== The Wikiversity:Main page learning project ==
The [[Wikiversity:Main page learning project]] was launched after the redesign of the main page in December 2007. The [[Wikiversity:Main page learning project]] has as its goal "the promotion of responsible involvement of the Wikiversity community in an efficient, productive, open and inclusive maintenance of the Wikiversity main page as a flagship of the activity and values of the Wikiversity community". If you would like to get involved in the design of the main page, this is where to go.
If you have general comments about the main page, but you don't especially want to get involved in the main page project, then you can also leave comments on the [[Wikiversity_talk:Main page learning project|talk page for the main page learning project]].
:I've suggested that it might be time to retire the "quote of the day" project and remove the quotes from the Main Page. See: [[Wikiversity talk:Main page learning project/QOTD]]. It might also be appropriate to deprecate the inactive [[Wikiversity:Main page learning project]] and archive it.

:It isn't a policy, but it's a guideline for people who are wanting to register an account are recommended to follow (as per the page, which could be changed with community consensus). I see no reason for this statement to be "dead". —[[User:Atcovi|Atcovi]] [[User talk:Atcovi|(Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Atcovi|Contribs)]] 00:15, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

== LinkedIn ==
I insist that a Wikiversity page should be added on LinkedIn. Wikimedia has its LinkedIn page; Wikipedia, too. But not Wikiversity. I tried to show my Swedish studies but could not choose Wikiversity as the Institution. Why not? Even when it is not a "granting degree" Institution, is is still an Institution, right? When I contacted LinkedIn about this, they sent me the link so that I can create myself the Wikiversity page. But then there is box I must tick: " I confirm I am an approved authority of this Institution to create this page", which is not the case. But I think there are many Wikiversity experts on here that woud qualify as Wikiversity Linkedin page creators. I can create the page if someone here approves, but I would need some info: # of employees, etc. --[[User:Leonardo T. Cardillo|Leonardo T. Cardillo]] ([[User talk:Leonardo T.

:The information would go here [https://www.linkedin.com/company/setup/new/ Wikiversity institution] but it probably should have a bureaucrat or someone from the WMF tick "I verify that I am an authorized representative of this organization and have the right to act on its behalf in the creation and management of this page. The organization and I agree to the additional terms for Pages." The number of employees (volunteers is not an option but we are unpaid) for our Wikiversity I guess could be the number of active users 201-500. The current logo is File:Wikiversity logo 2017.svg.

{{At|Leonardo T. Cardillo}} Wikiversity is a community. None of us gets to insist that anything happen on behalf of the community unless there is consensus to do so. This requires a discussion in the [[Wikiversity:Colloquium]] and a vote for support or lack thereof. Because this request involves an outside organization, it may also require support from the WMF.
I have some concerns at this point that your passion regarding this issue far exceeds your demonstrated commitment to either Wikiversity or the wider Wikimedia community. It might be better to let this rest for a bit and learn more about how Wikiversity functions before insisting that this be discussed. -- [[User:Dave Braunschweig|Dave Braunschweig]] ([[User talk:Dave Braunschweig|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dave Braunschweig|contribs]]) 03:29, 19 January 2020 (UTC)
:{{At|Dave Braunschweig}}: I apologize for the use of the word "insist", I have taken note to not use it anymore here to avoid distractions from the main topic of conversation. Also, I do not like you judge how much my passions should go against my level of contributions. With that being said, and for my personal learning on this environment, can someone please guide me on the very first step I should take to have a Wikiversity page created on LinkedIn? I think you mentioned something like a "poll", how do I do that? --[[User:Leonardo T. Cardillo|Leonardo T. Cardillo]] ([[User talk:Leonardo T. Cardillo|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Leonardo T.

::{{At|Leonardo T. Cardillo}} I have already guided you on the next step to take. Please read my response carefully. Then slow down and learn more about Wikiversity. We often have people come in with high passions and quick fixes that Wikiversity must make in order to improve. They're typically gone within a month and we're left having to clean up after them. That's not to suggest that this is or isn't a good idea. It is simply to point out that this is a community. You must first learn to work with the community before you try to change it.

== Building Construction: Means & Methods ==
Building construction is the process of adding structure to real property. The vast majority of building construction projects are small renovations, such as addition of a room, or renovation of a bathroom. Often, the owner of the property acts as laborer, paymaster, and design team for the entire project. However, all building construction projects include some elements in common - design, financial, and legal considerations. Many projects of varying sizes reach undesirable end results, such as structure collapse, cost overruns, and/or litigation. For this reason, those with experience in the field make detailed plans and maintain careful oversight during the project to ensure a positive outcome.
Building construction is procured privately or publicly utilizing various delivery methodologies, including hard bid, negotiated price, traditional, management contracting, construction management-at-risk, design & build and design-build bridging.
Residential construction practices, technologies, and resources must conform to local building authority regulations and codes of practice. Materials readily available in the area generally dictate the construction materials used (e.g. brick versus stone, versus timber). Cost of construction on a per square metre (or per square foot) basis for houses can vary dramatically based on site conditions, local regulations, economies of scale (custom designed homes are always more expensive to build) and the availability of skilled tradespeople. As residential (as well as all other types of construction and manufactured homes) can generate a lot of waste, careful planning again is needed here.
The most popular method of residential construction in the United States is wood framed construction. As efficiency codes have come into effect in recent years, new construction technologies and methods have emerged. University Construction Management departments are on the cutting edge of the newest methods of construction intended to improve efficiency, performance and reduce construction waste.

== Construction of Buildings Foundation ==
There are several foundation types we are using in constructions such as pile foundation, raft foundation, pad foundation, combined footing, rubble foundation and spread footing. The selection of foundation type depends on the soil condition and the load about to apply on it. We commonly use pile foundations where apply heavy load such as several stories building and where the soil bearing capacity is very poor like backfill areas, marshy land areas and in sandy areas. For normal houses we use rubble works with pad foundation type. A column foundations we use spread footing type.In any building industry,foundation details is an essential factor in consideration.
== Wood Construction ==
* Timber framing
* Wood furniture restoration
* Wood Coating
* Wood Layering
* Wood Tiles
* Wood Floor Boards
== Concrete & Reinforced Concrete ==
* [[Wikipedia: Reinforced concrete]]
This concrete is termed as RCC since along with the concrete reinforcement is also present. There are various grade of concrete used based on the building load. The grades of concrete start from M15 to M40 and special grade can be of M60,M80. The mix grade can be of proportion of coarse sand/M-sand+cement & slag/fly ash + 10mm down aggregate+ 20mm aggregate + water + admixtures.These trial mixes are designed & tested in labs for 07 days and 28 days to check the strength to be achieved based on the grade of the concrete. Once the trial mix design gets approved the same design can be used at sites.
The common equipments used for mixing of above said ingredients are:
* weigh batcher+concrete drum mixer operated electrically or by diesel
* batching plants of capacity 0.5 cum, 1.0 cum, 2.0 cum or 3.0cum
As we are discussing about RCC, we should discuss about Formwork also.
Regarding formwork there are two types:
* Conventional formwork
* Modern day formwork
:1. Conventional Formwork:
:In this system
:* shuttering plates
:* planks/plywood(commercial or marine)(8mm,10mm,12mm,20mm,25mm thick)for sides,bottoms are used
:* to erect and support this formwork- timber, adjustable props, side alignment props,cup-lock system, table form system,etc.are used.
:* Before the formwork is ready for receiving the reinforcement the surface of the formwork will be oiled which will act as stripping agent while stripping.
:* Once all the reinforcement placing and tying works are completed, the alignment and level check is done.
:* After obtaining the checking clearance, concrete is placed.
:2. System Formwork:
:Following are the systems in the modern day:
:* self climbing or slip formwork
:* Mivan/Pascal formwork
:* Proper preparatory works are to be carried out since once the erection of formwork starts, the same will be moving up and up and will be difficult to rectify if any defects observed and also it is a continuous process.To erect and support this formwork-adjustable props, side alignment props,etc.are used.
:* Before the formwork is ready for receiving the reinforcement the surface of the formwork will be oiled which will act as stripping agent while stripping.
:* Once all the reinforcement placing and tying works are completed, the alignment and level check is done.
:* After obtaining the checking clearance, concrete is placed.
:* The concrete used in these type of formwork, a highly flowable concrete is used keeping the grade of concrete similar to the normal concrete.
The mix concrete produced by the above methods can be transported by wheel barrows, transit mixers(of capacities 1.0cum,3.0cum,6.0cum,7.0cum)and placed in the confined conventional formwork either by manual or pumping means. For pumping of concrete to various depths,heights and distances the most common equipments used are concrete pumps,boom placers,tower cranes and concrete buckets.
After placing of concrete in the confined formwork, the concrete should be vibrated either by manual or vibrators with vibrator needles and tamping the sides with the help of wooden tampers for concrete to flow to all corners and also to remove the entrapped air bubbles. With this process the entire concrete placed will become dense and no honey-combing are seen once the formwork is stripped down.
While placing the concrete, a set of cubes for 07 days/28 days are casted, which will be tested in the lab for checking the strength of concrete and comparing to the design mix strength. Based on the achieved strength for 07 days, the time period for de-stripping of formwork is fixed and proper supporting to be kept till the curing period and 28 days.
== Steel and Composite Structures ==
* [[Wikipedia: Steel building]]
Steel Buildings:
These are one type of buildings out of other type like RCC, masonry buildings etc.
These are mostly predominant in the industrial and commercial industry like industrial sheds.
The common components are mainly like foundations with foundation bolts, Vertical columns, trusses, purlins, side sheeting, roof sheeting etc.
In the modern day technology, usage of PEB(Pre-engineered building) structures is on the rise.
These structures can be erected and completed very fastly, as they are fabricated at ground and erected. Round the clock work can be carried out by taking proper safety measures.
These structures can be used for storages, manufacturing units, logistics, etc.
These structures are more safer than concrete buildings from earthquakes as damages are very minimal.
Nowadays more and more residential buildings are being constructed as steel buildings as there structural life span is comparatively more.
Even with these structures, the environment is protected as the generation of construction debris is less and can be recycled.
== Finishing Materials ==
=== Exterior finishing materials ===
The common exterior finishing materials used are:
# Paints
# Natural stones-granite,marble,etc.ceramics tiles
# Textures
# Glass
# Aluminium sheeting,ACP
# Glass Fibre sheets
# Roof tiles
# Wood/timber

== Building Construction: Means & Methods ==
Building construction is the process of adding structure to real property. The vast majority of building construction projects are small renovations, such as addition of a room, or renovation of a bathroom. Often, the owner of the property acts as laborer, paymaster, and design team for the entire project. However, all building construction projects include some elements in common - design, financial, and legal considerations. Many projects of varying sizes reach undesirable end results, such as structure collapse, cost overruns, and/or litigation. For this reason, those with experience in the field make detailed plans and maintain careful oversight during the project to ensure a positive outcome.
Building construction is procured privately or publicly utilizing various delivery methodologies, including hard bid, negotiated price, traditional, management contracting, construction management-at-risk, design & build and design-build bridging.
Residential construction practices, technologies, and resources must conform to local building authority regulations and codes of practice. Materials readily available in the area generally dictate the construction materials used (e.g. brick versus stone, versus timber). Cost of construction on a per square metre (or per square foot) basis for houses can vary dramatically based on site conditions, local regulations, economies of scale (custom designed homes are always more expensive to build) and the availability of skilled tradespeople. As residential (as well as all other types of construction and manufactured homes) can generate a lot of waste, careful planning again is needed here.
The most popular method of residential construction in the United States is wood framed construction. As efficiency codes have come into effect in recent years, new construction technologies and methods have emerged. University Construction Management departments are on the cutting edge of the newest methods of construction intended to improve efficiency, performance and reduce construction waste.
== Construction of Buildings Foundation ==
There are several foundation types we are using in constructions such as pile foundation, raft foundation, pad foundation, combined footing, rubble foundation and spread footing. The selection of foundation type depends on the soil condition and the load about to apply on it. We commonly use pile foundations where apply heavy load such as several stories building and where the soil bearing capacity is very poor like backfill areas, marshy land areas and in sandy areas. For normal houses we use rubble works with pad foundation type. A column foundations we use spread footing type.In any building industry,foundation details is an essential factor in consideration.
== Wood Construction ==
* Timber framing
* Wood furniture restoration
* Wood Coating
* Wood Layering
* Wood Tiles
* Wood Floor Boards
== Concrete & Reinforced Concrete ==
* [[Wikipedia: Reinforced concrete]]
This concrete is termed as RCC since along with the concrete reinforcement is also present. There are various grade of concrete used based on the building load. The grades of concrete start from M15 to M40 and special grade can be of M60,M80. The mix grade can be of proportion of coarse sand/M-sand+cement & slag/fly ash + 10mm down aggregate+ 20mm aggregate + water + admixtures.These trial mixes are designed & tested in labs for 07 days and 28 days to check the strength to be achieved based on the grade of the concrete. Once the trial mix design gets approved the same design can be used at sites.
The common equipments used for mixing of above said ingredients are:
* weigh batcher+concrete drum mixer operated electrically or by diesel
* batching plants of capacity 0.5 cum, 1.0 cum, 2.0 cum or 3.0cum
As we are discussing about RCC, we should discuss about Formwork also.
Regarding formwork there are two types:
* Conventional formwork
* Modern day formwork
:1. Conventional Formwork:
:In this system
:* shuttering plates
:* planks/plywood(commercial or marine)(8mm,10mm,12mm,20mm,25mm thick)for sides,bottoms are used
:* to erect and support this formwork- timber, adjustable props, side alignment props,cup-lock system, table form system,etc.are used.
:* Before the formwork is ready for receiving the reinforcement the surface of the formwork will be oiled which will act as stripping agent while stripping.
:* Once all the reinforcement placing and tying works are completed, the alignment and level check is done.
:* After obtaining the checking clearance, concrete is placed.
:2. System Formwork:
:Following are the systems in the modern day:
:* self climbing or slip formwork
:* Mivan/Pascal formwork
:* Proper preparatory works are to be carried out since once the erection of formwork starts, the same will be moving up and up and will be difficult to rectify if any defects observed and also it is a continuous process.To erect and support this formwork-adjustable props, side alignment props,etc.are used.
:* Before the formwork is ready for receiving the reinforcement the surface of the formwork will be oiled which will act as stripping agent while stripping.
:* Once all the reinforcement placing and tying works are completed, the alignment and level check is done.
:* After obtaining the checking clearance, concrete is placed.
:* The concrete used in these type of formwork, a highly flowable concrete is used keeping the grade of concrete similar to the normal concrete.
The mix concrete produced by the above methods can be transported by wheel barrows, transit mixers(of capacities 1.0cum,3.0cum,6.0cum,7.0cum)and placed in the confined conventional formwork either by manual or pumping means. For pumping of concrete to various depths,heights and distances the most common equipments used are concrete pumps,boom placers,tower cranes and concrete buckets.
After placing of concrete in the confined formwork, the concrete should be vibrated either by manual or vibrators with vibrator needles and tamping the sides with the help of wooden tampers for concrete to flow to all corners and also to remove the entrapped air bubbles. With this process the entire concrete placed will become dense and no honey-combing are seen once the formwork is stripped down.
While placing the concrete, a set of cubes for 07 days/28 days are casted, which will be tested in the lab for checking the strength of concrete and comparing to the design mix strength. Based on the achieved strength for 07 days, the time period for de-stripping of formwork is fixed and proper supporting to be kept till the curing period and 28 days.
== Steel and Composite Structures ==
* [[Wikipedia: Steel building]]
Steel Buildings:
These are one type of buildings out of other type like RCC, masonry buildings etc.
These are mostly predominant in the industrial and commercial industry like industrial sheds.
The common components are mainly like foundations with foundation bolts, Vertical columns, trusses, purlins, side sheeting, roof sheeting etc.
In the modern day technology, usage of PEB(Pre-engineered building) structures is on the rise.
These structures can be erected and completed very fastly, as they are fabricated at ground and erected. Round the clock work can be carried out by taking proper safety measures.
These structures can be used for storages, manufacturing units, logistics, etc.
These structures are more safer than concrete buildings from earthquakes as damages are very minimal.
Nowadays more and more residential buildings are being constructed as steel buildings as there structural life span is comparatively more.
Even with these structures, the environment is protected as the generation of construction debris is less and can be recycled.
== Finishing Materials ==
=== Exterior finishing materials ===
The common exterior finishing materials used are:
# Paints
# Natural stones-granite,marble,etc.ceramics tiles
# Textures
# Glass
# Aluminium sheeting,ACP
# Glass Fibre sheets
# Roof tiles
# Wood/timber
These materials are used as per the availability within the locality unless these are to be specially procured.
=== Interior finishing materials ===
The common interior finishing materials used are:
# Paints
# Natural stones - granite, marble, etc.
# Textures
# Glass
# Aluminium sheeting
# Glass Fibre sheets
# Ceramic/vitrified/mosaic tiles
# Wood/timber
# Gypboards

== Your feedback is welcome at [[User talk:Username142857]] ==
Dear my mentor, I believe we have already seen [[User:Username142857]] making too many non-Wikiversity questions at [[Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship/MathXplore]] and [[Wikiversity talk:Custodianship/Archive 6]]. In the beginning, I answered them one by one as part of demonstrating my competency to answer questions as a custodian candidate (and they were somewhat related to my global contributions) and courtesy to discussion participants. However, by facing [[special:diff/2631774]] and [[special:diff/2618170]] (editing discussion archives, re-opening closed discussions), I started to believe that we should bring an end to their excessive non-Wikiversity usage of Wikiversity (talk) namespaces. According to [[:w:User talk:Username142857]] (especially [[:w:special:diff/1073391896]]), [[User:Username142857]] is evaluated as {{tq|the other editors are tired to waste their time to read and answer your non-useful edits.}} and I think they are doing the similar thing at Wikiversity. Our community may have limited tolerance for such behavior. If you had any experience of handling such issues in the past, your feedback may be helpful to allow [[User:Username142857]] to improve their behavior. Thank you for your attention and mentoring.

== Enquiry about Correct Setup of Wikiversity? ==
Hi James,
I just had a few questions regarding my Setup on Wikiversity:
1. We are asked to enable the Visual Editor. Have I done this correctly? Or how do I do it if I have not?
2. Have I chosen a book chapter and inserted my name correctly?
3. There isn’t a discussion forum page on our UCLearn for me to comment on, for the assessment, so where should I comment?
Thank you, I look forward to hearing back from you.

::@[[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] Hi James,
::Thank you very much for sending me the article text, I really appriciate that. If not to much to ask, could you also send me the template? Template:Condensed matter physics see: User:Harold Foppele/Quantum A Matter Of Size.
::Did you read the disucussion with Dan Polansky? I think its rather weird. I answered all his questions truthfully, since i have nothing to hide. (see my user page) And than he started some trivia about the double slit expiriment, went on without listening. Like the article was a sort of explosive that must be removed ASAP. That is not the way a curator should behave (my opinion).
::I could acctually use a mentor physics to avoid mistakes in the future.

: @James: To reduce or eliminate further risk that I am abusing my curator priviledges in relation to suspected copyright violation (I don't think I am, but my point of view can be skewed), I can start tagging material for copyright violation using a template (does not require curator privileges).

Thanks, both. May I suggest:
* {{ping|Harold Foppele}}: Any text you don't write yourself needs appropriate attribution or removal, otherwise it runs the risk of copyright violation. For example, this message appears on each edit source screen underneath the edit summary box: "Do not copy text from other websites without permission. It will be deleted." If text is copied from Wikipedia it needs to be acknowledged as such because it is licensed under CC-by-SA which allows re-use but requires acknowledgement. Such acknowledgement could be made in the edit summary when the contribution is first made. If not, then the next best could be to put quotation marks around copied text and a link to the source(s) of the text.
* {{ping|Dan Polansky}}: Appreciate your administrative work. Let's try to AGF and work constructively with new users who are learning how to contribute. Wikiversity is a learning environment.

:@[[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] Thank you very much. I hope it will work out since Dan does not respond, to me that is. Could you find time to look at the revised [[User:Harold Foppele/Quantum A Matter Of Size]] i made additions to it, but since it is a mix of WP, other sources and OR, it is alomost impossible to keep quoting. So i made a general intro. Is that enough? Also 99% of the [[]] refer directly to WP since WV does not have most of the words/pages. I also recreated the template so that it shows all original text/items. The new section ==Tunneling== is not cited yet, but it wiil be when I have time. Can I remove the tags myself? Thanks again [[User:Harold Foppele|Harold Foppele]] ([[User talk:Harold Foppele|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Harold Foppele|contribs]]) 21:21, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

== Moving to personal namespace ==
What are the policies or customs on Wikiversity for moving pages to personal userspace? Isn't there a risk that Wikiversity will turn into a blogging platform where many users will cultivate pages in their userspace and the outside world will not benefit from it?
I see moving to ns user as a frequent suggestion in Requests for deletion (RFD). I would understand moving to ns Draft, which is clearly defined and there is a chance that the resource will then get into the main ns, thus serving the community. I would understand the suggestion to move to another wikiproject, where the text will serve the community. But I don't really understand the frequent moves to personal ns. Since it's in the RFD, it should either be kept or deleted. If someone contributes to Wikiversity, they automatically agree to its policies and also to the fact that they don't own the pages and someone can put them up for deletion. [[User:Juandev|Juandev]] ([[User talk:Juandev|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Juandev|contribs]]) 09:36, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
I personally don't need a free website to host my pages. How would I get rid of the unfinished [[Pomology]] meta course if it was moved to my NS? ([https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Requests_for_Deletion#c-Dan_Polansky-20251121091100-Juandev-20251120220900 Moving it to my own NS is suggested in RFD]). I'm putting it in the Request for deletion because, even though I started it, it looks like other editors had significant input there. Will I have the right to request speedy deletion if the pages are moved to my user ns?
I think this tactic of moving to personal space is poorly thought out, but it has become the norm.
Is there any guideline or discussion from before? If something appears in a deletion request, the majority decides that it should be moved to user ns, how can the person in question defend themselves that they don't want it in their own ns? It seems the community is pressuring the original author to agree to deletion. It seems that the user ns is an untouchable territory into which the community has the right to throw whatever it thinks from the main ns. So why aren't those pages deleted when the community decides that they don't belong in the main ns? --[[User:Juandev|Juandev]] ([[User talk:Juandev|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Juandev|contribs]]) 10:30, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
{{ping|Juandev}} I replied on your talk page. But here's another version: Personally, in general, I try to keep my notes etc. in user space. Then if I have something more developed to share and collaborate on, then main space. Draft could be helpful to keep main space tidy, but is very quiet/unused, so in reality most drafts are in main space. But if the content is dubious, underdeveloped, lacking citation/peer review etc. then delete, or user space if it could still be developed. That's roughly how I see it. But everyone has a slightly different view/preference, so discuss to develop consensus. -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 12:48, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
== Ninefold Resonance Theory ==
Dear Jtneill, I noticed that when you deleted [[Ninefold Resonance Theory]], you accidentally deleted the article in my own user space as well. However, I got the impression that most users felt that it should be allowed to exist in my own user space. I thought long and hard about my theory and I'm disappointed that it's gone now...

== AI slop, ownership, and wikilawyering. ==
Using AI images is worse than no images. Your constant reverting of reasonable edits removing images you prompted on pages you wrote would be considered [[w:wp:OWN]]ership on Wikipedia; even if there is no general guideline on Wikiversity the spirit of not having the final say because just you made the page is applicable to all Wikimedia wikis. Reverting a reasonable edit because it lacks an image seems like [[w:wp:WIKILAWYER]]ing— I don’t know if edit summaries are ''required'' here, but I doubt it, and on most wikis they are simply recommended. Not having one doesn’t invalidate the edit. [[User:Dronebogus|Dronebogus]] ([[User talk:Dronebogus|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dronebogus|contribs]]) 05:27, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
:I understand that you don't like many AI images because you consider them slop. My view is that some of these AI images can be useful for educational purposes.
:I understand that you think an alternative or no image is better than some AI images. My view is that some AI images are better than no image and are either useful in addition to alternative images or more useful than some alternatives.
:May I suggest deciding first on Commons whether to keep an image, rather than removing from Wikiversity and then nominating for deletion on Commons because of no use.

Greetings,
The [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee|Universal Code of Conduct Coordinating Committee (U4C)]] seeks candidates for the 2026 election. The U4C is the global committee responsible for overseeing enforcement of the [[foundation:Special:MyLanguage/Policy:Universal Code of Conduct|Universal Code of Conduct]]. Elections are held annually, if elected a committee member serves for two years.
This year the U4C requires candidates to hold administrator rights on at least one wiki, which is why you are being contacted as you appear to hold this right. There are other requirements, such as candidates must be at least 18 years old and may not be employed by the Wikimedia Foundation or other related chapters and affiliates.

== Thoughts about Wikinews closure ==
I think Wikiversity could bring in Wikinews users possibly. Thoughts? @[[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] [[User:BigKrow|BigKrow]] ([[User talk:BigKrow|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/BigKrow|contribs]]) 23:05, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
:Welcome. Sorry for the loss of Wikinews. I hope WN editors can find their way into contributing to WMF sister projects most aligned with their interests and skills, including Wikiversity. For me, the key here is alignment with [[Wikiversity:Mission]]. It may take some time to work out what's possible.

Hello! Would it be ok if I posted some future messages that were generated by an "AI"/AI/LLM? If yes, would you prefer the generated message to be ie. max 100 words, less words or the talk message to include both original and generated message? Any other preferences/requirements? So far, 1 user has responded to this type of inquiry. They prefer 100 words max of generated talk page message.

== Your feedback is welcome at [[User talk:Username142857]] ==
Dear my mentor, I believe we have already seen [[User:Username142857]] making too many non-Wikiversity questions at [[Wikiversity:Candidates for Custodianship/MathXplore]] and [[Wikiversity talk:Custodianship/Archive 6]]. In the beginning, I answered them one by one as part of demonstrating my competency to answer questions as a custodian candidate (and they were somewhat related to my global contributions) and courtesy to discussion participants. However, by facing [[special:diff/2631774]] and [[special:diff/2618170]] (editing discussion archives, re-opening closed discussions), I started to believe that we should bring an end to their excessive non-Wikiversity usage of Wikiversity (talk) namespaces. According to [[:w:User talk:Username142857]] (especially [[:w:special:diff/1073391896]]), [[User:Username142857]] is evaluated as {{tq|the other editors are tired to waste their time to read and answer your non-useful edits.}} and I think they are doing the similar thing at Wikiversity. Our community may have limited tolerance for such behavior. If you had any experience of handling such issues in the past, your feedback may be helpful to allow [[User:Username142857]] to improve their behavior. Thank you for your attention and mentoring.

Hi James,
I just had a few questions regarding my Setup on Wikiversity:
1. We are asked to enable the Visual Editor. Have I done this correctly? Or how do I do it if I have not?
2. Have I chosen a book chapter and inserted my name correctly?
3. There isn’t a discussion forum page on our UCLearn for me to comment on, for the assessment, so where should I comment?
Thank you, I look forward to hearing back from you.

::@[[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] Hi James,
::Thank you very much for sending me the article text, I really appriciate that. If not to much to ask, could you also send me the template? Template:Condensed matter physics see: User:Harold Foppele/Quantum A Matter Of Size.
::Did you read the disucussion with Dan Polansky? I think its rather weird. I answered all his questions truthfully, since i have nothing to hide. (see my user page) And than he started some trivia about the double slit expiriment, went on without listening. Like the article was a sort of explosive that must be removed ASAP. That is not the way a curator should behave (my opinion).
::I could acctually use a mentor physics to avoid mistakes in the future.
::I know both my articles have flaws but i can fix that in time.
::Do you maybe have suggestions?

: @James: To reduce or eliminate further risk that I am abusing my curator priviledges in relation to suspected copyright violation (I don't think I am, but my point of view can be skewed), I can start tagging material for copyright violation using a template (does not require curator privileges).

::: The page [[User:Harold Foppele/Quantum A Matter Of Size]] currently features multiple sentences from a CC-BY-SA source without using quotation marks. My determination is that the page shows copyright violation (failure to ''attribute'') of CC-BY-SA and should therefore be deleted.

Thanks, both. May I suggest:
* {{ping|Harold Foppele}}: Any text you don't write yourself needs appropriate attribution or removal, otherwise it runs the risk of copyright violation. For example, this message appears on each edit source screen underneath the edit summary box: "Do not copy text from other websites without permission. It will be deleted." If text is copied from Wikipedia it needs to be acknowledged as such because it is licensed under CC-by-SA which allows re-use but requires acknowledgement. Such acknowledgement could be made in the edit summary when the contribution is first made. If not, then the next best could be to put quotation marks around copied text and a link to the source(s) of the text.
* {{ping|Dan Polansky}}: Appreciate your administrative work. Let's try to AGF and work constructively with new users who are learning how to contribute. Wikiversity is a learning environment.

Could you find time to look at the revised [[User:Harold Foppele/Quantum A Matter Of Size]] i made additions to it, but since it is a mix of WP, other sources and OR, it is alomost impossible to keep quoting. So i made a general intro. Is that enough? Also 99% of the [[]] refer directly to WP since WV does not have most of the words/pages.

== When is a quote or blockquote needed? ==
Hi James, I hope you are doing well. I did wrote some articles and parts off them at Wikipedia. If i want to use parts of it at Wikiversity do i still need to quote that parts?

:Basically, if you didn't author text which is being added, then the genesis of the text needs to be made clear (e.g, edit summary, quotation etc.) It is also possible to import pages (e.g., from Wikipedia) which brings in the full edit history. -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 01:38, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
== Publishing transcripts ==
Hi James, Is it allowed to publish a transcript in Wikiversity as per my example at [[User:Harold Foppele/sandbox-2]]. If not, then I remove the page ofcourse. I think it could be nice if I edit it to make it easy accessible in various Wikipages.
But again, if its not allowed, i remove it. Cheers [[User:Harold Foppele|Harold Foppele]] ([[User talk:Harold Foppele|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Harold Foppele|contribs]]) 11:28, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

@Jtneill , Hi James, You are a curator/bureaucrat, if i'm not mistaken. Please look at: [[User:Dan Polansky/Problem reports (about Wikiversity problems)]] I feel outright insulted and ask you (if you can) to put an end to it.

== Moving to personal namespace ==
What are the policies or customs on Wikiversity for moving pages to personal userspace? Isn't there a risk that Wikiversity will turn into a blogging platform where many users will cultivate pages in their userspace and the outside world will not benefit from it?
I see moving to ns user as a frequent suggestion in Requests for deletion (RFD). I would understand moving to ns Draft, which is clearly defined and there is a chance that the resource will then get into the main ns, thus serving the community. I would understand the suggestion to move to another wikiproject, where the text will serve the community. But I don't really understand the frequent moves to personal ns. Since it's in the RFD, it should either be kept or deleted. If someone contributes to Wikiversity, they automatically agree to its policies and also to the fact that they don't own the pages and someone can put them up for deletion. [[User:Juandev|Juandev]] ([[User talk:Juandev|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Juandev|contribs]]) 09:36, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
I personally don't need a free website to host my pages. How would I get rid of the unfinished [[Pomology]] meta course if it was moved to my NS? ([https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Requests_for_Deletion#c-Dan_Polansky-20251121091100-Juandev-20251120220900 Moving it to my own NS is suggested in RFD]). I'm putting it in the Request for deletion because, even though I started it, it looks like other editors had significant input there. Will I have the right to request speedy deletion if the pages are moved to my user ns?
I think this tactic of moving to personal space is poorly thought out, but it has become the norm.
Is there any guideline or discussion from before? If something appears in a deletion request, the majority decides that it should be moved to user ns, how can the person in question defend themselves that they don't want it in their own ns? It seems the community is pressuring the original author to agree to deletion. It seems that the user ns is an untouchable territory into which the community has the right to throw whatever it thinks from the main ns. So why aren't those pages deleted when the community decides that they don't belong in the main ns? --[[User:Juandev|Juandev]] ([[User talk:Juandev|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Juandev|contribs]]) 10:30, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
{{ping|Juandev}} I replied on your talk page. But here's another version: Personally, in general, I try to keep my notes etc. in user space. Then if I have something more developed to share and collaborate on, then main space. Draft could be helpful to keep main space tidy, but is very quiet/unused, so in reality most drafts are in main space. But if the content is dubious, underdeveloped, lacking citation/peer review etc. then delete, or user space if it could still be developed. That's roughly how I see it. But everyone has a slightly different view/preference, so discuss to develop consensus. -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 12:48, 22 November 2025 (UTC)
== Ninefold Resonance Theory ==
Dear Jtneill, I noticed that when you deleted [[Ninefold Resonance Theory]], you accidentally deleted the article in my own user space as well. However, I got the impression that most users felt that it should be allowed to exist in my own user space. I thought long and hard about my theory and I'm disappointed that it's gone now... Could you move the article back to my own user space, so not in the main space? I look forward to hearing from you! Kind regards, [[User:S. Perquin|S. Perquin]] ([[User talk:S.

== AI slop, ownership, and wikilawyering. ==
Using AI images is worse than no images. Your constant reverting of reasonable edits removing images you prompted on pages you wrote would be considered [[w:wp:OWN]]ership on Wikipedia; even if there is no general guideline on Wikiversity the spirit of not having the final say because just you made the page is applicable to all Wikimedia wikis. Reverting a reasonable edit because it lacks an image seems like [[w:wp:WIKILAWYER]]ing— I don’t know if edit summaries are ''required'' here, but I doubt it, and on most wikis they are simply recommended. Not having one doesn’t invalidate the edit. [[User:Dronebogus|Dronebogus]] ([[User talk:Dronebogus|discuss]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dronebogus|contribs]]) 05:27, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
:I understand that you don't like many AI images because you consider them slop. My view is that some of these AI images can be useful for educational purposes.
:I understand that you think an alternative or no image is better than some AI images. My view is that some AI images are better than no image and are either useful in addition to alternative images or more useful than some alternatives.
:May I suggest deciding first on Commons whether to keep an image, rather than removing from Wikiversity and then nominating for deletion on Commons because of no use.
:I have no interest in edit warring. I'll invite [[WV:RCA]] to review your recent edits. -- [[User:Jtneill|Jtneill]] - <small>[[User talk:Jtneill|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Jtneill|c]]</small> 11:20, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
== You may be an eligible candidate for the U4C election ==

You can find more information in the [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Universal_Code_of_Conduct/Coordinating_Committee/Election/2026#Call_for_Candidates|call for candidates on Meta-wiki]]. Additionally, the committee's working language is English; some ability to communicate in English is required.
The election opens on 18 May, if you are eligible and interested you have until 10 May to submit your candidacy. There will week between for candidates to answer questions from the community. Voting takes place privately in [[m:Special:MyLanguage/SecurePoll|SecurePoll]], successful candidates must receive at least 60% support.

