should be discussed further, it should be done through a new nomination that considers all the old arguments (and refers to the old discussion, which a future closer may consider). TCNSV has claimed that my closes are disruptive, see [[Wikiversity talk:Requests for Deletion#The actual closes]], and the associated discussion, but I haven't missed it once yet, whereas TCNSV has nominated many pages that have not been deleted, and has reopened many discussions without any positive result or benefit to the community, simply wasting time and space on the RfD page. Clarifying the policy is the first step in cleaning this up. I ask TCNSV to consider what could be included from the reverted section, or write something appropriate to cover this territory, and we can then discuss what remains controversial. The ordinary principle that a closer should not be "involved," i.e., have expressed an opinion, is great when there are hundreds of active editors reviewing discussions. When there are very few, it creates what we have had: a long RfD page, with contentious discussions that just sit there for a long time, nobody wants to touch them because simply reading what already exists takes too much time. I attempt to maximize consensus when closing, as should any closer; and where consensus or some approach to it is not clear, I close as No Consensus, which does allow anyone who still wants the page deleted to renominate with new evidence and arguments. We do not discuss for the sake of discussion, but to discover and maximize consensus. It seems that at the end of these discussions, sometimes recently, there is just TCNSV and me, I'm closing as keep or No Consensus -- I can't do Delete closes -- and he's reverting the close, even if it has been many months, and if we disagree, that's No Consensus in itself, and neither of us should take an action that prejudices the future of the community. No Consensus defaults to Keep For Now, in effect. I have not closed any discussions as Keep or No Consensus where there seemed to be any chance that the tide would reverse in any reasonable time. That should be enough. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 19:12, 18 April 2011 (UTC) *Darklama [http://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity%3ADeletion_policy&action=historysubmit&diff=736853&oldid=736840 added different wording], with less detail than what I'd written, with shorter time periods, but substantially the same.

[[User:TeleComNasSprVen|TeleComNasSprVen]] 19:43, 18 April 2011 (UTC) == Page created with guideline for closers and clerks for RfD == I wrote [[Wikiversity:Requests for Deletion/Closing process and clerking]] as a page proposed to be linked from the RfD page under the section on procedure, to cover the other end of Deletion process, guidelines for closers. Most of this would be too much detail for this page, it's procedural, and detailed. It's intended as a guideline, not as a policy, as such, it should be flexible and easily revised, as actual experience reveals problems. Wikis were originally created for user-generated manuals, but for some reason, WMF wikis went radically against "instruction creep," which is really only a problem when "instructions" are considered rigid rules. Step-by-step, easily understandable guidelines, make for a much more open environment, where people feel freer to contribute. As written, it is both guideline and explanation of why parts of the guideline are suggested. The final guideline may be condensed, but, for now, I'd appreciate review of the ''sense'' of it. I've also set up an undefined position, "clerk." I'm not proposing any special qualifications for clerks, and what is described for clerks there could, mostly, be the work of a bot. Archiving under the proposed method could easily be done by a bot: look for an archived section that sticks for a week, and move the material to an archive page, with headers as described. Much archiving in the past has been done by someone cutting a pile of RfD sections, all at once, with some edit summary like "archive old" and then popping it down into an archive with a summary like "+6", all of which sometimes makes it harder to find where a discussion went, without reviewing a lot of diffs or looking through many TOCs. While there are ways around this, it is actually easy to do what I've proposed, and it creates one edit per discussion per page, it's trivial to review and see what has been done and by whom, which is important for transparency. Since I've been doing it this way, as well, I look at each RfD, which makes it easy to remember to check for leftover tasks. A number of RfD tags, I found, weren't ever removed from pages.... And checking all this led me to look at all RfD tags and clean up a number that had never resulted in filed RfDs. In one case, I think, I replaced the RfD tag with a speedy deletion tag.... Others, where I didn't think deletion was so obvious, I simply removed the incorrect RfD tag. Anyone can look over my contributions and disagree with me, simple to add a deletion tag if deletion is obvious, or to actually nominate for deletion if it isn't. I've had an amazing sense of appreciation for the Wikiversity community, doing this work for the past few weeks. I agree with practically every decision that's been made, I can't think of any exceptions, recently, -- there might be one soon!, but hey, one exception, that's fantastic! -- and that is a radical reversal from my Wikipedia experience, where watching AfD was practically constant aggravation. (I agreed with many decisions there, but also found many to be, essentially abusive, dominated by users who clearly watched AfD process with an axe to grind, piling in within minutes of a nomination with "Delete per nom," practically no effort at all, and obviously no time spent investigating possible sources, etc., but confusing some closers.) --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 02:12, 24 April 2011 (UTC) :Instruction creep has come to mean creep, which means that even the most friendly suggestion will eventually be used by someone (fascist) to hurt someone else.

The tragedy is that Wikipedia did not develop efficient and reliable methods for estimating community consensus, relying on ad-hoc appearance of whoever, which is then easily warped by selective participation and awareness. Wiki theory would have disputes escalating in attention as needed, but effective large-scale attention requires careful deliberative process, because the knee-jerk reactions of a large audience are little better than those from a small audience. Attempts to improve the process have been resisted as "creating bureaucracy" and, yes, "instruction creep." The lack of "instructions" -- guidelines -- means that, then extra power is held by the users who have developed skill in crowd influence, and those users, by the conditions of the problem, have the ability to resist change. ::Wikiversity is running close to the edge, though, in terms of volunteer attention to core processes. Individuals can have substantial influence here, but it takes patience, in any case. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] 16:40, 17 May 2011 (UTC) :::No objection appeared to the procedure page, so I've linked it from the deletion page. The procedure was intended to document actual practice. Some of it has been controversial, but the controversy was not sustained. At this point, if someone objects to the stated procedure, I'd suggest it should be changed if it is clearly wrong, improved if it can be clearly improved, or discussed if controversy remains. The procedures page establishes a baseline that allows the RfD page to be cleaned up and for Wikiversity to move on without prejudice. The page refers to "clerks," and suggests clerking procedure. Clerks are a device for extending custodial tasks beyond those who hold the tools, and we may eventually want to formally name clerks. But, by following a guideline like that, anyone may actually clerk, and anyone else may check their work. (Clerks should rigorously avoid, in the clerking, not only any bias but also any appearance of bias.

There is no indication of the completion status, development status, if any, educational level, resource type, or subject. But, the sole contributor has placed the resource in the economics category. The current, proposed [[Wikiversity:Deletion policy]] criteria of speedy deletion can be used to comment on this resource: # [[Wikiversity:What is Wikiversity|No educational]] objectives or discussion in history. - met. # not met. # many sentences appear to be paraphrases of Wikipedia articles on the subject, without citation.

Unfortunately this may amount to vandalism of resources here. # not met. # not met. # not met. # '''Archaic redirects''' - unknown but probably unlikely. # not met. # not met. # not met. So resource meets possibly two to three criteria for speedy deletion. '''Proposed''' deletion: "Resources may be eligible for proposed deletion when activity ceases for 90 days or more, further development may be difficult, education objectives and learning outcomes are scarce, and objections to deletion are unlikely." : 90 days or more - last update was August 25, 2011, : further development may be difficult - probably, : education objectives and learning outcomes are scarce - none stated, : objections to deletion are unlikely - questionable. From [[Overview of economic schools of thought]]: "It is arguably now the dominant school of economics, being taught in most major universities." When the context use of "school" is meant as an assemblage or association, the two-word phrase "dominant school" is a relative synonym for the [[Dominant group/Proof of concept|technical term]] "dominant group". The use of the apparent technical or theoretical term "dominant school" suggests either research or original research. On the same colloquium page is "The resource should be structured into lessons, which exist as subpages linked to on the main resource page." under '''Suggested minimum requirements for stand-alone resources'''. Such a prerequisite is a well-known foil against research or original research, for which Wikiversity is the only significant wikimedia home. * {{Oppose}} - nearly all of your efforts here have been positive and beneficial to forming an alternative deletion policy statement. I have compared your hard work and sincere effort with the earlier version before this discussion began and found little actual change with one important exception, "Deletion can harm Wikiversity when participants are lost and works that could have become useful with enough time are removed." This point in quotes from the older policy is very important at least to me. [[User:Marshallsumter|Marshallsumter]] 00:57, 31 January 2012 (UTC) *:Is there an alternative formulation of this quote you could support? Or perhaps it is sufficient for your support that the essence of this quote be elevated to policy in some form? --[[User:HappyCamper|HappyCamper]] 15:45, 6 February 2012 (UTC) *:: I think an alternative formulation of the quoted text is already present in the proposal in several forms with stronger and clearer reasoning, "resources can often blossom when you teach participants good practices and they learn how to implement concrete improvements", "participants may be able to learn how to implement concrete improvements when taught appropriate practices", and "the preferred outcome is one participants can learn from to implement concrete improvements". I think the language in the newer proposal is also stronger and clearer about prohibiting speedy and proposed deletions when objections are made or are likely. I think overall the tone leans towards how keeping helps Wikiversity, participants, and resources, and addresses ways to make the process benefit Wikiversity, participants, and resources. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 18:26, 6 February 2012 (UTC) :: The latter is good as are the points made by [[User:Darklama|Darklama]]. My concern is that 'deletion' per se not be elevated to 'contribution' such as a resource or to a resource. Clearly there are things that need to be deleted, but I believe it's important for any custodian or nominator, especially, to think about it rather than delete to contribute. Deletion is a loss, sometimes an important loss such as vandalism or requests for one's own mistakes or no longer needed files to be deleted. Other instances are not good. Consider [[Gift economy]]. I contributed to it because the concept of the resource is important. I did not remove the deletion tag because that could promote a 'deletion' war. Perhaps, with the sentence in quotes aboard the deletion policy a user such as [[User:Rf|Rf]] would not be so hasty to slap a deletion tag on what the user perceives as 'cruft' yet is economically important. Each un- or underdeveloped economics resource the user has so tagged is such. None should be deleted. The irritating part if I may add is that the resource creators opened the resource, did next to nothing, then, vanished. As an author I enjoy creating a resource first, adding to a resource someone else created second, responding to a deletion discussion last. Deletion tags do not promote discussion. Instead, it's like a terrorist holding a loaded weapon to a creative person's head. Save it or they'll destroy it. No! Delete them all if that's the mentality we wish to promote. I hope this makes some sense! [[User:Marshallsumter|Marshallsumter]] 19:02, 6 February 2012 (UTC) ::: I think the consider contributing rather than deletion point is covered by the alternatives to deletion section. People make hasty decisions for a number of reasons. I think haste is something best addressed by educating people who are hasty, and not something that can be adequately addressed through policy. I think to better promote discussion, a possibly drastic change in approach might be required, such as having a quality review process instead of a deletion process, where people discuss resources for many possibly reasons besides deletion, like to nominate a resource as a featured resource, to get community feedback for ways to improve a resource, etc. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 20:33, 6 February 2012 (UTC) ::: While again I agree with what [[User:Darklama|Darklama]] is writing, I believe the problem is more significant. To me no editor, contributor, resource creator should have the power to put other resources up for deletion. This perhaps should be a custodian's privilege. Even then a discussion may be requested before a deletion tag is placed. A large consensus to delete or not isn't needed, but 3-5 opinions pro & con written before the custodian proceeds even if against the deletion tag would be good. But, this has probably been tried before and custodial time is probably maxed as is. A second suggestion which may not be possible computer-wise is a rigorous lower limit of say 2000 bytes before even a genuine contribution is saved into resource space. This would put all such that are smaller back on user pages, a list could be available for content ideas, and resource creators who desire to do so can have the credit rather than having resource creator credit going to anyone who puts 500 bytes into resource space. I hope this helps. [[User:Marshallsumter|Marshallsumter]] 22:20, 6 February 2012 (UTC) :::: I think many people would simply ignore a restriction to where they can create resources or who can tag resources for deletion. Policy is expected to reflect actual practice as much as possible, and not attempt to change current practices. I think even my own comment about using a quality review process instead of a deletion process would be ignored because that isn't what people do or expect. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 13:56, 8 February 2012 (UTC) : Thank you for your comment! While I personally prefer discussion before a deletion tag is applied, and we have such opportunities, there is much to be said about deleting un- or underdeveloped resources and starting over. I guess I see conforming to what people do or expect such as on Wikipedia as a loss of the very individual freedom that makes Wikiversity better. My gut response, probably inappropriate, is to let them remain ignorant. If my reverting to support will allow the policy to be tested for its positive benefits, then consider this as such. But its abuse will be much harder to correct. Good luck!

The implicitly stated educational outcome is that students understand some of the major methodological differences between these rather broad schools of thought. The purpose of creating the resource was to gather the scatterred information on this topic into a small overview - hence the title - which I think it accomplishes. : 3) I agree that lack of citations is an issue. I didn't go by any particular source while writing, just accumulated knowledge from reading various sources. Some of the names are paraphrased from Wikipedia, yes, but I don't see how this would be a deletion-worthy issue. I'll try to add some references later this week. Perhaps the policy should clarify that speedy delete is meant for major copyvios? : 6) The page is not vandalism. I am not a vandal. : I disagree that further development may be difficult. There are several schools of thought that aren't mentioned (such as Marxist economics) and the differences can be extended and elaborated.

In the film, Katie is the supporting deuteragonist to the main character (Maureen Epps) and stands in stark contrast to the completely evil and demonic antagonist (Jack Ferriman). In many regards, Katie could be considered just as much of a heroine as Maureen Epps for enduring unfathomable suffering and risking the wrath of Jack Ferriman through her unyielding efforts to save the souls and lives of others on the ship.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Katie is portrayed by a young [[w:Emily Browning|Emily Jane Browning]]. == Significance == Katie can be viewed as an iconic representation of childhood from an earlier era, at a time when life was simpler, and childhood more innocent.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> <ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> She stands out in a coarse mixed reviewed horror film as a compelling, distinctive and enduring character who subverts common horror child tropes.<ref>https://michellepatterson.net/2018/03/23/ghostship-film-review/Michelle Patterson Publications</ref><ref>https://moviefilmreview.com/186187/movie-review-of-ghost-ship-2002?utm_source=chatgpt.com/ Cal Knox Movie Review</ref><ref>https://lmariewood.com/2025/05/23/horror-tropes-when-to-use-them-and-when-to-subvert-them/ L.

Factory 20-year anniversary Blue-ray rerelease of ''Ghost Ship,'' Katie is made the new face of the film in the promotional artwork, elevating a morally intact child to iconic status; something very few horror children achieve, and even more so as a tragic and sympathetic figure without villainy.<ref>https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=27285/ Shout! Factory Ghost Ship 20-year anniversary collector’s edition Blu-ray disc</ref> == Synopsis == In May of 1962, an endearing Katie waves goodbye to her grandparents in [[Europe]] and journeys solo aboard the exquisite ''Antonia Graza'' on an exclusive cruise to rejoin her family in New York City. Since Katie is the only child onboard, she receives special care and attention. In describing her voyage Katie states, ”The whole ship was my playground, also beautiful. I was the only child onboard, so the ship’s purser and captain took special care of me. I felt so safe and happy with them.”<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> However, after the Antonia Graza rescues a lone survivor and cargo from a sinking ship, Katie’s exciting journey suddenly takes a horrendous turn for the worse. Unbeknownst to Katie and her shipmates, the single survivor (Jack Ferriman) is literally a demonic henchman for Satan set on destroying lives and collecting souls. Ferriman informs select members of the crew about the millions in gold recovered from his sinking ship, and influences them to launch an elaborate plot to seize control of the Graza and the gold, by killing everyone onboard. Remarkably, Katie survives the opening massacre scene on the foredeck, nevertheless, as the lone survivor and witness this also makes her a liability for the conspirators.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Although several crewmembers and passengers try to save her life from the homicidal conspirators, Katie is eventually caught and tragically hanged to death, with her murder concealed behind the partitioning door of her cabin.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Instead of ascending to her rightful place in heaven, Katie’s spirit is trapped on the ship by demonic forces along with the entire compliment of murdered passengers and crew. However, since Katie is still a young child, her soul is completely innocent and therefore beyond the influence and control of the demonic Ferriman. Over the next 40 years, the evil Ferriman along with the help of the wicked “marked” souls, try to use the ship as a trap to destroy unsuspecting lives, and collect a quota of souls for hell. Despite being the only flicker of good on the ship, Katie bravely opposes Ferriman and the evil spirits, and attempts to warn and save the lives of anyone who has the misfortune of being lured aboard the condemned vessel. Concerning these things, Katie says, “Without the mark, Jack can’t control me and because of this, he hates me most of all; scaring me at every turn and chasing me away when I try to warn those who come here.”<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> When Maureen Epps and her ship salving crew are lured aboard the Graza by Ferriman, Katie attempts to warn them about the dangerous ship. Katie has very perceptive eyes, and finds Epps to be more open to the truth than her cohorts. Katie tries to leave Epps messages and clues, and even appears to her on several occasions. When Katie senses that Ferriman has sabotaged the salvage crew’s tugboat, she boldly tries to warn the crew, but is forcibly carried away by Ferriman. Epps witnesses Katie’s warning and sets off in search for the mysterious little girl. Epps locates Katie’s cabin and comes face to face with her remains and her spirit. Katie allows Epps to have her cherished heart-shaped locket, and then proceeds to speak directly about the ship being a demonic trap. However, before Katie can finish explaining, she is overheard by an invisible Ferriman and lets out a frightened scream as he removes her from the cabin. Undeterred, Katie returns and tries to help Epps and her remaining crewmembers escape. Endowed with supernatural power from above, Katie transports Epps back to May 21, 1962 through her memories and reveals to her the horrifying events that led to everyone’s death, including her own. Furthermore, Katie reveals the true identity of Jack Ferriman and his goal to use the ship as a conduit to collect souls for Satan.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> After experiencing Katie’s heartbreaking vision, Epps decides to risk almost certain death by destroying the cursed ship with explosives. However, Katie helps Epps escape the rapidly sinking vessel, while emancipated souls rise from the ship. Katie stays faithfully by Epps and gives her a grateful smile as her spirit ascends toward heaven.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> == Religious & Symbolic Implications == At its core, the story is deeply religious and the plot hinges on the concept of a young girl trying to save the lives (and ultimately souls) of others from demonic forces.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Metaphorical Murals===== The religious implications and [[Christian symbolism]] surrounding Katie’s story are rich. <ref>http://www.worsleyschool.net/socialarts/symbolism/page.html</ref> Although only lightly touched on in the final version of the film, the most obvious religious connections come through the [[Gustave Dore]] inspired murals displayed throughout the ship. The murals are depictions based on Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy and The Inferno. The metaphorical murals hint at the struggle between Katie and Ferriman over the lives and souls on the ship.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Lead actress Julianna Margulies says, “Katie is like Virgil in Dante’s Inferno. Margulies explains that Katie is like a “little guide” trying to lead others through hell and then safely onto the other side.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> As in the mural of Charon, Ferriman is literally a “ferry man” using a boat in the attempt to ferry souls to hell and eternal damnation. Conversely, Katie opposes Ferriman by trying to protect and warn all unsuspecting visitors and sharing the truth about the demonic ship. =====Marked Souls===== An additional concept presented in the plot are the “marked” souls. Like the murals in the story, the souls of the sinful and the “lost”<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN |page=563 | year=1983}}</ref> are marked with a hooked-shaped indention on their hand. Katie says the mark is “a sign of their sins” and that they are bound to the will of Satan and his demons, in addition to eventually sharing in their same flaming judgment.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> However, not all the murals are somber. The depiction of angels defeating the demons and casting them down foreshadows the eventual defeat of Ferriman and ultimately all evil.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====The Dove and Locket===== Another subtle, but implicit [[Christian symbolism]] is Katie’s heart-shaped locket with the image of a raised dove in flight.<ref>{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | year=2001 |page=383}}</ref> In Christian tradition, this type of dove can symbolize innocence, purity, faith, hope, God’s peace, God’s presence through the [[Holy Spirit (Christianity)|Holy Spirit]] and God’s guidance and deliverance.<ref>http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05144b.htm</ref> The dove also indicated God’s bestowal of fortitude necessary to bear suffering and death<ref>{{cite book| last=Gauding |first=Madonna | title=The Signs and Symbols Bible |publisher=Sterling Publishing Co |location=New York, NY | year=2009 |page=82}}</ref>. In this sense, the remains of the dead dove on the bridge of the ship, foreshadows Katie’s death, but at the same time indicates that there could still be hope. When Epps puts on Katie’s locket, it implies that Epps now has a renewed heart, or possibly even salvation as stated in Bible scripture. In this manner, the locket could also represent that Epps’ soul is not "marked".<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Parallel of an Innocent and Sacrificial Life===== A striking parallel could also be drawn between Katie and Jesus Christ. In the bible, Christ lives a completely innocent life, but is hung on a cross to sacrificially die for the sins of all humanity.<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |pages=2228-2229}}</ref> Christ tastes the sting of death and hell in order to offer salvation to all who will put their faith in Him.<ref>{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | year=2001 |page=966}}</ref> Similarly, innocent Katie is hung by a rope behind a dividing door, but through her death she is able to lead others to "salvation" and safety. Because of her young age and innocent death, Katie is the only voice of hope for all the suppressed souls held captive on the demonic ship. Katie also endures small tastes of hell from Ferriman in her efforts to save others. However, Katie’s love and compassion for the lives of others is greater than her fear and pain, and in similarity to Christ, Katie rises victoriously to heaven in the end.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Forty Years and the Promised Land===== 40 years is a significant reoccurring number in the Christian faith.<ref>Collins English Dictonary http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/promised land</ref> The [[Israelites]] endured 40 years of great trial and testing in the wilderness before they were able to enter their promised land of rest. In Christian tradition, the earthly life is often compared to a time of trial in the wilderness and the Promised Land a metaphor for heaven.<ref>Collins English Dictonary http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/promised land</ref> Correspondingly, Katie has endured the “wilderness” and trials of the ship for 40 years, but as the result of Epps’ help she is inevitably freed to enter the “promised land” of heaven. =====Concept of Free Will===== Free will is both discussed and demonstrated in the story.<ref>{{cite book| last=Keck |first=Leander | title=The New Interpreter's Bible vol. 9 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN | year=2002 |pages=61-62}}</ref> Ultimately, the crew members who die are led to destruction by their own sins and their selfish desire for greed, lust and power. Epps is spared the fate of her shipmates through listening to Katie’s warnings and humbly responding to the truth.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Elevated Status of Children===== In the Christian bible God often uses the most humble and unlikely people to work through <ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |page=2283}}</ref> – Out of hundreds on the ship, Katie is the meekest, humblest and most unlikely to do anything significant, yet every soul on the ship ends up depending on her.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page production notes]</ref> Katie is also reminiscent of Christ elevating the status of children when he gave them special attention and profoundly declared that unless one humbles them self and has the faith of a little child, they will not enter the kingdom of heaven. This is further illustrated when Christ took a lowly child and placed him in the midst of his followers and stated that only those with childlike faith will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.<ref>{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | year=2001 |page=963}}</ref> This concept is demonstrated by Epps' willingness to humble herself to Katie's level.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> The role of children in Christian scripture – Comparisons could be made between Katie and several unpretentious bible characters such as the lowly shepherd boy David who defeated the warrior Goliath and became king. Outwardly both young Katie and David appear to be nothing more that mere children, however, inwardly they possess vast unforeseen potential and a tremendous strength of character.<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |page=563}}</ref> <ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Eternal Destinations===== In the film, as with [[Christian soteriology]] there are two clear eternal destinations which souls go to after death; ether heaven or hell. A heart of child-like faith will put one on the path to heaven, but a sinful life eventually leads to destruction.<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |page=1902}}</ref> =====The Destructiveness of Sinful Choices===== One of the morals of the story is the corrupting dangers of pursuing riches. This theme also fits aptly within the religious concepts of the film.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> Sinful greed, lust, debauchery and selfish desire can influence ordinarily good people to do horribly evil things (1Timothy 6:9-10).<ref>{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | page=2195 | year=1991}}</ref> The choices made by the characters in the story illustrate this principle. “Be sure your sins will find you out” – As the story goes, sinful activities have consequences and will eventually have to be accounted for, and the ultimate payment for sin in the end is both physical and spiritual death (Romans 6:20-23). <ref>{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | page=2039 | year=1991}}</ref> <ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Loving Others before Ourselves===== “Greater love has no one than this – To lay one’s life down for their friends.” Katie and Epps are both willing put themselves at risk to save lives. Through the process of trying to help others both Epps and Katie experience help for themselves.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> “Those who seek to save their life will lose it, but those who are willing to lose their life will save it.”<ref>{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | page=1842 | year=1991}}</ref> In this sense Epps' life is saved, because she places the needs of others first. Katie also inherits eternal life in heaven by risking herself to help others. =====Purgatory===== The concept of purgatory (Whalen p. 1034-1039)<ref>{{cite book| last=Whalen |first=John | title=New Catholic Encyclopedia Vol. 11|publisher=Catholic University of America |location=Washington, D.C. | year=1983}}</ref> is also mentioned when Katie states that the ship had become like a “prison” where souls are trapped among the living between heaven and hell.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> ====Additional Symbolism==== =====Life as a Voyage on a Ship===== Life itself is comparable to a voyage on ship...illustrating that our lives are like a ship that is bound for one of two possible destinations.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> In the context of Ghost Ship, the voyage ends in destruction (death and hell) unless we get off. In this sense, Katie pleads with us to get off, but that involves humbly changing our ways and giving up the allure and pursuit of vain things such as wealth and power.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Symbols of Changing Times===== The once elegant and decaying ship is a symbol of changing times.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> In a similar manner, Katie can be viewed as a symbolic representation of childhood from a more innocent era. Just as the ship decays to ruin from its glorious 1950’s splendor, Katie’s deteriorating childhood possessions and even Katie herself, are evocative symbols of changing times and eroding childhood innocence.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> == Dichotomy and Contrasts == Katie is in some ways a complicated paradox: She has been deeply hurt and traumatized by all she has experienced, but by the same token, she is still very much an innocent child – Even after 40 years of resilient growth as a character. Katie exhibits a wide array of emotions from timid youthful innocence and joy, to extreme terror, sadness, loneliness, and solemn distress.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> ====Characters==== Even under tremendously trying circumstances Katie demonstrates an incredible inner strength of character without compromising the sweet kind-hearted "girly" girl she really is. The fact that Katie remains true to herself in spite of all the evil and suffering she experienced transcends their eroding influence and distinguishes her from the other characters.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Ferriman===== Ferriman is representative of Satan and the crafty deceptiveness of evil in destroying people’s lives. Katie and Ferriman are at completely opposite ends of the Christian spectrum – The demonic Ferriman is totally depraved and evil while Katie is sweet and innocent. Katie is motivated by love and compassion, Ferriman is motivated by hate and rage.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> <ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Epps===== Although Katie and Epps are two completely dissimilar characters from different eras, they still grow quite close. Epps is "a woman working in a man's world"<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> and appears somewhat tough and masculine on the exterior like a tomboy. Although not specifically stated, the story indicates that Epps is likely from a broken home. On the other hand, Katie comes from a close, traditional nuclear family. In contrast to Epps, Katie is more of a typical "girly" girl and is slightly timid, but possess a stout inner fortitude despite her diminutive and delicate appearance.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Francesca===== The sultry Francesca lives the more representative life of a performing artist. Unlike Epps who feels the need to downplay her femininity, Francesca leans toward the other extreme and attempts to flaunt her femininity to her own advantage, even to the point of her own exploitation. Conversely, Katie is still a virtuous and modest little girl, who has yet to be tainted by any corrupting influences of the world.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Captain Murphy===== Captain Murphy appears to be a strong imposing ship captain on the outside, however, when confronted with trials and tribulations, his perceived strength is shown to be superficial. This is evident by his emotional breakdown where he shuts off emotionally and withdraws to himself while attempting to drown his problems in alcohol. In contrast, Katie appears to be very delicate in both physical appearance and personality. However, despite her dainty appearance, Katie proves her true strength and fortitude from within through dealing with her pain and problems directly, instead of allow it to define her<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> ====General Themes==== Light vs. darkness, good vs. evil, childhood innocence vs. wickedness, tragedy vs. triumph, simpler more wholesome times, vs. the complexity and loss of innocence of today.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> == Conclusion == On the surface, Katie’s story is an emotional tale of heartache and tragedy – Something that no young person should ever have to endure. However, Katie’s story is also essential to the plot. <ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> Through helping each other and being willing to put themselves at risk, Katie and Epps together achieve a triumph out of the tragedy and deliver a major blow to Ferriman and the forces of evil. Although the struggle over the souls of people will continue, this victory of the human spirit gives hope even in the face of terrible suffering, evil and even death.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> “Katie is really a very sweet girl. She's completely innocent…“ says Emily Jane Browning, who obviously became completely immersed in her character. “…She's been hoping someone would come onto the ship to be her friend, so when Epps arrives she's very excited – they develop a real friendship."<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> ”Emily did an amazing job,” Director Steve Beck enthuses. “She gave Katie a real complexity…she's not just a little girl caught up in a ghost story…” Both Browning and Beck also added that underneath all her heartfelt emotions, Katie longs for vindication and justice.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> The deeply symbolic and metaphorical aspects surrounding Katie’s story along with the close relationships she develops with others lends support to the notion that the film was originally intended to be more than just another Hollywood “slasher” horror. This is further substantiated by Katie’s tearful and heartfelt story – Emotionally poignant and touching drama not usually associated with a horror picture.<ref>http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/ghost_ship_info.txt</ref> == References == ===Footnotes=== {{Reflist|colwidth=30em}} ===Cited Texts=== {{refbegin}} *{{cite book| last=Barclay | first=William | title=The Gospel of Mark |publisher=Westminster Press | location=Philadelphia, PA | isbn=0664213022 | year=1975}} *{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | isbn=0-19-875500-7 | year=2001}} *{{cite book| last=Boettner |first=Loraine | title=Roman Catholicism |publisher=Presbyterian & Reformed Publishing Co. |location=Phillipsburg, NJ |isbn=0875521304 | year=1985}} *{{cite book| last=Buttrick |first=George | title=The Interpreter's Bible vol. 12 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN |asin=B000HTP248 | year=1957}} *{{cite book |title=Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition |date=2009 | publisher=Harper Collins |location=New York, NY}} *{{cite book| last=Dummelow |first=J.R. | title=Commentary on the Whole Bible |publisher=Macmillian Publishing Co. |location=New York, NY | year=1936}} *{{cite book| last=Gaebelein |first=Frank | title=The Expositors Bible Commentary vol. 1 |publisher=Zondervan |location=Grand Rapids, MI |isbn=0310364302 | year=1979}} *{{cite book| last=Gauding |first=Madonna | title=The Signs and Symbols Bible |publisher=Sterling Publishing Co. |location=New York, NY |isbn=1402770049| year=2009}} *{{cite book| last=Jamieson |first=Fausset | title=Commentary on the Whole Bible |publisher=Zondervan |location=Grand Rapids, MI| asin=B004BCQP8O | year=1971}} *{{cite book| last=Keck |first=Leander | title=New Interpreter's Bible vol. 9 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN |isbn=0687278228 | year=2002}} *{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | lccn=90-71553| year=1991}} *{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN |isbn=0840752954 | year=1983}} *{{cite book| last=Wall |first=Robert | title=The New Interpreter's Bible vol. 10 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN |isbn=0687278236 | year=2002}} *{{cite book| last=Whalen |first=John | title=New Catholic Encyclopedia Vol. 11 |publisher=Catholic University of America |location=Washington D.C. | lccn=66-22292 | year=1967}} {{refend}} == External links == * [http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/ghost_ship_info.txt/ Daily Script_Ghost Ship] * [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0288477/ Internet Movie Database_Ghost Ship 2002] * [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes] * [http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ghost_ship/ Rotten Tomatoes movie review_Ghost Ship] [[Category:Analysis]] [[Category:Film]] tfu7lczpe1em0lfo6v60y6atwphuv2b 2810036 2810034 2026-05-18T02:56:46Z Tola73 3020076 /* Synopsis */ Updated wording and did some minor rewriting for clarity without changing the meaning. 2810036 wikitext text/x-wiki '''Katherine "Katie" Harwood''' is a fictional character in the 2002 film ''Ghost Ship'' where an innocent young girl goes on a sea voyage of a lifetime, only to be caught up in a living nightmare aboard the ill-fated ocean liner. In the film, Katie is the supporting deuteragonist to the main character (Maureen Epps) and stands in stark contrast to the completely evil and demonic antagonist (Jack Ferriman). In many regards, Katie could be considered just as much of a heroine as Maureen Epps for enduring unfathomable suffering and risking the wrath of Jack Ferriman through her unyielding efforts to save the souls and lives of others on the ship.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Katie is portrayed by a young [[w:Emily Browning|Emily Jane Browning]]. == Significance == Katie can be viewed as an iconic representation of childhood from an earlier era, at a time when life was simpler, and childhood more innocent.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> <ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> She stands out in a coarse mixed reviewed horror film as a compelling, distinctive and enduring character who subverts common horror child tropes.<ref>https://michellepatterson.net/2018/03/23/ghostship-film-review/Michelle Patterson Publications</ref><ref>https://moviefilmreview.com/186187/movie-review-of-ghost-ship-2002?utm_source=chatgpt.com/ Cal Knox Movie Review</ref><ref>https://lmariewood.com/2025/05/23/horror-tropes-when-to-use-them-and-when-to-subvert-them/ L. Marie Wood; Horror Tropes: When to Use Them and When to Subvert Them</ref> With the Shout! Factory 20-year anniversary Blue-ray rerelease of ''Ghost Ship,'' Katie is made the new face of the film in the promotional artwork, elevating a morally intact child to iconic status; something very few horror children achieve, and even more so as a tragic and sympathetic figure without villainy.<ref>https://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=27285/ Shout! Factory Ghost Ship 20-year anniversary collector’s edition Blu-ray disc</ref> == Synopsis == In May of 1962, an endearing Katie waves goodbye to her grandparents in [[Europe]] and journeys solo aboard the exquisite ''Antonia Graza'' on an exclusive cruise to rejoin her family in New York City. Since Katie is the only child onboard, she receives special care and attention. In describing her voyage Katie states, ”The whole ship was my playground, also beautiful. I was the only child onboard, so the ship’s purser and captain took special care of me. I felt so safe and happy with them.”<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> However, after the Antonia Graza rescues a lone survivor and cargo from a sinking ship, Katie’s exciting journey suddenly takes a horrendous turn for the worse. Unbeknownst to Katie and her shipmates, the single survivor (Jack Ferriman) is literally a demonic henchman for Satan set on destroying lives and collecting souls. Ferriman informs select members of the crew about the millions in gold recovered from his sinking ship, and influences them to launch an elaborate plot to seize control of the Graza and the gold, by killing everyone onboard. Remarkably, Katie survives the opening massacre scene on the foredeck, nevertheless, as the lone survivor and witness this also makes her a liability for the conspirators.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Although several crewmembers and passengers try to save her life from the homicidal conspirators, Katie is eventually caught and tragically hanged to death, with her murder concealed behind the partitioning door of her cabin.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Instead of ascending to her rightful place in heaven, Katie’s spirit is trapped on the ship by demonic forces along with the entire compliment of murdered passengers and crew. However, since Katie is still a young child, her soul is completely innocent and therefore beyond the influence and control of the demonic Ferriman. Over the next 40 years, the evil Ferriman along with the help of the wicked “marked” souls, try to use the ship as a trap to destroy unsuspecting lives, and collect a quota of souls for hell. Despite being the only flicker of good on the ship, Katie bravely opposes Ferriman and the evil spirits, and attempts to warn and save the lives of anyone who has the misfortune of being lured aboard the condemned vessel. Concerning these things, Katie says, “Without the mark, Jack can’t control me and because of this, he hates me most of all; scaring me at every turn and chasing me away when I try to warn those who come here.”<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> When Maureen Epps and her ship salving crew are lured aboard the Graza by Ferriman, Katie attempts to warn them about the dangerous ship. Katie has very perceptive eyes, and finds Epps to be more open to the truth than her cohorts. Katie tries to leave Epps messages and clues, and even appears to her on several occasions. When Katie learns Ferriman has sabotaged the salvage crew’s tugboat, she boldly tries to warn the crew, but is forcibly carried away by Ferriman. Epps witnesses Katie’s warning and sets off in search for the mysterious little girl. Epps locates Katie’s cabin and comes face to face with her remains and her spirit. Katie allows Epps to have her cherished heart-shaped locket, and then proceeds to speak directly about the ship being a demonic trap. However, before Katie can finish explaining, she is overheard by an invisible Ferriman and lets out a frightened scream as he removes her from the cabin. Undeterred, Katie returns and tries to help Epps and her remaining crewmembers escape. Endowed with supernatural power from above, Katie transports Epps back to May 21, 1962 through her memories and reveals to her the horrifying events that led to everyone’s death, including her own. Furthermore, Katie reveals the true identity of Jack Ferriman and his goal to use the ship as a conduit to collect souls for Satan.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> After experiencing Katie’s heartbreaking vision, Epps decides to risk almost certain death by destroying the cursed ship with explosives. However, Katie helps Epps escape the rapidly sinking vessel, while emancipated souls rise from the ship. Katie stays faithfully by Epps and gives her a grateful smile as her spirit ascends toward heaven.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> == Religious & Symbolic Implications == At its core, the story is deeply religious and the plot hinges on the concept of a young girl trying to save the lives (and ultimately souls) of others from demonic forces.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Metaphorical Murals===== The religious implications and [[Christian symbolism]] surrounding Katie’s story are rich. <ref>http://www.worsleyschool.net/socialarts/symbolism/page.html</ref> Although only lightly touched on in the final version of the film, the most obvious religious connections come through the [[Gustave Dore]] inspired murals displayed throughout the ship. The murals are depictions based on Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy and The Inferno. The metaphorical murals hint at the struggle between Katie and Ferriman over the lives and souls on the ship.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Lead actress Julianna Margulies says, “Katie is like Virgil in Dante’s Inferno." Margulies explains that Katie is like a “little guide” trying to lead others through the hell of the ship and then safely onto the other side.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> As in the mural of Charon, Ferriman is literally a “ferry man” using a boat in the attempt to ferry souls to hell and eternal damnation. Conversely, Katie opposes Ferriman by trying to protect and warn all unsuspecting visitors and sharing the truth about the demonic ship. =====Marked Souls===== An additional concept presented in the plot are the “marked” souls. Like the murals in the story, the souls of the sinful and the “lost”<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN |page=563 | year=1983}}</ref> are marked with a hooked-shaped indention on their hand. Katie says the mark is “a sign of their sins” and that they are bound (symbolically) to the will of Satan and his demons, in addition to eventually sharing in their same judgment.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> However, not all the murals are somber. The depiction of angels defeating the demons and casting them down foreshadows the eventual defeat of Ferriman and ultimately all evil.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> Although not an overt theological story, the murals act as visual theology embedded in the ship. =====The Dove and Locket===== Another subtle, but implicit [[Christian symbolism]] is Katie’s heart-shaped locket with the image of a raised dove in flight.<ref>{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | year=2001 |page=383}}</ref> In Christian tradition, this type of dove can symbolize innocence, purity, faith, hope, God’s peace, God’s presence through the [[Holy Spirit (Christianity)|Holy Spirit]] and God’s guidance and deliverance.<ref>http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05144b.htm</ref> Historically, the dove also indicated God’s bestowal of fortitude necessary to bear suffering and death<ref>{{cite book| last=Gauding |first=Madonna | title=The Signs and Symbols Bible |publisher=Sterling Publishing Co |location=New York, NY | year=2009 |page=82}}</ref>. In this sense, the remains of the dead dove on the bridge of the ship, foreshadows Katie’s death, but at the same time indicates that there could still be hope. When Epps puts on Katie’s locket, it implies that Epps now has a renewed heart, or possibly even salvation as stated in Bible scripture. In this manner, the locket could also represent that Epps’ soul is not "marked".<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Parallel of an Innocent and Sacrificial Life===== A striking parallel could also be drawn between Katie and Jesus Christ. In the scriptures, Christ lives a completely innocent life, but is hung on a cross to sacrificially die for the sins of all humanity.<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |pages=2228-2229}}</ref> Christ tastes the sting of death and hell in order to offer salvation to all who will put their faith in Him.<ref>{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | year=2001 |page=966}}</ref> Similarly, innocent Katie is hung by a rope behind a dividing door, but through her death she is able to lead others to "salvation" and safety. Because of her young age and innocent death, Katie is the only voice of hope for all the suppressed souls held captive on the demonic ship. Katie also endures hellish treatment from Ferriman in her efforts to lead others away from physical and spiritual death. However, Katie’s love and compassion for the lives of others is greater than her fear and pain. Although she is not raised from the dead bodily within the narrative, her spirit rises triumphantly heavenward at the climax.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Forty Years and the Promised Land===== 40 years is a significant reoccurring number in the Christian faith.<ref>Collins English Dictonary http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/promised land</ref> The [[Israelites]] endured 40 years of great trial and testing in the wilderness before they were able to enter their promised land of rest. In Christian tradition, the earthly life is often compared to a time of trial in the wilderness and the Promised Land a metaphor for heaven.<ref>Collins English Dictonary http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/promised land</ref> Correspondingly, Katie has endured the “wilderness” and trials of the ship for 40 years, but as the result of Epps’ help she is inevitably freed to enter the “promised land” of heaven. =====Concept of Free Will===== Free will is both discussed and demonstrated in the story.<ref>{{cite book| last=Keck |first=Leander | title=The New Interpreter's Bible vol. 9 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN | year=2002 |pages=61-62}}</ref> Ultimately, the crew members who die are led to destruction by their own sins and their selfish desire for greed, lust and power. Epps is spared the fate of her shipmates through listening to Katie’s warnings and humbly responding to the truth.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Elevated Status of Children===== In the Christian bible God often uses the most humble and unlikely people to work through <ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |page=2283}}</ref> – Out of hundreds on the ship, Katie is the meekest, humblest and most unlikely to do anything significant, yet every soul on the ship ends up depending on her.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page production notes]</ref> Katie is also reminiscent of Christ elevating the status of children when he gave them special attention and profoundly declared that unless one humbles them self and has the faith of a little child, they will not enter the kingdom of heaven. This is further illustrated when Christ took a lowly child and placed him in the midst of his followers and stated that only those with childlike faith will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.<ref>{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | year=2001 |page=963}}</ref> This concept is demonstrated by Epps' willingness to humble herself to Katie's level.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> The role of children in Christian scripture – Comparisons could be made between Katie and several unpretentious bible characters such as the lowly shepherd boy David who defeated the warrior Goliath and became king. Outwardly both young Katie and David appear to be nothing more that mere children, however, inwardly they possess vast unforeseen potential and a tremendous strength of character.<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |page=563}}</ref> <ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Eternal Destinations===== In the film, as with [[Christian soteriology]] there are two clear eternal destinations which souls go to after death; ether heaven or hell. A heart of child-like faith will put one on the path to heaven, but a sinful life eventually leads to destruction.<ref>{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN | year=1983 |page=1902}}</ref> =====The Destructiveness of Sinful Choices===== One of the morals of the story is the corrupting dangers of pursuing riches. This theme also fits aptly within the religious concepts of the film.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> Sinful greed, lust, debauchery and selfish desire can influence ordinarily good people to do horribly evil things (1Timothy 6:9-10).<ref>{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | page=2195 | year=1991}}</ref> The choices made by the characters in the story illustrate this principle. “Be sure your sins will find you out” – As the story goes, sinful activities have consequences and will eventually have to be accounted for, and the ultimate payment for sin in the end is both physical and spiritual death (Romans 6:20-23). <ref>{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | page=2039 | year=1991}}</ref> <ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Loving Others before Ourselves===== “Greater love has no one than this – To lay one’s life down for their friends.” Katie and Epps are both willing put themselves at risk to save lives. Through the process of trying to help others both Epps and Katie experience help for themselves.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> “Those who seek to save their life will lose it, but those who are willing to lose their life will save it.”<ref>{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | page=1842 | year=1991}}</ref> In this sense Epps' life is saved, because she places the needs of others first. Katie also inherits eternal life in heaven by risking herself to help others. =====Purgatory===== The concept of purgatory (Whalen p. 1034-1039)<ref>{{cite book| last=Whalen |first=John | title=New Catholic Encyclopedia Vol. 11|publisher=Catholic University of America |location=Washington, D.C. | year=1983}}</ref> is also mentioned when Katie states that the ship had become like a “prison” where souls are trapped among the living between heaven and hell.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> ====Additional Symbolism==== =====Life as a Voyage on a Ship===== Life itself is comparable to a voyage on ship...illustrating that our lives are like a ship that is bound for one of two possible destinations.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> In the context of Ghost Ship, the voyage ends in destruction (death and hell) unless we get off. In this sense, Katie pleads with us to get off, but that involves humbly changing our ways and giving up the allure and pursuit of vain things such as wealth and power.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Symbols of Changing Times===== The once elegant and decaying ship is a symbol of changing times.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> In a similar manner, Katie can be viewed as a symbolic representation of childhood from a more innocent era. Just as the ship decays to ruin from its glorious 1950’s splendor, Katie’s deteriorating childhood possessions and even Katie herself, are evocative symbols of changing times and eroding childhood innocence.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> == Dichotomy and Contrasts == Katie is in some ways a complicated paradox: She has been deeply hurt and traumatized by all she has experienced, but by the same token, she is still very much an innocent child – Even after 40 years of resilient growth as a character. Katie exhibits a wide array of emotions from timid youthful innocence and joy, to extreme terror, sadness, loneliness, and solemn distress.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> ====Characters==== Even under tremendously trying circumstances Katie demonstrates an incredible inner strength of character without compromising the sweet kind-hearted "girly" girl she really is. The fact that Katie remains true to herself in spite of all the evil and suffering she experienced transcends their eroding influence and distinguishes her from the other characters.<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Ferriman===== Ferriman is representative of Satan and the crafty deceptiveness of evil in destroying people’s lives. Katie and Ferriman are at completely opposite ends of the Christian spectrum – The demonic Ferriman is totally depraved and evil while Katie is sweet and innocent. Katie is motivated by love and compassion, Ferriman is motivated by hate and rage.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> <ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Epps===== Although Katie and Epps are two completely dissimilar characters from different eras, they still grow quite close. Epps is "a woman working in a man's world"<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> and appears somewhat tough and masculine on the exterior like a tomboy. Although not specifically stated, the story indicates that Epps is likely from a broken home. On the other hand, Katie comes from a close, traditional nuclear family. In contrast to Epps, Katie is portrayed as a traditional mid-century girl and is slightly timid, but possess a stout inner fortitude despite her diminutive and delicate appearance.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> =====Francesca===== The sultry Francesca lives the more representative life of a performing artist. Unlike Epps who feels the need to downplay her femininity, Francesca leans toward the other extreme and attempts to flaunt her femininity to her own advantage, even to the point of her own exploitation. Conversely, Katie is still a virtuous and modest little girl, who has yet to be tainted by any corrupting influences of the world.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> =====Captain Murphy===== Captain Murphy appears to be a strong imposing ship captain on the outside, however, when confronted with trials and tribulations, his perceived strength is shown to be superficial. This is evident by his emotional breakdown where he shuts off emotionally and withdraws to himself while attempting to drown his problems in alcohol. In contrast, Katie appears to be very delicate in both physical appearance and personality. However, despite her dainty appearance, Katie proves her true strength and fortitude from within through dealing with her pain and problems directly, instead of allow it to define her<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> ====General Themes==== Light vs. darkness, good vs. evil, childhood innocence vs. wickedness, tragedy vs. triumph, simpler more wholesome times, vs. the complexity and loss of innocence of today.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> == Conclusion == On the surface, Katie’s story is an emotional tale of heartache and tragedy – Something that no young person should ever have to endure. However, Katie’s story is also essential to the plot. <ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> Through helping each other and being willing to put themselves at risk, Katie and Epps together achieve a triumph out of the tragedy and deliver a major blow to Ferriman and the forces of evil. Although the struggle over the souls of people will continue, this victory of the human spirit gives hope even in the face of terrible suffering, evil and even death.<ref>Ghost Ship DVD (2003) - Extra features and behind the scenes</ref> “Katie is really a very sweet girl. She's completely innocent…“ says Emily Jane Browning, who obviously became completely immersed in her character. “…She's been hoping someone would come onto the ship to be her friend, so when Epps arrives she's very excited – they develop a real friendship."<ref>[http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> ”Emily did an amazing job,” Director Steve Beck enthuses. “She gave Katie a real complexity…she's not just a little girl caught up in a ghost story…” Both Browning and Beck also added that underneath all her heartfelt emotions, Katie longs for vindication and justice.<ref> [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes]</ref> The deeply symbolic and metaphorical aspects surrounding Katie’s story along with the close relationships she develops with others lends support to the notion that the film was originally intended to be more than just another Hollywood “slasher” horror. This is further substantiated by Katie’s tearful and heartfelt story – Emotionally poignant and touching drama not usually associated with a horror picture.<ref>http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/ghost_ship_info.txt</ref> == References == ===Footnotes=== {{Reflist|colwidth=30em}} ===Cited Texts=== {{refbegin}} *{{cite book| last=Barclay | first=William | title=The Gospel of Mark |publisher=Westminster Press | location=Philadelphia, PA | isbn=0664213022 | year=1975}} *{{cite book| last=Barton |first=John | title=The Oxford Bible Commentary |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY | isbn=0-19-875500-7 | year=2001}} *{{cite book| last=Boettner |first=Loraine | title=Roman Catholicism |publisher=Presbyterian & Reformed Publishing Co. |location=Phillipsburg, NJ |isbn=0875521304 | year=1985}} *{{cite book| last=Buttrick |first=George | title=The Interpreter's Bible vol. 12 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN |asin=B000HTP248 | year=1957}} *{{cite book |title=Collins English Dictionary - Complete & Unabridged 10th Edition |date=2009 | publisher=Harper Collins |location=New York, NY}} *{{cite book| last=Dummelow |first=J.R. | title=Commentary on the Whole Bible |publisher=Macmillian Publishing Co. |location=New York, NY | year=1936}} *{{cite book| last=Gaebelein |first=Frank | title=The Expositors Bible Commentary vol. 1 |publisher=Zondervan |location=Grand Rapids, MI |isbn=0310364302 | year=1979}} *{{cite book| last=Gauding |first=Madonna | title=The Signs and Symbols Bible |publisher=Sterling Publishing Co. |location=New York, NY |isbn=1402770049| year=2009}} *{{cite book| last=Jamieson |first=Fausset | title=Commentary on the Whole Bible |publisher=Zondervan |location=Grand Rapids, MI| asin=B004BCQP8O | year=1971}} *{{cite book| last=Keck |first=Leander | title=New Interpreter's Bible vol. 9 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN |isbn=0687278228 | year=2002}} *{{cite book| title=Life Application Bible - New International Version |publisher=Tyndale House Publishers, Inc. |location=Wheaton, IL | lccn=90-71553| year=1991}} *{{cite book| last=Towns |first=Elmer | title=Liberty Bible Commentary |publisher=Thomas Nelson Inc |location=Nashville, TN |isbn=0840752954 | year=1983}} *{{cite book| last=Wall |first=Robert | title=The New Interpreter's Bible vol. 10 |publisher=Abingdon Press |location=Nashville, TN |isbn=0687278236 | year=2002}} *{{cite book| last=Whalen |first=John | title=New Catholic Encyclopedia Vol. 11 |publisher=Catholic University of America |location=Washington D.C. | lccn=66-22292 | year=1967}} {{refend}} == External links == * [http://www.dailyscript.com/scripts/ghost_ship_info.txt/ Daily Script_Ghost Ship] * [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0288477/ Internet Movie Database_Ghost Ship 2002] * [http://ghostshipmovie.warnerbros.com/production_notes.html?page=2/ Ghost Ship official movie page_production notes] * [http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ghost_ship/ Rotten Tomatoes movie review_Ghost Ship] [[Category:Analysis]] [[Category:Film]] c9ei7litkkkkomuft2yzkaxkyn3zoft MediaWiki:Autosumm-blank 8 124358 2810097 918935 2026-05-18T10:55:58Z Jtneill 10242 Update link 2810097 wikitext text/x-wiki Undo all revisions.