==Instructions==
The following instructions should be used to guide the development of the book chapter.
===Theme===
* Chapters should fit the book theme which is "understanding and improving our motivational and emotional lives using psychological science"
===Audience===
* The target audience is a general (non-topic-expert) reader interested in personal growth and development based on knowledge in psychological science (theory and research). This is a [[w:science communication|science communication]] exercise.
===Wikiversity===
* Present the chapter as a single page on the [[Main Page|English Wikiversity]] website. A link to the chapter should appear in the [[Motivation and emotion/Book|table of contents]] along with the lead author's Wikiversity user name
===Topic===
* The title and sub-title must be approved by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Collaboration and feedback===
* Chapters should be independently developed and written primarily by the lead author, but collaboration is strongly encouraged (e.g., by incorporating useful edits and feedback from others)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Using generative AI|Generative AI]] may be used with appropriate acknowledgement
* Lead authors are encouraged to seek feedback about the chapter during the drafting process (e.g., start a {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion thread<!-- (use the chapter title and subtitle in the subject line and include a clickable hyperlink to the chapter in the message)-->)
* Feedback is usually best placed on the chapter's wiki discussion page
* Feedback on the [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|topic development]] (chapter plan) will be provided by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Length (word count)===
{{Anchor|Wordcount}}{{Anchor|Word count}}
* There is no minimum length
* Maximum 4,000 words
** There is no additional 10% allowance
** Words beyond the maximum will not be considered for marking purposes
** Count everything from top to bottom of the editable page (in view mode, not edit mode):
*** Include the title, subtitle, headings, text, tables, figures, references, see also, and external links
** Use this [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/word-counter/cbjddaobmdfhbfgdgjocbhklpmclcboe Word Counter] (Google Chrome Extension) or paste the URL into [https://hsuper.tools/web-page-word-counter Webpage Word Counter] (it will overcount by ~100 words) or cut and paste into a word processor
* If you are having difficulties complying with the maximum word count, see [[/Word count|these suggestions]]
===Submission===
* Submit the chapter URL (website address), your Wikiversity user name, and a PDF of the chapter via {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}
==Marking criteria==
[[File:Balanced scales.svg|right|125px]]
Book chapters will be marked against the following criteria.
===Overview (5%)===
* Provide an engaging scenario or case study
* Easy to read and understand outline of the key concepts and explanation of practical/real-world problem to be solved (problem statement)
* Establish [[/Focus questions|focus questions]] which align with the sub-title and heading structure
===Theory (20%)===
* Clearly explain the theoretical framework for understanding the topic
* Select the most relevant psychological theories/models that apply to the problem. Depending on the topic, this may involve focusing on a single theory or comparing and contrasting two or more theories
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed theory references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Clearly explain and apply the theory(ies)
* Include illustrative examples, such as case studies
* Demonstrate a critical perspective
===Research (25%)===
* Explain how key, peer-reviewed research findings apply to the problem
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed research references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Include relevant major reviews (systematic reviews, meta-analyses etc.)
* Demonstrate [[w:Critical thinking|critical thinking]]. Critically analyse key research findings, including limitations and implications.
===Integration (10%)===
* Integrate discussion of theory and review of relevant research
* Use research to critically inform interpretation and application of the theory(ies)
===Conclusion (5%)===
* Emphasise the key points and take-home messages, particularly in relation to the subtitle and focus questions, with implications for personal growth and development
===Style (20%)===
* Overall
** Present and illustrate the problem and knowledge in an interesting way, using a logical structure, clear layout, correct spelling and grammar, and [[APA style]]
** [[/Readability|Readable]] for a layperson interested in psychological science
** Address the [[#Theme|book theme]] by providing practical, academically sound, self-improvement information
** Address an international audience (i.e., avoid an overly local or national perspective)
** Use default wiki style for paragraph alignment, font colour, type, and size, and heading styles
** Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesise, behaviour, fulfilment) rather than American spelling (e.g., hypothesize, behavior, fulfillment)
** Correct grammar (e.g., see [[/Writing tips|writing tips]])
* Structure
** Use a logical heading structure that aligns with the focus questions
** Use [https://www.masterclass.com/articles/sentence-case-explained sentence casing] throughout, including for headings and sub-headings
** Use the default heading style (e.g., do not add italics and/or bold)
** Sub-headings are optional
*** Avoid having sections with a single sub-heading — each section should contain 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
*** If sub-headings are used, provides at least 1 introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
* Sentences
** [[w:Narration#Narrative point of view|Narrative point of view]][https://www.grammarly.com/blog/first-second-and-third-person/]: In the main text, use [[w:Narration#Third-person|3rd person perspective]] (e.g., "it", "they"). Where [[w:Aside|aside]]s are used, such as examples, case studies, and feature boxes, [[w:First-person narrative|1st person perspective]] (e.g., "I" and "we") and/or [[w:Narration#Second-person|2nd person perspective]] (e.g., "you") can work well.
* Paragraphs
** A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs.
** Paragraphs flow logically
* Use APA style (as much as reasonably possible), paying particular attention to:
** citations
** references (especially capitalisation, italicisation, and providing hyperlinked dois)
** table and figure captions
** quotes (include page numbers)
* Citations
** Claims need citations using APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style throughout the chapter — don't mix and match. For most psychology students, APA style will be the choice.
** Maximum of 3 citations per point (i.e., avoid 4 or more citations together).
* References
** List all cited academic references in APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style.
** Non-academic sources are not used in references. They can be included in the external links section.
===Learning features (5%)===
* Embed interactive learning features such as scenarios/case studies/examples, feature boxes, figures, quizzes, links to relevant Wikipedia and Wikipedia pages, as well as links to key resources via the "See also" and "External links" sections
* Case studies
** Include 1 or more examples, scenarios, or case studies
** They can be true (if so, include citations) or fictional
** Use these examples to enhance understanding of theory, research, focus questions, and/or take-home messages
** Present in a feature box and include a figure
** Consider using a "progressive case study" (i.e., a case study presented in separate parts which describe, for example, the problem, attempt at change, and resolution/outcomes).
** Examples of chapters which make effective use of case studies:
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Emotional abuse|emotional abuse]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Food and fear|food and fear]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Opioid system and human emotion|opioid system and human emotion]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Social support and emotion|social support and emotion]] (2019)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Feature box|Feature boxes]]
** Use to highlight key information, but avoid overuse
** There are various ways of creating coloured boxes, but the [[Template:RoundBoxTop|RoundBox]] template is a good option.
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Figures|Figures]]
** Include relevant, accompanying figures (e.g., photos, drawings, diagrams) to facilitate readers' understanding of the concepts
** Figures are accompanied by explanatory captions and be cited at least once in the main text
** For more information, see [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Figures|How to use figures]]).
* [[Help:Links|Links]]
** In-text (embedded) links: Key words and concepts are [[Making links|linked]] to Wikipedia articles and/or related book chapters. Provide in-text wiki links the ''first time'' that key concepts are mentioned. For example:
*** [[w:Emotion|emotion]] involves physiological, subjective feeling, motivational, and socially expressive aspects. The syntax for creating this link is <nowiki>[[w:Emotion|emotion]]</nowiki>). It is also possible to link to a section on this same page e.g., <nowiki>[[#Overview|Overview]]<nowiki> will link to the Overview section.
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Fitspiration and body image|This chapter]] provides an excellent example of embedded links to Wikiversity pages.
** See also
*** Provide interwiki links to key related Wikiversity book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
*** Include source in parentheses
** External links
*** Provide at least three links to high quality, relevant external resources
*** Include author and/or source in parentheses
** Published academic sources belong in References
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Tables|Tables]]
** Use accompanying tables to help organise information and communicate concepts to readers
** Tables are accompanied by explanatory APA style captions and are cited in the body text
* [[Help:Quiz|Quizzes]]
** Quiz questions or reflection questions encourage reader engagement
** Focus on core concepts (esp. take-home messages) rather than trivia
** Consider incorporating throughout the chapter
{{anchor|Socialcontribution}}
===Social contribution (10%)===
* '''Actions''': Logged contributions which enhance the quality of other book chapters. Useful actions include:
** '''edits''': direct edits which improve past or current chapters (e.g., fix errors, enhance clarity) or flag potential improvements by adding [[Template:Clarification templates|clarification templates]]. [[/Search for chapters to improve|Search for chapters to improve]].
** '''comments''': feedback provided on book chapter [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]s
** '''media uploads''': create and/or upload free-to-use images to [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]]
** '''{{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion posts'''
* '''Evidence''': Provide a numbered list of social contributions on your [[Help:User page|Wikiversity user page]], with direct links to changes. To receive credit, contributions must be publicly logged (i.e., log in to Wikiversity so that the edit is recorded with your user name and time-stamp). Then summarise the edit on your user page (in a section called "Social contributions") using a numbered list and provide hyperlinks to direct evidence of the changes made. More info: [[/Summarising social contributions|summarising social contributions]].
* '''Marking'''
** Marking of social contributions will be based on:
*** '''quantity''' (breadth):
**** frequency: number of different chapters contributed to
**** channels: range of communication channels used
*** '''quality''' (depth):
*** insightfulness
**** practical value
**** extent/thoroughness
*** '''timeliness''' — there is generally:
**** greater value in earlier contributions
**** lesser value in "last minute" feedback
** Marks will be allocated to each clearly evidenced social contribution as follows:
*** Minor <= 0.25%
*** Moderate 0.50%
*** Major 1.00%
*** Very significant > 1.00%
*** Up to 5 bonus marks may be awarded for exceptional levels of contribution

! Description
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''Bonus marks'''
| Up to 5 bonus marks are available in exceptional circumstances where wiki contributions to the book are above and beyond those required for HD-level. Such contributions could include very substantial contributions across multiple chapters. This could include extensive copyediting, regular feedback, and support on multiple chapter discussion pages. It may also involve substantial activity on the {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion.
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''HD (High Distinction)'''
| Very significant contributions are made to development of other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor clearly embraced the collaborative nature of the online book task. This is indicated primarily by the user's edit history on Wikiversity which shows significant and regular contributions to the development of at least several chapters via discussion page comments and probably also chapter edits. Such contributions are likely to have occurred across at least half of the semester. It is also quite likely that contributions extend across more than one channel of electronically logged communication (e.g., wiki contributions and {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion). Helping to significantly improve at least four other chapters is likely to be worth a HD.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''DI (Distinction)'''
| Significant contributions are made to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor embraced online collaboration as indicated by the user's wiki edit history. Notable contributions are made to the development of several chapters via discussion pages and chapter edits. Contributions are spread over at least a month. Contributions are likely to have extended across more than one publicly logged electronic communication channels (e.g., wiki contributions and {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion). Helping to significantly improve at least three others chapters is likely to be worth a DI.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''CR (Credit)'''
| Moderate contributions to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor embraced some aspects of online collaboration by providing many wiki edits beyond the contributor's target chapter and/or {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion posts. These contributions are made over a period of at least a couple of weeks and in sufficient time for other authors to incorporate the feedback into the final drafting process. As a guide, helping to significantly improve at least two other chapters is likely to be worth a CR.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''P (Pass)'''
| Basic contributions are made to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). For example, at least one other chapter in the book is significantly enhanced because of the user's contributions. This might involve some helpful comments on several occasions about at least one other book chapter — or perhaps a single, substantial proofread with several useful comments about a full draft could be sufficient for a Pass.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''F (Fail)'''
| Either no contributions are made or contributions were limited. A lack of collaborative effort is evident, as indicated by minimal, if any, wiki contributions beyond one's primary chapter and/or {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}. For example:
# comments lacked detail and/or depth;
# comments were not timely (e.g., were provided very late in the drafting process)

==Grade descriptions==
This section describes typical characteristics of chapters at each grade level, based on the [[#Marking criteria|marking criteria]].
{| border=1 cellpadding=7 cellspacing=0 style = "background:transparent; width:90%"
! Grade
! Description
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''HD (High Distinction)'''
| A professional, near-publishable, interesting, informative, insightful, [[/Readability|readable]] explanation of relevant psychological theory and research about a well-defined, unique motivation or emotion topic. The chapter has a well-organised layout and headings, with relevant and well-captioned accompanying figures, tables, and/or figures. Excellent spelling, grammar, and APA style is used. The chapter makes effective use of wiki links to other relevant chapters and/or Wikipedia articles. Additional interactive learning features are included. Substantial social contributions are made to the development of other chapters, such as particularly useful peer-review comments on several chapter talk pages across at least half of the semester.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''DI (Distinction)'''
| A very good chapter, with several professional-level aspects. The chapter is informative, accurate and insightful, covering key relevant theory and research. The material is very competently handled and well-written, with minimal spelling and grammar issues. Layout is clear and effective. Good use is made of wiki links, tables, and figures. References are in very good APA style. The chapter includes additional learning features. Helpful contributions were made to some other chapters over at least a month.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''CR (Credit)'''
| A competent chapter with reasonably informative and insightful content which includes moderately good coverage of relevant theory and research. Some aspects of the theory or research coverage may be missing, limited, or problematic. Integration of theory and research is less assured than at higher levels. Layout and headings are reasonably useful, but could probably also be improved (e.g., by being more detailed). References are in reasonable APA style, but often several corrections are needed. Some wiki links, figures, and/or additional learning features are provided, but could have been developed further. Some helpful contributions were made over at least a couple of weeks to at least a couple of other chapters.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''P (Pass)'''
| The chapter provides a satisfactory, basic explanation of relevant theory and research, but lacks the depth and/or comprehensiveness that is characteristic of higher grade chapters. The chapter may struggle to clearly conceptualise the topic, organise the structure and layout, contribute to the book theme, and/or may lack depth and originality. Spelling and grammar problems are often prevalent. Citation and referencing tends to be limited in scope and quality, often with reliance on only a few (or less) high-quality peer-review references. There may relatively little meaningful use of figures or additional learning features. These chapters typically have a brief edit history (e.g., less than 2 weeks) and often read like an early draft which would benefit from more drafting to address feedback, and better proofreading. Often chapters of this standard are noticeably shorter than chapters which attract higher grades. Chapter authors often haven't sought or acted upon feedback. Some useful social contributions to at some other chapters are made, but this tends to be fairly basic and made towards the end of the drafting period.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''F (Fail)'''
| The chapter does not demonstrate a satisfactory grasp of key psychological theory and research which pertains to a specific, unique motivation or emotion topic. Major gaps and/or errors in content are evident, sometimes with little to no use of peer-reviewed references. These chapters typically have underdeveloped heading structures and the content is often brief or incomplete. Layout and [[/Readability|readability]] is often poor and the quality of written expression is often undermined by poor spelling and/or grammar. Sometimes plagiarism may be evident. Generally, there is a lack of sufficient effort (e.g., these chapters often have short tend to have last-minute editing histories) and have attracted little, if any, peer review. Little to no social contribution is made to the development of other book chapters.

==Instructions==
The following instructions should be used to guide the development of the book chapter.
===Theme===
* Chapters should fit the book theme which is "understanding and improving our motivational and emotional lives using psychological science"
===Audience===
* The target audience is a general (non-topic-expert) reader interested in personal growth and development based on knowledge in psychological science (theory and research). This is a [[w:science communication|science communication]] exercise.
===Wikiversity===
* Present the chapter as a single page on the [[Main Page|English Wikiversity]] website. A link to the chapter should appear in the [[Motivation and emotion/Book|table of contents]] along with the lead author's Wikiversity user name
===Topic===
* The title and sub-title must be approved by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Collaboration and feedback===
* Chapters should be independently developed and written primarily by the lead author, but collaboration is strongly encouraged (e.g., by incorporating useful edits and feedback from others)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Using generative AI|Generative AI]] may be used with appropriate acknowledgement
* Lead authors are encouraged to seek feedback about the chapter during the drafting process (e.g., start a {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion thread<!-- (use the chapter title and subtitle in the subject line and include a clickable hyperlink to the chapter in the message)-->)
* Feedback is usually best placed on the chapter's wiki discussion page
* Feedback on the [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|topic development]] (chapter plan) will be provided by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Length (word count)===
{{Anchor|Wordcount}}{{Anchor|Word count}}
* There is no minimum length
* Maximum 4,000 words
** There is no additional 10% allowance
** Words beyond the maximum will not be considered for marking purposes
** Count everything from top to bottom of the editable page (in view mode, not edit mode):
*** Include the title, subtitle, headings, text, tables, figures, references, see also, and external links
** Use this [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/word-counter/cbjddaobmdfhbfgdgjocbhklpmclcboe Word Counter] (Google Chrome Extension) or paste the URL into [https://hsuper.tools/web-page-word-counter Webpage Word Counter] (it will overcount by ~100 words) or cut and paste into a word processor
* If you are having difficulties complying with the maximum word count, see [[/Word count|these suggestions]]
===Submission===
* Submit the chapter URL (website address), your Wikiversity user name, and a PDF of the chapter via {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}
==Marking criteria==
[[File:Balanced scales.svg|right|125px]]
Book chapters will be marked against the following criteria.
===Overview (5%)===
* Provide an engaging scenario or case study
* Easy to read and understand outline of the key concepts and explanation of practical/real-world problem to be solved (problem statement)
* Establish [[/Focus questions|focus questions]] which align with the sub-title and heading structure
===Theory (20%)===
* Clearly explain the theoretical framework for understanding the topic
* Select the most relevant psychological theories/models that apply to the problem. Depending on the topic, this may involve focusing on a single theory or comparing and contrasting two or more theories
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed theory references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Clearly explain and apply the theory(ies)
* Include illustrative examples, such as case studies
* Demonstrate a critical perspective
===Research (25%)===
* Explain how key, peer-reviewed research findings apply to the problem
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed research references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Include relevant major reviews (systematic reviews, meta-analyses etc.)
* Demonstrate [[w:Critical thinking|critical thinking]]. Critically analyse key research findings, including limitations and implications.
===Integration (10%)===
* Integrate discussion of theory and review of relevant research
* Use research to critically inform interpretation and application of the theory(ies)
===Conclusion (5%)===
* Emphasise the key points and take-home messages, particularly in relation to the subtitle and focus questions, with implications for personal growth and development
===Style (20%)===
* Overall
** Present and illustrate the problem and knowledge in an interesting way, using a logical structure, clear layout, correct spelling and grammar, and [[APA style]]
** [[/Readability|Readable]] for a layperson interested in psychological science
** Address the [[#Theme|book theme]] by providing practical, academically sound, self-improvement information
** Address an international audience (i.e., avoid an overly local or national perspective)
** Use default wiki style for paragraph alignment, font colour, type, and size, and heading styles
** Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesise, behaviour, fulfilment) rather than American spelling (e.g., hypothesize, behavior, fulfillment)
** Correct grammar (e.g., see [[/Writing tips|writing tips]])
* Structure
** Use a logical heading structure that aligns with the focus questions
** Use [https://www.masterclass.com/articles/sentence-case-explained sentence casing] throughout, including for headings and sub-headings
** Use the default heading style (e.g., do not add italics and/or bold)
** Sub-headings are optional
*** Avoid having sections with a single sub-heading — each section should contain 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
*** If sub-headings are used, provides at least 1 introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
* Sentences
** [[w:Narration#Narrative point of view|Narrative point of view]][https://www.grammarly.com/blog/first-second-and-third-person/]: In the main text, use [[w:Narration#Third-person|3rd person perspective]] (e.g., "it", "they"). Where [[w:Aside|aside]]s are used, such as examples, case studies, and feature boxes, [[w:First-person narrative|1st person perspective]] (e.g., "I" and "we") and/or [[w:Narration#Second-person|2nd person perspective]] (e.g., "you") can work well.
* Paragraphs
** A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs.
** Paragraphs flow logically
* Use APA style (as much as reasonably possible), paying particular attention to:
** citations
** references (especially capitalisation, italicisation, and providing hyperlinked dois)
** table and figure captions
** quotes (include page numbers)
* Citations
** Claims need citations using APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style throughout the chapter — don't mix and match. For most psychology students, APA style will be the choice.
** Maximum of 3 citations per point (i.e., avoid 4 or more citations together).
* References
** List all cited academic references in APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style.
** Non-academic sources are not used in references. They can be included in the external links section.
===Learning features (5%)===
* Embed interactive learning features such as scenarios/case studies/examples, feature boxes, figures, quizzes, links to relevant Wikipedia and Wikipedia pages, as well as links to key resources via the "See also" and "External links" sections
* Case studies
** Include 1 or more examples, scenarios, or case studies
** They can be true (if so, include citations) or fictional
** Use these examples to enhance understanding of theory, research, focus questions, and/or take-home messages
** Present in a feature box and include a figure
** Consider using a "progressive case study" (i.e., a case study presented in separate parts which describe, for example, the problem, attempt at change, and resolution/outcomes).
** Examples of chapters which make effective use of case studies:
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Emotional abuse|emotional abuse]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Food and fear|food and fear]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Opioid system and human emotion|opioid system and human emotion]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Social support and emotion|social support and emotion]] (2019)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Feature box|Feature boxes]]
** Use to highlight key information, but avoid overuse
** There are various ways of creating coloured boxes, but the [[Template:RoundBoxTop|RoundBox]] template is a good option.
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Figures|Figures]]
** Include relevant, accompanying figures (e.g., photos, drawings, diagrams) to facilitate readers' understanding of the concepts
** Figures are accompanied by explanatory captions and be cited at least once in the main text
** For more information, see [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Figures|How to use figures]]).
* [[Help:Links|Links]]
** In-text (embedded) links: Key words and concepts are [[Making links|linked]] to Wikipedia articles and/or related book chapters. Provide in-text wiki links the ''first time'' that key concepts are mentioned. For example:
*** [[w:Emotion|emotion]] involves physiological, subjective feeling, motivational, and socially expressive aspects. The syntax for creating this link is <nowiki>[[w:Emotion|emotion]]</nowiki>). It is also possible to link to a section on this same page e.g., <nowiki>[[#Overview|Overview]]<nowiki> will link to the Overview section.
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Fitspiration and body image|This chapter]] provides an excellent example of embedded links to Wikiversity pages.
** See also
*** Provide interwiki links to key related Wikiversity book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
*** Include source in parentheses
** External links
*** Provide at least three links to high quality, relevant external resources
*** Include author and/or source in parentheses
** Published academic sources belong in References
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Tables|Tables]]
** Use accompanying tables to help organise information and communicate concepts to readers
** Tables are accompanied by explanatory APA style captions and are cited in the body text
* [[Help:Quiz|Quizzes]]
** Quiz questions or reflection questions encourage reader engagement
** Focus on core concepts (esp. take-home messages) rather than trivia
** Consider incorporating throughout the chapter
{{anchor|Socialcontribution}}
===Social contribution (10%)===
* '''Actions''': Logged contributions which enhance the quality of other book chapters. Useful actions include:
** '''edits''': direct edits which improve past or current chapters (e.g., fix errors, enhance clarity) or flag potential improvements by adding [[Template:Clarification templates|clarification templates]]. [[/Search for chapters to improve|Search for chapters to improve]].
** '''comments''': feedback provided on book chapter [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]s

To receive credit, contributions must be publicly logged (i.e., log in to Wikiversity so that the edit is recorded with your user name and time-stamp). Then summarise the edit on your user page (in a section called "Social contributions") using a numbered list and provide hyperlinks to direct evidence of the changes made. More info: [[/Summarising social contributions|summarising social contributions]].
* '''Marking'''
** Marking of social contributions will be based on:
*** '''quantity''' (breadth):
**** frequency: number of different chapters contributed to
**** channels: range of communication channels used
*** '''quality''' (depth):
*** insightfulness
**** practical value
**** extent/thoroughness
*** '''timeliness''' — there is generally:
**** greater value in earlier contributions
**** lesser value in "last minute" feedback

|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''Bonus marks'''
| Up to 5 bonus marks are available in exceptional circumstances where wiki contributions to the book are above and beyond those required for HD-level. Such contributions could include very substantial contributions across multiple chapters. This could include extensive copyediting, regular feedback, and support on multiple chapter discussion pages. It may also involve substantial activity on the {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion.
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''HD (High Distinction)'''
| Very significant contributions are made to development of other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor clearly embraced the collaborative nature of the online book task. This is indicated primarily by the user's edit history on Wikiversity which shows significant and regular contributions to the development of at least several chapters via discussion page comments and probably also chapter edits. Such contributions are likely to have occurred across at least half of the semester. It is also quite likely that contributions extend across more than one channel of electronically logged communication (e.g., wiki contributions and {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion). Helping to significantly improve at least four other chapters is likely to be worth a HD.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''DI (Distinction)'''
| Significant contributions are made to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor embraced online collaboration as indicated by the user's wiki edit history. Notable contributions are made to the development of several chapters via discussion pages and chapter edits. Contributions are spread over at least a month. Contributions are likely to have extended across more than one publicly logged electronic communication channels (e.g., wiki contributions and {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion). Helping to significantly improve at least three others chapters is likely to be worth a DI.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''CR (Credit)'''
| Moderate contributions to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor embraced some aspects of online collaboration by providing many wiki edits beyond the contributor's target chapter and/or {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion posts. These contributions are made over a period of at least a couple of weeks and in sufficient time for other authors to incorporate the feedback into the final drafting process. As a guide, helping to significantly improve at least two other chapters is likely to be worth a CR.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''P (Pass)'''
| Basic contributions are made to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). For example, at least one other chapter in the book is significantly enhanced because of the user's contributions. This might involve some helpful comments on several occasions about at least one other book chapter — or perhaps a single, substantial proofread with several useful comments about a full draft could be sufficient for a Pass.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''F (Fail)'''
| Either no contributions are made or contributions were limited. A lack of collaborative effort is evident, as indicated by minimal, if any, wiki contributions beyond one's primary chapter and/or {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}. For example:
# comments lacked detail and/or depth;
# comments were not timely (e.g., were provided very late in the drafting process)

==Grade descriptions==
This section describes typical characteristics of chapters at each grade level, based on the [[#Marking criteria|marking criteria]].
{| border=1 cellpadding=7 cellspacing=0 style = "background:transparent; width:90%"
! Grade
! Description
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''HD (High Distinction)'''
| A professional, near-publishable, interesting, informative, insightful, [[/Readability|readable]] explanation of relevant psychological theory and research about a well-defined, unique motivation or emotion topic. The chapter has a well-organised layout and headings, with relevant and well-captioned accompanying figures, tables, and/or figures. Excellent spelling, grammar, and APA style is used. The chapter makes effective use of wiki links to other relevant chapters and/or Wikipedia articles. Additional interactive learning features are included. Substantial social contributions are made to the development of other chapters, such as particularly useful peer-review comments on several chapter talk pages across at least half of the semester.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''DI (Distinction)'''
| A very good chapter, with several professional-level aspects. The chapter is informative, accurate and insightful, covering key relevant theory and research. The material is very competently handled and well-written, with minimal spelling and grammar issues. Layout is clear and effective. Good use is made of wiki links, tables, and figures. References are in very good APA style. The chapter includes additional learning features. Helpful contributions were made to some other chapters over at least a month.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''CR (Credit)'''
| A competent chapter with reasonably informative and insightful content which includes moderately good coverage of relevant theory and research. Some aspects of the theory or research coverage may be missing, limited, or problematic. Integration of theory and research is less assured than at higher levels. Layout and headings are reasonably useful, but could probably also be improved (e.g., by being more detailed). References are in reasonable APA style, but often several corrections are needed. Some wiki links, figures, and/or additional learning features are provided, but could have been developed further. Some helpful contributions were made over at least a couple of weeks to at least a couple of other chapters.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''P (Pass)'''
| The chapter provides a satisfactory, basic explanation of relevant theory and research, but lacks the depth and/or comprehensiveness that is characteristic of higher grade chapters. The chapter may struggle to clearly conceptualise the topic, organise the structure and layout, contribute to the book theme, and/or may lack depth and originality. Spelling and grammar problems are often prevalent. Citation and referencing tends to be limited in scope and quality, often with reliance on only a few (or less) high-quality peer-review references. There may relatively little meaningful use of figures or additional learning features. These chapters typically have a brief edit history (e.g., less than 2 weeks) and often read like an early draft which would benefit from more drafting to address feedback, and better proofreading. Often chapters of this standard are noticeably shorter than chapters which attract higher grades. Chapter authors often haven't sought or acted upon feedback. Some useful social contributions to at some other chapters are made, but this tends to be fairly basic and made towards the end of the drafting period.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''F (Fail)'''
| The chapter does not demonstrate a satisfactory grasp of key psychological theory and research which pertains to a specific, unique motivation or emotion topic. Major gaps and/or errors in content are evident, sometimes with little to no use of peer-reviewed references. These chapters typically have underdeveloped heading structures and the content is often brief or incomplete. Layout and [[/Readability|readability]] is often poor and the quality of written expression is often undermined by poor spelling and/or grammar. Sometimes plagiarism may be evident. Generally, there is a lack of sufficient effort (e.g., these chapters often have short tend to have last-minute editing histories) and have attracted little, if any, peer review. Little to no social contribution is made to the development of other book chapters.

==Instructions==
The following instructions should be used to guide the development of the book chapter.
===Theme===
* Chapters should fit the book theme which is "understanding and improving our motivational and emotional lives using psychological science"
===Audience===
* The target audience is a general (non-topic-expert) reader interested in personal growth and development based on knowledge in psychological science (theory and research). This is a [[w:science communication|science communication]] exercise.
===Wikiversity===
* Present the chapter as a single page on the [[Main Page|English Wikiversity]] website. A link to the chapter should appear in the [[Motivation and emotion/Book|table of contents]] along with the lead author's Wikiversity user name
===Topic===
* The title and sub-title must be approved by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Collaboration and feedback===
* Chapters should be independently developed and written primarily by the lead author, but collaboration is strongly encouraged (e.g., by incorporating useful edits and feedback from others)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Using generative AI|Generative AI]] may be used with appropriate acknowledgement
* Lead authors are encouraged to seek feedback about the chapter during the drafting process (e.g., start a {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion thread<!-- (use the chapter title and subtitle in the subject line and include a clickable hyperlink to the chapter in the message)-->)
* Feedback is usually best placed on the chapter's wiki discussion page
* Feedback on the [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|topic development]] (chapter plan) will be provided by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Length (word count)===
{{Anchor|Wordcount}}{{Anchor|Word count}}
* There is no minimum length
* Maximum 4,000 words
** There is no additional 10% allowance
** Words beyond the maximum will not be considered for marking purposes
** Count everything from top to bottom of the editable page (in view mode, not edit mode):
*** Include the title, subtitle, headings, text, tables, figures, references, see also, and external links
** Use this [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/word-counter/cbjddaobmdfhbfgdgjocbhklpmclcboe Word Counter] (Google Chrome Extension) or paste the URL into [https://hsuper.tools/web-page-word-counter Webpage Word Counter] (it will overcount by ~100 words) or cut and paste into a word processor
* If you are having difficulties complying with the maximum word count, see [[/Word count|these suggestions]]
===Submission===
* Submit the chapter URL (website address), your Wikiversity user name, and a PDF of the chapter via {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}
==Marking criteria==
[[File:Balanced scales.svg|right|125px]]
Book chapters will be marked against the following criteria.
===Overview (5%)===
* Provide an engaging scenario or case study
* Easy to read and understand outline of the key concepts and explanation of practical/real-world problem to be solved (problem statement)
* Establish [[/Focus questions|focus questions]] which align with the sub-title and heading structure
===Theory (20%)===
* Clearly explain the theoretical framework for understanding the topic
* Select the most relevant psychological theories/models that apply to the problem. Depending on the topic, this may involve focusing on a single theory or comparing and contrasting two or more theories
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed theory references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Clearly explain and apply the theory(ies)
* Include illustrative examples, such as case studies
* Demonstrate a critical perspective
===Research (25%)===
* Explain how key, peer-reviewed research findings apply to the problem
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed research references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Include relevant major reviews (systematic reviews, meta-analyses etc.)
* Demonstrate [[w:Critical thinking|critical thinking]]. Critically analyse key research findings, including limitations and implications.
===Integration (10%)===
* Integrate discussion of theory and review of relevant research
* Use research to critically inform interpretation and application of the theory(ies)
===Conclusion (5%)===
* Emphasise the key points and take-home messages, particularly in relation to the subtitle and focus questions, with implications for personal growth and development
===Style (20%)===
* Overall
** Present and illustrate the problem and knowledge in an interesting way, using a logical structure, clear layout, correct spelling and grammar, and [[APA style]]
** [[/Readability|Readable]] for a layperson interested in psychological science
** Address the [[#Theme|book theme]] by providing practical, academically sound, self-improvement information
** Address an international audience (i.e., avoid an overly local or national perspective)
** Use default wiki style for paragraph alignment, font colour, type, and size, and heading styles
** Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesise, behaviour, fulfilment) rather than American spelling (e.g., hypothesize, behavior, fulfillment)
** Correct grammar (e.g., see [[/Writing tips|writing tips]])
* Structure
** Use a logical heading structure that aligns with the focus questions
** Use [https://www.masterclass.com/articles/sentence-case-explained sentence casing] throughout, including for headings and sub-headings
** Use the default heading style (e.g., do not add italics and/or bold)
** Sub-headings are optional
*** Avoid having sections with a single sub-heading — each section should contain 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
*** If sub-headings are used, provides at least 1 introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
* Sentences
** [[w:Narration#Narrative point of view|Narrative point of view]][https://www.grammarly.com/blog/first-second-and-third-person/]: In the main text, use [[w:Narration#Third-person|3rd person perspective]] (e.g., "it", "they"). Where [[w:Aside|aside]]s are used, such as examples, case studies, and feature boxes, [[w:First-person narrative|1st person perspective]] (e.g., "I" and "we") and/or [[w:Narration#Second-person|2nd person perspective]] (e.g., "you") can work well.
* Paragraphs
** A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs.
** Paragraphs flow logically
* Use APA style (as much as reasonably possible), paying particular attention to:
** citations
** references (especially capitalisation, italicisation, and providing hyperlinked dois)
** table and figure captions
** quotes (include page numbers)
* Citations
** Claims need citations using APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style throughout the chapter — don't mix and match. For most psychology students, APA style will be the choice.
** Maximum of 3 citations per point (i.e., avoid 4 or more citations together).
* References
** List all cited academic references in APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style.
** Non-academic sources are not used in references. They can be included in the external links section.
===Learning features (5%)===
* Embed interactive learning features such as scenarios/case studies/examples, feature boxes, figures, quizzes, links to relevant Wikipedia and Wikipedia pages, as well as links to key resources via the "See also" and "External links" sections
* Case studies
** Include 1 or more examples, scenarios, or case studies
** They can be true (if so, include citations) or fictional
** Use these examples to enhance understanding of theory, research, focus questions, and/or take-home messages
** Present in a feature box and include a figure
** Consider using a "progressive case study" (i.e., a case study presented in separate parts which describe, for example, the problem, attempt at change, and resolution/outcomes).
** Examples of chapters which make effective use of case studies:
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Emotional abuse|emotional abuse]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Food and fear|food and fear]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Opioid system and human emotion|opioid system and human emotion]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Social support and emotion|social support and emotion]] (2019)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Feature box|Feature boxes]]
** Use to highlight key information, but avoid overuse
** There are various ways of creating coloured boxes, but the [[Template:RoundBoxTop|RoundBox]] template is a good option.
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Figures|Figures]]
** Include relevant, accompanying figures (e.g., photos, drawings, diagrams) to facilitate readers' understanding of the concepts
** Figures are accompanied by explanatory captions and be cited at least once in the main text
** For more information, see [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Figures|How to use figures]]).
* [[Help:Links|Links]]
** In-text (embedded) links: Key words and concepts are [[Making links|linked]] to Wikipedia articles and/or related book chapters. Provide in-text wiki links the ''first time'' that key concepts are mentioned. For example:
*** [[w:Emotion|emotion]] involves physiological, subjective feeling, motivational, and socially expressive aspects. The syntax for creating this link is <nowiki>[[w:Emotion|emotion]]</nowiki>). It is also possible to link to a section on this same page e.g., <nowiki>[[#Overview|Overview]]<nowiki> will link to the Overview section.
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Fitspiration and body image|This chapter]] provides an excellent example of embedded links to Wikiversity pages.
** See also
*** Provide interwiki links to key related Wikiversity book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
*** Include source in parentheses
** External links
*** Provide at least three links to high quality, relevant external resources
*** Include author and/or source in parentheses
** Published academic sources belong in References
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Tables|Tables]]
** Use accompanying tables to help organise information and communicate concepts to readers
** Tables are accompanied by explanatory APA style captions and are cited in the body text
* [[Help:Quiz|Quizzes]]
** Quiz questions or reflection questions encourage reader engagement
** Focus on core concepts (esp. take-home messages) rather than trivia
** Consider incorporating throughout the chapter
{{anchor|Socialcontribution}}
===Social contribution (10%)===
* '''Actions''': Logged contributions which enhance the quality of other book chapters. Useful actions include:
** '''edits''': direct edits which improve past or current chapters (e.g., fix errors, enhance clarity) or flag potential improvements by adding [[Template:Clarification templates|clarification templates]]. [[/Search for chapters to improve|Search for chapters to improve]].
** '''comments''': feedback provided on book chapter [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]s
** '''media uploads''': create and/or upload free-to-use images to [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]]
** '''{{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion posts'''
* '''Evidence''': Provide a numbered list of social contributions on your [[Help:User page|Wikiversity user page]], with direct links to changes. To receive credit, contributions must be publicly logged (i.e., log in to Wikiversity so that the edit is recorded with your user name and time-stamp). Then summarise the edit on your user page (in a section called "Social contributions") using a numbered list and provide hyperlinks to direct evidence of the changes made. More info: [[/Summarising social contributions|summarising social contributions]].
* '''Marking'''
** Marking of social contributions will be based on:
*** '''quantity''' (breadth):
**** frequency: number of different chapters contributed to
**** channels: range of communication channels used
*** '''quality''' (depth):
*** insightfulness
**** practical value
**** extent/thoroughness
*** '''timeliness''' — there is generally:
**** greater value in earlier contributions
**** lesser value in "last minute" feedback
** Marks will be allocated to each clearly evidenced social contribution as follows:
*** Minor <= 0.25%
*** Moderate 0.50%
*** Major 1.00%
*** Very significant > 1.00%
*** Up to 5 bonus marks may be awarded for exceptional levels of contribution

! Description
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''Bonus marks'''
| Up to 5 bonus marks are available in exceptional circumstances where wiki contributions to the book are above and beyond those required for HD-level. Such contributions could include very substantial contributions across multiple chapters. This could include extensive copyediting, regular feedback, and support on multiple chapter discussion pages. It may also involve substantial activity on the {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion.
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''HD (High Distinction)'''
| Very significant contributions are made to development of other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor clearly embraced the collaborative nature of the online book task. This is indicated primarily by the user's edit history on Wikiversity which shows significant and regular contributions to the development of at least several chapters via discussion page comments and probably also chapter edits. Such contributions are likely to have occurred across at least half of the semester. It is also quite likely that contributions extend across more than one channel of electronically logged communication (e.g., wiki contributions and {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion). Helping to significantly improve at least four other chapters is likely to be worth a HD.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''DI (Distinction)'''
| Significant contributions are made to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor embraced online collaboration as indicated by the user's wiki edit history. Notable contributions are made to the development of several chapters via discussion pages and chapter edits. Contributions are spread over at least a month. Contributions are likely to have extended across more than one publicly logged electronic communication channels (e.g., wiki contributions and {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion). Helping to significantly improve at least three others chapters is likely to be worth a DI.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''CR (Credit)'''
| Moderate contributions to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor embraced some aspects of online collaboration by providing many wiki edits beyond the contributor's target chapter and/or {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion posts. These contributions are made over a period of at least a couple of weeks and in sufficient time for other authors to incorporate the feedback into the final drafting process. As a guide, helping to significantly improve at least two other chapters is likely to be worth a CR.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''P (Pass)'''
| Basic contributions are made to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). For example, at least one other chapter in the book is significantly enhanced because of the user's contributions. This might involve some helpful comments on several occasions about at least one other book chapter — or perhaps a single, substantial proofread with several useful comments about a full draft could be sufficient for a Pass.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''F (Fail)'''
| Either no contributions are made or contributions were limited. A lack of collaborative effort is evident, as indicated by minimal, if any, wiki contributions beyond one's primary chapter and/or {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}. For example:
# comments lacked detail and/or depth;
# comments were not timely (e.g., were provided very late in the drafting process)

==Grade descriptions==
This section describes typical characteristics of chapters at each grade level, based on the [[#Marking criteria|marking criteria]].
{| border=1 cellpadding=7 cellspacing=0 style = "background:transparent; width:90%"
! Grade
! Description
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''HD (High Distinction)'''
| A professional, near-publishable, interesting, informative, insightful, [[/Readability|readable]] explanation of relevant psychological theory and research about a well-defined, unique motivation or emotion topic. The chapter has a well-organised layout and headings, with relevant and well-captioned accompanying figures, tables, and/or figures. Excellent spelling, grammar, and APA style is used. The chapter makes effective use of wiki links to other relevant chapters and/or Wikipedia articles. Additional interactive learning features are included. Substantial social contributions are made to the development of other chapters, such as particularly useful peer-review comments on several chapter talk pages across at least half of the semester.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''DI (Distinction)'''
| A very good chapter, with several professional-level aspects. The chapter is informative, accurate and insightful, covering key relevant theory and research. The material is very competently handled and well-written, with minimal spelling and grammar issues. Layout is clear and effective. Good use is made of wiki links, tables, and figures. References are in very good APA style. The chapter includes additional learning features. Helpful contributions were made to some other chapters over at least a month.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''CR (Credit)'''
| A competent chapter with reasonably informative and insightful content which includes moderately good coverage of relevant theory and research. Some aspects of the theory or research coverage may be missing, limited, or problematic. Integration of theory and research is less assured than at higher levels. Layout and headings are reasonably useful, but could probably also be improved (e.g., by being more detailed). References are in reasonable APA style, but often several corrections are needed. Some wiki links, figures, and/or additional learning features are provided, but could have been developed further. Some helpful contributions were made over at least a couple of weeks to at least a couple of other chapters.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''P (Pass)'''
| The chapter provides a satisfactory, basic explanation of relevant theory and research, but lacks the depth and/or comprehensiveness that is characteristic of higher grade chapters. The chapter may struggle to clearly conceptualise the topic, organise the structure and layout, contribute to the book theme, and/or may lack depth and originality. Spelling and grammar problems are often prevalent. Citation and referencing tends to be limited in scope and quality, often with reliance on only a few (or less) high-quality peer-review references. There may relatively little meaningful use of figures or additional learning features. These chapters typically have a brief edit history (e.g., less than 2 weeks) and often read like an early draft which would benefit from more drafting to address feedback, and better proofreading. Often chapters of this standard are noticeably shorter than chapters which attract higher grades. Chapter authors often haven't sought or acted upon feedback. Some useful social contributions to at some other chapters are made, but this tends to be fairly basic and made towards the end of the drafting period.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''F (Fail)'''
| The chapter does not demonstrate a satisfactory grasp of key psychological theory and research which pertains to a specific, unique motivation or emotion topic. Major gaps and/or errors in content are evident, sometimes with little to no use of peer-reviewed references. These chapters typically have underdeveloped heading structures and the content is often brief or incomplete. Layout and [[/Readability|readability]] is often poor and the quality of written expression is often undermined by poor spelling and/or grammar. Sometimes plagiarism may be evident. Generally, there is a lack of sufficient effort (e.g., these chapters often have short tend to have last-minute editing histories) and have attracted little, if any, peer review. Little to no social contribution is made to the development of other book chapters.