They can [[#Deletion of pages|delete]] pages, use [[Wikiversity:Rollback|rollback]], [[Wikiversity:Import|import]] from other wikis, and [[#Edit and move protection of pages|protect]] and unprotect pages. == How does one become a curator? == {{shortcut|WV:CUR/HOW}} Any [[Wikiversity:Who are Wikiversity participants?|Wikiversity participant]] willing to do a lot of [[#What can curators do?|dull and boring work]] for the community can become a curator. If you have a good editing record, then you are likely to be trusted and granted the privileges and responsibilities of curatorship. If you are still interested in being a curator, here is the process: {| style="border-collapse: collapse" border="1" cellpadding="4" | style="padding: 10px; text-align: center" | I | <div id="Request"> ;Request </div> You must request or be nominated for curatorship at [[Wikiversity:Candidates for Curatorship]]. State your reasons for seeking this position and in what areas you are or would like to be active. You may also refer to your contributions and indicate whether you have similar responsibilities at other projects. |- | style="padding: 10px; text-align: center" | II | <div id="Mentorship"> ;Mentorship </div> [[Wikiversity:List of custodian mentors|Custodian mentors]] are expected to guide and advise you on the appropriate use of curator privileges in accordance with established policy and community consensus. If any experienced custodian agrees to mentor you and you agree to their mentorship, then you will be approved as a curator. If you have any questions or concerns, you should contact your mentor(s) for guidance and advice. If you or your mentor terminate the mentorship agreement, you will have 48 hours to find a new mentor. Otherwise, your mentor may remove curator privileges after 48 hours without any further notice or community discussion. |} == What can curators do? == {{shortcut|WV:CUR/WHAT}} === Deletion of pages === {{see also|Wikiversity:Deletion policy}} [[File:Delete and Protect buttons.png|200px|right]] {{shortcut|WV:CUR/D}} Curators can delete pages including images, categories, templates, and so on. Deletion is subject to [[Wikiversity:Policies|policy]]. Deletion requests may be submitted by any user at [[Wikiversity:Requests for Deletion]]. Deleting a page does not actually remove it from the database. It merely becomes invisible to non-custodians and can be restored at request via [[Wikiversity:Requests for Deletion]]. Page deletions and restorations can be monitored by viewing the [[Special:Log/delete|deletion log]]. Curators may delete pages, but they do not have undelete rights. Before deleting a page, you are encouraged to read: [[Wikiversity:Welcome templates]]. === Edit and move protection of pages === {{See also|Wikiversity:Page protection}} Curators can [[Wikiversity:Page protection|protect pages]] to prevent editing. There are two types of page protection: semi-protection, which prevents anonymous and new users from editing, and full protection, which prevents all non-custodians and non-curators from editing. A page can also be protected to prevent moving. Page protection can be lifted by any custodian or curator upon request at [[Wikiversity:Request custodian action]]. Page protections and unprotections can be monitored by viewing the [[Special:Log/protect|protection log]]. === Rollback === {{see also|Wikiversity:Rollback}} [[Image:Rollback button.png|thumb|300px|Rollback button]] Curators have a ''[[Wikiversity:Rollback|rollback tool]]'' to revert the last change or group of changes made to a page by the same user. There is no option to provide an edit summary when using this tool. Instead, a summary such as "{{int:Revertpage}}" will be used automatically. This tool is primarily used to respond to obvious vandalism. For other edit reversions, the rollback button should not be used and a good edit summary should be provided. === Import === {{see also|Wikiversity:Import}} Curators have access to the [[Special:Import|import tool]], to bring in materials from projects such as Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Beta Wikiversity, Wikiquote, and Wikisource. == What can't curators do? == Curators cannot [[Wikiversity:Blocking policy|block users]] or assign user rights, as these actions require [[Wikiversity:Custodianship|custodian]] and [[Wikiversity:Bureaucratship|bureaucrat]] permissions, respectively. Removal of custodian and bureaucrat permissions can only be done by [[m:Steward requests/Permissions|stewards]] at Meta-Wiki. == How are curators expected to act? == {{shortcut|WV:CUR/E}} Curators are supposed to follow the same principles as every other user, including [[Wikiversity:Civility|being civil]], [[Wikiversity:Assume Good Faith|assuming good faith]], and understanding [[Wikiversity:What is Wikiversity?|what Wikiversity is]]. They are expected to act professionally, and to respect policy and [[Wikiversity:Consensus|community consensus]]. ==Problems with curators== {{shortcut|WV:CUR/P}} If you have a question about an action (page deletion, page protection, violation of Wikiversity policy or some other action that does serious damage to the project) by a Wikiversity curator, the first thing to do is leave a message on that curator's user discussion page. Curators should always be able to explain how their actions support the Wikiversity project. If you did not get a satisfactory answer after a discussion with the curator, follow up with their mentor. Actions of a curator are ultimately the responsibility of their mentor(s). Any custodian may remove a curator's rights, but first try to resolve all curator problems by discussion. Post a request at [[Wikiversity:Request custodian action]] if discussion does not successfully resolve the issue. == Inactivity == The maximum period of curator inactivity without [[Wikiversity:Community Review|community review]] is two years, consistent with the [[:meta:Category:Global policies|global policy]] at [[meta:Admin activity review|Admin activity review]] that applies for [[Wikiversity:Custodianship#Notes|Custodians]] and [[Wikiversity:Bureaucratship|Bureaucrats]]. Where a curator has been inactive for this period, notice should be placed on their talk page using {{tl|Inactive curator}}). If no response in received after one month, a Custodian may remove the rights. == Notes == {{shortcut|WV:CUR/N}} * Curatorship is a responsibility, not a right. While everyone is encouraged to apply for curatorship, the position is not suited for everyone. Please also note that in all instances not listed above, curators have no more power or weight than other users. "Curatorship is not a big deal." * Curators should set their "user preferences" so as to provide for email contacts from other Wikiversity participants. If you do not use email, then you must make yourself easily available by some other means such as [[Wikiversity:Chat|IRC chat]]. == Useful reads for curators == ===Wikiversity=== * [[Wikiversity:No shrines for vandals]] * [[Wikiversity:Policies]] * [[How to be a Wikimedia sysop/Wikiversity]] ===MediaWiki/Wikimedia=== * [[How to be a Wikimedia sysop]] * [[b:MediaWiki Administrator's Handbook|MediaWiki Administrator's Handbook]] ==See also== * [[Special:ListUsers/curator|List of current Wikiversity curators]] * [[Wikiversity:Bureaucratship]] * [[Wikiversity:Custodianship]] * [[Wikiversity:Support staff|Wikiversity:Staff]] [[Category:Wikiversity administration]] [[Category:Wikiversity curatorship]] [[Category:Wikiversity user roles]] a8nk92rdpyckltlijoac2vpnflhlq6v Template:Wikimedia for portals 10 205435 2809962 1582231 2026-05-17T22:35:43Z Jtneill 10242 Remove Wikinews (project closed) 2809962 wikitext text/x-wiki <div class="noprint" style="text-align:center;"> <div style="display:inline-block;margin:0 0 0.75em 0"> <p style="margin:0">The following [[Wikimedia]] sister projects provide more on this subject:</p> {{#ifeq:{{{w}}}|no|| <div style="float:left; margin:0 3px 3px 3px; font-size:91%;"> '''[[Wikipedia:{{{v|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}|Wikipedia]]'''<br> Encyclopedia<br> [[File:Wikipedia-logo.svg|x25px|center|link={{fullurl:Wikipedia:{{{w|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}|alt=]] </div> }} {{#ifeq:{{{b}}}|no|| <div style="float:left; margin:0 3px 3px 3px; font-size:91%;"> '''[[Wikibooks:{{{b|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}|Wikibooks]]'''<br> Books<br> [[File:Wikibooks-logo.svg|25x25px|center|link={{fullurl:Wikibooks:{{{b|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}|alt=]] </div> }} {{#ifeq:{{{commons}}}|no|| <div style="float:left; margin:0 3px 3px 3px; font-size:91%;"> '''[[Commons:{{{commons|Special:Search/Category:{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}|Commons]]'''<br> Media<br> [[File:Commons-logo.svg|25x25px|center|link={{fullurl:Commons:{{{commons|Special:Search/Category:{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}|alt=]] </div> }} {{#ifeq:{{{q}}}|no|| <div style="float:left; margin:0 3px 3px 3px; font-size:91%;"> '''[[Wikiquote:{{{q|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}|Wikiquote]]'''&nbsp;<br> Quotations<br> [[File:Wikiquote-logo.svg|25x25px|center|link={{fullurl:Wikiquote:{{{q|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}|alt=]] </div> }} {{#ifeq:{{{s}}}|no|| <div style="float:left; margin:0 3px 3px 3px; font-size:91%;"> '''[[Wikisource:{{{s|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}|Wikisource]]'''&nbsp;<br> Texts<br> [[File:Wikisource-logo.svg|25x25px|center|link={{fullurl:Wikisource:{{{s|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}|alt=]] </div> }} {{#ifeq:{{{voy}}}|no|| <div style="float:left; margin:0 3px 3px 3px; font-size:91%;"> '''[[Wikivoyage:{{{voy|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}|Wikivoyage]]'''&nbsp;<br> Travel guides<br> [[File:Wikivoyage-Logo-v3-icon.svg|25x25px|center|link={{fullurl:Wikivoyage:{{{voy|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}|alt=]] </div> }} {{#ifeq:{{{wikt}}}|no|| <div style="float:left; margin:0 3px 3px 3px; font-size:91%;"> '''[[Wiktionary:{{{wikt|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}|Wiktionary]]'''&nbsp;<br> Definitions<br> [[File:Wiktionary-logo-v2.svg|25x25px|center|link={{fullurl:Wiktionary:{{{wikt|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}|alt=]] </div> }} {{#ifeq:{{{data}}}|no|| <div style="float:left; margin:0 3px 3px 3px; font-size:91%;"> '''[[Wikidata:{{{data|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}|Wikidata]]'''&nbsp;<br> Database<br> [[File:Wikidata-logo.svg|x25px|center|link={{fullurl:Wikidata:{{{data|Special:Search/{{{page|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}|alt=]] </div> }} </div> </div><noinclude> {{Documentation}} <!-- PLEASE ADD THIS TEMPLATE'S CATEGORIES AND INTERWIKIS TO THE /doc SUBPAGE, THANKS --> </noinclude> 2ywcdx8yy1023dalopobswznwpf977i User talk:Saltrabook 3 207418 2809953 2767750 2026-05-17T22:04:29Z Jtneill 10242 /* IMHA Research Archives and its subpages */ Please indicate delete, keep, or move 2809953 wikitext text/x-wiki {{Robelbox|theme=9|title=Welcome!|width=100%}} <div style="{{Robelbox/pad}}"> '''Hello and [[Wikiversity:Welcome|Welcome]] to [[Wikiversity:What is Wikiversity|Wikiversity]] Saltrabook!'''

Anyway, a way forward. From my understanding you are wanting to develop pages for medical students in Latin America, I would ask on this though why do that on English Wikiversity? Personally I can see some sense in it but it has to be done the right way. I live in Brasil, so the language at home is Portuguese, I get the need for translations for Latin Americans, English is for better or worse the language of science these days, its not fair to non english speaking countries but it is what it is. Although the majority of countries in South America speak spanish they do not all speak spanish. Hence having pages in english made friendly to non english speakers, with a focus on Latin American languages would be helpful, but as {{ping|Dave Braunschweig}} has said they must be written in english first. If however your only going to focus on spanish, then you may be better off hosting this on the [[es:Wikiversidad]] as was suggested and provide english help there for this. But I think if you can do for example Spanish, Portuguese and French, ie covering all Latin America then basing it on the English Wikiversity with translation help for the Latin Americans could make sense. I think you need to think this through on exactly how you want to present it. Its a good idea, all Latin American scientists need english these days and for that I know from experience they need help. I am happy to advise on this idea, but we have to ensure this is the appropriate venue and that will depend on how you do it. Respond on your talk page with this, you can always use the <nowiki>{{ping}}</nowiki> template to alert others if you need comments it is used this way as I did above to ping Dave <nowiki>{{ping|Dave Braunschweig}}</nowiki>, also make sure you make sections when adding text with <nowiki>==title==</nowiki> when adding comments to talk pages. New comments should always go to the bottom of the page in general.

Learning how to wiki (competence!) Having a go at creating a multimedia presentation. Tutorials were generally stimulating and engaging. The text was generally easy to read and effective. Quiz release timing in the 2nd half of semester was most helpful. James is a great tutor - really communicating a passion for the subject, using plenty of hands on exercises like the TAT narrative, emotion sorts and heaps of instruments. Note that some of the exercises do require a fair level of trust among peers. Overall this is one of the best psych units I have done. I often recommend this unit to fellow students and mention the inventive assessment options to other teachers (and any friends I can corner about it for a few minutes). Notwithstanding the needs for improvement identified below, I have really enjoyed the course. I have also enjoyed opportunities for getting to know James and some of my fellow students much better. | style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:0.002cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| Quiz timing in 1st half of term was unhelpful and contributed to workload stress. Having 80% of the assessment due at the end of semester was another contributor to workload stress (a little more for 1st half pls). Re assessment items - less instruction about the wiki marking criteria for assessment, too little for the multimedia. For the wiki, there were too many things to get right, many of which seemed in conflict - I ended up giving up and writing what would help me. It seemed like we were being asked to depart from essay but still do an essay. If you want students to do something genuinely experimental, some of the psych essay thinking has to go. With the multimedia - too little guidance. What is 'Novel, independent, creative presentation style'? & how much of a mark is allocated for this? Is filming a Q&A interview really novel? Is using animation? It's certainly different to standard powerpoint. (not saying I didn't enjoy many of the presentations). Is it all down to using a new method? There seemed to be quite a rigid concept of creativity being used - it's possible to be creative using 'traditional' methods, surely. Can't content be creative, not just the medium used? Is selecting just the right images and style for the presentation an exercise in creativity? Would the animations seem less creative if everyone used them? What if using other media didn't suit your topic? I suppose what I'm getting at is that creativity is a great thing to encourage but it's a tricky thing to evaluate fairly. It made me laugh (or otherwise respond strongly), engaged and kept my interest are usually how we judge. But they're also pretty subjective criteria. Not a complaint about my marks - which were fair. Just reflecting on the process & what is creativity for me. Also, noticed some of the assessment comments didn't pick up on the implications of new media. Yes, credits may flash past briefly at the end but the joy of having a recording is that the watcher can pause it for as long as is necessary to get the required information. Different topic - the tutorial buddy system - great if you're extroverted or have a class where you already know heaps of other students. Excruciating if not. Even worse, if some students intentionally exclude someone. Had my say on the midterm feedback about that. Did notice James making an effort to seek out solo students when group activities assigned at lectures. It's a start. |- | style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| James Neil is a terrific teacher once again.

There was a wikiversity book chapter worth 55% that is a lot of weighting for one assignment. Definitely need more help with this assessment and the way to set it out as this is a psych subject not an IT subject and there was a heavy emphasis on computer and html skills that most of us wouldn't have. The same goes for the multimedia presentation this also had a heavy emphasis on computer skills which most of us had trouble with. Although this assessment is much better than an exam or essay as it's more interesting, creative and interactive more lectures need to be dedicated to this assessment so that a better understanding is made towards the layout and language of wiki and multimedia players/websites etc. |- | style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:none;padding:0.097cm;"| N/A | style="border-top:none;border-bottom:0.002cm solid #000000;border-left:0.002cm solid #000000;border-right:0.002cm solid #000000;padding:0.097cm;"| This unit should not be using Wiki's as major pieces of assesment.

I am particularly committed to our educational efforts. I have made four MOOCs on the FutureLearn Platform for CS-DC. I am also committed to our research mission with UNESCO towards the achieving the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. I have extensive experience within the complex systems community, including various complex systems coordination actions funded by the European Commission, I am a founder member and past president of the Complex Systems Society, and a past Deputy-President of the CS-DC. In 2026 I set up the CS-DC Press to produce books available as free PDFs with printed copies available at very low cost. The CS-DC Press will publish research and educational books. As a member of the Executive Committee I would focus on education, working towards CS-CD professional certificates and qualifications at the level of university bachelors and masters degrees. New Candidatures to the Executive Committee for [2026] === Manifesto – Candidature for the Executive Committee of UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC === ===== Prof. Daniel Schertzer, Ecole nationale des ponts et chaussées ===== Dear UNESCO CS-DC Councillors, I am writing to express my sincere interest in serving as a member of the Executive Committee of UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC. I am deeply committed to fostering the community of complex systems and am eager to contribute to the organisation of this talented group. I am particularly interested in the “living roadmap” of CS-DC, a unique feature that operates through two complementary strategies. Firstly, it addresses major transversal problems, and secondly, it focusses on classes of complex systems. This integrative systems framework is particularly pertinent to geosciences, which are increasingly integrating urban sciences, sustainability science, territorial planning, computational modelling, socio-ecological intelligence, and digital governance. Consequently, TIMES—Territorial Intelligence for Multilevel Equity and Sustainability—is built on this integration process and is one of CS-DC’s principal flagship projects. The new chalenge with TIMES is to do it across scales, not only at an arbitrary scale. I possess extensive international experience as a scientist, mentor, leader, organiser, and editor, which I believe would be valuable assets to this role. Sincerely, Daniel Schertzer [https://hmco.enpc.fr/team-view/daniel-schertzer/ Short CV of Daniel Schertzer] '''Flavia Mori SARTI, Ph.D., Professor and Researcher, University of Sao Paulo, Brazil''' I present my interest in being candidate for the CS-DC Executive Committee to contribute to the dissemination of knowledge in complex systems at the local and global level. I am representative of the University of Sao Paulo (USP) at the CS-DC since 2012. I work with complex systems modeling since the creation of the Interdisciplinary Research Group of Complex Systems Modelling at the School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities (EACH-USP) in 2006. Our research group succesfully implemented the first interdisciplinary graduate program titled Master in Complex Systems Modeling in Brazil, in 2010. I have been participating in the program commission since 2010, and I was coordinator of the graduate program from 2010 to 2014. I have supervised 12 students in the program and two postdoctoral fellows, followed by publication of several book chapters and papers on complex systems applied to public policies, including models on tax evasion, health systems regulation, health insurance, food policy and nutrition programs, and complex networks on scientific collaboration and global food trade. I have been invited to present seminars and talks on complex systems applied to food systems, health economics, and public policy. My goals in the CS-DC Executive Committee include: * To disseminate the role of CS-DC in education and research on complex systems, especially in developing countries; * To support and to engage other research groups working with complex systems for participation in the CS-DC; * To contribute further with management and organization of CS-DC activities during the period of 2022-2024; * To continue supporting capacity building in complex systems through supervision and other academic activities; * To foster innovation, research and development strategies through complex systems applications in public policy and entrepreneurship. '''Alberto A. Rasia-Filho, MD, Ph.D, Professor and Researcher, Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre (UFCSPA) and Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Brazil''' Dear Councilors of the UNESCO CS-DC, It is an honor to submit my candidacy for the CS-DC Executive Committee for 2026. Please let me introduce myself as a Full Professor of Physiology (UFCSPA), Supervisor in the Biosciences (UFCSPA) and Neuroscience Graduate Programs (UFRGS), and a researcher on human neuronal morphology, dendritic spines, synaptic plasticity, and social/emotional neural networks (National Council for Scientific and Technological Development, Brazil). Professional Identifier/ORCID: 0000-0003-4623-5916. Currently, I am participating as head of the e-Team "Morphological Heterogeneity" in the UNESCO CS-DC, led by Prof. Enver Oruro Puma, Principal Investigator of the Morphodynamic Neuroscience and Behavior eLab CS-DC, and Prof. Grace E. Pardo, Scientific Research Institute, Continental University of Cusco, Peru. We integrate morphodynamics across different scales of brain organization and neural network functions in complex systems, considering neuronal morphology itself as an emergent level of organization. The structure of neural cells and their connectivity within the brain volume are morphodynamic features with interactions from cellular morphogenetic elements, the local cell neighborhood, and synaptic connections. In turn, the emergent functions of networks are organized around a series of conceptual, experimental, and computational foundations. These ideas were developed—and are now open to additional discussions—in the recent article from our group: “New Directions for Complex Systems in Contemporary Neuroscience: A Morphodynamic and Emergent Function Approach” (Research Topic: Theoretical and Computational Insights into Brain-Based Cognition/Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience). This represents an ongoing research line available for further collaborations in Complex Systems Science. I will be (1) committed to the Action Plan 2026 (and beyond) from the current 2026-31 Action Plan/Complex Systems Digital Campus UNESCO UniTwin, (2) working to integrate interdisciplinary approaches and eTeams, sharing knowledge and opportunities for complex systems education and research, as well as (3) contributing to country and continent engagement and representation in line with worldwide aims, (4) including the academic formation of young scientists. ----'''Norberto Garcia-Cairasco, BSc, MSc, PhD, Full Professor of Physiology-Neurophysiology, Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine, University of São Paulo (FMRP-USP), Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo State, Brazil.''' Dear Councilors of the UNESCO CS-DC, It is an honor for me to submit my candidacy for the CS-DC Executive Committee for 2026. Please, let me introduce myself as a Full Professor of Physiology-Neurophysiology, Ribeirão Preto School of Medicine, University of São Paulo (FMRP-USP), Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo State, Brazil. At FMRP-USP, I am Supervisor (Master and PhD) at both Graduate Programs in Physiology and Neurology/Neuroscience & Neuropsychiatry. I have been the Founder and the Director for almost 40 years of the Neurophysiology and Experimental Neuroethology Laboratory, where we conduct research in the characterization of epilepsies and associated neuropsychiatric comorbidities, using behavioral, electrophysiological, cellular, molecular and computational integrated tools, in both experimental and collaborative clinical settings. Our main funding comes from the State of São Paulo Foundation (FAPESP), the Federal agencies National Council for Research (CNPq) and the Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). Professional Identifier/ORCID: <nowiki>https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8857-3775</nowiki>. I am currently the Head of the e-Team “'''Epilepsy and Neuropsychiatric Comorbidities”''' in the UNESCO CS-DC, led by Prof. Enver Oruro and Prof. Grace E Pardo, Principal Investigators of the Neurocomputing, Social Simulation, and Complex Systems Laboratory at the Instituto Científico of Universidad Continental del Cusco, Peru. Complex systems are involved in abnormal functioning and the refractoriness to pharmacological approaches of epileptogenic neural circuits, with additional multilevel complexity derived from associated, usually neuropsychiatric comorbidities. We, indeed, propose that the morphodynamics of neurons and glia in neural circuits can be studied as an initial step toward understanding proper wiring and stable properties, including neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, receptors, and intracellular signal transduction components, as well as plastic features, environmental stimuli, attention, and learning. These ideas were developed, and are now open to additional discussions, in the recent article from our group: “New Directions for Complex Systems in Contemporary Neuroscience: A Morphodynamic and Emergent Function Approach” (Research Topic: Theoretical and Computational Insights into Brain-Based Cognition/Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience). This represents an ongoing research line available for further collaborations in Complex Systems Science. I will be (1) committed to the Action Plan 2026 (and beyond) from the current 2026-31 Action Plan/Complex Systems Digital Campus UNESCO UniTwin, (2) working to integrate interdisciplinary approaches and eTeams, sharing knowledge and opportunities for complex systems education and research, as well as (3) contributing to country and continent engagement and representation in line with worldwide aims, (4) including the academic formation of young scientists. In addition to the above-mentioned agenda and goals, I will offer, for the leverage of outreach activities, my experience of more than four decades in the '''''Neuroscience & Arts''''' connection. In fact, I am co-Founder of the “Brain Awareness Week” in Brazil (since 2012) and currently the Coordinator at the Institute for Advanced Studies at USP-Ribeirão Preto of the “'''''Science, Arts, Education and Society Network - ScienArtES'''''”. In 2022, I received the Title of ''Doctor Honoris Causa'' (Biology) from the Universidad de Salamanca, Spain. Finally, I am also, since 2026, a Member of the Brain Literacy Initiative Alliance: Uniting for Brain Research-Informed Education Worldwide. ---- == Candidature for the New President for [2025, 2026] == '''Manifesto – Candidature for New President of UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC''' '''Prof. Paul Bourgine''' : If elected, my main commitment is to create the conditions for a self-organized development of our UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC as autonomous communities of communities for our flagship TIMES and its Knowledge & Knowhow Accelerator one-for-all & all-for-one (KKA).

Thanks to our previous efforts especially of the two last years, the remaining work amount is ten times less than we were anticipating at the beginning of the 2<sup>nd</sup> renewal of our UniTwin by UNESCO 2020-2026.   If elected, my duty will be not only to fulfill entirely the commitments of our Cooperation Program with UNESCO but also starting an exponential increasing development wave for our UniTwin network (through their continent and country Councils) and of our e-Campus (through CS-DC’25 and e-Labs’26 Conferences especially for our Flagships for sustainable development). The Knowledge & Knowhow Accelerator will directly benefit from 1) such conference series, 2) our past and new flagships for sustainable development and 3) a new decentralized strategy for collecting donations in our decentralized network of X-Legal Entities. == New Candidatures to the Executive Committee for [2025] == === Manifesto – Candidature for the Executive Committee of UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC === '''Prof. Silvius STANCIU, PhD in Economics, PhD in Engineering, Habil.'''

I am very honored to place my candidature for the UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC Executive Committee. I am Enver Miguel Oruro Puma, Ph.D., principal investigator of Neurocomputing, Social Simulation, and Complex Systems Laboratory at the Instituto Científico of Universidad Andina del Cusco, Peru (https://sites.google.com/view/orurolab/). Since 2009, I have promoted and organized conferences and academic events on Complex Systems in Latin America. Recently, I have promoted the area of computational neuroscience on infant attachment (https://sites.google.com/view/envermiguel/seminar-in-maternal-infant-relationship-studies). It would be a great honor for me if given the opportunity to contribute to the Executive Committee of UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC in the integration of Complex System research groups in the Latin American Region. For this, I propose the creation of two periodical activities: 1) A Special Lectures Series on Complex Systems UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC oriented to experts on Complex Systems, and 2) A Invited Advanced Lectures UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC oriented to experts who do not identify explicitly with complex systems '''Pierre Collet, full professor of Strasbourg University, on secondment to Universidad Andrés Bello, Instituto de Tecnología para la Innovación en Salud y Bienestar, Viña del Mar, Valparaiso, Chile'''. Since 2012, I have contributed to the elaboration of the CS-DC Unesco UniTwin together with Paul Bourigne, Jeffrey Johnson and many others, and I have been co-coordinator of the CS-DC UniTwin with Cyrille Bertelle since its creation in 2014. Starting part of this great adventure has changed my academic and personal life: thanks to the UniTwin, I have changed my research from stochastic optimisation, artificial evolution and AI in general to complex systems and epistemology. Participating in this UniTwin allowed me to make new contacts and start incredible projects that I could not have imagined before. It has even changed my life, as I am now living in Chile, having been recruited by ITISB, an institute founded by Carla Taramasco, the CS-DC representative for South America. Together with Paul and others, we would like to revive UniTwin by preparing another world conference inspired by the great success of [https://cs-dc-15.org CS-DC'15] and also develop flagship projects such as POEM (Personalised Open Education for the Masses) and the [https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Portal:Complex_Systems_Digital_Campus/E-Laboratory_on_complex_computational_ecosystems ECCE e-lab], which this year has welcomed a new very active [[Figures of Play/Les figures du Jeu e-team|Figures of Play]] that has started the [https://ludocorpus.org/ Ludocorpus] in France. As said before, this incredible UniTwin adventure always pays off for those who invest in it and in its great challenge: to develop the new science of complex systems through research and education. Through its projects, it contributes to making the world a better place to live in, despite the constant attacks on science coming from the most unlikely places. Science is the solution, not the problem, to many of the world's plagues. We must put our energy into developing it and defend it against all its detractors. That is why I am once again standing for election to the Executive Committee of this great CS-DC UniTwin. Modern science is Complex Systems science. It is important that its beacon continues to illuminate the world, and we must invest our time and energy in it. == Candidature Deputy President for [2024, 2025] == '''Jeffrey JOHNSON, Professor of Complexity Science and Design, The Open University, UK''' I offer myself as a candidate both to be President and to the Executive Committee of The UNESCO UniTwin Complex Systems Digital Campus (CS-DC) so that I can help to drive it forward to achieve it goals. I am particularly committed to our educational efforts. I have made four MOOCs on the FutureLearn Platform for CS-DC ( <nowiki>https://www.futurelearn.com/partners/unesco-unitwin-complex-systems-digital-campus</nowiki> ): Global Systems Science (2015-16); Systems Thinking and Complexity (2017-18); First Steps in Data Science with Google Analytics (2018-19) and COVID-19 - Pandemics, Modelling and Policy (2020). CS-DC has a great opportunity to become the global university providing interdisciplinary education for a better world. I am also committed to our research mission with UNESCO towards the achieving the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. My own research on representing the dynamics of complex multilevel systems is relevant to many of the research initiatives of CS-DC. I have extensive experience working within the complex systems community. I have run various coordination actions supporting research programmes funded by the European Commission, I am a founder member and past president of the Complex Systems Society, and I am Deputy-President of the CS-DC. I believe this experience will enable me to make a significant contribution the CS-DC over the next three years. == New Elected President for [2023, 2024] == Paul BOURGINE, present President of the UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC, Complex Systems Institute of Paris I offer myself as a candidate to be President of The UNESCO UniTwin Complex Systems Digital Campus (CS-DC). My previous commitment two years ago is below. The bad news is that it was not achieved. The good new is that we know now how to create 'autonomous community of autonomous communities' as a social network with IPFS (the InterPlanetary File System) like the new development of Wikipedia. If elected, my first commitment is to finish this job as quickly as possible. My second commitment is simultaneously to visit each country of the UniTwin for creating its country.CS-DC and its roadmap with young eTeams shared by their Universities with a senior scientific committee.

BARRIOS H., PhD., Professor, Bucaramanga, Colombia ''' I write to express my interest to candidacy to be part of the CS-DC Executive Committee. I'm very motivated to develop actions to strengthen digital ecosystem supporting research and education proposals of our CS-DC Council. Among these years participating in the CS-DC group, I can see different ways to leverage the impact and the development of our actions with computational strategies, and now, I want to be part of the leadership council joined mutual visions. My experience leading the Advanced Computing System for Latin America and Caribbean (SCALAC : http://scalac.redclara.net ) and as member of other leadership boards in international projects (mainly between Europe and Latin America) supports my candidature. (linkedin.com/in/carlosjaimebh) Also, my role as professor, director and researcher contributes to build the common vision of the CS-DC Council and the leadership of the CS- DC Executive Committee. '''Mina TEICHER, Professor of Bar-Ilan University, Israël''' I submit my candidacy to the Executive Committee of the CS Digital Campus. If elected I will work towards our following needs, using my past experience in Professional international societies, universities managements and the data industry :  * We need in the near future to build an optimal and effective agreement with the Complex System Society. * We need to build a business  plan for fund raising. * We need to build a modular budget for 2021. * We need to build a strategy for geographically extension.  * We need to build a strategy for thematic  extension.  * We need to build partnerships with the big multi national high tech Companies in network and in content.  '''Yasmin MERALI, Professor of University of Hull, UK''' This manifesto is connected with the ideals that I had as a founding member of our UniNet which was conceived as part of the FP7 ASSYST project. CS-DC has come a long way since its initial conception. The way I see it, there are three categories that have grown to emerge as our core activities- * Capacity building through education and training in Complex Systems Science * The application of Complex Systems Science to address global challenges * The advancement of Complex Systems Science through research and development. I believe this is a good time to link back to the inception of our UNITWIN which was in part inspired by considerations of issues at a human scale, and the desire to address the inequalities that divided the so-called developed and developing countries. This resonates strongly with the ambition of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we are currently grappling with. In the growth phase of the UNITWIN and CSDC we have been focused on extending the size of the network, and scaling up our educational offerings across the digital campus. In the next phase I believe we need to: # understand and leverage the diversity and distinctive capabilities and resources (e.g. indigenous knowledge) of the countries in our network to develop a healthy ecosystem, and # tailor the support that we provide to align with the diverse nature of their relational and social capital and their economic, political and environmental challenges and priorities with regard to the SDGs. I am concerned that if we do not explicitly design a social/ideational exchange mechanism that attends to these two imperatives, we will not have full, active participation of all member institutions, and the countries of the South that do not currently have champions in Europe will be marginalized. If elected I would champion a strategy of organizing ourselves following the Complex Adaptive Systems paradigm, as a hyper network with dynamically connected local clusters. In practical terms I would like to begin by establishing the local (country-based) clusters and establishing a discourse that would allow us to map the diverse profiles, challenges and aspirations for the different countries. This would then form the basis for the development of a mechanism for shaping the meaningful collaborative development of our three core activities to deliver advances that are globally co-ordinated and locally responsive. Personal Profile: I am Professor of Systems Thinking at the University of Hull and have served as Director of the Centre Systems Studies there. Prior to that I was Co-Director of the Doctoral Training Centre for Complex Systems Science at the University of Warwick. My research is transdisciplinary, focusing on the use of Complex Systems Science to enhance the resilience of socio-economic systems. I am an Expert advisor to the EU and I have significant experience of lecturing internationally as Visiting Professor in Asia, Europe and the USA. '''Céline ROZENBLAT: Professor, University of Lausanne - Institut de géographie et de durabilité (IGD), Switzerland''' I'm pleased to applied to become member of the CS-DC council. As founding member of CS-DC, my university, the university of Lausanne, is very engaged in Complex sciences. I would not only represent my university, but also social science as geographer and vice-president of the International Geographical Union and member of the International Science Council commission on Urban Health and Well being. I would act in the council in specific programs to develop the reality of the Digital Campus of the Complex systems. All these actions combine very ambitious interdisciplinary approaches, and in this perspective, we developed with CS-DC for 3 years the TIMES Flagship Territorial Intelligence For Multilevel Equity And Sustainability. It comprises four main programs: '''SIRE''': Socially Intelligence Roadmap Ecosystem '''POLE:''' Personalized Open Lifelong Education '''WOSI:''' Worldwide Open Smart Innovation '''WOSP:''' Worldwide Open Stochastic Prediction In this perspective a MOOC « Healthy Urban system » is now in development, basing the interdisciplinary approach on the CS-DC Road-Map grid. It seems very useful and relevant in this implementation stage. I would help to develop other programs in this perspective\[Ellipsis] '''André TINDANO, Director General of CARFS (African Center for Research and Training in Synecoculture)''' What motivates me to aspire to the position of member of the executive committee of CS DC is my long term participation in the promotion of sustainable development and my commitment to the sharing of knowledge and expertise. My research interests Sustainable agriculture, ecology, nutrition, life science. I have a strong experience in: * Administration and management of development projects and programs; * Accompaniment of associations and groups; * Technical capacity building (animation of training sessions and reflection workshops). * Action research; * Sociological, socio-economic and economic studies. * Development of development projects and programs; * Training of trainers * Results Based Management Training (RBM) * Monitoring and evaluation of development programs and projects; * Management of programs and development projects; * Institutional development and organizational strengthening; * Development and implementation of training / awareness / animation program; * Very good knowledge of participatory methods '''Guiou KOBAYASHI, Associate Professor at Federal University of ABC in São Paulo State, Brazil. ''' I worked with fault-tolerant computer systems for nuclear power plants and Metro signaling systems and recently my interests have evolved to resilience properties of Complex Systems. Traditionally, redundancy was the main feature for fault-tolerant and fail-safe systems, but the adaptability and the evolution of Complex Systems are the key elements for the resilience of these systems. How to characterize, design and implement these key elements in our future resilient systems? The Complex System - Digital Campus (CS-DC) is a way to create a world-wide community of researchers, philosophers and students to promote and discuss this kind of questions involving Complex Systems. For me, participating in its foundation was a great honor and I am very glad for the opportunity that I have had to contribute since 2012 in the consolidation of CS-DC. Through this manifest I am applying to be one of the members of the new CS-DC's Executive Committee. I would like to help just a little more to strengthen and structure this fantastic community through which I had the opportunity to meet important people with very interesting works that expanded my knowledge of Complex Systems. Although my University and my personal contribution for CS-DC are very limited and small, I hope to continue to work with this great team.

Co-coordinator of the CS-DC UNESCO UniTwin''' The CS-DC initiated by Paul Bourgine, Jeffrey Johnson, Cyrille Bertelle and many others has been an extraordinary adventure a) to instantiate as a UNESCO UniTwin and b) to develop and run since it was enacted in July 2014. Many a night have been spent on designing its inner workings, so that it can deliver an effective affordance for the scientists who wish to develop the science and teaching of Complex Systems. Indeed, many projects seeded in the CS-DC have come to fruition, showing the enormous potential of this fertile environment not only for research, but also for teaching: the BBB rooms set up by the CS-DC have not only made it possible for the CS-DC to organize conferences, but have also shown their potential as remote teaching rooms in many Universities around the world. It has been an honour for me to be part of the development of the CS-DC since its beginning, but so much remains to be done! In this manifesto, I hereby express my strong desire to continue developing the CS-DC in these trying times, when the effects of the pandemics stretch thin the social links that our research and teaching communities need most. My objectives for this new mandate are not only to deliver a new world conference (originally planned in 2020 but unfortunately delayed due to the high toll imposed on us all, teachers and researchers alike, by COVID-19) but also continue on developing not only efficient complex computational ecosystems (cheap powerful PARSEC machines have been installed in several universities) but more specifically remote teaching environments based on complex systems, to mitigate the terrible impact of the pandemic on face to face education, within the POEM CS-DC flagship, on which Paul Bourgine and myself have been working for many years now.. '''Mariana C. BROENS, Professor - UNESP - BRAZIL.''' As members of the Executive Committee, our main challenge will be to raise, analyse and to discuss possible positive/negative ethical and political implications of the further development of the Complex Systems Science, and their application on studies of everyday social problems. In particular, We believe that the widespread use of complex system models and Big Data analytics can bring important questions about people's privacy, personal and corporate responsibility, widespread surveillance by public or private institutions, among many others, that should be deeply discussed in our community. Our contribution will be to raise and deepen these discussions from an interdisciplinary perspective. '''Cyrille Bertelle, Professor in Computer Sciences, University Le Havre, France, co-coordinator of the CS-DC UNESCO UniTwin''' I am a candidate for the CS-DC Executive Committee to represent the University of Le Havre Normandy, which is co-coordinator with the University of Strasbourg of the convention of recognition of the CS-DC as UniTwin by UNESCO. The University of Le Havre has made available to the community, resources and skills to provide digital collaborative tools for the organization of the Councils and the CS-DC'15 virtual conference. The objective I wish to take is to facilitate the involvement of member universities not only by their representatives on the council but by allowing researchers from these member institutions to join concrete and accessible actions. Co-responsible in the past of a master's degree on complex systems and then of the creation of the institute on complex systems in Normandie (France) in a multidisciplinary framework, I have participated in the setting up of the project labeled by the French national program of investments for the future and entitled "Smart Port City". The aim is to think about the future of territories in a sustainable development approach supported by new technologies and concerned about the environment and the well-being of their citizens. My research skills are focused on implementing the complexity of complex dynamic systems and networks, crossing behavioral scales from the interaction of human behaviors to the technical networks of the territory. The book "complex systems, smart territories and mobility" from the Springer's Understanding Complex Systems series, which will be published in January 2021 (https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030593018) illustrates the research coordination actions that I lead in these fields. '''Slimane Ben Miled, Senior Researcher at Pasteur Institute of Tunis, Professor at ENIT''' Our Tunisian consortium want to constitute a collaborative Research Training Programs to increase data science capacity related to health research in Africa by building trainings and enhancing institutional capacity at African academic institutions. The academy/project is based on 4 pillars to build a training ecosystem for Data and Engineering Science in health. # A platform of federated master’s programs with à la carte optional courses covering informatics/computer science, biomedical informatics, data science, statistics, and public health). Each program will keep its independence, with a mention to the academy label, and this platform will allow to enrich the training with optional modules, seminars, and courses in the partner institutions. New curricula will be created in relation to ethical issues. # Network of Doctoral programs and Executive programs # Platform of federated Business incubator and a career center offers training, support and funding for projects related to the project’s topic. This challenge is in perfect agreement with the Sustainable Development Goal 3 and the CS-DC flagship PHYSIOMES (Personalized Health phYSIcally, sOcially and Mentally for Each in their networkS). '''Masa Funabashi: researcher of open complex systems at Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc.''' I would like to contribute to the executive committee of CS-DC on the following two pillars: * Promote the FOOD (From smart agrOecOnomy to smart fooD) flagship project that aims to resolve the health-diet-environment trilemma through the promotion of sustainable food systems, in collaboration with the e-lab "human augmentation of ecosystems" members institution: Sony CSL, Synecoculture Association, CARFS, and those who wish to participate in CS-DC collaboration. * Construct a basic e-learning content on Synecoculture and ecological literacy as a part of CS-DC MOOCs and perform initial trials, principally in ECOWAS countries, through the Sony CSL-CARFS collaboration. Through the development of on-going activities in FOOD project and making synergy with other flagship projects, I would like to contribute CS-DC as a member of the executive committee and realize further extension toward the achievement of global sustainability goals such as SDGs.

In case of invasion, it can affect the agriculture and pastures of about 25 countries including those of the poorest countries of the world, from Mauritania to India, while its best and most effective strategy of struggle is preventive struggle by targeting its first centers of gregarization which are very small in space and much better known today. In 2005, the costs of its struggle in the Sahel and North Africa amounted to half a billion dollars, with 8 million farmers and pastoralists affected in the Sahel. It also massively invaded Asia and Africa. 'East Africa in 2020. On this subject, I have spent 30 years studying and fighting and developing a national strategy against this scourge which has made it possible to establish a whole prevention model and an institutional, technical, operational mechanism. and scientific effective in my country that can be adapted and copied and in all other affected countries: Biogeography of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria, Forskal, 1775: Identification, characterization and originality of a gregarious focus in central Mauritania (HR.HORS COLLEC.)

Finally, I will work actively with my colleagues on the Executive Board on all aspects of other cross-border scourges but also all aspects of improving agro-sylvo-pastoral production tools as well as the fight against poverty and food insecurity and nutrition in line with the goals (SDGs) '''Dr. Habil. László Barna Iantovics, Associate Professor at “George Emil Palade” University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of Targu Mures, Romania.''' With the present manifesto, I would like to candidate as a member of the CS-DC Executive Committee. I am the representative of “George Emil Palade” University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of Targu Mures from Romania in CS-DC. Some of my research and academic activities are related to the complex systems, including: publications, organization of conferences (e.g. Symposium on Understanding Intelligent and Complex Systems - UICS 2009; 1st Int. Conf. on Complexity and Intelligence of the Artificial and Natural Complex Systems Medical Applications of the Complex Systems. Biomedical Computing -CANS 2008; 1st Int. Conf. on Bio-Inspired Computational Methods Used for Difficult Problems Solving. Development of Intelligent and Complex Systems - BICS 2008), contribution to conference committees (e.g. Int. Conf. Emergent Proprieties in Natural and Artificial Complex Systems - EPNACS 2007; Workshop on Complex Systems and Self-organization Modeling -CoSSoM 2009), preparing journal special issues (e.g. Special Issue on Complexity in Sciences and Artificial Intelligence; Special Issue on Understanding Complex Systems), participating in journal’s editorial board (e.g. Complex Adaptive Systems Modeling -CASM, SpringerOpen), and contribution to research in projects and projects coordination (Social network of machines- SOON; Hybrid Medical Complex Systems -ComplexMediSys). I was the director of the center Advanced Computational Technologies – AdvCompTech in the frame of my university. At present, I am the director of the Center for Advanced Research in Information Technology from my university. I would like much deeper involve myself in the life and activities of the CS-DC community. My objectives: * To involve junior and senior researchers from my university in activities regarding research and education. To motivate universities and research institutes from my country to contribute to CS-DC. I consider also universities and research institutes with that I have collaboration in the past. * To PROPOSE the formation of a so-called doctoral and postdoctoral students group. In the case of doctoral and postdoctoral students probably in time more students would like to be involved in activities. In this framework, I suggest the organization yearly 3 times (from 4 to 4 months) workshops in that all the interested students could discuss, present their research and research in progress. With this occasion in the frame of workshops if there is interest could be established separate sessions with presentations also by B.Sc. and M.Sc. students. * To PROPOSE the strengthening of the following research direction with the general topic: intelligent complex systems and machine intelligence measuring. One of the subtopic by interest will be complex systems approaches in medicine and healthcare. To be accomplishable this subject I propose in a first step the formation of a group of interested persons, after then the establishment of the functionality of the group, for example: discussions when are subjects that should be discussed etc. ==Elected members to the Executive Committee & as (Deputy-)Presidents== '''Jeffrey JOHNSON, Professor of Complexity Science and Design, The Open University, UK''' I offer myself as a candidate both to be President and to the Executive Committee of The UNESCO UniTwin Complex Systems Digital Campus (CS-DC) so that I can help to drive it forward to achieve it goals. I am particularly committed to our educational efforts. I have made four MOOCs on the FutureLearn Platform for CS-DC ( https://www.futurelearn.com/partners/unesco-unitwin-complex-systems-digital-campus ): Global Systems Science (2015-16); Systems Thinking and Complexity (2017-18); First Steps in Data Science with Google Analytics (2018-19) and COVID-19 - Pandemics, Modelling and Policy (2020). CS-DC has a great opportunity to become the global university providing interdisciplinary education for a better world. I am also committed to our research mission with UNESCO towards the achieving the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals. My own research on representing the dynamics of complex multilevel systems is relevant to many of the research initiatives of CS-DC. I have extensive experience working within the complex systems community. I have run various coordination actions supporting research programmes funded by the European Commission, I am a founder member and past president of the Complex Systems Society, and I am Deputy-President of the CS-DC. I believe this experience will enable me to make a significant contribution the CS-DC over the next three years. '''Paul BOURGINE, present President of the UNESCO UniTwin CS-DC, Complex Systems Institute of Paris''' I offer myself as a candidate both to be President and to the Executive Committee of The UNESCO UniTwin Complex Systems Digital Campus (CS-DC). If elected, my main commitment is to create the conditions for a self-organized development of our UniTwin UNESCO CS-DC as autonomous communities of communities. This self-similar development will be the case both for the two main branches the UniTwin branch of our institutional members and the global eCampus branches of our individual scientific members: * for the UniTwin branch, the communities of communities are a territorial cascade with Smart Continents, smart countries, smart cities for their sustainable development according our flagship TIMES (Territorial Intelligence for Multilevel Equity and Sustainability). The roadmap is always the same, i.e. the cascade of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and their 169 Targets: but their relative importance and coherence within this cascade vary from one territory to the others. The institutional members of the UniTwin branch have signed their agreement with the Cooperation Programme signed with UNESCO. In 2021, the CS-DC will ask for a cascade of agreements inside each institutional member, in order to have a "one for all" amplification within the other branch, the e-campus branch. * for the eCampus branch, the cascade of communities is along the refinement cascades when studying the theoretical and experimental challenges of complex systems. With Smart Continents'21, scientists are proposing their individual challenges that enact basic communities and communities of communities within the e-departments. In the "all for one" return, the roadmap of each university is the cascade of roadmaps within the eCampus where the University has at least one member. Furthermore each community can organise a monthly e-seminar or e-session in workshop as well as in CS-DC'21 for recorded advanced introductions. Such advanced introductions can be the basis for curriculum largely shared by the set of Universities having members in the community cascade of the curriculum. This "accelerator of knowledge and knowhow one for all and all for one" will first benefit to the student curriculum through the flagship POEM (Personalized Open Education for the Masses). This accelerator can be extended through the flagship POLE (Personalized Open Lifelong Education) for a lifelong education. This extended accelerator will be open to all, independently of previously achieved academic levels, respectful of the diversity of social and cultural environments and in a higher and higher inclusive way including refugees, migrants and primary people. genders, religions or ways of life. i9nb624ux8w8dveftrf3yy9865jkmys Firefox/Browsing history database 0 281767 2810065 2554544 2026-05-18T09:51:36Z Elominius 2911372 Added SQL line for formhistory. 2810065 wikitext text/x-wiki This guide shows how to read the browsing history database created by the Mozilla Firefox web browser. The title of this page can be understood as both "browsing through the database" and "the database that contains the browsing history". The database is named <code>places.sqlite</code> and located in the [[Firefox#Profiles|profile folder]] and is in the SQL (''Structured Query Language'') 3 format. To facilitate using the commands, you may navigate to the profile folder directory, copy the database file into your working directory, or put the path to the database file in a variable. == Simple searching == Some data can be viewed directly through text editors and command line tools, but they are inconveniently wrapped in a mess of non-human-readable binary data. When viewed through the command line simple checks for the existence of a title or URL can be performed using <code>grep -a -i -l "string" places.sqlite</code> (parameters: search binary file, case insensitivity, list files only). Title searches can be performed using <code>grep -a -i -o -P ".{30}string.{30}" places.sqlite</code>, where thirty characters around the string are also shown for context. <code>grep -P "[A-Za-z0-9/]"</code> can partially filter out junk characters for a <code>|less</code> pipe. Additionally, <code>|sed -r "s/http/\nhttp/g"</code> creates a line break before each URL. == Listing the "tables" == First, we have to find the names of the "tables" that the database contains. These are the various areas within the database file that store parameters including the main history (<code>moz_places</code>), bookmarks (<code>moz_bookmarks</code>), favicons (<code>moz_favicons</code>), and user-specified keywords (<code>moz_keywords</code>).<ref>[https://renenyffenegger.ch/notes/development/web/browser/Firefox/profile-folder/places_sqlite/index ''renenyffenegger.ch'']</ref><ref>[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/947215/how-to-get-a-list-of-column-names-on-sqlite3-database ''How to get a list of column names on Sqlite3 database?'' – StackOverflow.com]</ref><ref>[https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/sqlite-tutorial/sqlite-show-tables/ ''SQLite Show Tables: Listing All Tables in a Database'' – SQLiteTutorial.net]</ref> This can be done either directly, sqlite3 places.sqlite .tables …or within an ''sqlite3'' session. <syntaxhighlight lang=sh> $ sqlite3 places.sqlite # […] sqlite> .tables moz_anno_attributes moz_favicons moz_items_annos moz_annos moz_historyvisits moz_keywords moz_bookmarks moz_hosts moz_places moz_bookmarks_deleted moz_inputhistory sqlite> </syntaxhighlight> The tables may vary depending on the browser's version.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20190902112616/http://www.forensicswiki.org/wiki/Mozilla_Firefox_3_History_File_Format Mozilla#Database_Tables Firefox 3 History File Format § Database Tables – Forensics Wiki (revision as of September 2011)]</ref> A list of columns within a table can be obtained through <code>pragma table_info</code>, as shown here in this example: <syntaxhighlight lang=sh> $ sqlite3 places.sqlite "pragma table_info(moz_places)" 0|id|INTEGER|0||1 1|url|LONGVARCHAR|0||0 2|title|LONGVARCHAR|0||0 3|rev_host|LONGVARCHAR|0||0 4|visit_count|INTEGER|0|0|0 5|hidden|INTEGER|1|0|0 6|typed|INTEGER|1|0|0 7|favicon_id|INTEGER|0||0 8|frecency|INTEGER|1|-1|0 9|last_visit_date|INTEGER|0||0 10|guid|TEXT|0||0 $ sqlite3 places.sqlite "pragma table_info(moz_historyvisits)" 0|id|INTEGER|0||1 1|from_visit|INTEGER|0||0 2|place_id|INTEGER|0||0 3|visit_date|INTEGER|0||0 4|visit_type|INTEGER|0||0 5|session|INTEGER|0||0 </syntaxhighlight> Since the default pipe character in the output could interfere with a command line interpreter's URL highlighting, which makes the selection of URLs less convenient, a custom separator character can be specified using <code>.separator</code> in the <code>~/.sqliterc</code> file to prevent this. For example, a space character is specified using <code>.separator " "</code>. Create that file if it does not exist.<ref>[https://database.guide/change-separator-to-comma-in-sqlite-query-results/ Change the Separator to a Comma in SQLite Query Results (2020-04-13)]</ref> == Reading the data == Tables from the database can be read through the <code>SELECT</code> operation, with table columns as a dot notation after table names. For example, the following command obtains time stamps and URLs.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://linuxconfig.org/sqlite-linux-tutorial-for-beginners |title=SQLite Linux Tutorial for Beginners |author=Dale Edmons |date=20 September 2021 |access-date=16 February 2022 }}</ref> <syntaxhighlight lang=sh> sqlite3 places.sqlite "SELECT datetime(moz_historyvisits.visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch'), moz_places.url,title FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id" |sort |less -i </syntaxhighlight> An example output line is: <pre> 2012-04-15 15:56:56|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiuK01bf9X8|Die Pinguine aus Madagascar - Rico Intel Werbung (Operation Super Rico) - YouTube </pre> With custom space separators: <pre> 2012-04-15 15:56:56 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CiuK01bf9X8 Die Pinguine aus Madagascar - Rico Intel Werbung (Operation Super Rico) - YouTube </pre> The <code>datetime(moz_historyvisits.visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch')</code> part is responsible for converting the Unix epoch time written in the database into a human-readable date and time stamp such as <code>{{#time:Y-m-d H:i:s}}</code>. The <code>|sort</code> pipe makes the entries appear chronologically. This can be desirable for exporting since the order the entries are written in the database is not exactly chronological. Alternatively, <code>ORDER BY visit_date</code> can be used if natively supported by your ''sqlite'' instance: <syntaxhighlight lang=sh> sqlite3 places.sqlite "SELECT datetime(moz_historyvisits.visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch'), moz_places.url,title FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id ORDER BY visit_date" |less -i </syntaxhighlight> After <code>ORDER BY visit_date</code>, sorting order can be specified using <code>ASC</code> (ascending) or <code>DESC</code> (descending). Finally, the <code>|less</code> pipe allows directly scrolling through the entries in the terminal software through [[:w:less (Unix)|the "less" utility]] which enables interactive bi-directional scrolling using the arrow keys and <kbd>pgUp</kbd> and <kbd>pgDn</kbd> and string searching using "<kbd>/</kbd>" (slash). The <code>-i</code> parameter makes string searching case-insensitive. Case-sensitivity can also be toggled within the utility by typing <code>-i</code>. Optionally, the history can be exported by redirecting the output into a text file by using <code> >>filename.txt</code> instead of <code>|less</code>.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://aurelieherbelot.net/web/read-firefox-history-linux-terminal/ |title=How to read your Firefox history from the terminal |author=Aurelie Herbelot |access-date=2022-02-15 }}</ref> This also allows viewing individual time stamps for repeated visits of the same page, since Firefox records a time stamp for each visit, whereas Google Chrome, while recording visit count, overwrites the previous timestamp, meaning only the most recent visit date/time is recorded by Chrome.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45644269/chrome-history-possible-to-see-date-of-each-visit-restore-history-to-a-previ|title=Chrome History - possible to see date of each visit / restore history to a previous date?|website=Stack Overflow|access-date=2022-03-04}}</ref> On Firefox, the former XUL-based extension "Norwell history tools" enabled viewing individual visit times too,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20181102045141/https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/norwell/|title=Norwell History Tools :: Add-ons for Firefox|date=2018-11-02|website=web.archive.org|access-date=2022-03-04}}</ref> but XUL extensions are unsupported on Firefox versions 57 "Quantum" (November 2017) onward, and no known successor to the extension has been released since as of 2022. The form history can be viewed using this SQL line: <syntaxhighlight lang=sh> sqlite3 formhistory.sqlite "SELECT datetime(lastUsed/1000000,'unixepoch'),fieldname,value FROM moz_formhistory ORDER BY lastUsed DESC"; |less </syntaxhighlight> === Shortcut function === Opening the database file can be facilitated through a shortcut function: <syntaxhighlight lang=sh> $ mozhist() { sqlite3 "$1" "SELECT datetime(moz_historyvisits.visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch'), moz_places.url,title FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id ORDER BY visit_date" |less -i; } $ mozhist places.sqlite </syntaxhighlight> To load this function automatically, add it to the <code>~/.bashrc</code> file. === Raw data === To extract the raw data from the database in human-readable form, run <code>sqlite3 places.sqlite .dump |less</code>. This can be helpful for performing simple title or URL searches (<code>|grep search_string</code>), but not for dates, since they are not stored in a human-readable format in the database. == Repairing a corrupted database == If Firefox happens to rename the <code>places.sqlite</code> file to <code>places.sqlite.corrupt</code>, it means it has detected an error whlist reading the database.