==Marking criteria==
[[File:Balanced scales.svg|right|125px]]
Book chapters will be marked against the following criteria.
===Overview (5%)===
* Provide an engaging scenario or case study
* Easy to read and understand outline of the key concepts and explanation of practical/real-world problem to be solved (problem statement)
* Establish [[/Focus questions|focus questions]] which align with the sub-title and heading structure
===Theory (20%)===
* Clearly explain the theoretical framework for understanding the topic
* Select the most relevant psychological theories/models that apply to the problem. Depending on the topic, this may involve focusing on a single theory or comparing and contrasting two or more theories
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed theory references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Clearly explain and apply the theory(ies)
* Include illustrative examples, such as case studies
* Demonstrate a critical perspective
===Research (25%)===
* Explain how key, peer-reviewed research findings apply to the problem

* Include relevant major reviews (systematic reviews, meta-analyses etc.)
* Demonstrate [[w:Critical thinking|critical thinking]]. Critically analyse key research findings, including limitations and implications.
===Integration (10%)===
* Integrate discussion of theory and review of relevant research
* Use research to critically inform interpretation and application of the theory(ies)
===Conclusion (5%)===
* Emphasise the key points and take-home messages, particularly in relation to the subtitle and focus questions, with implications for personal growth and development
===Style (20%)===
* Overall
** Present and illustrate the problem and knowledge in an interesting way, using a logical structure, clear layout, correct spelling and grammar, and [[APA style]]
** [[/Readability|Readable]] for a layperson interested in psychological science
** Address the [[#Theme|book theme]] by providing practical, academically sound, self-improvement information
** Address an international audience (i.e., avoid an overly local or national perspective)
** Use default wiki style for paragraph alignment, font colour, type, and size, and heading styles
** Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesise, behaviour, fulfilment) rather than American spelling (e.g., hypothesize, behavior, fulfillment)
** Correct grammar (e.g., see [[/Writing tips|writing tips]])
* Structure
** Use a logical heading structure that aligns with the focus questions
** Use [https://www.masterclass.com/articles/sentence-case-explained sentence casing] throughout, including for headings and sub-headings
** Use the default heading style (e.g., do not add italics and/or bold)
** Sub-headings are optional
*** Avoid having sections with a single sub-heading — each section should contain 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
*** If sub-headings are used, provides at least 1 introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
* Sentences
** [[w:Narration#Narrative point of view|Narrative point of view]][https://www.grammarly.com/blog/first-second-and-third-person/]: In the main text, use [[w:Narration#Third-person|3rd person perspective]] (e.g., "it", "they"). Where [[w:Aside|aside]]s are used, such as examples, case studies, and feature boxes, [[w:First-person narrative|1st person perspective]] (e.g., "I" and "we") and/or [[w:Narration#Second-person|2nd person perspective]] (e.g., "you") can work well.
* Paragraphs
** A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs.
** Paragraphs flow logically
* Use APA style (as much as reasonably possible), paying particular attention to:
** citations
** references (especially capitalisation, italicisation, and providing hyperlinked dois)
** table and figure captions
** quotes (include page numbers)
* Citations
** Claims need citations using APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style throughout the chapter — don't mix and match. For most psychology students, APA style will be the choice.
** Maximum of 3 citations per point (i.e., avoid 4 or more citations together).
* References
** List all cited academic references in APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style.
** Non-academic sources are not used in references. They can be included in the external links section.
===Learning features (5%)===
* Embed interactive learning features such as scenarios/case studies/examples, feature boxes, figures, quizzes, links to relevant Wikipedia and Wikipedia pages, as well as links to key resources via the "See also" and "External links" sections
* Case studies
** Include 1 or more examples, scenarios, or case studies
** They can be true (if so, include citations) or fictional
** Use these examples to enhance understanding of theory, research, focus questions, and/or take-home messages
** Present in a feature box and include a figure
** Consider using a "progressive case study" (i.e., a case study presented in separate parts which describe, for example, the problem, attempt at change, and resolution/outcomes).
** Examples of chapters which make effective use of case studies:
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Emotional abuse|emotional abuse]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Food and fear|food and fear]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Opioid system and human emotion|opioid system and human emotion]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Social support and emotion|social support and emotion]] (2019)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Feature box|Feature boxes]]
** Use to highlight key information, but avoid overuse
** There are various ways of creating coloured boxes, but the [[Template:RoundBoxTop|RoundBox]] template is a good option.
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Figures|Figures]]
** Include relevant, accompanying figures (e.g., photos, drawings, diagrams) to facilitate readers' understanding of the concepts
** Figures are accompanied by explanatory captions and be cited at least once in the main text
** For more information, see [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Figures|How to use figures]]).
* [[Help:Links|Links]]
** In-text (embedded) links: Key words and concepts are [[Making links|linked]] to Wikipedia articles and/or related book chapters. Provide in-text wiki links the ''first time'' that key concepts are mentioned. For example:
*** [[w:Emotion|emotion]] involves physiological, subjective feeling, motivational, and socially expressive aspects. The syntax for creating this link is <nowiki>[[w:Emotion|emotion]]</nowiki>). It is also possible to link to a section on this same page e.g., <nowiki>[[#Overview|Overview]]<nowiki> will link to the Overview section.
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Fitspiration and body image|This chapter]] provides an excellent example of embedded links to Wikiversity pages.
** See also
*** Provide interwiki links to key related Wikiversity book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
*** Include source in parentheses
** External links
*** Provide at least three links to high quality, relevant external resources
*** Include author and/or source in parentheses
** Published academic sources belong in References
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Tables|Tables]]
** Use accompanying tables to help organise information and communicate concepts to readers
** Tables are accompanied by explanatory APA style captions and are cited in the body text
* [[Help:Quiz|Quizzes]]
** Quiz questions or reflection questions encourage reader engagement
** Focus on core concepts (esp. take-home messages) rather than trivia
** Consider incorporating throughout the chapter
{{anchor|Socialcontribution}}
===Social contribution (10%)===
* '''Actions''': Logged contributions which enhance the quality of other book chapters. Useful actions include:
** '''edits''': direct edits which improve past or current chapters (e.g., fix errors, enhance clarity) or flag potential improvements by adding [[Template:Clarification templates|clarification templates]]. [[/Search for chapters to improve|Search for chapters to improve]].
** '''comments''': feedback provided on book chapter [[Help:Talk page|talk page]]s
** '''media uploads''': create and/or upload free-to-use images to [[commons:|Wikimedia Commons]]
** '''{{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion posts'''
* '''Evidence''': Provide a numbered list of social contributions on your [[Help:User page|Wikiversity user page]], with direct links to changes. To receive credit, contributions must be publicly logged (i.e., log in to Wikiversity so that the edit is recorded with your user name and time-stamp). Then summarise the edit on your user page (in a section called "Social contributions") using a numbered list and provide hyperlinks to direct evidence of the changes made. More info: [[/Summarising social contributions|summarising social contributions]].
* '''Marking'''
** Marking of social contributions will be based on:
*** '''quantity''' (breadth):
**** frequency: number of different chapters contributed to
**** channels: range of communication channels used
*** '''quality''' (depth):
*** insightfulness
**** practical value
**** extent/thoroughness
*** '''timeliness''' — there is generally:
**** greater value in earlier contributions
**** lesser value in "last minute" feedback
** Marks will be allocated to each clearly evidenced social contribution as follows:
*** Minor <= 0.25%
*** Moderate 0.50%
*** Major 1.00%
*** Very significant > 1.00%
*** Up to 5 bonus marks may be awarded for exceptional levels of contribution

! Grade
! Description
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''Bonus marks'''
| Up to 5 bonus marks are available in exceptional circumstances where wiki contributions to the book are above and beyond those required for HD-level. Such contributions could include very substantial contributions across multiple chapters. This could include extensive copyediting, regular feedback, and support on multiple chapter discussion pages. It may also involve substantial activity on the {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion.
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''HD (High Distinction)'''
| Very significant contributions are made to development of other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor clearly embraced the collaborative nature of the online book task. This is indicated primarily by the user's edit history on Wikiversity which shows significant and regular contributions to the development of at least several chapters via discussion page comments and probably also chapter edits. Such contributions are likely to have occurred across at least half of the semester. It is also quite likely that contributions extend across more than one channel of electronically logged communication (e.g., wiki contributions and {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion). Helping to significantly improve at least four other chapters is likely to be worth a HD.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''DI (Distinction)'''
| Significant contributions are made to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor embraced online collaboration as indicated by the user's wiki edit history. Notable contributions are made to the development of several chapters via discussion pages and chapter edits. Contributions are spread over at least a month. Contributions are likely to have extended across more than one publicly logged electronic communication channels (e.g., wiki contributions and {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion). Helping to significantly improve at least three others chapters is likely to be worth a DI.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''CR (Credit)'''
| Moderate contributions to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). The contributor embraced some aspects of online collaboration by providing many wiki edits beyond the contributor's target chapter and/or {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion posts. These contributions are made over a period of at least a couple of weeks and in sufficient time for other authors to incorporate the feedback into the final drafting process. As a guide, helping to significantly improve at least two other chapters is likely to be worth a CR.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''P (Pass)'''
| Basic contributions are made to other book chapters (beyond one's target chapter). For example, at least one other chapter in the book is significantly enhanced because of the user's contributions. This might involve some helpful comments on several occasions about at least one other book chapter — or perhaps a single, substantial proofread with several useful comments about a full draft could be sufficient for a Pass.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''F (Fail)'''
| Either no contributions are made or contributions were limited. A lack of collaborative effort is evident, as indicated by minimal, if any, wiki contributions beyond one's primary chapter and/or {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}. For example:
# comments lacked detail and/or depth;
# comments were not timely (e.g., were provided very late in the drafting process)

==Instructions==
The following instructions should be used to guide the development of the book chapter.
===Theme===
* Chapters should fit the book theme which is "understanding and improving our motivational and emotional lives using psychological science"
===Audience===
* The target audience is a general (non-topic-expert) reader interested in personal growth and development based on knowledge in psychological science (theory and research). This is a [[w:science communication|science communication]] exercise.
===Wikiversity===
* Present the chapter as a single page on the [[Main Page|English Wikiversity]] website. A link to the chapter should appear in the [[Motivation and emotion/Book|table of contents]] along with the lead author's Wikiversity user name
===Topic===
* The title and sub-title must be approved by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Collaboration and feedback===
* Chapters should be independently developed and written primarily by the lead author, but collaboration is strongly encouraged (e.g., by incorporating useful edits and feedback from others)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Using generative AI|Generative AI]] may be used with appropriate acknowledgement
* Lead authors are encouraged to seek feedback about the chapter during the drafting process (e.g., start a {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion thread<!-- (use the chapter title and subtitle in the subject line and include a clickable hyperlink to the chapter in the message)-->)
* Feedback is usually best placed on the chapter's wiki discussion page
* Feedback on the [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|topic development]] (chapter plan) will be provided by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Length (word count)===
{{Anchor|Wordcount}}{{Anchor|Word count}}
* There is no minimum length
* Maximum 4,000 words
** There is no additional 10% allowance
** Words beyond the maximum will not be considered for marking purposes
** Count everything from top to bottom of the editable page (in view mode, not edit mode):
*** Include the title, subtitle, headings, text, tables, figures, references, see also, and external links
** Use this [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/word-counter/cbjddaobmdfhbfgdgjocbhklpmclcboe Word Counter] (Google Chrome Extension) or paste the URL into [https://hsuper.tools/web-page-word-counter Webpage Word Counter] (it will overcount by ~100 words) or cut and paste into a word processor
* If you are having difficulties complying with the maximum word count, see [[/Word count|these suggestions]]
===Submission===
* Submit the chapter URL (website address), your Wikiversity user name, and a PDF of the chapter via {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}
==Marking criteria==
[[File:Balanced scales.svg|right|125px]]
Book chapters will be marked against the following criteria.
===Overview (5%)===
* Provide an engaging scenario or case study
* Easy to read and understand outline of the key concepts and explanation of practical/real-world problem to be solved (problem statement)
* Establish [[/Focus questions|focus questions]] which align with the sub-title and heading structure
===Theory (20%)===
* Clearly explain the theoretical framework for understanding the topic
* Select the most relevant psychological theories/models that apply to the problem. Depending on the topic, this may involve focusing on a single theory or comparing and contrasting two or more theories
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed theory references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Clearly explain and apply the theory(ies)
* Include illustrative examples, such as case studies
* Demonstrate a critical perspective
===Research (25%)===
* Explain how key, peer-reviewed research findings apply to the problem
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed research references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Include relevant major reviews (systematic reviews, meta-analyses etc.)
* Demonstrate [[w:Critical thinking|critical thinking]]. Critically analyse key research findings, including limitations and implications.
===Integration (10%)===
* Integrate discussion of theory and review of relevant research
* Use research to critically inform interpretation and application of the theory(ies)
===Conclusion (5%)===
* Emphasise the key points and take-home messages, particularly in relation to the subtitle and focus questions, with implications for personal growth and development
===Style (20%)===
* Overall
** Present and illustrate the problem and knowledge in an interesting way, using a logical structure, clear layout, correct spelling and grammar, and [[APA style]]
** [[/Readability|Readable]] for a layperson interested in psychological science
** Address the [[#Theme|book theme]] by providing practical, academically sound, self-improvement information
** Address an international audience (i.e., avoid an overly local or national perspective)
** Use default wiki style for paragraph alignment, font colour, type, and size, and heading styles
** Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesise, behaviour, fulfilment) rather than American spelling (e.g., hypothesize, behavior, fulfillment)
** Correct grammar (e.g., see [[/Writing tips|writing tips]])
* Structure
** Use a logical heading structure that aligns with the focus questions
** Use [https://www.masterclass.com/articles/sentence-case-explained sentence casing] throughout, including for headings and sub-headings
** Use the default heading style (e.g., do not add italics and/or bold)
** Sub-headings are optional
*** Avoid having sections with a single sub-heading — each section should contain 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
*** If sub-headings are used, provides at least 1 introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
* Sentences
** [[w:Narration#Narrative point of view|Narrative point of view]][https://www.grammarly.com/blog/first-second-and-third-person/]: In the main text, use [[w:Narration#Third-person|3rd person perspective]] (e.g., "it", "they"). Where [[w:Aside|aside]]s are used, such as examples, case studies, and feature boxes, [[w:First-person narrative|1st person perspective]] (e.g., "I" and "we") and/or [[w:Narration#Second-person|2nd person perspective]] (e.g., "you") can work well.
* Paragraphs
** A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs.
** Paragraphs flow logically
* Use APA style (as much as reasonably possible), paying particular attention to:
** citations
** references (especially capitalisation, italicisation, and providing hyperlinked dois)
** table and figure captions
** quotes (include page numbers)
* Citations
** Claims need citations using APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style throughout the chapter — don't mix and match. For most psychology students, APA style will be the choice.
** Maximum of 3 citations per point (i.e., avoid 4 or more citations together).
* References
** List all cited academic references in APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style.
** Non-academic sources are not used in references. They can be included in the external links section.
===Learning features (5%)===
* Embed interactive learning features such as scenarios/case studies/examples, feature boxes, figures, quizzes, links to relevant Wikipedia and Wikipedia pages, as well as links to key resources via the "See also" and "External links" sections
* Case studies
** Include 1 or more examples, scenarios, or case studies
** They can be true (if so, include citations) or fictional
** Use these examples to enhance understanding of theory, research, focus questions, and/or take-home messages
** Present in a feature box and include a figure
** Consider using a "progressive case study" (i.e., a case study presented in separate parts which describe, for example, the problem, attempt at change, and resolution/outcomes).
** Examples of chapters which make effective use of case studies:
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Emotional abuse|emotional abuse]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Food and fear|food and fear]] (2019)

*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Social support and emotion|social support and emotion]] (2019)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Feature box|Feature boxes]]
** Use to highlight key information, but avoid overuse
** There are various ways of creating coloured boxes, but the [[Template:RoundBoxTop|RoundBox]] template is a good option.
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Figures|Figures]]
** Include relevant, accompanying figures (e.g., photos, drawings, diagrams) to facilitate readers' understanding of the concepts
** Figures are accompanied by explanatory captions and be cited at least once in the main text
** For more information, see [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Figures|How to use figures]]).
* [[Help:Links|Links]]
** In-text (embedded) links: Key words and concepts are [[Making links|linked]] to Wikipedia articles and/or related book chapters. Provide in-text wiki links the ''first time'' that key concepts are mentioned. For example:

===Style (20%)===
* Overall
** Present and illustrate the problem and knowledge in an interesting way, using a logical structure, clear layout, correct spelling and grammar, and [[APA style]]
** [[/Readability|Readable]] for a layperson interested in psychological science
** Address the [[#Theme|book theme]] by providing practical, academically sound, self-improvement information
** Address an international audience (i.e., avoid an overly local or national perspective)
** Use default wiki style for paragraph alignment, font colour, type, and size, and heading styles
** Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesise, behaviour, fulfilment) rather than American spelling (e.g., hypothesize, behavior, fulfillment)
** Correct grammar (e.g., see [[/Writing tips|writing tips]])
* Structure
** Use a logical heading structure that aligns with the focus questions
** Use [https://www.masterclass.com/articles/sentence-case-explained sentence casing] throughout, including for headings and sub-headings
** Use the default heading style (e.g., do not add italics and/or bold)
** Sub-headings are optional
*** Avoid having sections with a single sub-heading — each section should contain 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
*** If sub-headings are used, provides at least 1 introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
* Sentences
** [[w:Narration#Narrative point of view|Narrative point of view]][https://www.grammarly.com/blog/first-second-and-third-person/]: In the main text, use [[w:Narration#Third-person|3rd person perspective]] (e.g., "it", "they"). Where [[w:Aside|aside]]s are used, such as examples, case studies, and feature boxes, [[w:First-person narrative|1st person perspective]] (e.g., "I" and "we") and/or [[w:Narration#Second-person|2nd person perspective]] (e.g., "you") can work well.
* Paragraphs
** A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs.
** Paragraphs flow logically
* Use APA style (as much as reasonably possible), paying particular attention to:
** citations
** references (especially capitalisation, italicisation, and providing hyperlinked dois)
** table and figure captions

** They can be true (if so, include citations) or fictional
** Use these examples to enhance understanding of theory, research, focus questions, and/or take-home messages
** Present in a feature box and include a figure
** Consider using a "progressive case study" (i.e., a case study presented in separate parts which describe, for example, the problem, attempt at change, and resolution/outcomes).
** Examples of chapters which make effective use of case studies:
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Emotional abuse|emotional abuse]] (2019)

** Figures are accompanied by explanatory captions and be cited at least once in the main text
** For more information, see [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Figures|How to use figures]]).
* [[Help:Links|Links]]
** In-text (embedded) links: Key words and concepts are [[Making links|linked]] to Wikipedia articles and/or related book chapters. Provide in-text wiki links the ''first time'' that key concepts are mentioned. For example:
*** [[w:Emotion|emotion]] involves physiological, subjective feeling, motivational, and socially expressive aspects. The syntax for creating this link is <nowiki>[[w:Emotion|emotion]]</nowiki>). It is also possible to link to a section on this same page e.g., <nowiki>[[#Overview|Overview]]<nowiki> will link to the Overview section.
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Fitspiration and body image|This chapter]] provides an excellent example of embedded links to Wikiversity pages.
** See also

==Instructions==
The following instructions should be used to guide the development of the book chapter.
===Theme===
* Chapters should fit the book theme which is "understanding and improving our motivational and emotional lives using psychological science"
===Audience===
* The target audience is a general (non-topic-expert) reader interested in personal growth and development based on knowledge in psychological science (theory and research). This is a [[w:science communication|science communication]] exercise.
===Wikiversity===
* Present the chapter as a single page on the [[Main Page|English Wikiversity]] website. A link to the chapter should appear in the [[Motivation and emotion/Book|table of contents]] along with the lead author's Wikiversity user name
===Topic===
* The title and sub-title must be approved by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Collaboration and feedback===
* Chapters should be independently developed and written primarily by the lead author, but collaboration is strongly encouraged (e.g., by incorporating useful edits and feedback from others)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Using generative AI|Generative AI]] may be used with appropriate acknowledgement
* Lead authors are encouraged to seek feedback about the chapter during the drafting process (e.g., start a {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion thread<!-- (use the chapter title and subtitle in the subject line and include a clickable hyperlink to the chapter in the message)-->)
* Feedback is usually best placed on the chapter's wiki discussion page
* Feedback on the [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|topic development]] (chapter plan) will be provided by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Length (word count)===
{{Anchor|Wordcount}}{{Anchor|Word count}}
* There is no minimum length
* Maximum 4,000 words
** There is no additional 10% allowance
** Words beyond the maximum will not be considered for marking purposes
** Count everything from top to bottom of the editable page (in view mode, not edit mode):
*** Include the title, subtitle, headings, text, tables, figures, references, see also, and external links
** Use this [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/word-counter/cbjddaobmdfhbfgdgjocbhklpmclcboe Word Counter] (Google Chrome Extension) or paste the URL into [https://hsuper.tools/web-page-word-counter Webpage Word Counter] (it will overcount by ~100 words) or cut and paste into a word processor
* If you are having difficulties complying with the maximum word count, see [[/Word count|these suggestions]]
===Submission===
* Submit the chapter URL (website address), your Wikiversity user name, and a PDF of the chapter via {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}
==Marking criteria==
[[File:Balanced scales.svg|right|125px]]
Book chapters will be marked against the following criteria.
===Overview (5%)===
* Provide an engaging scenario or case study
* Easy to read and understand outline of the key concepts and explanation of practical/real-world problem to be solved (problem statement)
* Establish [[/Focus questions|focus questions]] which align with the sub-title and heading structure
===Theory (20%)===
* Clearly explain the theoretical framework for understanding the topic
* Select the most relevant psychological theories/models that apply to the problem. Depending on the topic, this may involve focusing on a single theory or comparing and contrasting two or more theories
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed theory references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Clearly explain and apply the theory(ies)
* Include illustrative examples, such as case studies
* Demonstrate a critical perspective
===Research (25%)===
* Explain how key, peer-reviewed research findings apply to the problem
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed research references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Include relevant major reviews (systematic reviews, meta-analyses etc.)
* Demonstrate [[w:Critical thinking|critical thinking]]. Critically analyse key research findings, including limitations and implications.
===Integration (10%)===
* Integrate discussion of theory and review of relevant research
* Use research to critically inform interpretation and application of the theory(ies)
===Conclusion (5%)===
* Emphasise the key points and take-home messages, particularly in relation to the subtitle and focus questions, with implications for personal growth and development
===Style (20%)===
* Overall
** Present and illustrate the problem and knowledge in an interesting way, using a logical structure, clear layout, correct spelling and grammar, and [[APA style]]
** [[/Readability|Readable]] for a layperson interested in psychological science
** Address the [[#Theme|book theme]] by providing practical, academically sound, self-improvement information
** Address an international audience (i.e., avoid an overly local or national perspective)
** Use default wiki style for paragraph alignment, font colour, type, and size, and heading styles
** Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesise, behaviour, fulfilment) rather than American spelling (e.g., hypothesize, behavior, fulfillment)
** Correct grammar (e.g., see [[/Writing tips|writing tips]])
* Structure
** Use a logical heading structure that aligns with the focus questions
** Use [https://www.masterclass.com/articles/sentence-case-explained sentence casing] throughout, including for headings and sub-headings
** Use the default heading style (e.g., do not add italics and/or bold)
** Sub-headings are optional
*** Avoid having sections with a single sub-heading — each section should contain 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
*** If sub-headings are used, provides at least 1 introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
* Sentences
** [[w:Narration#Narrative point of view|Narrative point of view]][https://www.grammarly.com/blog/first-second-and-third-person/]: In the main text, use [[w:Narration#Third-person|3rd person perspective]] (e.g., "it", "they"). Where [[w:Aside|aside]]s are used, such as examples, case studies, and feature boxes, [[w:First-person narrative|1st person perspective]] (e.g., "I" and "we") and/or [[w:Narration#Second-person|2nd person perspective]] (e.g., "you") can work well.
* Paragraphs
** A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs.
** Paragraphs flow logically
* Use APA style (as much as reasonably possible), paying particular attention to:
** citations
** references (especially capitalisation, italicisation, and providing hyperlinked dois)
** table and figure captions
** quotes (include page numbers)
* Citations
** Claims need citations using APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style throughout the chapter — don't mix and match. For most psychology students, APA style will be the choice.
** Maximum of 3 citations per point (i.e., avoid 4 or more citations together).
* References
** List all cited academic references in APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style.
** Non-academic sources are not used in references. They can be included in the external links section.
===Learning features (5%)===
* Embed interactive learning features such as scenarios/case studies/examples, feature boxes, figures, quizzes, links to relevant Wikipedia and Wikipedia pages, as well as links to key resources via the "See also" and "External links" sections
* Case studies
** Include 1 or more examples, scenarios, or case studies
** They can be true (if so, include citations) or fictional
** Use these examples to enhance understanding of theory, research, focus questions, and/or take-home messages
** Present in a feature box and include a figure
** Consider using a "progressive case study" (i.e., a case study presented in separate parts which describe, for example, the problem, attempt at change, and resolution/outcomes).
** Examples of chapters which make effective use of case studies:
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Emotional abuse|emotional abuse]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Food and fear|food and fear]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Opioid system and human emotion|opioid system and human emotion]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Social support and emotion|social support and emotion]] (2019)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Feature box|Feature boxes]]
** Use to highlight key information, but avoid overuse
** There are various ways of creating coloured boxes, but the [[Template:RoundBoxTop|RoundBox]] template is a good option.
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Figures|Figures]]
** Include relevant, accompanying figures (e.g., photos, drawings, diagrams) to facilitate readers' understanding of the concepts
** Figures are accompanied by explanatory captions and be cited at least once in the main text
** For more information, see [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Figures|How to use figures]]).
* [[Help:Links|Links]]
** In-text (embedded) links: Key words and concepts are [[Making links|linked]] to Wikipedia articles and/or related book chapters. Provide in-text wiki links the ''first time'' that key concepts are mentioned. For example:
*** [[w:Emotion|emotion]] involves physiological, subjective feeling, motivational, and socially expressive aspects. The syntax for creating this link is <nowiki>[[w:Emotion|emotion]]</nowiki>). It is also possible to link to a section on this same page e.g., <nowiki>[[#Overview|Overview]]<nowiki> will link to the Overview section.
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Fitspiration and body image|This chapter]] provides an excellent example of embedded links to Wikiversity pages.
** See also
*** Provide interwiki links to key related Wikiversity book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
*** Include source in parentheses
** External links
*** Provide at least three links to high quality, relevant external resources
*** Include author and/or source in parentheses
** Published academic sources belong in References
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Tables|Tables]]
** Use accompanying tables to help organise information and communicate concepts to readers
** Tables are accompanied by explanatory APA style captions and are cited in the body text
* [[Help:Quiz|Quizzes]]
** Quiz questions or reflection questions encourage reader engagement
** Focus on core concepts (esp. take-home messages) rather than trivia
** Consider incorporating throughout the chapter

* Use research to critically inform interpretation and application of the theory(ies)
===Conclusion (5%)===
* Emphasise the key points and take-home messages, particularly in relation to the subtitle and focus questions, with implications for personal growth and development
===Style (20%)===
* Overall
** Present and illustrate the problem and knowledge in an interesting way, using a logical structure, clear layout, correct spelling and grammar, and [[APA style]]
** [[/Readability|Readable]] for a layperson interested in psychological science
** Address the [[#Theme|book theme]] by providing practical, academically sound, self-improvement information
** Address an international audience (i.e., avoid an overly local or national perspective)
** Use default wiki style for paragraph alignment, font colour, type, and size, and heading styles
** Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesise, behaviour, fulfilment) rather than American spelling (e.g., hypothesize, behavior, fulfillment)
** Correct grammar (e.g., see [[/Writing tips|writing tips]])
* Structure
** Use a logical heading structure that aligns with the focus questions
** Use [https://www.masterclass.com/articles/sentence-case-explained sentence casing] throughout, including for headings and sub-headings
** Use the default heading style (e.g., do not add italics and/or bold)
** Sub-headings are optional
*** Avoid having sections with a single sub-heading — each section should contain 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
*** If sub-headings are used, provides at least 1 introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
* Sentences
** [[w:Narration#Narrative point of view|Narrative point of view]][https://www.grammarly.com/blog/first-second-and-third-person/]: In the main text, use [[w:Narration#Third-person|3rd person perspective]] (e.g., "it", "they"). Where [[w:Aside|aside]]s are used, such as examples, case studies, and feature boxes, [[w:First-person narrative|1st person perspective]] (e.g., "I" and "we") and/or [[w:Narration#Second-person|2nd person perspective]] (e.g., "you") can work well.
* Paragraphs
** A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs.
** Paragraphs flow logically
* Use APA style (as much as reasonably possible), paying particular attention to:
** citations
** references (especially capitalisation, italicisation, and providing hyperlinked dois)
** table and figure captions
** quotes (include page numbers)
* Citations
** Claims need citations using APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style throughout the chapter — don't mix and match. For most psychology students, APA style will be the choice.
** Maximum of 3 citations per point (i.e., avoid 4 or more citations together).
* References
** List all cited academic references in APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style.

* Case studies
** Include 1 or more examples, scenarios, or case studies
** They can be true (if so, include citations) or fictional
** Use these examples to enhance understanding of theory, research, focus questions, and/or take-home messages
** Present in a feature box and include a figure
** Consider using a "progressive case study" (i.e., a case study presented in separate parts which describe, for example, the problem, attempt at change, and resolution/outcomes).
** Examples of chapters which make effective use of case studies:
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Emotional abuse|emotional abuse]] (2019)

** Include relevant, accompanying figures (e.g., photos, drawings, diagrams) to facilitate readers' understanding of the concepts
** Figures are accompanied by explanatory captions and be cited at least once in the main text
** For more information, see [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Figures|How to use figures]]).
* [[Help:Links|Links]]
** In-text (embedded) links: Key words and concepts are [[Making links|linked]] to Wikipedia articles and/or related book chapters. Provide in-text wiki links the ''first time'' that key concepts are mentioned. For example:
*** [[w:Emotion|emotion]] involves physiological, subjective feeling, motivational, and socially expressive aspects. The syntax for creating this link is <nowiki>[[w:Emotion|emotion]]</nowiki>). It is also possible to link to a section on this same page e.g., <nowiki>[[#Overview|Overview]]<nowiki> will link to the Overview section.
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Fitspiration and body image|This chapter]] provides an excellent example of embedded links to Wikiversity pages.
** See also
*** Provide interwiki links to key related Wikiversity book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
*** Include source in parentheses
** External links
*** Provide at least three links to high quality, relevant external resources
*** Include author and/or source in parentheses

==Instructions==
The following instructions should be used to guide the development of the book chapter.
===Theme===
* Chapters should fit the book theme which is "understanding and improving our motivational and emotional lives using psychological science"
===Audience===
* The target audience is a general (non-topic-expert) reader interested in personal growth and development based on knowledge in psychological science (theory and research). This is a [[w:science communication|science communication]] exercise.
===Wikiversity===
* Present the chapter as a single page on the [[Main Page|English Wikiversity]] website. A link to the chapter should appear in the [[Motivation and emotion/Book|table of contents]] along with the lead author's Wikiversity user name
===Topic===
* The title and sub-title must be approved by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Collaboration and feedback===
* Chapters should be independently developed and written primarily by the lead author, but collaboration is strongly encouraged (e.g., by incorporating useful edits and feedback from others)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Using generative AI|Generative AI]] may be used with appropriate acknowledgement
* Lead authors are encouraged to seek feedback about the chapter during the drafting process (e.g., start a {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion thread<!-- (use the chapter title and subtitle in the subject line and include a clickable hyperlink to the chapter in the message)-->)
* Feedback is usually best placed on the chapter's wiki discussion page
* Feedback on the [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|topic development]] (chapter plan) will be provided by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Length (word count)===
{{Anchor|Wordcount}}{{Anchor|Word count}}
* There is no minimum length
* Maximum 4,000 words
** There is no additional 10% allowance
** Words beyond the maximum will not be considered for marking purposes
** Count everything from top to bottom of the editable page (in view mode, not edit mode):
*** Include the title, subtitle, headings, text, tables, figures, references, see also, and external links
** Use this [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/word-counter/cbjddaobmdfhbfgdgjocbhklpmclcboe Word Counter] (Google Chrome Extension) or paste the URL into [https://hsuper.tools/web-page-word-counter Webpage Word Counter] (it will overcount by ~100 words) or cut and paste into a word processor
* If you are having difficulties complying with the maximum word count, see [[/Word count|these suggestions]]
===Submission===
* Submit the chapter URL (website address), your Wikiversity user name, and a PDF of the chapter via {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}
==Marking criteria==
[[File:Balanced scales.svg|right|125px]]
Book chapters will be marked against the following criteria.
===Overview (5%)===
* Scenario: Provide an engaging scenario or case study in a feature box, with an illustrative figure
* Problem statement: Easy to read and understand outline of the key concepts and explanation of practical/real-world problem to be solved
* Focus questions: Establish [[/Focus questions|focus questions]] which align with the sub-title and subsequent heading structure
===Theory (20%)===
* Clearly explain the theoretical framework for understanding the topic
* Select the most relevant psychological theories/models that apply to the problem. Depending on the topic, this may involve focusing on a single theory or comparing and contrasting two or more theories.
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed theory references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Clearly explain and apply the theory(ies)
* Include illustrative examples, such as case studies
* Demonstrate a critical perspective
===Research (25%)===
* Clearly explain how key, peer-reviewed research findings apply to the problem
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed research references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Include relevant major reviews (such as systematic reviews and meta-analyses)
* [[w:Critical thinking|Critical analyse]] the key research findings, including limitations and implications
===Integration (10%)===
* Integrate discussion of theory and review of relevant research
* Use research to critically inform interpretation and application of the theory(ies)
===Conclusion (5%)===
* Emphasise the key points and take-home messages, particularly in relation to the subtitle and focus questions, with implications for personal growth and development
===Style (20%)===
* Overall
** Present and illustrate the problem and knowledge in an interesting way, using a logical structure, clear layout, correct spelling and grammar, and [[APA style]]
** [[/Readability|Readable]] for a layperson interested in psychological science
** Address the [[#Theme|book theme]] by providing practical, academically sound, self-improvement information
** Address an international audience (i.e., avoid an overly local or national perspective)
** Use default wiki style for paragraph alignment, font colour, type, and size, and heading styles
** Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesise, behaviour, fulfilment) rather than American spelling (e.g., hypothesize, behavior, fulfillment)
** Correct grammar (e.g., see [[/Writing tips|writing tips]])
* Structure
** Use a logical heading structure that aligns with the focus questions
** Use [https://www.masterclass.com/articles/sentence-case-explained sentence casing] throughout, including for headings and sub-headings
** Use the default heading style (e.g., do not add italics and/or bold)
** Sub-headings are optional
*** Avoid having sections with a single sub-heading — each section should contain 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
*** If sub-headings are used, provides at least 1 introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
* Sentences
** [[w:Narration#Narrative point of view|Narrative point of view]][https://www.grammarly.com/blog/first-second-and-third-person/]: In the main text, use [[w:Narration#Third-person|3rd person perspective]] (e.g., "it", "they"). Where [[w:Aside|aside]]s are used, such as examples, case studies, and feature boxes, [[w:First-person narrative|1st person perspective]] (e.g., "I" and "we") and/or [[w:Narration#Second-person|2nd person perspective]] (e.g., "you") can work well.
* Paragraphs
** A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs.
** Paragraphs flow logically
* Use APA style (as much as reasonably possible), paying particular attention to:
** citations
** references (especially capitalisation, italicisation, and providing hyperlinked dois)
** table and figure captions
** quotes (include page numbers)
* Citations
** Claims need citations using APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style throughout the chapter — don't mix and match. For most psychology students, APA style will be the choice.
** Maximum of 3 citations per point (i.e., avoid 4 or more citations together).
* References
** List all cited academic references in APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style.
** Non-academic sources are not used in references. They can be included in the external links section.
===Learning features (5%)===
* Embed interactive learning features such as scenarios/case studies/examples, feature boxes, figures, quizzes, links to relevant Wikipedia and Wikipedia pages, as well as links to key resources via the "See also" and "External links" sections
* Case studies
** Include 1 or more examples, scenarios, or case studies
** They can be true (if so, include citations) or fictional
** Use these examples to enhance understanding of theory, research, focus questions, and/or take-home messages
** Present in a feature box and include a figure
** Consider using a "progressive case study" (i.e., a case study presented in separate parts which describe, for example, the problem, attempt at change, and resolution/outcomes).
** Examples of chapters which make effective use of case studies:
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Emotional abuse|emotional abuse]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Food and fear|food and fear]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Opioid system and human emotion|opioid system and human emotion]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Social support and emotion|social support and emotion]] (2019)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Feature box|Feature boxes]]
** Use to highlight key information, but avoid overuse
** There are various ways of creating coloured boxes, but the [[Template:RoundBoxTop|RoundBox]] template is a good option.
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Figures|Figures]]
** Include relevant, accompanying figures (e.g., photos, drawings, diagrams) to facilitate readers' understanding of the concepts
** Figures are accompanied by explanatory captions and be cited at least once in the main text
** For more information, see [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Figures|How to use figures]]).
* [[Help:Links|Links]]
** In-text (embedded) links: Key words and concepts are [[Making links|linked]] to Wikipedia articles and/or related book chapters. Provide in-text wiki links the ''first time'' that key concepts are mentioned. For example:
*** [[w:Emotion|emotion]] involves physiological, subjective feeling, motivational, and socially expressive aspects. The syntax for creating this link is <nowiki>[[w:Emotion|emotion]]</nowiki>). It is also possible to link to a section on this same page e.g., <nowiki>[[#Overview|Overview]]<nowiki> will link to the Overview section.
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Fitspiration and body image|This chapter]] provides an excellent example of embedded links to Wikiversity pages.
** See also
*** Provide interwiki links to key related Wikiversity book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
*** Include source in parentheses
** External links
*** Provide at least three links to high quality, relevant external resources
*** Include author and/or source in parentheses
** Published academic sources belong in References
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Tables|Tables]]
** Use accompanying tables to help organise information and communicate concepts to readers
** Tables are accompanied by explanatory APA style captions and are cited in the body text
* [[Help:Quiz|Quizzes]]
** Quiz questions or reflection questions encourage reader engagement
** Focus on core concepts (esp. take-home messages) rather than trivia
** Consider incorporating throughout the chapter
{{anchor|Socialcontribution}}
===Social contribution (10%)===