Even allowing primary, secondary or tertiary sources to make a subject notable may not work, since a contributor is allowed to create variants or research that is not made in sources. Articles about people and organizations are different, since this is not directly related to teaching. What standards of notability should we set for people and organizations? Other articles should never be required to have a notability requisite. As an example, there are real subjects that don't get included in Wikipedia because they don't have 3 secondary sources (and sometimes they make even more demands than that). An organizational course or school that uses Wikiversity wouldn't fall in this category. - [[User:Sidelight12|Sidelight12]] <sup>[[User talk:Sidelight12|Talk]]</sup> 03:36, 9 September 2013 (UTC) : I've never liked the notability criterion for anything. It's subjectivity pure and simple. --[[User:Marshallsumter|Marshallsumter]] ([[User talk:Marshallsumter|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Marshallsumter|contribs]]) 04:07, 9 September 2013 (UTC) ::On Wikipedia it has been a hassle. Since they want to require an excess of secondary sources for something undoubtedly real, then keep ''making up'' standards simply, because they don't like something or want to stick with obsolete ideas. I can agree with no notability for subjects. People and organizations are different, there shouldn't be an article about everybody, or a local group only known to themselves. Allow primary and tertiary sources that are third party. It seems like a fine line between not letting in a scientific journal used in pubmed and allowing a group of people known to themselves to be as an article. To an extent it is subjectivity, there can be 20 secondary sources, and some ''moron'' would claim, "well they're not really reliable sources." I understand how frustrating it is, on Wikipedia, to get into edit conflicts with agenda pushers/biased/narrow minded people, and people who want to delete anything they can. - [[User:Sidelight12|Sidelight12]] <sup>[[User talk:Sidelight12|Talk]]</sup> 04:31, 9 September 2013 (UTC) :::Wikiversity is about learning resources, not about people and organizations.

Notability is subjective. I can envision a variety of articles about organizations and/or people that would meet educational objectives. The masters degree program I completed was an IT degree, but we reviewed dozens of companies and industry leaders throughout the courses, and were required to write about many of them along the way. That said, I do have an idea that I think would work if we want to go in this direction. Rather than our own endless discussions on notable or not notable, we could use Wikipedia as a guide. If an article exists as a Wikipedia entry (with some minimum longevity), it is accepted by definition as 'notable'.

The edit was totally inappropriate, it was spam. the epithet was a deliberately offensive comment aimed at a global sysop who helps out at Wikiversity. The editor who made the comment was properly blocked, by the global sysop. A local probationary custodian revision-deleted the edit summaries. The edit summaries were not needed for any legitimate use here, but there is a problem with revision deletion. Generally, every administrative action here is transparent. If someone is blocked for making offensive comments, the comments can be seen by anyone in history. It is as if the whole wiki is a public place, with a public memory. There are legal reasons for having revision deletion available as a tool, but it's one that can, sometimes, increase public distrust of the administrative body. There is a policy on Wikipedia for revision deletion: [[w:Wikipedia:Revision deletion]] :''RevisionDelete was introduced for administrators in 2010. The community's endorsement of the tool included a very strong consensus that its potential to be abused should be strictly barred, prevented by the community, and written into the policy. Especially, RevisionDelete does not exist to remove "ordinary" offensive comments and incivility, or unwise choices of wording between users, nor to redact block log entries.'' :''Material must be grossly offensive, with little likelihood of significant dissent about its removal. Otherwise it should not be removed. Administrators should consult as usual if uncertain that a revision would be appropriate to redact.'' Now, because this editor was clearly a vandal, and was simply using the edit summary to insult the global sysop who had been reverting his vandalism and blocking his accounts, I do not raise this for this case, which is why I'm not providing diffs. I'm raising this because revision deletion is a dangerous tool. We have rarely used it. Sysops are trained to have thick skins. The sysop did not complain and request revision deletion. The offensive summary did not land on the sysop, but on the user who wrote it, who looks like a complete idiot, and a nasty person, to boot. Our deletion policy mentions revision deletion as a possibility, but provides no guidance. When it is actually needed, revision deletion can be a bit of an emergency. Therefore a custodian should be empowered to act promptly. Except for repeat cases, I suggest that any usage of revision deletion here be noticed on [[WV:RCA|Request custodian action]] and the action requested is review by another sysop. This would not apply to repetitions of something already considered. The request should describe the removed material, in terms that can stand. I.e., here, I referred to it as an "offensive racial epithet." My concern here is that the custodian, new to use of tools, used revision deletion without any apparent awareness of the need for restraint. It wasn't mentioned. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 23:57, 9 October 2013 (UTC) {{support}} -- [[User:Dave Braunschweig|Dave Braunschweig]] ([[User talk:Dave Braunschweig|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dave Braunschweig|contribs]]) 01:25, 10 October 2013 (UTC) :{{oppose}} -- this is nonsense. the edit history was offensive.

Files that are used here, it can be argued, should continue to be hosted here. If a file is copied to Commons, it is possible that the file is later deleted on Commons, because of issues that interfere with the strict Commons policy of only allowing free content with no restriction other than attribution. This has happened after years of being hosted there. Sometimes license issues are quite complex. Then the Commons delinker will come and delete the local reference to the file. If the file has been deleted here, ordinary users cannot see the file here, and cannot determine if a fair use claim would be appropriate, in order to supply a non-free use rationale for usage here. I see no value at all to deleting local files, in use here, merely because they are also on Commons. I also see a lot of files that are being copied to Commons that have no reasonable use elsewhere, but that's a Commons issue. Note that if a page here is edited or deleted, so that the file is not used here, these files could easily be deleted from Commons, and a user here cannot then restore the page as it was, without custodial action. Deletion of files moved to Commons simply makes work for custodians and risks damage to resources here, producing nothing of value. We should remove this as a reason for speedy deletion. We can and should keep the NowCommons category, so that users who want to improve Commons do not waste time checking to see if the file is already on Commons. (Some users, copying files to Commons, change the file name. That is contrary to Commons general policy, local file names should be kept if possible.

By the proposed rule (either wording), any user page of a user who has not edited Wikiversity otherwise ("participating") and who does not explicitly state interest in participation, and who creates another user page with similar content elsewhere, becomes eligible for speedy deletion. ::What would be allowed individually, on each wiki, becomes disallowed by being repeated? If this were ordinary content, added at high rate, it's understandable. It's not. It is a ''user page.'' The existing controversy is only over a user page. '''''If the proposed policy is about pages other than the top-level user page, yes.''''' We could use this clarification of policy. The top-level user page should be excepted. It is speediable if it, ''by itself,'' is recognizable as spam. "Cross-wiki" for it, is irrelevant. As a content page, say in mainspace, yes, such creations would very likely be "spam," with few exceptions. ::Creating a user page is not "indiscriminate." It is targeted. There is a move afoot to effectively automatically create user pages cross-wiki, on all the wikis, see [[meta:UserWiki]]. ::Does the proposal suggest that we review the cross-wiki status of a user before welcoming them? ::How is "no apparent interest" determined? Registering an account here and creating a user page is an indication of ''some level of interest.'' What has actually happened is that cross-wiki spam fighters have ''inferred'' a promotional interest, and then it is assumed that if there is a promotional interest, there is no participational interest. But a user page with no participation is not terribly effective as promotion. It will be seen when created and then never again, unless someone is already looking for it, in which case the "promotion" is irrelevant. ::It's a can of worms, guaranteed, over time, to cause a certain level of disruption, with no gain as to our "educational mission." We gain nothing by "preventing promotion" on this level. Users routinely link to photos of themselves, or other photos they have taken, hosted on Commons or here. ::''spamming as it is called on the bigger wikis.'' Try to find the policy covering that on en.wikipedia. Cross-wiki spam is handled at the meta level, by a small, rather closed group of administrators, who are not working with a defined policy. It's "spam" if they say so. Users are locked and sites are blacklisted, sometimes, without discussion, and they get away with this because they are ''usually handling actual spam.'' Usually their actions cause no harm. The exceptions can be doozies. ::Defining spam isn't necessarily easy. However, what happens is that the cross-wiki antispammers become mind-readers, assuming that because something resembles spam in some way, it's spam. That's confusing a symptom of a thing with the reality of it. If I receive an email that is not offensive, that in some way relates to my interests, that is connected with them, I don't think of it as spam, even if it was sent to many people. Reviewing the cross-wiki situation with Augusto De Luca, it's likely that only a very few local administrators considered this "spam" independently. I have found evidence for maybe one, out of 557 instances. When tagged with "cross-wiki spam, see CA" quite a few more deleted the user pages, but most deletions were done directly by a global sysop and two stewards. There are now two discussions of the user pages. So far no deletions from discussion have occurred, but the argument "no intention to work locally" does have legs. ::It is obvious that this user did not intend to work on content locally in all 557 wikis. But it's highly likely that he intended to work where the occasion arose. Communication with him has been cut off by the global lock, because he cannot enable email, so he cannot set up watchlist and user talk page notification. That would have taken him quite a bit more time than what he did, and he was locked before he had the chance. ::The antispam effort is preventing participation, whereas our overall policy is to encourage it. Spam should be strictly defined. Antispammers may certainly make exceptions for the protection of the wiki, but they develop an agenda of "preventing promotion," when, in fact, promotion is not contrary to policy, if it is not what is called "excessive" on Wikipedia, referring to user pages. If this user posted his photos all over the wiki, at a high rate, not on his user page -- one page per wiki! -- I'd have no trouble calling that spam.

In what I bolded above, I suggest a small modification, plus I'd be happier with clearer definitions. What I see is that the existing criteria (1 and 2) are adequate for most purposes. What is being suggested is actual practice, which is that some edits which would be tolerated here, otherwise, are handled as spam because of being cross-wiki. That is only for marginal cases, in fact. This is what I find remarkable about this effort. As the amendment is stated now, it still does not clearly indicate that the user page would be speedy deletable, or not. It remains ambiguous, depending on discerning intent, i.e., mind-reading. ::::I think we need to look carefully at something missing from the speedy deletion criteria. We routinely allow lots of pages in user space that are not allowed elsewhere, and one criterion (sandbox other than the site Sandbox) explicitly allows in user space what is disallowed elsewhere. The criteria are generally written assuming that the pages are in mainspace or namespaces other than user space. A user page is an exception, and, I'll repeat, if the speedy deletion criteria are amended as proposed, and interpreted to apply to [[User:Augusto De Luca]], we are specifically prohibiting users from creating accounts on all wikis unless they have demonstrated participation or explicit participatory purpose here. We are creating a difficult-to-enforce speedy deletion criterion. ::::I think it's important to recognize that there is ''almost'' consensus here. ::::*Clear spam (visible from the edit itself) is deleted or reverted on sight. As to reversion, that's easily fixed and is transparent. Page deletion is not, and thus requires extra care. ::::*If a user page is clearly only being created to set up spamming, perhaps to make it seem more acceptable (user not redlinked in Recent Changes), then we agree on deletion. There was an example recently, where I did challenge the speedy deletion tag on a user page. When the tagging user disputed that, and I looked more closely at the page, the user was almost certainly lying about "herself," and the behavior clearly resembled known spammer behavior, so I agreed with deletion. "Spambot" was asserted, but that's actually irrelevant. Spammers may manually do these actions, and this wasn't massively cross-wiki. The behavior was really the same whether a bot was involved or not. ::::*We appreciate notice of what is considered cross-wiki spamming, by cross-wiki antispammers. ::::So, I propose clarifying the policy to allow consideration of "cross-wiki" behavior in speedy deletion criteria. However, at the same time, I propose that an exception for the top-level user page be carved out. User pages are often promotional in some way, or interpretable as such. That's why Wikipedia doesn't prohibit such promotion. ::::Deletion of a user page, possibly created in good faith by the user, believing that this was not contrary to policy, and seeing many user pages cross-wiki that resemble the page the user is creating, is about the most unwelcoming thing we could do, aside from blocking and locking. If the user page is excessively promotional, in our judgment, any one of us may trim it back. In the Augusto case, trimming it back would be silly. It was already slim. If someone starts a wiki project and wants participation, and puts a notice on their user page, cross-wiki, is that "spam"? In this case, there is an ''image project,'' a collection of photos available for use on Commons. While the utility is limited, so too was the impact of the "notice," i.e, only on the user pages, one per wiki. That is about as minimal as could be imagined. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 18:57, 9 April 2014 (UTC) @[[User:Dave Braunschweig|Dave Braunschweig]]: I could definitely go with that formulation.

That's mainspace, or can be interpreted also as topic, school, and file space. Yes, some of the criteria do obviously apply to user space. But the user page has never been required to have an "educational purpose" other than, perhaps, introducing the user to the community. And the instant case did exactly that, introduced the user, with minimal fuss. If we want to extend speedy deletion criteria into user space, in particular, and to be clear, we need different standards. RFDs for user space files are rare, and we often avoid deletion of pages by pushing them into user space. If we overextend the criteria, it backfires by creating contested speedy deletions; the general policy on speedy deletion is that any registered user may contest the deletion, making proposed deletion or RFD necessary. The point of speedy deletion is to avoid that. (IP users may also contest it, but might commonly be reverted, as a matter of practice, not policy.) In the case we have in front of us, "cross-wiki spam" was interpreted, at first, as allowing speedy deletion (and later it was realized that the criteria don't allow that.) We are proposing, and I agree, that cross-wiki behavior can be relevant for many page deletions, and this is actual practice. If this is used to delete non-disruptive user pages, however, with ''possible legitimate intent,'' we may see what actually happened here. The page was deleted, I saw the discussion and looked at the cross-wiki behavior, which showed me the likely page content, so I requested undeletion for review. We are already getting up to more work than the loss that would be involved in simply leaving the page alone. The page was (properly) undeleted, but the custodian then started the RFD. That is taking us way outside the work we will normally devote to "spam." Had this been ''actual spam,'' the RFD would have been unnecessary. I'd have seen the file and speedy-tagged it myself. Or it could have been prodded. Instead we got a train wreck. So we need a clear criterion to follow, so that we all know what the community consensus is likely to be. I'm suggesting an approach that fully respects the work that antispammers do, and only looks at a marginal case, alleged "self promotion" that is cross-wiki. We have done a lot of work to establish Wikiversity as a safe place, a refuge, if you will. We have allowed users to edit here even if locked elsewhere (by facilitating an acknowledged sock, or by a device that used to work for delinking a local account from the global one). If users behave and are not disruptive here, we don't sanction them for what they have done elsewhere. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 19:19, 9 April 2014 (UTC) == User pages == Wikiversity has developed a strong tradition of allowing essays, original research, and other kinds of personal content, opinion, etc., in user space, or as explicit attributed essays in resource subspace. When content is allegedly non-neutral, it has been widely accepted to handle this by pushing controversial material to subspace, attributed, or to user space, and this may be done by any user, it does not require a custodian. Almost all users who see their resource moved to user space do not object, thus this is far less disruptive than a deletion request, and often such requests result in moving to user space anyway, either as a close, or actually done before close and accepted. A resource in user space may be improved, at the discretion of the user, and then may be moved back to mainspace (which will ordinarily take custodian intervention if it is moved back to the same page name). Personal essays as mainspace resources can cause harm to Wikiversity. Such essays may represent fringe positions, idiosyncratic opinions, and are often not neutrally presented. By identifying this as attributed essays, harm is prevented. Several users have worked for a long time, now, moving essays out of top-level mainspace, and this work is only rarely disruptive. It's time to formally state in the draft policy that personally-authored user pages are not to be deleted unless it is truly necessary to hide the content. Recognizing this is not an open door to spam. Rather, genuine page creation spam has no redeeming qualities. Most spam here is the addition of external links, and those are remedied by blanking the links. If a user page is ''intrinsically damaging or harmful,'' it should be deleted, and almost always this can be handled with a speedy deletion tag. If content is harmful, but the page itself is not, the harmful content can be removed, and even revision-deleted if necessary. (Content requiring revision deletion is ordinarily handled, where appropriate, by off-wiki communication, because making a revision deletion request on-wiki calls attention to the harmful content, and may thus cause additional harm.) We simplify a whole series of historically disruptive situations ("disruption" occurs when a process is controversial and contentious discussion occurs) by establishing in policy that, absent clear harm, user pages are not to be deleted. If the tradition is then strong that pages that are problematic (don't belong in mainspace, or consensus for that is absent) are moved to user space (either of the creator or a user willing to "adopt" the page), we have eliminated a major cause of disruptive deletion discussions, and almost all highly controversial discussions on Wikiversity have been such. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 15:39, 18 April 2014 (UTC) ===Proposed addition=== ------------- Absent clear harm from keeping a page -- as distinct from removing or editing harmful content -- (in which case a custodian will ordinarily speedy delete the page) -- pages in user space are not to be deleted. Most standards for Wikiversity content do not apply to user space. Moving to user space is then a possible and easy solution to most page problems that would otherwise require deletion. Exceptions are blatant spam (not merely "self-promotion") with no possibly useful content in history and no reasonable possibility of such, pages where the page name itself is grossly offensive and uncivil, and clear and blatant copyright violation (where a "fair use" claim is not possible), and privacy policy violations where page deletion is necessary as distinct from revision deletion. ------------- Please discuss. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 15:39, 18 April 2014 (UTC) * No, because ultimately your userpage does not belong to you, it belongs to the Wikimedia Foundation and they have the right to decide what they want to do with it. Wikiversity is not your webhost; there are often other sites to host your content, such as say WikipediaReview or a Wordpress blog. And "clear harm" is a vague, non-concrete standard, that's open to varying interpretations by many different people, and is not so easily discernible; as evidenced on the deletion requests page, what is "clear harm" or "cross-wiki spam" to some may not be "clear harm" to others. I'm sorry but this seems like an attempt to circumvent the consensus found at the RFD page.

There is, indeed, a conflict of visions here. If content has ''potential educational value,'' even if minimal, we routinely do not delete it. We ordinarily do not allow users to edit the user pages of others, '''absent clear harm.''' I don't need Wikiversity to host "my" content. Free web space is easy to obtain. For me, the question is whether or not content created here will be safe from transient, ad-hoc, and unexpected deletion. The question is whether or not we will stand as censors: "you may say ''this'' on your user page, not ''that.''" You may create a user page on every wiki, "best place to reach me, [wiki]User talk[name]," but not place a photo stably hosted on Commons, which then, through "what links here" points to articles. ::I had been moving toward inviting scientists and others to contribute there. They are suspicious of wikis, based on what they have seen on Wikipedia. When I see arbitrary deletion, and train wrecks of discussion over an RFD that could not possibly improve this wiki, but only harm it, I realize that maybe they are right. Wikiversity is, perhaps, unreliable. * No, harm is a highly critical and volatile standard that is likely to cause more harm. I think offering specific solutions that participants can learn from to implement concrete solutions works much better. I think most standards for Wikiversity content do or should apply to user space. I think the only exceptions are about what additional things the Wikiversity community decides to allow participants to do in user space that is felt may not be appropriate to include in other namespaces. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 12:25, 19 April 2014 (UTC) ::For a long time, the development of policy has been hindered by mostly-absent administrators who show up to preserve their freedom to do whatever they please, who act to block anyone who questions this, and as long as this prevails, even if it is inactive and only present, most of the time, in the background, Wikiversity cannot be stable. What I described in the proposed policy is what we have actually been doing, while those who have just shown up were doing something else. ::Attempts were made, over two years ago, to codify recusal policy, and, as well, how to make exceptions, to act under IAR, outside of policy. It was stopped, resisted, and ignored. Indeed, policy receded, what had been considered policy for years was demoted to proposed policy, based on a technicality, not on substance. JWSchmidt was right. There was a hostile takeover of Wikiversity, through a mechanism that is quite natural to wikis, if not recognized and handled. The proposal here of avoiding deletion was part of the founding vision of Wikiversity. ::There is another alternative to deletion which isn't mentioned: blanking. If a page is blanked, the content is still visible on history. Later, anyone, seeing that content, may restore it -- or propose restoration. ::If people are offended by someone "using Wikiversity as a web host," first of all, if this is spam, we will continue to delete it, it's speediable. If it is not spam, but, say, personal biographical material, we routinely allow it. But if it is excessive -- I can't think of an example in actual practice, so this would be rare -- we could blank it. Blanking was proposed for Wikipedia, see [[w:WP:PWD]]. Google doesn't pick up content from history. It could have avoided the massive inclusionist/deletionist wars. Blanking can be done by any user, and if revert warring develops over it, then a discussion may be necessary. Blanked pages may be protected, requiring custodial intervention to add content. But the history remains accessible to the user and others. ::I am not proposing "high freedom" in mainspace. Deletion policy, quite simply, must be different for mainspace and for user space, and that's obviously our practice, we routinely avoid deleting fringe or marginal educational resources by moving them to user space. If mainspace content policy applies to user space, that would be useless. ::So if user space content is to be deleted, we need to warn users, so that users do not waste time creating what may readily be deleted. This function of policy -- creating predictability -- has been widely ignored in favor of a view of policy that is about "controlling behavior." ::I hope we can come to consensus here, because if we cannot, Community Review remains, reviewable issues have been piling up. I see the future of Wikiversity as being at stake. With certain basic policies in place, the rest can be worked out, safely. Without them, Wikiversity remains unsafe. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 14:34, 19 April 2014 (UTC) * No, to me it goes back to [[Wikiversity:Mission|mission]]. The difference between user space and other spaces is an assumption that the learning is personal. I have a very liberal view on what constitutes learning, but I'm not prepared to state we don't delete user pages, or to state that the way to avoid deletion is to move content to user space. Legitimate learning should be valid in either main space (likely as subpages) or in user space, depending on target audience. But if it doesn't support the mission of Wikiversity for either the user or other users, a page may be deleted. -- [[User:Dave Braunschweig|Dave Braunschweig]] ([[User talk:Dave Braunschweig|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dave Braunschweig|contribs]]) 15:03, 19 April 2014 (UTC) :::Thanks, Dave. Your idea is ''almost'' what I would propose, and the difference is about the excluded middle, and about how difficult decisions can become in the middle, and thus how contentious the decisions, how much time they can waste. The time is well spent if the content is clearly harmful, but if it is clearly harmful, the page is ordinarily speediable, and if someone removes a speedy deletion tag for clearly harmful content, that's sanctionable -- or should be -- though we should generally assume good faith. :::My concern is not only the safety of Wikiversity for users, but also the practicality of custodial decisions, such that such decisions clearly represent consensus -- and where they do not, or arguably do not -- to provide guidance for custodians seeking to serve consensus. If a custodial decision is marginal, a good custodian will know how to consult the community, and will do so actively. :::A standard of "lack of educational objectives" is often very simple and clear, in mainspace. It is ''not even required,'' routinely, in user space, and particularly on the user page. A user may routinely place an image or quotation there, or a link to their own personal web site (that's controversial, it is only allowed, generally, for active users, otherwise it can be considered spamming the site). A user creating a massive unrelated structure in user space might well be questioned. We would not delete it without notice, though, again, unless it's a new user and this is all they have done. :::The real policy, i.e., what we actually do, is work to document. It seems easier to sit back and deal with each case as it arises, but, then, the actions can be other than what consensus would actually support, and they can be unpredictable to users not intimately familiar with the wiki history and practices. :::Yet there are deletion discussions that raise similar issues, and that have for years, where the outcome is relatively predictable. Those waste time and custodial attention. We save time if we clarify policy. :::Move to user space (or maintenance there) is not proposed as "the way." It is "a way" to avoid deletion, one that, as you know, we often use. The founders of Wikiversity were highly liberal as to what was allowed in mainspace. We are still cleaning up the resulting mess. However, the highly inclusive ''intention'' of the founders may be maintained, through two devices: user space and mainspace essays, often moved to subspace because of site neutrality issues. We use both. :::No policy is being proposed that we "don't delete user pages." That would be far too rigid. However, what is being proposed is that policy ''discourage'' deletion of user pages, ''absent harm.'' Obviously, people may differ on what is harm, and as examples arise, policy may be clarified. (Wikipedia has a user page guideline, [[w:WP:User pages]], which ''allows'' the kinds of pages currently being questioned here.) I could list some kinds of harm, and some of this was highly contentious in the past, and could become so in the future. We tend to avoid development of policy until we have a train wreck, and even then, we prefer to throw the book at whom we perceive to be the engineer, instead of developing and providing community guidance. We fear that policy will be over-rigid, and will prevent us from doing what the welfare of the wiki might require. :::I've mentioned, in a recent deletion discussion, "violation of policy" by a steward. It's been assumed that I mean "wrong." No, a violation of policy shows some sort of inconsistency, but it could just as easily be showing a deficiency in policy as in the steward. It is only that when something is not prohibited in policy, I'd suggest, a user should not be sanctioned for it, unless the harm should have been ''crystal clear,'' but might well be warned, and sanctioned if the user goes ahead and insists in spite of warning, and absent discussion. Even when a thing is prohibited by policy, we will generally warn, so warning instead of sanction is even more appropriate if there is no policy violation by the user. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 16:46, 19 April 2014 (UTC) ::::Above it states 'pages in user space are not to be deleted', so that is the current proposal. If that's not what you are proposing, please propose something else. ::::I'm not yet convinced policy needs to change here on behalf of saving user pages. We might clarify that user pages are specific to learning about or for a given user, and that may involve unstated learning objectives. And as you point out, that learning may be the act of creation rather than the content itself. But user pages still need to support learning. ::::Separately, it seems to me that you are mixing issues. There is nothing about the current RFD that can be solved by changing deletion policy in favor of saving user pages, because the page in question already does not violate local policy. The problem with the page is the scope of combined edits in relation to the overall Wikimedia project, and the perceived benefit to the entire project as a whole. When a user's edits impact a significant number of wikis (and whatever percentage is chosen to be significant, it is way less than 557), the edits must be taken as a whole rather than evaluated on individual merits. The page in question should be deleted simply because of the combined impact on the overall project. However, the user would be welcome to come back and recreate the exact same page here alone, once the user indicates they understand the implications of their actions. But because the user is globally locked, this is a debate for meta, not a debate for Wikiversity. ::::I think we should clarify policy in that pages may be speedy deleted (any pages, user, main, or other) if the creation of those pages resulted in a global lock or block of the user. This would move the debate for the user to meta, where it belongs. This would also allow us to support global sysops, stewards, etc. It does not prevent the user from going to meta to state their case, and does not prevent any user, such as yourself, from following up at meta on the user's behalf. If the appeals are successful, the user may request undeletion under normal procedures. -- [[User:Dave Braunschweig|Dave Braunschweig]] ([[User talk:Dave Braunschweig|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dave Braunschweig|contribs]]) 18:07, 19 April 2014 (UTC) ::::Dave, I'm surprised.

Another exception would obviously be user request. ::::You are presenting this as a change in policy. It's not. We don't have a policy, Dave. We have a proposed policy, and we have actual practice for years. The actual practice has been ''for the most part'' what is now proposed for the proposed policy. ::::As to the rest, I can hardly express how disappointed I am. So I'm going to stop. I will maintain work on certain specific resources of interest to me, but I'm now convinced that Wikiversity is not into positive stability as to safety.

That was not prohibited by policy. Our own practice here would have allowed the page, and many local administrators removed, without fuss, the speedy deletion tag. Many more would have done so, I suspect, had more pages been tagged instead of simply being deleted by the global sysop or stewards. Most of those fewer pages locally deleted simply repeated the deletion tag, i.e, "cross-wiki spambot, see CA." The decision to delete those pages, instead of simply leaving them and watching the user, to ascertain intention, created a great deal of work, all done without discussion and on-wiki consensus (it is obvious the antispammers communicate off-wiki). The antispammers complain about how much work it is, yet, in a few cases, they ''create the work.'' Setting up a title blacklist to stop the page creations took very little work for Vituzzu. Globally locking that account was trivial, and reasonable given how it was appearing to him. However, beyond that, it was all unnecessary and very much outside what stewards ordinarily do. :::A belief that "promotion" is evil and ''must be punished'' easily arises among antispammers, I've seen this for years. The protective function (necessary!) is lost in favor of a punitive model, as if punishing one "spammer" will deter others who don't know about the one punished. If we left those pages untouched, why, spammers would pour into to take advantage of the "loophole!" We would be overrun with spam! Yet, in fact, only the naivete of Augusto De Luca caused the reaction. A true SEO "paid editor" of any skill would never have done this. "Paid editing" is a huge problem for the Wikipedias, and this hysteria is a distraction from addressing it. The truly problematic paid editing would never advertise itself as Augusto did himself. Sitting with the data for two weeks, my conclusion is that his intention was to open up communication, cross-wiki. He didn't know how to do that, in fact; had he known, he would have set up email notification on his home wiki, it.wikipedia. Nobody advised him, so far. And he can't fix it because of the global lock. I know how to advise him, given my experience with "globally banned users," and will eventually be able to reach him, I'm pretty sure of that, as long as his health permits. For someone supposedly "promoting" his work for profit, he's not easy to reach! {{collapse bottom}} :::We need a user page policy, to guide users, custodians, and those who might think of deleting user pages.

It is not controversial that a user may create a "legitimate educational resource" in their user space. "Target audience" is a red herring. Yes, if the only intended reader or user is the author, user space is appropriate. Then, who judges if the user's purpose is educational or not? I'm suggesting that, ''absent harm,'' the user himself or herself is the judge. It's their user space they are cluttering up, if they are, with useless pages. If someone abuses the proposed freedom, we can address that. (It's important to realize that this ''is'' our actual condition, we do not routinely interfere in user space.) ::*We have not proposed a policy that says "user pages will be kept." Rather, the proposed policy says that "absent harm," they will ''routinely'' be kept. We tend to have these discussions in the abstract, without any actual cases. Common law is built from cases, but our discussions tend to focus on abstractions and people may have entirely different cases in mind, it's a formula for continued disagreement. ::*So, case in point. A user was creating pages, here and cross-wiki, considered "vandalism," because they appeared to be nonsense. The user did this here. I recognized that this "nonsense" was what would be normal for a very young user. And I mean ''very young.'' So, instead of deleting these pages -- I was a custodian at the time -- I moved them to his user space, and encouraged him to work on them, whatever he wanted (as long as it wasn't harmful). I was following what I have proposed as policy. Scribbles, effectively, on a page, fantasy, all that, ''were teaching him how to write and how to use wikitext,'' and he learned, also, how to avoid being disruptive -- i.e., to create new pages, not appropriate as Wikiversity learning resources in mainspace -- in his user space. It worked. He learned by doing. He stopped the cross-wiki vandalism. The approach being followed elsewhere was training him to reboot his modem. I have no doubt that he would have figured out "open proxies" soon enough. My suspicion is that a fair amount of cross-wiki vandalism is simply very young users. Treating them as the enemy trains them to be enemies. ::*Very easily, it could have been said -- I think it ''was'' said -- "no educational objectives." Yet in school, an essay on what he did over the summer, or a fantasy about this or that, would be allowed as learning about how to write.

Should we delete them? :::::Again, we are seeing discussion in the abstract, which then attempts to cover all situations, while missing our actual experience. There is only one global ban. When it was discussed, the issue of the independence of the wikis was raised but never clearly addressed. At that time, a 'crat could delink the account to undo the local effect of a global lock. I think that is no longer possible. We also allowed local socks in the presence of a global lock. What the proposal appears to say is that if a steward, who may be acting outside of policy, locks an account, we should start deleting pages here. :::::As to the question asked, we routinely delete spam. We do not routinely ban someone accused of "spam." We look at behavior here. In the case currently under discussion, the designation of the created pages as "spam" is highly questionable. If someone registers and creates a user page here, with content we would normally accept, do we check to see if they have registered somewhere else? If we see that they have created the same user page in other places, do we therefore delete the page? Now, that "same user page" is often created cross-wiki and there is even a bot that does it. It is most commonly done for global sysops and stewards, but other cross-wiki contributors do it. Basically, this is all irrelevant here, or should be. :::::Lock policy describes what can be locked. Augusto De Luca was locked as a "spam only account," not merely "spam." The next four locks in this sequence had the same description. After a number of users pointed out that the pages created were not "spam," the steward then locked another account, GIUNCO, for "cross-wiki promo." "Promo" is a content judgment. There are more accounts that he hasn't touched yet. "Promotion" may be true, in the same way that a fan promotes their favorite topic. Or a user points out their qualifications, on their user page. :::::Locking accounts that are actually spam-only makes sense. A spammer has little invested in the account. It really doesn't harm them. It just stops that account from editing. Real spammers expect these accounts to be blocked, and a global lock just saves locak wikis the trouble. :::::But in this case, as an example, the locked users had uploaded photos to Commons, and as soon as these accounts were locked, deletion discussions began. The first batch of 42 photos were images of the photographer himself, sometimes photographed in the act of photographing someone notable, such as Carla Fracci. That batch was quickly closed as kept. ("Promotion" is not a reason for deletion on Commons.") Then a photo widely used in Wikipedia articles of the photographer, a piece of art in its own right, was nominated for deletion, based on a technicality. I expect more of these. In that next nomination, there were questions that could easily be resolved by the uploader. But the uploader is thenow-globally-locked GIUNCO. Commons is one of the few sites that directly blocked Augusto, and immediately, and without warning or discussion. Thus a possible communication channel with Augusto, as well, was cut off. And then, of course, the deletions and blocks and locks are justified by "no intention to participate." :::::My suspicion is that Augusto saw what had been done, that his account was locked, and most of the user pages deleted, after spending three days creating those accounts and pages, and basically said, "forget them." He likely has no idea that the action is not "official," but was the ad-hoc decision of a steward (based on a decision of "spam") I have asked the steward to unlock the accounts.[https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Vituzzu&oldid=8227000#Request_you_unlock_global_accounts_you_locked.] So far, no reply, but he has no edits in the last 8 days. :::::Wikiversity, I hoped, would be a place where these dramas don't bite.

How much effort should be put into "cleaning this up"? More accurately, into ''hiding'' the pages, since they are not actually deleted, no disk space is saved. If a user requests they be hidden, fine. If they are positively harmful, fine. But are truly useless -- and harmless -- pages worth continual effort to examine and delete them? :::::::Semiprotection should be utterly noncontroversial and we might even develop a policy that abandoned pages are routinely semiprotected.

Clearly, it can always be argued that a contributor's creation meets his own educational goals. So we would only want this to be applied to pages that are long abandoned, or where the primary contributor is otherwise unable to contribute. The legalistic side of my would like to say something like "Resource that cannot reasonably further Wikiversity's educational objectives without the primary contributors, if the contributors are unable or unwilling to continue to contribute to the resources." [[User:Thenub314|Thenub314]] ([[User talk:Thenub314|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Thenub314|contribs]]) 16:07, 20 April 2014 (UTC) :::::I agree with Thenub314, except for one thing, the practicality of reviewing created resources. If leaving the resources in place causes no harm, we create burden on the community and sysops by legitimating deletion, when it is possible that the original user will return or that someone else will adopt the resource. Deletion is not transparent to the community, and (rare) administrative abuse may escapes attention for a long time because of this. If a resource standing unmaintained is a problem, i.e., spam and vandalism-magnet, then it can be protected or blanked and protected, if the content is itself problematic. The decision to protect a page is trivial and transparent, it can usually be done without worry, since it is so easily undone; anyone may request unprotection. Semiprotection will often be enough. :::::Thenub, what we have been focusing on is ''organization'' of content. I want to emphasize that this is a task that can be assisted by any user, for non-deletion options. When we depend on custodians for organization (by having them delete "useless content," which is not a fact but a judgment), we lose the potential of broad participation. [[w:WP:PWD]] was a minority position on Wikipedia, rejected because, I suspect, encyclopedias don't have lots of blank pages. However, university libraries have lots of works that are archived and accessible to those who might need them, often with no fuss. Those works may not be on display, as such, but a simple request to see them will suffice, and that request, here, might be a look at page history. Deletion, under this concept, is reserved for harmful content. (Blatant copyvio, the kind that if done intentionally, to evade copyright and thus damage the copyright holder, not mere negligence in a nonprofit activity, and which can result in prosecution or liability, is harmful, and so are privacy and child protection policy violations. Often revision deletion will handle these, the entire page need not be deleted. And we need policy to cover revision deletion; there are obvious standards that the community accepts, but they are not codified so that new and possibly inexperienced custodians can understand them. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 16:59, 20 April 2014 (UTC) Thenub314, I think under normal circumstances, even abandoned resources can be improved by anyone other then the primary contributors.

However, while these can be deleted without harm, are we going to encourage our wikignomes to look through user pages to find test pages or other junk? Sometimes possibly useful content is in history, not on the face. There is a series of steps to be taken by a custodian before deleting a page. Anything link to it? Any history? ''It takes time.'' Useless stuff in mainspace, yes, but ... ''any user'' may move useless pages to user space, and I've done this many times, and, if nothing links to it, I may tag the redirect for speedy deletion. (The deletion summary should point to the user page, ordinarily). It is far, far simpler, if we don't delete user pages absent harm. We don't ''really'' delete them anyway, so there is no saving of disk space, all we are doing is making the pages invisible to ordinary users. Why? ::And the problem that then arises is lack of transparency, it becomes impossible for ordinary users to review what a custodian has done.

The "wasted time" argument is a complete red herring, if no one choses to clean up dusty corners that is fine, if someone does, they should have a clear idea of what is allowed to be deleted. This is not an edicte that "This must be done." It is acknowledgement this is an acceptable activity. But let's face facts, an opening paragraph of the biography of someone's mother from 2008 is not something a) that anyone else can continue or b) that further's our goals. And if you don't think we have pages that have level of utility hanging around, spend some time looking. You have made (in other posts) references to brick and morter university libraries. These libraries have regular sales where they remove things they deem useful to them. I know, I frequent them myself, so it is very poor analogy to argue for keeping these type of pages around. Finally the point of doing any of this to make it easier for users to find resources they are interested in, or if you like analogies, improving the signal-to-noise ratio.

Useless, remember? ::::Do they sell the copies of student dissertations? ''The argument made by Thenub applies to mainspace only.'' There is no actual "cleanup" of pages in any space.

If we want to use an analogy to brick and morter dorm rooms, might I remind everyone how strict the rules are for dorm rooms/offices. One may not have candles, use blue tack, hang pictuers that offend roommates. For faculty the rules are more strict, in my experience, janitors will regularly through away papers on the floor on their schedule without the promise of notification. I digress. ::::: Again, I point out that no one "must" act on a deletion template or to review another custodians actions. The wasted time critique just doesn't make sense to this enviornment. I will grant that a user pages deserve a little more lattitude, my personal user page doesn't contain much of educational value. Perhaps there is not intrinsic value to the wiki of deleting/blanking old user pages for users who have retired, left, been banned, etc. But it also does no harm, as any of these actions could be reversed if the user returns. And if it keeps an active editor happy involved and logging in on a regular basis (and hopefully preforming an odd edit here or there to other resources) then I am all for it.

Thenub, this is what really happens. I've been, for some substantial period, almost the sole maintainer of this site. Just as we need to clean up mainspace, we also need to clean up the maintenance templates like that, or the mess accumulates. I am pointing out that removing harmless material ''does do harm,'' where it takes up user and especially administrator time. ::::::That deletion category is empty at the moment. We like it that way. "Speedy" should be .... speedy. I've seen what happens when the requests accumulate. Custodians have a little time, they pick what's easy, and the rest accumulate. In fact, if it's not easy, the template should be removed. "Not easy" means "not a candidate for speedy deletion." ::::::What we want to encourage is ''cleaning up mainspace.'' That's where this site is a mess, still. To make it ''easy'' to clean up mainspace, we have developed the practice of moving marginal resources to user space. First of all, any user can do it. Secondly, deleting a redirect, when that's appropriate, is a much easier decision than deleting a resource that someone ''might'' or ''might not'' develop. I tag, for speedy deletion, redirects to user space, when doing so is not likely to cause harm. Those tags are routinely acted on, very quickly. A dorm room is going to be re-used, so eventually, it must be cleaned up. A user space is ''not going to be re-used,'' unless it is by the user. ::::::We have seen that moving resources to user space is ''usually'' not controversial. I've seen users get upset by it, but, previously, ''these resources would have gone to RFD.'' If we then repeat the process all over again, for the files sitting in user space, we have defeated the purpose of making it all so easy. ::::::Frankly, the kind of user attracted to going over the user space of other users, looking for stuff to tag for deletion, isn't the kind of user I'd choose to encourage for Wikiversity. It gets worse when the user doesn't speedy tag or prod, but goes to RFD over harmless content, which then wastes even more time. ::::::Files in user space are more like material in a professor's filing cabinet, than stuff left on the floor, but even there, in a filing cabinet, the physical analogy implies some cost to maintaining the files, i.e., the space, the cabinet, etc. In our case, there is no cost at all to simply leaving them alone. They are neatly filed, they are not in anyone's way. There is no visual clutter, unless you deliberately look. ::::::Again, these comments do not apply to ''harmful content,'' which is entirely a different matter. ::::::I should disclose that I'm sensitive on this issue. See [[w:Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Abd_user_pages]]. There were definitely useful pages there, such as "Lyrikline poets," several hundred good edits indicated, to add links to lyrikline.org, all listed, showing what had been done and what remained. I had become distracted from completing that task, but anyone could have done it. (There are now many more possible, because lyrikline keeps adding notable poets. They are ''all'' notable, being hosted on lyrikline is an independent judgment of that, by experts.) ::::::Wikipedia does have a habit of deleting "useless user pages." As a result, when I've had occasion to research history there, the necessary pages are often gone. Wikipedia hides its history, and the community gains nothing by doing so, but those who may want to hide the history gain. And these preferentially watch deletion requests. Most of the community does not, it would be overwhelmed. What did Wikipedia gain by deleting those user pages of mine? To answer that question, one would need to look at the identity and history of the nominator and many of those !voting. They gained, at least in their own minds.

If you posted a scientific paper on cold fusion to a poetry website, other posters are probably going to tag it or report it, and someday it will be deleted. I would find a poetry website counterintuitive if its terms of use focused on how and why sharing scientific papers is harmful, rather than focusing on what is appropriate to share there. User space is for sharing personal things that people want other people to view. I think at Wikiversity, what should be appropriate or acceptable to share in user space is personal educational goals and some information about themselves. People can tag or report resources in user space that they think isn't furthering Wikiversity's educational objectives. People should be able to feel safe that as long as what they post in user space meets some standard that the Wikiversity community has decided upon their contributions won't be subject to deletion. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 19:53, 21 April 2014 (UTC) : I think Darklama has summarized my feelings nicely.

I think we could use a lot more people then we have, and if anywhere in the wikimedia universe is more tolerante of quirks it is WV. As long as users are contributing positively, I say we encourage everyone. And if that means allowing a bit of freedom, so be it.

I will still proceed with what I've said I would do, and I will participate in Community Reviews, if allowed. I know that the views I'm expressing ''have been consensus on Wikiversity,'' but that all changed, as to what became centrally expressed -- and acted on -- by custodians, part of what led JWSchmidt to lose it. It may still be consensus, in reality, but those who would agree don't speak up, and they ''gave up.'' So there goes the wiki. The history is being misrepresented, but so what?

This discussion page is about the deletion guideline. I think the "no policy" argument is another misdirection. If there is a problem that needs solving I think the focus should be on a problem with a resource rather then who made the resource. If a resource is deleted which would otherwise be within Wikiversity's scope because of who made it then the action becomes punitive rather then preventative, and [[Wikiversity:Who are Wikiversity participants?|Wikiversity participants]] lose out because a good educational resource was deleted. If anything is needed at all I suggest something like, "Non-educational resources where reasonably furthering Wikiversity's education mission requires collaboration from the primary contributors." I think user accounts that are locked, blocked, or banned demonstrate a lack of ability to collaborate, but there are other reasons why a person may not be able to collaborate too, such as they have retired from the wiki. --[[User:Darklama|<span style="background:DarkSlateBlue;color:white;padding:2px;">&nbsp;dark</span>]][[User talk:Darklama|<span style="background:darkslategray;color:white;padding:2px;">lama&nbsp;</span>]] 02:21, 22 April 2014 (UTC) ::Would this then be a clarification of the first item? -- ''No educational objectives or discussion in history.

In this case, there was a page considered to be such a breach. Not as an accusation of misbehavior, by the way, but a page that could potentially cause harm. Wikiversity supports academic freedom, but freedom is not license. When research can possibly cause harm, academia handles this with standards and ethics committees. ::So the process here was that a user (me) placed a speedy deletion tag on the resource, asserting a breach or lack of compliance with ethical guidelines (which mostly don't exist, so lack of compliance is not a surprise nor is it an offense. There are only common-sense guidelines, which are obviously nonspecific.) I suggested with the deletion request or in discussion of it on my user talk, that guidelines be developed and expressed with consensus. That would then allow study of the topic, subject to the guidelines. In some cases it might disallow the topic entirely, but I would not care to predict the specifics in advance. ::The other remedy available to a user who wishes to contest such a deletion would be to remove the speedy deletion tag or to request undeletion. In this case, the page had been deleted, which indicates that a custodian agreed that the page was problematic. Because of the possibility of harm, this could be an exception to the rule that a speedy deleted page is to be undeleted upon request, in which case the issue goes to [[WV:RFD]], if the deletion tagger takes it there. Sometimes a custodian will do that, with undeletion, though I don't actually recommend that, unless the custodian is *personally* requesting deletion *and* considers temporary hosting harmless. ::In this case, hosting the page even temporarily could be harmful. If the custodian agrees, then, the page stays deleted unless another custodian undeletes. The matter may still go to RFD as an undeletion request. A copy of the page can be provided to the author on request (and perhaps to others on request if that is considered not to be likely to cause harm. Thus it might be provided to trusted Wikiversitans unlikely to abuse the information.) The page can be summarized on the RFD page with a summary not likely to cause harm. For example, a common case could be a page on how to make a bomb. The summary can state that without causing harm. It may be able to state more, but caution would be in order. Custodians, with issues like this, have revision deletion as an available tool, and deletion of revisions with harmful information is relatively routine; wherever possible, this should be explained for transparency. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 16:03, 13 October 2014 (UTC) == Copyright violation == The guideline page already suggests that alternatives to deletion be considered. "Copyrighted material" is a speedy deletion reason, but students routinely copy material for personal study. Sometimes the legality of that is questionable, but it depends on complex details. However, we need to understand that "legality" almost never is a real issue with material on Wikiversity. That is, the owner of the site, the Wikimedia Foundation, is not obligated to make sure that all material is free or properly licensed, in the absence of a DCMA take-down notice, primarily because it is nonprofit. However, it seeks to ensure "free," not as a legal requirement, but so that all material may be freely re-used. And then exceptions are allowed under Fair Use, and the WMF wants those tagged as such, so that a commercial re-user is on notice that the material might not be usable by them (especially because of the CC-by-NC licenses out there). When material is blanked, it remains in history, and I have never seen copyvio as a reason for revision deletion. I looked at Wikipedia policy on speedy deletion. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#G12._Unambiguous_copyright_infringement Unambiguous copyright infringement] covers this. As I read this, if it is possible to make the page non-infringing as currently displayed, there is no need to delete it. A page which is "unabiguously" copyright infringing, is what is deleted. There has been a specific case recently. A Template was copied from Wikipedia without proper attribution. That is, the content was a technical license violation, because the general Wikipedia license requires attribution. However, once one knows that the page is copied from a CC site, the violation is fixed by a link to the original. However, a custodian deleted the page, and, after a repeated violation, blocked the user indef. After writing this, I did some more research on Wikipedia, and found on [[w:Wikipedia:Copyright problems]], that revision deletion is being used now.. Users may "clean a page" and then request revision deletion with a template.[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joyce_Lambert&diff=659872647&oldid=659866143]. Looking at the history of that page, I see a problem. Attribution of edits has been lost, it seems. They are robbing Peter to pay Paul. This will occur with the revision deletion tool as it exists. It's quite a mess, for copyvios that are not caught quickly and the page continues to be edited. Deletion requires custodian action, and apparently the custodian felt obligated to act. Blanking and tagging can be done by any user. In this case, the user was not communicative, the user probably has difficulty with English, and the custodian was frustrated, I suspect. Our guideline already implies that deletion is a last resort, when less drastic measures are available and not an onerous burden. Our customs require notifying a user that a page is to be deleted -- or is deleted. It is faster and easier to blank a page, and problems can then be fixed by any user. I have created [[Template:Blanked copyvio]] to allow this, and instructions on that template can become more specific. Any user may apply this solution. Deletion then takes the page out of community visibility, requiring more custodian action if the problem is to be fixed. There is an exception to the above approach, involving truly illegal content. There is a nice document on copyright and fair use at [https://www.umuc.edu/library/libhow/copyright.cfm]. Reading that brings up an issue. Students may copy materials, rather freely, under some conditions, detailed in the document, and substantial copying from a book, here, might meet those exceptions. (And the document emphasizes that it is not legal advice, and copyright law is so complex and difficult that even experts get it wrong, I've explored many cases.) However, that copying is generally for the students own use, and perhaps for presentation to a class or small group. Our situation is somewhat like publication, which then can take possible fair use into copyright infringement. However, we have the option of burying such material in history. I can imagine some strict-interpretation, precautionary principle (see Commons) user as thinking that, being in publicly accessible history, the material is still "published," but, then, finding that material is difficult, history is not indexed by search engines, not directly. Essentially, routine practice is simply to blank minor copyvio, and only if the whole page is copyvio is it to be deleted, and blanking ''is adequate.'' What, then, about links to History? Linking to egregious copyright violation is illegal, but where this can see legitimate use is where the material is not "egregious violation," i.e., what the library I linked to considers possible fair use with limited distribution. Copy an entire book or copyrighted article, egregious violation. Copy selected pieces for study purposes, not. Key would be lack of damage to the original publisher. If a sale isn't lost, there is no damage. And then one can start to understand why the law is so difficult. We need guidelines here that are easy to apply, but we also need to foster education, because our mission is broader than what is normal for the WMF, we are not just about providing "free materials," but also "free education, learning by doing." When copyright issues become complicated, one ends up with train wrecks, as a few months working on Commons showed me. The "precautionary principle" administrators ((those who most strongly insist on certainty of permission) had taken it to a gross extreme, disregarding WMF lawyer legal advice, and law review article examination, and deleting material that was, as to legal reality, free and licensed by the actual owner, based on their interpretations that would probably not stand up in court. I've looked. There has never been a test case directly on point, and the cases that exist support what I was pointing out. We don't need that. I have argued on Commons that Commons doesn't need it either. The arguments had some level of support there, and might even become policy, but ... that all takes work and time. Mostly I don't have that time, I work in bursts. Here, it is rare that deletion is actually necessary, if there is any apparent user desire to use Wikiversity for their own education or to create materials useful for others. It is also never an emergency, unless there is a take-down notice, and that is then handled by the WMF Office. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 20:31, 4 August 2015 (UTC) :Most copyright violations I've seen in the last year or so are blatant, complete copies of entire pages of copyrighted website content.