==Instructions==
The following instructions should be used to guide the development of the book chapter.
===Theme===
* Chapters should fit the book theme which is "understanding and improving our motivational and emotional lives using psychological science"
===Audience===
* The target audience is a general (non-topic-expert) reader interested in personal growth and development based on knowledge in psychological science (theory and research). This is a [[w:science communication|science communication]] exercise.
===Wikiversity===
* Present the chapter as a single page on the [[Main Page|English Wikiversity]] website. A link to the chapter should appear in the [[Motivation and emotion/Book|table of contents]] along with the lead author's Wikiversity user name
===Topic===
* The title and sub-title must be approved by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Collaboration and feedback===
* Chapters should be independently developed and written primarily by the lead author, but collaboration is strongly encouraged (e.g., by incorporating useful edits and feedback from others)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Using generative AI|Generative AI]] may be used with appropriate acknowledgement
* Lead authors are encouraged to seek feedback about the chapter during the drafting process (e.g., start a {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}} discussion thread<!-- (use the chapter title and subtitle in the subject line and include a clickable hyperlink to the chapter in the message)-->)
* Feedback is usually best placed on the chapter's wiki discussion page
* Feedback on the [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Topic|topic development]] (chapter plan) will be provided by the [[Motivation and emotion/About/Staff|unit convener]]
===Length (word count)===
{{Anchor|Wordcount}}{{Anchor|Word count}}
* There is no minimum length
* Maximum 4,000 words
** There is no additional 10% allowance
** Words beyond the maximum will not be considered for marking purposes
** Count everything from top to bottom of the editable page (in view mode, not edit mode):
*** Include the title, subtitle, headings, text, tables, figures, references, see also, and external links
** Use this [https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/word-counter/cbjddaobmdfhbfgdgjocbhklpmclcboe Word Counter] (Google Chrome Extension) or paste the URL into [https://hsuper.tools/web-page-word-counter Webpage Word Counter] (it will overcount by ~100 words) or cut and paste into a word processor
* If you are having difficulties complying with the maximum word count, see [[/Word count|these suggestions]]
===Submission===
* Submit the chapter URL (website address), your Wikiversity user name, and a PDF of the chapter via {{Motivation and emotion/Canvas}}
==Marking criteria==
[[File:Balanced scales.svg|right|125px]]
Book chapters will be marked against the following criteria.
===Overview (5%)===
* Scenario: Provide an engaging scenario or case study in a feature box, with an illustrative figure
* Problem statement: Easy to read and understand outline of the key concepts and explanation of practical/real-world problem to be solved
* Focus questions: Establish [[/Focus questions|focus questions]] which align with the sub-title and subsequent heading structure
===Theory (20%)===
* Clearly explain the theoretical framework for understanding the topic
* Select the most relevant psychological theories/models that apply to the problem. Depending on the topic, this may involve focusing on a single theory or comparing and contrasting two or more theories.
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed theory references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Clearly explain and apply the theory(ies)
* Include illustrative examples, such as case studies
* Demonstrate a critical perspective
===Research (25%)===
* Clearly explain how key, peer-reviewed research findings apply to the problem
* Use at least the best dozen or so peer-reviewed research references about the topic (e.g., see [[Motivation and emotion/Journals|list of motivation and emotion journals)
* Include relevant major reviews (such as systematic reviews and meta-analyses)
* [[w:Critical thinking|Critical analyse]] the key research findings, including limitations and implications
===Integration (10%)===
* Integrate discussion of theory and review of relevant research
* Use research to critically inform interpretation and application of the theory(ies)
===Conclusion (5%)===
* Clear and concise communication of key points and take-home messages
* Aligned with the subtitle and focus questions, with implications for the [[Motivation and emotion/Book/Theme|book theme]]
===Style (20%)===
* Overall
** Present and illustrate the problem and knowledge in an interesting way, using a logical structure, clear layout, correct spelling and grammar, and [[APA style]]
** [[/Readability|Readable]] for a layperson interested in psychological science
** Address the [[#Theme|book theme]] by providing practical, academically sound, self-improvement information
** Address an international audience (i.e., avoid an overly local or national perspective)
** Use default wiki style for paragraph alignment, font colour, type, and size, and heading styles
** Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesise, behaviour, fulfilment) rather than American spelling (e.g., hypothesize, behavior, fulfillment)
** Correct grammar (e.g., see [[/Writing tips|writing tips]])
* Structure
** Use a logical heading structure that aligns with the focus questions
** Use [https://www.masterclass.com/articles/sentence-case-explained sentence casing] throughout, including for headings and sub-headings
** Use the default heading style (e.g., do not add italics and/or bold)
** Sub-headings are optional
*** Avoid having sections with a single sub-heading — each section should contain 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
*** If sub-headings are used, provides at least 1 introductory paragraph before branching into sub-sections.
* Sentences
** [[w:Narration#Narrative point of view|Narrative point of view]][https://www.grammarly.com/blog/first-second-and-third-person/]: In the main text, use [[w:Narration#Third-person|3rd person perspective]] (e.g., "it", "they"). Where [[w:Aside|aside]]s are used, such as examples, case studies, and feature boxes, [[w:First-person narrative|1st person perspective]] (e.g., "I" and "we") and/or [[w:Narration#Second-person|2nd person perspective]] (e.g., "you") can work well.
* Paragraphs
** A well-constructed paragraph is generally 3 to 5 sentences (opening sentence, body sentences, and a concluding/linking sentence). Avoid one-sentence paragraphs and overly long paragraphs.
** Paragraphs flow logically
* Use APA style (as much as reasonably possible), paying particular attention to:
** citations
** references (especially capitalisation, italicisation, and providing hyperlinked dois)
** table and figure captions
** quotes (include page numbers)
* Citations
** Claims need citations using APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style throughout the chapter — don't mix and match. For most psychology students, APA style will be the choice.
** Maximum of 3 citations per point (i.e., avoid 4 or more citations together).
* References
** List all cited academic references in APA style or [[w:Wikipedia:Citing_sources|wiki citation style]]. Only use one style.
** Non-academic sources are not used in references. They can be included in the external links section.
===Learning features (5%)===
* Embed interactive learning features such as scenarios/case studies/examples, feature boxes, figures, quizzes, links to relevant Wikipedia and Wikipedia pages, as well as links to key resources via the "See also" and "External links" sections
* Case studies
** Include 1 or more examples, scenarios, or case studies
** They can be true (if so, include citations) or fictional
** Use these examples to enhance understanding of theory, research, focus questions, and/or take-home messages
** Present in a feature box and include a figure
** Consider using a "progressive case study" (i.e., a case study presented in separate parts which describe, for example, the problem, attempt at change, and resolution/outcomes).
** Examples of chapters which make effective use of case studies:
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Emotional abuse|emotional abuse]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Food and fear|food and fear]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Opioid system and human emotion|opioid system and human emotion]] (2019)
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2019/Social support and emotion|social support and emotion]] (2019)
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Feature box|Feature boxes]]
** Use to highlight key information, but avoid overuse
** There are various ways of creating coloured boxes, but the [[Template:RoundBoxTop|RoundBox]] template is a good option.
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Figures|Figures]]
** Include relevant, accompanying figures (e.g., photos, drawings, diagrams) to facilitate readers' understanding of the concepts
** Figures are accompanied by explanatory captions and be cited at least once in the main text
** For more information, see [[Motivation and emotion/Assessment/Chapter/Figures|How to use figures]]).
* [[Help:Links|Links]]
** In-text (embedded) links: Key words and concepts are [[Making links|linked]] to Wikipedia articles and/or related book chapters. Provide in-text wiki links the ''first time'' that key concepts are mentioned. For example:
*** [[w:Emotion|emotion]] involves physiological, subjective feeling, motivational, and socially expressive aspects. The syntax for creating this link is <nowiki>[[w:Emotion|emotion]]</nowiki>). It is also possible to link to a section on this same page e.g., <nowiki>[[#Overview|Overview]]<nowiki> will link to the Overview section.
*** [[Motivation and emotion/Book/2021/Fitspiration and body image|This chapter]] provides an excellent example of embedded links to Wikiversity pages.
** See also
*** Provide interwiki links to key related Wikiversity book chapters and/or Wikipedia articles
*** Include source in parentheses
** External links
*** Provide at least three links to high quality, relevant external resources
*** Include author and/or source in parentheses
** Published academic sources belong in References
* [[Motivation and emotion/Wikiversity/Tables|Tables]]
** Use accompanying tables to help organise information and communicate concepts to readers
** Tables are accompanied by explanatory APA style captions and are cited in the body text
* [[Help:Quiz|Quizzes]]
** Quiz questions or reflection questions encourage reader engagement
** Focus on core concepts (esp. take-home messages) rather than trivia
** Consider incorporating throughout the chapter
{{anchor|Socialcontribution}}

* In Ubuntu, using the Ubuntu Software Center, I installed GiNac and CLN related software and symbolic package for Octave. But it did not properly installed.
* After extracting files from symbolic-1.0.9.tar.gz, I followed the following steps.
./configure
./make
./make INSTALL_PATH=/usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/symbolic-1.0.9
* While doing this, I got an error message related to mkoctfile. So, I used the following command: sudo apt-get install ocatve3.2-headers. Then I was able to install the symbolic packages in the Ubuntu.

* Visit http://octave.sourceforge.net/index.html
* Download symbolic-1.0.9.tar.gz
* In Ubuntu, using the Ubuntu Software Center, I installed GiNac and CLN related software and symbolic package for Octave. But it did not properly installed.
* After extracting files from symbolic-1.0.9.tar.gz, I followed the following steps.
./configure
./make
./make INSTALL_PATH=/usr/share/octave/packages/3.2/symbolic-1.0.9
* While doing this, I got an error message related to mkoctfile. So, I used the following command: sudo apt-get install ocatve3.2-headers. Then I was able to install the symbolic packages in the Ubuntu.

==Background==
[[W:Festination|'''Festination''']] is a common PD symptom, which consists of taking very short rapid paces and sometimes breaking into a run. it arises from a postural defect. The body bends forward shifting the centre of gravity so that the patient takes an instinctive small step forward in order to maintain balance.

Morris et al <ref> Morris, Meg, E.; Marti, Clarissa, L. and Schenkman, Margaret L. {{font|color=maroon|'''(2010)'''}} {{font|color=fuchsia|'''Full Text'''}} Phys. Ther. 90 (2) 280–288. ''Striding Out With Parkinson Disease: Evidence-Based Physical Therapy for Gait Disorders'' http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2816030/?tool=pmcentrez </ref> evaluate the best options in physiotherapy for the treatment of gait disorders arising from PD. They concluded:-
<blockquote> ''Comprehensive, client-centered physical therapy for people with PD is based on compensatory strategies to bypass the defective basal ganglia, strategies to improve motor learning and performance through practice, management of secondary sequelae affecting the musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory systems, and fall education, as well as on assisting people to make lifelong changes in physical activity habits. The extent to which strategies, exercises, and health education are used varies according to individual needs and changes over time as the person ages and the disease progresses. Overall, the aim is to enable the person with PD to live well by providing effective physical therapy interventions at optimal times to promote health and well-being and by educating the individual regarding long-term self-management strategies.'' </blockquote>

Many of the functions that arise naturally in mathematics and real world applications can be extended to and regarded as complex functions, meaning the input, as well as the output, can be complex numbers <math>x+iy</math>, where <math>i=\sqrt{-1}</math>, in such a way that it is a more natural object to study. '''Complex analysis''', which used to be known as '''function theory''' or '''theory of functions of a single complex variable''', is a sub-field of analysis that studies such functions (more specifically, '''holomorphic''' functions) on the complex plane, or part (domain) or extension (Riemann surface) thereof. It notably has great importance in number theory, e.g. the [[Riemann zeta function]] (for the distribution of primes) and other <math>L</math>-functions, modular forms, elliptic functions, etc. <blockquote>The shortest path between two truths in the real domain passes through the complex domain. — [[wikipedia:Jacques_Hadamard|Jacques Hadamard]]</blockquote>In a certain sense, the essence of complex functions is captured by the principle of [[analytic continuation]].{{mathematics}}

==Grade descriptions==
This section describes typical characteristics of topic developments at each grade level, based on the [[#Marking criteria|marking criteria]].
{| border=1 cellpadding=7 cellspacing=0 style = "background:transparent; width:90%"
! Grade
! Description
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''HD (High Distinction)'''
| A clear, complete, easy to understand plan is presented. Considerable depth and breadth of theoretical and research knowledge of the topic is demonstrated via the scope and detail within the plan. All recommended sections are provided. The development of the plan illustrates that the author has actively engaged in developing skills required for collaborative online writing and editing (e.g., interwiki links are provided for key terms, responses are made to comments on the chapter talk page). There are citations to more than 6 key academic sources with references provided in APA style. The author introduces themself on their Wikiversity user page and summarises and provides directly verifiable evidence of editing another chapter, comment provided on another chapter's talk page, and posting to the discussion forum.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''DI (Distinction)'''
| A very good, understandable plan is presented. The plan includes key relevant theory and research, with relevant references. The material is well organised into sections, with minimal spelling and grammar issues. There is good evidence that the author has developed the capacity to work effectively in the collaborative editing environment. The author's user page is set up and links to evidence of social contributions. However, there is at least 1 area for improvement.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''CR (Credit)'''
| A competent plan is presented. The plan includes the main ideas and sections necessary for developing a good chapter about the topic. Some aspects of the plan, however, may be missing, limited, or problematic. For example, the headings and structure may be under-developed, the reference list may indicate a lack of depth in investigation of the topic, use of wiki links and/or images could often be improved, and/or user page set-up feedback about other chapters may not have been completed.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''P (Pass)'''
| A basic, sufficient plan is presented, however there may be incomplete coverage of relevant theory and research, and/or a lack of depth or breadth in conceptualising the chapter. The chapter plan covers basic theory and research about the topic, but lacks detail about how the concepts will be brought together to help address the topic. A basic heading structure is presented, but is likely to need more sections and/or improved formatting or organisation. Spelling and grammar problems are often evident. Citation and referencing tends to be missing or limited in scope and quality (e.g., top peer-reviewed citations about the topic haven't been cited). These plans usually have very brief edit histories (e.g., less than 24 hours) and are often noticeably shorter than plans which attract higher grades. Authors often haven't set up an informative user page or provided evidence of engagement with the development of other chapter plans.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''F (Fail)'''
| The plan is insufficient and/or incomplete. Major gaps and/or errors in content are evident. Little evidence of awareness of relevant theory, research, and use of peer-reviewed references. These plans typically have under-developed heading structures and do not illustrate the use of key editing skills. Written expression is often undermined by poor spelling and/or grammar. These plans typically have very brief editing histories (e.g., consist of a few, last minute edits). There is generally no evidence of active engagement with the development of other chapters.

==Grade descriptions==
This section describes typical characteristics of topic developments at each grade level, based on the [[#Marking criteria|marking criteria]].
{| border=1 cellpadding=7 cellspacing=0 style = "background:transparent; width:90%"
! Grade
! Description
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''HD (High Distinction)'''
| A clear, complete, easy to understand plan is presented. Considerable depth and breadth of theoretical and research knowledge of the topic is demonstrated via the scope and detail within the plan. All recommended sections are provided. The development of the plan illustrates that the author has actively engaged in developing skills required for collaborative online writing and editing (e.g., interwiki links are provided for key terms, responses are made to comments on the chapter talk page). There are citations to more than 6 key academic sources with references provided in APA style. The author introduces themself on their Wikiversity user page and summarises and provides directly verifiable evidence of editing another chapter, comment provided on another chapter's talk page, and posting to the discussion forum.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''DI (Distinction)'''
| A very good, understandable plan is presented. The plan includes key relevant theory and research, with relevant references. The material is well organised into sections, with minimal spelling and grammar issues. There is good evidence that the author has developed the capacity to work effectively in the collaborative editing environment. The author's user page is set up and links to evidence of social contributions. However, there is at least 1 area for improvement.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''CR (Credit)'''
| A competent plan is presented. The plan includes the main ideas and sections necessary for developing a good chapter about the topic. Some aspects of the plan, however, may be missing, limited, or problematic. For example, the headings and structure may be under-developed, the reference list may indicate a lack of depth in investigation of the topic, use of wiki links and/or images could often be improved, and/or user page set-up feedback about other chapters may not have been completed.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''P (Pass)'''
| A basic, sufficient plan is presented, however there may be incomplete coverage of relevant theory and research, and/or a lack of depth or breadth in conceptualising the chapter. The chapter plan covers basic theory and research about the topic, but lacks detail about how the concepts will be brought together to help address the topic. A basic heading structure is presented, but is likely to need more sections and/or improved formatting or organisation. Spelling and grammar problems are often evident. Citation and referencing tends to be missing or limited in scope and quality (e.g., top peer-reviewed citations about the topic haven't been cited). These plans usually have very brief edit histories (e.g., less than 24 hours) and are often noticeably shorter than plans which attract higher grades. Authors often haven't set up an informative user page or provided evidence of engagement with the development of other chapter plans.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''F (Fail)'''
| The plan is insufficient and/or incomplete. Major gaps and/or errors in content are evident. Little evidence of awareness of relevant theory, research, and use of peer-reviewed references. These plans typically have under-developed heading structures and do not illustrate the use of key editing skills. Written expression is often undermined by poor spelling and/or grammar. These plans typically have very brief editing histories (e.g., consist of a few, last minute edits). There is generally no evidence of active engagement with the development of other chapters.

==Grade descriptions==
This section describes typical characteristics of topic developments at each grade level, based on the [[#Marking criteria|marking criteria]].
{| border=1 cellpadding=7 cellspacing=0 style = "background:transparent; width:90%"
! Grade
! Description
|-
| style="width:140px; vertical-align:top;" | '''HD (High Distinction)'''
| A clear, complete, easy to understand plan is presented. Considerable depth and breadth of theoretical and research knowledge of the topic is demonstrated via the scope and detail within the plan. All recommended sections are provided. The development of the plan illustrates that the author has actively engaged in developing skills required for collaborative online writing and editing (e.g., interwiki links are provided for key terms, responses are made to comments on the chapter talk page). There are citations to more than 6 key academic sources with references provided in APA style. The author introduces themself on their Wikiversity user page and summarises and provides directly verifiable evidence of editing another chapter, comment provided on another chapter's talk page, and posting to the discussion forum.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''DI (Distinction)'''
| A very good, understandable plan is presented. The plan includes key relevant theory and research, with relevant references. The material is well organised into sections, with minimal spelling and grammar issues. There is good evidence that the author has developed the capacity to work effectively in the collaborative editing environment. The author's user page is set up and links to evidence of social contributions. However, there is at least 1 area for improvement.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''CR (Credit)'''
| A competent plan is presented. The plan includes the main ideas and sections necessary for developing a good chapter about the topic. Some aspects of the plan, however, may be missing, limited, or problematic. For example, the headings and structure may be under-developed, the reference list may indicate a lack of depth in investigation of the topic, use of wiki links and/or images could often be improved, and/or user page set-up feedback about other chapters may not have been completed.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''P (Pass)'''
| A basic, sufficient plan is presented, however there may be incomplete coverage of relevant theory and research, and/or a lack of depth or breadth in conceptualising the chapter. The chapter plan covers basic theory and research about the topic, but lacks detail about how the concepts will be brought together to help address the topic. A basic heading structure is presented, but is likely to need more sections and/or improved formatting or organisation. Spelling and grammar problems are often evident. Citation and referencing tends to be missing or limited in scope and quality (e.g., top peer-reviewed citations about the topic haven't been cited). These plans usually have very brief edit histories (e.g., less than 24 hours) and are often noticeably shorter than plans which attract higher grades. Authors often haven't set up an informative user page or provided evidence of engagement with the development of other chapter plans.
|-
| style="vertical-align:top;" | '''F (Fail)'''
| The plan is insufficient and/or incomplete. Major gaps and/or errors in content are evident. Little evidence of awareness of relevant theory, research, and use of peer-reviewed references. These plans typically have under-developed heading structures and do not illustrate the use of key editing skills. Written expression is often undermined by poor spelling and/or grammar. These plans typically have very brief editing histories (e.g., consist of a few, last minute edits). There is generally no evidence of active engagement with the development of other chapters.

Why are we using a contraction in an ethics statement?

<noinclude>{{WikiJ top menu}}__NOEDITSECTION__</noinclude>
This is the ethics statement for ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}''. This statement has been adapted from the principles of the [https://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines Committee on Publication Ethics].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://publicationethics.org/files/Code%20of%20Conduct_2.pdf|title=Code of conduct and best practice guidelines for journal editors|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=COPE|archive-url=|archive-date=|accessdate=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://publicationethics.org/files/Code%20of%20conduct%20for%20publishers%20FINAL_1_0_0.pdf|title=Code of conduct and best practice guidelines for publishers|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=COPE|archive-url=|archive-date=|accessdate=}}</ref>{{#ifeq:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|WikiJournal of Medicine
| WikiJournal of Medicine is a member of this ethics organization.}} In addition, the journal follows the [http://www.icmje.org/recommendations ICMJE’s Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals]. This statement covers the code of ethics for the ''editor-in-chief'', ''editorial board members'', ''associate editors'', ''peer reviewers'' and ''authors''. ''Editors'' refer to ''editorial board members'' and ''associate editors''.
Many of the issues are common to all of academic publishing. In addition, the unique Wikipedia-integration features of WikiJournals require specific note: [[#Wiki authorship|large group authorship]], [[#Wiki attribution|attribution]], [[#Wiki ownership|ownership]], [[#Wiki preprint definition|what constitutes a preprint server]], and [[#Wiki dual publication|dual publication]].
==Duties of the authors==
When ''authors'' submit their works they agree to that their content may be kept permanently on a Wikimedia project, and that author requests for removal of their content may not be approved.
{{anchor|Wiki authorship}}
===Author attribution===
Named ''authors'' must have contributed to all of the following aspects of a submitted article, unless otherwise stated in a section of the work that details the contributions of each named author:
# Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND
# Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND
# Final approval of the version to be published; AND
# Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Contributors who do not meet all of these requirements can still be included in the [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/Publishing#Additional_information_section|acknowledgements section]].
The corresponding ''author'' is expected to correspond for the rest of the named ''authors'', including submitting the authorship declaration forms, listing conflicts of interest, etc. The corresponding ''author'' must provide a contact address (or several) at which they can reasonably be contacted for questions pertaining to the works content. This address should have the reasonable expectation of being contactable for the foreseeable future.
If a large amount of material (typically >1 paragraph or >10% of total) is imported from a compatible collaborative platform (e.g. Wikipedia) the author list must include a hyperlink to the full list of contributors (typically as a hyperlinked "''et al''"). For more detail see [[WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Draft_of_ethics_statement#Acknowledgement of sources|Acknowledgement of sources]]. This is considered as a form of "Group authorship" as per the guidelines of the Council of Scientific editors, since they effectively contributed to criteria 1 and 2 of the ICMJE author requirements (above). Contributors listed on such a hyperlinked page do not necessarily need to satisfy criteria 3 and 4.
====Authorship disputes====
Discussions regarding which people to include in the author list of a work, and in which order, should be handled among the contributors and be based on facts.
====Confidentiality====
''Authors'' should be given by real names in their articles, with a contact address for at least one corresponding author. Readers may potentially infer the identity of any pseudonymous username used by ''authors'' when contributing to the article online.
''Authors '' have the option to keep the article and/or their names confidential to the public and ''peer reviewers'' until article publication, by requesting such processing in the authorship declaration form.

===Originality of publication and plagiarism===
The work must not contain plagiarised material of any kind. This includes:
* Unattributed text, images, or data that is copied from any other source
* Unattributed ideas, concepts, or analysis from any other source
* Material that is copied from the ''authors' ''own published works and without attribution or agreement of the editor of that work
Any significant overlap with another paper must be cited in the work. Any copyrighted material included must have the consent of the copyright holder, in addition to being attributed.
Each submission must be checked for possible plagiarism before consideration for inclusion in the journal by the ''editorial board''. The ''peer review coordinator'' of the submission is responsible for carrying out this task.

{{anchor|Wiki dual publication}}
===Duplicate, redundant or concurrent submission and publication===
''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' cannot commit to peer review and publication of a work that has been submitted elsewhere for peer review and publication without explicit written consent from the other publisher. However, where the other publisher agrees, and [http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/publishing-and-editorial-issues/overlapping-publications.html ICMJE] and [https://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts/redundant-duplicate-publication-published-article COPE guidelines] are followed, co-publication in multiple journals can be considered at the ''editor's'' discretion. Appropriate content that is dual-published in the journal and Wikipedia is done so under a creative commons license.

{{anchor|Wiki attribution}}
===Acknowledgement of sources===
Sources of information, ideas, text and images must be acknowledged. Inline citations must be included to previous literature in support of claims made. Original authors must be referenced for any quoted text or images used under a creative commons license. If a material is imported from a compatible collaborative platform (e.g. Wikipedia), attribution depends on the content type:
*Images, videos or other media: Attribution and license type at the end of the [[Template:Fig|figure legend]]
*Text less than 1 paragraph, or 10% of final work: A hyperlink to the full contributor list must be included in the 'Acknowledgements' section
*Text more than 1 paragraph, or 10% of final work: A hyperlink to the full contributor list must be included in the author list (typically as a hyperlinked "''et al''") - For more detail, see [[WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Draft_of_ethics_statement#Duties of the authors|Duties of the authors]]
Cited sources should be from reliable, published sources, preferably peer-reviewed, secondary sources. ''Authors'' should read sources before citing them, and their statements should accurately represent the cited sources.
''Peer reviewers'' and ''editors'' should only recommend references to be added to a work where they are relevant and beneficial to the work, without unduly compelling ''authors'' to cite their own publications, or those from a WikiJournal. {{#ifeq:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|WikiJournal of Medicine
|Medical articles have the additional requirement that clinical statements should ideally reference secondary sources (e.g. review articles) or tertiary sources (e.g. clinical guidelines and meta-analyses). Primary sources should be avoided where possible, in order to avoid unreliable or preliminary information, (e.g. in vitro, or animal results) which don't hold in later clinical trials.

{{anchor|Wiki preprint definition}}
===Preprints and postprints===
''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' permits and encourages ''authors'' to share their works via any preprint servers (including the [[WikiJournal Preprints|WikiJournal Preprint]] server) before, during and after submission to the journal. Similarly material previously published under a compatible license is admissible (see the [[#Copyright_and_licensing|Copyright and licensing section]]). For these purposes, Wikipedia is considered a preprint server, and content first posted in Wikipedia can be used in submissions.
''Authors'' may also share postprints of their works on any service (in any manner compatible with the license).
''Authors'' are recommended to ensure that preprints and postprints clearly link back to the version as published in ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}''. WikiJournal works can likewise link to preprints hosted elsewhere.
====WikiJournal preprints server====
Preprints (works in preparation and those not yet accepted for ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'') must be clearly marked as such. Peer review is required before a work is considered for accepted into the journal by the ''editorial board''. Peer review is defined as obtaining advice on individual works from reviewers expert in the field who are not part of the journal’s editorial staff. This process is described at [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/Peer reviewers]].
===Human research and cases===
When a study involves the use human subjects (e.g. patients, research subjects, questionnaire participants), the 'Methods/Experimental' section of the submitted work must state whether experiments were performed in compliance with the relevant laws and institutional guidelines, and which institutional ethics committee(s) approved the experiments.
====Informed consent====
Journal participants must ensure that proper consent for publication has been obtained from individuals who are reported on in a submitted work, or from a proxy thereof. This includes case details{{#ifeq:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|WikiJournal of Medicine| or patient images}}. The individual(s) being reported on should be aware of the possible consequences of that reporting. For case studies, and in any work where a study subject may be identified, ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' requires ''authors'' to assert that a written informed consent was received. The ''author'' must specify whether or not the subject or proxy has seen the final version the details to be published (including pictures). If a final version has not been shown, the ''author'' should specify what the study subject or proxy has seen and that he or she has agreed to include in the publication. This requirement also applies when a report involves deceased persons. Journal participants do not themselves collect the signed consent forms routinely, but it should be kept by the ''author'', and may need to be shown at a later time in case of suspected scientific misconduct. The consent form must include:
*Specifics about what material will be published.
*An agreement to the online publication of the material.
*Place for the name as well as for the signature of the subject.
*Revocation rights: Information to the subject that she/he may revoke the consent at any time. The signer should receive contact information to the person who has explained and administered the form. Before a work is published, a revoked consent must result in the removal of subject details from the submitted work. After work publication, removal of subject details may not be possible, but consideration should be made to minimize the amount of subject details.
The wording of the form should make it clear that, even with the best efforts at keeping confidentiality, anonymity cannot be guaranteed. There is a risk that the patient may be identified by someone, somewhere, once the work is published.
Additional information should be included in certain cases:
*For patients, the form should indicate that signing it does not remove their rights to privacy.
*Hazards: A statement of [[Wikipedia:Regulatory compliance|regulatory compliance]] is required if the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use.
*If the study subject is not the signer, the relationship of the signer (i.e., the proxy) to the subject must be included. The form should include a statement to indicate that the individual or group does not have legal, mental, or physical capacity to consent, and the reason why. Examples include underage children, persons with cognitive or intellectual disabilities, or deceased persons.
*If one person is signing for a family or other group, that person should attest that all relevant members of the family or group have been informed.
*If there is a compensation or any form of financial benefit to the subject, the nature thereof should be clearly stated on the form. Preferably, study subjects should not expect to derive any financial benefit from publication of the case.

===Animal research===
When a study involves the use of live animals, the 'Methods/Experimental' section of the submitted work must state whether experiments were performed in compliance with the relevant laws and institutional guidelines, and which institutional ethics committee(s) approved the experiments. Furthermore, no papers will be accepted where animal experimentation has been used when alternative methods were available, and the aim of the research must be directly related to some potential benefit to humans or animals. The ''editorial board'' may ask ''peer reviewers'' to specifically comment on cases of concern.

===Errors in published works===
Trivial errors in published works, such as spelling or formatting errors, may be corrected by anyone even after publication. It is preferable that the ''authors'' are informed about changes to their articles, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the ''authors'' to keep track of such changes, such as by adding their articles to their [[Help:Watchlist|watchlists]].
Significant errors that affect the meaning of the work may require the paper to be corrected and re-checked by peer review, or retracted. If an ''author'' discovers an error or inaccuracy in their published work, they are obliged to inform the ''editors''. Similarly, when an ''editor'' is informed of a significant error in a published paper from the ''author'' or a third party, they must inform the ''author'' that the error must be corrected, explained, or the paper retracted.
===Other unacceptable submitted content===
In addition to plagiarised material, ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' cannot accept submission of material that contains:
*Breaches of copyright
*Data or images that have been forged, manipulated, adjusted or misrepresented in any way that may mislead a reader
*Knowingly falsified information
*Libellous content
==Duties of the peer reviewers==
Potential ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/Peer_reviewers|peer reviewers]]'' should provide the [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/Editors#Coordinator|peer review coordinator]] or corresponding ''editorial board member'' with personal and professional information that is accurate and a true representation of their expertise. ''Peer reviewers'' should only agree to review submissions for which they have the subject expertise required to make a proper assessment, and for which they can review in a timely manner. ''Peer reviewers'' should not use information obtained during the peer review process for their own or any other person's or organization’s advantage, nor should they use it to disadvantage or discredit others. ''Peer reviewers'' should declare all potential conflicting interests, and should seek advice from the peer ''review coordinator'' or the ''editorial board'' if they are unsure whether something constitutes a relevant conflict of interest. ''Peer reviewers'' should not allow their reviews to be influenced by the origins of a submission, by the nationality, religious or political beliefs, gender or other characteristics of the ''authors'', or by commercial considerations.
===Assessment aspects===
{{#switch:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|WikiJournal of Medicine|WikiJournal of Science = When processing submissions to the journal, the guidelines for ''peer reviewers'' for research works includes the following ethical aspects:
*Is consent from study participants commented?
*Have risks of harm for participants been minimized?
*Is there appropriate protection of research subjects, including animals?
*Was there approval by an ethics committee or [[w:Institutional review board|institutional review board]]?
:*If not, is there an adequate explanation whether this was done or not?}}
The reviews should be objective and constructive, with avoidance of hostile, libellous or derogatory personal comments.
A ''peer reviewer'' who suspects research misconduct should notify the ''peer review coordinator'' or the ''editorial board'' about this issue, and present all given evidence. Subsequently, the ''peer reviewer'' should not personally perform an investigation unless the journal asks for additional information or advice.
===Confidentiality===
''Peer reviewers'' must keep the confidentiality of works and ''author'' identities unless permission has been granted to disclose such material or information. ''Peer reviewers'' must not retain confidential works for their personal use.
''Peer reviewers'' have the option to keep their names confidential to the public and authors by requesting such processing in the peer review submission form.
=== Public peer review ===
''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' uses a public peer review process. ''Peer reviewers' ''comments and ''author'' responses are published alongside the work under an open access license. The version of the work at the time of review is also indicated. Optionally, if the reviewer explicitly chooses to waive their confidentiality, their name is included on the peer review reports (open peer review).

==Duties of the editorial board==
''Editorial board members'' should have a set of talents, experience, and competencies that will best fulfill the needs of the ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}''. The full names and affiliations of the ''editorial board members'' should be displayed online.
===Confidentiality===
''Editorial board members'' must keep the confidentiality of works, ''author'' or ''peer reviewer'' identities, or other privileged information unless permission has been granted to disclose such material or information. ''Editorial board members'' must not retain confidential works or information for their personal use.
===Scientific misconduct===
Scientific misconduct is defined as intention or gross negligence leading to fabrication of the scientific message or a false credit or emphasis given to a scientist. The ''editorial board members'' should inform institutions if they suspect misconduct by their researchers, and provide evidence to support these concerns, such as analysis of text similarity in cases of suspected plagiarism, or evidence of inappropriate image manipulation. They should cooperate with investigations and respond to institutions’ questions about misconduct allegations. They should be prepared to issue retractions or corrections when provided with findings of misconduct arising from investigations. They should correct or retract findings that are invalid or unreliable, both when caused by misconduct and by honest errors. Publications should be retracted if they are evidenced to be generally unreliable, while on the other hand a correction should be made in cases where only a small part of the publication is affected while the majority of findings and conclusions are valid.
''Editorial board members'' should investigate allegations of misconduct targeted at ''peer reviewers'' of the journal. However, ''editorial board members'' may be obliged to protect the identity of whistleblowers.
In cases of scientific misconduct involving several journals, these journals should cooperate and share information as required to resolve the issues.
''Editorial board members'' should keep communications relating to ongoing misconduct investigations confidential between parties.
====Expression of concern====
An ''Expression of Concern'' may be used to inform readers about serious allegations likely to affect the reliability or integrity of a work. ''Expressions of Concern'' should not be viewed as ‘milder’ versions of retractions. The ''editorial board'' should consider issuing an ''Expression of Concern'' if:
* There is inconclusive evidence scientific misconduct by the ''authors''
* There is evidence that the findings are unreliable, but there is no institution or entity available to properly investigate the case
* There is reason to believe that an investigation into alleged misconduct either has not been, or would not be, fair and impartial or conclusive
* An investigation is underway but a decision thereof will not be available for a considerable time
====Correction====
The ''editorial board'' should consider issuing a correction if:
* A small portion of an otherwise reliable publication is evidenced to be misleading, particularly if it appears to be an honest error such as a methodological error or a miscalculation
* The author list is incorrect. For example, a deserving ''author'' may have been omitted or somebody who does not meet authorship criteria may have been included
====Retraction====
The ''editorial board'' should consider retracting a publication if:
* There is clear evidence that the findings are unreliable, either as a result of honest error or scientific misconduct such as data fabrication
* The findings have previously been published elsewhere without proper permission or justification for publication in ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' as well
* It contains plagiarism
* It reports unethical research
Retractions are not usually appropriate in cases where the authorship needs to be changed but there is no reason to doubt the validity of the findings.
A retraction statement must be added in each retraced work. A retraction statements should:
*Be clearly identifiable as a retraction statement, including having a title starting "Retraction statement"
*Include the reasons for the retraction
*Distinguish between cases of misconduct and honest error to encourage researchers to report errors when they occur and ensure no stigma is attached to this.
*Be linked to the retracted work and be open access
*Clearly identify which work it refers to, by at least title and authors
*Be published promptly after the retraction decision
*State that the ''editorial board'' has made the retraction decision
If a retraction is due to the actions of only some of the ''authors'', the statement should mention this. However, authorship entails some degree of joint responsibility for the entire work, so the author list of a work should not change after retraction.
A retraction statement may undergo amendments by consensus of the ''editorial board''.

==Duties of the associate editors==
The full names and affiliations of the ''associate editors'' should be displayed online.
In case of transfer of the ''peer review coordinator'' task to another person for a particular submission, there should be a handover period with the new and old coordinator working together. The duration of this period should be established in agreement with the ''editorial board''. Acceptance decisions of the previous ''editor'' should not be overturned unless there are substantial issues such as plagiarism or data fabrication.
===Confidentiality===
''Associate editors'' must keep the confidentiality of works, ''author'' or ''peer reviewer'' identities, or other privileged information unless permission has been granted to disclose such material or information. ''Associate editors'' must not retain such works for their personal use.
===Scientific misconduct===
In case of suspected scientific misconduct, ''associate editors'' should inform the ''editor-in-chief'' or an ''editorial board member''. Unless advised otherwise by the ''editorial board'', the next step for the editor is to seek a response from those suspected of misconduct. If they are not satisfied with the response, they should ask the relevant employers or institution to investigate. When available, it is generally the responsibility of the relevant employers or institution to investigate those suspected of misconduct, and to potentially discipline them and take measures to prevent further misconduct.