That will often give a user some time to object. At some point, a study of what is deleted would be in order. (Ad hoc impressions can be warped.) At the present time, I can't do that, because I don't have the tools.... If this is the user's first edit here, deleting it is not particularly welcoming. Properly, and for reliability as well as efficiency, we should design good templates to use so that this is all very easy, and the templates will handle boilerplate civility and helpfulness. I.e., "if you object, here is what to do." What we see is that spammers and vandals generally don't respond at all. Then there is that set of users that have communication problems. Still, we can make efforts, nobody is expected or required to be perfect. We will make mistakes, as will anyone.

A non-custodian can't see it, that's all. So this limits research to custodians, who mostly don't have time for it. The original purpose was talk pages attached to resources. That's a practice that came from Wikipedia, where I've seen, again, context being lost, ''caused by deletion,'' when deletion is not necessary, it is just "being tidy." In fact, the place is no tidier, the pages are still there in the database, they have merely been hidden, swept under the carpet, so to speak, or shoved into a closet, with the skeletons. There are Articles for Deletion discussions on Wikipedia where there is extensive reference to article talk pages, such as discussion of sources, and those, then, become unintelligible. My view, years ago, was that deletion itself was a bad idea, there was a proposal for what was called Pure Wiki Deletion, which is blanking, which leaves content accessible, but hidden in history (the PWD proposal included some tweaks to searches). Even without such special support, if one is searching for a topic, say Loony Idea, one could suppress, ignore, or look at talk pages of a deleted page. What's the harm of them not being deleted? So that we don't know what we are missing? I do know the harm of deletion, it is routine. People wrote that stuff, and it's being discarded as junk, worthless, fancruft, or the like. I might have put a lot of effort into finding sources that I documented on an article Talk page, and it's all stuffed away where I can't read it unless I bug an administrator. While "becoming an independent resource" may be more than merely unlikely," it may be impossible, there is still no harm of keeping the pages, documenting history of activity. Hence I am removing this criterion as inappropriate for Wikiversity. If there are other problems with a page, there are other speedy deletion criteria that may still apply. But "useless" isn't actually an argument for investing the labor of deletion and the cost of lost transparency. In mainspace, a resource will attract searches and Random Page, but an attached talk page doesn't do that. This was the Wikipedia speedy deletion criterion as of the data of our proposed policy creation: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion&oldid=75005509#General_criteria] :''Talk pages of pages that do not exist, unless they contain deletion discussion that isn't logged elsewhere or notes that would help in creating an article. User_talk pages are exempt from this. Subpages (including archive pages) are only deletable under this rule if the corresponding top-level page does not exist.'' Ontological point: if a page has been deleted, but had a talk page, does the page "not exist"? It is not readable by non-admins, but it exists! This is now [[w:WP:G8]], which maintains the basic ideas, but goes into more detail. The real basic speedy deletion criterion: material that, if not deleted, will ''uncontroversially'' cause ongoing harm, including wasted time of users and administrators. This is a problem that specially can apply to blanked mainspace resources, but it doesn't apply to talk pages, blanked or otherwise. '''I have removed the criterion.''' --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 21:32, 5 August 2015 (UTC) *Reverted.[https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity:Deletions&diff=1409093&oldid=1409090] So, please discuss. ::Based on current positions, I don't see any point in the two of us discussing this. You are convinced that all discussions have historical value. I am convinced otherwise. Others will need to discuss this and let us all know what the community prefers. Absent consensus for change, the guidelines should remain as they are. -- [[User:Dave Braunschweig|Dave Braunschweig]] ([[User talk:Dave Braunschweig|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dave Braunschweig|contribs]]) 23:52, 5 August 2015 (UTC) :::There are two issues here, Dave. The first, split below, is the interpretation of the present criterion, which is being misapplied, very clearly, with respect to user talk pages, particularly IP user talk pages. These pages are not merely discussions, they are records of user actions, showing, for example, how the user was welcomed -- or not welcomed, sometimes driven off. :::The second is the issue of other talk pages. The second is an established criterion. :::I am not convinced that "all discussions have historical value." Please don't put words in my mouth, creating a straw man position. I am convinced, however, that the assessment of value depends on the assessor, and that we cannot know this in advance, and when material is deleted without necessity, we have damaged a possibility. That damage must be balanced against the possible benefit, and I'm claiming that simply having "lost context" does not create a benefit from deletion. Context is not actually lost, it exists, it may simply be hidden, requiring additional steps to recover. If we can't see the clue, how would we know to ask for more? :::What I have just discovered through research is that what I thought was our speedy deletion practice is not our actual practice. Deletion is a dangerous tool, and we place restraints on it for strong reasons. Speedy deletion should require very clear conditions, based in consensus and unlikely to be controversial, not marginal or speculative or just one user's opinion, even if the user is a custodian. :::I.e., we trust custodians to apply ''clear criteria,'' and to avoid marginal cases without discussion or opportunity to oppose. I've seen a lot of great restraint, in using Proposed deletion for example, where value was doubtful. And then I just found a huge pile of exceptions. The deletion of IP talk pages is one. There are others. Now, as to "current positions," this is the place to first start ''community discussion.'' So if you have nothing more to add, please add nothing more. That is, if you don't want to participate in the discussion, it certainly is not obligatory. Your revert was well within expectation and propriety, it does not need to be justified. However, it has also been fairly common practice to edit our guidelines and even our policies, without first having consensus, in spite of what the boilerplate says. If nobody objects, well, nobody objects. If someone does, then it's discussed. [[w:WP:BRD]] --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 00:52, 6 August 2015 (UTC) ===IP or other user talk pages=== These are being speedy deleted. This was never an intended speedy deletion criterion, this was a misreading, see above. See also [https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Dave_Braunschweig&oldid=1409160#I_see_that_you_are_speedy-deleting_IP_talk_pages.], where it is argued that "They dissuade casual anonymous users from participating. Removing them adds value." While that is a possible effect, that is not a reason to speedy delete, it is a reason to blank stale discussions, perhaps, and that, being so much less disruptive and easily reversible, can be done by bot. Wikipedia has templates for shared IP, but we don't need that complexity. We can create a standard IP user template to place on any so-blanked page. This will produce value in a number of ways; among other things, it could encourage account registration. Deletion isn't necessary, and removes transparency. I notice this because I commonly research wiki history. Similarly, I also, on occasion, handle cross-wiki vandalism, and IP talk page history can be of great value. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 23:45, 5 August 2015 (UTC) ===Other talk pages=== The deletion of WP article talk pages was an extension of a basic Wikipedia principle, that the entire project is about creating articles, and all other content is to support that. I think talk page deletion was a bad idea for Wikipedia, by which I mean that it creates more work than it saves, whereas simply leaving the pages alone would do no harm and could preserve valuable content, such as references, sources, and arguments; Wikipedia's current criterion actually refers to this. Here, this is far more clearly true. Most deleted pages here don't have a talk page attached. If the talk page is itself disruptive, qualifying for deletion by itself, removing the "lost context" criterion still allows speedy deletion for other reasons. Further, discussion is, in itself, part of our mission, which is radically different from Wikipedia. While I would create a stub, at least, before creating an attached talk page, there is no harm, in itself, in creating the discussion first, it would merely be less likely to be noticed. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 23:45, 5 August 2015 (UTC) == Commons Uploads == [[User:Abd]] would like to remove part of Speedy Deletions criteria item 4, specifically related to "files uploaded to [[commons:|Wikimedia commons]] with history intact and links fixed." Please discuss and provide support or opposition before changes are made. -- [[User:Dave Braunschweig|Dave Braunschweig]] ([[User talk:Dave Braunschweig|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dave Braunschweig|contribs]]) 22:45, 17 August 2015 (UTC) :Thanks. In fact, this has been discussed before, in 2014. See above [https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity_talk:Deletions&oldid=1414030#Template:NowCommons permanent link]. Arguments were given. I wrote "If there is no objection, I will remove the Commons speedy deletion reason." There was no objection to the change. What appeared was only this comment, over a month later: "Objection: "Please propose and discuss before making significant changes to ensure your revisions reflect consensus." One advocate constitutes neither discussion nor consensus." :This was not an objection to the change, but to something that had not happened: an actual change to the guideline without opportunity for discussion. The actual topic was long discussed in various locations. I did go ahead, this time, and make the change. Dave reverted and brought it here for discussion, but something about how wikis work has been missed: users make changes and if nobody objects, ''that is consensus.'' Obviously, perhaps nobody sees it, which is why such changes may be reverted back, later. If I make a unilateral change (as Dave called it), I cannot then use lack of responses to counter later arising objections based on "consensus." It seems that some idea of formal ratification of changes is being advocated here. That has not been followed in the past. Major changes have been made unilaterally, many times. This change is not "major." It does no harm. If many NowCommons files accumulate, and someone sees that as a problem, the entire set can be nominated for deletion. However, what is really happening here is that I'm objecting to the deletion of NowCommons files. As objection exists, the first-pass situation is that speedy deletion is not in order, speedy deletion requires the absence of objection, generally. :This came up today in this discussion: [https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User_talk:JWSchmidt#Copyright_notices]. In particular, Green Giant, a Commons administrator, gives, there, his experience with files copied to Commons. He details the problem I've encountered, missing license information when files are copied to Commons; but I've seen many files be deleted on Commons after years, when some potential defect in copyright is found. Perhaps it was a bystander selfie, and some Commons administrators think those are owned by the bystander, who must give permission. Others think differently, and it can be the luck of the draw. An example has been NASA images. NASA work is public domain. But what if the work was done by a contractor? Maybe it's public domain and maybe not. Researching files on Commons, I have found it's a nightmare. The process is not reliable. There is no guarantee that images on Commons are "free." So the tide may turn, and a Commons image may wash away, leaving us with a damaged resource, where if we still had the file, we could claim fair use. We would want to be notified of licensing problems, so we can handle them. :So we could undelete, and perhaps claim Fair Use. That takes far more labor, and I found that nobody was noticing the Commons delinker bot that comes around and deletes links to deleted Commons Files. Researching this is difficult when the files have been deleted, unless one is an administrator. I've been able to find files in Google cache, when I caught this quickly. :Nobody has, here, argued that the files should be deleted. It was a habit that started, as part of a push to copy files to Commons. Deleting the files does no good, it is wasted labor, and as Green Giant points out, the license information can be obscured. No disk space is saved, because deleted files are still there, merely hidden. What I don't know is what is displayed if the filename exists on both wikis. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 23:27, 17 August 2015 (UTC) ::The objection quoted is still valid. One advocate is neither discussion nor consensus.

Having written that I * {{Oppose}} uploading any of our files to Commons unless the original uploader wants it uploaded there. If it's a file that I'm using, I'll make a copy, change its name, and re-upload it here under Fair Use. I spent time from 13 July 2015 to 9 August 2015 up at Commons trying to save images of [[commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:ClydeTombaugh2.gif|Clyde Tombaugh]], the discoverer of Pluto from being deleted while images of Pluto were being reported by NASA's New Horizons at the same time in July. Fortunately, I asked an admin to look at the problem and the images were saved once proper licensing was done. Then an even clearer image was found and the duplicates could be deleted in August. Sorry, but Commons is still a nightmare. --[[User:Marshallsumter|Marshallsumter]] ([[User talk:Marshallsumter|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Marshallsumter|contribs]]) 02:04, 18 August 2015 (UTC) :::On Tombaugh, look at [[commons:Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Clyde_W._Tombaugh.jpeg this, just closed today]]. This should give some idea of how complex these things get. It's complex because of the Commons purpose, not for legal reasons. For any nonprofit activity, you can almost ignore copyright unless someone complains. (Deliberate violation, intending to harm the copyright owner, is not protected, but simple error is.) --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 18:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC) ::There are two entirely different issues here. The one I raised is deletion of files that have been uploaded. I have reviewed the history of this page, speedy deletion of files uploaded to Commons was not discussed when added to the page. I worked on this page extensively and it never stood out for me as a problem until I gained experience with what Marshall is talking about. I now see the problem as routine, common, afflicting all the wikis, including Wikipedia, which is where the practice of deleting uploads to Commons probably came from. [[User:Green Giant]], a Commons admin, has commented on this [https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:JWSchmidt&diff=1411004&oldid=1410987 here]. He does not even mention the additional factor: a file which cannot be hosted by Commons may be usable here, under fair use. Making such a claim gets more complicated when the files have been deleted. Often, the original uploader is gone. What we would want, to support WMF licensing policy, is to be notified when files hosted here are deleted from Commons. Green Giant states he is proposing that wikis where files are in use be notified of pending Commons deletion process. We would want notification, and when Commons makes a decision, we would want to know the outcome. We might then see a proposed deletion tag on the file here, unless a non-free rationale has already been asserted. There is then time to handle the process, with original upload information still available. Otherwise, this is a job for custodians, instead of being supportable by the community. I have done the job anyway, sometimes using Google cache to recover information. It's much more complicated with the page having been deleted. ::The other issue is copying to Commons. That is harmless, at worst, if we dump the speedy deletion reason. We will also dump, I predict, unclear licensing as a speedy deletion reason. Rather, this will move to proposed deletion, giving much more time to resolve issues. Speedy deletion will be reserved for blatant violation only. (Right now, the copyright template gives seven days from notice. That is not quite speedy deletion, though the deletion guideline originally suggested giving time for speedy deletions to be reviewed before deleting. We developed proposed deletion to address the problem. Speedy deletion should be reserved for truly uncontroversial deletions. The whole point is to make it easy to maintain Wikiversity. With the triple process (Speedy, Proposed, and RFD), we only do the "difficult" one if consensus is not found in the first two steps, consensus meaning lack of objection. I'm seeing that we really do need resources on wiki theory.... One might notice that, with some consistent pursuit of this concept, by me and others, over the years, [[WV:RFD]] is gathering cobwebs, most proposals there have become errors or misunderstandings, and there is very little disruption. It was not always this way. ::A corollary of the triple process is that the first two kinds of deletions are to be undone on request from any established user. When we get big enough for spurious requests to be a problem, it will be easy to handle, with a request page that requires the autoconfirmed privilege. (Others simply have to gain support from any autoconfirmed user.) ::We could not prevent copying to Commons if we wanted to. Any properly licensed material here is subject to copying *anywhere* with attribution. We just don't want it to damage our resources, which is, unfortunately, common. ::So, as a result of this discussion, I looked at [[Special:Contributions/CommonsDelinker]]. And sure enough, I found [https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Radiation_astronomy/Oranges&diff=prev&oldid=1409835]. That was hosted on Commons (not here). However, it was originally uploaded to Wikipedia, for use in an article there, by [[w:User:PlanetStar]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zeta_Scorpii&diff=420724071&oldid=403151059]. The link was added in March, 2011. Then, in November 2012, it was deleted, by a Commons user,[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=File%3AZeta+Scorpii.jpg] ''(File deleted: F8: now available on Commons under the same name (TW)).'' The file was apparently uploaded to Commons before then, and not by PlanetStar, because it was another user who was notified of the allegedly missing license information.[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fredlyfish4#File_source_is_not_properly_indicated:_File:Zeta_Scorpii.jpg] While this user is very active, it appears that the user did not respond. And, of course, the original license information would not be accessible to this user, it was as much as four years or so earlier. So deletion of the file on Wikipedia has resulted in harm to Wikipedia. The image itself is currently in Google cache. I did not find that exact version hosted anywhere else, so it may have been created by PlanetStar, working from a public domain image, probably from Australia's [[w:UK Schmidt Telescope]], so the license information was merely incomplete, perhaps. In any case, versions of that image with different color balance are all over the internet, being sold as physical photographs. I found credit to the telescope, but no specific license information. The telescope official web site has an NC license. For all we know, those selling the image obtained permission. Or didn't. In any case, a reduced-resolution version of this is usable here and on Wikipedia under Fair Use. There is a specific image at [http://cdsportal.u-strasbg.fr/#*%20zet02%20Sco], click on "Display color image," and there are many others. The actual image used in PlanetStar's upload may be recoverable from Google cache, and could be similarly tagged for non-free usage here. It would be an NC file, being derived from one, perhaps. ::Commons copyright policy and practice is incredibly complex, because copyright law is incredibly complex. We simply do not need that complexity. If a file is deleted for missing license or improper license on Commons, for our purposes, I would trust that there is a license defect, even though I know that such deletions are often incorrect, I've seen some doozies. We may then consider a non-free rationale ... or delete the file here if that cannot be justified. That is not appropriate for speedy deletion if there is any objection. We need to keep our custodians out of this mess. As can be seen, the file was hosted on Commons, an alleged repository of free media, for over four years. I've run into many of these. Commons has no reliable process for vetting licenses, it is all ad-hoc, and if nobody looks, nobody vets, and it can occur that nobody looks for a very long time. Meanwhile, how many of those who are selling the image got it from Commons? Green Giant has a [[m:NonFreeWiki]] proposal. I've suggested that this should be commons, and that a process actually vet all files on Commons, and all files not vetted would be tagged as "possibly non-free," by bot. Then, instead of deletion, other options open up: tagging as NC licensed, tagging as "probable public domain, but not verified," tagging as "in use under fair use," etc. Commons copyright expertise would then be harnessed non-desctructively. Green Giant, with much more Commons experience than I, thinks that the Commons community would never agree to this. I think they have never really been asked the right question.... --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 14:38, 18 August 2015 (UTC) ::: I don't think people should be stopped from transferring files but there is no reason that local copies could not be kept. However I'm wary of knee-jerk reactions i.e. Wikiversity keeping files by default. If a user requests a local copy be kept then there should be a better reason than just "I don't like the pitchfork-wielding policies of Commons". If a file is PD (public domain) or is licensed for reuse (without restrictions like -NC or -ND) then there is no earthly reason to prevent that file from going to Commons. Just so this is clear, a deleted file is simply hidden from public view - admins/custodians can still view most deleted files on their wiki. The only way to get a file properly deleted is for a sysadmin (a different kind of admin) to physically delete the image from the servers (this is usually only in response to DMCA takedowns). A couple of other matters need to be clarified - the file description page is on the local wiki but almost all images (including Commons) are kept at upload.wikimedia.org, so there are no actual images stored on Wikiversity, Commons or other wikis. Please also note that for every Commons file that is viewed here on Wikiversity, you can add a local description which hides the Commons description. Furthermore if a file on Wikiversity has the same name as a file on Commons (we call this shadowing), then only the "local file" will be visible on Wikiversity. ::: My experience of transferred files is that there are well-intentioned but often ill-informed people who transfer files to Commons but without checking things like the copyright status. I have had the displeasure of deleting transferred files because people won't do the leg-work needed to comply with Wikimedia Commons policies. I could just carry on doing this and be labelled a deletionist. However I've been trying to look at things from a different perspective i.e. get the files fixed before transfer and I have been shocked by the sheer numbers of files on other wikis. Right now, Wikiversity alone has thousands of files tagged as not having [[:Category:Files with no machine-readable license|machine-readable license]]. This might not concern some people but it is a significant cache of files that need attention and could be transferred by well-meaning users. This discussion has pushed forward my agenda (yes I have an agenda), which was to propose some changes at the "target end" (Commons) and at the "source end" eg Wikiversity. However the proposals are still at a draft stage so I'm only going to outline them: :::* when files are transferred from a wiki like Wikiversity and subsequently deleted here, there should be a record kept, even if it is a bot keeping weekly pages updated :::* when files are nominated for "normal deletion" at Commons, the nominator should leave a note on the talk page of every place that the file is in use on other wikis :::* the deletion requests norm at Commons should be extended from the current 7-day minimum to either 14 days or even 28 days because unless it is a blatant copyright violation, I don't see why we need to hurry these discussions (we have a permanent backlog anyway of about three weeks) :::* if a file is transferred from another wiki to Commons, and is then deleted, there should be a fast-track mechanism to allow the deleting Commons admins to request the restoration of the file at the source wiki (whether or not it is restored would be up to the local admin) :::* a local help page for transferring files or at least a local copy of the [[:w:WP:Transfer to Commons|Wikipedia help page]] :::* a Trans-Wikimedia program to improve and share knowledge of copyright issues (perhaps based at Meta-Wiki?) ::: I don't think these are insurmountable challenges but an insular approach will not help. If you are struggling with Commons, then that is a good reason to engage each other rather than retreating into our home wikis. P.S. I welcome any suggestions on how to proceed with my agenda but please let's avoid launching requests for comments here and elsewhere until we can be sure how to move forward. I'll step down from my soapbox now.

My assessment: it is insular and doesn't generally give a fig about harm to other wikis and users. Commons process is ''routinely'' uncivil, and doing anything about it is unpopular. There are some truly fine people working on Commons (we see an example here). There are also some clearly suffering from some malady, and they have buttons to enforce their POV. I requested temporary undeletion of a set of files because I needed the original license information to support a user attempting OTRS review. It was denied and the request closed, in spite of policy allowing that. Yatta yatta. Sure, I could identify a friendly administrator. I only do that as a last resort. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 18:53, 18 August 2015 (UTC) ::::Thanks for the great information, GG, about file hosting and behavior. I'm aware of the untagged problem, and have worked on it from time to time. We need more help with that. However, there is another problem that you have not mentioned. Files are transferred to commons with some licensing claim. The uploader will then commonly tag them with [[Template:NowCommons]]. That has been treated as a speedy deletion reason. We may assume that most files transferred to Commons have some prima facie claim to being public domain or licensed for free use. But, later, some defect is asserted. And the user is gone, very often. Often the uploader is also gone. We have content using the file. Your proposal would allow us to be notified, perhaps, though we have much content that is on nobody's watchlist. If Commons deletes the file, let's assume there really is a licensing defect (sometimes there is not). We have lost content, and only a custodian here can recover it. Usually our custodians don't even notice. I only see these when I look at [[Special:Contributions/CommonsDelinker]]. And it can be a lot of work to fix the problem. ::::If we routinely don't delete based on NowCommons, there is no problem that I can see. All we are actually keeping or deleting here is the file description, including file history and licensing information. ::::The biggest problem with what you wrote is that even if a file has a claim of "public domain," it may still be deleted. I think you just Kept a file that had such a claim (the Tombaugh photo discussion linked above). In fact, it appears to have been copyrighted and copyright not renewed, so still public domain, but for a different reason. Easily, if nobody had done the research on that, it could have gone the other way. '''I am seeing zero benefit from deletion, yet obvious and not uncommon harm.''' Notice: if the file is not deleted here, you won't need to make that "fast track" request for undeletion. It's already readable. As well, if the page is deleted on Commons, and there is a valid copyright concern, you can then tag the file here, according to our process. You can reference the Commons deletion discussion, so this could be very quick. (And it could be automated) And then we will handle it. ::::If the file is actually illegal and a fair use argument not possible, it should be deleted wherever it is. Whether it is on Commons or not is irrelevant! ::::By the way, that is a great set of proposals for Commons practice. Good luck. I can imagine opposition there.

The proposal is not controversial. Thanks. What is controversial, now, is the process. Policy pages have ''routinely'' been edited when there was no controversy, so a requirement that this be widely discussed is ''new'' and, in fact, contrary to standard process. Wider discussion is only needed for controversial changes (and this change has already been mentioned on the Colloquium). So I will take ''this issue'' to the Colloquium. Because this is about fundamental Wikiversity organizational process, it really should have a Community Review. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 02:43, 2 September 2015 (UTC) :::'''Issue of change process raised at [[Colloquium#Wikiversity policy/guideline change process]]. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 17:46, 2 September 2015 (UTC)''' == Speedy deletion process == There are various traditions and procedures that have been followed at various times here. We should understand that deletion is a relatively drastic measure, unless it isn't! Most of us want to clean up Wikiversity, but this can be done in a number of ways, including organizing content. A stub, for example, is harmless if organized in a certain way, and will waste user time if organized a different way; our generally tendency has been to delete stubs or content that does not seem useful. However, for the cleanup of Wikiversity to proceed, it must be ''easy.'' The following is a description of a procedure that is, in some ways, what I thought we already had, but some may disagree with that. The goal of this is to clarify a process that is efficient, that avoids unnecessary controversy, yet that allows cleanup and that can be managed ''by the community,'' with custodian activity (as custodians) being limited to what is easy, with the only difficulty (requiring serious care) being closing discussions on [[WV:RFD]]. (Custodians are only needed for Delete closes, any experienced user, respecting consensus, may close discussions with some other result.) --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 03:23, 6 September 2015 (UTC) '''This is broken into subsections on individual aspects of the process to allow discussion of each.''' --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 05:20, 14 September 2015 (UTC) ===Ad hoc deletion=== This is deletion by a custodian with no request. It is based on the sole judgment of the custodian. This may be clearly based on the deletion guideline, or may be done for some other reason. I suggest that this kind of deletion be ''ordinarily limited'' to clear vandalism, obvious spam, or non-remediable copyright violation, where damage is immediate, so immediate response is necessary. This is covered in the present guideline as a speedy deletion, but I'm distinguishing it. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 03:23, 6 September 2015 (UTC) ===Speedy deletion=== This is deletion as an custodial response to a deletion tag ([[Template:Delete]]) placed by another. The tag will ordinarily give the reason, and by deleting, the custodian is agreeing with that. If a custodian thinks a page should be deleted, as a speedy deletion, the custodian should place a tag like any other user.. Wikiversity has established prompt response to tags, custodians have been doing a great job. What this procedure does is to set up quick review, where at least two users think a page should be deleted, ''and there is no opposition.'' Any user may remove a speedy deletion tag, if they see it before the page is deleted! --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 03:23, 6 September 2015 (UTC) ===Review of deletion=== Any user may request a speedy or ad hoc deletion be undeleted, just as they may remove a speedy deletion tag, and this will not ordinarily require a "reason." So far, in this process, no debate is necessary. We do not want to have a debate over every piece of garbage thrown in the trash, but if someone thinks the page is not garbage, or just wants to see it, it is quick work to undelete, much less work than ''discussing'' it. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 03:23, 6 September 2015 (UTC) If a user wants a page deleted, and the custodian does not want to undelete it, this is a content dispute, and custodians, in theory, should have no advantage in content disputes. Because no custodian is required to do anything (ever), the standard procedure has been to request undeletion by the deleting custodian, and, if not satisfied with the response, to request undeletion on [[WV:Requests for Deletion]]. There has been opposition expressed to the individual custodian request, as if a request for undeletion was some kind of accusation of impropriety, which it is not, in itself. So we may simplify this with a tag that would be placed as a new page creation, with the deleted page name, requesting undeletion of the underlying page. (That tag will then stand as the latest edit, when the page is undeleted, until the page is edited.) --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 14:18, 12 September 2015 (UTC)<small> edited [[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 05:17, 14 September 2015 (UTC)</small> ===Proposed deletion=== This is a process for what was originally called "slow deletion." It starts a clock, allowing three months for improvement or objection to deletion to appear. Very often, nobody cares about a resource, and it will then be deleted when the proposed deletion period expires. I am suggesting, on [[Template talk:Proposed deletion]] that prod date be categorized by month, ''not be a speedy deletion reason,'' but allow any user to confirm deletion by placing a regular deletion tag. Key to understanding this is that anyone may remove a proposed deletion tag, and, again, discussion is not necessary for that. So far, this should not be a contentious process. If anyone wants to keep the page, they may. ''Where it is kept'' is another matter. The page might be moved, to user space, for example. Proposed deletion, after a page is deleted, is subject to the same review as ad hoc or speedy deletion. The present guideline says, about proposed deletions, :''A custodian may examine the resource after 90 days, and either delete the resource or remove the proposal. Anyone may object by removing the proposed deletion template from the resource, with or without an explanation on the resource's discussion page. Anyone still considering that the resource should be deleted may discuss deletion.'' The immediate thought I had with this is that it shoves off responsibility for review of proposed deletions on custodians. That's not necessary. However, many proposed deletions were piling up in the [[:Category:Proposed deletions]] and there was no prioritization, i.e., no easy way to see which proposals might be ready to expired. At the end of 90 days, the page was placed in [[:Category:Pending deletions]], but these files were then subject to immediate deletion at the discretion of a custodian. I have modified [[Template:Proposed deletion]] to generate a new [[:Category:60-day proposed deletions]], which shows proposed deletions that are 60 days old. These deletions (like any proposed deletion) are subject to review by the community, any user may handle this, assuming that it is handled in reasonable expectation of consensus, should the matter come up. This, then, displayed for me the oldest prods. There are many ways to handle these, and a user may choose between them. *The prod was overconservative, perhaps, or under the conditions (user not active anywhere, for example, and no significant loss if the page is deleted), 60 days was enough. So it may be tagged for speedy deletion, removing the prod. *The page may be moved to an appropriate location where it need not be deleted. Common: a move to the user space of a registered user who created it or who was active on it. *The page has a useful function as-is, so the prod may be removed. *The page may be improved, so the user improves it. If the user wants more time for that, the user may ''renew the prod.'' Please don't simply remove a prod based on "I -- or ''somebody''-- may improve this someday." In that case, you could renew the prod (you could even postdate it so that the prod takes longer to expire), or you could move the page to your user space. Pages on Wikiversity with no useful content cause harm when users arrive from a search and find nothing of value. User pages? Not a problem. *For pages created by IP users, the page may be moved to a [[Wikiversity:Playspace]]. This is particularly appropriate for pages likely created by children, but "Playspace" is not just for children. It is a monitored space where harm will be avoided and user experimentation ("play") is not quickly deleted. I cleaned up the 60 day category in about an hour. As with any user's work, my work is subject to review. "Speedy deletion" is ''minimally discussed deletion,'' "discussed" only through tagging or untagging with edit summaries. If a discussion is needed, the normal place is [[WV:RFD]]. However, if a user shows repeated behavior that another user considers a problem, that discussion should normally start on the user's talk page. Many hands make short work. We are now being very efficient in cleaning up the custodian requests that display at [[WV:RCA]]. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 14:15, 12 September 2015 (UTC) ===Discussed deletion=== It is remarkable how rare this has become, even while cleanup proceeds. If someone believes that a page is ''harmful,'' and other options are not available or have been opposed, then we have a discussed deletion process. The default is Keep, and only if there is consensus for deletion, particularly if rooted in argument and site welfare, will the page be deleted. These discussions take up user time and have often caused dissatisfaction with Wikiversity. Thus they are to be avoided if possible. Nevertheless, if someone, without good cause, stops the non-contested deletion process, the remedy is [[WV:Requests for Deletion]], ''discussed deletion.'' Up to that point, there need be no wasted custodian time. ''Dispute over deletion or undeletion'' is what wastes time. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Abd|contribs]]) 03:23, 6 September 2015 (UTC) klnhwh126szy80x0c1lpsksu6r5fb70 Wikiversity:ATD 4 299243 2810096 2553856 2026-05-18T10:55:26Z Jtneill 10242 Update link 2810096 wikitext text/x-wiki #REDIRECT [[Wikiversity:Deletion policy#Alternatives_to_deletion]] 3evl5jlytfsah53vkg4v51af69vy7k8 User:Szxzip 2 317054 2810049 2690701 2026-05-18T07:35:10Z Szxzip 2994692 2810049 wikitext text/x-wiki == Szxzip == === Motto === Time Forward 96bpjtl1mrll52zk8asem5wxb2p43bz User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell 2 326765 2809943 2809834 2026-05-17T17:21:45Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* The 8-point regular polytopes */ Clifford polygon 2809943 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Therefore even though it is translucent, only its outer surface is visible. The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all. |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:Ortho solid 016-uniform polychoron p33-t0.png|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point [[W:Great grand stellated 120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] <small><math>\{\tfrac{5}{2},3,3\}</math></small>.{{Sfn|Ruen: Great grand stellated 120-cell|2007}} The 120-cell is its convex hull. The projection to the left renders only the 120-cell's shortest chord, its 1200 edges. The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered. |} [[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular 4-polytopes, including the 120-cell, are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix {8/3} octagram as the 16-cell's ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular octagon, but the tesseract contains 2 disjoint instances and 4 distinct instances of the skew octagon. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we start with our original octagon of unit-edge length, rather than the octagon of edge length <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> that we needed to build the unit-radius 16-cell. For our tesseract construction we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided the planes were completely orthogonal in 4-space and we skewed them both the same way, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half of its 32 edges missing. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two regular 4-point tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, which are also the edges of the square central planes. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common and their corresponding vertices 180° apart. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation with their corresponding vertices 90° apart, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helixes of the same chirality, which are Clifford parallel objects that form a circular double helix. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedral central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope isoclinically. The complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like the square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} kds5ao6jh6q1zkxj8v0c6iquqppgbsx 2809944 2809943 2026-05-17T17:58:40Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* The 8-point regular polytopes */ 2809944 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Therefore even though it is translucent, only its outer surface is visible. The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all. |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:Ortho solid 016-uniform polychoron p33-t0.png|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point [[W:Great grand stellated 120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] <small><math>\{\tfrac{5}{2},3,3\}</math></small>.{{Sfn|Ruen: Great grand stellated 120-cell|2007}} The 120-cell is its convex hull. The projection to the left renders only the 120-cell's shortest chord, its 1200 edges. The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered. |} [[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular octagon, but the tesseract contains 2 disjoint instances and 4 distinct instances of the skew octagon. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we start with our original octagon of unit-edge length, rather than the octagon of edge length <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> that we needed to build the unit-radius 16-cell. For our tesseract construction we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided the planes were completely orthogonal in 4-space and we skewed them both the same way, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half of its 32 edges missing. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two regular 4-point tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, which are also the edges of the square central planes. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common and their corresponding vertices 180° apart. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation with their corresponding vertices 90° apart, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helixes of the same chirality, which are Clifford parallel objects that form a circular double helix. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedral central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope isoclinically. The complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like the square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} skiw4lyn9xdq43a24c04w4f35q0v5xp 2809945 2809944 2026-05-17T18:07:28Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* Hypercubes */ 2809945 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Therefore even though it is translucent, only its outer surface is visible. The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all. |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:Ortho solid 016-uniform polychoron p33-t0.png|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point [[W:Great grand stellated 120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] <small><math>\{\tfrac{5}{2},3,3\}</math></small>.{{Sfn|Ruen: Great grand stellated 120-cell|2007}} The 120-cell is its convex hull. The projection to the left renders only the 120-cell's shortest chord, its 1200 edges. The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered. |} [[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic isocline, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular octagon, but the tesseract contains 2 disjoint instances and 4 distinct instances of the skew octagon. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we start with our original octagon of unit-edge length, rather than the octagon of edge length <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> that we needed to build the unit-radius 16-cell. For our tesseract construction we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided the planes were completely orthogonal in 4-space and we skewed them both the same way, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half of its 32 edges missing. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two regular 4-point tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, which are also the edges of the square central planes. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common and their corresponding vertices 180° apart. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation with their corresponding vertices 90° apart, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helixes of the same chirality, which are Clifford parallel objects that form a circular double helix. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedral central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope isoclinically. The complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like the square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} mgtea6uwh0kyaxeptahxhr8rm7utga2 2809946 2809945 2026-05-17T19:55:16Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* Hypercubes */ 2809946 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Therefore even though it is translucent, only its outer surface is visible. The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all. |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:Ortho solid 016-uniform polychoron p33-t0.png|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point [[W:Great grand stellated 120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] <small><math>\{\tfrac{5}{2},3,3\}</math></small>.{{Sfn|Ruen: Great grand stellated 120-cell|2007}} The 120-cell is its convex hull. The projection to the left renders only the 120-cell's shortest chord, its 1200 edges. The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered. |} [[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic isocline, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two regular 4-point tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, which are also the edges of the square central planes. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helix isoclines of the same chirality, which are [[w:Clifford_parallel|Clifford parallel]] objects that form a circular double helix. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons which share the 16 vertices pairwise but have disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. We then skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided we skewed them both the same way, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common and their corresponding vertices 180° apart. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation with their corresponding vertices 90° apart, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedral central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope isoclinically. The complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like the square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} thowxqk7jakkhmhhwsbn09h8a4eual0 2809947 2809946 2026-05-17T20:00:28Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* Hypercubes */ 2809947 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Therefore even though it is translucent, only its outer surface is visible. The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all. |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:Ortho solid 016-uniform polychoron p33-t0.png|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point [[W:Great grand stellated 120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] <small><math>\{\tfrac{5}{2},3,3\}</math></small>.{{Sfn|Ruen: Great grand stellated 120-cell|2007}} The 120-cell is its convex hull. The projection to the left renders only the 120-cell's shortest chord, its 1200 edges. The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered. |} [[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic isocline, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two regular 4-point tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helix isoclines of the same chirality, which are [[w:Clifford_parallel|Clifford parallel]] objects that form a circular double helix. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons which share the 16 vertices pairwise but have disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. We then skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided we skewed them both the same way, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common and their corresponding vertices 180° apart. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation with their corresponding vertices 90° apart, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedral central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope isoclinically. The complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like the square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} tfta47st66luq8zlwyjxpu58u587dpk 2809948 2809947 2026-05-17T20:25:12Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* Hypercubes */ 2809948 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Therefore even though it is translucent, only its outer surface is visible. The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all. |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:Ortho solid 016-uniform polychoron p33-t0.png|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point [[W:Great grand stellated 120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] <small><math>\{\tfrac{5}{2},3,3\}</math></small>.{{Sfn|Ruen: Great grand stellated 120-cell|2007}} The 120-cell is its convex hull. The projection to the left renders only the 120-cell's shortest chord, its 1200 edges. The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered. |} [[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic isocline, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cubic cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helix isoclines of the same chirality, which are [[w:Clifford_parallel|Clifford parallel]] objects that form a circular double helix. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons which share its 16 vertices pairwise but have disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided we skewed them both in the same rotational direction, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedral central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope isoclinically. The complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like the square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} kgfpibqgtsxbszpokkeslpjtpl0tyxg 2809949 2809948 2026-05-17T20:31:55Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* The 24-cell */ 2809949 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Therefore even though it is translucent, only its outer surface is visible. The complex interior parts of the 120-cell, all its inscribed 5-cells, 16-cells, 8-cells, 24-cells, 600-cells and its much larger inventory of polyhedra, are completely invisible in this view, as none of their edges are rendered at all. |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:Ortho solid 016-uniform polychoron p33-t0.png|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point [[W:Great grand stellated 120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] <small><math>\{\tfrac{5}{2},3,3\}</math></small>.{{Sfn|Ruen: Great grand stellated 120-cell|2007}} The 120-cell is its convex hull. The projection to the left renders only the 120-cell's shortest chord, its 1200 edges. The projection above also renders only one of the 120-cell's 30 chords, the edges of its 120 inscribed regular 5-cells. The 120-cell itself (the convex hull) is invisible in this view, as its edges are not rendered. |} [[120-cell#Geometry|The 120-cell is the maximally complex regular 4-polytope]], containing inscribed instances of every regular 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-polytope, except the regular polygons of more than {15} sides. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn.

Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic isocline, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cubic cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helix isoclines of the same chirality, which are [[w:Clifford_parallel|Clifford parallel]] objects that form a circular double helix. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons which share its 16 vertices pairwise but have disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided we skewed them both in the same rotational direction, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedral central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. The tesseract is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol {3,4,3}. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedral cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron. ... Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope isoclinically. The complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like the square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} 86dbbpnituheoyoz6xndcvr83m1o8ss 2809950 2809949 2026-05-17T20:34:18Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* The 24-cell */ 2809950 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic isocline, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helix isoclines of the same chirality, which are [[w:Clifford_parallel|Clifford parallel]] objects that form a circular double helix. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons which share its 16 vertices pairwise but have disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided we skewed them both in the same rotational direction, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol {3,4,3}. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron. ... Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope isoclinically. The complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like the square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} 9p0rmftsuuqn9ab7iwr3wpp69c67dk9 2809951 2809950 2026-05-17T20:36:51Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* The 24-cell */ 2809951 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic isocline, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helix isoclines of the same chirality, which are [[w:Clifford_parallel|Clifford parallel]] objects that form a circular double helix. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons which share its 16 vertices pairwise but have disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided we skewed them both in the same rotational direction, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol {3,4,3}. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron. ... Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope. The complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like the square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} lyvrgkyjkt27nd0euaykdrg2n7g8tiu 2809970 2809951 2026-05-17T23:03:42Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* The 24-cell */ 2809970 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic isocline, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helix isoclines of the same chirality, which are [[w:Clifford_parallel|Clifford parallel]] objects that form a circular double helix. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons which share its 16 vertices pairwise but have disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided we skewed them both in the same rotational direction, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol {3,4,3}. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron. The 24-point 24-cell is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are <small><math>\sqrt{3}=120^\circ</math></small> apart. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <small><math>\sqrt{3}</math></small> long diameters. The <small><math>\sqrt{3}</math></small> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cube long diameters. We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The three disjoint skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 24 vertices form a circular triple helix. ... We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically by 60° in two completely orthogonal invariant hexagonal central planes. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope. A complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like a square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} ofa1o57a769469mdijs1z2zzpktwfll 2809979 2809970 2026-05-17T23:51:04Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 2809979 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

The 120-cell is the convex hull of a regular [[120-cell#Relationships among interior polytopes|compound of each of the 6 regular convex 4-polytopes]]. They are the [[5-cell|5-point (5-cell) 4-simplex]], the [[16-cell|8-point (16-cell) 4-orthoplex]], the [[W:Tesseract|16-point (8-cell) tesseract]], the [[24-cell|24-point (24-cell)]], the [[600-cell|120-point (600-cell)]], and the [[120-cell|600-point (120-cell)]]. The 120-cell is the convex hull of a compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells, of 75 disjoint 16-cells, of 25 disjoint 24-cells, and of 5 disjoint 600-cells. The 120-cell contains an even larger inventory of irregular polytopes, created by the intersection of multiple instances of these component regular 4-polytopes. Many are quite unexpected, because they do not occur as components of any regular polytope smaller than the 120-cell. As just one example among the [[120-cell#Concentric hulls|sections of the 120-cell]], there is an irregular 24-point polyhedron with 16 triangle faces and 4 nonagon {9} faces.{{Sfn|Moxness|}} Most renderings of the 120-cell, like the rotating projection here, only illustrate its outer surface, which is a honeycomb of face-bonded dodecahedral cells. Only the objects in its 3-dimensional surface are rendered, namely the 120 dodecahedra, their pentagon faces, and their edges. Although the 120-cell has chords of 30 distinct lengths, in this kind of simplified rendering only the 120-cell's own edges (its shortest chord) are shown. Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic isocline, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helix isoclines of the same chirality, which are [[w:Clifford_parallel|Clifford parallel]] objects that form a circular double helix. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. Two Petrie octagons cross at each vertex. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided we skewed them both in the same rotational direction, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol {3,4,3}. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron. The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract: <math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> The 24-cell is its own [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]]. Its Petrie polygon is the skew regular dodecahedron {12}, which has chords: <math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> The 24-cell is a construct of eight Petrie dodecahedrons with disjoint sets of 12 edges each. ... The 24-point 24-cell is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are <small><math>\sqrt{3}=120^\circ</math></small> apart. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <small><math>\sqrt{3}</math></small> long diameters. The <small><math>\sqrt{3}</math></small> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cube long diameters. We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The three disjoint skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 24 vertices form a circular triple helix. We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically by 60° in two completely orthogonal invariant hexagonal central planes, which takes every hexagonal central plane to a Clifford parallel hexagonal central plane. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope. A complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like a square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} bu9uvmfulc8cpvegcbktw52i92s2n4o 2809980 2809979 2026-05-17T23:55:03Z Dc.samizdat 2856930 /* The 24-cell */ 2809980 wikitext text/x-wiki {{align|center|David Brooks Christie}} {{align|center|dc@samizdat.org}} {{align|center|Draft in progress}} {{align|center|January 2026 - April 2026}} <blockquote>Steinbach discovered the formula for the ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. Fontaine and Hurley extended this result, discovering a formula for the reciprocal of a regular polygon chord derived geometrically from the chord's star polygon. We observe that these findings in plane geometry apply more generally, to polytopes of any dimensionality. Fontaine and Hurley's geometric procedure for finding the reciprocals of the chords of a regular polygon from their star polygons also finds the rotational geodesics of any polytope of any dimensionality.</blockquote> == Introduction == Steinbach discovered the Diagonal Product Formula and the Golden Fields family of ratios of diagonal to side in the regular polygons. He showed how this family extends beyond the pentagon {5} with its well-known golden bisection proportional to 𝜙, finding that the heptagon {7} has an analogous trisection, the nonagon {9} has an analogous quadrasection, and the hendecagon {11} has an analogous pentasection, an extended family of golden proportions with quasiperiodic properties. Kappraff and Adamson extended these findings in plane geometry to a theory of Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, showing that the Golden Fields not only do not end with the hendecagon, they form an infinite number of periodic trajectories when operated on by the Mandelbrot operator. They found a relation between the edges of star polygons and dynamical systems in the state of chaos, revealing a connection between chaos theory, number, and rotations in Coxeter Euclidean geometry. Fontaine and Hurley examined Steinbach's finding that the length of each chord of a regular polygon is both the product of two chords and the sum of a set of smaller chords, so that in rotations to add is to multiply. They illustrated Steinbach's sets of additive chords lying parallel to each other in the plane (pointing in the same direction), and by applying Steinbach's formula more generally they found another summation relation of signed parallel chords (pointing in opposite directions) which relates each chord length to its reciprocal, and relates the summation to a distinct star polygon rotation. We examine these remarkable findings (which stem from study of the chords of humble regular polygons) in higher-dimensional spaces, specifically in the chords, polygons and rotations of the [[120-cell]], the largest four-dimensional regular convex polytope. == Visualizing the 120-cell == {| class="wikitable floatright" width="400" |style="vertical-align:top"|[[File:120-cell.gif|200px]]<br>Orthographic projection of the 600-point 120-cell <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small> performing a [[W:SO(4)#Geometry of 4D rotations|simple rotation]].{{Sfn|Hise|2011|loc=File:120-cell.gif|ps=; "Created by Jason Hise with Maya and Macromedia Fireworks.

Its 29 interior chords, the edges of objects in the interior of the 120-cell, are not rendered, so interior objects are not visible at all. Visualizing the complete interior of the 600-vertex 120-cell in a single image is impractical because of its complexity. Only four 120-cell edges are incident at each vertex, but [[120-cell#Chords|600 chords (of all 30 lengths)]] are incident at ''each'' vertex. == Compounds in the 120-cell == The 8-point (16-cell), not the 5-point (5-cell), is the smallest building block; it compounds to every larger regular 4-polytope. The 5-point (5-cell) does compound to the 600-point (120-cell), but it does not fit into any smaller regular 4-polytope. The 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 2 in the 16-point (8-cell), and by 3 in the 24-point (24-cell). The 16-point (8-cell) compounds in the 24-point (24-cell) by 3 non-disjoint instances of itself, with each of the 24 vertices shared by two 16-point (8-cells). The 24-point (24-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell), and the 120-point (600-cell) compounds by 5 disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell). The 24-point (24-cell) also compounds by <math>5^2</math> non-disjoint instances of itself in the 120-point (600-cell); it compounds in 5 disjoint instances of itself, 10 (not 5) different ways. Whichever set of 5 disjoint 24-point (24-cells) are assembled, the resulting 120-point (600-cell) contains 25 distinct 24-point (24-cells), not just 5 (or 10). This implies that 15 disjoint 8-point (16-cells) will construct a 120-point (600-cell), which will contain 75 distinct 8-point (16-cells). The 600-point (120-cell) is 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), just 2 different ways (not 5 or 10 ways), so it is 10 distinct 120-point (600-cells). This implies that the 8-point (16-cell) compounds by 3 times <math>5^2</math> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains <math>3^2</math> times <math>5^2</math> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and <math>3^3</math> times <math>5^2</math> (675) distinct instances of the 8-point (16-cell). These facts were discovered painstakingly by various researchers, and no one has found a general rule governing subsumption relations among regular polytopes. The reasons for some of their numeric incidence relations are far from obvious. [[W:Pieter Hendrik Schoute|Schoute]] was the first to see that the 120-point (600-cell) is a compound of 5 24-point (24-cells) ''10 different ways'', and after he saw it a hundred years lapsed until Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne proved his result, and showed why.{{Sfn|Denney, Hooker, Johnson, Robinson, Butler & Claiborne|2020|loc=''The geometry of H4 polytopes''}} So much for the compounds of 16-cells. The 120-cell is also the convex hull of the compound of 120 disjoint regular 5-cells. That stellated compound (without its convex hull of 120-cell edges) is the [[w:Great_grand_stellated_120-cell|great grand stellated 120-cell]] illustrated above, the final regular [[W:Stellation|stellation]] of the 120-cell, and the only [[W:Schläfli-Hess polychoron|regular star 4-polytope]] to have the 120-cell for its convex hull. The edges of the great grand stellated 120-cell are <math>\phi^6</math> as long as those of its 120-cell [[W:List of polyhedral stellations#Stellation process|stellation core]] deep inside. The compound of 120 disjoint 5-point (5-cells) can be seen to be equivalent to the compound of 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells), as follows. Beginning with a single 120-point (600-cell), expand each vertex into a regular 5-cell, by adding 4 new equidistant vertices, such that the 5 vertices form a regular 5-cell inscribed in the 3-sphere. The 120 5-cells are disjoint, and the 600 vertices form 5 disjoint 120-point (600-cells): a 120-cell. == Thirty distinguished distances == The 30 numbers listed in the table are all-important in Euclidean geometry. A case can be made on symmetry grounds that their squares are the 30 most important numbers between 0 and 4. The 30 rows of the table are the 30 distinct [[120-cell#Geodesic rectangles|chord lengths of the unit-radius 120-cell]], the largest regular convex 4-polytope. Since the 120-cell subsumes all smaller regular polytopes, its 30 chords are the complete chord set of all the regular polytopes that can be constructed in the first four dimensions of Euclidean space, except for regular polygons of more than 15 sides. {| class="wikitable" style="white-space:nowrap;text-align:center" !rowspan=2|<math>c_t</math> !rowspan=2|arc

regular polytopes == In 2-space we have the regular 8-point octagon, in 3-space the regular 8-point cube, and in 4-space the regular 8-point [[16-cell]]. A planar octagon with rigid edges of unit length has chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_3=1+\sqrt{2} \approx 2.41421,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.61313</math> The chord ratio <math>r_3=1+\sqrt{2}</math> is a geometrical proportion, the [[W:Silver ratio|silver ratio]]. Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that: :<math>r_3-r_1-r_1=1/r_3 \approx 0.41421</math> Note that <math>1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1=r_3-2</math>. If we embed this planar octagon in 3-space, we can make it skew, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from three others instead of two others, at the vertices of a unit-edge cube with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1, r_2=\sqrt{2}, r_3=\sqrt{3}, r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> If we embed this cube in 4-space, we can skew it some more, repositioning its vertices so that each is one unit-edge length distant from six others instead of three others, at the vertices of a unit-edge 4-polytope with chords of length: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=1,r_3=1,r_4=\sqrt{2}</math> All of its chords except its long diameters are the same unit length as its edge. In fact they are its 24 edges, and it is a 16-cell of radius <small><math>1/\sqrt{2}</math></small>. [[File:octagon16cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of a regular 16-cell to the [[16-cell#Projections|B<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only its edges are shown; its long diameter chords are not drawn. All 24 edges are the same length. Only the edges of the two disjoint squares lie parallel to the projection plane, in completely orthogonal central planes.]] The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {3,3,4}. It has 8 vertices, 24 edges, 32 equilateral triangle faces, and 16 regular tetrahedron cells. It is the [[16-cell#Octahedral dipyramid|four-dimensional analogue of the octahedron]], and each of its four orthogonal central hyperplanes is an octahedron. The only planar regular polygons found in the 16-cell are face triangles and central plane squares, but the 16-cell also contains a skew regular octagon, its [[W:Petrie polygon|Petrie polygon]]. The chords of this regular octagon, which lies skew in 4-space, are those given above for the 16-cell, as opposed to those for the cube or the regular octagon in the plane. The 16-cell is a construct of 3 Petrie octagons which share the same 8 vertices but have disjoint sets of 8 edges each. The regular octad has higher symmetry in 4-space than it does in 2-space. The 16-cell is the 4-orthoplex, the simplest regular 4-polytope after the [[5-cell|4-simplex]]. All the larger regular convex 4-polytopes are compounds of the 16-cell. The regular octagon exhibits this high symmetry only when embedded in 4-space at the vertices of the 16-cell. The 16-cell constitutes an [[W:Orthonormal basis|orthonormal basis]] for the choice of a 4-dimensional Cartesian reference frame, because its vertices define four orthogonal axes. The eight vertices of a unit-radius 16-cell are (±1, 0, 0, 0), (0, ±1, 0, 0), (0, 0, ±1, 0), (0, 0, 0, ±1). All vertices are connected by <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges except opposite pairs. The vertex coordinates of the 16-cell form 6 central squares lying in 6 pairwise [[W:Orthogonal|orthogonal]] coordinate planes. Great squares in ''opposite'' planes that do not share an axis (e.g. in the ''xy'' and ''wz'' planes) are completely disjoint (they do not intersect at any vertices). These planes are [[W:Completely orthogonal|completely orthogonal]].{{Efn|name=Six orthogonal planes of the Cartesian basis}} Since this unit-radius coordinate system is convenient, let us derive the unit-radius 16-cell by skewing a unit-radius planar octagon, which has chords of length: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{2-\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.76537,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.84776,r_4=2</math> We will need a planar octagon with rigid <math>r_2</math> chords, rather than one with rigid <math>r_1</math> edges. The octagon's <math>r_2</math> chords form two disjoint great squares, visible in the orthogonal projection, which we can reposition in 3-space to form a cube by making them parallel, and in 4-space to form a 16-cell by making them completely orthogonal. In the 16-cell the two completely orthogonal great squares formed by the <math>r_2</math> chords are both parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move. The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane. The <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth between the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> squares. The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a skew {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in ''both'' of the two completely orthogonal <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by the same angle, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The circular helix is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] great circle on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its circumference is <math>4 \pi</math>, and it occurs in either a left or right chiral form. We shall refer to the circular helix geodesic as an ''isocline'', and to the skew {8/3} octagram of its chords as a ''Clifford polygon''. [[W:Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space|Rotations in 4-dimensional Euclidean space]] can be seen as the composition of two 2-dimensional rotations in completely orthogonal planes. The general rotation in 4-space is a double rotation in pairs of completely orthogonal planes. Two completely orthogonal planes are called invariant planes of the rotation when all points in the plane rotate on circles that remain in the plane, even as the whole plane tilts sideways (like a coin flipping) into another plane. The two completely orthogonal rotations of each plane (like a wheel, and like a coin flipping) are simultaneous but independent, in that they are not geometrically constrained to turn at the same rate. However, the most circular kind of rotation (as opposed to an elliptical double rotation of a rigid spherical object) occurs when the invariant planes do rotate through the same angle in the same time interval. Such equi-angled double rotations are called [[w:SO(4)#Isoclinic_rotations|isoclinic]], also [[w:William_Kingdon_Clifford|Clifford]] displacements. The 16-cell is the simplest possible frame in which to [[16-cell#Rotations|observe 4-dimensional rotations]] because its characteristic rotations feature a single pair of invariant rotation planes. In the 16-cell an isoclinic rotation by 90° in any pair of invariant completely orthogonal square central planes takes every square central plane to its completely orthogonal square central plane in a twisting displacement, as they tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once on the same circular helix geodesic isocline, displaced 90° in 8 orthogonal directions, and the rigid 16-cell assumes a new orientation in 4-space. When the 90° isoclinic rotation is continued in the same rotational direction through an additional 90°, each vertex is again displaced 90°, but from the new orientation in a direction orthogonal to its first 90° displacement. After 360° of rotation each vertex reaches its antipodal position. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. == Hypercubes == The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <small><math>n</math></small> is <small><math>\sqrt{n}</math></small>, so the unit-edge [[w:Tesseract|4-hypercube, the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract,]] has chords: :<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> Uniquely in its 4-dimensional case, the hypercube's edge length equals its radius, like the hexagon. We call such polytopes ''radially equilateral'', because they can be constructed from equilateral triangles which meet at their center, each contributing two radii and an edge. The cuboctahedron and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral. The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] {4,3,3}. It has 16 vertices, 32 edges, 24 square faces, and 8 cube cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cube. The 16-point tesseract is the convex hull of a compound of two 8-point 16-cells, in exact dimensional analogy to the way the 8-point cube is the convex hull of a [[W:Stellated octahedron|compound of two 4-point regular tetrahedra]]. The [[W:Demihypercube|demihypercubes]] occupy alternate vertices of the hypercubes. The diagonals of the square faces of the unit-edge, unit-radius tesseract are the <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small> edges of two unit-radius 16-cells, also the edges of the square central planes. We can rotate the tesseract isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cell. The skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 16 vertices lie on two disjoint octagram circular helix isoclines of the same chirality, which are [[w:Clifford_parallel|Clifford parallel]] objects that form a circular double helix. The tesseract is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 16-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew octagon, but the tesseract is a construct of 4 Petrie octagons with disjoint sets of 8 tesseract edges each. Two Petrie octagons cross at each vertex. We can construct the tesseract by skewing two planar octagons. Because the tesseract is radially equilateral (unlike the 16-cell), we use two octagons of unit-edge length to build the unit-radius tesseract. To start we embed the planar octagons in 4-space at the same point and make them completely orthogonal. Then we skew each planar octagon into a cube, so we have a compound of two completely orthogonal cubes. Provided we skewed them both in the same rotational direction, the 16 vertices will be the vertices of a tesseract with half its 32 edges missing. Because the tesseract contains two 16-cells in alternate positions it has two sets of 6 orthogonal square central planes. Two angles are required to specify the relationship between two planes in 4-space. Pairs of square central planes within each 16-cell are 90° apart in one angle, and either 0° or 90° apart in the other angle. They are 90° apart in both angles if and only if they are completely orthogonal planes, 90° apart by isoclinic rotation, with no vertices in common. Otherwise they are 0° apart in one of the angles, 90° apart by simple rotation, and they intersect in one axis and lie in a common 3-dimensional hyperplane.{{Efn|A double rotation in which one of the two angles of rotation is 0°, so that one of the completely orthogonal invariant planes does not rotate, is called a simple rotation. Ordinary rotations observed in a 3-dimensional space are simple rotations.}} A pair of square central planes from alternate-position 16-cells are 60° apart by isoclinic rotation, with their corresponding vertices 120° apart. The planes are not orthogonal or parallel, so they intersect in a line somewhere, but they have no vertices in common, they have no 3-dimensional hyperplane in common, and they cannot reach each other by simple rotation. Such pairs of objects are called [[W:Clifford parallel|Clifford parallel]] because all their corresponding pairs of vertices are the same distance apart, although they are not parallel in the usual sense, because they have a common center. Not only the alternate-position 16-cells' corresponding square central planes, but also the 16-cells themselves, are Clifford parallel objects. More generally, multiple disjoint instances of a 4-polytope which compound to make a larger 4-polytope are Clifford parallel objects. == The 24-cell == In 2-space we have the radially equilateral 6-point hexagon. In 3-space we have the radially equilateral 12-point cuboctahedron, with 4 hexagonal central planes. In 4-space we have the radially equilateral 24-point 24-cell, with 4 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes. The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol {3,4,3}. It has 24 vertices, 96 edges, 96 equilateral triangle faces, and 24 octahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the cuboctahedron. The 24-cell has the same chord set as the 4-hypercube tesseract: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> The 24-cell is its own [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]]. Its Petrie polygon is the skew regular dodecahedron {12}, which has chords: :<math>r_1=1,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math> The 24-cell is a construct of eight Petrie dodecahedrons with disjoint sets of 12 edges each. ... The 24-point 24-cell is the convex hull of a compound of three disjoint 8-point 16-cells, rotated 60° isoclinically with respect to each other. Each of the three pairs of 16-cells is a tesseract. Each 24-cell edge is also a tesseract edge. The corresponding vertices of two 16-cells or two tesseracts are <small><math>\sqrt{3}=120^\circ</math></small> apart. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <small><math>\sqrt{3}</math></small> long diameters. The <small><math>\sqrt{3}</math></small> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cube long diameters. We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically the way we rotated the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation in invariant square central planes each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, but it does not visit the vertex positions of the other 16-cells. The three disjoint skew octagon geodesic orbits of the 24 vertices form a circular triple helix. We can also rotate the 24-cell isoclinically by 60° in two completely orthogonal invariant hexagonal central planes, which takes every hexagonal central plane to a Clifford parallel hexagonal central plane. Great hexagons are a rounder choice than great squares for the invariant rotation planes in which to rotate a 4-polytope. A complete hexagonal isoclinic revolution requires 720° like a square isoclinic revolution, but it is completed in 6 chordal steps of 120° each rather than 8 chordal steps of 90° each. The trajectory of each vertex over each 90° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-eighth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces a circular helix isocline in 4-space over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle twice over the four <math>r_2</math> chords within one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic rotation each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 16-cell returns to its original orientation. ... == The 600-cell == ... == Finally the 120-cell == ... == Conclusions == Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the distinct isoclinic rotation characteristic of a ''d''-dimensional regular polytope. The characteristic rotational chord sequence of the ''d''-polytope can be represented geometrically in two dimensions on a distinct star polygon, but it lies on a geodesic circle through ''d''-dimensional space. Fontaine and Hurley discovered the geodesic topology of polytopes generally. Their procedure will reveal the geodesics of arbitrary non-uniform polytopes, since it can be applied to a polytope of any dimensionality and irregularity, by first fitting the polytope to the smallest regular polygon whose chords include its chords. Fontaine and Hurley's discovery of a chordal formula for isoclinic rotations closes the circuit on Kappraff and Adamson's discovery of a rotational connection between dynamical systems, Steinbach's golden fields, and Coxeter's Euclidean geometry of ''n'' dimensions. Application of the Fontaine and Hurley procedure in higher-dimensional spaces demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden polygon chord sequences, to chord sequences in isoclinic rotation helixes, to subsumption relations in the sequence of regular 4-polytopes, arise as expressions of the reflections and rotations of distinct Coxeter symmetry groups, when those various groups interact. == Appendix: Sequence of regular 4-polytopes == {{Regular convex 4-polytopes|wiki=W:|columns=7}} == Notes == {{Notelist}} == Citations == {{Reflist}} == References == {{Refbegin}} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=1997 | title=Golden fields: A case for the Heptagon | journal=Mathematics Magazine | volume=70 | issue=Feb 1997 | pages=22–31 | doi=10.1080/0025570X.1997.11996494 | jstor=2691048 | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|1997}} }} * {{Cite journal | last=Steinbach | first=Peter | year=2000 | title=Sections Beyond Golden| journal=Bridges: Mathematical Connections in Art, Music and Science | issue=2000 | pages=35-44 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2000/bridges2000-35.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Steinbach|2000}}}} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Jablan | first2=Slavik | last3=Adamson | first3=Gary | last4=Sazdanovich | first4=Radmila | year=2004 | title=Golden Fields, Generalized Fibonacci Sequences, and Chaotic Matrices | journal=Forma | volume=19 | pages=367-387 | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2005/bridges2005-369.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff, Jablan, Adamson & Sazdanovich|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Kappraff | first1=Jay | last2=Adamson | first2=Gary | year=2004 | title=Polygons and Chaos | journal=Dynamical Systems and Geometric Theories | url=https://archive.bridgesmathart.org/2001/bridges2001-67.pdf | ref={{SfnRef|Kappraff & Adamson|2004}} }} * {{Cite journal | last1=Fontaine | first1=Anne | last2=Hurley | first2=Susan | year=2006 | title=Proof by Picture: Products and Reciprocals of Diagonal Length Ratios in the Regular Polygon | journal=Forum Geometricorum | volume=6 | pages=97-101 | url=https://scispace.com/pdf/proof-by-picture-products-and-reciprocals-of-diagonal-length-1aian8mgp9.pdf }} {{Refend}} f3g9v53ed40frzbcpea1623wlcrco9k User:PieWriter/RFD.js 2 328442 2810051 2798644 2026-05-18T07:55:12Z PieWriter 3039865 2810051 javascript text/javascript mw.loader.using(['mediawiki.util', 'mediawiki.api'], function () { var api = new mw.Api();

Also to make a main space where I gather info about my progress but that will probably be the draft itself if I move forward. Now if I write a "diary" that will be only regarding the project. Turned "me language" into expressing that everyone is welcome, that I don't "own" [[Draft:The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea]]. Now everything that says "I did this" "I did that" should be gone. I think this was an improvement of some sort. Plan for next edits on the draft page: Add an <nowiki>" == Old Methodology needing updating == "</nowiki> where I will add old methodologies where I had not planned ahead too good and the "Do no harm" I did not know about or could not focus on. That was before I created my own Draft that feels like it only happened some days ago. Interaction I thought was an efficient method but how would methodology be modified today with what I know now and will know in the future? == April 20, 2026 == Why does it seem like I'm the only one using the word "methodology"? Did the [[Wikiversity:Research ethics]] mention it? * I cannot find it! I checked all infoboxes! It must have been generated and I probably never questioned it...until now. == April 21, 2026 == I think I put a new subsection on the Draft space something that was related to developing my method/methodology into the "Do no harm". Considering I have almost not developed anything but I still gotta work on this...to do... == April 22, 2026 == I am yearning / looking forward to working on video notes in a "Do no harm" way. I don't feel like it has happened yet. I did make modifications but it may have increased complexity. A complexity that will make it harder for me to work or just different. == April 27, 2026 == I met with my father and he is a friend of the sciences. One word: hypothesis. He asked what my main hypothesis is. Of course hypothesis is a way to test if the idea is sound or if it's for the trashcan. I'm glad he gave me this feedback or interest in trying to learn more. Today I woke up being inspired by that: * Is there a hypothesis or a number of hypotheses related to the idea? ** Can this idea be proven false? Why it's important to prove a hypothesis false: so that we don't waste time on trash ideas. If they are not provable we give time to the creator of the suggestion/idea to prove make a hypothesis. Only when the creator fails to provide any sort of hypothesis and maybe suggests their own idea be removed because as hard as they tried they couldn't make a functioning hypothesis...then I guess that's one of the more 'natural' ways for a project to more naturally leave Wikiversity. Deadlines etc. can help me keep moving... What a hypothesis is: "I predict this will happen" and then checking results what happens and whether it fulfilled the prediction or not and sometimes we stumble upon new things we did not expect. [[Operationalization]] is then also needed to make "ambiguous ideas" measurable. My father remembers that I "wanted to save the world" but it was nothing other than an observation I wanted to share with other people that I had made that began years earlier. June 16 should be 2 months roughly after the creation of the Draft:Idea... == April 29, 2026 == Just made my father aware of this "idea" that so far doesn't have a published hypothesis of any kind, not even in a "basic stage". Only the deadline for June 16 exists right now. I'm happy he did not reject me working on it. He encourages me to work harder. I got a "Great job so far!" compliment. === Google's "AI Mode" === This part was 100% AI-generated: {{quote|What you are describing is a core concept in the philosophy of science called Falsification. It was popularized by Karl Popper, who argued that science doesn't progress by "proving things right," but by rigorously trying to prove things wrong and failing to do so.}} == April 30, 2026 == Was gonna start writing on the Colloquium again and composed a large message to reply/'talk to' Jtneill but I got input from "AI Mode" and then I realized after a while, maybe what I'm trying to ask I can find out with the help of "AI Mode" leading me to the right resources? ie. formatting on talk pages...how important is that? Prioritizing... Also replying to everything? Is it really needed? Would I like to be known as "Needy ThinkingScience"? I can't do anything on my own? So yeah, I started thinking maybe I can focus on doing more. Starting by talking less and the tools we have available can fix a lot anyway, LLMs are great but designed in interesting and challenging ways! Do I even need a mentor or do I '''just think I need one'''? I am very much a needy guy in terms of hand-holding and being related to a social context "historically" in my life, or at least that's what I thought. What I think I need for myself may be completely wrong. People in talk pages I interpreted as saying that I shouldn't put obstacles in my path by being mean to myself and putting pressure on myself to do certain things in a certain amount of time but I guess I couldn't stop myself! I also need a social context but would I just drag others into my "bad routines"? It all depends on who one interacts with...which now makes me think about "the idea" again. I guess I should see this as a warning sign :) My father suggested peer-review related activities and here I am looking inward and isolating myself. I don't know... :I figured today I begin with {{quote|April 20th experiment, "AI Decisions, sure. AI-generation NEVER"}} == May 5, 2026 == Today I became very emotional when thinking about the importance of taking the decision to finally "unload" my idea on and trying to develop it on Wikiversity while talking to a friend. It's important to know when I last felt this deep of an "emotion unload". The original question from my friend in the original language: {{quote|"Σκεφτόμουν εάν αυτή η συναισθηματική αντίδραση σου συμβαίνει συχνά ή εάν έτυχε απλώς τώρα στην συνάντησή μας?"}} which I'll translate for you. I was also pondering the "suitability" of adding foreign languages to Wikiversity. It would make sense as long as that is the training material for the course which is in English about learning a foreign language. The question as I interpret it as of this moment and which may be incorrect is this: {{quote|I was thinking if this emotional reaction happens to you often or if it just happened now at the meeting?}} And I think I remember my answer being that it only happened now. It was very important for me because no longer will only I think about this draft in my own mind but other people can think too about what I describe about it. Any data I can find will also then be able to be studied by contributors or interested parties. So far, no data at all. My point: Not having to carry this weight anymore. It was too heavy. It was basically too hard for me to formulate "coherent" sentences and only thought about them at brief periods while waking up or during "Aha!" moments. == May 18, 2026, Monday == As I wrote in the diary of my main user account, screen arrived. I can now work. I will continue work on the translation for my unfinished draft "idea" on the Greek Wikiversity. I'm following the "Be bold". Translating also means processing, that means that a different "take" on the idea may happen. That may lead to a better formulated text. j8l6wmf9qf4s5glwuvh7xhxyprjvz4e Draft:The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea/AI Prompt History for Questions 118 329180 2810115 2808115 2026-05-18T11:39:35Z ThinkingScience 3061446 human output is better explained, even though common sense already tells the user? 2810115 wikitext text/x-wiki {{AI-generated}} For practical purposes we can assume that everything on this page is "AI-generated".

This is a page where one can get a question and then work further to refine the question. This is some disorganized inputs and outputs. Inputs are sent to an AI/LLM and outputs is about what the AI/LLM gives the user. When it says "'''human output'''" that means that a user thought of a question or a comment based on an AI's/LLM's output. == "AI Mode" by Google inputs/outputs == News: In this section today at April 27, 2026 a new 'data point'/method for noting down multiple inputs which were typed before without the output as the previous output may be ignored because only the latest output may be interesting for the user. We call this: * "pre-input" - "pre-input" are inputs that were sent before the main input where we also provide the output. The pre-inputs don't need their own outputs as that adds too much complexity and we try to avoid spamming Wikiversity. Please feel free to add subsections here. * human input April 18, 2026: I have an idea and I'm developing the idea here on English Wikiversity: Draft:The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea. What kind of questions might I need to move forward. I'm looking for academic feedback. The problem is "people don't understand themselves" and have to go through "dragged-out diagnosis processes" by psychiatrists. The problem to be solved: how the brain works and presenting a system how it can be mapped. ** output Purpose: "What specific problem does this idea solve for the reader?" ** output Reach: "Who is the primary 'student' for this draft?" *** human output: Who is the target audience for this draft? ** output Validation: "What existing research or lived experience supports this claim?" ** output Interactivity: "What can a reader do with this information right now?" * human input: Is a "neurotype" up for debate?

Don't correct misspellings in inputs or outputs. Misspellings are data. * pre inputs by human to "AI Mode" on April 27, 2026 ** operationalization (Q286017) describes itself on Wikidata as: "process of defining the measurement of a phenomenon that is not directly measurable, though its existence is indicated by other phenomena" What does that mean in 20 words max? ** what is operationalization for ie. a hypothesis about whether sunlight is good for plants or not? ** I operationalization a scientific concept and is it available on wikiversity? ** Can a hypothesis be created for this project? https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Draft:The_Neurodiversity-inspired_Idea#%22Research_projects_must_fully_document_the_methods%22 ** neurodiversity-inspired is not the same thing as neurodiversity-based ** bro you are lost in the neurodiversity mumbo jumbo ** Let's just agree on one thing: If I don't tell you what I'm thinking, you won't know?

I'll keep it brief as requested. Standing by for your signal.}} === Methodology questions === * human input April 20, 2026: On Wikiversity they say "ask the right questions with your idea". I got an idea, this is my idea: "The Neurodiversity-inspired idea". My methodology is about watching videos of famous people but I want to do the public notes in a way that doesn't "offend the famous people" when I compare them with other famous people. ** output: "How does this person's way of processing information differ from or similar to the other person in this comparison?", "What strengths or 'superpowers' are evident in how they navigate this specific situation?". Strategy for Non-Offensive Public Notes. Focus on Behaviours, Not Diagnoses: Only comment on observed actions or statements. Use phrases like, "Their speaking style is consistent with..." rather than "They are...". '''Methodology questions''' When watching a famous person in a video interview in the current "methodology": * How does this person's way of processing information differ to another person in this comparison? (modified by a human) * What strengths or 'superpowers' are evident in how they navigate this specific situation? ==== Failures in output we can learn from in Methodology questions to AIs/LLMs ==== It's not always easy to find the right questions. When the question has some problems that causes an output that doesn't make sense they can be put in this section. * human input April 19, 2026: I'm looking for an English-Wikiversity-compliant methodology to study famous people in video interviews while "being allowed" to group them together without it being "heresy" in scientific communities. Can you formulate that as a question? ** output "didn't make sense" / "was irrelevant" (conclusion by human contributor) == "Reference Coding" == '''⚠️⚠️⚠️ WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️: Very important. This section's name should not be changed because other pages already link here and if the section's name is changed those links will break! For any questions please use the talk page.''' Here happens a "reference coding" so it's easy to find an input when it is being referenced from another page on Wikiversity. ie. [1] should be the same as [1] on another page which is referencing the [1] here. These inputs/outputs were done with "AI Mode" by Google. * Reference [1] * human input April 22: I need somebody who is a famous person and that we can tie to the word "draft" even indirectly and that is a modern person and that appears in many different video interviews. ** output: A compelling modern person for your "Method development" section is Taylor Swift. She is a modern icon who appears in countless video interviews and can be tied directly to the word "draft" through her creative process and public statements. === Reference 2 === Making an own Wiki-section is what might work better. * human input to "AI Mode" on April 27, 2026: So the individuals that participate in the 'sociological' hypothesis experiment will interact through the tool known as "Etherpad". ** "AI Mode" output same date: {{quote|That is a great choice for a study because Etherpad produces a literal "paper trail" of the interaction.

The IMV model portrays suicidal behavior as an escalating, behavioral process divided into three phases: pre-motivational phase, motivational phase, and volitional phase. The motivational phase is characterized by suicidal ideation formation, where feelings of entrapment (described as a "proximal [predictor] of suicidal ideation"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=O'Connor|first=Rory C.|last2=Kirtley|first2=Olivia J.|date=2018-09-05|title=The integrated motivational-volitional model of suicidal behaviour|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6053985/|journal=Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London.

The current literature aims to shed light on a neglected niche of suicide research: autobiographical memory. Despite the overwhelming research suggesting correlations between OGM and depression and suicidal ideation, research has not thoroughly explored OGM's exact role in a cognitive, theoretical framework of suicidal ideation (specifically within the IMV model). By conducting a narrative review and integrating research on OGM's role in suicidal ideation, this paper furthers understanding on OGM's role in suicidal ideation within the IMV framework. ==OGM as a Vulnerability== Evidence suggests that OGM is a cognitive vulnerability associated with depression and suicidal ideation, though its predictive relevance may vary depending on the population. A meta analysis performed by Sumner et. al (2010) found that OGM accounted for about 1-2% of the variance in depressive symptoms at follow-up<ref name=":2" />. A 2020 study found that OGM was associated with depressed patients' current suicidal ideation state and worse-point suicidal ideation, while OGM affected the healthy patients' worse-point suicidal ideation<ref name=":2" />. However, Crane et. al (2016) conducted a longitudinal study of n≈5800 adolescents from ages 13 to 16 and found that OGM was not significantly associated with depression and did not moderate the effect of life events, suggesting OGM may not be as generalizable to community samples vs. high-risk populations<ref name=":2" />. Even though the findings indicated that OGM was not significantly associated with depression, the study highlights that OGM may function as a vulnerability within high-risk populations. This suggests that OGM's predictive relevance may depend on the risk-level of the population. OGM persists even past depression, as found in Hallford et. al (2022). A meta-analysis indicated that participants with remitted depression continue to experience small to moderate deficiencies in being able to recall "specific, event-level personal memories". This indicates that OGM isn't merely a symptom of depression, but may function as a risk factor for future depressive episodes<ref name=":2" />. Considering the above, the analysis suggests that OGM may function as a cognitive vulnerability that is further exacerbated in high-risk populations vs. the general population. ==Mechanisms== The inability to retrieve specific memories from one's autobiographical memory may lead to inefficient problem-solving abilities, which can impact one's ability to deal with difficult situations as they lack past experiences to rely on<ref name=":2" /><ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Arie|first=Miri|last2=Apter|first2=Alan|last3=Orbach|first3=Israel|last4=Yefet|first4=Yael|last5=Zalzman|first5=Gil|date=2008-01-01|title=Autobiographical memory, interpersonal problem solving, and suicidal behavior in adolescent inpatients|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0010440X07000922|journal=Comprehensive Psychiatry|volume=49|issue=1|pages=22–29|doi=10.1016/j.comppsych.2007.07.004|issn=0010-440X}}</ref>.

Repeated rumination strengthens these negative self-beliefs, leading to frequent capture of negative conceptual themes and impeding memory retrieval. This association of rumination and general memory aligns with the CaR-FA-X model<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Stange|first=Jonathan P.|last2=Hamlat|first2=Elissa J.|last3=Hamilton|first3=Jessica L.|last4=Abramson|first4=Lyn Y.|last5=Alloy|first5=Lauren B.|date=2013-02|title=Overgeneral autobiographical memory, emotional maltreatment, and depressive symptoms in adolescence: evidence of a cognitive vulnerability-stress interaction|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3530666/|journal=Journal of Adolescence|volume=36|issue=1|pages=201–208|doi=10.1016/j.adolescence.2012.11.001|issn=1095-9254|pmc=3530666|pmid=23186994}}</ref>. Within the IMV model, we propose that OGM falls under '''Threat to Self Moderators (TSM)'''. TSMs spur entrapment (a perceived sense of being trapped by defeat/humilitation), which can lead to suicidal ideation depending on the effects of '''Motivational Moderators (MM).''' Positive factors, such as motivation to live, positive future thinking, and belongingess can offset the transition of entrapment → suicidal ideation, though negative factors, such as thwarted belongingness, very little social support, and perceived burdensomeness, may increase the chance of entrapment converting into suicidal ideation<ref name=":1" />. ==OGM → Suicidal ideation (CORE)== The research suggests that OGM is not just associated with depression, but is a contributing factor towards suicidal ideation (especially in high-risk populations). Jiang et. al (2020) found in a study of 365 participants, with roughly 51% of the participants clinically depressed while the other roughly 49% of participants were classified as "healthy", that OGM had an increased presence in the depressed group vs. the "healthy" group. WSI (worst suicidal thoughts one has ever had [at a certain point]) and CSI (current point of suicidal ideation) were significantly affected by OGM in the depressed group. OGM was also found to be a mediator between CSI and childhood trauma in depressed patients. As OGM leads to negative memory biases and, therefore, the maintenance of a negative mental state, the researchers suggested that OGM may be a consistent contributor to suicidal ideation in depressed patients<ref name=":3" />. These findings are corroborated by a more recent (2025) study on depressed patients with varying levels of SI, where the researchers concluded that OGM may be "a maladaptive cognitive avoidance strategy" rather than simply a deterioration in memory. Zhu et. al (2025) further explain that individuals with OGM have a difficult time recalling positive memories, which reinforce negative recollections, spurring hopelessness and the transition to suicidal ideation<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Zhu|first=Ying|last2=Yin|first2=Qianlan|last3=Xu|first3=Huijing|last4=Xiao|first4=Fang|last5=Jiang|first5=Qian|last6=Liang|first6=Meng|last7=Cheng|first7=Qi|last8=Liu|first8=Taosheng|date=2025-11-24|title=Speech feature identification model for depressed individuals with suicidal ideation based on autobiographical memory|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/s12888-025-07635-0|journal=BMC Psychiatry|language=en|volume=25|issue=1|pages=1154|doi=10.1186/s12888-025-07635-0|issn=1471-244X|pmc=12713288|pmid=41286790}}</ref>. In a 2008 study on autobiographical memory, interpersonal problem-solving skills, and suicidal behaviour in adolescents and young adults, Arie et. al (2008) found that OGM was significantly associated with hopelessness and poor problem-solving abilities in adolescents. This suggests that being able to retrieve specific memories in one's autobiographical memory improves problem-solving skills, as they are able to draw back from past experiences to address challenging interpersonal situations<ref name=":4" />. Kaviani et. al (2011) found that depressed individuals with more severe suicidal ideation levels had more difficulty in retrieving specific thoughts in comparison to depressed individuals with less severe suicidal ideation<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kaviani|first=H.|last2=Rahimi|first2=M.|last3=Rahimi-Darabad|first3=P.|last4=Naghavi|first4=K.

These findings suggest that OGM plays a unique factor in contributing to suicidal ideation through maladaptive cognitive processing rather than being merely a symptom of depression. ==Contradictions / Nuances== Despite the importance of OGM and the findings indicating its potential amplification of suicidal ideation, OGM does not appear to be a consistent detriment in low-risk populations. Crane et. al (2016) conducted a longitudinal study of 5792 adolescents from ages 13 to 16 and found no significant findings that OGM played a direct or interactive role with depression, suicidal ideation, and self-harm (when accounted for confounding variables) in a general population<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Crane|first=Catherine|last2=Heron|first2=Jon|last3=Gunnell|first3=David|last4=Lewis|first4=Glyn|last5=Evans|first5=Jonathan|last6=Williams|first6=J.

The authors concluded that OGM appears to be more clinically meaningful in high-risk populations that are already cognitively vulnerable through depression and/or psychopathology. The OGM x Stress interaction theory is supported by another longitudinal study done on 174 Caucasian adolescents by Stange et. al (2012), where they found that OGM was found to be a vulnerability to adolescents with depression (especially emotional maltreatment)<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Stange|first=Jonathan P.|last2=Hamlat|first2=Elissa J.|last3=Hamilton|first3=Jessica L.|last4=Abramson|first4=Lyn Y.|last5=Alloy|first5=Lauren B.|date=2013-02|title=Overgeneral autobiographical memory, emotional maltreatment, and depressive symptoms in adolescence: evidence of a cognitive vulnerability-stress interaction|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3530666/|journal=Journal of Adolescence|volume=36|issue=1|pages=201–208|doi=10.1016/j.adolescence.2012.11.001|issn=1095-9254|pmc=3530666|pmid=23186994}}</ref>. These findings, alongside with Jiang et. al (2020), suggest that OGM is context-dependent and may play a significant role in the development of depression and/or suicidal ideation if the individual is already susceptible for depression and/or mental disorders. This aligns with the diathesis-stress model, suggesting a set of factors interact with pre-existing vulnerabilities to produce a "disordered state"<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1017/9781316563205|title=The Neuroscience of Suicidal Behavior|last=van Heeringen|first=Kees|date=2018-08-23|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-316-56320-5|pages=24-25}}</ref>. ==Conclusion== OGM has been found to be a cognitive vulnerability for suicidal ideation amongst clinically high-risk samples. Within the IMV model, OGM may be a TSM (Threat to Self Moderators), which may contribute to entrapment, hopelessness, negative Motivational Moderators (such as thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness), and the transition from suicidal ideation to suicidal behavior within the Volitional Phase (where suicidal behavior is present). Despite significant research indicating OGM's unique contribution to suicidal ideation, OGM may be a significant contributor in high-risk/depressed populations. Future research should look into OGM's place in suicidal models and assess whether therapies targeting OGM, such as Memory Specificity Training (MEST), would be beneficial across diverse populations in reducing the risk of suicidal ideation. == References == {{Reflist}} [[Category:Atcovi/OGM & Suicide Poster]] 0dnkp5j92a0mt3ebd60zudlgfo9gxw9 Bully Metric Metonic cycle 0 329377 2809993 2809576 2026-05-18T00:53:56Z Unitfreak 695864 2809993 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Bully_Metric|Bully Metric Main Page]]<br /> [[Bully_Metric_Timestamps|Bully Metric Timestamps Main Page]]<br /> [[Bully_Metric_Metonic_cycle|The Metonic Cycle in Bully Metric]]<br /> [https://unitfreak.github.io/Bully-Row-Timestamps/Java_Bully.html Current Bully Timestamp (GitHub)]<br /> The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the Moon's phases recur on the same calendar dates. This cycle arises because 19 solar years and 235 synodic months nearly coincide. [[File:Commons:Bully_Metric_Metonic_Cycle.png|thumb|center|650 px| Figure 1: Moon phase observed during Equinox. <small>(19-Year Metonic Alignment)</small>]] The Moon’s phase "advances" by approximately {{frac|7|19}} of a lunar cycle when observed on the same day in subsequent years (see figure 1). For example, if a '''New Moon''' occurs on the December Solstice of 2014: * The 2015 solstice will feature a '''Waxing Gibbous Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|7|19}}). * The 2016 solstice will feature a '''Third Quarter Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|14|19}}). * The 2017 solstice will feature a '''Waxing Crescent Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|21|19}}). * And the 2033 solstice will feature a '''New Moon''' (an advancement of 7 complete cycles). Within this 19-year span, significant "near-matches" occur at the 8-year and 11-year marks. At 8 years, the drift reaches {{frac|56|19}} (approx. 2.95 cycles); at 11 years, it reaches {{frac|77|19}} (approx. 4.05 cycles). These intervals represent points where the lunar-solar alignment falls just short or just past a full-integer "reset," which eventually concludes at the 19-year mark. == The New Moon Solstice == The darkest nights in the Northern Hemisphere occur when the '''December Solstice''' coincides with a '''New Moon'''. The darkest nights in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the '''June Solstice''' coincides with a '''New Moon'''. The Metonic cycle predicts this alignment every 19 years, with significant "near-matches" at the 8th- and 11th-year marks.

This cycle arises because 19 solar years and 235 synodic months nearly coincide. [[File:Bully_Metric_Metonic_Cycle.png|thumb|center|650 px| Figure 1: Moon phase observed during Equinox. <small>(19-Year Metonic Alignment)</small>]] The Moon’s phase "advances" by approximately {{frac|7|19}} of a lunar cycle when observed on the same day in subsequent years (see figure 1). For example, if a '''New Moon''' occurs on the December Solstice of 2014: * The 2015 solstice will feature a '''Waxing Gibbous Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|7|19}}). * The 2016 solstice will feature a '''Third Quarter Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|14|19}}). * The 2017 solstice will feature a '''Waxing Crescent Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|21|19}}). * And the 2033 solstice will feature a '''New Moon''' (an advancement of 7 complete cycles). Within this 19-year span, significant "near-matches" occur at the 8-year and 11-year marks. At 8 years, the drift reaches {{frac|56|19}} (approx. 2.95 cycles); at 11 years, it reaches {{frac|77|19}} (approx. 4.05 cycles). These intervals represent points where the lunar-solar alignment falls just short or just past a full-integer "reset," which eventually concludes at the 19-year mark. == The New Moon Solstice == The darkest nights in the Northern Hemisphere occur when the '''December Solstice''' coincides with a '''New Moon'''. The darkest nights in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the '''June Solstice''' coincides with a '''New Moon'''. The Metonic cycle predicts this alignment every 19 years, with significant "near-matches" at the 8th- and 11th-year marks. Table 1 illustrates Metonic cycles over a one-century period (1996–2109), listing the approximate date and Bully timestamp for every New Moon during the century. Red cells indicate the New Moon Solstice alignment every 19 years. Yellow cells indicate the New Moon Solstice near-alignments on the 8th- and 11th-year marks of the Metonic cycle. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle: * July 23, 1998 New Moon on 8209 280'''0 038B''' * July 23, 2017 New Moon on 8209 280'''3 0238''' {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;

This cycle arises because 19 solar years and 235 synodic months nearly coincide. [[File:Commons:Bully_Metric_Metonic_Cycle|thumb|center|650 px| Figure 1: Moon phase observed during Equinox. <small>(19-Year Metonic Alignment)</small>]] The Moon’s phase "advances" by approximately {{frac|7|19}} of a lunar cycle when observed on the same day in subsequent years (see figure 1). For example, if a '''New Moon''' occurs on the December Solstice of 2014: * The 2015 solstice will feature a '''Waxing Gibbous Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|7|19}}). * The 2016 solstice will feature a '''Third Quarter Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|14|19}}). * The 2017 solstice will feature a '''Waxing Crescent Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|21|19}}). * And the 2033 solstice will feature a '''New Moon''' (an advancement of 7 complete cycles). Within this 19-year span, significant "near-matches" occur at the 8-year and 11-year marks. At 8 years, the drift reaches {{frac|56|19}} (approx. 2.95 cycles); at 11 years, it reaches {{frac|77|19}} (approx. 4.05 cycles). These intervals represent points where the lunar-solar alignment falls just short or just past a full-integer "reset," which eventually concludes at the 19-year mark. == The New Moon Solstice == The darkest nights in the Northern Hemisphere occur when the '''December Solstice''' coincides with a '''New Moon'''. The darkest nights in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the '''June Solstice''' coincides with a '''New Moon'''. The Metonic cycle predicts this alignment every 19 years, with significant "near-matches" at the 8th- and 11th-year marks. Table 1 illustrates Metonic cycles over a one-century period (1996–2109), listing the approximate date and Bully timestamp for every New Moon during the century. Red cells indicate the New Moon Solstice alignment every 19 years. Yellow cells indicate the New Moon Solstice near-alignments on the 8th- and 11th-year marks of the Metonic cycle. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle: * July 23, 1998 New Moon on 8209 280'''0 038B''' * July 23, 2017 New Moon on 8209 280'''3 0238''' {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;

This cycle arises because 19 solar years and 235 synodic months nearly coincide. [[File:Bully_Metric_Metonic_Cycle.png|thumb|center|650 px| Figure 1: Moon phase observed during Equinox. <small>(19-Year Metonic Alignment)</small>]] The Moon’s phase "advances" by approximately {{frac|7|19}} of a lunar cycle when observed on the same day in subsequent years (see figure 1). For example, if a '''New Moon''' occurs on the December Solstice of 2014: * The 2015 solstice will feature a '''Waxing Gibbous Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|7|19}}). * The 2016 solstice will feature a '''Third Quarter Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|14|19}}). * The 2017 solstice will feature a '''Waxing Crescent Moon''' (an advancement of ~{{frac|21|19}}). * And the 2033 solstice will feature a '''New Moon''' (an advancement of 7 complete cycles). Within this 19-year span, significant "near-matches" occur at the 8-year and 11-year marks. At 8 years, the drift reaches {{frac|56|19}} (approx. 2.95 cycles); at 11 years, it reaches {{frac|77|19}} (approx. 4.05 cycles). These intervals represent points where the lunar-solar alignment falls just short or just past a full-integer "reset," which eventually concludes at the 19-year mark. == The New Moon Solstice == The darkest nights in the Northern Hemisphere occur when the '''December Solstice''' coincides with a '''New Moon'''. The darkest nights in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the '''June Solstice''' coincides with a '''New Moon'''. The Metonic cycle predicts this alignment every 19 years, with significant "near-matches" at the 8th- and 11th-year marks. Table 1 illustrates Metonic cycles over a one-century period (1996–2109), listing the approximate date and Bully timestamp for every New Moon during the century. Red cells indicate the New Moon Solstice alignment every 19 years. Yellow cells indicate the New Moon Solstice near-alignments on the 8th- and 11th-year marks of the Metonic cycle. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle: * July 23, 1998 New Moon on 8209 280'''0 038B''' * July 23, 2017 New Moon on 8209 280'''3 0238''' {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;

Meaning: * polished transitions * formal scholarly tone * references cleaned * argument flows cleanly * contradictions integrated smoothly * conceptual boundaries clarified At this point: 👉 the paper should begin to feel publishable. ===August 2026=== External feedback + revision. This is important. Ideally: * PI * grad student * professor * researcher Even one competent reader helps massively. This phase is usually where: * weak logic gets exposed * overclaims get corrected * structure improves dramatically ===September-October 2026=== Goal: Journal targeting + submission.

Athena problem is: Give a [[:w:Natural number|natural number]] ''b'' > 1, find the [[:w:Set (mathematics)|set]] of the [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s of the set of the "[[:w:Prime number|prime number]] [[:w:Greater than|>]] ''b''" [[:w:Numerical digit|digit]] [[:w:String (computer science)|string]]s in the [[:w:Positional numeral system|positional numeral system]] with [[:w:Radix|base]] ''b'' for the [[:w:Subsequence|subsequence]] [[:w:Partially ordered set|ordering]]. (A string ''x'' is a subsequence of another string ''y'', if ''x'' can be obtained from ''y'' by deleting zero or more of the [[:w:Character (computing)|character]]s in ''y''. For example, 514 is a subsequence of 352148, "string" is a subsequence of "meistersinger". In contrast, 758 is not a subsequence of 378259, "abc" is not a subsequence of "cbacacba", since the characters must be in the same order) (Unlike [[:w:Substring|substring]], subsequence is not required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences, e.g. the [[:w:Longest common subsequence|longest common subsequence problem]] is different from the [[:w:Longest common substring|longest common substring problem]]) Using [[:w:Formal language theory|formal language theory]] terminology, Athena problem is finding the [[:w:Set (mathematics)|set]] of the [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s of the [[:w:Formal language|language]] of base-''b'' [[:w:Representation (mathematics)|representation]]s of the [[:w:Prime number|prime number]]s [[:w:Greater than|>]] ''b'' (which is a set of [[:w:String (computer science)|string]]s of [[:w:Symbol|symbol]]s over the [[:w:Alphabet (formal languages)|alphabet]] ''Σ''<sub>''b''</sub> := {0, 1, ..., ''b''−1}), under the subsequence ordering (i.e. the [[:w:Binary relation|binary relation]] "is a subsequence of", which is a [[:w:Partially ordered set|partial ordering]]), for a given natural number ''b'' > 1. (You can draw this ordering as [[:w:Hasse diagram|Hasse diagram]] to find all [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s) By [[:w:Higman's lemma|Higman's lemma]], there are no [[:w:Infinite set|infinite]] [[:w:Antichain|antichain]]s for the subsequence ordering (i.e. the subsequence ordering is always a [[:w:Well-quasi-ordering|well quasi order]]) (i.e. under the subsequence ordering (i.e. the [[:w:Binary relation|binary relation]] "is a subsequence of", which is a [[:w:Partially ordered set|partial ordering]]), every set of pairwise incomparable (i.e. not [[:w:Comparability|comparable]]) strings is finite), thus there must be only finitely many such minimal elements. In other words, the set of such minimal elements must be a [[:w:Finite set|finite set]], e.g. in [[:w:Decimal|decimal]] (base ''b'' = 10), this set has exactly 77 [[:w:Element of a set|element]]s: {11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 227, 251, 257, 277, 281, 349, 409, 449, 499, 521, 557, 577, 587, 727, 757, 787, 821, 827, 857, 877, 881, 887, 991, 2087, 2221, 5051, 5081, 5501, 5581, 5801, 5851, 6469, 6949, 8501, 9001, 9049, 9221, 9551, 9649, 9851, 9949, 20021, 20201, 50207, 60649, 80051, 666649, 946669, 5200007, 22000001, 60000049, 66000049, 66600049, 80555551, 555555555551, 5000000000000000000000000000027}. For bases 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36, Athena problem is fully solved in bases ''b'' = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 24, and also solved in bases ''b'' = 11, 13, 16, 22, 30 if [[:w:Probable prime|probable prime]]s are allowed. For the unsolved bases ''b'' = 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, Athena problem is solved (if probable primes are allowed) except 771 [[:w:Indexed family|families]] of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be [[:w:Empty string|empty]]) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') = sequence {''xz'', ''xyz'', ''xyyz'', ''xyyyz'', ''xyyyyz'', ''xyyyyyz'', ...} (i.e. "''xy''<sup>+</sup>''z''" in [[:w:Regular expression|regular expression]]), all of these 771 families contain no primes > ''b'' or probable primes > ''b'' with length ≤ 100000. == Results == These are the results of the Athena problem in bases 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36 (we stop at base 36 since this base is the maximum base for which it is possible to write the numbers with the [[:w:Symbol|symbol]]s 0, 1, 2, ..., 9 and A, B, C, ..., Z (i.e. the 10 [[:w:Arabic numerals|Arabic numerals]] and the 26 [[:w:Latin script|Latin letters]]): (some large primes are only probable primes, i.e. not definitely primes, since they are too large to be [[:w:Elliptic curve primality|ECPP proved]] and [[:w:Pocklington primality test#Extensions and variants|neither ''N''−1 nor ''N''+1 can be ≥ 1/3 factored]], all of them pass the [[:w:Baillie–PSW primality test|Baillie–PSW primality test]] and the [[:w:Strong pseudoprime|strong primality test]] (i.e. the [[:w:Miller–Rabin primality test|Miller–Rabin primality test]]) with all prime bases ''p'' ≤ 61, however, all primes < 10<sup>25000</sup> for bases ''b'' = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 36 are definitely primes, most of them > 10<sup>299</sup> are proven primes with [[:w:Elliptic curve primality|ECPP proving]], others > 10<sup>299</sup> are proven primes with [[:w:Pocklington primality test#Extensions and variants|''N''−1 or ''N''+1 proving]]) To solve the Athena problem for a given base ''b'', we must [[:w:Computing|compute]] the element up to families of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') (we call such families ''linear families''), and find the smallest prime > ''b'' in all such families. Shrinking the family ''x''{''Y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''Y'' is a set of digits in base ''b'') * If ''y'' ∈ ''Y'' and the string ''xyyz'' represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'' (in this case, add this prime to the list) or has a subsequence which represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'', then ''x''{''Y''}''z'' can be replaced with ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''}''z'' ∪ ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''}''y''{''Y'' \ ''y''}''z''. * If ''y''<sub>1</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>2</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>1</sub> ≠ ''y''<sub>2</sub> and the string ''xy''<sub>1</sub>''y''<sub>2</sub>''z'' represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'' (in this case, add this prime to the list) or has a subsequence which represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'', then ''x''{''Y''}''z'' can be replaced with ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>1</sub>}{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>2</sub>}''z''. * If ''y''<sub>1</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>2</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>1</sub> ≠ ''y''<sub>2</sub> and both the strings ''xy''<sub>1</sub>''y''<sub>2</sub>''z'' and ''xy''<sub>2</sub>''y''<sub>1</sub>''z'' represent a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'' (in this case, add this prime to the list) or have a subsequence which represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'', then ''x''{''Y''}''z'' can be replaced with ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>1</sub>}''z'' ∪ ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>2</sub>}''z''. e.g. in decimal (base ''b'' = 10): * 2221 is a prime > 10, thus the family 2{0,2}1 splits into the two families 2{0}1 and 2{0}2{0}1. * 227 is a prime > 10, and it is a subsequence of 5227, thus the family 5{0,2}7 splits into the two families 5{0}7 and 5{0}2{0}7. * 449 is a prime > 10, and it is a subsequence of 6449, thus the family 6{0,3,4,6,9}9 splits into the two families 6{0,3,6,9}9 and 6{0,3,6,9}4{0,3,6,9}9. * Both 5051 and 5501 are primes > 10, thus the family 5{0,5}1 splits into the two families 5{0}1 and 5{5}1 = {5}1. * 8501 is a prime > 10, thus the family 8{0,5}1 splits into the family 8{0}{5}1. * 887 is a prime > 10, and it is a subsequence of 2887, also 2087 is a prime > 10, thus the family 2{0,8}7 splits into the two families 2{0}7 and 28{0}7. * 349 and 449 are primes > 10, and they are subsequences of 9349 and 9449, respectively, also 9049, 9649, 9949 are primes > 10, thus the family 9{0,3,4,6,9}9 splits into the two families 9{0,3,6,9}9 and 94{0,3,6,9}9. * 251, 281, 521, 821, 881 are primes > 10, and they are subsequences of 9251, 9281, 9521, 9821, 9881, respectively, also 9001, 9221, 9551, 9851 are primes > 10, thus the family 9{0,2,5,8}1 splits into the numbers {91, 901, 921, 951, 981, 9021, 9051, 9081, 9201, 9501, 9581, 9801, 90581, 95081, 95801}. If the methods we have discussed cannot be used to rule out or shrink ''x''{''Y''}''z'' where ''Y'' = {''y''<sub>1</sub>, ''y''<sub>2</sub>, ..., ''y''<sub>''n''</sub>}, then we can replace ''x''{''Y''}''z'' by ''xy''<sub>1</sub>{''Y''}''z'' ∪ ''xy''<sub>2</sub>{''Y''}''z'' ∪ ... ∪ ''xy''<sub>''n''</sub>{''Y''}''z'' and re-run the methods on this new [[:w:Formal language|language]]. If all remain families are linear families (i.e. of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'', where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b''), then we search the smallest (probable) primes in these families and add these primes to the list. e.g. in decimal (base ''b'' = 10): * The smallest prime in the family 5{0}27 is 5000000000000000000000000000027. * The smallest prime in the family {5}1 is 555555555551. * The smallest prime in the family 8{5}1 is 8555555555555555555551, but 8555555555555555555551 is not a minimal element since 555555555551 is a subsequence of 8555555555555555555551. There is no guarantee that the techniques discussed will ever terminate, but in practice they often do. They are able to determine the set of the minimal elements in base ''b'' for 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 16 and ''b'' = 18, 20, 22, 24, 30. The bases ''b'' = 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 29, 31 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36 are solved with the exception of 771 families of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b''). The following is a "[[:w:Semi-algorithm|semi-algorithm]]" that is guaranteed to solve the Athena problem for a given base ''b'', but it is not so easy to implement: # ''M'' = ''[[:w:Empty string|∅]]'' # while (''L'' ≠ ''∅'') do # choose ''x'', a shortest string in ''L'' # ''M'' := ''M'' ∪ {''x''} # ''L'' := ''L'' − ''sup''({''x''}) In practice, for arbitrary ''L'', we cannot feasibly carry out step 5. Instead, we work with ''L''&#39;, some regular overapproximation to ''L'', until we can show ''L''&#39; = ''∅'' (which implies ''L'' = ''∅''). In practice, ''L''&#39; is usually chosen to be a finite [[:w:Union (set theory)|union]] of sets of the form ''L''<sub>1</sub>{''L''<sub>2</sub>}''L''<sub>3</sub>, where each of ''L''<sub>1</sub>, ''L''<sub>2</sub>, ''L''<sub>3</sub> is finite. In the case we consider in this project, we then have to determine whether such a family contains a prime or not. Thus, Athena problem in bases ''b'' around 500 may be [[:w:NP-complete|NP-complete]] or [[:w:NP-hard|NP-hard]], or an [[:w:Undecidable problem|undecidable problem]], or an example of [[:w:Gödel's incompleteness theorems|Gödel's incompleteness theorems]] (like the [[:w:Continuum hypothesis|continuum hypothesis]] and the [[:w:Halting problem|halting problem]]). To solve the Athena problem, we need to determine whether a given family contains a prime. In practice, if family ''x''{''Y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''Y'' is a set of digits in base ''b'') could not be ruled out as only containing composites and ''Y'' contains two or more digits, then a relatively small prime > ''b'' could always be found in this family. Intuitively, this is because there are a large number of small strings in such a family, and at least one is likely to be prime (e.g. there are 2<sup>''n''−2</sup> strings of length ''n'' in the family 1{3,7}9, and there are over a thousand strings of length 12 in the family 1{3,7}9, thus it is very impossible that these numbers are all composite). In the case ''Y'' contains only one digit, this family is of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'', and there is only a single string of each length > (the length of ''x'' + the length of ''z''), and it is not known if the following [[:w:Decision problem|decision problem]] is recursively solvable (just like [[:w:Sierpiński number|Sierpiński problem]] and [[:w:Riesel number|Riesel problem]], Sierpiński problem and Riesel problem can be generalized to other bases ''b'', in fact, Athena problem in base ''b'' covers the Sierpiński problem in base ''b'' and the Riesel problem in base ''b'' with ''k'' < ''b'', i.e. finding the smallest prime of the form ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>−1 (or prove such prime does not exist) with ''k'' < ''b'', since the smallest prime of the form ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>−1 (if exists) must be a minimal element in base ''b''): Problem: Given strings ''x'', ''z'' (may be empty), a digit ''y'', and a base ''b'' (''x'' does not [[:w:Leading zero|start with the digit 0]], ''z'' ends with a digit which [[:w:Coprime integers|coprime]] to ''b'', ''y'' is not 0 if ''x'' is empty, ''y'' is coprime to ''b'' if ''z'' is empty), does there exist a prime number whose base-''b'' expansion is of the form ''xy''<sub>''n''</sub>''z'' for some ''n'' ≥ 0? Some families can be ruled out to contain no prime > ''b'' by [[:w:Covering set|covering congruence]], [[:w:Factorization of polynomials|algebraic factorization]] (e.g. [[:w:Difference of two squares|difference of two squares]], [[:w:Sum of two cubes|sum of two cubes]], [[:w:Sophie Germain's identity|Sophie Germain's identity of ''x''<sup>4</sup>+4×''y''<sup>4</sup>]]), or combine of them, e.g. * The base 9 family 2{7}: Always divisible by 2 or 5 * The base 16 family {8}F: Always divisible by 3, 7, or 13 * The base 21 family {7}D: Always divisible by 2, 13, or 17 * The base 23 family {D}GA: Always divisible by 2, 5, 7, 37, or 79 * The base 9 family 3{8}: Can be written as 4×9<sup>''n''</sup>−1 and can be factored as (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>−1) × (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>+1) * The base 8 family 1{0}1: Can be written as 8<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and can be factored as (2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) × (4<sup>''n''</sup>−2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) * The base 16 family {4}1: Can be written as (4×16<sup>''n''</sup>−49)/15 and can be factored as (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>−7) × (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>+7) / 15 * The base 16 family {C}D: Can be written as (4×16<sup>''n''</sup>+1)/5 and can be factored as (2×4<sup>''n''</sup>−2×2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) × (2×4<sup>''n''</sup>+2×2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) / 5 * The base 14 family 8{D}: Can be written as 9×14<sup>''n''</sup>−1, it is divisible by 5 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (3×14<sup>''n''/2</sup>−1) × (3×14<sup>''n''/2</sup>+1) if ''n'' is even * The base 12 family {B}9B: Can be written as 12<sup>''n''</sup>−25, it is divisible by 13 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (12<sup>''n''/2</sup>−5) × (12<sup>''n''/2</sup>+5) if ''n'' is even * The base 17 family 1{9}: Can be written as (25×17<sup>''n''</sup>−9)/16, it is divisible by 2 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (5×17<sup>''n''/2</sup>−3) × (5×17<sup>''n''/2</sup>+3) / 16 if ''n'' is even * The base 19 family 1{6}: Can be written as (4×19<sup>''n''</sup>−1)/3, it is divisible by 5 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (2×19<sup>''n''/2</sup>−1) × (2×19<sup>''n''/2</sup>+1) / 3 if ''n'' is even By the [[:w:Prime number theorem|prime number theorem]], the [[:w:Probability|chance]] that a [[:w:Random number|random]] ''n''-digit base ''b'' number is prime is [[:w:Asymptotic analysis|approximately]] 1/''n'' (more accurately, the chance is approximately 1/(''n''×''ln''(''b'')), where ''ln'' is the [[:w:Natural logarithm|natural logarithm]]). If one conjectures the numbers ''x''{''y''}''z'' behave similarly (i.e. the numbers ''x''{''y''}''z'' is a [[:w:Pseudorandomness|pseudorandom sequence]]) you would expect [[:w:Harmonic_series (mathematics)|1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... = ∞]] primes of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (of course, this does not always happen, since some ''x''{''y''}''z'' families can be ruled out to contain no prime > ''b'' (by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them), but it is at least a reasonable conjecture in the absence of evidence to the contrary. Hence, the [[:w:Heuristic argument|heuristic argument]] suggests there are always infinitely many primes in family ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') if it cannot be ruled out to contain no prime or only contain finitely many primes, by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them. However, some families ''x''{''y''}''z'' could not be proven to contain no primes > ''b'' (by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them) but no primes > ''b'' could be found in the family, even after searching through numbers with over 100000 digits. In such a case, the only way to proceed is to [[:w:Primality test|test the primality]] of larger and larger numbers of such form and hope a prime is eventually discovered. e.g. the smallest (probable) prime in the family A{3}A in base ''b'' = 13 is A3<sub>592197</sub>A, which written in decimal contains 659677 digits (it is only probable prime, i.e. not definitely prime). == Data == All numbers are written in base ''b'', [[:w:Senary#Base 36 as senary compression|using A to Z to represent digit values 10 to 35]], "{}" means repeating, e.g. family 12{3}45 means the sequence {1245, 12345, 123345, 1233345, 12333345, 123333345, ...} (where the members are expressed as base ''b'' strings), subscripts are used to indicate repetitions of digits, e.g. 123<sub>4</sub>567 means 123333567 (all subscripts are written in decimal).