==Duties of the editor-in-chief==
The ''editor-in-chief'' has final responsibilities for the operations and policies of the journal. Contact details of the ''editor-in-chief'' should be stated online. The ''editor-in-chief'' should act as the point of contact for
questions relating to research and publication ethics. The ''editor-in-chief'' should acknowledge receipt of communications from institutions and should promptly bring the matter to the ''editorial board'' for action. The ''editor-in-chief'' should keep the public informed about any changes in the aims and scope of the journal.
The ''editor-in-chief'' should not disclose confidential details about work submissions with ''editor-in-chiefs'' of other journals, unless the following requirements are fulfilled:
*Such sharing is a necessary part of fulfilling the obligation to prevent and respond to suspected research misconduct
*The ''authors'' of the work have been informed about the issue at hand, and have not given a response, or the response was not satisfactory
*The disclosure is limited to journals which are suspected of having been targeted by the research misconduct at hand, or are believed to have pertinent information of the case at hand.
*The recipient ''editor-in-chief'' is notified about the sensitive nature of the information.
The amount of disclosed information should be limited to the minimum required. The shared information should be factual, while avoiding conjecture and speculation.

== Duties of the publisher ==
The ''publisher'' of ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' is [[Meta:WikiJournal User Group|WikiJournal User Group]]. Both the ''editorial board'' and the ''associate editors'' are part of the publisher.
===Publication decisions===
The ''publisher'' is responsible for identifying and preventing the publication of works involving scientific misconduct such as plagiarism, citation manipulation, and data falsification/fabrication
===Handling of unethical publishing behavior===
===Data retention policy===
All previous versions are stored and are readily available through the ''View history'' tabs of each work. Additionally, the version of the work as initially submitted for peer review is specifically highlighted. The journal is also archived on several external sites<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://dumps.wikimedia.org/mirrors.html|title=Mirrors|last=|first=|date=|website=dumps.wikimedia.org|archive-url=|archive-date=|accessdate=}}</ref> [https://dumps.wikimedia.org/mirrors.html].
===Marketing===
Any direct marketing activities, including solicitation of works that are conducted on behalf of the publisher or journal, shall be appropriate, well targeted, and unobtrusive.
===Copyright and licensing===
All ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' publications are open access. They are by default published under a [[creativecommons:by/4.0/|Creative Commons Attribution License]] (CC BY), however other compatible OA licences can be requested by ''authors''. ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' works meet or exceed all funder and institutional requirements for being considered Open Access. The licensing of a work must be displayed among the details on the same online page and PDF document.
====Copyright for authors====
For all publications, ''authors'' retain copyright (but allow sharing and reuse as per the license).
====Sharing====
In accordance with the specific license used, the work's content can be shared, copied, distributed, transmitted, adapted and used without needing to provide additional permission, provided appropriate attribution is made to the original author or source.
====Permissions====
For any material within a work that is not available under a compatible license, ''authors'' must gain written consent from the copyright holder(s).
;Further reading
* [[:w:Wikipedia:Compatible license|''Compatible licenses'']] at Wikipedia
====Research data====
Data and factual information are ''not'' protected by copyright, and considered to be public domain once published. Additionally, simple representations and visualisations of data (e.g. tables and barcharts) are typically not creative enough to be eligible for copyright protection. As such, these types of material may be freely reused, adapted and mined without permission.
{{anchor|Wiki ownership}}
=== Ownership of Wikipedia-integrated content ===
For published works that are integrated into Wikipedia under a creative commons license, the ''publisher'', ''authors'', and ''editors'' retain no special rights above the rest of the Wikimedia community. The ''authors'' of works may update the relevant Wikipedia pages (and are encouraged to do so) in the same manner as anyone else, within Wikipedia's [[foundation:Terms of Use|terms of use]].
;Further reading
* [[w:Wikipedia:Ownership of content|''Ownership of content'']], by Wikipedia
===Fees===
''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' has no publication fees of any kind for ''authors'', and no fees for accessing published works. The revenue source for the journal is by donations to the [[foundation:Home|Wikimedia Foundation]]. The journal does not display paid advertisements.
== Code of conduct ==
=== Disclosure and Conflict of Interest ===
All parties involved in a publication (including ''authors'', ''reviewers'' and ''editors'') are required to declare any potential or perceived Conflicts of Interest (COI). Such a disclosure is vital for maintaining transparency, but does not preclude the party from performing their role. Rather, the aim is to ensure that all parties and future readers are informed of relevant information. For example:
*Material or financial gain relating to the work's content
*Material or financial gain relating to the work's publication
*Patent activity related to, or potentially related to, the work's content
*Prior relationships (professional or personal) between people of different roles (''authors'', ''reviewers'' and ''editors'') for a submission
*Personal convictions which may influence the work's contents
Authors should declare any conflicts of interest in the 'Additional Information' section at the end of their work. COI declarations should be made by ''authors'' at the point of submission for peer review, by reviewers when they agreeing to perform the peer review, and by ''editors'' if handling the submission. An ''editor'' with a significant COI for a particular work should recuse themselves from publication decisions on that work.
Direct funding sources that supported the work should be listed in the work's 'Acknowledgements' section (e.g. grants, fellowships, corporate, institutional or private funding).
=== Professionalism ===
''Editors'', ''reviewers'', ''readers'' and ''publishers'' have the right to assume that submitted (and published) works do not contain scientific dishonesty and/or fraud comprising among others fictitious or manipulated data, plagiarised material (either from the previous work of the ''authors'' or that of other persons), reference omissions, false priority statements, 'hidden' multiple publication of the same data and incorrect authorship. ''Authors'' must not breach any copyright.
When reproducing figures and/or schemes from previous publications, it is the ''author's ''responsibility to seek appropriate permission from the relevant publishers.
===Harassment and discrimination===
All participants are expected to be able to contribute to ''{{ROOTPAGENAME}}'' activities and processes free from harassment or discrimination. Harassment of any kind undermines the ability of members to freely express and exchange ideas and is considered a form of misconduct. All participants are expected to act in a manner that does not discriminate against or disenfranchise any member on the basis of their personal characteristics (e.g. race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, age, appearance, or disability).
Editors should treat their colleagues with respect and avoid harassment of any kind (sexual or otherwise), victimisation, or bullying. Differences of opinion should be handled in a polite, professional, and constructive manner. Conflicts should be resolved by avoiding aggression or escalation.

== Contact and dispute resolution ==
Breaches of policy should be reported to the [[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}/Contact|journal's Editor in Chief]]. Those thought to have breached policy will be given opportunity to respond, and arbitration may be recommended. Those found to have performed serious violations of the policies outlined in this ethics statement will be subject to disciplinary action including but not limited to manuscript rejection or retraction, expulsion of editorial members, blocking from further contribution to the journals, or reporting to relevant authorities. Exceptional cases may be [https://publicationethics.org/cases submitted to COPE] for further comment.

Abstract: For solving complex robotics problems, every planner needs a heuristic to speed up the search process in the game tree. One possibility to formalize domain knowledge is a qualitative physics engine which has different layers. A random generator produces a plan, which is tested against the naive physics engine and the resulting score is used to determine if the plan is valid or not. Such a problem solving technique is an important part of a cognitive architecture which is known as BDI-agent framework.
}}
== Introduction ==
=== Game-engine which stores Domain specific knowledge ===
One of the biggest challenges in Artificial Intelligence is to store domain specific knowledge in a machine readable form. In the literature, many concepts are discussed for example ontologies or semantic networks. Sure, they are machine-readable, in a form that the ontology is a owl-file, which can be parsed automatically, the problem is that the practical usage of hierarchical data are not very high. Because, how exactly can a mind map be used for controlling a robot-agent? Right, it is unsolved yet.
A more elaborated form of knowledge storage is to accept only a symbolic game-engine as a knowledge container. A game-engine is per definition a piece of software which can predict the future. For example, if we are sending the command “move-left” to the game-engine, the system will update the internal state of the player, e.g. with “newpos = {x-10,y}”. From a formal perspective a game-engine is programmed in computer code, for example in C. But from a usage scenario a game-engine can be utilized as a prediction machine. That means, for any game-engine the game-tree can be generated, and this is the pathway to Artificial Intelligence. If we can sample a system with a brute-force solver it is possible to solve the game, that means to generate a plan which fulfills certain conditions.
Let us investigate how modern sampling planner are working. RRT and other graph-based sampler are using an existing game-engine (called action model) for testing out random moves. They can do so, because the game-engine contains a list of allowed moves, and the game-engine calculates what the follow state will be. Or to make the point more clear. If we do not have a game-engine, we can not generate the game-tree and we can not generate the optimal path through it.
Machine readable knowledge is equal to construct a game-engine. That is the only option we have. We can discuss in detail how the game engine can be programmed for example in the Game description language <ref name="bjornsson2009cadiaplayer" />, in PDDL, in plain C or in object-oriented C++, but in any case we need some kind of prediction ready game-engine. Such a system stores the knowledge about the system. Knowledge in a form, that we define which motion primitives are possible and what they will change, after executing them.
==== Grounding ====
In most papers about cognitive architectures the term grounding is introduced for connecting the agent actions with the real world. The idea behind grounding is, that the agent has a synthetic memory (episodic memory) in which he is able to describe the world. This description is not totally wrong, but it ignores the engineering aspect for generating such an “episodic memory”. From the game-programming / C++ perspective there is no software module available called episodic memory or grounded perception. The only tool what software-engineers can implement is a game-engine. The engine has the same obligation, to map actions, perception and environment. But the term has nothing to do with psychology but with game-development. <ref name="lugrin2007making" />
Let us go back to the example with the “move-left” command. If we want to ground the action, we need a new C-function in the form “if (input==”move-left”) do something”. Do something means, to change an internal variable for example “newpos = {x-10,y}”. The action is grounded because we have connected a natural language input “move-left” with C-function in the source code. I would guess, that it is enough to program a layered game-engine; a different kind of grounding module is not needed.
The term “game engine” is a bit uncommon for classical Artificial Intelligence research, because it has nothing to do with psychology science or neural networks in real animals. Also, it is not a mathematical model, so there is the suspicion that a “Game engine” is not scientific at all. And yes, the term is used by engineers not by Academia. They want to implement executable code on real computers. They are not interested in philosophical debates about thinking machines or perception in the human brain.
==== Game Engine ====
A game engine is usually used for rendering the graphic and evaluate the user input. The same technique can be used in the context of AI. An early example is the GOAP paradigm which is grouped around a game-engine. The game-engine evaluates a plan and gives a score back. A more sophisticated example are HTN-planners which have as a core a pddl file which acts similar to a game engine. But it is even possible to model story based games with an engine. This is used by text adventures and the engine can be used similar to a HTN-planner: for figuring out what the best plan through the game is.
=== Knowledge engineering with natural language ===
About AI planning itself, there is a huge amount of literature available. From the early beginning with the STRIPS planning system in the 1970s, over later developed pddl like HTN-planners upto modern game-oriented GOAP planning goes the history. A sub problem in AI planning is until now open: how does the action model look like for a certain domain? For example, we want to play Robocup and need the domain model in a pddl description.
How the path may be look like to develop machine readable knowledge from scratch is discussed under the term GIVE challenge (“Generating Instructions in Virtual Environments”).<ref name="give2012" /> That is not directly an algorithm, but a programming challenge which is grouped around ready-to-run domain knowledge. For all, who are not aware with the original challenge, here the idea in short. The aim is not to guide a robot through a maze but a human. The software generates the output in natural language and the human must act. From the AI history the setup is called decision support system, because the computer only give help to the human but not decides for him. The advantage from the programmer perspective is, that such a system is easier to implement then a full-blown robot control system. A second interesting part is that the output is in natural language.
How the challenge can be solved is not very complicated. At first, a pddl domain description is used, then the current situation of the game is read, and a planner is used for producing the next step for the human. The planner can be based on STRIPS, PDDL, HTN or GOAP. He generates the plan, for example “open door”, “walk left”, “push button”. How the human is executing the plan is on his side. The feedback for the AI is only the situation in the game itself. That means, the software has the tasks:
* track the actions
* plan future actions
* with the help of an internal model
The GIVE challenge doesn't only generate natural language, but it is a subgoal generator. The idea is not to control a robot with low-level commands, instead the goal is to planning part-goals, for example “open door” and similar actions.
== Cognitive architecture ==
=== Agent oriented programming ===
Object-oriented programming is the classical paradigm: a method contains commands in a linear fashion. The actions are executed from top to bottom. If another program flow is needed, the programmer has to modify the source code. In contrast: agent-oriented programs are using a layer who is controlling the program flow. The layer is called blackboard and is some kind of note-area to rearranging commands. For example, the first draft contains the following commands:
print, if-then, print
After a modification by an agent, the new program flow is maybe:
if-then, print, goto
In early years this technique was called self-modifying programs, because in the software is another software which is created from scratch at run-time, called the agent-plan. Agent-oriented programming is not using a fixed program flow, created by the programmer, instead the Artificial Intelligence creates the program flow for the need of a problem. If the plan is ready, it will be executed by the interpreter. The amount of modules and subroutines to realize such behavior is called an agent-framework. It is based on object-oriented programming but has new features.
=== Understanding SOAR and ACT-R ===
It is widely known, that cognitive architectures are simulating the human process of thinking. But this is a bad introduction for explaining the principle to beginners who are not familiar with Artificial Intelligence. The better approach is to understand a cognitive architecture as a "hierarchical task network". This term is used in the gaming industry in the domain of GOAP (Goal oriented action planning) and means not to create a behavior tree, but to implement a symbolic game engine. The game engine is used to testing out plans and scoring them.
SOAR is an advanced form of a HTN-network. It is basically a hierarchical planner, on the lowest level there are actions, and above the actions are tasks. They are planned hierarchical. Additionally, SOAR has some agent-like features, for example a semantic memory and a blackboard. This is used for evaluating plans.<ref name="wray2005introduction" />
It is true, that SOAR was programmed in LISP, but LISP is not the best programming language for implement an AI system. It makes sense to start with a mainstream language, for example C/C++. It is a mainstream language, because C/C++ can be used for any kind for software development tasks, from hardware drivers, over desktop-application up to Artificial intelligence. Instead, LISP is only used for AI problems and compiler-compiler which makes it's harder to understand. The bottom up approach for teaching cognitive architecture is first to implement a simple HTN-planner in C++, and extends this later into a cognitive architecture which has agents and deep.-learning features.
Let us explain the core idea behind HTN-planning, because this results into Artificial Intelligence. On the lowest level, an AI is a planner. An easy to understand example is a path-planner like A* and RRT. At first, random movements are created, and each of the nodes is evaluated with a score. The node with the highest score is executed by the AI. Such a core-feature can be written down in two simple lines of code:
for trial
calculate score for node
The algorithm runs in a for loop and on each iteration he is evaluating the score. Sure, this simple pseudo-code isn't able to control any robot, but it makes it easier to understand what AI is. SOAR, HTN-planners and agent-architecture are about the details of how to implement such a for-loop. The reason, why the term cognitive architecture is used has to do with the importance of natural language for domain modeling. Classical path-planning works not with language, but with numbers. For example, with the distance from point A to B. The problem is, that with numbers alone is not possible to implement complex domain models. And without a domain model the planner can not search for a node.
The bottleneck in HTN-planning as well in SOAR is to create complex domain models for games. A domain model is usually a mini-game which has possible actions and an outcome after executing it. All agent architecture have such mini-games in the sleeve. In the literature there are some examples given of how to store a domain model: PDDL, Game description language or ontologies. The holy grail of AI is to generate a domain model on-the-fly. That means, the agent plays a new game, creates the domain model in GDL, and this is used by SOAR to plan the next actions.
=== AGI is a testbed for Narrow AI ===
A look backwards in the history of AI is often done with the explanation what the difference between Artificial General Intelligence and Narrow AI is. But perhaps the difference is only artificial? Perhaps both are the same? Let us investigate how the robocup robotics challenge work. It contains of two types of software. At first a testbed, which is able to evaluate which of the teams has won, and secondly the agent itself, which is able to play the game. This distinction makes also sense for other domains, for example chess playing, Micromouse and a line following robot. In any case, two types of software is used: one which has the function to act like a turing-test, and the second which is the core AI.
Without any doubt, the second part (the AI) is called in the literature a narrow AI. For example, if somebody has programmed in C++ and with ABL a robocup AI who is able to kick the ball, then this agent can be called intelligent, or at least it es equal to Narrow AI. That means, the software is able to solve a certain problem. On the other hand, the problem which is equal to play robocup has to be monitored by a different type of software. It is uncommon in the literature, to call this part of the overall setup an Artificial General Intelligence, but it would make sense.
From a programming point of view, the evaluation software is called a testbed. It is software which was programmed to run other software inside. For example, the Robocode challenge contains the robocode testbed itself (which was programmed in Java) and the agents which can be executed inside Robocode. The same is true for the famous Mario AI challenge. It contains of the Super Mario Game itself, and possible agents who can be run inside the environment.
The hypothesis is, that early so called Artificial General Intelligence projects like SOAR and the General problem solver, were never invented as a Narrow AI. That means, SOAR is not able to control a robot or play a game. Instead, SOAR is a testbed and can be used in a robotics challenge in which the teams have the task to program the narrow AI.<ref name="arrabales2009cera" />
==== Robo-soar ====
For the software “robo-soar” in a paper was described, that this tool acts mainly as a testbed.<ref name="laird1991robo" /> Soar is explained as a integrated AI framework, and on page 5 the general setup is shown. It is mainly a robotarm, which can pick&place objects and also a human-operator is in the loop. The interesting information is, that SOAR is not the agent for controlling the robotarm (a so called weak artificial intelligence), but SOAR is the overall framework. The modern description would be, that it is the software to monitor a robotics challenge. A program which can say, which participant in the competition has written the best agent-software.
But there is in the above cited paper something else which is interesting, in the 17 pages long paper there is no heuristics or sourcecode given how to solve the problem. The problem was to pick&place objects with the robotarm. A possible solution would be to program an agent in C or LISP which is planning some actions. But, this strategy is not part of the paper. The paper is only about the competition itself, that means it describes in detail what the task is, not how to program the ai-agent.
The same approach is visible in a more recent paper, which was published by the same author in year 2000. The first sentence in the abstract explains very well what the aim is:
“We are creating an environment in which to investigate the role of advanced AI in computer games. [...] In this paper we describe our test bed for pursuing research in developing human-level AI characters within computer games.” <ref name="laird2000test" />
The goal is not to program an AI which is able to play the game autonomously, instead the aim is to program a robocode like environment and to delegate the programming of the AI to participants of the competition.
== Implementation ==
=== GOAP Planning ===
If HTN-planning is the academic term, GOAP is the realization in a computer game. Goal and action planning means usually a hierarchical planning system for an Artificial Intelligence. But what exactly is planning? Geometric planning is the search for a path in a maze around the obstacles, while HTN-planning has to do with a trajectory in a symbolic maze.<ref name="porteous2009controlling" /> This maze can't be visualized with x/y coordinates but can be described with tasks and subtasks. If the action gets executed the agent is doing something in a computergame, for example he walks to the door and opens it.
What a HTN-planner is doing is to describe the domain with symbolic constraints. They are similar to obstacles in a 2d space, but they are defined with abstract descriptions for example the goal “search for the key” is an obstacle. It is something which can be fulfilled or not and which is used by the planner to generate actions. Because of the abstract nature of HTN-planners i would call these system natural language evaluation systems. Because the action space is defined by English vocabulary and the plan is also a sequence of action-words.
What the programmer of a GOAP system is doing, is to formulate the domain with abstract obstacle. He is building a map in which the planner is searching for a trajectory. A trajectory means usually a plan which is a sequence of actions. A HTN-planner is able to evaluate a plan, he can score a given plan and search for a better one.
=== Inner working of a sampling based HTN-planner ===
What a HTN-planning system is doing on a theoretical level is well known. It plans something according to an domain model. But how can we implement this into software? The first step is to define a hierarchy of actions. There are some textual commands which can be send to the layered simulator:
* layer0: keyboard left, keyboard right, keyboard up, keyboard down
* layer1: walk left, jump over box, jump against block
* layer2: walk to point a, walk to princess, get key
According to the names, this is an example of a side scrolling game in which the player has some problems to solve. On the lowest level the game can be controlled with the arrow keys only, additional there are more layers which are expressing the semantics of a move. The game can be played on all the layers. Either the player can use the arrow keys, or he can enter high-level commands which brings the game-engine directly to the goal state. For example if he enters the command “get the key”, he has without further problems simply the key in his inventory. This bypass all the details which are usually be necessary to get the key, it is some kind of trainer mode.
The planner works in a way, that random actions are send against all layers of the game-engine to see what will happen. If only the lowest layer is selected it will take a long time because the state space is high. If the planner is using all layers, the game will solved much faster. I want to a give a example. According to the random generator the following actions are selected:
“get key”, “jump over box”, “keyboard left”, “walk left”
That means, we have run the random generator 4 times and these are the random commands. How can we execute the commands against the game engine? Execution of the lowlevel command on layer0 “keyboard left” is easy, we are sending simply the command to the game engine and see what will happen. It is a normal search in the game tree. Executing a mid-level action like “walk left” is a bit harder. According to the table, this command is from layer1, that means it can't be executed directly. The original game has no command with such a name. Instead the command is a subgoal and the planner is forced to solve on the level below. That means, he is sending keyboard commands to the engine, until the player “walks left”.
In general the inner working is equal to a HTN-planning system. We have lowlevel and high-level actions and must generate partial order plans to satisfy certain conditions. Only commands on the lowest layer can be executed directly, the other commands are only symbolic goals, which guides the search procedure.
Usually HTN-planning system are implemented in agents. The agent has an abstract plan and a blackboard <ref name="rudenko2007overview" /> and he generates for the plan the lowlevel actions to execute them against the game engine. If some plans are failing during runtime, the agent detects the problem and replans.
==== BDI agent ====
If a HTN-planner is able to solve a game, what is the purpose of an BDI agent? The idea is to layer the overall system into submodules: the game itself, ontop a hierarchical simulator, then a HTN-planner and on top of all the BDI-agent. The BDI agent is only the upper way to communicate with the overall system. It is implemented in a C++ class, which has commands like “start-agent”, “show plan”. The class also have a solver integrated, which is based on the module defined on a lower levels. The solver for example is using a HTN-planner for generating a new plan. But additionally to planning, the BDI agent has some other features, for example to search for new goals.
{{fig|1
|align=right
|Artificial-intelligence-BDI-agent-framework.png
|Artificial intelligence, BDI agent framework}}
Sometimes a BDI-agent framework is associated with a concrete programming language for example Agentspeak. But it is not a piece of software, it is a software-engineering technique like object-oriented programming. It is a certain way to structure the sourcecode. That means, a BDI agent can be programmed in normal C++ without the need of inventing a new programming language for Artificial Intelligence. In the easiest form a BDI-agent is a class inside of a robot-control-system which has high-level-methods like “start”, “Stop”, “ask for a goal”, “plan”. Usually, it is interacting directly with the GUI. That means, the BDI agent is a high-level description of the Artificial Intelligence. The user starts the program code with “./a.out”, and then he sees a GUI, and in the gui he can enter the goals and sees the plans of the agent to reach the goals.
A BDI-agent is doing the same like a HTN-planner or a layered game-engine. The idea is to play a game autonomously. The difference is, that such a piece of software is very complex and one of the submodule is called BDI-agent.
=== Programming a HTN-planner ===
The most demanding task in HTN-planning is not the solver itself. This is in most cases a simple brute-force search algorithm which takes the hierarchical domain model and searches in the graph. No, the bottleneck is to create the hierarchical task network, which is equal to a domain model. Let us go into the details to recognize potential pitfalls. Suppose, we have a game like Mario AI. The interaction works in a way, that the user is pressing the left/right arrow and navigates Mario through the level. So every game has to do with pressing keys: left and right.
The sad news is, that this description is correct but there is missing some important detail. Mario AI is more then only pressing left and right, Mario AI has to do with jumping over a wall, finding the princess and avoid the enemies. Describing a game as a hierarchical task network has to do with finding out the inner working of the game, known as the semantic description. This inner working differs from game to game: a car racing game has a different meaning then a real time strategy game. A HTN-network is about the inner working, it divides the overall control task into modules.
The general idea is to transform a monolithic game into smaller subgames which can be solved on an abstract level. The aim is to increase the interaction level into the direction of natural language. What the user of Mario AI want's is no longer pressing left/right keys, he want's to enter “jump over wall”, “avoid enemy”, “jump with trajectory #2”. The only problem is, that these kinds of commands are not available in the original game, they have to be invented from scratch. It is like designing a new game, which wasn't there before.
So the logical question is: how does the new abstract game will look like? This depends heavily from the domain. The subgames of a racing game have to do with car physics, racing and trajectories for curve ride. The subgames in a RTS-game have to do with build order, long term strategy and position of units on the map. The more general term for describing the subgames is “Domain knowledge”. Domain knowledge is something which is important to win a game and this has to be transferred into an abstract subgame inside the original game.
There is an important reason why domain knowledge has to be formulated as a subgame. Because this is the only way to evaluate the knowledge and search for a plan. A newly invented game engine is the perfect choice for predicting future states of the game, and this is the fundamental idea behind a HTN-planner. What a htn-planner is doing, is using one of the actions from a layer and testing out a move, then he scores the result. That means, the HTN-planner is utilizing a subgame for predicting the future.
The usual idea in the literature is to find the subgames automatically by genetic programming or neural networks. This attempts fails. A game engine for real purposes has to be created by hand, that means inside a software-engineering process. Domain modeling is nothing which can be done automatically, it is mainly a task for the programmer. He has to define, how the HTN-network will look like, what possible high-level-commands are there and what the scoring value of an outcome is. The programming task is similar to programming any other game. Usually the programmer has to implement the game rules in many edit-compile-run iterations until the game works. Or to make the point clear: if manual C++ programming in an IDE together with git and some question on stackoverflow are the only option to program a Mario game from scratch, then the more demanding task of programming a subgame inside Mario AI for predicting the jumping behavior is also a manual task. The infrastructure for building a HTN-network can be described with:
* object oriented programming language like C++
* a bugtracker for note down the issues
* an online forum for asking other programmer for help
* some examples from the past written down in sourcecode and academic papers
* a git-like version control system to modify the sourcecode
I want to elaborate the overall process for developing subgames for a HTN-planner. What the programmer usually has, is the monolithic game and a walkthrough tutorial in natural language. What he doesn't have is machine readable domain knowledge. The task is to convert the instruction manual written in English into subgames which can be run by the HTN-planner for solving the game. The result will look like a layered physics engine written from scratch. It works from the outside view like this:
action(layer,command), e.g. action(layer2, “jump over wall”)
How this physics engine works internally is up to the programmer. The general idea behind abstract subgames is to provide subgoals and scoring rewards. These are used by the HTN-solver for figuring out the best move. Or to be more specific: the monolithic game is split into smaller, layered subgames which can each solved in a small amount of time.
==== Simulating a plan ====
Hierarchical task networks were invented in the year 1975 under the term “procedural net / NOAH”. According to the original paper <ref name="sacerdoti1975nonlinear" />, the general idea is to create a hierarchical plan and simulate it with a procedural net. Let us make a short example. At first we need a hierarchical plan, this plan is executed in a simulator. The simulator gives feedback for the plan. Is the plan valid? How long does it take? What is the overall score?
go to room B
go forward (physics engine #1)
leg1 down
leg2 left
leg1 up
take the key (physics engine #2)
open door (physics engine #3)
go forward (physics engine #1)
leg1 up
leg2 up
leg1 down
Running a hierarchical plan is straightforward compared to running a simple plan in a simulator. Because the procedural net is not only a single physics engine, but each node is it's own physics engine. In the figure the plan and the matching physics engine are given as an example. What the overall HTN-planner is doing is to take a subplan, recognizing which physics engine is the right one, and testing the plan against the engine. Finding the right plan is surprising simple. In the easiest implementation, random plans are generated, tested against the procedural net and the aim is to identify the plan with the highest score.
== Hierarchical task networks ==
=== Hierarchical Backtracking: a less known problem solving technique ===
With the advent of behavior trees for ingame-AI most software developers are aware of how to build an artificial agent. The idea is, that a designer specify the behavior of the bot and after the script is created it will get executed like a normal computer program. But scripting-AI is only the beginning, there are more sophisticated AI techniques available like HTN-planning and especially HTN-backtracking. The difference is, that they are not recognized broadly and most programmers doesn't know how to implement such strategies.
The basic idea behind HTN planning is, not to specify a script but program a symbolic game engine which is able to predict the future. Such a game-engine is equal to a textadventure, it is some kind of software modul which takes a command like “open door” and reacts to the command. One possible option to realize the engine is the PDDL programming language, but it is also possible to use normal C++ or Python code to program a textadventure. And now the things become complicated. A game-engine itself is not enough, what HTN-planning is about is a hierarchy of game-engines. On the lower level the agent moves around, on the second level he gets strategy commands like “move to point A” and on the high-level he gets very general commands like “search for the door”.
Suppose we have implemented a layered textadventure, then the next step is to use a technique called backtracking. Backtracking is usually known for game-tree search in computerchess. It means, to try out different paths in the tree. But, computerchess contains only of one tree, no hierarchy is used. If a multi-layer-gameengine is available it is available to backtrack over many layers, This saves lot of cpu-time. It means, that the solver is used for each game-engine separately. Let us make a simple example.
The plan which was created is:
search for a door
--move to point A
--open door
It is not a flat plan, but a hierarchical one. There are three layers available, and each layer is a separate game. Suppose in one of the layer some action is blocked, because of external reasons. Then the planer can search for a bypass. He uses the game-engine to predict future states and searches for a subplan which fulfills the conditions. The most important feature is, that the solver is really fast. Hierarchical planning means to leave huge parts of the overall plan unchanged. It is possible to replan only a subpart of the plan.
In most cases, the lowest layer of the HTN-planner is connected to a physics engine. Running a physics engine is very CPU-intensive. So the goal is to reduce the number of iterations. For example, if it is known, that the command “open door” will result into a certain situation it is not necessary to start the physics engine on each planning step to check if the agent really is able to open the door. Instead the result can be assumed as successful and this situation is used by the planners in a higher hierarchy. Now, let us suppose, the lowest physics engine layer has created a bug;
search for a door
--move to point A
--open door -> not working
search for a door
--move to point B
--open door -> success
The planner can react to the bug with replanning everything. He is trying to reach the same goal, but with different task sequence. How can we imagine the inner working of such a hierarchical planning tool? The easiest way is to see a HTN-planner as a generator for “natural language”. His primary function is to output sentences which are guiding the agent to a goal. It is similar to street-guidance system. Such software is usually separated in different layers, it can plan for the highway and also for small streets. The user have to enter the starting point and the goal and the system will calculate the steps between them. Backtracking search is used for figuring paths even if one street is blocked, so at the end the user can reach the goal.
The difference is only, that this time the game is more complex. It doesn't only contains streets but behaviors of an agent. For example, the robot navigates through the kitchen, opens the shelf and is using tools for making food.
=== Bottleneck in HTN-planning ===
Programming the solver itself to search for a plan is simple. In most cases, it will not take more then 100 lines of code because planning means only to testing out random actions until a condition is true. If the PDDL file for a domain is known, it is very easy to prove the theorem, which means to find a plan. The bottleneck in HTN-planning is somewhere else. It is the creation of the domain model, that means a machine readable prediction of how the world will change after a certain command.
Let's take in look into a formal STRIPS and PDDL file. It is mainly a syntax for describing a game-engine. We have a command for example “open door”, a precondition and the result. It is possible to construct with PDDL a game-engine for playing pacman or a textadventure. But what defines, how a pddl for a certain domain will look like? Usually only the low level game-engine is given for example the box2d simulation of a robot-grasping task. If the human-user is playing around with the physics engine he will generate some example, of how the game works. He is able to generate an internal model how to play this game. But, what he doesn't know is how the matching PDDL domainfile will look like. And here is the bottleneck. How much effort is necessary to create for given domain the PDDL file? Can this done automatically, for example with neural networks?
Let us imagine the PDDL file (or a similar specification in an object-oriented language) is given. That means, the possible actions, their outcome and sub-actions are known. The consequence is, that the game can be called solve. Because if the domain model is hierarchical organized and well implemented it is very easy for every planner to bring the system into a goal state. The current game-situation is know, also the goal of the game, and with a bit brute-force searching and backtracking the solver will find the path through it. It is simply not possible that the planner will fail.
That means, the result depends only from the domain model. If we have no domain model, or a flat model without hierarchy, then the planner will fail. If the only available domain model is the pure low-level box2d engine it makes no sense to search for plans, because the state-space is way to huge. The only bottleneck is the question of how to construct the domain model. Answering this question will result into a working robot-control-system.
In general there are two options a programmer has. At first, he can type in the PDDL file from scratch in his texteditor and see it as a software-engineering process. He can formulate requirements to the domain model to express which features are needed. Then he can track the changes with a version control system and test the model in a simulator. Such technique will result into a working domain model, but it is time consuming. The other option is to use some kind of data-driven learning method. Which means to record a gametrace in a logfile and generate the domain model automatically. This method needs very little human effort but it is unclear what the result will be.
A more easier task is not generate a domain model from scratch but testing out a given domain model if his predicted actions are correct. We are taken a PDDL file and running it against a low-level game-engine and at the end both models must be synchronous. According to previous published literature it is very hard to generate or evaluate a domain model automatically. The reason is, that a high-quality domain model not only contains Finite state machines, but also the action names in natural language, for example the “open door” task is called in the PDDL not “task1” but “open door”. It seems that automatically generate the Finite state machine plus the appropriate English-description by an algorithm is very hard and that a manual software-engineering process is the only way to get a functional domain model. Surprisingly the amount of effort isn't very high to do so. Suppose the PDDL file is 200 lines of code long. According to the average productivity such a domain model can be created by hand in 200/10=20 days by a single programmer. If he finds on github the needed PDDL file with a fulltext search it is possible to reduce the time further.
Perhaps it is time to explain how a domain model looks formally. Mainly it is a computerfile in the language STRIPS, PDDL, Prolog, Golog or even normal C++ code. It is equal to a layered game engine to express possible behaviors of an agent. The value of the domain model is equal to the used lines of code, a pddl file with 10 lines of code is inferior to a domain model which needs 1000 lines of code. A working real life domain model is similar to computercode. That means, more complex actions can not express in PDDL but needs a description in C++ object-oriented programming.
Nevertheless, there was some research in the direction of using LSTM neural networks to predict the action model with natural language. The idea is use a corpus of actions vocabulary and match this with the result in the game for predicting the future with a neural network:
“We developed a symbolic simulator based on the domain knowledge (i.e. Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) file) in the Tell Me Dave corpus to train the RL agent.” <ref name="zamanideep2017" />, page 3
The same idea is described by <ref name="lin2017knowledge" />. The figure on page 4 topleft explains the pipeline. At first a plan is presented: “1. move to cup, 2. grasp cup, 3. stop stop”. The plan gets executed in the game and results into some states. The LSTM neural networks learns the mapping between the actions and the consequences, so it can predict future commands:
“Our model can correctly predict complete action sequences with a probability of 92% on average.” <ref name="lin2017knowledge" />
=== Hierarchical plan simulation ===
A plan in computerchess contains only one layer. The moves are numbered and are executed from top to bottom:
1. f2f4 e7e5
2. f4xe5 d7d6
Such a notation can be executed against a chess-engine. It is executing the moves and can print out the board situation at the end. A less known way of executing plans is a hierarchy. The original plan contains more then one layer, the example has three layer, because of the maximum depth. Such a plan can also be executed against a simulator. But the simulator must be more sophisticated, because it reacts to an action on layer0 different then to an action on layer1.
task1
subtask1
action1
action2
subtask2
action3
action4
task2
subtask3
action5
The main idea behind HTN-planning is to construct hierarchical plans and testing them in an simulator. Like in the introductionary chess-example the idea is to calculate a score for a plan. It is a measurement what will happen if the plan is executed. Like a chess plan there are many possible outcomes available. The plan can run smoothly and result into the output “player1 has won”. Or the simulator can detect, that a move is illegal, then the execution will stop with an error message. But the most important feature is, that it is possible to generate a plan by a random generator and search the system backwards for a plan. That means, at the beginning we have no idea which actions are needed, and we must testing out some alternatives. This is discussed in the domain of PDDL and other hierarchical planning systems. The question is, how to construct a solver which will generate a high-score plan from scratch.
The PDDL syntax was mainly invented to increase the performance. If a high-level-action has a clear precondition, postcondition statement it is able to calculate a plan in high-speed. The PDDL environment acts like a super-fast game engine. Another technique (partial order planning) was also invented to increase the plan-search-speed. Here is the idea to plan only parts and aggregate this into much broader plans. A not so advanced planner is not using any kind of optimization and simply generates the complete plan from scratch with a random generator for testing it out against the simulator.
=== Hierarchical reinforcement learning ===
Under the term Reinforcement learning usually a data-driven is approach is discussed. The algorithm gets a database, learns from the data and is able to reproduce the movement. Because the missing programming effort, reinforcement learning is attractive in beginners of Artificial Intelligence. There are some main problems in implementing such an algorithm.
The main issue what all beginners and experts in machine learning will recognize is the topic of “my algorithm doesn't learn”. That means, they have constructed some kind of learning policy which is adapting to the data, but the error rate didn't fall under a certain level. What is wrong with the algorithm? This is very easy to answer, it is has to do with the reward function. If no reward function is available the best LSTM network will not learn. But what is a reward-function?
A game like “Mario AI” has a time period in which the game is running. For example it takes 5 minutes until a level is solved. In this time-period the agent is doing some actions, which are controlled by a neural network. The problem is, that the algorithm doesn't know if an action was right or wrong, because it is unclear what an action taken on timeframe 0:04 will has as a future consequence. Missing rewards during the game results into a huge state-space and this is equal to a not-learning reinforcement learning algorithm.
Overcome the problem is simple, and it is discussed in the literature under the term hierarchical reinforcement learning. A hierarchy is a set of actions which are grouped in layers. On the lowlevel layer primitive actions like “press button left”, “press button right” are used. On a higher level a command like “move to object” is given. A hierarchy of actions is equal to subgoals and this is equal to a reward function. For example, if the mid-level command “move to object” was entered then the rewards depends on if Mario AI has reached the object or not.
In my opinion, a hierarchical reinforcement learning system is possible to implement. The systems learns from the data all the tasks, subtasks and actions and is able to simulate the tasks in the agent's memory. The problem is, that from a bootstrapping perspective such an agent-architecture is very complex, because it is an HTN-planner and a action model learning tool at the same time. That means, after starting the software no PDDL domain is available, it is has to be learned from scratch. And if the model is ready, it will be used for planning the next action.
It is possible to explain the algorithm a bit in detail. In a normal HTN-planner a given action model is used, the pddl-file. This file is used for running a simulation. That means, the agent knows what will happen if he executes the command “move to object”. The pddl file is created by hand. In reinforcement learning the idea is to not program something but using existing data and generate the algorithm from the data. That means, Hierarchical reinforcement learning needs no initial PDDL file, it extracts the file from the data. Programming such an algorithm is technical possible but it is a very hard task. I would suggest it is easier to implement a normal HTN-planner which is filled with a manual pddl file. The reason is, that Hierarchical planning in general is very complicated and with reinforcement learning the things will get more complicated.
=== Expand of high-level actions ===
A hierarchical plan contains of actions, only the lowlevel actions can be executed directly, the mid- and high-level actions are symbolic labels:
task1
action1
action2
lowlevelaction1
lowlevelaction2
action3
But how exactly can we expand a high-level action? In the domain of compiler and interpreter programming a label is resolved with a grammar to a executable action. In the case of HTN-planning this idea will fail, because the high-level actions are resulting in a different sequence of lowlevel actions. It is a problem called “Answer set programming”, that means the high-level-label is equal to a goal which has to solved.
A HTN-plan is not a program which can be executed from start to end, it is more a list of goals. Some of the goals (the lowlevel actions) can be fulfilled easily, but the most goals not. Let us assume an example from Mario AI. If the goal is “jump with Mario over the wall”, then it is maybe clear what the purpose is and how the result will look like, but it is hard to transform this goal into a sequence of keyboard inputs. The good news is, that there is help. A so called brute-force solver can transform a goal into actions. It is some kind of backward search: we have possible random actions, a game engine and now we can search for the exact path in the gametree.
Apropos gametree. In classical game-theory the game tree is a graph of possible movements, it structures the decision making. In the area of HTN-planning there are many sub-game trees and the goal are equal to a desired state in the gametree. That means, the goal “jump with Mario over the wall” is pointing to a node in the gametree. On this node, the goal is fulfilled.
The question from the perspective of implementing such a system is how we formulate this problem. In the PDDL community the answer is to create a pddl domain model and search in the model for a plan. But I'm in doubt if this is the best way, because the PDDL language is limited and is not able to model object-oriented relations.
From the use-case an goal-resolution system should be work that the user can give a goal and a game-engine while the system gives back a plan:
solver(“jump with Mario over the wall”, gameengine2) -> plan=”right, right, jump, right”.
The gametree of the game engine is calculated, and the textual goal is used to identify a node. Then the solver calculates the plan to reach the goal-node. Such a system must work with different game-engines and different goals:
solver(“find the princess”, gameengine4) -> plan=”jump over wall, jump on enemy, walk right”.
I know, from a certain point of view, this workflow is trivial, because it is the description of a HTN-planner. But it seems, that even the first HTN-planner was developed in the mid 1970s the concept is not very often implemented. Let us describe the complete workflow for expanding a plan into actions:
task1
action1 -> solver("action1", gameengine1)
action2 -> solver("action2", gameengine2)
plan: lowlevelaction1
plan: lowlevelaction2
action3 -> solver("action3", gameengine3)
It is basically the same plan like in the beginning of the chapter, except that the high-level-goals are converted into requests to a solver.
=== Goal-Oriented Action Planning for realizing neural networks ===
Most beginners in neural networks will run into trouble because their agent have no reward function. A reward is equal to a goal, for example reaching a place on the map. In most cases the goal of the game itself is clear: win the game. But with this simple reward function it is impossible to train an agent. Suppose, the agent is doing random action ingame, is that an improvement of his situation or not? And because the algorithm can't answer the question, the agent will not learn, that means, he will not reach the goal nor he will improve his policy.
The answer to that problem is called “Goal-Oriented Action Planning”, which is basically the known “Hierarchical task network” principle adapted for computergames. GOAP means, to define a goal hiearchy which is equal to a reward function. A typical agent has a plan like “1. open door”, “2. move forward”, “3. take the key”, “4. open the door” and so forth. He has structured the game in smaller chunks, called symbolic goals. The list of all goals are stored in the goal tree and a planner is adjusting the plans in realtime. For example, if we are taking the agent into the air and placing him to another location, he replans everything.
It is possible to combine a neural network with the GOAP architecture? Yes, and it is a very good idea. The neural network is able to learn from example without programming to much manually while the GOAP principle is used for generating subgoals which guides the policy search of the agent.
The strengths and weakness of GOAP and neural networks are asymmetrical. The GOAP architecture is very strong in finding subgoals and planning. His weakness is, that the domain model has to be programmed manually. In contrast, neural networks have no subgoals and can't plan anything, but they need no manual programming and can adapt to given data. It is possible to combine both ideas into a powerful neural network cognitive architecture?
== Example ==
=== Conflict resolution in HTN-planning ===
The assumption for most HTN-planning domains is, that a working domain model is available. That means, the prediction of the model is accurate. The problem is, that this assumption is not realistic. In the figure a blue robotarm should push the object to the left. According to the HTN-domain model a push against an object moves the object. For the planner, the push action against the object will solve the problem. But in reality, a push against the object will be blocked by a second object. This case is not stored in the domain model so we have a gap between prediction and reality.
{{fig|2
|align=right
|Robotics-push-grasp-with-conflict-resolution.png
|Robotics push grasp with conflict resolution}}
What will happen, if the HTN planner is trying to create a plan? According to his domain model he will create the plan “1. push object to left”, and the planner believes this will work. After executing the plan in the simulator there is an error. That means the plan is executed but the result is different from the expectation. This is a tragedy, but it is useful information. Now the planner knows this his plan is wrong. And here comes the magic into the game. The new request to the HTN-planner is: “bring the object to the left but don't use the plan 'push object to the left', because this plan doesn't work”. That means, the planner is forced to solve the problem with a different plan. He can push the other object first and then push the original one.
It is acceptable, if the domain model isn't perfect and can't predict the reality. The HTN-planner will produce plans who doesn't work and this plans are marked as fail. In a second step, an alternative plan is generated which bypass the problem. The feature of detecting failed plans and bypass them is called “Backtracking”:
“If the decomposition is not possible (e.g. because of colliding restrictions), the planner backtracks and creates a different decomposition.” <ref name="lekavy2007expressivity" />, page 4
=== Lowlevel HTN-planning ===
Understanding a HTN-planner and a BDI agent is complicated, because the system contains of many submoduls. Perhaps it would help to describe the system from the bottom up? On the low-level the player can press left-key or the right-key for move his character on the screen. And the aim is to solve the game. The HTN-planner has the obligation to provide subgoals, for example to bring Mario first to the wall and then Mario should jump. Every of the subgoals can be fulfilled with pressing the left/right key. And the planner provides some more goals on the high-level-layer for example, to master level 1, or avoid an enemy. What the HTN-planner is doing is pressing right-left key to fulfill subgoals and high-level-goals. The process works in a realtime-fashion, that means the overall BDI architecture monitors the systems, calculates new subgoals and determines lowlevel actions to fulfill the goals.
Perhaps a small example. If the game takes 2 minutes, the normal player will have pressed 100 times on of the buttons, either left or right. Over the timespan he has navigated Mario through the level, pickups objects and jumped on top of enemies. A HTN-planner structures the 100 lowlevel actions together with the BDI-architecture in a formal way..