problem in decimal (base ''b'' = 10) == '''Bold''' for the minimal elements, ''x'' ◁ ''y'' means ''x'' is a subsequence of ''y''. Assume ''p'' is a prime > 10, and the last digit of ''p'' must lie in {1,3,7,9}. Case 1: ''p'' ends with 1. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''1. If ''x'' contains 1, 3, 4, 6, or 7, then (respectively) '''11''' ◁ ''p'', '''31''' ◁ ''p'', '''41''' ◁ ''p'', '''61''' ◁ ''p'', or '''71''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 2, 5, 8, or 9. Case 1.1: ''p'' begins with 2. In this case we can write ''p'' = 2''y''1. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''251''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''281''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 29 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 2. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then '''2221''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains zero or one 2's. If ''y'' contains no 2's, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' contains exactly one 2, then we can write ''p'' = 2''z''2''w''1, where ''z'',''w'' ∈ {0}. If 0 ◁ ''z'' and 0 ◁ ''w'', then '''20201''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume either ''z'' or ''w'' is empty. If ''z'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 22{0}1, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 22{0}1 is '''22000001'''. If ''w'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}21, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 2{0}21 is '''20021'''. Case 1.2: ''p'' begins with 5. In this case we can write ''p'' = 5''y''1. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''521''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 59 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0, 5, or 8. If 05 ◁ ''y'', then '''5051''' ◁ ''p''. If 08 ◁ ''y'', then '''5081''' ◁ ''p''. If 50 ◁ ''y'', then '''5501''' ◁ ''p''. If 58 ◁ ''y'', then '''5581''' ◁ ''p''. If 80 ◁ ''y'', then '''5801''' ◁ ''p''. If 85 ◁ ''y'', then '''5851''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0} ∪ {5} ∪ {8}. If ''y'' ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 6, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' ∈ {5}, then ''p'' ∈ 5{5}1, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 5{5}1 is '''555555555551'''. If ''y'' ∈ {8}, since if 88 ◁ ''y'', then 881 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'',8}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {51,581}, but 51 and 581 are both composite. Case 1.3: ''p'' begins with 8. In this case we can write p = 8''y''1. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''821''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''881''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 89 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 5. If 50 ◁ ''y'', then '''8501''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume y ∈ {0}{5}. If 005 ◁ ''y'', then '''80051''' ◁ p. Hence we may assume y ∈ {0} ∪ {5} ∪ 0{5}. If y ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 8{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 9, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If y ∈ {5}, since if 55555555555 ◁ ''y'', then 555555555551 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'', 5, 55, 555, 5555, 55555, 555555, 5555555, 55555555, 555555555, 5555555555}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {81, 851, 8551, 85551, 855551, 8555551, 85555551, 855555551, 8555555551, 85555555551, 855555555551}, but all of these numbers are composite. If y ∈ 0{5}, since if 55555555555 ◁ ''y'', then 555555555551 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0, 05, 055, 0555, 05555, 055555, 0555555, 05555555, 055555555, 0555555555, 05555555555}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {801, 8051, 80551, 805551, 8055551, 80555551, 805555551, 8055555551, 80555555551, 805555555551, 8055555555551}, and of these numbers only 80555551 and 8055555551 are primes, but 80555551 ◁ 8055555551, thus only '''80555551''' is a minimal element. Case 1.4: ''p'' begins with 9. In this case we can write p = 9''y''1. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''991''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0, 2, 5, or 8. If 00 ◁ ''y'', then '''9001''' ◁ ''p''. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then '''9221''' ◁ ''p''. If 55 ◁ ''y'', then '''9551''' ◁ ''p''. If 88 ◁ ''y'', then 881 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains at most one 0, at most one 2, at most one 5, and at most one 8. If ''y'' only contains at most one 0 and does not contain any of {2,5,8}, then ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'',0}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {91,901}, but 91 and 901 are both composite. If ''y'' only contains at most one 0 and only one of {2,5,8}, then the sum of the digits of ''p'' is divisible by 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains at least two of {2,5,8}. If 25 ◁ ''y'', then 251 ◁ ''p''. If 28 ◁ ''y'', then 281 ◁ ''p''. If 52 ◁ ''y'', then 521 ◁ ''p''. If 82 ◁ ''y'', then 821 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains no 2's (since if ''y'' contains 2, then ''y'' cannot contain either 5's or 8's, which is a contradiction). If 85 ◁ ''y'', then '''9851''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {58,580,508,058}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {9581,95801,95081,90581}, and of these numbers only 95801 is prime, but 95801 is not a minimal element since 5801 ◁ 95801. Case 2: ''p'' ends with 3. In this case we can write p = ''x''3. If ''x'' contains 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, or 8, then (respectively) '''13''' ◁ ''p'', '''23''' ◁ ''p'', '''43''' ◁ ''p'', '''53''' ◁ ''p'', '''73''' ◁ ''p'', or '''83''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 3: ''p'' ends with 7. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''7. If ''x'' contains 1, 3, 4, 6, or 9, then (respectively) '''17''' ◁ ''p'', '''37''' ◁ ''p'', '''47''' ◁ ''p'', '''67''' ◁ ''p'', or '''97''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 2, 5, 7, or 8. Case 3.1: ''p'' begins with 2. In this case we can write ''p'' = 2''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''227''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''257''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''277''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 8. If 08 ◁ ''y'', then '''2087''' ◁ ''p''. If 88 ◁ ''y'', then 887 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0} ∪ 8{0}. If ''y'' ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 9, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If y ∈ 8{0}, then ''p'' ∈ 28{0}7. But then ''p'' is divisible by 7, since for ''n'' ≥ 0 we have 7 × 40<sub>''n''</sub>1 = 280<sub>''n''</sub>7. Case 3.2: ''p'' begins with 5. In this case we can write ''p'' = 5''y''7. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''557''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''577''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''587''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 2. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then 227 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains zero or one 2's. If ''y'' contains no 2's, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 12, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' contains exactly one 2, then we can write ''p'' = 5''z''2''w''7, where ''z'',''w'' ∈ {0}. If 0 ◁ ''z'' and 0 ◁ ''w'', then '''50207''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume either ''z'' or ''w'' is empty. If ''z'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 52{0}7, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 52{0}7 is '''5200007'''. If ''w'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}27, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 5{0}27 is '''5000000000000000000000000000027'''. Case 3.3: ''p'' begins with 7. In this case we can write ''p'' = 7''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''727''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''757''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''787''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 7, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0 or 7. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 7, ''p'' is divisible by 7, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 3.4: ''p'' begins with 8. In this case we can write ''p'' = 8''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''827''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''857''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''877''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''887''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 8{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 15, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 4: ''p'' ends with 9. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''9. If ''x'' contains 1, 2, 5, 7, or 8, then (respectively) '''19''' ◁ ''p'', '''29''' ◁ ''p'', '''59''' ◁ ''p'', '''79''' ◁ ''p'', or '''89''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 4, 6, or 9. If 44 ◁ ''x'', then '''449''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''x'' contains zero or one 4's. If x contains no 4's, then all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Hence we may assume that ''x'' contains exactly one 4. Case 4.1: ''p'' begins with 3. In this case we can write ''p'' = 3''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. We must have '''349''' ◁ ''p''. Case 4.2: ''p'' begins with 4. In this case we can write ''p'' = 4''y''9, where all digits of ''y'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''y'', then '''409''' ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''499''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {6}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 4{6}9. But then ''p'' is divisible by 7, since for ''n'' ≥ 0 we have 7 × 6<sub>''n''</sub>7 = 46<sub>''n''</sub>9. Case 4.3: ''p'' begins with 6. In this case we can write p = 6''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''z'', then 409 ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''z'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 6 ◁ ''z'', then '''6469''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''z'', then 499 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''z'' is empty. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 349 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''6949''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 6. If 06 ◁ ''y'', then '''60649''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {6}{0}. If 666 ◁ ''y'', then '''666649''' ◁ ''p''. If 00000 ◁ ''y'', then '''60000049''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'', 0, 00, 000, 0000, 6, 60, 600, 6000, 60000, 66, 660, 6600, 66000, 660000}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {649, 6049, 60049, 600049, 6000049, 6649, 66049, 660049, 6600049, 66000049, 66649, 666049, 6660049, 66600049, 666000049}, and of these numbers only '''66000049''' and '''66600049''' are primes. Case 4.4: ''p'' begins with 9. In this case we can write p = 9''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''y'', then '''9049''' ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 349 ◁ ''p''. If 6 ◁ ''y'', then '''9649''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''9949''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' is empty. If 0 ◁ ''z'', then 409 ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''z'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''z'', then 499 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''z'' ∈ {6}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 94{6}9, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 94{6}9 is 946669.

Athena problem is: Give a [[:w:Natural number|natural number]] ''b'' > 1, find the [[:w:Set (mathematics)|set]] of the [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s of the set of the "[[:w:Prime number|prime number]] [[:w:Greater than|>]] ''b''" [[:w:Numerical digit|digit]] [[:w:String (computer science)|string]]s in the [[:w:Positional numeral system|positional numeral system]] with [[:w:Radix|base]] ''b'' for the [[:w:Subsequence|subsequence]] [[:w:Partially ordered set|ordering]]. (A string ''x'' is a subsequence of another string ''y'', if ''x'' can be obtained from ''y'' by deleting zero or more of the [[:w:Character (computing)|character]]s in ''y''. For example, 514 is a subsequence of 352148, "string" is a subsequence of "meistersinger". In contrast, 758 is not a subsequence of 378259, "abc" is not a subsequence of "cbacacba", since the characters must be in the same order) (Unlike [[:w:Substring|substring]], subsequence is not required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences, e.g. the [[:w:Longest common subsequence|longest common subsequence problem]] is different from the [[:w:Longest common substring|longest common substring problem]]) Using [[:w:Formal language theory|formal language theory]] terminology, Athena problem is finding the [[:w:Set (mathematics)|set]] of the [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s of the [[:w:Formal language|language]] of base-''b'' [[:w:Representation (mathematics)|representation]]s of the [[:w:Prime number|prime number]]s [[:w:Greater than|>]] ''b'' (which is a set of [[:w:String (computer science)|string]]s of [[:w:Symbol|symbol]]s over the [[:w:Alphabet (formal languages)|alphabet]] ''Σ''<sub>''b''</sub> := {0, 1, ..., ''b''−1}), under the subsequence ordering (i.e. the [[:w:Binary relation|binary relation]] "is a subsequence of", which is a [[:w:Partially ordered set|partial ordering]]), for a given natural number ''b'' > 1. (You can draw this ordering as [[:w:Hasse diagram|Hasse diagram]] to find all [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s) By [[:w:Higman's lemma|Higman's lemma]], there are no [[:w:Infinite set|infinite]] [[:w:Antichain|antichain]]s for the subsequence ordering (i.e. the subsequence ordering is always a [[:w:Well-quasi-ordering|well quasi order]]) (i.e. under the subsequence ordering (i.e. the [[:w:Binary relation|binary relation]] "is a subsequence of", which is a [[:w:Partially ordered set|partial ordering]]), every set of pairwise incomparable (i.e. not [[:w:Comparability|comparable]]) strings is finite), thus there must be only finitely many such minimal elements. In other words, the set of such minimal elements must be a [[:w:Finite set|finite set]], e.g. in [[:w:Decimal|decimal]] (base ''b'' = 10), this set has exactly 77 [[:w:Element of a set|element]]s: {11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 227, 251, 257, 277, 281, 349, 409, 449, 499, 521, 557, 577, 587, 727, 757, 787, 821, 827, 857, 877, 881, 887, 991, 2087, 2221, 5051, 5081, 5501, 5581, 5801, 5851, 6469, 6949, 8501, 9001, 9049, 9221, 9551, 9649, 9851, 9949, 20021, 20201, 50207, 60649, 80051, 666649, 946669, 5200007, 22000001, 60000049, 66000049, 66600049, 80555551, 555555555551, 5000000000000000000000000000027}.

For the unsolved bases ''b'' = 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, Athena problem is solved (if probable primes are allowed) except 771 [[:w:Indexed family|families]] of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be [[:w:Empty string|empty]]) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') = sequence {''xz'', ''xyz'', ''xyyz'', ''xyyyz'', ''xyyyyz'', ''xyyyyyz'', ...} (i.e. "''xy''<sup>+</sup>''z''" in [[:w:Regular expression|regular expression]]), all of these 771 families contain no primes > ''b'' or probable primes > ''b'' with length ≤ 100000. == Results == To solve the Athena problem for a given base ''b'', we must [[:w:Computing|compute]] the element up to families of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') (we call such families ''linear families''), and find the smallest prime > ''b'' in all such families.

If the methods we have discussed cannot be used to rule out or shrink ''x''{''Y''}''z'' where ''Y'' = {''y''<sub>1</sub>, ''y''<sub>2</sub>, ..., ''y''<sub>''n''</sub>}, then we can replace ''x''{''Y''}''z'' by ''xy''<sub>1</sub>{''Y''}''z'' ∪ ''xy''<sub>2</sub>{''Y''}''z'' ∪ ... ∪ ''xy''<sub>''n''</sub>{''Y''}''z'' and re-run the methods on this new [[:w:Formal language|language]]. If all remain families are linear families (i.e. of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'', where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b''), then we search the smallest (probable) primes in these families and add these primes to the list. e.g. in decimal (base ''b'' = 10): * The smallest prime in the family 5{0}27 is 5000000000000000000000000000027. * The smallest prime in the family {5}1 is 555555555551. * The smallest prime in the family 8{5}1 is 8555555555555555555551, but 8555555555555555555551 is not a minimal element since 555555555551 is a subsequence of 8555555555555555555551. There is no guarantee that the techniques discussed will ever terminate, but in practice they often do. They are able to determine the set of the minimal elements in base ''b'' for 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 16 and ''b'' = 18, 20, 22, 24, 30. The bases ''b'' = 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 29, 31 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36 are solved with the exception of 771 families of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b''). The following is a "[[:w:Semi-algorithm|semi-algorithm]]" that is guaranteed to solve the Athena problem for a given base ''b'', but it is not so easy to implement: # ''M'' = ''[[:w:Empty string|∅]]'' # while (''L'' ≠ ''∅'') do # choose ''x'', a shortest string in ''L'' # ''M'' := ''M'' ∪ {''x''} # ''L'' := ''L'' − ''sup''({''x''}) In practice, for arbitrary ''L'', we cannot feasibly carry out step 5. Instead, we work with ''L''&#39;, some regular overapproximation to ''L'', until we can show ''L''&#39; = ''∅'' (which implies ''L'' = ''∅''). In practice, ''L''&#39; is usually chosen to be a finite [[:w:Union (set theory)|union]] of sets of the form ''L''<sub>1</sub>{''L''<sub>2</sub>}''L''<sub>3</sub>, where each of ''L''<sub>1</sub>, ''L''<sub>2</sub>, ''L''<sub>3</sub> is finite. In the case we consider in this project, we then have to determine whether such a family contains a prime or not. Thus, Athena problem in bases ''b'' around 500 may be [[:w:NP-complete|NP-complete]] or [[:w:NP-hard|NP-hard]], or an [[:w:Undecidable problem|undecidable problem]], or an example of [[:w:Gödel's incompleteness theorems|Gödel's incompleteness theorems]] (like the [[:w:Continuum hypothesis|continuum hypothesis]] and the [[:w:Halting problem|halting problem]]). To solve the Athena problem, we need to determine whether a given family contains a prime. In practice, if family ''x''{''Y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''Y'' is a set of digits in base ''b'') could not be ruled out as only containing composites and ''Y'' contains two or more digits, then a relatively small prime > ''b'' could always be found in this family. Intuitively, this is because there are a large number of small strings in such a family, and at least one is likely to be prime (e.g. there are 2<sup>''n''−2</sup> strings of length ''n'' in the family 1{3,7}9, and there are over a thousand strings of length 12 in the family 1{3,7}9, thus it is very impossible that these numbers are all composite). In the case ''Y'' contains only one digit, this family is of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'', and there is only a single string of each length > (the length of ''x'' + the length of ''z''), and it is not known if the following [[:w:Decision problem|decision problem]] is recursively solvable (just like [[:w:Sierpiński number|Sierpiński problem]] and [[:w:Riesel number|Riesel problem]], Sierpiński problem and Riesel problem can be generalized to other bases ''b'', in fact, Athena problem in base ''b'' covers the Sierpiński problem in base ''b'' and the Riesel problem in base ''b'' with ''k'' < ''b'', i.e. finding the smallest prime of the form ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>−1 (or prove such prime does not exist) with ''k'' < ''b'', since the smallest prime of the form ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>−1 (if exists) must be a minimal element in base ''b''): Problem: Given strings ''x'', ''z'' (may be empty), a digit ''y'', and a base ''b'' (''x'' does not [[:w:Leading zero|start with the digit 0]], ''z'' ends with a digit which [[:w:Coprime integers|coprime]] to ''b'', ''y'' is not 0 if ''x'' is empty, ''y'' is coprime to ''b'' if ''z'' is empty), does there exist a prime number whose base-''b'' expansion is of the form ''xy''<sub>''n''</sub>''z'' for some ''n'' ≥ 0? Some families can be ruled out to contain no prime > ''b'' by [[:w:Covering set|covering congruence]], [[:w:Factorization of polynomials|algebraic factorization]] (e.g. [[:w:Difference of two squares|difference of two squares]], [[:w:Sum of two cubes|sum of two cubes]], [[:w:Sophie Germain's identity|Sophie Germain's identity of ''x''<sup>4</sup>+4×''y''<sup>4</sup>]]), or combine of them, e.g. * The base 9 family 2{7}: Always divisible by 2 or 5 * The base 16 family {8}F: Always divisible by 3, 7, or 13 * The base 21 family {7}D: Always divisible by 2, 13, or 17 * The base 23 family {D}GA: Always divisible by 2, 5, 7, 37, or 79 * The base 9 family 3{8}: Can be written as 4×9<sup>''n''</sup>−1 and can be factored as (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>−1) × (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>+1) * The base 8 family 1{0}1: Can be written as 8<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and can be factored as (2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) × (4<sup>''n''</sup>−2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) * The base 16 family {4}1: Can be written as (4×16<sup>''n''</sup>−49)/15 and can be factored as (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>−7) × (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>+7) / 15 * The base 16 family {C}D: Can be written as (4×16<sup>''n''</sup>+1)/5 and can be factored as (2×4<sup>''n''</sup>−2×2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) × (2×4<sup>''n''</sup>+2×2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) / 5 * The base 14 family 8{D}: Can be written as 9×14<sup>''n''</sup>−1, it is divisible by 5 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (3×14<sup>''n''/2</sup>−1) × (3×14<sup>''n''/2</sup>+1) if ''n'' is even * The base 12 family {B}9B: Can be written as 12<sup>''n''</sup>−25, it is divisible by 13 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (12<sup>''n''/2</sup>−5) × (12<sup>''n''/2</sup>+5) if ''n'' is even * The base 17 family 1{9}: Can be written as (25×17<sup>''n''</sup>−9)/16, it is divisible by 2 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (5×17<sup>''n''/2</sup>−3) × (5×17<sup>''n''/2</sup>+3) / 16 if ''n'' is even * The base 19 family 1{6}: Can be written as (4×19<sup>''n''</sup>−1)/3, it is divisible by 5 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (2×19<sup>''n''/2</sup>−1) × (2×19<sup>''n''/2</sup>+1) / 3 if ''n'' is even By the [[:w:Prime number theorem|prime number theorem]], the [[:w:Probability|chance]] that a [[:w:Random number|random]] ''n''-digit base ''b'' number is prime is [[:w:Asymptotic analysis|approximately]] 1/''n'' (more accurately, the chance is approximately 1/(''n''×''ln''(''b'')), where ''ln'' is the [[:w:Natural logarithm|natural logarithm]]). If one conjectures the numbers ''x''{''y''}''z'' behave similarly (i.e. the numbers ''x''{''y''}''z'' is a [[:w:Pseudorandomness|pseudorandom sequence]]) you would expect [[:w:Harmonic_series (mathematics)|1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... = ∞]] primes of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (of course, this does not always happen, since some ''x''{''y''}''z'' families can be ruled out to contain no prime > ''b'' (by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them), but it is at least a reasonable conjecture in the absence of evidence to the contrary. Hence, the [[:w:Heuristic argument|heuristic argument]] suggests there are always infinitely many primes in family ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') if it cannot be ruled out to contain no prime or only contain finitely many primes, by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them. However, some families ''x''{''y''}''z'' could not be proven to contain no primes > ''b'' (by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them) but no primes > ''b'' could be found in the family, even after searching through numbers with over 100000 digits. In such a case, the only way to proceed is to [[:w:Primality test|test the primality]] of larger and larger numbers of such form and hope a prime is eventually discovered. e.g. the smallest (probable) prime in the family A{3}A in base ''b'' = 13 is A3<sub>592197</sub>A, which written in decimal contains 659677 digits (it is only probable prime, i.e. not definitely prime). == Data == All numbers are written in base ''b'', [[:w:Senary#Base 36 as senary compression|using A to Z to represent digit values 10 to 35]], "{}" means repeating, e.g. family 12{3}45 means the sequence {1245, 12345, 123345, 1233345, 12333345, 123333345, ...} (where the members are expressed as base ''b'' strings), subscripts are used to indicate repetitions of digits, e.g. 123<sub>4</sub>567 means 123333567 (all subscripts are written in decimal).

problem in decimal (base ''b'' = 10) == '''Bold''' for the minimal elements, ''x'' ◁ ''y'' means ''x'' is a subsequence of ''y''. Assume ''p'' is a prime > 10, and the last digit of ''p'' must lie in {1,3,7,9}. Case 1: ''p'' ends with 1. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''1. If ''x'' contains 1, 3, 4, 6, or 7, then (respectively) '''11''' ◁ ''p'', '''31''' ◁ ''p'', '''41''' ◁ ''p'', '''61''' ◁ ''p'', or '''71''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 2, 5, 8, or 9. Case 1.1: ''p'' begins with 2. In this case we can write ''p'' = 2''y''1. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''251''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''281''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 29 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 2. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then '''2221''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains zero or one 2's. If ''y'' contains no 2's, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' contains exactly one 2, then we can write ''p'' = 2''z''2''w''1, where ''z'',''w'' ∈ {0}. If 0 ◁ ''z'' and 0 ◁ ''w'', then '''20201''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume either ''z'' or ''w'' is empty. If ''z'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 22{0}1, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 22{0}1 is '''22000001'''. If ''w'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}21, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 2{0}21 is '''20021'''. Case 1.2: ''p'' begins with 5. In this case we can write ''p'' = 5''y''1. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''521''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 59 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0, 5, or 8. If 05 ◁ ''y'', then '''5051''' ◁ ''p''. If 08 ◁ ''y'', then '''5081''' ◁ ''p''. If 50 ◁ ''y'', then '''5501''' ◁ ''p''. If 58 ◁ ''y'', then '''5581''' ◁ ''p''. If 80 ◁ ''y'', then '''5801''' ◁ ''p''. If 85 ◁ ''y'', then '''5851''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0} ∪ {5} ∪ {8}. If ''y'' ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 6, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' ∈ {5}, then ''p'' ∈ 5{5}1, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 5{5}1 is '''555555555551'''. If ''y'' ∈ {8}, since if 88 ◁ ''y'', then 881 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'',8}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {51,581}, but 51 and 581 are both composite. Case 1.3: ''p'' begins with 8. In this case we can write p = 8''y''1. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''821''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''881''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 89 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 5. If 50 ◁ ''y'', then '''8501''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume y ∈ {0}{5}. If 005 ◁ ''y'', then '''80051''' ◁ p. Hence we may assume y ∈ {0} ∪ {5} ∪ 0{5}. If y ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 8{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 9, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If y ∈ {5}, since if 55555555555 ◁ ''y'', then 555555555551 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'', 5, 55, 555, 5555, 55555, 555555, 5555555, 55555555, 555555555, 5555555555}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {81, 851, 8551, 85551, 855551, 8555551, 85555551, 855555551, 8555555551, 85555555551, 855555555551}, but all of these numbers are composite. If y ∈ 0{5}, since if 55555555555 ◁ ''y'', then 555555555551 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0, 05, 055, 0555, 05555, 055555, 0555555, 05555555, 055555555, 0555555555, 05555555555}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {801, 8051, 80551, 805551, 8055551, 80555551, 805555551, 8055555551, 80555555551, 805555555551, 8055555555551}, and of these numbers only 80555551 and 8055555551 are primes, but 80555551 ◁ 8055555551, thus only '''80555551''' is a minimal element. Case 1.4: ''p'' begins with 9. In this case we can write p = 9''y''1. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''991''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0, 2, 5, or 8. If 00 ◁ ''y'', then '''9001''' ◁ ''p''. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then '''9221''' ◁ ''p''. If 55 ◁ ''y'', then '''9551''' ◁ ''p''. If 88 ◁ ''y'', then 881 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains at most one 0, at most one 2, at most one 5, and at most one 8. If ''y'' only contains at most one 0 and does not contain any of {2,5,8}, then ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'',0}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {91,901}, but 91 and 901 are both composite. If ''y'' only contains at most one 0 and only one of {2,5,8}, then the sum of the digits of ''p'' is divisible by 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains at least two of {2,5,8}. If 25 ◁ ''y'', then 251 ◁ ''p''. If 28 ◁ ''y'', then 281 ◁ ''p''. If 52 ◁ ''y'', then 521 ◁ ''p''. If 82 ◁ ''y'', then 821 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains no 2's (since if ''y'' contains 2, then ''y'' cannot contain either 5's or 8's, which is a contradiction). If 85 ◁ ''y'', then '''9851''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {58,580,508,058}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {9581,95801,95081,90581}, and of these numbers only 95801 is prime, but 95801 is not a minimal element since 5801 ◁ 95801. Case 2: ''p'' ends with 3. In this case we can write p = ''x''3. If ''x'' contains 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, or 8, then (respectively) '''13''' ◁ ''p'', '''23''' ◁ ''p'', '''43''' ◁ ''p'', '''53''' ◁ ''p'', '''73''' ◁ ''p'', or '''83''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 3: ''p'' ends with 7. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''7. If ''x'' contains 1, 3, 4, 6, or 9, then (respectively) '''17''' ◁ ''p'', '''37''' ◁ ''p'', '''47''' ◁ ''p'', '''67''' ◁ ''p'', or '''97''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 2, 5, 7, or 8. Case 3.1: ''p'' begins with 2. In this case we can write ''p'' = 2''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''227''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''257''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''277''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 8. If 08 ◁ ''y'', then '''2087''' ◁ ''p''. If 88 ◁ ''y'', then 887 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0} ∪ 8{0}. If ''y'' ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 9, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If y ∈ 8{0}, then ''p'' ∈ 28{0}7. But then ''p'' is divisible by 7, since for ''n'' ≥ 0 we have 7 × 40<sub>''n''</sub>1 = 280<sub>''n''</sub>7. Case 3.2: ''p'' begins with 5. In this case we can write ''p'' = 5''y''7. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''557''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''577''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''587''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 2. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then 227 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains zero or one 2's. If ''y'' contains no 2's, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 12, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' contains exactly one 2, then we can write ''p'' = 5''z''2''w''7, where ''z'',''w'' ∈ {0}. If 0 ◁ ''z'' and 0 ◁ ''w'', then '''50207''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume either ''z'' or ''w'' is empty. If ''z'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 52{0}7, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 52{0}7 is '''5200007'''. If ''w'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}27, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 5{0}27 is '''5000000000000000000000000000027'''. Case 3.3: ''p'' begins with 7. In this case we can write ''p'' = 7''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''727''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''757''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''787''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 7, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0 or 7. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 7, ''p'' is divisible by 7, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 3.4: ''p'' begins with 8. In this case we can write ''p'' = 8''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''827''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''857''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''877''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''887''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 8{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 15, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 4: ''p'' ends with 9. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''9. If ''x'' contains 1, 2, 5, 7, or 8, then (respectively) '''19''' ◁ ''p'', '''29''' ◁ ''p'', '''59''' ◁ ''p'', '''79''' ◁ ''p'', or '''89''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 4, 6, or 9. If 44 ◁ ''x'', then '''449''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''x'' contains zero or one 4's. If x contains no 4's, then all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Hence we may assume that ''x'' contains exactly one 4. Case 4.1: ''p'' begins with 3. In this case we can write ''p'' = 3''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. We must have '''349''' ◁ ''p''. Case 4.2: ''p'' begins with 4. In this case we can write ''p'' = 4''y''9, where all digits of ''y'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''y'', then '''409''' ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''499''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {6}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 4{6}9. But then ''p'' is divisible by 7, since for ''n'' ≥ 0 we have 7 × 6<sub>''n''</sub>7 = 46<sub>''n''</sub>9. Case 4.3: ''p'' begins with 6. In this case we can write p = 6''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''z'', then 409 ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''z'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 6 ◁ ''z'', then '''6469''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''z'', then 499 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''z'' is empty. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 349 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''6949''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 6. If 06 ◁ ''y'', then '''60649''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {6}{0}. If 666 ◁ ''y'', then '''666649''' ◁ ''p''. If 00000 ◁ ''y'', then '''60000049''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'', 0, 00, 000, 0000, 6, 60, 600, 6000, 60000, 66, 660, 6600, 66000, 660000}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {649, 6049, 60049, 600049, 6000049, 6649, 66049, 660049, 6600049, 66000049, 66649, 666049, 6660049, 66600049, 666000049}, and of these numbers only '''66000049''' and '''66600049''' are primes. Case 4.4: ''p'' begins with 9. In this case we can write p = 9''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''y'', then '''9049''' ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 349 ◁ ''p''. If 6 ◁ ''y'', then '''9649''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''9949''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' is empty. If 0 ◁ ''z'', then 409 ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''z'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''z'', then 499 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''z'' ∈ {6}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 94{6}9, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 94{6}9 is 946669.

Athena problem is: Give a [[:w:Natural number|natural number]] ''b'' > 1, find the [[:w:Set (mathematics)|set]] of the [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s of the set of the "[[:w:Prime number|prime number]] [[:w:Greater than|>]] ''b''" [[:w:Numerical digit|digit]] [[:w:String (computer science)|string]]s in the [[:w:Positional numeral system|positional numeral system]] with [[:w:Radix|base]] ''b'' for the [[:w:Subsequence|subsequence]] [[:w:Partially ordered set|ordering]]. (A string ''x'' is a subsequence of another string ''y'', if ''x'' can be obtained from ''y'' by deleting zero or more of the [[:w:Character (computing)|character]]s in ''y''. For example, 514 is a subsequence of 352148, "string" is a subsequence of "meistersinger". In contrast, 758 is not a subsequence of 378259, "abc" is not a subsequence of "cbacacba", since the characters must be in the same order) (Unlike [[:w:Substring|substring]], subsequence is not required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences, e.g. the [[:w:Longest common subsequence|longest common subsequence problem]] is different from the [[:w:Longest common substring|longest common substring problem]]) Using [[:w:Formal language theory|formal language theory]] terminology, Athena problem is finding the [[:w:Set (mathematics)|set]] of the [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s of the [[:w:Formal language|language]] of base-''b'' [[:w:Representation (mathematics)|representation]]s of the [[:w:Prime number|prime number]]s [[:w:Greater than|>]] ''b'' (which is a set of [[:w:String (computer science)|string]]s of [[:w:Symbol|symbol]]s over the [[:w:Alphabet (formal languages)|alphabet]] ''Σ''<sub>''b''</sub> := {0, 1, ..., ''b''−1}), under the subsequence ordering (i.e. the [[:w:Binary relation|binary relation]] "is a subsequence of", which is a [[:w:Partially ordered set|partial ordering]]), for a given natural number ''b'' > 1. (You can draw this ordering as [[:w:Hasse diagram|Hasse diagram]] to find all [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s) By [[:w:Higman's lemma|Higman's lemma]], there are no [[:w:Infinite set|infinite]] [[:w:Antichain|antichain]]s for the subsequence ordering (i.e. the subsequence ordering is always a [[:w:Well-quasi-ordering|well quasi order]]) (i.e. under the subsequence ordering (i.e. the [[:w:Binary relation|binary relation]] "is a subsequence of", which is a [[:w:Partially ordered set|partial ordering]]), every set of pairwise incomparable (i.e. not [[:w:Comparability|comparable]]) strings is finite), thus there must be only finitely many such minimal elements. In other words, the set of such minimal elements must be a [[:w:Finite set|finite set]], e.g. in [[:w:Decimal|decimal]] (base ''b'' = 10), this set has exactly 77 [[:w:Element of a set|element]]s: {11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 227, 251, 257, 277, 281, 349, 409, 449, 499, 521, 557, 577, 587, 727, 757, 787, 821, 827, 857, 877, 881, 887, 991, 2087, 2221, 5051, 5081, 5501, 5581, 5801, 5851, 6469, 6949, 8501, 9001, 9049, 9221, 9551, 9649, 9851, 9949, 20021, 20201, 50207, 60649, 80051, 666649, 946669, 5200007, 22000001, 60000049, 66000049, 66600049, 80555551, 555555555551, 5000000000000000000000000000027}. For bases 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36, Athena problem is fully solved in bases ''b'' = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 24, and also solved in bases ''b'' = 11, 13, 16, 22, 30 if [[:w:Probable prime|probable prime]]s are allowed. For the unsolved bases ''b'' = 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, Athena problem is solved (if probable primes are allowed) except 771 [[:w:Indexed family|families]] of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be [[:w:Empty string|empty]]) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') = sequence {''xz'', ''xyz'', ''xyyz'', ''xyyyz'', ''xyyyyz'', ''xyyyyyz'', ...} (i.e. "''xy''<sup>+</sup>''z''" in [[:w:Regular expression|regular expression]]), all of these 771 families contain no primes > ''b'' or probable primes > ''b'' with length ≤ 100000. == Results == To solve the Athena problem for a given base ''b'', we must [[:w:Computing|compute]] the element up to families of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') (we call such families ''linear families''), and find the smallest prime > ''b'' in all such families. Shrinking the family ''x''{''Y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''Y'' is a set of digits in base ''b'') * If ''y'' ∈ ''Y'' and the string ''xyyz'' represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'' (in this case, add this prime to the list) or has a subsequence which represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'', then ''x''{''Y''}''z'' can be replaced with ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''}''z'' ∪ ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''}''y''{''Y'' \ ''y''}''z''. * If ''y''<sub>1</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>2</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>1</sub> ≠ ''y''<sub>2</sub> and the string ''xy''<sub>1</sub>''y''<sub>2</sub>''z'' represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'' (in this case, add this prime to the list) or has a subsequence which represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'', then ''x''{''Y''}''z'' can be replaced with ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>1</sub>}{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>2</sub>}''z''. * If ''y''<sub>1</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>2</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>1</sub> ≠ ''y''<sub>2</sub> and both the strings ''xy''<sub>1</sub>''y''<sub>2</sub>''z'' and ''xy''<sub>2</sub>''y''<sub>1</sub>''z'' represent a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'' (in this case, add this prime to the list) or have a subsequence which represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'', then ''x''{''Y''}''z'' can be replaced with ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>1</sub>}''z'' ∪ ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>2</sub>}''z''. e.g. in decimal (base ''b'' = 10): * 2221 is a prime > 10, thus the family 2{0,2}1 splits into the two families 2{0}1 and 2{0}2{0}1. * 227 is a prime > 10, and it is a subsequence of 5227, thus the family 5{0,2}7 splits into the two families 5{0}7 and 5{0}2{0}7. * 449 is a prime > 10, and it is a subsequence of 6449, thus the family 6{0,3,4,6,9}9 splits into the two families 6{0,3,6,9}9 and 6{0,3,6,9}4{0,3,6,9}9. * Both 5051 and 5501 are primes > 10, thus the family 5{0,5}1 splits into the two families 5{0}1 and 5{5}1 = {5}1. * 8501 is a prime > 10, thus the family 8{0,5}1 splits into the family 8{0}{5}1. * 887 is a prime > 10, and it is a subsequence of 2887, also 2087 is a prime > 10, thus the family 2{0,8}7 splits into the two families 2{0}7 and 28{0}7. * 349 and 449 are primes > 10, and they are subsequences of 9349 and 9449, respectively, also 9049, 9649, 9949 are primes > 10, thus the family 9{0,3,4,6,9}9 splits into the two families 9{0,3,6,9}9 and 94{0,3,6,9}9. * 251, 281, 521, 821, 881 are primes > 10, and they are subsequences of 9251, 9281, 9521, 9821, 9881, respectively, also 9001, 9221, 9551, 9851 are primes > 10, thus the family 9{0,2,5,8}1 splits into the numbers {91, 901, 921, 951, 981, 9021, 9051, 9081, 9201, 9501, 9581, 9801, 90581, 95081, 95801}. If the methods we have discussed cannot be used to rule out or shrink ''x''{''Y''}''z'' where ''Y'' = {''y''<sub>1</sub>, ''y''<sub>2</sub>, ..., ''y''<sub>''n''</sub>}, then we can replace ''x''{''Y''}''z'' by ''xy''<sub>1</sub>{''Y''}''z'' ∪ ''xy''<sub>2</sub>{''Y''}''z'' ∪ ... ∪ ''xy''<sub>''n''</sub>{''Y''}''z'' and re-run the methods on this new [[:w:Formal language|language]]. If all remain families are linear families (i.e. of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'', where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b''), then we search the smallest (probable) primes in these families and add these primes to the list. e.g. in decimal (base ''b'' = 10): * The smallest prime in the family 5{0}27 is 5000000000000000000000000000027. * The smallest prime in the family {5}1 is 555555555551. * The smallest prime in the family 8{5}1 is 8555555555555555555551, but 8555555555555555555551 is not a minimal element since 555555555551 is a subsequence of 8555555555555555555551. There is no guarantee that the techniques discussed will ever terminate, but in practice they often do. They are able to determine the set of the minimal elements in base ''b'' for 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 16 and ''b'' = 18, 20, 22, 24, 30. The bases ''b'' = 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 29, 31 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36 are solved with the exception of 771 families of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b''). The following is a "[[:w:Semi-algorithm|semi-algorithm]]" that is guaranteed to solve the Athena problem for a given base ''b'', but it is not so easy to implement: # ''M'' = ''[[:w:Empty string|∅]]'' # while (''L'' ≠ ''∅'') do # choose ''x'', a shortest string in ''L'' # ''M'' := ''M'' ∪ {''x''} # ''L'' := ''L'' − ''sup''({''x''}) In practice, for arbitrary ''L'', we cannot feasibly carry out step 5. Instead, we work with ''L''&#39;, some regular overapproximation to ''L'', until we can show ''L''&#39; = ''∅'' (which implies ''L'' = ''∅''). In practice, ''L''&#39; is usually chosen to be a finite [[:w:Union (set theory)|union]] of sets of the form ''L''<sub>1</sub>{''L''<sub>2</sub>}''L''<sub>3</sub>, where each of ''L''<sub>1</sub>, ''L''<sub>2</sub>, ''L''<sub>3</sub> is finite. In the case we consider in this project, we then have to determine whether such a family contains a prime or not. Thus, Athena problem in bases ''b'' around 500 may be [[:w:NP-complete|NP-complete]] or [[:w:NP-hard|NP-hard]], or an [[:w:Undecidable problem|undecidable problem]], or an example of [[:w:Gödel's incompleteness theorems|Gödel's incompleteness theorems]] (like the [[:w:Continuum hypothesis|continuum hypothesis]] and the [[:w:Halting problem|halting problem]]). To solve the Athena problem, we need to determine whether a given family contains a prime. In practice, if family ''x''{''Y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''Y'' is a set of digits in base ''b'') could not be ruled out as only containing composites and ''Y'' contains two or more digits, then a relatively small prime > ''b'' could always be found in this family. Intuitively, this is because there are a large number of small strings in such a family, and at least one is likely to be prime (e.g. there are 2<sup>''n''−2</sup> strings of length ''n'' in the family 1{3,7}9, and there are over a thousand strings of length 12 in the family 1{3,7}9, thus it is very impossible that these numbers are all composite). In the case ''Y'' contains only one digit, this family is of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'', and there is only a single string of each length > (the length of ''x'' + the length of ''z''), and it is not known if the following [[:w:Decision problem|decision problem]] is recursively solvable (just like [[:w:Sierpiński number|Sierpiński problem]] and [[:w:Riesel number|Riesel problem]], Sierpiński problem and Riesel problem can be generalized to other bases ''b'', in fact, Athena problem in base ''b'' covers the Sierpiński problem in base ''b'' and the Riesel problem in base ''b'' with ''k'' < ''b'', i.e. finding the smallest prime of the form ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>−1 (or prove such prime does not exist) with ''k'' < ''b'', since the smallest prime of the form ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>−1 (if exists) must be a minimal element in base ''b''): Problem: Given strings ''x'', ''z'' (may be empty), a digit ''y'', and a base ''b'' (''x'' does not [[:w:Leading zero|start with the digit 0]], ''z'' ends with a digit which [[:w:Coprime integers|coprime]] to ''b'', ''y'' is not 0 if ''x'' is empty, ''y'' is coprime to ''b'' if ''z'' is empty), does there exist a prime number whose base-''b'' expansion is of the form ''xy''<sub>''n''</sub>''z'' for some ''n'' ≥ 0? Some families can be ruled out to contain no prime > ''b'' by [[:w:Covering set|covering congruence]], [[:w:Factorization of polynomials|algebraic factorization]] (e.g. [[:w:Difference of two squares|difference of two squares]], [[:w:Sum of two cubes|sum of two cubes]], [[:w:Sophie Germain's identity|Sophie Germain's identity of ''x''<sup>4</sup>+4×''y''<sup>4</sup>]]), or combine of them, e.g. * The base 9 family 2{7}: Always divisible by 2 or 5 * The base 16 family {8}F: Always divisible by 3, 7, or 13 * The base 21 family {7}D: Always divisible by 2, 13, or 17 * The base 23 family {D}GA: Always divisible by 2, 5, 7, 37, or 79 * The base 9 family 3{8}: Can be written as 4×9<sup>''n''</sup>−1 and can be factored as (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>−1) × (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>+1) * The base 8 family 1{0}1: Can be written as 8<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and can be factored as (2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) × (4<sup>''n''</sup>−2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) * The base 16 family {4}1: Can be written as (4×16<sup>''n''</sup>−49)/15 and can be factored as (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>−7) × (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>+7) / 15 * The base 16 family {C}D: Can be written as (4×16<sup>''n''</sup>+1)/5 and can be factored as (2×4<sup>''n''</sup>−2×2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) × (2×4<sup>''n''</sup>+2×2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) / 5 * The base 14 family 8{D}: Can be written as 9×14<sup>''n''</sup>−1, it is divisible by 5 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (3×14<sup>''n''/2</sup>−1) × (3×14<sup>''n''/2</sup>+1) if ''n'' is even * The base 12 family {B}9B: Can be written as 12<sup>''n''</sup>−25, it is divisible by 13 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (12<sup>''n''/2</sup>−5) × (12<sup>''n''/2</sup>+5) if ''n'' is even * The base 17 family 1{9}: Can be written as (25×17<sup>''n''</sup>−9)/16, it is divisible by 2 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (5×17<sup>''n''/2</sup>−3) × (5×17<sup>''n''/2</sup>+3) / 16 if ''n'' is even * The base 19 family 1{6}: Can be written as (4×19<sup>''n''</sup>−1)/3, it is divisible by 5 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (2×19<sup>''n''/2</sup>−1) × (2×19<sup>''n''/2</sup>+1) / 3 if ''n'' is even By the [[:w:Prime number theorem|prime number theorem]], the [[:w:Probability|chance]] that a [[:w:Random number|random]] ''n''-digit base ''b'' number is prime is [[:w:Asymptotic analysis|approximately]] 1/''n'' (more accurately, the chance is approximately 1/(''n''×''ln''(''b'')), where ''ln'' is the [[:w:Natural logarithm|natural logarithm]]). If one conjectures the numbers ''x''{''y''}''z'' behave similarly (i.e. the numbers ''x''{''y''}''z'' is a [[:w:Pseudorandomness|pseudorandom sequence]]) you would expect [[:w:Harmonic_series (mathematics)|1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... = ∞]] primes of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (of course, this does not always happen, since some ''x''{''y''}''z'' families can be ruled out to contain no prime > ''b'' (by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them), but it is at least a reasonable conjecture in the absence of evidence to the contrary. Hence, the [[:w:Heuristic argument|heuristic argument]] suggests there are always infinitely many primes in family ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') if it cannot be ruled out to contain no prime or only contain finitely many primes, by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them. However, some families ''x''{''y''}''z'' could not be proven to contain no primes > ''b'' (by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them) but no primes > ''b'' could be found in the family, even after searching through numbers with over 100000 digits. In such a case, the only way to proceed is to [[:w:Primality test|test the primality]] of larger and larger numbers of such form and hope a prime is eventually discovered. e.g. the smallest (probable) prime in the family A{3}A in base ''b'' = 13 is A3<sub>592197</sub>A, which written in decimal contains 659677 digits (it is only probable prime, i.e. not definitely prime). == Data == These are the results of the Athena problem in bases 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36 (we stop at base 36 since this base is the maximum base for which it is possible to write the numbers with the [[:w:Symbol|symbol]]s 0, 1, 2, ..., 9 and A, B, C, ..., Z (i.e. the 10 [[:w:Arabic numerals|Arabic numerals]] and the 26 [[:w:Latin script|Latin letters]]): (some large primes are only probable primes, i.e. not definitely primes, since they are too large to be [[:w:Elliptic curve primality|ECPP proved]] and [[:w:Pocklington primality test#Extensions and variants|neither ''N''−1 nor ''N''+1 can be ≥ 1/3 factored]], all of them pass the [[:w:Baillie–PSW primality test|Baillie–PSW primality test]] and the [[:w:Strong pseudoprime|strong primality test]] (i.e. the [[:w:Miller–Rabin primality test|Miller–Rabin primality test]]) with all prime bases ''p'' ≤ 61, however, all primes < 10<sup>25000</sup> for bases ''b'' = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 36 are definitely primes, most of them > 10<sup>299</sup> are proven primes with [[:w:Elliptic curve primality|ECPP proving]], others > 10<sup>299</sup> are proven primes with [[:w:Pocklington primality test#Extensions and variants|''N''−1 or ''N''+1 proving]]) All numbers are written in base ''b'', [[:w:Senary#Base 36 as senary compression|using A to Z to represent digit values 10 to 35]], "{}" means repeating, e.g. family 12{3}45 means the sequence {1245, 12345, 123345, 1233345, 12333345, 123333345, ...} (where the members are expressed as base ''b'' strings), subscripts are used to indicate repetitions of digits, e.g. 123<sub>4</sub>567 means 123333567 (all subscripts are written in decimal).