== Overview ==
Lady Randolph Churchill, Winston Churchill's mother, was an American, Jennie Jerome. After Lord Randolph Churchill died in 1895, probably of syphilis, she married twice more, each husband younger than the one before. Marie, Queen of Romania (Roumania at the time) described her as young woman:<blockquote>Lady Randolph was a ... flashing beauty, and might almost be taken for an Italian or a Spaniard. Her eyes were large and dark, her mouth mobile with delicious, almost mischievous curves, her hair blue-black and glossy, she had something of a Creole about her. She was very animated and laughed a lot, showing beautiful white teeth, and always looked happy and amused.<ref>Marie, Queen of Roumania. ''The Story of My Life''. London, 1934, Vol I, p. 81.

He also designed opera soprano Nellie Melba's "angel cloak" for Melba's 1891 performance as Elsa in ''Lohengrin''. The cloak has a row of Byzantine-looking medallions with faces of angels, similar to those at the hem of Lady Randolph Churchill's tunic. Like Lady Randolphs' costume, Melba's cloak was constructed by Jean-Philippe Worth of Paris.

==== Descriptions of Her Costume ====
*According to the ''Carlisle Patriot'', which often has more detail than other papers, "Among other Eastern Queens of ancient line was Lady Randolph Churchill as the Empress Theodora, in a dress of golden gauze thick with jewel-encrusted embroidery and wearing a high jewelled headdress, while in her right hand she carried a gold diamond-encircled ord [sic]."<ref>"Fancy Dress Ball: Unparalleled Splendour."

*Biographer Anne Sebba says she went as Empress Theodora of Byzantium: "The Empress, a former courtesan as powerful as she was beautiful, was the wife of the Emperor Justinian I. She had dozens of admirers and was generally held in low regard by respectable society. Shane [Leslie, her nephew] commented somewhat cruelly that Jennie would have resembled Theodora even without fancy dress."<ref name=":1" />{{rp|p. 206}}
==== Commentary on Her Costume ====
* The multiple layers make it impossible to see how this costume was constructed, in spite of an unusual number of images to look at. The costume has an elaborate headdress with a veil, an ornate tunic and a '''large''' gauzy underdress with full pagoda sleeves.
* Made up of a crown with a veil, a filet around her forehead and earpieces, her headdress must have been heavy. The crown is likely attached to the filet to keeping it from being pulled back by the trailing veil and its own weight.
* The fabric of the gauzy underdress and sleeves has sequins or something similar of different colors, perhaps gold and green, as one report suggests. The fabric is gauze or chiffon and not stiff the way organza would be. The fabric of the veil is also gauzy, though it lacks the sequins or beads.
* Made of a shiny, perhaps satin, fabric the tunic has two panels (one in front and the other in back) with no side seams. The panels are attached at the shoulders, making squared-off cap sleeves. The panels are decorated with circles made of appliquéd braided trim and beaded flowers between the circles. The circles especially are 3-dimensional, with braid, jewels and beads. The front panel comes just to the floor, and the back one is a few inches longer. The tunic has a row of Byzantine-looking medallions of the faces of angels at the bottom of tunic that makes it even stiffer than the rest of the tunic. These angel faces are a repetition of the similar medallions on Nellie Melba's cloak and perhaps echo Theodora's face on the 6th-century mosaic icon.
* The pigeon-breast look to her bust suggests that she is wearing a Victorian corset.
* She is wearing a lot of pearls. Russell Harris says that the orb Lady Randolph is carrying is "based on the Sovereign's Orb, 1661, and Queen Mary's Orb, 1689, (Tower of London)."<ref name=":3" />

A number of seemingly credible sources are describing an increase in political polarization worldwide. [[w:Maria Ressa|Maria Ressa]] describes how [[w:Rodrigo Duterte|Rodrigo Duterte]], former President of the [[w:Philippines|Philippines]] "started ... with five hundred volunteers<ref>Ressa (2022, pp. 147-8).</ref> (1) creating “sock puppets,” or fake accounts that attack or praise; (2) “mass reporting,” or organizing to negatively impact a targeted account; and (3) “astroturfing,” or fake posts or lies designed to look like grassroots support or interest.<ref>Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3).</ref> These actions tricked the algorithms of social media companies like Facebook and Twitter into amplifying fraudulent messages including incitements to violence and criminal prosecutions based on trumped up charges. The results easily overwhelmed honest media. [[w:Leila de Lima|Leila de Lima]], a Senator and former Secretary of Justice of the Philippines, spent years in pretrial detention before the charges were dropped for lack of evidence.<ref>Ressa (2022, p. 158ff) and Wikipedia, "[[w:Leila de Lima|Leila de Lima]]", accessed 2024-07-22.</ref> Ressa's news organization, [[w:Rappler|Rappler]].com, was ordered to close. Ressa herself was convicted on questionable charges. Both continued operating while the legal procedures against them were appealed.<ref>Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3) and Wikipedia, "[[w:Maria Ressa|Maria Ressa]]", accessed 2024-07-22.</ref> Ressa says similar procedures are making major contributions to the rise of fascism and far-right nationalist populists in the US, Europe, Turkey, India, Russia, and elsewhere.<ref>Ressa (2022, pp. 152-3).</ref> [[w:H. R. McMaster|H. R. McMaster]], former President Trump's second National Security advisor, said that "The internet and social media thus provided [Russia] with a low-cost, easy way to divide and weaken America from within."<ref>McMaster (2020, pp. 47-48).</ref> The [[w:2021 Facebook leak|2021 Facebook leak]] documented how executives of [[w:Facebook|Facebook]] and [[w:Meta Platforms|Meta]] knowingly prioritized profits over action to limit incitements to violence, even facilitating the [[w:Rohingya genocide|Rohingya genocide]] in [[w:Myanmar|Myanmar]], because doing otherwise would have reduced their profits.
This "Category:Media reform to improve democracy" include videos of experts and activists working this issue along with 29:00 mm:ss audio files submitted to a ''Media & Democracy'' series syndicated on the [[w:List of Pacifica Radio stations and affiliates|Pacifica radio network]]<ref><!--Media & Democracy on Audioport-->{{cite Q|Q127839818}}</ref> plus text and space for moderated discussions.
Some of this work is cited in the book on ''[[Media Literacy and You]]'', which is being written -- [[w:Crowdsourcing|crowdsourced]] -- to help humans better understand how they can counter the trend toward increasing political polarization and violence by talking politics, calmly, with respect and humility, with others with whom they may vehemently disagree, because the alternative is killing humans over misunderstanding. The goal is ''not'' to convince anyone that they are wrong. Rather it is to build relationships where humans can agree to disagree agreeably and collaborate to improve issues of common concern.

== Overview ==
On January 14<sup>th</sup>, 1939, Ed Currin was interviewed by the Federal Writers’ Project, a government program that provided employment after the Great Depression (refer link).
He was 82-years old at the time and had been living in Oxford, North Carolina for 29 years.<ref name=":0" />
__TOC__
== Biography ==
=== Childhood ===
Ed Currin was born on his great-grandfather’s plantation in 1857 in Granville County, North Carolina. He was the oldest out of seven siblings. When his great-grandfather died, Currin’s father sold the land, and they moved to different a plantation located in Frank County, North Carolina where Ed Currin would grow up.<ref name=":0" /> It was an era where tensions were high between the North and the South due to the moral issues of slavery. [[File:Oxford, Granville County, North Carolina.jpg|thumb|Oxford, Granville, North Carolina]]After the Civil War ended, Currin began working at the early age of 12. He would wake up 4 A.M and plow till sundown, only taking breaks for supper and lessons.<ref name=":0" />
==== Education ====
Ed Currin lived in a rural town, so he never attended public school. Instead, he was homeschooled by a teacher his mother hired for him and his sublings.<ref name=":0" /> But since Currin began working at an early age, he did not receive any long-term, adequate schooling.

==== Teen ====
When Ed Currin was 17-years old, he was given the opportunity to establish his first official business. Currin and his father, along with the help of several men, rebuilt a dam that was previously owned by his grandfather. It only took them 3 months to complete the project and after doing so, Currin’s father gave him the title to the land and a notebook.<ref name=":0" />
This was a turning point in Currin’s life. The notebook would hold the records of the dam’s profit from toll fees.
=== Family ===
By his late 20s, Ed Currin making enough money to settle down and start his own family. He married Mavis, his second cousin, and he described her as “the prettiest girl [he] ever saw.”<ref name=":0" /> She was a religious woman who Currin courted for over a year. Currin was 29-years old when he proposed to Mavis and in the following year, they got married and had their first child together.
Mavis died several years before this interview took place. The stories Currin told of Mavis reflected a happy, fulfilling marriage, such as the time he built two fishponds half-a-mile from their home for her. He stocked it with catfish, carp and perch because Mavis loved to fish.<ref name=":0" />
Ed Currin's first child, Dave, died when he was about 2-years old. Dave was standing on a cart when it lunged him, head first, toward a wall. Currin was present in the room but his back was turned away. Dave fell unconscious and for 8 days, he fell in and out of coma until “God took him”.<ref name=":0" />
After the incident, Currin revealed that he and Mavis "forgot about everything else."<ref name=":0" /> They were able to move on when they realized they still had the second son, Martin. They focused all of their attention on him and had a new baby about every other year- Sally, Josie, Kate and Becky.
=== Careers ===
==== Farmer ====
Ed Currin lived on a farm in a hill above his newly built dam. He owned several acres of land, all of which were handed down to him by his father or purchased using the profits from the dam’s toll fees.<ref name=":0" /> He used this land to grow his own food, farm tobacco crops, and raise livestock.
On top of that, the land contained an abundance of woods that allowed him to produce lumber. Currin mastered the art of carpentry and was able to construct multiple houses and buildings for his farm, using his own wood. He owned five tenant families, two of them were white and three of them were black. Currin also built them a house for their own.<ref name=":0" />
==== '''Saw-Miller''' ====
According to Ed Currin, he claimed to have sold the most lumber in his entire county.<ref name=":0" /> He owned a big sawmill and had a land that was abundant in wood, so his lumber was used to build many of the buildings in Oxford.
==== Jack-of-all-trade ====
When the opportunity allowed it, Ed Currin bought land, machinery, furniture, tobacco, mules and horses to re-sell for profit, which ranged from 50 to 500 percent.<ref name=":0" />
Currin travelled around his county to make purchases like this from small farmers and landowners.<ref name=":0" /> His biggest transaction was the purchase of an entire block of land. He made most of his money in this field, trading.
=== Legacy ===
Many people knew Ed Currin to be an honest, family-oriented businessman. He paid and fed his tenant workers well and provided adequate housing for them.<ref name=":0" /> He had extra rooms in his home which were always filled up with anyone who needed a place to stay.<ref name=":0">Ed Currin, interview. </ref> He paid for his children's education, and even after they had their own families, Currin still financially supported them.
The home Currin was interviewed in was one he previously built and owned. He gave the title to his daughter, Becky, after her husband died in a car accident several years prior.<ref name=":0" />
Currin made many sacrifices like this for his family throughout his life. In order to financially support them, he had to sell all of his mills, properties and livestock.<ref name=":0" />
So even before the Great Depression in 1929, money was already scarce for Ed Currin.
== Social Context ==
=== '''The Tobacco Industry in North Carolina''' ===
The tobacco industry has always been a big part of many southern state's economy. Buck Duke created the first tobacco factory in North Carolina.<ref name=":1" /> In 1881, James Bonsack patented the Bonsack Cigarette Rolling Machine which caused a significant rise in the popularity of cigarette smoking.<ref name=":1" /> By the late 1800s, "Duke was manufacturing more cigarettes than any other company in the world." <ref name=":1">Milov, "''The Cigarette"''</ref>Many big and small tobacco farmers benefitted from the competition amongst big tobacco companies like Duke.
Despite the fact that growing tobacco was an area dominated by large farms, small farmers still played a part in the industry as tenant farmers or sharecroppers.<ref name=":3">Blog, "Bright Leaves"</ref> However, after the Great Depression, the demand for tobacco decreased as Americans struggle to stay afloat. This marked the end of the popularity of the tobacco industry until World War II.<ref name=":3" />

=== Tenant Farmers ===
Following the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery, many farm owners found themselves in need of a new line employee. Since they could not afford to pay for high wages, many farm owners divided their land to be temporarily owned by laborers, who could raise crops on their new land, in exchange for work.<ref name=":2">Perrott and Sewlyn. "Sickness and the Depression: A Preliminary Report upon a Survey of Wage-Earning Families in Ten Cities."</ref> However, "thousands of farmers, in spite of years of scrimping, have not been able to accumulate enough to make a first payment on a farm of their own."<ref name=":2" /> This was due to the mistreatment of farm owners who often took advantage of tenant farmers. Nevertheless, there were good farm owners who paid their tenants well.
=== The Roaring Twenties ===
The Roaring Twenties was a period of substantial change in the political and social climate of America. This period of time is particularly marked by a migration from rural to urban living. Due to the nation’s economic growth between the years 1920 and 1929, the lives of many people had taken a strange new turn.<ref name=":4">History.com Editors. “The Roaring Twenties.” </ref> Americans had all of a sudden obtained disposable income, leading to the purchasing of luxury goods and general economic stimulation. Along with this, new music like Jazz was sweeping across the nation, women felt freer and more accepting of their sexuality, and shared culture became more widespread and diverse.<ref name=":4" />
However, the Roaring Twenties did not benefit everyone. For some Americans, the series of previous wars in their lifetime caused permanent damage in their economic stance.

== Dressmakers, Modistes, Costumiers, Perruquiers and Jewelers ==
=== Not to Mention Seamstresses, Tailors, Lace-makers, Milliners, and Lady's Maids ===
Dominated as the social world was by women, fashion was an important part of the reportage on social events, with some reporters demonstrating knowledge of fabrics, cuts, laces, and so on. The Victorians had specialized terms for people who designed and made clothing, especially very fashionable clothes or haut couture, and specialized careers for those people who assisted women to acquire, manage and wear that clothing. Because of the popularity of fancy-dress or costume parties, some of the people assisting them were costumiers from the world of theatre and opera. The terminology and examples that follow are generally focused on the end of the 19th century in London.
== Fashion Houses, Couturiers and Modistes ==
Discussing the Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 fancy-dress ball, the ''Gentlewoman'' says, "A great number of well-known modistes in London were also called upon to supply dresses."<ref name=":42" />{{rp|p. 42, Col. 3b}} Among those who helped construct the costumes and wigs include the following:
=== Bettans ===
Mary Farnan Bettans
84 Jermyn Street, London
Mary Bettans, Queen Victoria's "official royal dressmaker" early in her reign, maker of Victoria's wedding dress. In 1841, she had "a 'well conducted establishment' with journeywomen, in-door apprentices and improvers.<ref name=":17">{{Cite journal|date=2025-11-27|title=Mary Bettans|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mary_Bettans&oldid=1324345065|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}}</ref> In 1846 she was listed as "Court Dress and Dress Maker," and [[Social Victorians/People/Dressmakers and Costumiers#Johnston|Elizabeth Johnston]] was "Dress Maker Extraordinary."<ref name=":17" />
=== Creed, House of ===
House of Creed, in the 19th century British tailors and habit maker established in Paris like the House of Worth. Their clients included Queen Victoria, Empress Eugènie, and Count d'Orsay; Eugènie issued Creed & Cumberland a Royal Warrant.<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2025-08-22|title=Creed (perfume house)|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Creed_(perfume_house)&oldid=1307198553|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}}</ref> Later became a perfumier.
=== Doucet ===
A gossipy article in ''Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Herald'' (citing the ''Daily Mail'') says, "Lady de Grey is going as Zenobia, and is getting her dress from Doucet, I hear,"<ref name=":11">“Derbyshire Sayings and Doings.” ''Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Herald'' 12 June 1897, Saturday: 5 [of 8], Col. 2A.

=== Mme Durrant ===
Mme Durrant's concern, at the end of the 19th century, at least, was at 116 & 117 New Bond-street, London W. An ad in ''The Queen'' says,<blockquote>Court Dressmaker and Milliner. The Latest Paris Models in Morning, Afternoon, Tailor, and Evening Gowns, Millinery, and Mantles."<ref>"Madame Durrant, Court Dressmaker and Milliner." ''The Queen'' 15 April 1899, Saturday: 11 [of 88], Cols. 2–3c.

Elizabeth Johnston
Elizabeth Johnston was listed as "Dress Maker Extraordinary" in 1846.<ref name=":17" />
=== Mrs. Mason ===
M. or Mrs. Mason, of 4, New Burlington Street, W.<ref name=":42" />{{rp|p. 42, Col. 3b}}

It needs very careful making and the most artistic designs, and these you would be sure to obtain there, for the dresses she made for the Duchess of Devonshire's ball were quite artistic masterpieces."<ref>Holt, Ardern.

=== Mrs Sims' Court Dress Establishment, Dublin ===
Mrs Mary Sims, Dawson Street, Dublin
Mrs Sims made a dress decorated with beetle wings in c. 1880; this dress still exists and, according to Elaine Hewitt, is in the NMI collections.<ref name=":13">Objects in Focus: New Research Seminar, Naional Museum of Ireland, Decoraive Arts and History, Collins Barracks. Saturday 16th February 2013. https://www.academia.edu/2455567/The_material_culture_of_infancy_and_early_childhood_in_Ireland_c_1680_1830?auto=download.</ref> Hewitt's precis for an exhibit called ''Objects in Focus: New Research Seminar, National Museum of Ireland, Decoraive Arts and History, Collins Barracks'' says, "Mary Sims was a court dressmaker by Royal appointment, who established herself from 1863 as the most prominent dressmaker in Dublin."
Mrs Sims made costumes for the following guests at the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 fancy-dress ball]]:

Other people Mrs Sims made clothes for:
* Alexandra, Princess of Wales, 1885: Kate Strasdin offers an example of Alexandra's strategic use of clothing: a gown Alexandra wore to a Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace was, according to the ''Times'', "a dress of rich yellow satin and silver brocade, draped with silver lace, corsage to correspond, made by Mrs Sims of Dublin."{{rp|1885, p. 11}} What is strategic is the release of Mrs Sims's name, according to Strasdin, since "[t]he communication of this detail can only have come from the royal household itself, demonstrating the control that Alexandra exerted over details released to the press relating to her appearance."<ref>Strasdin, Kate, "Reporting Royal Dress: Queen Alexandra and Royal Image Making." Falmouth University Research Repository. http://repository.falmouth.ac.uk.</ref>
* Ishbel, Marchioness Aberdeen, 1886: "Ishbel, Lady Aberdeen (1857–1939), [wore a "costume of an Irish lady in the thirteenth century"] in 1886 while presiding over a garden party at the Vice Regal Lodge in the Phoenix Park in Dublin, an event to which the 2,000 invited guests were expected to wear clothes of Irish manufacture."<ref>Alex Ward, "Dress and National Identity: Women’s Clothing and the Celtic Revival," ''Costume'', 48:2, 2014, 193-212, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1179/0590887614Z.00000000050.</ref>{{rp|199}}

=== Worth, of Paris ===
Located in Paris, Maison Worth or the House of Worth — named for owner and designer Englishman Charles Frederick Worth — was a very influential couturier in the 2nd half of the 19th and the first quarter of the 20th centuries. The dresses Worth designed were typically handmade of very fine materials.<blockquote>Worth’s designs are notable for his use of lavish fabrics and trimmings, his incorporation of elements of historic dress, and his attention to fit. While the designer still created one-of-a-kind pieces for his most important clients, he is especially known for preparing a variety of designs that were shown on live models at the House of Worth. Clients made their selections and had garments tailor-made in Worth’s workshop.<ref name=":7">{{Cite web|url=https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/wrth/hd_wrth.htm|title=Charles Frederick Worth (1825–1895) and the House of Worth {{!}} Essay {{!}} The Metropolitan Museum of Art {{!}} Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History|last=Krick|first=Authors: Jessa|website=The Met’s Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History|language=en|access-date=2024-07-12}} https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/wrth/hd_wrth.htm.</ref></blockquote>After having won design prizes at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, which was housed at the Crystal Palace, and the 1854 Exposition Universelle in Paris, Worth opened his own design house in Paris in 1858.<ref name=":7" /> In 1869,<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2025-11-18|title=Eugénie de Montijo|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eug%C3%A9nie_de_Montijo&oldid=1322973534|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}}</ref> the Empress Eugénie appointed him designer to the court of France<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2024-07-03|title=House of Worth|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=House_of_Worth&oldid=1232307431|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Worth.</ref>:<blockquote>Worth’s rise as a designer coincided with the establishment of the Second Empire in France. The restoration of a royal house in 1852, with Napoleon III (1808–1873) as the new emperor, once again made Paris an imperial capital and the setting for numerous state occasions. Napoleon III implemented a grand vision for both Paris and France, initiating changes and modernization that revitalized the French economy and made Paris into a showpiece of Europe. The demand for luxury goods, including textiles and fashionable dress, reached levels that had not been seen since before the French Revolution (1789–99). When Napoleon III married Empress Eugénie (1826–1920), her tastes set the style at court .... The empress’ patronage ensured Worth’s success as a popular dressmaker from the 1860s onward.<ref name=":7" /></blockquote>Other patrons included women from Empress Eugénie's court, "Elizabeth of Austria, Margherita of Italy, Mme. de Castiglione, Mme. de Pourtales, and every reigning star in the theatrical and operatic world."<ref>[Worth, House of.] {{Cite book|url=http://archive.org/details/AHistoryOfFeminineFashion|title=A History Of Feminine Fashion (1800s to 1920s)}} Before 1927.

Besides his contributions to in developments in models of promotion and business for the couture fashion house, Worth's real influence took the form of a particular look, which for the end of the century we call the [[Social Victorians/Terminology#Traditional Style|traditional Victorian style]]. After Charles Worth's death in 1895, his sons Gaston-Lucien and Jean-Philippe "succeeded in maintaining his high standards," and Jean-Philippe especially "follow[ed] his father’s aesthetic, with his use of dramatic fabrics and lavish trimmings."<ref name=":7" /> While we associate a particular look with it, the House of Worth designed its clothing for its customers, whose relationship with the traditional style could be nuanced and fluctuating. For example, Lillie Langtry sometimes purchased her gowns at Maison Worth, even at the time she was known not to be corseted, so the style of the House of Worth is also less static and extreme than the gowns of some of its customers might suggest.
==== Costumes for the Fancy-dress Ball ====
The House of Worth made costumes for the following guests at the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 fancy-dress ball]]:
# [[Social Victorians/People/Louisa Montagu Cavendish|Louise, Duchess of Devonshire]], although the costume was designed by [[Social Victorians/People/Dressmakers and Costumiers#M. Comelli|Attilio Comelli]].

== Costumiers for Theatres and Operas ==
At the end of the 19th century, the profession of costumier depended on a knowledge of the history of clothing, although the costumiers themselves generally did not feel constrained by notions of [[Social Victorians/Terminology#Historical Accuracy|historical accuracy]] for the productions they designed for. ['''until the industrial revolution women made fabrics and clothing, plus ppl wore clothing every day, so clothing was not considered important. Planché; actual history of clothing vs just looking at portraits. History of clothing: foundation garments, items specific to a particular time like a codpiece, fabrics changed and evolved over time, plus a greater variety of fabrics; fabric and empires. The idea of a coherent production design with costumes designed for the particular actor in that production may have been changing about this time; before this actors provided their own costumes; Ellen Terry was probably part of this, Gilbert and Sullivan.''']
Not present at the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 fancy-dress ball]] but certainly very involved in it were the people who made or provided the clothing, hats, wigs, jewelry, and other accessories. Besides people who made the costumes (costumiers, dressmakers, and modistes) and wigs (perruquiers), embroiderers, jewelers and shoemakers are occasionally mentioned although almost never named in the newspaper accounts.
Not all of these may have been costumiers, at least professional ones; some of the less well known might have been [[Social Victorians/People/Dressmakers and Costumiers#Fashion Houses, Couturiers and Modistes|clothiers]] instead.

Russell Harris quotes ''The Encyclopedia of the Musical Theatre'' (Blackwell, 1994. Vol. 1, p. 19.):<blockquote>ALIAS, Charles (b France, 184-?; d London, 11 May 1921). The most famous name in British theatrical costumery in the second half of the 19th century.
The son of a French doctor, the young Alias fought alongside his father in the Franco-Prussian war where he is said to have lost the sight in one eye. He visited Britain and the Philharmonic Theatre, Islington, shortly afterwards as a dresser with the French dance troupe, Les Clodoches, and there he met and married Miss Price, the theatre's costumer. Although Alias had no experience in the theatre, he joined his wife in setting up the freelance firm of M et Mme Alias & Co, '''someties''' designing and manufacturing, or more often just making up from the designs of such artists as [Comelli or] Wilhelm or [[Social Victorians/People/Faustin Betbeder|Faustin]], the costumes for an ever-extending series of musical shows.
The Aliases made their mark in the West End when theyprovided the costumes for the original London production of ''La Fille de Madame Angot'' (1873), and thereafter they costumes, either wholly or partly, many of London's most important musical productions including the burlesques at the Gaiety Theatre (''The Bohemian G'yurl, Little Dr Faust, Gulliver, Il Sonnambulo, Pretty Esmeralda'' etc), the Royalty (''Madcap, '''Pluto''''' '''etc'''), and the Strand (''The '''Lying''' Dutchman, L'Africaine, Nemesis, Loo, Antarctic, Champagne, The Baby, Intimidad''), Gilbert's early ''Tospyturveydom'' and ''Princess Toto'', Gilbert and Sullivan premières at the '''OPera''' Comique (''The Pirates of Penzance'') and the Savoy (''Iolanthe''), the vast spectaculars at the Alhambra (''La Poule aux oeufs d'or'' etc) and, most noticeably, the long string of French opéras-bouffes and opéras-comiques which were produced in Britain in the 1870s and 1880s. These included the record-breaking ''Trouillat (La Belle Normande), Le Jour et la nuit (Manola), La Timbale d'argent (The Duke's Daughter), La Marjolaine, Les Prés St Gervais'' and most of the long string of adaptations from the French made by Alias's close friend Henry Farnie, and produced by Alexander Henderson.
Alias maintained a close connection with his homeland. His home at 48 Soho Square became well known as a first stopping place for Frenchmen new to London and a congenial gathering place for theatricals, and he as a useful and friendly intermediary in various theatrical dealings between London and Paris. Hervé, Planquette, Chassaigne, Audran and Lecocq were all guests at Soho Square and the little costumier was said to have been instrumental in the brothers Mansell bringing Hervé and his ''Chilpéric'' (1870) to London, and thus helping set off the craze for opéra-bouffe which dominated the 1870s musical theatre in England. He also encouraged Planquette to work with H B Farnie on an original musical for Britain - the result of which was the enduring ''Rip van Winkle''.
Alias & Co prospered in the 1880s, having a major succss with their new costumes for the transferred version of the amazing ''Dorothy'', and on into the 1890s by which stage they had become largely costume-makers rather than designers. Alias himself had by this time become one of the 'characters' of the London theatre, always anxiously asking 'What time de répétition générale?' as an opening approached, but always punctually ready with the show's costumes on dress-rehearsal night.
When Mme Alias died, Charles remarried and continued the business with his new wife, Mme Marie Wallet Floret from the Paris Opéra wardrobe, up to his death.<ref>Harris, Russell. {{Cite web|url=http://lafayette.org.uk/edw1335.html|title=King Edward VII at the Devonshire House Ball 1897, by Lafayette|website=lafayette.org.uk|access-date=2024-07-23}} Lafayette Negative Archive http://lafayette.org.uk/edw1335.html.

According to Smallhythe Place, the "beetle wing dress" for Ellen Terry's 1888 performance as Lady Macbeth was designed by Alice Comyns Carr and constructed by Ada Nettleship, the "team" that made Ellen Terry's costumes for perhaps 2 decades.<ref name=":14">"'Beetle Wing Dress' for Lady Macbeth."

(Smallhythe Place, Kent, part of the National Trust, was Terry's home from 1899 to her death. This dress is part of that collection.)
Nettleship crocheted the sleeves and skirt of Terry's costume to resemble "soft chain armour,"<ref name=":14" /> which she overlaid with wing cases from 1,000 beetles.<ref name=":15">{{Cite web|url=https://womenwhomeantbusiness.com/2021/01/21/ada-nettleship-1856-1932/|title=Ada Nettleship (1856-1932)|last=B|first=Lizzie|date=2021-01-21|website=Women Who Meant Business|language=en|access-date=2025-06-06}}</ref>
Comyn Carr and Nettleship's beetle-wing costume was not the only or even the first dress decorated with the iridescent wings. Ada Nettleship had used beetle wings in "an 1886 dress and an 1887 hat for Constance Lloyd that were oversewn with iridescent green beetle wings"<ref name=":16">{{Cite journal|date=2025-04-21|title=Ada Nettleship|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ada_Nettleship&oldid=1286707541|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}}</ref> — and [[Social Victorians/People/Dressmakers and Costumiers#Mrs Sims' Court Dress Establishment, Dublin|Mrs Sims]] had used some for a dress in c. 1880.<ref name=":13" />
==== Personal Details ====
Alice Laura Vansittart Comyns Carr designed costumes, and dressmaker Adaline Cort Nettleship constructed Comyns Carr's designs. They were a "costume team" separate from those who did the costumes for "the rest of the Lyceum company."<ref name=":14" /> They appear to have maintained individual establishments, with Nettelship often constructing costumes for Terry that were designed by Comyns Carr.
Alice Comyns Carr (1850–1927) was married to J. Comyns Carr, "drama and art critic, author, playwright and director of the Grosvenor Gallery."<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2025-04-21|title=Alice Comyns Carr|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alice_Comyns_Carr&oldid=1286707345|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}}</ref> She was associated with the [[Social Victorians/Terminology#Progressive Style|aesthetic dress movement]] and was friends with Edward Burne-Jones and John Singer Sargent as well as Lawrence Alma-Tadema, "the writers Robert Browning and Henry James and composers Hubert Parry and [[Social Victorians/People/Arthur Sullivan|Arthur Sullivan]]."<ref name=":15" />
Ada (Adaline) Cort Nettleship (1856 – 19 December 1932<ref name=":16" />) was married to painter John Trivett Nettleship. Some of her "[n]otable clients included the soprano Marie Tempest, and the actors Ellen Terry, Winifred Emery, Sarah Bernhardt, and Mrs Patrick Campbell."<ref name=":16" /> Like Comyns Carr, Nettleship was an advocate of [[Social Victorians/Terminology#Progressive Style|aesthetic dress design]], making dresses for Constance Lloyd in that progressive style, including her dress for her wedding to [[Social Victorians/People/Oscar Wilde|Oscar Wilde]]. Nettleship "in her youth had been a noted ‘art-embroiderer’ in the style of May Morris."<ref name=":15" />
Alice Comyns Carr published her ''Reminiscences'' in 1926, the year before her death. Ada Nettleship was covered by the newspapers from time to time ("''St James Gazette'' 30/5/1883; ''Dundee Evening Telegraph'' 7/7/1884; ''Morning Post'' 16/10/1886; ''The Queen'' 13/8/1887; ‘Ellen Terry’s gowns and the woman who makes them’ by Bessie O’Connor in ''Harpers Bazaar'' 9th Jan 1897; ‘What Actresses Pay For Their Dresses’ in ''New Zealand Herald'' 25/08/1900; ''South Wales Daily News'' 25/1/1902; ''Leeds Mercury'' 13/2/1914."<ref name=":15" />)

The Harry Ransom Center has a collection on this firm:<blockquote>The London costumier B. J. Simmons & Co. was founded in 1857 by a Mr. B. J. Simmons and operated by his direct descendants well into the 1930s. Simmons' costumes were known for their correctness of period, sophisticated design, and high quality. ... In their busy Covent Garden workshop, dressmakers turned out immaculately constructed stage apparel, often from renderings by leading costume designers. Successful theater managers repeatedly turned to Simmons for historical costumes, especially Herbert Beerbohm Tree whose magnificent stagings of Shakespeare were often outfitted by Simmons.
While best known as a historical costumier for the London stage, Simmons' output was diverse. The company created costumes for a variety of shows in the West End, the provinces, and overseas, ranging from Victorian pantomime to the "kitchen sink" dramas of the 1960s. ... In addition to making new costumes for professional productions, Simmons operated a thriving rental business which allowed operatic and dramatic societies across England to hire beautifully made garments for amateur productions. Like many theatrical costumiers, Simmons maintained a substantial nontheatrical trade.
Simmons began as a family-run outfit known variously as B. J. Simmons, J. B. Simmons, John Simmons & Son/Sons, Simmons/Symmons/Simmonds Brothers, G. B. Simmons, and B. & G. Simmons. The force majeure seems to have been John Simmons, whose name appears in ''The London Stage'' and in London newspapers until 1922. According to J. P. Wearing, between 1890 and 1899 Simmons provided costumes for at least forty-two theatre productions in London.<ref name=":3" /></blockquote>Simmons' contributions to costumes for the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 fancy-dress ball]]:

His wig, which completed a correct make-up as Knight of Malta, was specially made and fitted by that favoured "Royal Perruquier" Mr Willie Clarkson, who also had the honour of making and fitting the wigs worn by Prince Charles of Denmark, the Duke of York, and the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, and of dressing the hair of the Duchess of York and the Princess Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein. Mr Clarkson also supplied a number of the costumes, including those worn by the Grand Duke Michael of Russia, Princess Louise, and the Duke of Manchester. It would not be safe to say how many crowned heads have literally "passed through the hands" of Mr Clarkson. The art of the perruquier is a very difficult one, requiring historical knowledge, patient research, and great taste. It is most essential to the success of any theatrical performance or of an historical ball.<ref name=":1">“Foreign Plays and Players.” ''The Era'' 10 July 1897, Saturday: 15 [of 28], Col. 3c.