problem in decimal (base ''b'' = 10) == '''Bold''' for the minimal elements, ''x'' ◁ ''y'' means ''x'' is a subsequence of ''y''. Assume ''p'' is a prime > 10, and the last digit of ''p'' must lie in {1,3,7,9}. Case 1: ''p'' ends with 1. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''1. If ''x'' contains 1, 3, 4, 6, or 7, then (respectively) '''11''' ◁ ''p'', '''31''' ◁ ''p'', '''41''' ◁ ''p'', '''61''' ◁ ''p'', or '''71''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 2, 5, 8, or 9. Case 1.1: ''p'' begins with 2. In this case we can write ''p'' = 2''y''1. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''251''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''281''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 29 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 2. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then '''2221''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains zero or one 2's. If ''y'' contains no 2's, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' contains exactly one 2, then we can write ''p'' = 2''z''2''w''1, where ''z'',''w'' ∈ {0}. If 0 ◁ ''z'' and 0 ◁ ''w'', then '''20201''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume either ''z'' or ''w'' is empty. If ''z'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 22{0}1, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 22{0}1 is '''22000001'''. If ''w'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}21, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 2{0}21 is '''20021'''. Case 1.2: ''p'' begins with 5. In this case we can write ''p'' = 5''y''1. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''521''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 59 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0, 5, or 8. If 05 ◁ ''y'', then '''5051''' ◁ ''p''. If 08 ◁ ''y'', then '''5081''' ◁ ''p''. If 50 ◁ ''y'', then '''5501''' ◁ ''p''. If 58 ◁ ''y'', then '''5581''' ◁ ''p''. If 80 ◁ ''y'', then '''5801''' ◁ ''p''. If 85 ◁ ''y'', then '''5851''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0} ∪ {5} ∪ {8}. If ''y'' ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 6, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' ∈ {5}, then ''p'' ∈ 5{5}1, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 5{5}1 is '''555555555551'''. If ''y'' ∈ {8}, since if 88 ◁ ''y'', then 881 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'',8}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {51,581}, but 51 and 581 are both composite. Case 1.3: ''p'' begins with 8. In this case we can write p = 8''y''1. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''821''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''881''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 89 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 5. If 50 ◁ ''y'', then '''8501''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume y ∈ {0}{5}. If 005 ◁ ''y'', then '''80051''' ◁ p. Hence we may assume y ∈ {0} ∪ {5} ∪ 0{5}. If y ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 8{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 9, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If y ∈ {5}, since if 55555555555 ◁ ''y'', then 555555555551 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'', 5, 55, 555, 5555, 55555, 555555, 5555555, 55555555, 555555555, 5555555555}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {81, 851, 8551, 85551, 855551, 8555551, 85555551, 855555551, 8555555551, 85555555551, 855555555551}, but all of these numbers are composite. If y ∈ 0{5}, since if 55555555555 ◁ ''y'', then 555555555551 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0, 05, 055, 0555, 05555, 055555, 0555555, 05555555, 055555555, 0555555555, 05555555555}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {801, 8051, 80551, 805551, 8055551, 80555551, 805555551, 8055555551, 80555555551, 805555555551, 8055555555551}, and of these numbers only 80555551 and 8055555551 are primes, but 80555551 ◁ 8055555551, thus only '''80555551''' is a minimal element. Case 1.4: ''p'' begins with 9. In this case we can write p = 9''y''1. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''991''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0, 2, 5, or 8. If 00 ◁ ''y'', then '''9001''' ◁ ''p''. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then '''9221''' ◁ ''p''. If 55 ◁ ''y'', then '''9551''' ◁ ''p''. If 88 ◁ ''y'', then 881 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains at most one 0, at most one 2, at most one 5, and at most one 8. If ''y'' only contains at most one 0 and does not contain any of {2,5,8}, then ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'',0}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {91,901}, but 91 and 901 are both composite. If ''y'' only contains at most one 0 and only one of {2,5,8}, then the sum of the digits of ''p'' is divisible by 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains at least two of {2,5,8}. If 25 ◁ ''y'', then 251 ◁ ''p''. If 28 ◁ ''y'', then 281 ◁ ''p''. If 52 ◁ ''y'', then 521 ◁ ''p''. If 82 ◁ ''y'', then 821 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains no 2's (since if ''y'' contains 2, then ''y'' cannot contain either 5's or 8's, which is a contradiction). If 85 ◁ ''y'', then '''9851''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {58,580,508,058}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {9581,95801,95081,90581}, and of these numbers only 95801 is prime, but 95801 is not a minimal element since 5801 ◁ 95801. Case 2: ''p'' ends with 3. In this case we can write p = ''x''3. If ''x'' contains 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, or 8, then (respectively) '''13''' ◁ ''p'', '''23''' ◁ ''p'', '''43''' ◁ ''p'', '''53''' ◁ ''p'', '''73''' ◁ ''p'', or '''83''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 3: ''p'' ends with 7. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''7. If ''x'' contains 1, 3, 4, 6, or 9, then (respectively) '''17''' ◁ ''p'', '''37''' ◁ ''p'', '''47''' ◁ ''p'', '''67''' ◁ ''p'', or '''97''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 2, 5, 7, or 8. Case 3.1: ''p'' begins with 2. In this case we can write ''p'' = 2''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''227''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''257''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''277''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 8. If 08 ◁ ''y'', then '''2087''' ◁ ''p''. If 88 ◁ ''y'', then 887 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0} ∪ 8{0}. If ''y'' ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 9, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If y ∈ 8{0}, then ''p'' ∈ 28{0}7. But then ''p'' is divisible by 7, since for ''n'' ≥ 0 we have 7 × 40<sub>''n''</sub>1 = 280<sub>''n''</sub>7. Case 3.2: ''p'' begins with 5. In this case we can write ''p'' = 5''y''7. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''557''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''577''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''587''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 2. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then 227 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains zero or one 2's. If ''y'' contains no 2's, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 12, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' contains exactly one 2, then we can write ''p'' = 5''z''2''w''7, where ''z'',''w'' ∈ {0}. If 0 ◁ ''z'' and 0 ◁ ''w'', then '''50207''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume either ''z'' or ''w'' is empty. If ''z'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 52{0}7, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 52{0}7 is '''5200007'''. If ''w'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}27, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 5{0}27 is '''5000000000000000000000000000027'''. Case 3.3: ''p'' begins with 7. In this case we can write ''p'' = 7''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''727''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''757''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''787''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 7, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0 or 7. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 7, ''p'' is divisible by 7, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 3.4: ''p'' begins with 8. In this case we can write ''p'' = 8''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''827''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''857''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''877''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''887''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 8{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 15, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 4: ''p'' ends with 9. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''9. If ''x'' contains 1, 2, 5, 7, or 8, then (respectively) '''19''' ◁ ''p'', '''29''' ◁ ''p'', '''59''' ◁ ''p'', '''79''' ◁ ''p'', or '''89''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 4, 6, or 9. If 44 ◁ ''x'', then '''449''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''x'' contains zero or one 4's. If x contains no 4's, then all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Hence we may assume that ''x'' contains exactly one 4. Case 4.1: ''p'' begins with 3. In this case we can write ''p'' = 3''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. We must have '''349''' ◁ ''p''. Case 4.2: ''p'' begins with 4. In this case we can write ''p'' = 4''y''9, where all digits of ''y'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''y'', then '''409''' ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''499''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {6}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 4{6}9. But then ''p'' is divisible by 7, since for ''n'' ≥ 0 we have 7 × 6<sub>''n''</sub>7 = 46<sub>''n''</sub>9. Case 4.3: ''p'' begins with 6. In this case we can write p = 6''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''z'', then 409 ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''z'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 6 ◁ ''z'', then '''6469''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''z'', then 499 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''z'' is empty. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 349 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''6949''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 6. If 06 ◁ ''y'', then '''60649''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {6}{0}. If 666 ◁ ''y'', then '''666649''' ◁ ''p''. If 00000 ◁ ''y'', then '''60000049''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'', 0, 00, 000, 0000, 6, 60, 600, 6000, 60000, 66, 660, 6600, 66000, 660000}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {649, 6049, 60049, 600049, 6000049, 6649, 66049, 660049, 6600049, 66000049, 66649, 666049, 6660049, 66600049, 666000049}, and of these numbers only '''66000049''' and '''66600049''' are primes. Case 4.4: ''p'' begins with 9. In this case we can write p = 9''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''y'', then '''9049''' ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 349 ◁ ''p''. If 6 ◁ ''y'', then '''9649''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''9949''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' is empty. If 0 ◁ ''z'', then 409 ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''z'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''z'', then 499 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''z'' ∈ {6}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 94{6}9, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 94{6}9 is 946669.

Athena problem is: Give a [[:w:Natural number|natural number]] ''b'' > 1, find the [[:w:Set (mathematics)|set]] of the [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s of the set of the "[[:w:Prime number|prime number]] [[:w:Greater than|>]] ''b''" [[:w:Numerical digit|digit]] [[:w:String (computer science)|string]]s in the [[:w:Positional numeral system|positional numeral system]] with [[:w:Radix|base]] ''b'' for the [[:w:Subsequence|subsequence]] [[:w:Partially ordered set|ordering]]. (A string ''x'' is a subsequence of another string ''y'', if ''x'' can be obtained from ''y'' by deleting zero or more of the [[:w:Character (computing)|character]]s in ''y''. For example, 514 is a subsequence of 352148, "string" is a subsequence of "meistersinger". In contrast, 758 is not a subsequence of 378259, "abc" is not a subsequence of "cbacacba", since the characters must be in the same order) (Unlike [[:w:Substring|substring]], subsequence is not required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences, e.g. the [[:w:Longest common subsequence|longest common subsequence problem]] is different from the [[:w:Longest common substring|longest common substring problem]]) Using [[:w:Formal language theory|formal language theory]] terminology, Athena problem is finding the [[:w:Set (mathematics)|set]] of the [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s of the [[:w:Formal language|language]] of base-''b'' [[:w:Representation (mathematics)|representation]]s of the [[:w:Prime number|prime number]]s [[:w:Greater than|>]] ''b'' (which is a set of [[:w:String (computer science)|string]]s of [[:w:Symbol|symbol]]s over the [[:w:Alphabet (formal languages)|alphabet]] ''Σ''<sub>''b''</sub> := {0, 1, ..., ''b''−1}), under the subsequence ordering (i.e. the [[:w:Binary relation|binary relation]] "is a subsequence of", which is a [[:w:Partially ordered set|partial ordering]]), for a given natural number ''b'' > 1. (You can draw this partial ordering as [[:w:Hasse diagram|Hasse diagram]] to find all [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s) By [[:w:Higman's lemma|Higman's lemma]], there are no [[:w:Infinite set|infinite]] [[:w:Antichain|antichain]]s for the subsequence ordering (i.e. the subsequence ordering is always a [[:w:Well-quasi-ordering|well quasi order]]) (i.e. under the subsequence ordering (i.e. the [[:w:Binary relation|binary relation]] "is a subsequence of", which is a [[:w:Partially ordered set|partial ordering]]), every set of pairwise incomparable (i.e. not [[:w:Comparability|comparable]]) strings is finite), thus there must be only finitely many such minimal elements. In other words, the set of such minimal elements must be a [[:w:Finite set|finite set]], e.g. in [[:w:Decimal|decimal]] (base ''b'' = 10), this set has exactly 77 [[:w:Element of a set|element]]s: {11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 227, 251, 257, 277, 281, 349, 409, 449, 499, 521, 557, 577, 587, 727, 757, 787, 821, 827, 857, 877, 881, 887, 991, 2087, 2221, 5051, 5081, 5501, 5581, 5801, 5851, 6469, 6949, 8501, 9001, 9049, 9221, 9551, 9649, 9851, 9949, 20021, 20201, 50207, 60649, 80051, 666649, 946669, 5200007, 22000001, 60000049, 66000049, 66600049, 80555551, 555555555551, 5000000000000000000000000000027}. For bases 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36, Athena problem is fully solved in bases ''b'' = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 18, 20, 24, and also solved in bases ''b'' = 11, 13, 16, 22, 30 if [[:w:Probable prime|probable prime]]s are allowed. For the unsolved bases ''b'' = 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, Athena problem is solved (if probable primes are allowed) except 771 [[:w:Indexed family|families]] of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be [[:w:Empty string|empty]]) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') = sequence {''xz'', ''xyz'', ''xyyz'', ''xyyyz'', ''xyyyyz'', ''xyyyyyz'', ...} (i.e. "''xy''<sup>+</sup>''z''" in [[:w:Regular expression|regular expression]]), all of these 771 families contain no primes > ''b'' or probable primes > ''b'' with length ≤ 100000. == Results == To solve the Athena problem for a given base ''b'', we must [[:w:Computing|compute]] the element up to families of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') (we call such families ''linear families''), and find the smallest prime > ''b'' in all such families. Shrinking the family ''x''{''Y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''Y'' is a set of digits in base ''b'') * If ''y'' ∈ ''Y'' and the string ''xyyz'' represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'' (in this case, add this prime to the list) or has a subsequence which represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'', then ''x''{''Y''}''z'' can be replaced with ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''}''z'' ∪ ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''}''y''{''Y'' \ ''y''}''z''. * If ''y''<sub>1</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>2</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>1</sub> ≠ ''y''<sub>2</sub> and the string ''xy''<sub>1</sub>''y''<sub>2</sub>''z'' represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'' (in this case, add this prime to the list) or has a subsequence which represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'', then ''x''{''Y''}''z'' can be replaced with ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>1</sub>}{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>2</sub>}''z''. * If ''y''<sub>1</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>2</sub> ∈ ''Y'' and ''y''<sub>1</sub> ≠ ''y''<sub>2</sub> and both the strings ''xy''<sub>1</sub>''y''<sub>2</sub>''z'' and ''xy''<sub>2</sub>''y''<sub>1</sub>''z'' represent a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'' (in this case, add this prime to the list) or have a subsequence which represents a prime > ''b'' in base ''b'', then ''x''{''Y''}''z'' can be replaced with ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>1</sub>}''z'' ∪ ''x''{''Y'' \ ''y''<sub>2</sub>}''z''. e.g. in decimal (base ''b'' = 10): * 2221 is a prime > 10, thus the family 2{0,2}1 splits into the two families 2{0}1 and 2{0}2{0}1. * 227 is a prime > 10, and it is a subsequence of 5227, thus the family 5{0,2}7 splits into the two families 5{0}7 and 5{0}2{0}7. * 449 is a prime > 10, and it is a subsequence of 6449, thus the family 6{0,3,4,6,9}9 splits into the two families 6{0,3,6,9}9 and 6{0,3,6,9}4{0,3,6,9}9. * Both 5051 and 5501 are primes > 10, thus the family 5{0,5}1 splits into the two families 5{0}1 and 5{5}1 = {5}1. * 8501 is a prime > 10, thus the family 8{0,5}1 splits into the family 8{0}{5}1. * 887 is a prime > 10, and it is a subsequence of 2887, also 2087 is a prime > 10, thus the family 2{0,8}7 splits into the two families 2{0}7 and 28{0}7. * 349 and 449 are primes > 10, and they are subsequences of 9349 and 9449, respectively, also 9049, 9649, 9949 are primes > 10, thus the family 9{0,3,4,6,9}9 splits into the two families 9{0,3,6,9}9 and 94{0,3,6,9}9. * 251, 281, 521, 821, 881 are primes > 10, and they are subsequences of 9251, 9281, 9521, 9821, 9881, respectively, also 9001, 9221, 9551, 9851 are primes > 10, thus the family 9{0,2,5,8}1 splits into the numbers {91, 901, 921, 951, 981, 9021, 9051, 9081, 9201, 9501, 9581, 9801, 90581, 95081, 95801}. If the methods we have discussed cannot be used to rule out or shrink ''x''{''Y''}''z'' where ''Y'' = {''y''<sub>1</sub>, ''y''<sub>2</sub>, ..., ''y''<sub>''n''</sub>}, then we can replace ''x''{''Y''}''z'' by ''xy''<sub>1</sub>{''Y''}''z'' ∪ ''xy''<sub>2</sub>{''Y''}''z'' ∪ ... ∪ ''xy''<sub>''n''</sub>{''Y''}''z'' and re-run the methods on this new [[:w:Formal language|language]]. If all remain families are linear families (i.e. of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'', where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b''), then we search the smallest (probable) primes in these families and add these primes to the list. e.g. in decimal (base ''b'' = 10): * The smallest prime in the family 5{0}27 is 5000000000000000000000000000027. * The smallest prime in the family {5}1 is 555555555551. * The smallest prime in the family 8{5}1 is 8555555555555555555551, but 8555555555555555555551 is not a minimal element since 555555555551 is a subsequence of 8555555555555555555551. There is no guarantee that the techniques discussed will ever terminate, but in practice they often do. They are able to determine the set of the minimal elements in base ''b'' for 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 16 and ''b'' = 18, 20, 22, 24, 30. The bases ''b'' = 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 29, 31 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36 are solved with the exception of 771 families of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b''). The following is a "[[:w:Semi-algorithm|semi-algorithm]]" that is guaranteed to solve the Athena problem for a given base ''b'', but it is not so easy to implement: # ''M'' = ''[[:w:Empty string|∅]]'' # while (''L'' ≠ ''∅'') do # choose ''x'', a shortest string in ''L'' # ''M'' := ''M'' ∪ {''x''} # ''L'' := ''L'' − ''sup''({''x''}) In practice, for arbitrary ''L'', we cannot feasibly carry out step 5. Instead, we work with ''L''&#39;, some regular overapproximation to ''L'', until we can show ''L''&#39; = ''∅'' (which implies ''L'' = ''∅''). In practice, ''L''&#39; is usually chosen to be a finite [[:w:Union (set theory)|union]] of sets of the form ''L''<sub>1</sub>{''L''<sub>2</sub>}''L''<sub>3</sub>, where each of ''L''<sub>1</sub>, ''L''<sub>2</sub>, ''L''<sub>3</sub> is finite. In the case we consider in this project, we then have to determine whether such a family contains a prime or not. Thus, Athena problem in bases ''b'' around 500 may be [[:w:NP-complete|NP-complete]] or [[:w:NP-hard|NP-hard]], or an [[:w:Undecidable problem|undecidable problem]], or an example of [[:w:Gödel's incompleteness theorems|Gödel's incompleteness theorems]] (like the [[:w:Continuum hypothesis|continuum hypothesis]] and the [[:w:Halting problem|halting problem]]). To solve the Athena problem, we need to determine whether a given family contains a prime. In practice, if family ''x''{''Y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''Y'' is a set of digits in base ''b'') could not be ruled out as only containing composites and ''Y'' contains two or more digits, then a relatively small prime > ''b'' could always be found in this family. Intuitively, this is because there are a large number of small strings in such a family, and at least one is likely to be prime (e.g. there are 2<sup>''n''−2</sup> strings of length ''n'' in the family 1{3,7}9, and there are over a thousand strings of length 12 in the family 1{3,7}9, thus it is very impossible that these numbers are all composite). In the case ''Y'' contains only one digit, this family is of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'', and there is only a single string of each length > (the length of ''x'' + the length of ''z''), and it is not known if the following [[:w:Decision problem|decision problem]] is recursively solvable (just like [[:w:Sierpiński number|Sierpiński problem]] and [[:w:Riesel number|Riesel problem]], Sierpiński problem and Riesel problem can be generalized to other bases ''b'', in fact, Athena problem in base ''b'' covers the Sierpiński problem in base ''b'' and the Riesel problem in base ''b'' with ''k'' < ''b'', i.e. finding the smallest prime of the form ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>−1 (or prove such prime does not exist) with ''k'' < ''b'', since the smallest prime of the form ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>−1 (if exists) must be a minimal element in base ''b''): Problem: Given strings ''x'', ''z'' (may be empty), a digit ''y'', and a base ''b'' (''x'' does not [[:w:Leading zero|start with the digit 0]], ''z'' ends with a digit which [[:w:Coprime integers|coprime]] to ''b'', ''y'' is not 0 if ''x'' is empty, ''y'' is coprime to ''b'' if ''z'' is empty), does there exist a prime number whose base-''b'' expansion is of the form ''xy''<sub>''n''</sub>''z'' for some ''n'' ≥ 0?

If one conjectures the numbers ''x''{''y''}''z'' behave similarly (i.e. the numbers ''x''{''y''}''z'' is a [[:w:Pseudorandomness|pseudorandom sequence]]) you would expect [[:w:Harmonic_series (mathematics)|1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... = ∞]] primes of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (of course, this does not always happen, since some ''x''{''y''}''z'' families can be ruled out to contain no prime > ''b'' (by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them), but it is at least a reasonable conjecture in the absence of evidence to the contrary. Hence, the [[:w:Heuristic argument|heuristic argument]] suggests there are always infinitely many primes in family ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') if it cannot be ruled out to contain no prime or only contain finitely many primes, by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them. However, some families ''x''{''y''}''z'' could not be proven to contain no primes > ''b'' (by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them) but no primes > ''b'' could be found in the family, even after searching through numbers with over 100000 digits.

problem in decimal (base ''b'' = 10) == '''Bold''' for the minimal elements, ''x'' ◁ ''y'' means ''x'' is a subsequence of ''y''. Assume ''p'' is a prime > 10, and the last digit of ''p'' must lie in {1,3,7,9}. Case 1: ''p'' ends with 1. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''1. If ''x'' contains 1, 3, 4, 6, or 7, then (respectively) '''11''' ◁ ''p'', '''31''' ◁ ''p'', '''41''' ◁ ''p'', '''61''' ◁ ''p'', or '''71''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 2, 5, 8, or 9. Case 1.1: ''p'' begins with 2. In this case we can write ''p'' = 2''y''1. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''251''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''281''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 29 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 2. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then '''2221''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains zero or one 2's. If ''y'' contains no 2's, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' contains exactly one 2, then we can write ''p'' = 2''z''2''w''1, where ''z'',''w'' ∈ {0}. If 0 ◁ ''z'' and 0 ◁ ''w'', then '''20201''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume either ''z'' or ''w'' is empty. If ''z'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 22{0}1, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 22{0}1 is '''22000001'''. If ''w'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}21, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 2{0}21 is '''20021'''. Case 1.2: ''p'' begins with 5. In this case we can write ''p'' = 5''y''1. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''521''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 59 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0, 5, or 8. If 05 ◁ ''y'', then '''5051''' ◁ ''p''. If 08 ◁ ''y'', then '''5081''' ◁ ''p''. If 50 ◁ ''y'', then '''5501''' ◁ ''p''. If 58 ◁ ''y'', then '''5581''' ◁ ''p''. If 80 ◁ ''y'', then '''5801''' ◁ ''p''. If 85 ◁ ''y'', then '''5851''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0} ∪ {5} ∪ {8}. If ''y'' ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 6, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' ∈ {5}, then ''p'' ∈ 5{5}1, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 5{5}1 is '''555555555551'''. If ''y'' ∈ {8}, since if 88 ◁ ''y'', then 881 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'',8}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {51,581}, but 51 and 581 are both composite. Case 1.3: ''p'' begins with 8. In this case we can write p = 8''y''1. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''821''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''881''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 89 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 5. If 50 ◁ ''y'', then '''8501''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume y ∈ {0}{5}. If 005 ◁ ''y'', then '''80051''' ◁ p. Hence we may assume y ∈ {0} ∪ {5} ∪ 0{5}. If y ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 8{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 9, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If y ∈ {5}, since if 55555555555 ◁ ''y'', then 555555555551 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'', 5, 55, 555, 5555, 55555, 555555, 5555555, 55555555, 555555555, 5555555555}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {81, 851, 8551, 85551, 855551, 8555551, 85555551, 855555551, 8555555551, 85555555551, 855555555551}, but all of these numbers are composite. If y ∈ 0{5}, since if 55555555555 ◁ ''y'', then 555555555551 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0, 05, 055, 0555, 05555, 055555, 0555555, 05555555, 055555555, 0555555555, 05555555555}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {801, 8051, 80551, 805551, 8055551, 80555551, 805555551, 8055555551, 80555555551, 805555555551, 8055555555551}, and of these numbers only 80555551 and 8055555551 are primes, but 80555551 ◁ 8055555551, thus only '''80555551''' is a minimal element. Case 1.4: ''p'' begins with 9. In this case we can write p = 9''y''1. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''991''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0, 2, 5, or 8. If 00 ◁ ''y'', then '''9001''' ◁ ''p''. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then '''9221''' ◁ ''p''. If 55 ◁ ''y'', then '''9551''' ◁ ''p''. If 88 ◁ ''y'', then 881 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains at most one 0, at most one 2, at most one 5, and at most one 8. If ''y'' only contains at most one 0 and does not contain any of {2,5,8}, then ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'',0}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {91,901}, but 91 and 901 are both composite. If ''y'' only contains at most one 0 and only one of {2,5,8}, then the sum of the digits of ''p'' is divisible by 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains at least two of {2,5,8}. If 25 ◁ ''y'', then 251 ◁ ''p''. If 28 ◁ ''y'', then 281 ◁ ''p''. If 52 ◁ ''y'', then 521 ◁ ''p''. If 82 ◁ ''y'', then 821 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains no 2's (since if ''y'' contains 2, then ''y'' cannot contain either 5's or 8's, which is a contradiction). If 85 ◁ ''y'', then '''9851''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {58,580,508,058}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {9581,95801,95081,90581}, and of these numbers only 95801 is prime, but 95801 is not a minimal element since 5801 ◁ 95801. Case 2: ''p'' ends with 3. In this case we can write p = ''x''3. If ''x'' contains 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, or 8, then (respectively) '''13''' ◁ ''p'', '''23''' ◁ ''p'', '''43''' ◁ ''p'', '''53''' ◁ ''p'', '''73''' ◁ ''p'', or '''83''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 3: ''p'' ends with 7. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''7. If ''x'' contains 1, 3, 4, 6, or 9, then (respectively) '''17''' ◁ ''p'', '''37''' ◁ ''p'', '''47''' ◁ ''p'', '''67''' ◁ ''p'', or '''97''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 2, 5, 7, or 8. Case 3.1: ''p'' begins with 2. In this case we can write ''p'' = 2''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''227''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''257''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''277''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 8. If 08 ◁ ''y'', then '''2087''' ◁ ''p''. If 88 ◁ ''y'', then 887 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0} ∪ 8{0}. If ''y'' ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 9, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If y ∈ 8{0}, then ''p'' ∈ 28{0}7. But then ''p'' is divisible by 7, since for ''n'' ≥ 0 we have 7 × 40<sub>''n''</sub>1 = 280<sub>''n''</sub>7. Case 3.2: ''p'' begins with 5. In this case we can write ''p'' = 5''y''7. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''557''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''577''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''587''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 2. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then 227 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains zero or one 2's. If ''y'' contains no 2's, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 12, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' contains exactly one 2, then we can write ''p'' = 5''z''2''w''7, where ''z'',''w'' ∈ {0}. If 0 ◁ ''z'' and 0 ◁ ''w'', then '''50207''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume either ''z'' or ''w'' is empty. If ''z'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 52{0}7, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 52{0}7 is '''5200007'''. If ''w'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}27, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 5{0}27 is '''5000000000000000000000000000027'''. Case 3.3: ''p'' begins with 7. In this case we can write ''p'' = 7''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''727''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''757''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''787''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 7, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0 or 7. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 7, ''p'' is divisible by 7, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 3.4: ''p'' begins with 8. In this case we can write ''p'' = 8''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''827''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''857''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''877''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''887''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 8{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 15, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 4: ''p'' ends with 9. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''9. If ''x'' contains 1, 2, 5, 7, or 8, then (respectively) '''19''' ◁ ''p'', '''29''' ◁ ''p'', '''59''' ◁ ''p'', '''79''' ◁ ''p'', or '''89''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 4, 6, or 9. If 44 ◁ ''x'', then '''449''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''x'' contains zero or one 4's. If x contains no 4's, then all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Hence we may assume that ''x'' contains exactly one 4. Case 4.1: ''p'' begins with 3. In this case we can write ''p'' = 3''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. We must have '''349''' ◁ ''p''. Case 4.2: ''p'' begins with 4. In this case we can write ''p'' = 4''y''9, where all digits of ''y'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''y'', then '''409''' ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''499''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {6}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 4{6}9. But then ''p'' is divisible by 7, since for ''n'' ≥ 0 we have 7 × 6<sub>''n''</sub>7 = 46<sub>''n''</sub>9. Case 4.3: ''p'' begins with 6. In this case we can write p = 6''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''z'', then 409 ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''z'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 6 ◁ ''z'', then '''6469''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''z'', then 499 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''z'' is empty. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 349 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''6949''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 6. If 06 ◁ ''y'', then '''60649''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {6}{0}. If 666 ◁ ''y'', then '''666649''' ◁ ''p''. If 00000 ◁ ''y'', then '''60000049''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'', 0, 00, 000, 0000, 6, 60, 600, 6000, 60000, 66, 660, 6600, 66000, 660000}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {649, 6049, 60049, 600049, 6000049, 6649, 66049, 660049, 6600049, 66000049, 66649, 666049, 6660049, 66600049, 666000049}, and of these numbers only '''66000049''' and '''66600049''' are primes. Case 4.4: ''p'' begins with 9. In this case we can write p = 9''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''y'', then '''9049''' ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 349 ◁ ''p''. If 6 ◁ ''y'', then '''9649''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''9949''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' is empty. If 0 ◁ ''z'', then 409 ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''z'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''z'', then 499 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''z'' ∈ {6}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 94{6}9, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 94{6}9 is 946669.

Athena problem is: Give a [[:w:Natural number|natural number]] ''b'' > 1, find the [[:w:Set (mathematics)|set]] of the [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s of the set of the "[[:w:Prime number|prime number]] [[:w:Greater than|>]] ''b''" [[:w:Numerical digit|digit]] [[:w:String (computer science)|string]]s in the [[:w:Positional numeral system|positional numeral system]] with [[:w:Radix|base]] ''b'' for the [[:w:Subsequence|subsequence]] [[:w:Partially ordered set|ordering]]. (A string ''x'' is a subsequence of another string ''y'', if ''x'' can be obtained from ''y'' by deleting zero or more of the [[:w:Character (computing)|character]]s in ''y''. For example, 514 is a subsequence of 352148, "string" is a subsequence of "meistersinger". In contrast, 758 is not a subsequence of 378259, "abc" is not a subsequence of "cbacacba", since the characters must be in the same order) (Unlike [[:w:Substring|substring]], subsequence is not required to occupy consecutive positions within the original sequences, e.g. the [[:w:Longest common subsequence|longest common subsequence problem]] is different from the [[:w:Longest common substring|longest common substring problem]]) Using [[:w:Formal language theory|formal language theory]] terminology, Athena problem is finding the [[:w:Set (mathematics)|set]] of the [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s of the [[:w:Formal language|language]] of base-''b'' [[:w:Representation (mathematics)|representation]]s of the [[:w:Prime number|prime number]]s [[:w:Greater than|>]] ''b'' (which is a set of [[:w:String (computer science)|string]]s of [[:w:Symbol|symbol]]s over the [[:w:Alphabet (formal languages)|alphabet]] ''Σ''<sub>''b''</sub> := {0, 1, ..., ''b''−1}), under the subsequence ordering (i.e. the [[:w:Binary relation|binary relation]] "is a subsequence of", which is a [[:w:Partially ordered set|partial ordering]]), for a given natural number ''b'' > 1. (You can draw this partial ordering as [[:w:Hasse diagram|Hasse diagram]] to find all [[:w:Minimal element|minimal element]]s) By [[:w:Higman's lemma|Higman's lemma]], there are no [[:w:Infinite set|infinite]] [[:w:Antichain|antichain]]s for the subsequence ordering (i.e. the subsequence ordering is always a [[:w:Well-quasi-ordering|well quasi order]]) (i.e. under the subsequence ordering (i.e. the [[:w:Binary relation|binary relation]] "is a subsequence of", which is a [[:w:Partially ordered set|partial ordering]]), every set of pairwise incomparable (i.e. not [[:w:Comparability|comparable]]) strings is finite), thus there must be only finitely many such minimal elements. In other words, the set of such minimal elements must be a [[:w:Finite set|finite set]], e.g. in [[:w:Decimal|decimal]] (base ''b'' = 10), this set has exactly 77 [[:w:Element of a set|element]]s: {11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 227, 251, 257, 277, 281, 349, 409, 449, 499, 521, 557, 577, 587, 727, 757, 787, 821, 827, 857, 877, 881, 887, 991, 2087, 2221, 5051, 5081, 5501, 5581, 5801, 5851, 6469, 6949, 8501, 9001, 9049, 9221, 9551, 9649, 9851, 9949, 20021, 20201, 50207, 60649, 80051, 666649, 946669, 5200007, 22000001, 60000049, 66000049, 66600049, 80555551, 555555555551, 5000000000000000000000000000027}.

If the methods we have discussed cannot be used to rule out or shrink ''x''{''Y''}''z'' where ''Y'' = {''y''<sub>1</sub>, ''y''<sub>2</sub>, ..., ''y''<sub>''n''</sub>}, then we can replace ''x''{''Y''}''z'' by ''xy''<sub>1</sub>{''Y''}''z'' ∪ ''xy''<sub>2</sub>{''Y''}''z'' ∪ ... ∪ ''xy''<sub>''n''</sub>{''Y''}''z'' and re-run the methods on this new [[:w:Formal language|language]]. If all remain families are linear families (i.e. of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'', where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b''), then we search the smallest (probable) primes in these families and add these primes to the list. e.g. in decimal (base ''b'' = 10): * The smallest prime in the family 5{0}27 is 5000000000000000000000000000027. * The smallest prime in the family {5}1 is 555555555551. * The smallest prime in the family 8{5}1 is 8555555555555555555551, but 8555555555555555555551 is not a minimal element since 555555555551 is a subsequence of 8555555555555555555551. There is no guarantee that the techniques discussed will ever terminate, but in practice they often do. They are able to determine the set of the minimal elements in base ''b'' for 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 16 and ''b'' = 18, 20, 22, 24, 30. The bases ''b'' = 17, 19, 21, 23, 25 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 29, 31 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36 are solved with the exception of 771 families of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b''). The following is a "[[:w:Semi-algorithm|semi-algorithm]]" that is guaranteed to solve the Athena problem for a given base ''b'', but it is not so easy to implement: # ''M'' = ''[[:w:Empty string|∅]]'' # while (''L'' ≠ ''∅'') do # choose ''x'', a shortest string in ''L'' # ''M'' := ''M'' ∪ {''x''} # ''L'' := ''L'' − ''sup''({''x''}) In practice, for arbitrary ''L'', we cannot feasibly carry out step 5. Instead, we work with ''L''&#39;, some regular overapproximation to ''L'', until we can show ''L''&#39; = ''∅'' (which implies ''L'' = ''∅''). In practice, ''L''&#39; is usually chosen to be a finite [[:w:Union (set theory)|union]] of sets of the form ''L''<sub>1</sub>{''L''<sub>2</sub>}''L''<sub>3</sub>, where each of ''L''<sub>1</sub>, ''L''<sub>2</sub>, ''L''<sub>3</sub> is finite. In the case we consider in this project, we then have to determine whether such a family contains a prime or not. Thus, Athena problem in bases ''b'' around 500 may be [[:w:NP-complete|NP-complete]] or [[:w:NP-hard|NP-hard]], or an [[:w:Undecidable problem|undecidable problem]], or an example of [[:w:Gödel's incompleteness theorems|Gödel's incompleteness theorems]] (like the [[:w:Continuum hypothesis|continuum hypothesis]] and the [[:w:Halting problem|halting problem]]). To solve the Athena problem, we need to determine whether a given family contains a prime. In practice, if family ''x''{''Y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''Y'' is a set of digits in base ''b'') could not be ruled out as only containing composites and ''Y'' contains two or more digits, then a relatively small prime > ''b'' could always be found in this family. Intuitively, this is because there are a large number of small strings in such a family, and at least one is likely to be prime (e.g. there are 2<sup>''n''−2</sup> strings of length ''n'' in the family 1{3,7}9, and there are over a thousand strings of length 12 in the family 1{3,7}9, thus it is very impossible that these numbers are all composite). In the case ''Y'' contains only one digit, this family is of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'', and there is only a single string of each length > (the length of ''x'' + the length of ''z''), and it is not known if the following [[:w:Decision problem|decision problem]] is recursively solvable (just like [[:w:Sierpiński number|Sierpiński problem]] and [[:w:Riesel number|Riesel problem]], Sierpiński problem and Riesel problem can be generalized to other bases ''b'', in fact, Athena problem in base ''b'' covers the Sierpiński problem in base ''b'' and the Riesel problem in base ''b'' with ''k'' < ''b'', i.e. finding the smallest prime of the form ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>−1 (or prove such prime does not exist) with ''k'' < ''b'', since the smallest prime of the form ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and ''k''×''b''<sup>''n''</sup>−1 (if exists) must be a minimal element in base ''b''): Problem: Given strings ''x'', ''z'' (may be empty), a digit ''y'', and a base ''b'' (''x'' does not [[:w:Leading zero|start with the digit 0]], ''z'' ends with a digit which [[:w:Coprime integers|coprime]] to ''b'', ''y'' is not 0 if ''x'' is empty, ''y'' is coprime to ''b'' if ''z'' is empty), does there exist a prime number whose base-''b'' expansion is of the form ''xy''<sub>''n''</sub>''z'' for some ''n'' ≥ 0? Some families can be ruled out to contain no prime > ''b'' by [[:w:Covering set|covering congruence]], [[:w:Factorization of polynomials|algebraic factorization]] (e.g. [[:w:Difference of two squares|difference of two squares]], [[:w:Sum of two cubes|sum of two cubes]], [[:w:Sophie Germain's identity|Sophie Germain's identity of ''x''<sup>4</sup>+4×''y''<sup>4</sup>]]), or combine of them, e.g. * The base 9 family 2{7}: Always divisible by 2 or 5 * The base 16 family {8}F: Always divisible by 3, 7, or 13 * The base 21 family {7}D: Always divisible by 2, 13, or 17 * The base 23 family {D}GA: Always divisible by 2, 5, 7, 37, or 79 * The base 9 family 3{8}: Can be written as 4×9<sup>''n''</sup>−1 and can be factored as (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>−1) × (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>+1) * The base 8 family 1{0}1: Can be written as 8<sup>''n''</sup>+1 and can be factored as (2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) × (4<sup>''n''</sup>−2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) * The base 16 family {4}1: Can be written as (4×16<sup>''n''</sup>−49)/15 and can be factored as (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>−7) × (2×3<sup>''n''</sup>+7) / 15 * The base 16 family {C}D: Can be written as (4×16<sup>''n''</sup>+1)/5 and can be factored as (2×4<sup>''n''</sup>−2×2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) × (2×4<sup>''n''</sup>+2×2<sup>''n''</sup>+1) / 5 * The base 14 family 8{D}: Can be written as 9×14<sup>''n''</sup>−1, it is divisible by 5 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (3×14<sup>''n''/2</sup>−1) × (3×14<sup>''n''/2</sup>+1) if ''n'' is even * The base 12 family {B}9B: Can be written as 12<sup>''n''</sup>−25, it is divisible by 13 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (12<sup>''n''/2</sup>−5) × (12<sup>''n''/2</sup>+5) if ''n'' is even * The base 17 family 1{9}: Can be written as (25×17<sup>''n''</sup>−9)/16, it is divisible by 2 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (5×17<sup>''n''/2</sup>−3) × (5×17<sup>''n''/2</sup>+3) / 16 if ''n'' is even * The base 19 family 1{6}: Can be written as (4×19<sup>''n''</sup>−1)/3, it is divisible by 5 if ''n'' is odd and can be factored as (2×19<sup>''n''/2</sup>−1) × (2×19<sup>''n''/2</sup>+1) / 3 if ''n'' is even By the [[:w:Prime number theorem|prime number theorem]], the [[:w:Probability|chance]] that a [[:w:Random number|random]] ''n''-digit base ''b'' number is prime is [[:w:Asymptotic analysis|approximately]] 1/''n'' (more accurately, the chance is approximately 1/(''n''×''ln''(''b'')), where ''ln'' is the [[:w:Natural logarithm|natural logarithm]]). If one conjectures the numbers ''x''{''y''}''z'' behave similarly (i.e. the numbers ''x''{''y''}''z'' is a [[:w:Pseudorandomness|pseudorandom sequence]]) you would expect [[:w:Harmonic_series (mathematics)|1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... = ∞]] primes of the form ''x''{''y''}''z'' (of course, this does not always happen, since some ''x''{''y''}''z'' families can be ruled out to contain no prime > ''b'' (by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them), but it is at least a reasonable conjecture in the absence of evidence to the contrary. Hence, the [[:w:Heuristic argument|heuristic argument]] suggests there are always infinitely many primes in family ''x''{''y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'', ''y'' is a digit in base ''b'') if it cannot be ruled out to contain no prime or only contain finitely many primes, by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them. However, some families ''x''{''y''}''z'' could not be proven to contain no primes > ''b'' (by covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them) but no primes > ''b'' could be found in the family, even after searching through numbers with over 100000 digits. In such a case, the only way to proceed is to [[:w:Primality test|test the primality]] of larger and larger numbers of such form and hope a prime is eventually discovered. e.g. the smallest (probable) prime in the family A{3}A in base ''b'' = 13 is A3<sub>592197</sub>A, which written in decimal contains 659677 digits (it is only probable prime, i.e. not definitely prime). == Data == These are the results of the Athena problem in bases 2 ≤ ''b'' ≤ 36 (we stop at base 36 since this base is the maximum base for which it is possible to write the numbers with the [[:w:Symbol|symbol]]s 0, 1, 2, ..., 9 and A, B, C, ..., Z (i.e. the 10 [[:w:Arabic numerals|Arabic numerals]] and the 26 [[:w:Latin script|Latin letters]]): (some large primes are only probable primes, i.e. not definitely primes, since they are too large to be [[:w:Elliptic curve primality|ECPP proved]] and [[:w:Pocklington primality test#Extensions and variants|neither ''N''−1 nor ''N''+1 can be ≥ 1/3 factored]], all of them pass the [[:w:Baillie–PSW primality test|Baillie–PSW primality test]] and the [[:w:Strong pseudoprime|strong primality test]] (i.e. the [[:w:Miller–Rabin primality test|Miller–Rabin primality test]]) with all prime bases ''p'' ≤ 61, however, all primes < 10<sup>25000</sup> for bases ''b'' = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 36 are definitely primes, most of them > 10<sup>299</sup> are proven primes with [[:w:Elliptic curve primality|ECPP proving]], others > 10<sup>299</sup> are proven primes with [[:w:Pocklington primality test#Extensions and variants|''N''−1 or ''N''+1 proving]]) All numbers are written in base ''b'', [[:w:Senary#Base 36 as senary compression|using A to Z to represent digit values 10 to 35]], "{}" means repeating, e.g. family 12{3}45 means the sequence {1245, 12345, 123345, 1233345, 12333345, 123333345, ...} (where the members are expressed as base ''b'' strings), subscripts are used to indicate repetitions of digits, e.g. 123<sub>4</sub>567 means 123333567 (all subscripts are written in decimal).

problem in decimal (base ''b'' = 10) == '''Bold''' for the minimal elements, ''x'' ◁ ''y'' means ''x'' is a subsequence of ''y''. Assume ''p'' is a prime > 10, and the last digit of ''p'' must lie in {1,3,7,9}. Case 1: ''p'' ends with 1. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''1. If ''x'' contains 1, 3, 4, 6, or 7, then (respectively) '''11''' ◁ ''p'', '''31''' ◁ ''p'', '''41''' ◁ ''p'', '''61''' ◁ ''p'', or '''71''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 2, 5, 8, or 9. Case 1.1: ''p'' begins with 2. In this case we can write ''p'' = 2''y''1. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''251''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''281''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 29 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 2. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then '''2221''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains zero or one 2's. If ''y'' contains no 2's, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' contains exactly one 2, then we can write ''p'' = 2''z''2''w''1, where ''z'',''w'' ∈ {0}. If 0 ◁ ''z'' and 0 ◁ ''w'', then '''20201''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume either ''z'' or ''w'' is empty. If ''z'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 22{0}1, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 22{0}1 is '''22000001'''. If ''w'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}21, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 2{0}21 is '''20021'''. Case 1.2: ''p'' begins with 5. In this case we can write ''p'' = 5''y''1. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''521''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 59 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0, 5, or 8. If 05 ◁ ''y'', then '''5051''' ◁ ''p''. If 08 ◁ ''y'', then '''5081''' ◁ ''p''. If 50 ◁ ''y'', then '''5501''' ◁ ''p''. If 58 ◁ ''y'', then '''5581''' ◁ ''p''. If 80 ◁ ''y'', then '''5801''' ◁ ''p''. If 85 ◁ ''y'', then '''5851''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0} ∪ {5} ∪ {8}. If ''y'' ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 6, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' ∈ {5}, then ''p'' ∈ 5{5}1, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 5{5}1 is '''555555555551'''. If ''y'' ∈ {8}, since if 88 ◁ ''y'', then 881 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'',8}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {51,581}, but 51 and 581 are both composite. Case 1.3: ''p'' begins with 8. In this case we can write p = 8''y''1. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''821''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''881''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then 89 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 5. If 50 ◁ ''y'', then '''8501''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume y ∈ {0}{5}. If 005 ◁ ''y'', then '''80051''' ◁ p. Hence we may assume y ∈ {0} ∪ {5} ∪ 0{5}. If y ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 8{0}1. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 9, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If y ∈ {5}, since if 55555555555 ◁ ''y'', then 555555555551 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'', 5, 55, 555, 5555, 55555, 555555, 5555555, 55555555, 555555555, 5555555555}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {81, 851, 8551, 85551, 855551, 8555551, 85555551, 855555551, 8555555551, 85555555551, 855555555551}, but all of these numbers are composite. If y ∈ 0{5}, since if 55555555555 ◁ ''y'', then 555555555551 ◁ ''p'', hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0, 05, 055, 0555, 05555, 055555, 0555555, 05555555, 055555555, 0555555555, 05555555555}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {801, 8051, 80551, 805551, 8055551, 80555551, 805555551, 8055555551, 80555555551, 805555555551, 8055555555551}, and of these numbers only 80555551 and 8055555551 are primes, but 80555551 ◁ 8055555551, thus only '''80555551''' is a minimal element. Case 1.4: ''p'' begins with 9. In this case we can write p = 9''y''1. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''991''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0, 2, 5, or 8. If 00 ◁ ''y'', then '''9001''' ◁ ''p''. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then '''9221''' ◁ ''p''. If 55 ◁ ''y'', then '''9551''' ◁ ''p''. If 88 ◁ ''y'', then 881 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains at most one 0, at most one 2, at most one 5, and at most one 8. If ''y'' only contains at most one 0 and does not contain any of {2,5,8}, then ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'',0}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {91,901}, but 91 and 901 are both composite. If ''y'' only contains at most one 0 and only one of {2,5,8}, then the sum of the digits of ''p'' is divisible by 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains at least two of {2,5,8}. If 25 ◁ ''y'', then 251 ◁ ''p''. If 28 ◁ ''y'', then 281 ◁ ''p''. If 52 ◁ ''y'', then 521 ◁ ''p''. If 82 ◁ ''y'', then 821 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains no 2's (since if ''y'' contains 2, then ''y'' cannot contain either 5's or 8's, which is a contradiction). If 85 ◁ ''y'', then '''9851''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {58,580,508,058}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {9581,95801,95081,90581}, and of these numbers only 95801 is prime, but 95801 is not a minimal element since 5801 ◁ 95801. Case 2: ''p'' ends with 3. In this case we can write p = ''x''3. If ''x'' contains 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, or 8, then (respectively) '''13''' ◁ ''p'', '''23''' ◁ ''p'', '''43''' ◁ ''p'', '''53''' ◁ ''p'', '''73''' ◁ ''p'', or '''83''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 3: ''p'' ends with 7. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''7. If ''x'' contains 1, 3, 4, 6, or 9, then (respectively) '''17''' ◁ ''p'', '''37''' ◁ ''p'', '''47''' ◁ ''p'', '''67''' ◁ ''p'', or '''97''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 2, 5, 7, or 8. Case 3.1: ''p'' begins with 2. In this case we can write ''p'' = 2''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''227''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''257''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''277''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 8. If 08 ◁ ''y'', then '''2087''' ◁ ''p''. If 88 ◁ ''y'', then 887 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0} ∪ 8{0}. If ''y'' ∈ {0}, then ''p'' ∈ 2{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 9, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If y ∈ 8{0}, then ''p'' ∈ 28{0}7. But then ''p'' is divisible by 7, since for ''n'' ≥ 0 we have 7 × 40<sub>''n''</sub>1 = 280<sub>''n''</sub>7. Case 3.2: ''p'' begins with 5. In this case we can write ''p'' = 5''y''7. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''557''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''577''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''587''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 2. If 22 ◁ ''y'', then 227 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' contains zero or one 2's. If ''y'' contains no 2's, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 12, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. If ''y'' contains exactly one 2, then we can write ''p'' = 5''z''2''w''7, where ''z'',''w'' ∈ {0}. If 0 ◁ ''z'' and 0 ◁ ''w'', then '''50207''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume either ''z'' or ''w'' is empty. If ''z'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 52{0}7, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 52{0}7 is '''5200007'''. If ''w'' is empty, then ''p'' ∈ 5{0}27, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 5{0}27 is '''5000000000000000000000000000027'''. Case 3.3: ''p'' begins with 7. In this case we can write ''p'' = 7''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''727''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''757''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''787''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 7, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0 or 7. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 7, ''p'' is divisible by 7, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 3.4: ''p'' begins with 8. In this case we can write ''p'' = 8''y''7. If 2 ◁ ''y'', then '''827''' ◁ ''p''. If 5 ◁ ''y'', then '''857''' ◁ ''p''. If 7 ◁ ''y'', then '''877''' ◁ ''p''. If 8 ◁ ''y'', then '''887''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {0}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 8{0}7. But then, since the sum of the digits of ''p'' is 15, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Case 4: ''p'' ends with 9. In this case we can write ''p'' = ''x''9. If ''x'' contains 1, 2, 5, 7, or 8, then (respectively) '''19''' ◁ ''p'', '''29''' ◁ ''p'', '''59''' ◁ ''p'', '''79''' ◁ ''p'', or '''89''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 4, 6, or 9. If 44 ◁ ''x'', then '''449''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''x'' contains zero or one 4's. If x contains no 4's, then all digits of ''x'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9, and thus all digits of ''p'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. But then, since the digits of ''p'' all have a common factor 3, ''p'' is divisible by 3, so ''p'' cannot be prime. Hence we may assume that ''x'' contains exactly one 4. Case 4.1: ''p'' begins with 3. In this case we can write ''p'' = 3''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. We must have '''349''' ◁ ''p''. Case 4.2: ''p'' begins with 4. In this case we can write ''p'' = 4''y''9, where all digits of ''y'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''y'', then '''409''' ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''499''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {6}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 4{6}9. But then ''p'' is divisible by 7, since for ''n'' ≥ 0 we have 7 × 6<sub>''n''</sub>7 = 46<sub>''n''</sub>9. Case 4.3: ''p'' begins with 6. In this case we can write p = 6''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''z'', then 409 ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''z'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 6 ◁ ''z'', then '''6469''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''z'', then 499 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''z'' is empty. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 349 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''6949''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume all digits of ''y'' are 0 or 6. If 06 ◁ ''y'', then '''60649''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {6}{0}. If 666 ◁ ''y'', then '''666649''' ◁ ''p''. If 00000 ◁ ''y'', then '''60000049''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' ∈ {''𝜆'', 0, 00, 000, 0000, 6, 60, 600, 6000, 60000, 66, 660, 6600, 66000, 660000}, and thus ''p'' ∈ {649, 6049, 60049, 600049, 6000049, 6649, 66049, 660049, 6600049, 66000049, 66649, 666049, 6660049, 66600049, 666000049}, and of these numbers only '''66000049''' and '''66600049''' are primes. Case 4.4: ''p'' begins with 9. In this case we can write p = 9''y''4''z''9, where all digits of ''y'', ''z'' are 0, 3, 6, or 9. If 0 ◁ ''y'', then '''9049''' ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''y'', then 349 ◁ ''p''. If 6 ◁ ''y'', then '''9649''' ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''y'', then '''9949''' ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''y'' is empty. If 0 ◁ ''z'', then 409 ◁ ''p''. If 3 ◁ ''z'', then 43 ◁ ''p''. If 9 ◁ ''z'', then 499 ◁ ''p''. Hence we may assume ''z'' ∈ {6}, and thus ''p'' ∈ 94{6}9, and the smallest prime ''p'' ∈ 94{6}9 is 946669.

He comes from a pretty well-known business family tied to the petroleum industry in Eastern India for four generations, so you can say the background is solid. He’s often recognized for his work in internal medicine, critical care, and for healthcare awareness kind of initiatives. Over the years he has worked with reputed hospitals like Apollo Gleneagles Hospital, AMRI Hospitals, IQ City Medical College Hospital, and M.P. Birla Hospital. Besides all the medical stuff, he is also engaged in social welfare activities and public healthcare efforts, kind of regularly. He is also involved with keeping his family’s 170-year-old Jagadhatri Puja tradition going in Kolkata, not just as a ritual but as continuation, if you know what I mean. == Early Life & Education == Dr. Albert Dawn was born in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, on 27 June 1989. He comes from a well known business family tied with the petroleum industry across Eastern India for almost a hundred years. His family was linked to one of the very first petrol import efforts in Eastern India around 1929 and they helped the growth of the petrol pump trade in the region. At the start they were operating out of Old China Bazar Street in Kolkata, later moving things to Central Avenue, Kolkata. It was kind of a slow shift, you know. {| class="wikitable" !

He was a Critical Care Registrar at Apollo Gleneagles Hospital Ltd, Kolkata, where he managed critically ill patients and also handled urgent emergency medical situations. After that, he later joined Woodlands Multispeciality Hospital, Kolkata as Deputy Medical Superintendent, sort of focusing on running the hospital day to day operations, coordinating care routines and patient flow in a very practical manner. Dr. Dawn also worked as a Gastroenterology Registrar at AMRI Hospitals, Mukundapur, Kolkata, and at the same time stayed actively involved in emergency care and hands on patient support, in particular during his MD training at IQ City Medical College & Hospital, Kolkata. From May 2022 to April 2024, he worked as Junior Consultant and in-charge of the Day Care Oncology Unit at Apollo Multispeciality Hospital Ltd, Kolkata. Then from April 2024 until March 2025 he served as Consultant and HOD, Critical Care & Emergency at IQ City Medical College Hospital, Durgapur, and yes it was very demanding. In April 2025 he shifted to M.P. Birla Hospital, Satra, Madhya Pradesh, as Consultant Internal Medicine & Intensivist. His strengths span internal medicine, diabetes, pulmonary care, cardiology, emergency medicine, and critical care, basically the areas where decisions need to be quick and also precise. == Notable Works == Dr. Albert Dawn is fairly well known for bringing in a handful of healthcare and social initiatives that are linked to the petroleum sector and public welfare, not just in theory but in actual ground work. He pushed emergency healthcare awareness quite early by helping petrol pump staff become BLS (Basic Life Support) certified, and he also set up a Pink Zone for women at a Bharat Petroleum petrol pump near VIP More, Kolkata, so it felt more welcoming. On top of that, he arranged healthcare awareness seminars, medical camps, and a mix of public welfare work across Kolkata as well as the rural areas. Dr. Dawn has contributed to academic and medical research through his authored research papers, and that side of it, seems to keep growing year after year. == Achievements and Recognition == Dr. Albert Dawn got a bit of recognition, for his work across internal medicine, critical care, and public healthcare initiatives, it’s kind of broad. He has completed several international fellowships plus certifications that came through institutions in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and Geneva. Also, he took part in clinical mentoring programs and healthcare awareness campaigns, on and off, over time. In addition, people view him as a successor and a caretaker of his family’s 170-year-old Jagadhatri Puja tradition in Kolkata, so you know it’s not just professional, there’s that continuity part as well. {| class="wikitable" !

The most common of them is the 5-string banjo, usually for playing bluegrass, folk, or old-time music. The next most common is the 4-string tenor banjo, usually for playing Irish traditional music or jazz. Many other hybrid and modified versions of the banjo exist including banjitar, gourd banjo, long neck banjo, and more. ''To read more on the etymology, history, and types of banjos, I recommend the "Banjo - Wikipedia"[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo] website.'' == Types of Banjos == === 5-String Banjo === The standard 5-string banjo is defined by four strings tuned at the headstock, and a fifth string that is the same gauge as the first, but starts from the fifth fret, three-quarters the length of the other strings. It would have 22 frets along a length of between 25.5-27 inches. This often will come with a removable resonator allowing the instrument to be configured either as a resonator banjo or as an open-back banjo. The most common playing styles include clawhammer, three-finger bluegrass, melodic (keith) style, and chromatic style. ==== Long neck banjos ==== The long-neck banjo is a variant of the standard 5-string banjo having an extended neck with three additional frets, allowing the instrument to be played in lower pitch ranges while also keeping a similar standard banjo tuning. The scale length can range from 28-32 inches. This instrument was invented by Pete Seeger in 1944 when he had a luthier, John D'Angelico, modify his banjo to add two extra frets. That banjo would be stolen a five years later and he would commission one with three extra frets which he would popularize throughout the 1950's and 60's folk scene.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://banjonews.com/2014-03/the_seeger_long_neck_americas_third_banjo.html|title=Banjo Newsletter|website=banjonews.com|access-date=2026-05-16}}</ref> === 4-String Plectrum Banjo === The four-string plectrum banjo is a standard banjo without the short drone string, consisting of the same number of frets and neck size. This banjo is usually played with a guitar-like pick and was used in Jazz, Irish traditional music, and musical stage productions. The Tenor banjo is similar to this but with either 17 or 19 frets. === Banjo Hybrids and Homemade Variations === Most banjo hybrids combine the acoustic drum-head of a banjo with the playing and tuning style of the different instrument. These include the guitar banjo (banjitar), mandolin banjo (banjolin), ukelele banjo (banjolele), dobro banjo (dojo), cello banjo (celljo), bass banjo (bassjo), lute banjo, the electric banjo, and even a violin banjo. Bands and orchestras consisting of banjo-like instruments were at it's peak in the 1920's. The gourd banjo is the furthest predecessor of the modern banjo, originally evolving from "spike lutes" in Western Africa.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.si.edu/spotlight/banjos-smithsonian|title=Banjos {{!}} Smithsonian Institution|website=www.si.edu|language=en|access-date=2026-05-17}}</ref> These would use strings made from gut or nylgut to provide a softer tone and less tension than metal strings. Mountain Banjos are classified by their mostly wooden construction, with traditional models being fretless and using friction tuners, though modern versions can use partial/diatonic frets or geared tuners. A canjo is a single string musical instrument that can be easily made at home. It consists of a simple wooden dowel or board with a single string, a tuner at the top, and an empty can mounted at the bottom. == 5-String Banjo Styles == === Frailing Styles === Frailing is the fundamental motion that is learned when doing clawhammer or old-time banjo playing. This uses combinations of downstroke notes, brush stroke, and thumb plucks to create different rhythmic patterns. ==== Clawhammer ==== Past the basic strokes and techniques for frailing, styles with clawhammer banjo also includes Melodic, West Virginia, and Round-Peak Clawhammer. === Picking Styles === * Fingerpicking (Scruggs Style, Two-finger, Melodic (Keith) Style, Chromatic) == Sources == [[Category:Music instruments]] hgz94y89tum7ct1i6buccsil81cznxf 2810047 2809924 2026-05-18T05:31:34Z Kirby - Electrotechnics 3074947 /* Picking Styles */ Expanded upon, but leaving certain parts empty for the night. 2810047 wikitext text/x-wiki The '''Banjo''' is a stringed musical instrument with a long neck (commonly fretted) and a circular drum-like body covered by a tensioned membrane, played by plucking or striking the strings with fingers, picks, or a plectrum.<ref>''Collins English Dictionary: Complete & Unabridged''. 2012 digital ed., HarperCollins Publishers, 2012.</ref> Banjo playing is associated with a fast arpeggiated plucking, though many different playing styles are popular.

The less common form is Index-Lead Two-Finger where the index finger plays the melody, while the thumb provides a droning technique and bass. ===== Three Finger Style ===== This more advanced style uses the thumb, index, and middle finger which allows for complex and continuous rolls that create a versatile rhythm. The thumb plays the 5th-string drone note and 4th-string bass notes, the index finger plays from the inner three strings usually, and the middle finger plays from the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd-strings depending on where it may alternate with the other fingers. ==== Using Fingerpicks ==== Fingerpicks are worn to replace the way a finger would pluck or a fingernail would strike at the string, in order to increase the volume, provide consistency, and produce brighter sounds instead of more mellow. ===== Scruggs Style ===== ===== Melodic Style ===== <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://bluegrassbanjo.org/melodic_chromatic.html|title=Difference between Melodic and Chromatic|website=bluegrassbanjo.org|access-date=2026-05-18}}</ref> ===== Chromatic (Keith) Style ===== ===== Single-String (Reno) Style ===== == Sources == [[Category:Music instruments]] fqynw7ustolsvzddpkzd6rcbu3wro8l The Ignorant Observer Framework 0 329703 2809934 2809883 2026-05-17T15:54:08Z IgnorantObserver 3076980 Add external links to source documents and references.

Page text is offered for review, critique, and collaborative refinement under [[Wikiversity:Copyrights|Wikiversity's standard licence]].'' == Status == Research project under active development. The framework consists of an interlinked set of technical and interpretive documents published at [https://ignorantobserver.xyz ignorantobserver.xyz] and archived on the [https://osf.io Open Science Framework]. The technical module ''Bandwidth-Limited Quantum Control'' (BLQC) sets out the framework's falsifiable experimental discriminator. The broader ''Ignorant Observer Framework'' (IOF) connects this technical core to questions in the foundations of quantum mechanics and the philosophy of mind. All work is single-authored. == Summary == The Ignorant Observer Framework proposes that the conventional treatment of quantum measurement idealizes the measurement basis as stably available to the observer. The framework removes that idealization. It treats the measurement basis θ as a physical dynamical variable inside the apparatus, with its own causal history and its own information-production rate. Whether the apparatus can stably track θ is then a control-theoretic question, governed by an inequality between effective information-channel capacity and the basis-defining dynamics' entropy rate. ''Bandwidth-Limited Quantum Control'' (BLQC), the framework's technical module, derives — under the assumptions catalogued in the [[#Open objections|Open objections]] section below — a distinctive ''double-exponential'' visibility decay law and a corresponding falsifiable experimental signature: under variation of controller input power at clamped environmental temperature, the framework predicts that coherence time should ''lengthen'' with increasing power, the opposite of standard thermal decoherence. This sign-reversal is the central testable claim. The framework as a whole also offers an interpretive extension that connects the technical proposal to existing positions in quantum foundations (Brukner, Rovelli's relational quantum mechanics) and to non-dual philosophy of mind (Advaita Vedānta). These interpretive elements are clearly fenced from the empirical core in [[#Philosophical interpretation|the relevant section below]]. What stands or falls with the experimental discriminator is the framework's specific physical mapping into these positions, not the positions themselves. == Core question == ''Can quantum visibility depend on finite observer or apparatus basis-tracking capacity, independently of, and distinguishably from, ordinary environmental decoherence?'' Phrased positively: if the classical degrees of freedom that define and maintain a measurement basis exhibit chaotic dynamics with positive Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy rate ''h''<sub>KS</sub>, and if the effective information channel that constrains those degrees of freedom has capacity ''C''<sub>eff</sub> insufficient to track them, does interference visibility decay in a functional form distinguishable from standard exponential or Gaussian dephasing — and does this decay respond to controller input power in a direction opposite to thermal decoherence? == Technical proposal == The framework introduces the following quantities. '''Effective channel capacity ''C''<sub>eff</sub>''' (bits/s): the information rate available to the basis-tracking control loop, operationalised as :''C''<sub>eff</sub> = ''r'' · ''b'' · ''f'' with ''r'' the update rate (Hz), ''b'' the effective number of bits per update that constrain the basis variable θ, and ''f'' ∈ (0,1] the fraction of updates that genuinely constrain θ after overhead and latency. ''C''<sub>eff</sub> is bounded above by the Landauer limit on the controller's actuation: :''C''<sub>eff</sub> ≤ ''P'' / (''k''<sub>B</sub> ''T'' ln 2) where ''P'' is controller input power and ''T'' is the temperature at which the controller operates. '''Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy rate ''h''<sub>KS</sub>''' (nats/s): the information-production rate of the classical degrees of freedom (voltage references, timing circuits, feedback loops) that define and maintain the measurement basis. For chaotic systems, ''h''<sub>KS</sub> equals the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents (Pesin identity). It is estimated operationally from the exponential growth of one-step prediction error on logged controller states. The nats/s convention is used so that the deficit κ below combines ''h''<sub>KS</sub> (nats/s) and ''C''<sub>eff</sub> ln 2 (bits/s converted to nats/s) in consistent units; an equivalent all-bits form would be κ<sub>bits</sub> = ''h''<sub>KS,bits</sub> − ''C''<sub>eff</sub>. '''Ignorance rate κ''' (s<sup>−1</sup>): :κ = ''h''<sub>KS</sub> − ''C''<sub>eff</sub> · ln 2 The framework distinguishes two regimes. When κ < 0 (''capacity-wins''), basis-tracking error stays bounded and standard quantum mechanics is recovered. When κ > 0 (''chaos-wins''), the variance of the basis-tracking error grows exponentially in time as σ<sub>θ</sub><sup>2</sup>(''t'') = σ<sub>0</sub><sup>2</sup> e<sup>2κ''t''</sup>. '''Measured visibility ''V''(''t'')'''. Averaging the interference term cos(φ − θ) over a Gaussian distribution of basis-tracking error δθ ∼ ''N''(0, σ<sub>θ</sub><sup>2</sup>(''t'')) yields, in the small-angle regime, :''V''(''t'') = exp(−½ σ<sub>0</sub><sup>2</sup> e<sup>2κ''t''</sup>) i.e. a ''double-exponential'' decay of visibility once the chaos-wins regime is entered. '''Breakdown time ''t''<sub>break</sub>'''. For a chosen visibility threshold ''V''*, :''t''<sub>break</sub> = (1 / 2κ) · ln(−2 ln ''V''* / σ<sub>0</sub><sup>2</sup>) for κ > 0. ''t''<sub>break</sub> is the framework's primary observable. The technical derivation extends the Data-Rate Theorem of Nair & Evans (2004) and Tatikonda & Mitter (2004) from linear plants to nonlinear, chaotic systems by substituting ''h''<sub>KS</sub> for the sum-of-positive-eigenvalues bound. This extension is an explicit assumption of the framework rather than a proven theorem (see [[#Open objections|Open objections]]). == Experimental discriminator == The framework prescribes the following experimental protocol as its central falsifiable test. '''Independent variable''': controller input power ''P''. The controller is the physical system whose state defines and maintains the measurement basis (e.g. an interferometer phase-locking loop, a qubit readout chain, the active feedback in a precision interferometer). '''Held constant''': the environmental temperature ''T'' at which the controller operates, by independent active thermal feedback. Holding ''T'' constant while varying ''P'' is what distinguishes the framework's prediction from standard thermal decoherence (which depends on ''T'' and ignores ''P''). '''Dependent variable''': the visibility-decay breakdown time ''t''<sub>break</sub>, fitted to interference data at a chosen visibility threshold (e.g. ''V''* = 0.5). '''Prediction''': ∂''t''<sub>break</sub>/∂''P'' > 0 at clamped ''T'', with the visibility curve ''V''(''t'') fitting the double-exponential form exp(−½ σ<sub>0</sub><sup>2</sup> e<sup>2κ''t''</sup>) better than a standard exponential ''e''<sup>−Γ''t''</sup> or Gaussian ''e''<sup>−γ''t''²</sup>. '''What would count as falsification'''. Any of the following null findings counts against the framework: * ∂''t''<sub>break</sub>/∂''P'' ≤ 0 at clamped ''T'' (i.e. increasing controller power does not extend, or shortens, coherence time); * ''V''(''t'') fits a single-exponential or Gaussian dephasing law significantly better than the double-exponential form, in the regime where the framework predicts the double-exponential should dominate; * ''t''<sub>break</sub> scales with the gravitational self-energy timescale ''t''<sub>OR</sub> ∝ ''s'' / ''m''<sup>2</sup> (the [[Penrose interpretation of quantum mechanics|Penrose Objective Reduction]] prediction) rather than with ''C''<sub>eff</sub>; * ''C''<sub>eff</sub> cannot be calibrated independently of ''t''<sub>break</sub> (in which case the prediction would be unfalsifiable, which would itself count against the framework's experimental status). The [https://www.qgemproject.com/ QGEM] pathfinder is cited in the BLQC manuscript as one candidate testbed; superconducting-qubit readout chains and precision interferometer phase-locking loops are others. == Relation to quantum foundations == The framework is connected to, and partly draws from, several existing positions in the foundations of quantum mechanics. * '''Brukner's information-theoretic reconstructions''' provide a precedent for treating information limits as structural constraints in quantum theory. * '''Relational Quantum Mechanics''' (Rovelli) takes measurement outcomes to be relative to an observer-system; the framework provides one possible mechanism (finite ''C''<sub>eff</sub>) for what makes one observer's frame physically inequivalent to another's. * '''Decoherence theory''' is not opposed by the framework. The framework's prediction sits beside ordinary environmental decoherence and is intended to be ''distinguishable'' from it by the sign-reversal under power variation; in the capacity-wins regime (κ < 0) standard decoherence theory is recovered. * '''Measurement-independence'''. Because the framework treats the measurement basis as a dynamical variable with its own causal history, if extended to Bell-type set-ups it appears to imply a structural violation of statistical measurement-independence. The framework's response to the conventional "conspiracy" objection against superdeterminism is to attribute the correlation to common causal past plus a global consistency constraint rather than to fine-tuned initial conditions. This response is philosophical rather than mathematical and the formal extension (including a no-signalling treatment) is itself an open question (see [[#Open objections|Open objections]]). * '''Penrose Objective Reduction''' is treated as an ''orthogonal'' competing mechanism whose predicted ''t''<sub>OR</sub> ∝ ''s'' / ''m''<sup>2</sup> scaling can be experimentally distinguished from the framework's ''C''<sub>eff</sub>-driven ''t''<sub>break</sub>. The numerical proximity of the two timescales in the mesoscopic regime motivates the protocol described in the next section but is treated as a coincidence pending experimental evidence. == Philosophical interpretation == ''This section describes interpretive extensions of the framework that go beyond the empirical core. Nothing in this section is a load-bearing element of the experimental claim. If the experimental discriminator returns a null result, the claimed physical realization of these interpretive readings within the framework would fall. The interpretive positions themselves — Advaita Vedānta, relational quantum mechanics — do not stand or fall on an interferometry experiment; what stands or falls is the framework's specific physical mapping into them.'' A direct statement of the framework's interpretive position appears in ''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Hard_Problem_After_Deflation.pdf The Hard Problem Dissolved — But Into What? A Critical Response to Carlo Rovelli's "There Is No 'Hard Problem of Consciousness'"]'' (Dekker, May 2026). The response engages Rovelli's recent Noema essay, marks the substantial ground it shares with the framework, and identifies where the framework presses beyond Rovelli's deflationary physicalism toward a non-dual reading. Readers approaching the framework from philosophy of mind may find that essay the most accessible entry point. The framework's interpretive layer is developed in dialogue with two existing positions. The first is Carlo Rovelli's relational quantum mechanics. The framework can be read as supplying a candidate physical mechanism — the ''C''<sub>eff</sub> versus ''h''<sub>KS</sub> inequality — for what makes a measurement outcome relative to an observer rather than absolute. On this reading, the framework is a mechanistic specification of an idea that RQM leaves at the level of principle. The second is the Advaita Vedānta tradition (Śaṅkara, Ramaṇa Mahaṛṣi), in which the apparent independence of the experiencing subject from the perceived world is treated as a structural feature of ignorance (''avidyā'') rather than a metaphysical fact. The framework's σ<sub>θ</sub><sup>2</sup>(''t'') — the growing basis-tracking error of an observer whose capacity is insufficient to track its own apparatus — admits a structural analogy with avidyā as the phenomenological self-opacity of an embodied subject. The framework neither asserts that this analogy is more than structural nor that any experimental result could confirm or refute Advaita as a philosophical position; it offers the analogy as a way of locating the framework within a non-dual reading of the measurement problem for readers who find that reading useful. Readers who prefer to ignore both interpretive readings should be able to evaluate the framework's empirical content from the [[#Technical proposal|Technical proposal]] and [[#Experimental discriminator|Experimental discriminator]] sections alone. A further speculative extension, ''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Creation_of_Duality.pdf The Creation of Duality]'', asks whether space, time, objecthood, and gravity-like structure can themselves be read as features of a consistent finite-observer world-model, with a Bridge Ansatz ''E''<sub>G</sub> = (π/2)ℏκ linking the deficit rate κ to a gravitational energy scale via Margolus–Levitin saturation. Its scientific status is contingent on the BLQC experimental discriminator; until then it is offered explicitly as speculation. == Consequences of a positive result == If the experimental discriminator returns the predicted result, several interpretive readings of the framework gain physical support rather than remaining speculative. ''Quantum mechanics as an observer-capacity-dependent regime.'' The framework's "chaos-wins" / "capacity-wins" distinction becomes a physical, not merely conceptual, partition. Standard quantum predictions are recovered to high accuracy in the capacity-wins regime; the framework predicts measurable departures in the chaos-wins regime. The quantum-classical transition then becomes information-theoretic and, in principle, controllable: throttling effective controller capacity should push a system across the transition without changing the plant. ''An epistemic reading of measurement.'' The framework's no-collapse account — measurement as an information-update inside a finite observer rather than a physical event in the world — becomes empirically defensible alongside other interpretations of the measurement problem, rather than a stipulation. ''Measurement-independence and locality.'' The framework's response to the conventional "conspiracy" objection against superdeterminism (common causal past plus a global consistency constraint, in place of fine-tuned initial conditions) becomes a substantive position rather than a philosophical reframing. Whether this amounts to a non-conspiratorial reading consistent with local realism remains a live debate; a positive result moves that debate from speculation onto experimental terrain. ''The Penrose-Objective-Reduction comparison.'' The framework's prediction depends on controller bandwidth rather than mass or geometry; a positive BLQC result combined with the absence of the ''t''<sub>OR</sub> ∝ ''s'' / ''m''<sup>2</sup> scaling would discriminate the two mechanisms experimentally. ''The interpretive analogy.'' The structural analogy between σ<sub>θ</sub><sup>2</sup>(''t'') and the Vedantic notion of ''avidyā'' gains a concrete physical anchor rather than remaining purely analogical. The framework's claim is structural rather than metaphysical; a positive result strengthens the structural mapping, but does not itself adjudicate the philosophical positions the mapping connects. None of these consequences is established by the experimental discriminator on its own. What the test establishes, if positive, is that the framework's bridge from a control-theoretic measurement model to these interpretive readings has a physical basis. The interpretive work in each direction remains. == Documents == The framework's documents are published at [https://ignorantobserver.xyz ignorantobserver.xyz].

Several are diagnosed in the framework's own manuscripts; others reflect critiques the author has received in correspondence or anticipates from sophisticated readers. They are deliberately phrased from outside the framework's assumptions, not from within them. # '''Useful capacity versus thermodynamic bound'''. The framework uses the Landauer expression ''C'' ≤ ''P'' / (''k''<sub>B</sub> ''T'' ln 2) to relate controller input power ''P'' to channel capacity. Landauer is an ideal upper bound on bit-erasure cost; it does not guarantee that increased ''P'' actually translates to increased ''useful'' basis-tracking capacity. Additional power can equally well couple to actuator noise, electromagnetic leakage, vibration, or backaction channels that do not constrain the basis variable θ. Establishing that Δ''P'' → Δ''C''<sub>eff</sub> in the predicted direction — with realistic loss budgets for the candidate apparatus — is a substantive engineering claim that the framework does not by itself establish. # '''Existence of positive ''h''<sub>KS</sub> in engineered apparatus'''. Many precision controllers (phase-locked loops, qubit readout chains, interferometer servo systems) are explicitly engineered to suppress chaotic dynamics. The basis-defining degrees of freedom may exhibit colored noise, slow drift, or stochastic control error rather than positive-''h''<sub>KS</sub> chaos in the Pesin sense. If the relevant dynamics are not chaotic in this sense, the ''h''<sub>KS</sub> framing may not apply at all, and a different rate-distortion accounting (or none) would be needed. Even where positive ''h''<sub>KS</sub> can be identified, the operationally relevant rate may differ substantially from textbook surrogate estimates (kicked rotor, logistic map) used illustratively in the manuscripts. # '''Rate-distortion extension to nonlinear / chaotic systems'''. The mapping from channel capacity ''C'' to angular tracking variance σ<sub>θ</sub><sup>2</sup> ≥ ''D''/(''C'' ln 2) assumes a high-rate coder model and the framework extends the Data-Rate Theorem from linear plants to nonlinear chaotic systems by substituting ''h''<sub>KS</sub>. This extension is an explicit assumption, not a proven theorem. If the extension fails, the closed-form visibility law and the κ-regime structure both lose their derivation. # '''Gaussian small-angle assumption'''. The visibility expression ''V''(''t'') = exp(−½ σ<sub>θ</sub><sup>2</sup>) requires σ<sub>θ</sub> ≲ 1 rad and a Gaussian basis-tracking error distribution. Non-Gaussian, heavy-tailed, or state-dependent δθ would break the closed-form double-exponential law. # '''Decoherence and control-noise confound'''. Distinguishing the predicted visibility loss from ordinary environmental dephasing, alignment drift, and detector systematics is the central experimental challenge. The framework's answer is the sign-reversal under power variation at clamped ''T'' — a conceptually clean discriminator that is engineering-hard to realise. Independent calibration of ''C''<sub>eff</sub> may be the single largest practical hurdle. # '''Prior-art and reparameterization risk'''. The proposed double-exponential visibility signature may already be expressible within existing frameworks: compound dephasing channels with two or more contributing rates, classical feedback-loop instability, or hidden-variable control-noise models with appropriate parameter choices. The framework should be able to show that its prediction is genuinely new rather than a reparameterization of one of these known phenomena. The author's adversarial-mimic analysis is in progress, and a positive result on that front would substantially strengthen the framework's empirical claim. # '''Bell / locality consistency'''. The framework implies a structural violation of statistical measurement-independence. The author's response (common causal past plus global consistency, in place of fine-tuned initial conditions) is a philosophical reframing rather than a no-signalling lemma. A proper consistency proof has not been published. # '''Forensic-signature interpretation'''. The Forensic Signatures preprint applies a screening protocol to existing data from Chinese 63-qubit processors, Google Sycamore, and LIGO glitch records. The paper's own domain-of-validity statement is that BLQC applies in observer-limited rather than plant-limited regimes, and the protocol finds power-law dominance on the qubit datasets (consistent with that statement) and 43% Gompertz-consistent events on LIGO (consistent with BLQC). The paper flags a controller-regime confound for the LIGO result and is explicit that retrospective findings do not establish causal attribution to BLQC; the case rests on the prospective controlled-capacity experiment. The objection here is the standard one for retrospective signal analyses: even where the predicted geometry is present, it remains compatible with alternative explanations until the controlled experiment runs. # '''Observer language'''. The framework's "observer" plays two distinct roles: the physical apparatus / controller whose finite ''C''<sub>eff</sub> and ''h''<sub>KS</sub> appear in the equations, and the epistemic subject for whom measurement outcomes are or are not determinate. The framework treats these as connected but not identified, and the distinction is load-bearing. Critics will reasonably worry — especially given the framework's interpretive engagement with non-dual philosophy and the philosophy of mind — that consciousness is being smuggled into the foundations of measurement under physical vocabulary. The framework's defence is that the BLQC experimental claim is stated entirely in apparatus-level terms; whether that defence holds depends on the framework keeping the two senses of "observer" rigorously separate. # '''Interpretive vocabulary'''. Some of the framework's documents draw on vocabulary from philosophy of mind and non-dual philosophy (notably Advaita Vedānta) alongside the physical derivations. Readers who find this vocabulary off-putting are invited to evaluate the empirical content from the BLQC manuscript, which uses only standard physics and control-theory language. # '''Peer-review status and independent replication'''. The framework has not yet undergone peer review, and the experimental discriminator has not been independently replicated. This is the actual current epistemic status of the work. The framework's case must be evaluated on its merits in the documents linked above and on the conduct of the prospective experiment, not on any external imprimatur. == Invitation for review == This page is offered as a venue for substantive critique. The author is particularly interested in engagement on the following: * '''From physicists working on quantum control or precision interferometry''': is the proposed sign-reversal under controller-power variation at clamped temperature genuinely distinguishable from known instrumental artefacts (closed-loop resonances, thermal-noise mismodelling, photon-shot-noise rebalancing at higher gain), and what existing apparatus would be best positioned to perform the test? * '''From decoherence theorists''': under what conditions does the proposed double-exponential visibility law overlap with compound-channel decoherence models in ways that would make the two empirically indistinguishable? Is there a parameter regime where the framework's prediction is genuinely new rather than a reparameterisation of existing models? * '''From researchers in the foundations of quantum mechanics''': how should the framework's structural violation of measurement-independence be evaluated against the alternatives in the superdeterminism / retrocausality / many-worlds landscape, and what would constitute a satisfactory consistency proof? * '''From philosophers of mind''': the Advaita / RQM interpretive layer is offered conditionally on the empirical core. Is the conditional structure ("these readings are available ''if'' the empirical claim survives") presented clearly enough, or does it still amount to overreach? Comments, references to prior or parallel work the author may not be aware of, and pointers to potential confounds or alternative explanations are all welcome.

The technical derivation extends the Data-Rate Theorem of Nair & Evans (2004) and Tatikonda & Mitter (2004) from linear plants to nonlinear, chaotic systems by substituting ''h''<sub>KS</sub> for the sum-of-positive-eigenvalues bound. This extension is an explicit assumption of the framework rather than a proven theorem (see [[#Open objections|Open objections]]). == Experimental discriminator == The framework prescribes the following experimental protocol as its central falsifiable test. '''Independent variable''': controller input power ''P''. The controller is the physical system whose state defines and maintains the measurement basis (e.g. an interferometer phase-locking loop, a qubit readout chain, the active feedback in a precision interferometer). '''Held constant''': the environmental temperature ''T'' at which the controller operates, by independent active thermal feedback. Holding ''T'' constant while varying ''P'' is what distinguishes the framework's prediction from standard thermal decoherence (which depends on ''T'' and ignores ''P''). '''Dependent variable''': the visibility-decay breakdown time ''t''<sub>break</sub>, fitted to interference data at a chosen visibility threshold (e.g. ''V''* = 0.5). '''Prediction''': ∂''t''<sub>break</sub>/∂''P'' > 0 at clamped ''T'', with the visibility curve ''V''(''t'') fitting the double-exponential form exp(−½ σ<sub>0</sub><sup>2</sup> e<sup>2κ''t''</sup>) better than a standard exponential ''e''<sup>−Γ''t''</sup> or Gaussian ''e''<sup>−γ''t''²</sup>. '''What would count as falsification'''. Any of the following null findings counts against the framework: * ∂''t''<sub>break</sub>/∂''P'' ≤ 0 at clamped ''T'' (i.e. increasing controller power does not extend, or shortens, coherence time); * ''V''(''t'') fits a single-exponential or Gaussian dephasing law significantly better than the double-exponential form, in the regime where the framework predicts the double-exponential should dominate; * ''t''<sub>break</sub> scales with the gravitational self-energy timescale ''t''<sub>OR</sub> ∝ ''s'' / ''m''<sup>2</sup> (the [[Penrose interpretation of quantum mechanics|Penrose Objective Reduction]] prediction) rather than with ''C''<sub>eff</sub>; * ''C''<sub>eff</sub> cannot be calibrated independently of ''t''<sub>break</sub> (in which case the prediction would be unfalsifiable, which would itself count against the framework's experimental status). The [https://www.qgemproject.com/ QGEM] pathfinder is cited in the BLQC manuscript as one candidate testbed; superconducting-qubit readout chains and precision interferometer phase-locking loops are others. == Relation to quantum foundations == The framework is connected to, and partly draws from, several existing positions in the foundations of quantum mechanics. * '''Brukner's information-theoretic reconstructions''' provide a precedent for treating information limits as structural constraints in quantum theory. * '''Relational Quantum Mechanics''' (Rovelli) takes measurement outcomes to be relative to an observer-system; the framework provides one possible mechanism (finite ''C''<sub>eff</sub>) for what makes one observer's frame physically inequivalent to another's. * '''Decoherence theory''' is not opposed by the framework. The framework's prediction sits beside ordinary environmental decoherence and is intended to be ''distinguishable'' from it by the sign-reversal under power variation; in the capacity-wins regime (κ < 0) standard decoherence theory is recovered. * '''Measurement-independence'''. Because the framework treats the measurement basis as a dynamical variable with its own causal history, if extended to Bell-type set-ups it appears to imply a structural violation of statistical measurement-independence. The framework's response to the conventional "conspiracy" objection against superdeterminism is to attribute the correlation to common causal past plus a global consistency constraint rather than to fine-tuned initial conditions. This response is philosophical rather than mathematical and the formal extension (including a no-signalling treatment) is itself an open question (see [[#Open objections|Open objections]]). * '''Penrose Objective Reduction''' is treated as an ''orthogonal'' competing mechanism whose predicted ''t''<sub>OR</sub> ∝ ''s'' / ''m''<sup>2</sup> scaling can be experimentally distinguished from the framework's ''C''<sub>eff</sub>-driven ''t''<sub>break</sub>. The numerical proximity of the two timescales in the mesoscopic regime motivates the protocol described in the next section but is treated as a coincidence pending experimental evidence. == Philosophical interpretation == ''This section describes interpretive extensions of the framework that go beyond the empirical core. Nothing in this section is a load-bearing element of the experimental claim. If the experimental discriminator returns a null result, the claimed physical realization of these interpretive readings within the framework would fall. The interpretive positions themselves — Advaita Vedānta, relational quantum mechanics — do not stand or fall on an interferometry experiment; what stands or falls is the framework's specific physical mapping into them.'' A direct statement of the framework's interpretive position appears in ''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Hard_Problem_After_Deflation.pdf The Hard Problem Dissolved — But Into What? A Critical Response to Carlo Rovelli's "There Is No 'Hard Problem of Consciousness'"]'' (Dekker, May 2026). The response engages Rovelli's recent Noema essay, marks the substantial ground it shares with the framework, and identifies where the framework presses beyond Rovelli's deflationary physicalism toward a non-dual reading. Readers approaching the framework from philosophy of mind may find that essay the most accessible entry point. The framework's interpretive layer is developed in dialogue with two existing positions. The first is Carlo Rovelli's relational quantum mechanics. The framework can be read as supplying a candidate physical mechanism — the ''C''<sub>eff</sub> versus ''h''<sub>KS</sub> inequality — for what makes a measurement outcome relative to an observer rather than absolute. On this reading, the framework is a mechanistic specification of an idea that RQM leaves at the level of principle. The second is the Advaita Vedānta tradition (Śaṅkara, Ramaṇa Mahaṛṣi), in which the apparent independence of the experiencing subject from the perceived world is treated as a structural feature of ignorance (''avidyā'') rather than a metaphysical fact. The framework's σ<sub>θ</sub><sup>2</sup>(''t'') — the growing basis-tracking error of an observer whose capacity is insufficient to track its own apparatus — admits a structural analogy with avidyā as the phenomenological self-opacity of an embodied subject. The framework neither asserts that this analogy is more than structural nor that any experimental result could confirm or refute Advaita as a philosophical position; it offers the analogy as a way of locating the framework within a non-dual reading of the measurement problem for readers who find that reading useful. Readers who prefer to ignore both interpretive readings should be able to evaluate the framework's empirical content from the [[#Technical proposal|Technical proposal]] and [[#Experimental discriminator|Experimental discriminator]] sections alone. A further speculative extension, ''[https://ignorantobserver.xyz/documents/Creation_of_Duality.pdf The Creation of Duality]'', asks whether space, time, objecthood, and gravity-like structure can themselves be read as features of a consistent finite-observer world-model, with a Bridge Ansatz ''E''<sub>G</sub> = (π/2)ℏκ linking the deficit rate κ to a gravitational energy scale via Margolus–Levitin saturation. Its scientific status is contingent on the BLQC experimental discriminator; until then it is offered explicitly as speculation. == Consequences of a positive result == If the experimental discriminator returns the predicted result, several interpretive readings of the framework gain physical support rather than remaining speculative. ''Quantum mechanics as an observer-capacity-dependent regime.'' The framework's "chaos-wins" / "capacity-wins" distinction becomes a physical, not merely conceptual, partition. Standard quantum predictions are recovered to high accuracy in the capacity-wins regime; the framework predicts measurable departures in the chaos-wins regime. The quantum-classical transition then becomes information-theoretic and, in principle, controllable: throttling effective controller capacity should push a system across the transition without changing the plant. ''An epistemic reading of measurement.'' The framework's no-collapse account — measurement as an information-update inside a finite observer rather than a physical event in the world — becomes empirically defensible alongside other interpretations of the measurement problem, rather than a stipulation. ''Measurement-independence and locality.'' The framework's response to the conventional "conspiracy" objection against superdeterminism (common causal past plus a global consistency constraint, in place of fine-tuned initial conditions) becomes a substantive position rather than a philosophical reframing. Whether this amounts to a non-conspiratorial reading consistent with local realism remains a live debate; a positive result moves that debate from speculation onto experimental terrain. ''The Penrose-Objective-Reduction comparison.'' The framework's prediction depends on controller bandwidth rather than mass or geometry; a positive BLQC result combined with the absence of the ''t''<sub>OR</sub> ∝ ''s'' / ''m''<sup>2</sup> scaling would discriminate the two mechanisms experimentally. ''The interpretive analogy.'' The structural analogy between σ<sub>θ</sub><sup>2</sup>(''t'') and the Vedantic notion of ''avidyā'' gains a concrete physical anchor rather than remaining purely analogical. The framework's claim is structural rather than metaphysical; a positive result strengthens the structural mapping, but does not itself adjudicate the philosophical positions the mapping connects. None of these consequences is established by the experimental discriminator on its own. What the test establishes, if positive, is that the framework's bridge from a control-theoretic measurement model to these interpretive readings has a physical basis. The interpretive work in each direction remains. == Documents == The framework's documents are published at [https://ignorantobserver.xyz ignorantobserver.xyz].

Several are diagnosed in the framework's own manuscripts; others reflect critiques the author has received in correspondence or anticipates from sophisticated readers. They are deliberately phrased from outside the framework's assumptions, not from within them. # '''Useful capacity versus thermodynamic bound'''. The framework uses the Landauer expression ''C'' ≤ ''P'' / (''k''<sub>B</sub> ''T'' ln 2) to relate controller input power ''P'' to channel capacity. Landauer is an ideal upper bound on bit-erasure cost; it does not guarantee that increased ''P'' actually translates to increased ''useful'' basis-tracking capacity. Additional power can equally well couple to actuator noise, electromagnetic leakage, vibration, or backaction channels that do not constrain the basis variable θ. Establishing that Δ''P'' → Δ''C''<sub>eff</sub> in the predicted direction — with realistic loss budgets for the candidate apparatus — is a substantive engineering claim that the framework does not by itself establish. # '''Existence of positive ''h''<sub>KS</sub> in engineered apparatus'''. Many precision controllers (phase-locked loops, qubit readout chains, interferometer servo systems) are explicitly engineered to suppress chaotic dynamics. The basis-defining degrees of freedom may exhibit colored noise, slow drift, or stochastic control error rather than positive-''h''<sub>KS</sub> chaos in the Pesin sense. If the relevant dynamics are not chaotic in this sense, the ''h''<sub>KS</sub> framing may not apply at all, and a different rate-distortion accounting (or none) would be needed. Even where positive ''h''<sub>KS</sub> can be identified, the operationally relevant rate may differ substantially from textbook surrogate estimates (kicked rotor, logistic map) used illustratively in the manuscripts. # '''Rate-distortion extension to nonlinear / chaotic systems'''. The mapping from channel capacity ''C'' to angular tracking variance σ<sub>θ</sub><sup>2</sup> ≥ ''D''/(''C'' ln 2) assumes a high-rate coder model and the framework extends the Data-Rate Theorem from linear plants to nonlinear chaotic systems by substituting ''h''<sub>KS</sub>. This extension is an explicit assumption, not a proven theorem. If the extension fails, the closed-form visibility law and the κ-regime structure both lose their derivation. # '''Gaussian small-angle assumption'''. The visibility expression ''V''(''t'') = exp(−½ σ<sub>θ</sub><sup>2</sup>) requires σ<sub>θ</sub> ≲ 1 rad and a Gaussian basis-tracking error distribution. Non-Gaussian, heavy-tailed, or state-dependent δθ would break the closed-form double-exponential law. # '''Decoherence and control-noise confound'''. Distinguishing the predicted visibility loss from ordinary environmental dephasing, alignment drift, and detector systematics is the central experimental challenge. The framework's answer is the sign-reversal under power variation at clamped ''T'' — a conceptually clean discriminator that is engineering-hard to realise. Independent calibration of ''C''<sub>eff</sub> may be the single largest practical hurdle. # '''Prior-art and reparameterization risk'''. The proposed double-exponential visibility signature may already be expressible within existing frameworks: compound dephasing channels with two or more contributing rates, classical feedback-loop instability, or hidden-variable control-noise models with appropriate parameter choices. The framework should be able to show that its prediction is genuinely new rather than a reparameterization of one of these known phenomena. The author's adversarial-mimic analysis is in progress, and a positive result on that front would substantially strengthen the framework's empirical claim. # '''Bell / locality consistency'''. The framework implies a structural violation of statistical measurement-independence. The author's response (common causal past plus global consistency, in place of fine-tuned initial conditions) is a philosophical reframing rather than a no-signalling lemma. A proper consistency proof has not been published. # '''Forensic-signature interpretation'''. The Forensic Signatures preprint applies a screening protocol to existing data from Chinese 63-qubit processors, Google Sycamore, and LIGO glitch records. The paper's own domain-of-validity statement is that BLQC applies in observer-limited rather than plant-limited regimes, and the protocol finds power-law dominance on the qubit datasets (consistent with that statement) and 43% Gompertz-consistent events on LIGO (consistent with BLQC). The paper flags a controller-regime confound for the LIGO result and is explicit that retrospective findings do not establish causal attribution to BLQC; the case rests on the prospective controlled-capacity experiment. The objection here is the standard one for retrospective signal analyses: even where the predicted geometry is present, it remains compatible with alternative explanations until the controlled experiment runs. # '''Observer language'''. The framework's "observer" plays two distinct roles: the physical apparatus / controller whose finite ''C''<sub>eff</sub> and ''h''<sub>KS</sub> appear in the equations, and the epistemic subject for whom measurement outcomes are or are not determinate. The framework treats these as connected but not identified, and the distinction is load-bearing. Critics will reasonably worry — especially given the framework's interpretive engagement with non-dual philosophy and the philosophy of mind — that consciousness is being smuggled into the foundations of measurement under physical vocabulary. The framework's defence is that the BLQC experimental claim is stated entirely in apparatus-level terms; whether that defence holds depends on the framework keeping the two senses of "observer" rigorously separate. # '''Interpretive vocabulary'''. Some of the framework's documents draw on vocabulary from philosophy of mind and non-dual philosophy (notably Advaita Vedānta) alongside the physical derivations. Readers who find this vocabulary off-putting are invited to evaluate the empirical content from the BLQC manuscript, which uses only standard physics and control-theory language. # '''Peer-review status and independent replication'''. The framework has not yet undergone peer review, and the experimental discriminator has not been independently replicated. This is the actual current epistemic status of the work. The framework's case must be evaluated on its merits in the documents linked above and on the conduct of the prospective experiment, not on any external imprimatur. == Invitation for review == This page is offered as a venue for substantive critique. The author is particularly interested in engagement on the following: * '''From physicists working on quantum control or precision interferometry''': is the proposed sign-reversal under controller-power variation at clamped temperature genuinely distinguishable from known instrumental artefacts (closed-loop resonances, thermal-noise mismodelling, photon-shot-noise rebalancing at higher gain), and what existing apparatus would be best positioned to perform the test? * '''From decoherence theorists''': under what conditions does the proposed double-exponential visibility law overlap with compound-channel decoherence models in ways that would make the two empirically indistinguishable? Is there a parameter regime where the framework's prediction is genuinely new rather than a reparameterisation of existing models? * '''From researchers in the foundations of quantum mechanics''': how should the framework's structural violation of measurement-independence be evaluated against the alternatives in the superdeterminism / retrocausality / many-worlds landscape, and what would constitute a satisfactory consistency proof? * '''From philosophers of mind''': the Advaita / RQM interpretive layer is offered conditionally on the empirical core. Is the conditional structure ("these readings are available ''if'' the empirical claim survives") presented clearly enough, or does it still amount to overreach? Comments, references to prior or parallel work the author may not be aware of, and pointers to potential confounds or alternative explanations are all welcome.

Will include my sources shortly when I go in edit mode, instead of filling out the reference tag html completely. Spent way too much time on this, I'd rather be playing banjo lol. 2810042 wikitext text/x-wiki The banjo is a stringed musical instrument that has traced roots to plucked lutes from West Africa, and musical traditions brought to the Americas by Africans. This instrument is associated with African American folk traditions, minstrel shows, old-time music, jazz, country, and bluegrass, and has evolved into the many audible styles heard today. == African Origins == The earliest forms of the banjo are found with the same basic construction as the West African plucked lute. These instruments feature animal skin soundboards, stick or spike necks, drone strings, and hollowed-out gourds for resonators. Examples of these include the akonting of the Jola people, the ngoni of the Mande peoples, the xalam, and other related lute traditions.<ref>{{Cite}}</ref> These instruments had key characteristics in common with early banjos, such as skin heads, floating bridges, drone strings, and percussive playing styles. == Early Banjo in America == The first account of an instrument similar to a banjo in the Americas date back to the 17th and 18th centuries in the Caribbean where African slaves built their instruments using gourds, animal skin, horsehair, plant fibers, and carved wood. These instruments were usually fretless and adapted from the specific materials available in their regions. European observers noted names like “banjar,” “banjer,” “banza,” and other similar spellings. == Colonial North America == By the 18th century, the banjo-like instruments spread throughout the American South and developed within communities of enslaved Africans and free people of African descent in the American colonies, playin major roles in social gatherings, storytelling traditions, and regional folk culture. Early instruments were handmade using locally available materials, often featuring gourd bodies, animal-skin tack heads, fretless necks, wooden friction tuning pegs, disconnected bridges, and gut or horsehair strings. == The Minstrel Age== From the early to mid-1800s, the banjo became an established piece of mainstream American entertainment through the form of minstrel shows. White performers painted their face black and played African American music, while undoubtedly promoting racist stereotypes. The minstrel era still had an enormous influence on banjo design, playing technique, and increasing manufacturing. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Sweeney Joel Walker Sweeney] is credited with popularizing the banjo with white audiences during this time. Traditions surrounding Sweeney include adding a fifth string, promoting stage performance, and helping commercialize the instrument. Claims about Sweeney are debated by scholars, especially regarding whether he truly “invented” the 5-string banjo. == Evolution of Construction == Early banjos used natural, dried gourds covered with skin, but in the 1800s, early luthiers started using wooden rims, tension hoops, hooks and nuts, and more standardized hardware. These upgrades made banjos more durable, repairable, adjustable (in regard to head tension and string action), and have a louder projection. In the late 1800s, frets started becoming common due to factories standardizing parts and made playing easier. == Banjo in Jazz == In the early 20th century, banjos were chosen for jazz orchestras because their drum-like head projected more clearly than early acoustic guitars. This period saw the rise of plectrum and tenor banjos, as well as the widespread use of resonator designs that improved projection in large ensembles. Jazz banjos also emphasized new forms of rhythm accompaniment and chord playing. == Old-Time Traditions == In Appalachia and the Southern United States, playing the banjo was done alongside fiddle-playing, gospel and folk ballad singing, and playing other folk instruments such as the guitar, autoharp, or dulcimer. Music passed on through family, neighbors, and community gatherings rather than formal education. African American and white rural musicians exchanged techniques and songs extensively. Old-time banjo traditions played styles such as clawhammer, frailing, two-finger picking, and other regional styles. == The Invention of Bluegrass == [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Scruggs Earl Scruggs] did not invent the three-finger picking style, but he did popularize and (arguably) perfected it during the 1940s and on. His work with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Monroe Bill Monroe] helped define [[Bluegrass music]] as a genre separate from hillbilly music. Scruggs-style method emphasizes fast arpeggios/rolling patterns and high-speed precision picking. This era cemented the resonator banjo as the dominant bluegrass instrument. == Folk Revival == The American folk revival in the 20th century renewed interest in old-time music, and traditional playing styles, with important figures including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Seeger Pete Seeger], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_Boggs Dock Boggs], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Dave_Macon Uncle Dave Macon]. == Modern Banjo Developments == Present-day banjo traditions include bluegrass, old-time, jazz, celtic music, and fusion genres.

This instrument is associated with African American folk traditions, minstrel shows, old-time music, jazz, country, and bluegrass, and has evolved into the many audible styles heard today. == African Origins == The earliest forms of the banjo are found with the same basic construction as the West African plucked lute. These instruments feature animal skin soundboards, stick or spike necks, drone strings, and hollowed-out gourds for resonators. Examples of these include the akonting of the Jola people, the ngoni of the Mande peoples, the xalam, and other related lute traditions.<ref>{{Cite}}</ref> These instruments had key characteristics in common with early banjos, such as skin heads, floating bridges, drone strings, and percussive playing styles. == Early Banjo in America == The first account of an instrument similar to a banjo in the Americas date back to the 17th and 18th centuries in the Caribbean where African slaves built their instruments using gourds, animal skin, horsehair, plant fibers, and carved wood. These instruments were usually fretless and adapted from the specific materials available in their regions. European observers noted names like “banjar,” “banjer,” “banza,” and other similar spellings. == Colonial North America == By the 18th century, the banjo-like instruments spread throughout the American South and developed within communities of enslaved Africans and free people of African descent in the American colonies, playin major roles in social gatherings, storytelling traditions, and regional folk culture. Early instruments were handmade using locally available materials, often featuring gourd bodies, animal-skin tack heads, fretless necks, wooden friction tuning pegs, disconnected bridges, and gut or horsehair strings. == The Minstrel Age== From the early to mid-1800s, the banjo became an established piece of mainstream American entertainment through the form of minstrel shows. White performers painted their face black and played African American music, while undoubtedly promoting racist stereotypes. The minstrel era still had an enormous influence on banjo design, playing technique, and increasing manufacturing. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Sweeney Joel Walker Sweeney] is credited with popularizing the banjo with white audiences during this time. Traditions surrounding Sweeney include adding a fifth string, promoting stage performance, and helping commercialize the instrument. Claims about Sweeney are debated by scholars, especially regarding whether he truly “invented” the 5-string banjo. == Evolution of Construction == Early banjos used natural, dried gourds covered with skin, but in the 1800s, early luthiers started using wooden rims, tension hoops, hooks and nuts, and more standardized hardware. These upgrades made banjos more durable, repairable, adjustable (in regard to head tension and string action), and have a louder projection. In the late 1800s, frets started becoming common due to factories standardizing parts and made playing easier. == Banjo in Jazz == In the early 20th century, banjos were chosen for jazz orchestras because their drum-like head projected more clearly than early acoustic guitars. This period saw the rise of plectrum and tenor banjos, as well as the widespread use of resonator designs that improved projection in large ensembles. Jazz banjos also emphasized new forms of rhythm accompaniment and chord playing. == Old-Time Traditions == In Appalachia and the Southern United States, playing the banjo was done alongside fiddle-playing, gospel and folk ballad singing, and playing other folk instruments such as the guitar, autoharp, or dulcimer. Music passed on through family, neighbors, and community gatherings rather than formal education. African American and white rural musicians exchanged techniques and songs extensively. Old-time banjo traditions played styles such as clawhammer, frailing, two-finger picking, and other regional styles. == The Invention of Bluegrass == [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_Scruggs Earl Scruggs] did not invent the three-finger picking style, but he did popularize and (arguably) perfected it during the 1940s and on. His work with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Monroe Bill Monroe] helped define [[Bluegrass music]] as a genre separate from hillbilly music. Scruggs-style method emphasizes fast arpeggios/rolling patterns and high-speed precision picking. This era cemented the resonator banjo as the dominant bluegrass instrument. == Folk Revival == The American folk revival in the 20th century renewed interest in old-time music, and traditional playing styles, with important figures including [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Seeger Pete Seeger], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dock_Boggs Dock Boggs], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Dave_Macon Uncle Dave Macon]. == Modern Banjo Developments == Present-day banjo traditions include bluegrass, old-time, jazz, celtic music, and fusion genres. Luthiers can experiment with electric pickups, hybrid designs, synthetic heads, and metalworking for custom pieces. There exists a mystique around pre-World War II Banjos having a distinct tone, possibly because of the varying compositions of metals used in the materials. == Sources == [[Category:Banjo]] [[Category:History]] 3yuotkbfxp0czysrc1pyykkaszh0nfi 2810046 2810043 2026-05-18T04:53:02Z Kirby - Electrotechnics 3074947 Included sources. 2810046 wikitext text/x-wiki The banjo is a stringed musical instrument that has traced roots to plucked lutes from West Africa, and musical traditions brought to the Americas by Africans.