=== The Parisian Diamond Company ===
* 43, Burlington Arcade
* 85, New Bond street
* 143, Regent-street
After naming costumiers for the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 fancy-dress ball]], the ''Gentlewoman'' specifically mentions the Parisian Company for its jewelry and Mr. Norman of Bond Street for the shoes he made:<blockquote>Among other firms [than the costumiers] who lent their aid to make the great ball a huge success was the Parisian Company, whose sparkling gems and jewels, and whose ropes of pearls and precious stones, enhanced the charms of many a fair dame in her dainty old-world costume, and the firm of Mr. Norman, 69, New Bond-street, who designed and made the shoes for the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Buccleuch, &c., &c.<ref name=":42" />{{rp|p. 42, Col. 3c}}</blockquote>The ''Lady's Pictorial'' also mentions the Parisian Diamond Company in the context of the Devonshire House ball:<blockquote>The Duchess of Devonshire’s fancy dress ball promises to be an almost historic function, where all that is loveliest in the way of women, gowns, and jewels will be brought together to dazzle the eyes of all beholders. And from what a little bird has whispered to me I am convinced that one of the sensations of the night will be provided by the exquisite and wonderful pieces of jewellery which are being executed for the occasion by that enterprising Parisian Diamond Co., to whose inventive genius there is absolutely no end. They have excelled themselves in the unique and daring originality of the designs — in fact they have taken full advantage of a very special opportunity for the display of their perfect taste and workmanship.
If you are not going to the Duchess’s ball, you will most certainly be present at one or other of the festivities of the Jubilee season, and one or other of these things of beauty and of diamonds, which are portrayed for you on page 931, will be in consequence a necessary addition to your jewel-case. I am quite sure that if you put the case properly before an indulgent husband or father he will see the full force of the argument.
What could possibly be lovelier than that spray of wild roses and ferns, caught together with a true-lover's knot, while trails of ribbon cross the corsage and fasten high up on the right shoulder with a quaint lizard? It is a triumph of design and workmanship — my congratulations to the Company who produced it and the lucky woman who is its ultimate possessor.
Failing the corsage ornament, that comb, or dagger, or aigrette, where the famous Orient pearls are introduced, would, I am sure, be acceptable — go and see them at the Company’s new establishment at 143, Regent-street, where the beauty of the jewels is enhanced by the artistic loveliness of the surroundings, with which, by the way, I have already made you acquainted. The Company’s other addresses are 43, Burlington Arcade, and 85, New Bond street.<ref>"Jewellery Wonders by the Parisian Diamond Co." London Fashions.

== People Who Made Costumes for the Ball ==
The ''Queen'' often mentions the dressmaker or costumier in its reports on the costumes at the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 2 July 1897 fancy-dress ball at Devonshire House]] as well as in general.
The ''Gentlewoman'' covered this topic explicitly in its report on the ball:<blockquote>Very great credit is due to the taste and artistic powers of the designers of these dresses, and particular mention must be made of M. Comelli, of Covent Garden Theatre, whose facile pen designed most of the superb toilettes so ably carried out by Messrs. Alias, of Soho-square. Other theatrical costumiers who brought all their special talents to bear on the historical and fancy costumes required for this function were Messrs. Nathan (artist, Mr. Karl), of Coventry-street; Messrs. John Simmons & Sons, Haymarket; Mme. Auguste, of Wellington-street; Harrison's, Ltd., 31, Bow-street; Simmons, 7 and 8, King-street; Mr. Clarkson, 44, Wellington-street; Mme. Fisher, 26, Bedford-street; and many others. A great number of well-known modistes in London were also called upon to supply dresses. Amongst these we chronicle M. Mason, New Burlington-street; M. Machinka, Conduit-street; Paquin, of Dover-street; Jays, Ltd., Regent-street; Messrs. Durrant, 116, Bond-street (who made Lady Londonderry's magnificent gown), and numerous others.<ref name=":42" />{{rp|p. 42, Col. 3b}}</blockquote>The London ''Evening Standard'' cites the sources of its information about the costumes:<blockquote>We are indebted for some of the particulars of the dresses to Mr. Charles Alias, Soho-square; Messrs. L. and H. Nathan, Coventry-street, Haymarket; Messrs. John Simmons and Son, Coventry House, Haymarket; Mr. May, Garrick-street, Covent-garden; Miss Mary E. Fisher, 26 Bedford-street, Covent-garden; and the ''Lady'' newspaper.<ref name=":8" />{{rp|p. 3, Col. 5b}}</blockquote>The ''Morning Post'' also addressed the costumiers. It named Mr. Alias in association with the royals, as well as mentioning several other costumiers by name:<blockquote>The costumes worn by the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, and the Duchess of Connaught, as well as many others were supplied by Mr. Alias, of Soho-square. Those worn by the Grand Duke Michael of Russia, the Duke of Manchester, Princess Victor of Hohenlohe, and others were made by Mr. W. Clarkson, of Wellington-street, who also supplied the wigs and headdresses for the Royal Family. Messrs.

At Alias Nathan's, Clarkson's, Auguste's, and Simmons' all hands set to with a will, and it is gratifying to know that the dresses entrusted to them more than held their own with those sent over from Paris.<ref name=":10">"The Duchess of Devonshire's Fancy Dress Ball.

According to the ''Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Herald'', citing the ''Daily Mail'',
<blockquote>
<p>Lady de Grey is going as Zenobia, and is getting her dress from Doucet, I hear, while Worth also is making a great many costumes; but the greatest number are being made in England. The Duchess of Portland, the Duchess of Hamilton, Lady Mar and Kellie, and [[Social Victorians/People/Muriel Wilson|Miss Muriel Wilson]] are all going to the costumier in Soho-square, and Alias has also been summoned to Marlborough House for a consultation.</p>

Dominated as the social world was by women, fashion was an important part of the reportage on social events, with some reporters demonstrating knowledge of fabrics, cuts, laces, and so on. The Victorians had specialized terms for people who designed and made clothing, especially very fashionable clothes or haut couture, and specialized careers for those people who assisted women to acquire, manage and wear that clothing. Because of the popularity of fancy-dress or costume parties, some of the people assisting them were costumiers from the world of theatre and opera. The [[Social Victorians/Terminology|terminology]] and examples that follow are generally focused on the terms used by newspapers at the end of the 19th century in London.
Some of those who helped construct the costumes and wigs follow, and most of those mentioned below helped supply designs, costumes, wigs, jewelry and so on. Most wealthy women purchased their corsets from corsetieres (or corsetiers).

=== Worth, of Paris ===
Located in Paris, Maison Worth or the House of Worth — named for owner and designer Englishman Charles Frederick Worth — was a very influential couturier in the 2nd half of the 19th and the first quarter of the 20th centuries. The dresses Worth designed were typically handmade of very fine materials.<blockquote>Worth’s designs are notable for his use of lavish fabrics and trimmings, his incorporation of elements of historic dress, and his attention to fit. While the designer still created one-of-a-kind pieces for his most important clients, he is especially known for preparing a variety of designs that were shown on live models at the House of Worth. Clients made their selections and had garments tailor-made in Worth’s workshop.<ref name=":7">{{Cite web|url=https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/wrth/hd_wrth.htm|title=Charles Frederick Worth (1825–1895) and the House of Worth {{!}} Essay {{!}} The Metropolitan Museum of Art {{!}} Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History|last=Krick|first=Authors: Jessa|website=The Met’s Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History|language=en|access-date=2024-07-12}} https://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/wrth/hd_wrth.htm.</ref></blockquote>After having won design prizes at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, which was housed at the Crystal Palace, and the 1854 Exposition Universelle in Paris, Worth opened his own design house in Paris in 1858.<ref name=":7" /> In 1869,<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2025-11-18|title=Eugénie de Montijo|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Eug%C3%A9nie_de_Montijo&oldid=1322973534|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}}</ref> the Empress Eugénie appointed him designer to the court of France<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2024-07-03|title=House of Worth|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=House_of_Worth&oldid=1232307431|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}} https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Worth.</ref>:<blockquote>Worth’s rise as a designer coincided with the establishment of the Second Empire in France. The restoration of a royal house in 1852, with Napoleon III (1808–1873) as the new emperor, once again made Paris an imperial capital and the setting for numerous state occasions. Napoleon III implemented a grand vision for both Paris and France, initiating changes and modernization that revitalized the French economy and made Paris into a showpiece of Europe. The demand for luxury goods, including textiles and fashionable dress, reached levels that had not been seen since before the French Revolution (1789–99). When Napoleon III married Empress Eugénie (1826–1920), her tastes set the style at court .... The empress’ patronage ensured Worth’s success as a popular dressmaker from the 1860s onward.<ref name=":7" /></blockquote>Other patrons included women from Empress Eugénie's court, "Elizabeth of Austria, Margherita of Italy, Mme. de Castiglione, Mme. de Pourtales, and every reigning star in the theatrical and operatic world."<ref>[Worth, House of.] {{Cite book|url=http://archive.org/details/AHistoryOfFeminineFashion|title=A History Of Feminine Fashion (1800s to 1920s)}} Before 1927. [Likely commissioned by Worth. Link is to Archive.org; info from Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Worth_Biarritz_salon.jpg.]</ref> (6) By the end of the 19th century, wealthy women from the US, the UK and around Europe were making their way to Maison Worth in Paris.
Besides his contributions to in developments in models of promotion and business for the couture fashion house, Worth's real influence took the form of a particular look, which for the end of the century we call the [[Social Victorians/Terminology#Traditional Style|traditional Victorian style]]. After Charles Worth's death in 1895, his sons Gaston-Lucien and Jean-Philippe "succeeded in maintaining his high standards," and Jean-Philippe especially "follow[ed] his father’s aesthetic, with his use of dramatic fabrics and lavish trimmings."<ref name=":7" /> While we associate a particular look with it, the House of Worth designed its clothing for its customers, whose relationship with the traditional style could be nuanced and fluctuating. For example, Lillie Langtry sometimes purchased her gowns at Maison Worth, even at the time she was known not to be corseted, so the style of the House of Worth is also less static and extreme than the gowns of some of its customers might suggest.
==== Costumes for the Fancy-dress Ball ====
The House of Worth made costumes for the following guests at the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 fancy-dress ball]]:
# [[Social Victorians/People/Louisa Montagu Cavendish|Louise, Duchess of Devonshire]], although the costume was designed by [[Social Victorians/People/Dressmakers and Costumiers#M. Comelli|Attilio Comelli]].
# Lady Randolph Churchill<ref name=":6" />
# Mrs. Arthur Paget<ref name=":6" />
# Daisy, Countess of Warwick<ref name=":6" />
== Costumiers for Theatres and Operas ==
At the end of the 19th century, the profession of costumier depended on a knowledge of the history of clothing, although the costumiers themselves generally did not feel constrained by notions of [[Social Victorians/Terminology#Historical Accuracy|historical accuracy]] for the productions they designed for.
['''until the industrial revolution women made fabrics and clothing, plus ppl wore clothing every day, so clothing was not considered important. Planché; actual history of clothing vs just looking at portraits. History of clothing: foundation garments, items specific to a particular time like a codpiece, fabrics changed and evolved over time, plus a greater variety of fabrics; fabric and empires. The idea of a coherent production design with costumes designed for the particular actor in that production may have been changing about this time; before this actors provided their own costumes; Ellen Terry was probably part of this, Gilbert and Sullivan.''']
Not present at the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 fancy-dress ball]] but certainly very involved in it were the people who made or provided the clothing, hats, wigs, jewelry, and other accessories. Besides people who made the costumes (including costumiers, dressmakers, and modistes) and wigs (perruquiers), embroiderers, jewelers and shoemakers are occasionally mentioned although almost never named in the newspaper accounts.
Not all of these may have been costumiers, at least professional ones; some of the less well known might have been [[Social Victorians/People/Dressmakers and Costumiers#Fashion Houses, Couturiers and Modistes|clothiers]] instead.

The son of a French doctor, the young Alias fought alongside his father in the Franco-Prussian war where he is said to have lost the sight in one eye. He visited Britain and the Philharmonic Theatre, Islington, shortly afterwards as a dresser with the French dance troupe, Les Clodoches, and there he met and married Miss Price, the theatre's costumer. Although Alias had no experience in the theatre, he joined his wife in setting up the freelance firm of M et Mme Alias & Co, '''someties''' designing and manufacturing, or more often just making up from the designs of such artists as [Comelli or] Wilhelm or [[Social Victorians/People/Faustin Betbeder|Faustin]], the costumes for an ever-extending series of musical shows.
The Aliases made their mark in the West End when theyprovided the costumes for the original London production of ''La Fille de Madame Angot'' (1873), and thereafter they costumes, either wholly or partly, many of London's most important musical productions including the burlesques at the Gaiety Theatre (''The Bohemian G'yurl, Little Dr Faust, Gulliver, Il Sonnambulo, Pretty Esmeralda'' etc), the Royalty (''Madcap, '''Pluto''''' '''etc'''), and the Strand (''The '''Lying''' Dutchman, L'Africaine, Nemesis, Loo, Antarctic, Champagne, The Baby, Intimidad''), Gilbert's early ''Tospyturveydom'' and ''Princess Toto'', Gilbert and Sullivan premières at the '''OPera''' Comique (''The Pirates of Penzance'') and the Savoy (''Iolanthe''), the vast spectaculars at the Alhambra (''La Poule aux oeufs d'or'' etc) and, most noticeably, the long string of French opéras-bouffes and opéras-comiques which were produced in Britain in the 1870s and 1880s. These included the record-breaking ''Trouillat (La Belle Normande), Le Jour et la nuit (Manola), La Timbale d'argent (The Duke's Daughter), La Marjolaine, Les Prés St Gervais'' and most of the long string of adaptations from the French made by Alias's close friend Henry Farnie, and produced by Alexander Henderson.
Alias maintained a close connection with his homeland. His home at 48 Soho Square became well known as a first stopping place for Frenchmen new to London and a congenial gathering place for theatricals, and he as a useful and friendly intermediary in various theatrical dealings between London and Paris. Hervé, Planquette, Chassaigne, Audran and Lecocq were all guests at Soho Square and the little costumier was said to have been instrumental in the brothers Mansell bringing Hervé and his ''Chilpéric'' (1870) to London, and thus helping set off the craze for opéra-bouffe which dominated the 1870s musical theatre in England. He also encouraged Planquette to work with H B Farnie on an original musical for Britain - the result of which was the enduring ''Rip van Winkle''.
Alias & Co prospered in the 1880s, having a major succss with their new costumes for the transferred version of the amazing ''Dorothy'', and on into the 1890s by which stage they had become largely costume-makers rather than designers. Alias himself had by this time become one of the 'characters' of the London theatre, always anxiously asking 'What time de répétition générale?' as an opening approached, but always punctually ready with the show's costumes on dress-rehearsal night.
When Mme Alias died, Charles remarried and continued the business with his new wife, Mme Marie Wallet Floret from the Paris Opéra wardrobe, up to his death.<ref>Harris, Russell. {{Cite web|url=http://lafayette.org.uk/edw1335.html|title=King Edward VII at the Devonshire House Ball 1897, by Lafayette|website=lafayette.org.uk|access-date=2024-07-23}} Lafayette Negative Archive http://lafayette.org.uk/edw1335.html.

[[Social Victorians/People/Faustin Betbeder|Faustin Bedbeter]] was a caricaturist and painter who left France after Bismarck's seige of Paris and settled in London, working for the ''London Figaro'' and ''Punch''. He was a costumier beginning at least in 1875. He designed the costumes for a 1909 revival of [[Social Victorians/People/Gilbert|Gilbert]] and [[Social Victorians/People/Arthur Sullivan|Sullivan]]'s ''The Pirates of Penzance''.

Alice Comyns Carr and Ada Nettleship
According to Smallhythe Place, the "beetle wing dress" for Ellen Terry's 1888 performance as Lady Macbeth was designed by Alice Comyns Carr and constructed by Ada Nettleship, the "team" that made Ellen Terry's costumes for perhaps 2 decades.<ref name=":14">"'Beetle Wing Dress' for Lady Macbeth."

(Smallhythe Place, Kent, part of the National Trust, was Terry's home from 1899 to her death. This dress is part of that collection.)
Nettleship crocheted the sleeves and skirt of Terry's costume to resemble "soft chain armour,"<ref name=":14" /> which she overlaid with wing cases from 1,000 beetles.<ref name=":15">{{Cite web|url=https://womenwhomeantbusiness.com/2021/01/21/ada-nettleship-1856-1932/|title=Ada Nettleship (1856-1932)|last=B|first=Lizzie|date=2021-01-21|website=Women Who Meant Business|language=en|access-date=2025-06-06}}</ref>
Comyn Carr and Nettleship's beetle-wing costume was not the only or even the first dress decorated with the iridescent wings.

Alice Laura Vansittart Comyns Carr designed costumes, and dressmaker Adaline Cort Nettleship constructed Comyns Carr's designs. They were a "costume team" separate from those who did the costumes for "the rest of the Lyceum company."<ref name=":14" /> They appear to have maintained individual establishments, with Nettelship often constructing costumes for Terry that were designed by Comyns Carr.
Alice Comyns Carr (1850–1927) was married to J. Comyns Carr, "drama and art critic, author, playwright and director of the Grosvenor Gallery."<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2025-04-21|title=Alice Comyns Carr|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Alice_Comyns_Carr&oldid=1286707345|journal=Wikipedia|language=en}}</ref> She was associated with the [[Social Victorians/Terminology#Progressive Style|aesthetic dress movement]] and was friends with Edward Burne-Jones and John Singer Sargent as well as Lawrence Alma-Tadema, "the writers Robert Browning and Henry James and composers Hubert Parry and [[Social Victorians/People/Arthur Sullivan|Arthur Sullivan]]."<ref name=":15" />
Ada (Adaline) Cort Nettleship (1856 – 19 December 1932<ref name=":16" />) was married to painter John Trivett Nettleship. Some of her "[n]otable clients included the soprano Marie Tempest, and the actors Ellen Terry, Winifred Emery, Sarah Bernhardt, and Mrs Patrick Campbell."<ref name=":16" /> Like Comyns Carr, Nettleship was an advocate of [[Social Victorians/Terminology#Progressive Style|aesthetic dress design]], making dresses for Constance Lloyd in that progressive style, including her dress for her wedding to [[Social Victorians/People/Oscar Wilde|Oscar Wilde]]. Nettleship "in her youth had been a noted ‘art-embroiderer’ in the style of May Morris."<ref name=":15" />
Alice Comyns Carr published her ''Reminiscences'' in 1926, the year before her death. Ada Nettleship was covered by the newspapers from time to time ("''St James Gazette'' 30/5/1883; ''Dundee Evening Telegraph'' 7/7/1884; ''Morning Post'' 16/10/1886; ''The Queen'' 13/8/1887; ‘Ellen Terry’s gowns and the woman who makes them’ by Bessie O’Connor in ''Harpers Bazaar'' 9th Jan 1897; ‘What Actresses Pay For Their Dresses’ in ''New Zealand Herald'' 25/08/1900; ''South Wales Daily News'' 25/1/1902; ''Leeds Mercury'' 13/2/1914."<ref name=":15" />)

The Harry Ransom Center has a collection on this firm:<blockquote>The London costumier B. J. Simmons & Co. was founded in 1857 by a Mr. B. J. Simmons and operated by his direct descendants well into the 1930s. Simmons' costumes were known for their correctness of period, sophisticated design, and high quality. ... In their busy Covent Garden workshop, dressmakers turned out immaculately constructed stage apparel, often from renderings by leading costume designers. Successful theater managers repeatedly turned to Simmons for historical costumes, especially Herbert Beerbohm Tree whose magnificent stagings of Shakespeare were often outfitted by Simmons.
While best known as a historical costumier for the London stage, Simmons' output was diverse. The company created costumes for a variety of shows in the West End, the provinces, and overseas, ranging from Victorian pantomime to the "kitchen sink" dramas of the 1960s. ... In addition to making new costumes for professional productions, Simmons operated a thriving rental business which allowed operatic and dramatic societies across England to hire beautifully made garments for amateur productions. Like many theatrical costumiers, Simmons maintained a substantial nontheatrical trade.
Simmons began as a family-run outfit known variously as B. J. Simmons, J. B. Simmons, John Simmons & Son/Sons, Simmons/Symmons/Simmonds Brothers, G. B. Simmons, and B. & G. Simmons. The force majeure seems to have been John Simmons, whose name appears in ''The London Stage'' and in London newspapers until 1922. According to J. P. Wearing, between 1890 and 1899 Simmons provided costumes for at least forty-two theatre productions in London.<ref name=":3" /></blockquote>Simmons' contributions to costumes for the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 1897 fancy-dress ball]]:

And from what a little bird has whispered to me I am convinced that one of the sensations of the night will be provided by the exquisite and wonderful pieces of jewellery which are being executed for the occasion by that enterprising Parisian Diamond Co., to whose inventive genius there is absolutely no end. They have excelled themselves in the unique and daring originality of the designs — in fact they have taken full advantage of a very special opportunity for the display of their perfect taste and workmanship.
If you are not going to the Duchess’s ball, you will most certainly be present at one or other of the festivities of the Jubilee season, and one or other of these things of beauty and of diamonds, which are portrayed for you on page 931, will be in consequence a necessary addition to your jewel-case. I am quite sure that if you put the case properly before an indulgent husband or father he will see the full force of the argument.
What could possibly be lovelier than that spray of wild roses and ferns, caught together with a true-lover's knot, while trails of ribbon cross the corsage and fasten high up on the right shoulder with a quaint lizard? It is a triumph of design and workmanship — my congratulations to the Company who produced it and the lucky woman who is its ultimate possessor.
Failing the corsage ornament, that comb, or dagger, or aigrette, where the famous Orient pearls are introduced, would, I am sure, be acceptable — go and see them at the Company’s new establishment at 143, Regent-street, where the beauty of the jewels is enhanced by the artistic loveliness of the surroundings, with which, by the way, I have already made you acquainted. The Company’s other addresses are 43, Burlington Arcade, and 85, New Bond street.<ref>"Jewellery Wonders by the Parisian Diamond Co." London Fashions.

== Shoemakers ==
According to the ''Gentlewoman'', "the firm of Mr. Norman, 69, New Bond-street, ... designed and made the shoes for the Princess of Wales, the Duchess of Buccleuch, &c., &c."<ref name=":42" />{{rp|p. 42, Col. 3c}}
== People Who Made Costumes for the Ball ==
The ''Queen'' often mentions the dressmaker or costumier in its reports on the costumes at the [[Social Victorians/1897 Fancy Dress Ball|Duchess of Devonshire's 2 July 1897 fancy-dress ball at Devonshire House]] as well as in general.
The ''Gentlewoman'' covered this topic explicitly in its report on the ball:<blockquote>Very great credit is due to the taste and artistic powers of the designers of these dresses, and particular mention must be made of M. Comelli, of Covent Garden Theatre, whose facile pen designed most of the superb toilettes so ably carried out by Messrs. Alias, of Soho-square. Other theatrical costumiers who brought all their special talents to bear on the historical and fancy costumes required for this function were Messrs. Nathan (artist, Mr. Karl), of Coventry-street; Messrs. John Simmons & Sons, Haymarket; Mme. Auguste, of Wellington-street; Harrison's, Ltd., 31, Bow-street; Simmons, 7 and 8, King-street; Mr. Clarkson, 44, Wellington-street; Mme. Fisher, 26, Bedford-street; and many others. A great number of well-known modistes in London were also called upon to supply dresses. Amongst these we chronicle M. Mason, New Burlington-street; M. Machinka, Conduit-street; Paquin, of Dover-street; Jays, Ltd., Regent-street; Messrs. Durrant, 116, Bond-street (who made Lady Londonderry's magnificent gown), and numerous others.<ref name=":42" />{{rp|p. 42, Col. 3b}}</blockquote>The London ''Evening Standard'' cites the sources of its information about the costumes:<blockquote>We are indebted for some of the particulars of the dresses to Mr. Charles Alias, Soho-square; Messrs. L. and H. Nathan, Coventry-street, Haymarket; Messrs. John Simmons and Son, Coventry House, Haymarket; Mr. May, Garrick-street, Covent-garden; Miss Mary E. Fisher, 26 Bedford-street, Covent-garden; and the ''Lady'' newspaper.<ref name=":8" />{{rp|p. 3, Col. 5b}}</blockquote>The ''Morning Post'' also addressed the costumiers. It named Mr. Alias in association with the royals, as well as mentioning several other costumiers by name:<blockquote>The costumes worn by the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York, and the Duchess of Connaught, as well as many others were supplied by Mr. Alias, of Soho-square. Those worn by the Grand Duke Michael of Russia, the Duke of Manchester, Princess Victor of Hohenlohe, and others were made by Mr. W. Clarkson, of Wellington-street, who also supplied the wigs and headdresses for the Royal Family. Messrs. Simmons and Sons, of the Haymarket, made a large number of costumes, including those of the Duke of Somerset, the Marquis of Winchester, Earls Beauchamp, Carrington, Ellesmere, and Essex. Nathan, of Coventry-street, and Simmons, of King-street, Covent-garden; Madame Frederic, of Lower Grosvenor-place, and Mrs. Mason, of New Burlington-street, also made some of the principal costumes.<ref name=":0" />{{rp|p. 8, Col. 2a}}</blockquote>The ''Lady's Pictorial''<nowiki/>'s "Our Irish Letter" of 26 June 1897 says,<blockquote>The Duchess of Devonshire’s fancy dress ball on July 2nd is arousing the very greatest interest in all circles. We hear a large number of the very beautiful costumes which will be worn at this dance are being made by Simmons's, the celebrated historical costumiers, 7 and 8, King-street, Covent Garden.<ref>"Our Irish Letter."

Print title same, p. 952.</ref></blockquote>On 3 July 1897, the day after the ball, the ''Belfast News-letter'' says,<blockquote>For weeks past all the leading London dressmakers and costumiers had been hard at work executing the orders for this great ball. At Alias Nathan's, Clarkson's, Auguste's, and Simmons' all hands set to with a will, and it is gratifying to know that the dresses entrusted to them more than held their own with those sent over from Paris.<ref name=":10">"The Duchess of Devonshire's Fancy Dress Ball.

''British Newspaper Archive'' https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/BL/0000038/18970703/015/0005.</ref>{{rp|p. 5, Col. 9a}}</blockquote>
According to the ''Derbyshire Times and Chesterfield Herald'', citing the ''Daily Mail'',
<blockquote>
<p>Lady de Grey is going as Zenobia, and is getting her dress from Doucet, I hear, while Worth also is making a great many costumes; but the greatest number are being made in England. The Duchess of Portland, the Duchess of Hamilton, Lady Mar and Kellie, and [[Social Victorians/People/Muriel Wilson|Miss Muriel Wilson]] are all going to the costumier in Soho-square, and Alias has also been summoned to Marlborough House for a consultation.</p>
<p>Mr. Caryl Craven, who is so clever in such matters, is helping the Duchess of Leeds with her dress; in fact, everyone seems pressed into the service, and the result will be one of the most brilliant sights that ever was seen.<ref name=":11"

{{Short description|Machine learning models designed for natural language processing}}
[[File:LLM-logo.svg|thumb]]
Large language models (LLM's) are software programs that are also known as a form of "artificial intelligence" (AI); LLM's are specifically an aspect of generative AI. This wiki area is for learning, teaching, and research related to LLM's.
{{RightTOC}}
[[Image:Multiple attention heads.png|right|280px|thumb|An illustration of multiple attention heads, each having its own criteria of relevance of other tokens for one of the tokens within the scope of a context window. (For the purpose of illustration, the context window consists of only one sentence.]]
==Discourse and ideas==
Here is discourse and ideas related to large language models. Perhaps once significantly developed/refined, some of these can have their own sub-page or become a unique learning resource.
===Learning wikis as training data===
Unless laws change, Creative Commons content appears to be valid training data for LLM's. As LLM's progress and advance, more and more data can be utilized to training increasingly complex models. Learning wikis devoted to learning, teaching, and resource, that allow for original research and original content creation (related to learning, teaching, and research), can potentially be extremely valuable (in terms of educational value) for large language models. Perhaps in the future (if this does not already exist), large language models will be able to continuously be trained on, retain, and learn from new data and information. Perhaps in the future, an open source large language model could only be trained on Creative Commons data, and therefore, all generated content would also be licensed under Creative Commons.
==Discussion questions==
Here are some learning and teaching oriented discussion questions related to large language models. Humans can use language and mental effort to explore these ideas collaboratively, or some of these could be used as prompts to see how an LLM might respond.
* Would a large language model that is only trained on Creative Commons licensed data only be capable of generating responses to prompts that can also be rightly and correctly licensed under a Creative Commons license?
* How might large language models affect learning and research. Will LLM's eventually seen like calculators are in math and sciences now? But for everything (all subjects/topics, including math, physics, ethics, biology, psychology, chemistry, engineering, art)?
* What are some ethical considerations related to large language models that should be considered?
* What are some pros and cons to open source large language models? Will open source LLM's likely become more advanced the propriety LLM's eventually? What do you think?
* How can large language models help to advance and accelerate technological automation in ways that will benefit all of humanity?
* In what ways can large language models help programmers to code?
* Can music be thought of a language within the realm of large language models?
* What is differentiable computing and how does differentiable computing relate to large language models?
* How can teachers utilize large language models to help accelerate student learning and to help students learn more efficiently?
== Educational prompt ideas==
These are original prompt ideas regarding ways to learn about large language models, and also to explore using LLM's for learning, teaching, and research. Input these into your preferred LLM (without quotes) to see what results are generated. LLM's might produce interesting or useful answers in response to these prompts. Some of these prompts may be interesting or useful for discussions among and between humans.
* "Describe to me how large language models can be utilized for learning, teaching, and research. Do this in an about 200 word two paragraph mini essay. Explain it to me like I am a freshman in community college."
* "Give me a list of 12 ways that large language models can be utilized for learning, teaching, and research."
* "How can LLM's be utilized to accelerate the pace of research and scientific discovery?"
* "What are some ethical considerations related to large language models that should be considered?"
* "What are some pros and cons to open source large language models? Will open source LLM's likely become more advanced the propriety LLM's eventually? What do you think?"
* "What are some project ideas to integrate large language models in with humanoid robots, and/or other sorts of robots? Please give me 15 project ideas that can be relatively simple or extremely complex."
* "Please search the Internet if possible. In what ways have university professors and academic researchers been using large language models in the last year? Please respond in list form."
* "In what ways can large language models help programmers to code? Please provide me 8 examples and respond in list form."
* "Can music be thought of a language within the realm of large language models?"
* "What is differentiable computing and how does differentiable computing relate to large language models?"
* "How can one fine tune an open source large language model?"
* "What are some popular state of the art open source large language models. Please search the internet as helpful and respond to me in list form."
* "Please give me a list of important terminology that I should be aware of when working with and training open source large language models. Please be comprehensive. Please respond in list form. And please search the internet as helpful."
* "What sort of hardware should I utilize to run the most competent open source large language models that I want to utilize for learning, teaching, and research? Please search the internet as helpful."
* "How can teachers utilize large language models to help accelerate student learning and to help students learn more efficiently? Please respond in list form."
* "How can researchers utilize large language models to create theories, hypothesis, and to formulate potential research studies? Please respond in short paragraphs, but in list form."

[https://unitfreak.github.io/Bully-Row-Timestamps/Java_Bully.html Current Bully Timestamp (GitHub)]<br /> </small>
In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:
:<math>16^{12} \times 3,055 \text{ seconds} \approx 27.25 \text{ billion years}</math>
[[File:History-of-the-Universe With Bully Timestamps.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 1: History of the Universe with a few example Bully timestamps shown in red.]]
== Bully timestamp Divisions ==
The Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:
=== First Set ===
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Measures time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:
<div style="background-color: #f0f4f7; padding: 15px; border-left: 5px solid #009688;">

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

== Bully timestamp Divisions ==
The Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:
=== First Set ===
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Measures time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
==== Galactic Weeks ====
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).

=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
==== Galactic year 65 ====
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.

== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

=== First Set ===
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Measures time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.

== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

== Bully timestamp Divisions ==
The Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:
=== First Set ===
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Measures time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23.

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.

== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:
:<math>16^{12} \times 3,055 \text{ seconds} \approx 27.25 \text{ billion years}</math>
[[File:History-of-the-Universe With Bully Timestamps.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 1: History of the Universe with a few example Bully timestamps shown in red.]]
== Bully timestamp Divisions ==
The Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:
=== First Set ===
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Measures time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:
:<math>16^{12} \times 3,055 \text{ seconds} \approx 27.25 \text{ billion years}</math>

== Bully timestamp Divisions ==
The Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:
=== First Set ===
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Measures time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== Galactic year 65 ====
As shown in Figure 5, Galactic Year 65 began 3.8 million years ago during Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== Galactic year 65 ====
As shown in Figure 5, Galactic Year 65 began 3.8 million years ago during Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000. At that time, Sagittarius A* would have appeared to sit at the intersection of the Galactic Plane and the Ecliptic.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.

== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

== Bully timestamp Divisions ==
The Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:
=== First Set ===
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Measures time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== Galactic year 65 ====
As shown in Figure 5, Galactic Year 65 began 3.8 million years ago during Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000. At that time, Sagittarius A* would have appeared to sit at the intersection of the Galactic Plane and the Ecliptic.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.

== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

[[File:History-of-the-Universe With Bully Timestamps.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 1: History of the Universe with a few example Bully timestamps shown in red.]]
== Bully timestamp Divisions ==
The Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:
=== First Set ===
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Measures time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:
:<math>16^{12} \times 3,055 \text{ seconds} \approx 27.25 \text{ billion years}</math>
[[File:History-of-the-Universe With Bully Timestamps.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 1: History of the Universe with a few example Bully timestamps shown in red.]]
== Bully timestamp Divisions ==
The Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:
=== First Set ===
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Measures time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

<div style="background-color: #f0f4f7; padding: 15px; border-left: 5px solid #009688;">

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
==== Galactic year 65 ====
As shown in Figure 5, Galactic Year 65 began 3.8 million years ago during Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000. At that time, Sagittarius A* would have appeared to sit at the intersection of the Galactic Plane and the Ecliptic.
[[File:Bully_Astronomical_Coordinates.slide_4.svg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 5:]]
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
==== Galactic year 65 ====
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn.

==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).

=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).

=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.
[[Bully_Metric_Timestamp_units|Learn More About Contextualized vs Decontextualized time]]
== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== Galactic year 65 ====
As shown in Figure 5, Galactic Year 65 began 3.8 million years ago during Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000. At that time, Sagittarius A* would have appeared to sit at the intersection of the Galactic Plane and the Ecliptic.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.

== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

In the '''Bully Timestamp System''', time is measured using 12-digit [[w:hexadecimal|hexadecimal]] "Bully timestamps," with a new timestamp realized every 3,055 SI seconds (TAI). With 12 hexadecimal digits, the system has a enough unique identifiers to span the entire history of the universe—from the Big Bang into the far-distant future. The total capacity of the system is:

[[File:History-of-the-Universe With Bully Timestamps.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 1: History of the Universe with a few example Bully timestamps shown in red.]]
== Bully timestamp Divisions ==
The Bully system's time range is divided into three distinct sets:
=== First Set ===
* ''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Measures time during the universe's formative period ('''Figure 1'''), spanning roughly 3 billion years beginning with the Big Bang. The following list highlights key events from selected timestamps during this formative era:

=== Third Set ===
* ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'': Begins at precisely 12:00:00 TAI on June 21, 1998, and progresses forward for approximately 13.4 billion years.
==== Realized vs. Estimated Bully timestamps ====
Each Bully timestamp is realized exactly 3055 seconds TAI after the previous one. However, since atomic clocks did not exist prior to the 1950's, any assignment of Bully timestamps prior to 1958 should be viewed as an estimate of how elapsed time might have transpired in the past, rather than an actual realization of Bully time. Bully time should only be considered "realized" when time is measured with an accuracy of <math>{10}^{-10}</math>. There have been over 700,000 realized Bully timestamps during the era of modern atomic time keeping (1958 AD ... present).
[[Bully_Metric_Realized_Timestamps|Learn More About Realized Bully Timestamps]]
=== Relativistic and Cosmological Considerations ===
What does it mean when cosmologists state that the universe is approximately 13.8 billion years old? According to Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, time passes differently for each observer depending on their path through spacetime and the gravitational forces in their vicinity. How, then, can the universe have a single age? Shouldn't its age depend entirely on the observer's frame of reference?
The "age of the universe" cited by cosmologists is actually its maximum possible age. Among all paths an observer could take through spacetime, one specific trajectory maximizes elapsed time. This privileged frame of reference belongs to an observer who remains at rest relative to the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and resides in a region of space with negligible matter. We will refer to this as the "CMB rest frame."
Importantly, Bully timestamps are divided into three distinct sets, with only the first set (''{{mono|0000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|1FFF FFFF FFFF}}'') utilizing the CMB rest frame. Timestamps in the third set (''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|FFFF FFFF FFFF}}'') are realized using atomic clocks at sea level on Earth. Due to relativistic time dilation, these terrestrial clocks run slower than identically constructed clocks placed at rest in empty space. All "realized" Bully timestamps from 1958 to the present conform to Earth's sea-level frame of reference.
Furthermore, the "estimated" Bully timestamps in the second set (''{{mono|2000 0000 0000}}'' — ''{{mono|8209 2800 0000}}'') are typically derived from the radioactive decay of samples found on or within the Earth; thus, these samples decay at a rate comparable to Earth's sea-level frame. The oldest timestamps in this second set come from presolar grains, which formed in different star systems prior to the emergence of our solar system. Because some of these samples may have traveled through space in frames of reference drastically different from Earth's current sea-level frame, the accuracy of these cosmic estimates is inherently limited.

== Galactic Years and Weeks ==
The '''galactic year''', also known as a '''cosmic year''', is the duration of time required for the Sun (or any other star) to orbit once around the center of the Milky Way Galaxy (see Figure 3).
The duration of the galactic year is not a fixed constant, but rather, it depends on the path that a particular star follows as it orbits. Stars closer to the center will orbit much quicker than those on the outer edges.
[[File:Motion_of_Sun,_Earth_and_Moon_around_the_Milky_Way.jpg|frame|center|text-bottom|thumb|Figure 3:]]
Within the context of Bully timestamps, the "bully" galactic year is defined to have a duration of exactly 2<sup>41</sup> Bully timestamps (approximately 213 million years).
=== Galactic Weeks ===
A '''galactic week''' can be thought of as the approximate duration of time required for the Sun to orbit '''6.9 degrees''' around the galactic center (approximately 4.1 million years), so that 52 galactic weeks is equivalent to one galactic year.
The following table (see Figure 4) illustrates the division of one galactic year's worth of Bully timestamps into 52 equal portions. Galactic year "65" begins with Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000 and ends with timestamp 83FF FFFF FFFF.

==== Galactic year 65 ====
As shown in Figure 5, Galactic Year 65 began 3.8 million years ago during Bully timestamp 8200 0000 0000. At that time, Sagittarius A* would have appeared to sit at the intersection of the Galactic Plane and the Ecliptic.

==== The Metonic Cycle ====
The '''Metonic cycle''' is a period of approximately 19 solar years, after which the moon's phases recur on the same days of the year. For example, a New Moon occurred on July 23 in 1998, and nineteen years later, in 2017, a New Moon again occurred on July 23. The last four hex digits of the Bully timestamp cycle approximately three times per Metonic cycle as illustrated in the following list:

== Contextualized vs. Decontextualized Time ==
Local clocks and calendars reflect '''contextualized time''', which uses region-specific offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to align with physical reality. This time is "contextual" because it provides an intuitive sense of conditions at some specific geographic location; for instance, a traveler arriving in London at 4:00 a.m. can instinctively expect darkness and quiet streets. To maintain this alignment with Earth's natural cycles, UTC requires periodic "leaps" (seconds and years). In '''Figure 3''', the light blue line represents Earth's irregular rotation ('''UT1'''), while the dark blue line shows '''UTC''', which is manually adjusted with leap seconds to track UT1.
In contrast, standards such as International Atomic Time ('''TAI'''), Terrestrial Time ('''TT'''), and '''GPS time''' are '''decontextualized'''. They are independent of Earth's rotation, meaning they do not correspond to "true time" at any specific geographical location. Represented by the black lines in '''Figure 3''', these standards track a continuous, uniform interval measured by atomic clocks. This uninterrupted linearity is vital for scientific and technical systems, where the discontinuities introduced by leap seconds could lead to critical errors or system failures.
[[File:Bully Timestamps in relation to modern time keeping.png|frame|center|text-bottom|Figure 3: Modern Time Keeping]]
The various decontextualized standards currently in use are effectively "frozen" in the astronomical conditions present at the time of their deployment. Because long-term changes in Earth's motion are unpredictable, each system launched with a different initial offset. For example, when GPS was launched in 1980, the '''Delta T''' adjustment (TT-UTC) exceeded 51 seconds. In contrast, the 1972 LORAN-C upgrade began with an adjustment closer to 42 seconds. This historical discrepancy results in a permanent nine-second offset between GPS and LORAN-C. Similarly, LORAN-C remains offset from TAI (deployed in 1958) by exactly ten seconds.
The Bully timestamp system, shown on the far-right axis of '''Figure 3''', follows the same uniform, decontextualized logic as TAI and TT but avoids this "legacy offset" confusion. Unlike existing standards, Bully timestamps are not linked to others by a constant, arbitrary time offset. This independence ensures they are uniquely recognizable and impossible to misinterpret.

== Why do we need Bully timestamps? ==
All the timestamps in '''Figure 4''' refer to one single, simultaneous moment in time. The left frame illustrates the fragmentation of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) through time zones. For instance, on June 21, 1998, a UTC time of 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra, Ghana, was simultaneously 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. These time zone offsets are not based on science, but on '''political mandates''' that have resulted in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UTC_offsets 38 distinct UTC offsets], including confusing half- and quarter-hour increments.

==== Legacy Decontextualized Timestamps ====
The decontextualized timestamps (TAI, TT, GPS) in the upper-right frame of '''Figure 4''' attempt to solve the UTC geographic fragmentation problem, yet they remain "cluttered" by Gregorian formatting. Applying a Gregorian date—which is built to track the Sun—to an atomic standard is a '''category error'''. Seeing three different timestamps share the same date while differing by several "leap" seconds is intellectually disorienting because the date has been stripped of its astronomical meaning. In these technical contexts, the Gregorian format is an artificial mask applied for convenience, hiding the true linear nature of time.
For scientific and technical applications, TAI and TT are often expressed via '''Modified Julian Date (MJD)'''—a continuous count of SI days since a fixed epoch. While MJD avoids Gregorian irregularities, it remains "tethered" to the 86,400-second day, a unit that is astronomically meaningless when decontextualized. Similarly, '''GPS time''' relies on a week-based count (since January 6, 1980), forcing a technical system to conform to an arbitrary seven-day cycle. Both systems are cumbersome "hybrids" that attempt to measure linear time using units designed for Earth’s rotation.
==== Decontextualized Bully Timestamps ====
The '''Bully Timestamp''', shown in the lower-right frame of '''Figure 4''', breaks the Gregorian formatting tether. It is a single, unique identifier that applies simultaneously to all locations on Earth because it is never adjusted for geography or orbital drift. For example, Bully timestamp {{mono|8209 2800 0000}} was realized at the exact moment the UTC based clock read 11:59:29 a.m. in Accra and 8:59:29 p.m. in Tokyo. By discarding the baggage of weeks, days, and hours, the Bully timestamp emerges as the least ambiguous format for representing universal, decontextualized time.

== The Foundations of Bully Metric ==
The Bully Timestamp System was derived from the orbital periods of major Solar System bodies. Specifically, the duration of Earth's '''sidereal year''' (~31,558,150 seconds) is roughly equal to <math>10,330 \times 3,055</math> SI seconds. This foundational constant—3,055 seconds—serves as the building block for the Bully timestamp system.
The name "Bully" is a dual-reference to the massive astronomical objects that define our local spacetime. In an archaic sense, "bully" means '''"beautiful" or "excellent,"''' describing the celestial harmony of the cosmos. In the modern sense, it refers to the '''dominance and gravitational influence''' of "bullies" like [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagittarius_A* Sagittarius A*], the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun Sun], and giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. These massive bodies dictate the motion of everything around them, serving as the physical anchors for the Bully Metric system.

== Introduction ==
Mental health continues to be a critically relevant topic as the island nation has experienced decades of [[w:Black_July|violent ethnic conflict]], terrorist attacks, war crimes, and economic disruptions. Sri Lanka has only recently exited the climaxes of a [[w:Sri_Lankan_economic_crisis_(2019–2024)|severe economic crisis in from 2019 to 2024]], a [[w:Sri_Lankan_civil_war|nearly 30-year civil war ending in 2009]], a [[w:2019_Sri_Lanka_Easter_bombings|2019 terrorist attack]], and continues to face the ripple effects of the [[w:2004_Boxing_Day_tsunami|2004 Boxing Day tsunami]]. The exact effect these major events have had on mental health in the country is "unknown", but the statistics remain alarming despite a declining trend.
Suicide rates in the country during the mid-1990s were the second-highest in the world with ingesting toxic products being the main suicide method. Despite the decline in suicide numbers since then—possibly attributed to Sri Lanka's ban on toxic products—evidence from a 2023 study reports an upward trend in suicide through hanging from 2016 to 2021—independent of the [[w:COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sri_Lanka|COVID-19 pandemic]]. Several risk factors for suicide, such as poverty and economic instability, are still prevalent and even increasing in the country to this day<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakse|first=Thilini|last2=Silva|first2=Tharuka|last3=Hettiarachchi|first3=Nirosha Madhuwanthi|last4=Gunnell|first4=David|last5=Metcalfe|first5=Chris|last6=Spittal|first6=Matthew J.|last7=Knipe|first7=Duleeka|date=2023-01-19|title=The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdowns on Self-Poisoning and Suicide in Sri Lanka: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9914278/|journal=International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health|volume=20|issue=3|pages=1833|doi=10.3390/ijerph20031833|issn=1660-4601|pmc=9914278|pmid=36767200}}</ref>.

=== Adoption of a Western-based mental healthcare model and issuances of ordinances ===
In 1839, [[w:James_Alexander_Stewart-Mackenzie|James Alexander Stewart-Mackenzie]], the 7th Governor of British Ceylon, released the Lunacy Ordinance, authorizing municipal authorities to create lunatic asylums for the mentally ill in the country<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=125&lang=en|title=History - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-10}}</ref>. The ordinance was concerned with the legal frameworks of detaining individuals considered dangerous to others or individuals falsely presenting themselves as mentally ill, and not on medical treatments to alleviate the conditions of detained individuals. UK psychiatrist [[w:Edward_Mapother|Edward Mapother]] critiqued the ordinance during his 1937 inspection of British Ceylon's mental health institutions in a series of reports titled ''A Disgrace to a Civilised Community'', remarking that the ordinance "[did] not seem to have contemplated treatment as a contingency to be considered"<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|title=Permeable walls: historical perspectives on hospital and asylum visiting|date=2009|publisher=Rodopi|isbn=978-90-420-2599-8|editor-last=Mooney|editor-first=Graham|series=Clio medica|location=Amsterdam New York, NY|editor-last2=Reinarz|editor-first2=Jonathan}}</ref>.
In 1840, the 1839 Ordinance was repealed and replaced by the 1840 Ordinance. The 1839 Ordinance was almost identical to the 1840 Ordinance, except the removal of two previous requirements: the requirement for official medical diagnoses of the mentally insane and the mandate to maintain adequate staff-to-patient ratios within lunatic asylums<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal|last=Alwis|first=L. A. P. de|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V. L.|last3=Mendis|first3=T. S.

In 1873, a third Ordinance was released. It included linguistic changes, where the term, "insane", was replaced with "of unsound mind". The Ordinance also gave more power to medical professionals in determining insanity diagnoses, and more power to detainees in appealing their commitment to the mental asylum. Despite this Ordinance being the most comprehensive outlook on mental healthcare in the country at the time, the legal frameworks behind the detainment of the criminally insane were left identical to previous ordinances<ref name=":3" />.
=== Development of mental asylums ===
At the time the 1839 ordinance was released, mentally ill patients were placed either in prisons throughout the country or leprosy hospitals, such as the [[w:Hendala_Leprosy_Hospital|Hendala Leprosy Hospital]] in the Gampaha district<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3" />. After the creation of the first mental asylum in Borella in 1846, patients from the Hendala Leprosy Hospital were transferred to the institute in Borella. Overcrowding soon became an issue and patients institutionalized at the Borella mental asylum were sent to prisons across the country. [[File:Edward Mapother.jpg|thumb|A portrait taken of Edward Mapother during his time working at [[w:Maudsley_Hospital|Maudsley Hospital]] in London.
]]
As medical institutions were being made to house the mentally insane, another mental asylum was created in the [[w:Cinnamon_Gardens|Cinnamon Gardens]] area of Colombo in 1884, though this mental asylum faced overcrowding in just one year<ref name=":0" />. Treatment in these asylums was limited to occupational and protection therapy, failing to provide treatment for the root causes of the mental disorders.
In 1926, the Angoda Mental Hospital was established, scantily alleviating the severe overcrowding issues that were plaguing the preceding mental asylums. Despite the addition of 1,700 beds to the facility, treatment was still vastly limited and the patients were left in significantly poor conditions.
=== Edward Mapother's 1937 inspection of British Ceylon ===
Edward Mapother was born in Dublin, Ireland, on July 12, 1881 and moved to London when he was 7 years old<ref>{{Cite book|title=Madness to mental illness: a history of the Royal College of Psychiatrists|last=Bewley|first=Thomas|date=2008|publisher=RCPsych Publications ; Distributed in North America by Balogh International|isbn=978-1-904671-35-0|location=London : [S.l.]}}</ref>. Mapother attained his M.D. in 1908. While Mapother was the Medical Superintendent of Maudsley Hospital in London, England, he was invited to inspect British Ceylon's mental health institutions by Dr S. T. Gunasekara, the first Medical Director of British Ceylon<ref name=":1" />.
In Mapother's visit, he commented that the Angoda Mental Hospital had the atmosphere of "a prison that is neglected and dilapidated"<ref name=":1" />. Overcrowding was still a major issue, with the institute hosting 3,000 patients—more than double the intended capacity. Patients were sleeping on mats and were clearly out of reach of adequate treatment. Mapother also noted that only 4% of public health expenditure in the country was being set for hospitals, drawing a stark comparison to London's 25%<ref name=":1" />. Mapother offered a vivid and grim account of the hospital in his reports:
<blockquote>
The floor, roof and walls of each cell consist alike of drab cement without any attempt at colouring or decoration. High up in one wall is a small window with stout iron bars. In the floor is a large hole into which the patient may pass his motion and urine. These cells are incompletely divided from one another by a partition which does not reach the roof so that the noise and stink from any one cell may reach at least all the others of the same row. Into these empty cells I was informed that the most noisy and troublesome patients in the hospital; were turned at night completely naked. The doors of the cell contain no observation window, and considering the violent character of many of these patients there is every ground for believing that the doors are rarely opened in the night by the solitary attendant on duty. It needs little imagination to picture the suffering of any patient in an early stage of bodily illness passing a night under such conditions, a situation which must frequently arise. I am told that the noise proceeding from this building is like that on a bad night in a menagerie<ref name=":0" />.</blockquote>Mapother proposed a series of reinforcements to the legal, institutional, and medical frameworks of mental health care in British Ceylon. This included the decentralization of the psychiatric services, a reworking of the Lunacy Ordinance to incorporate treatment into the legal framework, and the establishment of a separate service of medical professionals dedicated to psychiatry. Mapother's recommendations led to several of the best local medical professionals to be sent to London for extensive training in psychiatry, while nurses from England were sent to British Ceylon to supervise hospital operations and train local staff<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />.
On August 25, 1938, the Executive Committee of Health approved the strategies proposed by Mapother, though the Government was unable to fully implement all of Mapother's interventions due to the 'heavy cost'. In fact, the Government decided to forego one of his proposals, which was the suggestion of a "Visiting Committee". This committee was tasked to "meet at the hospital, carry out inspections, and make recommendations" to the Executive Committee of Health<ref name=":1" />. The Government realized that deficiencies in their mental healthcare system could prove to be "costly" for their reputation. Mapother was reportedly enraged when he found out. Mapother intended to contact the Secretary of State regarding the "distortion" of his plans, but was interrupted by events preluding to [[w:World_War_II|World War II]]<ref name=":1" />. Mapother passed away on March 20, 1940, without materializing his follow-up plans.
=== Post-Mapother developments and further innovations ===
[[File:Sri Lanka districts Colombo.svg|thumb|A map of Sri Lanka highlighting the Colombo District, where the capital is located.
|right|250px]]Mapother's insights on the mental healthcare structure in British Ceylon proved to be the catalyst of massive renovations. In 1939, the first outpatient clinic was established in the [[w:National_Hospital_of_Sri_Lanka|National Hospital of Sri Lanka]] in Colombo. The first trained Ceylonese psychiatrists began practice in the 1940s, leading to the establishment of the first neuropsychiatric clinic in Colombo in 1943. Treatments for the mentally ill improved dramatically, as protectional therapy expanded to [[w:insulin_shock_therapy|insulin shock therapy]] and [[w:Electroconvulsive_therapy|cardiazol convulsive therapy]]<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Kathriarachchi|first=Samudra T.|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V.

Mapother's advocation for the decentralization of services were further honored through the 1947 establishment of a first child guidance clinic in Colombo General Hospital<ref name=":0" />.
In 1948, British Ceylon was granted independence from the British after the [[w:Sri_Lankan_independence_movement|Sri Lankan independence movement]]. Changes in the mental healthcare structure were not immediate following independence, but rapid expansions of mental healthcare services were still ongoing.
The following decades saw positive institutional developments, such as the creation of a second hospital in [[w:Mulleriyawa|Mulleriyawa]] in 1957, and the creation of a psychiatric inpatient unit in Colombo General Hospital in 1967—effectively granting the city of Colombo the luxury of hosting the top psychiatric care in the country<ref name=":5">{{Cite book|url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|title=Mental Health System Development in Sri Lanka|last=Minas|first=Harry|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Hall|first3=Teresa|date=2017|publisher=Springer US|isbn=978-1-4899-7997-1|editor-last=Minas|editor-first=Harry|location=Boston, MA|pages=59–77|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|editor-last2=Lewis|editor-first2=Milton}}</ref>. The 1950s was also the start of psychopharmacological innovations, with the introduction of [[w:Lithium_(medication)|lithium]] and long-acting injectable antipsychotics ([[w:Depot_injection|depot]] [[w:Antipsychotic|neuroleptics]]) in the succeeding years<ref name=":4" />. Additionally, the number of public psychiatrist positions increased by 400% from 1953 to 1967<ref name=":5" />.
After 1960, mental health services were being established beyond the capital to other cities in the country<ref name=":2" />.
In 1980, the [[w:Postgraduate_Institute_of_Medicine|Postgraduate Institute of Medicine]] began a program where students would enroll in a 5-year medical course and attain an MD in psychiatry, curbing the need for Sri Lankan medical students to be sent abroad to complete their training. Many of the medical students sent abroad for training never returned to Sri Lanka to practice, resulting in a "1:500,000 to 1000,000" ratio of psychiatrists to patients on "most occasions"<ref name=":0" />.
=== Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956 ===
In 1956, the 1873 Ordinance was revised a second time and renamed the "Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956"<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6">{{Cite journal|last=Hapangama|first=Aruni|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Kuruppuarachchi|first3=K. a.

As of 2025, the current director of the Directorate of Mental Health is Dr. Chithramalee de Silva<ref name=":2" />.
On November 11, 2005, the Mental Health Policy was approved by the Government of Sri Lanka, advocating for establishments of more de-centralized, community-based mental health services across the country beyond the capital (Colombo).

The policy also included a new position, the "Medical Officer of Mental Health", who oversees and assists in the implementation of community-based mental health services<ref name=":0" />. This same year, the Sri Lankan government began implementing psychological services in state institutions, such as the military<ref name=":8" />.

As of 2025, the Mental Health Act (mental health legislation) has been undergoing development since 2005 and is currently awaiting to be considered for the final stage of approval. This is expected to replace the 1956 Mental Health Ordinance<ref name=":7" />.
Currently, there are 7 tertiary care hospitals, 61 adult patient units, 3 child inpatient units, and 1 forensic unit.

Despite the impressive advancements in mental healthcare in the last couple of decades, Sri Lanka still suffers significant mental health issues due to increasing poverty levels in the country.

== Impact of Conflicts, Terrorism, Political Instability & Natural Disasters ==
=== Sri Lankan Civil War ===
The '''Sri Lankan Civil War''' was a domestic conflict that took place between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (abbreviated as the ''LTTE),'' a militant group formed in the 1970s as a result of rising tensions between the majority Sinhalese and minority Tamil population. The group is considered a terrorist organization<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.start.umd.edu/baad/database/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-ltte-1998.html|title=BAAD - Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) - 1998 {{!}} START.umd.edu|website=www.start.umd.edu|access-date=2025-06-09}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-aka-tamil-tigers-sri-lanka-separatists|title=Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (aka Tamil Tigers) (Sri Lanka, separatists) {{!}} Council on Foreign Relations|last=Bhattacharji|first=Preeti|website=www.cfr.org|language=en|access-date=2025-06-09}}</ref>. Through brutal massacres, assassinations, and suicide bombings, the LTTE waged decades of terror which led to civilian displacement, infrastructure collapse, and the reduction of mental health services available in the northern region.[[File:DFID-funded, UNHCR emergency shelter tents, in the IDP camp at Menik Farm, Sri Lanka (3694081492).jpg|thumb|350x350px|An IDP camp in Menik Farm, Sri Lanka in 2009 ([https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-19703826 now closed]).

In 2002, the humanitarian organization [https://www.msf.org/ Médecins Sans Frontières] (MSF) performed an investigation of mental health needs in the [[w:Vavuniya|Vavuniya]] area, the site of intense conflict during the civil war (including the [[w:1985_Vavuniya_massacre|1985 Vavuniya massacre]]), and found that many of the residents suffered from high suicide rates, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, grief, and a "sense of ‘learnt helplessness’"<ref name=":5" />.

Alongside the oppression by the Sri Lankan military, the Vanni population also endured the brutal theatrics of the LTTE, which recruited men, women, and even children with minimal training, effectively rendering them cannon fodder.
Over 200,000 Tamil civilians were moved into [[w:Internally_displaced_persons_in_Sri_Lanka|designated displacement camps during the war]], where conditions were abysmal<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dissanayake|first=Lasith|last2=Jabir|first2=Sameeha|last3=Shepherd|first3=Thomas|last4=Helliwell|first4=Toby|last5=Selvaratnam|first5=Lavan|last6=Jayaweera|first6=Kaushalya|last7=Abeysinghe|first7=Nihal|last8=Mallen|first8=Christian|last9=Sumathipala|first9=Athula|date=2023-08-31|title=The aftermath of war; mental health, substance use and their correlates with social support and resilience among adolescents in a post-conflict region of Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/s13034-023-00648-1|journal=Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health|language=en|volume=17|issue=1|pages=101|doi=10.1186/s13034-023-00648-1|issn=1753-2000}}</ref>. The suicide rate in these displacement camps were three times the community-level (2002), with a ratio of 103.5 per 10,000 compared to the Sri Lankan general population's rate of 37.5 per 10,000. Almost all suicide attempts involved poisonous substances. Other forms of violence included domestic violence and child abuse. Local health officials in Vavuniya admitted that mental health concerns were a major problem, but were unable to address these concerns due to a lack of resources and support from the government. During the [[wikipedia:Sri_Lankan_civil_war#2002_peace_process_(2002%E2%80%932006)|brief 2002 ceasefire]], the MSF implemented a "community-based programme" which included "increasing awareness, community strengthening, reinforcing coping-strategies for long-term war-affected communities, and counselling".

'''Post-war'''
[[File:Puttalam district.svg|left|thumb|Puttalam District, unlike its northern counterparts, was largely spared from the intense conflict, possibly explaining the lower rates of common mental disorders (CMDs).]]
The first district-wide cross-sectional multistage cluster sample survey was conducted in the [[w:Jaffna_District|Jaffna District]] shortly after the war ended. The study's sample included 1517 households and 2 internally displaced peoples camps. With a response rate of 92%, the study found that symptoms for PTSD were found in 7% of participants, symptoms of anxiety were found in 32.6% of participants, and symptoms of depression were found in 22.2% of participants. 2% of respondents were currently placed in internally displaced peoples camps at the time of the study, 29.5% were freshly resettled from the internally displaced peoples camps, and the rest of the participants (68.5%) were never placed into camps. In comparison to residents who were never placed into camps, participants that were actively held in camps tend to report more symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The researchers also found that women were especially vulnerable to deteriorating mental health conditions. This was explained by two factors: women having to assume the roles of both the father and the mother in the family setting after the, either voluntary or forced, departure of the husband to war, and sexist violence<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Husain|first=Farah|last2=Anderson|first2=Mark|last3=Lopes Cardozo|first3=Barbara|last4=Becknell|first4=Kristin|last5=Blanton|first5=Curtis|last6=Araki|first6=Diane|last7=Kottegoda Vithana|first7=Eeshara|date=2011-08-03|title=Prevalence of War-Related Mental Health Conditions and Association With Displacement Status in Postwar Jaffna District, Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2011.1052|journal=JAMA|volume=306|issue=5|pages=522–531|doi=10.1001/jama.2011.1052|issn=0098-7484}}</ref>.

Muslims in Northern Sri Lanka during the conflict also faced violence and discrimination, most notably [[w:Expulsion_of_Muslims_from_the_Northern_Province_of_Sri_Lanka|the October 1990 expulsion of Muslims from the North to the Puttalam District or Jaffna]] and the [[w:Kattankudy_mosque_massacre|1990 Kattankudy mosque massacre]]. The only study testing the displaced Muslim population post-civil war was completed in 2011, where a cross-sectional survey of 450 internally displaced people or people born into displacement (ages 18 - 65) revealed 18.8% of the sample suffering from common mental health disorders (CMD), including [[w:Somatoform_disorder|somatoform disorder]] (14%), "other depressive syndromes" (7.3%), major depression (5.1%), and anxiety disorder (2.8%). The percentages found in this study for somatoform disorder and major depression were "considerably higher" than the national percentages, though the researchers noted that the prevalence of CMD was lower in comparison to other countries marred with conflict, including Palestine (40.3%) and Ethiopia (27.8%). The researchers explained that the lower rate of CMD may be attributed to the [[w:Puttalam_District|serenity of the post-settlement destination]], as conflict was mainly centered in the North and East.

A survey conducted on schoolchildren (ages 8-14) in Manadkadu (Tamil-majority village in the northern coast), [[w:Kosgoda|Kosgoda]] (western coast), and [[w:Galle|Galle]] (southern coast), just a few weeks after the tsunami hit Sri Lanka, revealed that 33.8%, 13.9%, and 38.8% of children interviewed exhibited signs of PTSD (according to the DSM-IV's criteria), respectively (minus the time criteria, as the DSM-IV does not permit diagnosis of PTSD within 4 weeks of a traumatic incident).

Many victims in the Jaffna area suffered with "[https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/prolonged-grief-disorder pathological grief], phobias, depression and PTSD" post-tsunami. Schizophrenia in the Jaffna Tamil community, which had already suffered elevated prevalence of PTSD prior to the tsunami, had worsened—highlighting the need for specialized care in response to cumulative exposures to chronic and acute traumas. In a study published in the journal ''International Psychiatry'' (2006), Jaffna-based researchers noted that, contrary to their initial inclinations, there was not a "large[r] (than expected) rise in [the] number of people" seeking mental health support 3 months after the tsunami. However, 10 months after the disaster, the researchers anticipated that "more psychiatric disorders" would emerge due to "very little rebuilding [efforts]" and an apparent "unfairness in the aid system".<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Somasundaram|first=D.

At the February 2005 ''After the Tsunami: Mental Health Challenges to the Community for Today and Tomorrow'' conference in Thailand, [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Chandanie-Hewage Dr. Chandanie Hewage] of the [[w:University_of_Ruhuna|University of Ruhuna]] reported measures taken to assist the affected were "not coordinated" due to poor "communication systems and road [conditions]", which were disrupted by the Boxing Day tsunami. Regardless, efforts were continued by the government and health professionals to alleviate the struggles the victims were facing, including the psychological ramifications of the disaster.
Several issues in the delivery of these services were highlighted by Dr. Hewage, including poor maintenance of health records, lack of awareness on drug consumption by the patients themselves, and shortages of health professionals. Dr. Hewage points out that personnel had "little" mental health training prior to the disaster, suggesting increased "research" and adequate "provision[ing] and training of staff" in the long-term<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Davidson|first=Jonathan R.

With inadequate documentation, no systematic procedures in place, and insufficient personnel, tsunami victims with mental health concerns may not receive the services they need, further compacting neuropsychological ailments.
In 2008 (about 3-4 years after the tsunami), researchers in the hard-hit village of [[w:Peraliya|Peraliya]] (Galle District) found that from a sample of approximately 90 adults, 25% suffered from moderate–severe PTSD, with women scoring "above the cut-off for anxiety" and reporting more "somatic symptoms", though researchers inferred that the PTSD rate found in the study may be influenced by war or economic hardship<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hollifield|first=Michael|last2=Hewage|first2=Chandanie|last3=Gunawardena|first3=Charlotte N.|last4=Kodituwakku|first4=Piyadasa|last5=Bopagoda|first5=Kalum|last6=Weerarathnege|first6=Krishantha|last7=Group|first7=International Post-Tsunami Study|date=2008-01|title=Symptoms and coping in Sri Lanka 20–21 months after the 2004 tsunami|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/the-british-journal-of-psychiatry/article/symptoms-and-coping-in-sri-lanka-2021-months-after-the-2004-tsunami/CB33752239AF362A0BFD55B3668D60B0|journal=The British Journal of Psychiatry|language=en|volume=192|issue=1|pages=39–44|doi=10.1192/bjp.bp.107.038422|issn=0007-1250}}</ref>.
=== 2019 Easter Bombings ===
The '''2019 Easter Bombings''' were a series of coordinated attacks perpetrated by the Islamic extremist group, [[w:National_Thowheeth_Jama'ath|National Thowheeth Jama'ath]], on April 21, 2019. The attack targeted three churches and three hotels in the Colombo area, killing nearly 300 people and injuring over 500. The attack was also attributed to the incompetency of the Sri Lankan government, who ignored [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48044636 multiple warnings regarding the attacks]. The attacks negatively affected the Sri Lankan Catholic community and further weakened relations between the major religious groups<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jayawickreme|first=Nuwan|last2=Jayawickreme|first2=Eranda|last3=McCaffrey|first3=Amy Z.|last4=Thiruvarangan|first4=Mahendran|date=2025-06-01|title=Mental health futures in post-war Sri Lanka: Resilience, relational pluralism, and implementation pathways|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666560325000775|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100465|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100465|issn=2666-5603}}</ref>.

In a qualitative study of 8 survivors of the attacks receiving grief counseling, [[w:University_of_Ruhuna|University of Ruhuna]] assistant professor [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Virasha-Godakanda Virasha Godakanda] observed that 70% of the sample size expressed "doubts" in adequate mental health interventions from the government, reducing the quality of such services.

A few weeks following the attacks, Muslims in Sri Lanka were subjected to [[w:2019_anti-Muslim_riots_in_Sri_Lanka|violent, coordinated riots]] masterminded by Sinhalese national forces<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Mujahidin|first=Muhammad Saekul|date=2023-07-03|title=Extremism and Islamophobia Against the Muslim Minority in Sri Lanka|url=https://www.ajis.org/|journal=American Journal of Islam and Society|language=en|volume=40|issue=1-2|pages=213–241|doi=10.35632/ajis.v40i1-2.3135|issn=2690-3741}}</ref>.

Albeit its relevancy to the attacks, no in-depth mental health studies were administered on the minority Muslim population following the Easter bombings. Further research is imperative in exploring the sustained psychological effects of Islamophobia and its effect on the Muslim minority community in the aftermath of the 2019 Easter attacks.
Literature regarding the impact of the 2019 Easter Bombings on mental health are limited and further research should be done in the field.
=== 2019-2024 Economic Crisis ===
The '''2019-2024 Economic Crisis''' refers to a 5 year period where the Sri Lankan economy experienced massive inflation and an abrupt hike in prices on basic, everyday items. It is the worse economic crisis the country has faced since the Sri Lankans were granted independence in 1948. Schools in Sri Lanka were forced to postpone examinations due to paper shortages. Gas shortages led to long lines at gas stations, some lasting for days, throughout the island. Shortages in electricity, cooking gas, and aviation were additional results of the economic crisis.
Healthcare workers faced a barrage of mental health during the crisis, including a lopsided work-life balance due to unprecedented demand, increased stress and mental fatigue from a lack of resources and personnel, unhealthy coping mechanisms, job dissatisfaction, and a reduction in work quality. Such effects perpetuate a self-enforcing cycle of psychologically distressed mental healthcare workers providing subpar services, affecting patients and amplifying mental health issues experienced by both the workforce and their patients<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dilogini|first=S.|last2=Grace|first2=H.

Medical students from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Colombo reported that the economic crisis forced abrupt changes in dietary consumption, increased hopelessness in the future, increased stress and anxiety, and a decrease in interest in pursuing a "clinical post-graduate career"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Adikaranayake|first=Pesala Randika|last2=Perera|first2=Anusha Nimrod|last3=Nilaweera|first3=Akhila Imantha|last4=Fernando|first4=Desha Rajni|last5=Wijayaratne|first5=Dilushi Rowena|date=2025-07-01|title=Effects of Sri Lankan economic crisis on health, lifestyle and education of medical students in Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo – an online survey|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-025-07506-y|journal=BMC Medical Education|language=en|volume=25|issue=1|pages=938|doi=10.1186/s12909-025-07506-y|issn=1472-6920|pmc=12211748}}</ref>. 283 government-school teachers completed a web-based cross-sectional survey in April 2024, with majority of the participants reporting a severe reduction in monthly income & 1/3 of participants exhibiting "clinical levels of psychological distress"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Senevirathne|first=C.

A study published in that same year reported that out of 261 nurses working in teaching hospitals, 91.6% were forced to allocate their finances to strictly "general needs", while more than 50% looked into international opportunism for employment. Notably, the study reported an overall near "twofold greater" rate of depression, anxiety, and stress compared to previously conducted studies on nurses<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Senevirathne|first=C.P|last2=Senarathne|first2=L.|last3=Fernando|first3=M.|date=2024-04-01|title=Exploring the Association Between Behavioural Modification in Response to the Prevailing Economic Crisis and Mental Health Outcomes of Nurses from Teaching Hospitals, Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1177/23779608241272679|journal=SAGE Open Nursing|language=EN|volume=10|pages=23779608241272679|doi=10.1177/23779608241272679|issn=2377-9608|pmc=11311183}}</ref>.
The detrimental effects the crisis has had on the mental health sector reveal a concerning area of underappreciation and under compensation by the Sri Lankan government towards a critical sector for the well-being of the country. Comprehensive mental health interventions need to be prepared and ready to implement at times of national emergencies.
== Present-Day Challenges ==
=== Ethnic tension ===
Despite the end of the Sri Lankan civil war and the introduction of pluralist policies, such as the [https://srilankaembassy.fr/sites/default/files/files/media/pdf/NationalPolicy-English.pdf 2017 National Policy on Reconciliation and Coexistence] under the Sirisena administration, tensions amongst members of the ethnic groups still persist in the country. Evidence of these tensions was found through a 2022 study conducted in the Ratnapura district, where religious leaders expressed skepticisms, through semi-structured interviews, for "conflict transformation". A Tamil citizen of the Ratnapura community recounted that they were forced to "hide in jungles" and consume "dirty water in drainage[s]" due to scarcity of food and drinkable water as a result of the conflict. In certain personal accounts, ethnic conflicts appear to affect the social behavior and identity of the majority ethnic group. One Sinhala participant recounted his objection to the war-time retaliatory destruction of a shop run by a Tamil shopkeeper was met with interrogative questions about "whether [he was] Sinhalese or not". Both accounts convey interethnic tensions stemming from decade-long conflicts<ref>Jayathilaka, Aruna & Gamage, Sayuri. (2024). Role of Buddhist and Hindu Religious Leaders Role of Buddhist and Hindu Religious Leaders in the Post-War Conflict Transformation Process: A Study Based on Rathnapura District in Srilanka. ''Retrieved from'' https://gandhimargjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Volume-46-Issue-1-April-June-2024.pdf#page=66</ref>.
Beyond individual accounts and the official end of the civil war, the minority groups in the country continue to feel ostracized. The Sri Lankan Tamil population remains dissatisfied with the Sri Lankan government and their accountability of perpetrators of war crimes and information on the whereabouts of [[w:Enforced_disappearances_in_Sri_Lanka|thousands of enforced disappearances]] that took place from the 1980s. Additionally, rising anti-Muslim sentiment in recent years contribute to increased ethnic tensions, a stark contrast to the previous centuries of peaceful co-existence between the groups.
[[File:Bodu Bala Sena symbol.svg|thumb|The symbol for Bodu Bala Sena, a nationalistic Sinhala Buddhist group criticized for catalyzing ethnic tensions in Sri Lanka.]]
Laws passed by the Sri Lankan government, such as the [[w:Prevention_of_Terrorism_Act_(Sri_Lanka)|Prevention of Terrorism Act]] and [[wikipedia:Anti-conversion_law#Sri_Lanka|anti-conversion laws]], have forced the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom to label Sri Lanka as a nation that "[engages] or [tolerates] severe violations of religious freedom" in their 2024 report. The government has been criticized by human rights organizations for "disproportionately targeting religious minorities"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jayawickreme|first=Nuwan|last2=Jayawickreme|first2=Eranda|last3=McCaffrey|first3=Amy Z.|last4=Thiruvarangan|first4=Mahendran|date=2025-06-01|title=Mental health futures in post-war Sri Lanka: Resilience, relational pluralism, and implementation pathways|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666560325000775|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100465|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100465|issn=2666-5603}}</ref>. Additionally, the implementation of the three dominant languages, English, Sinhala, and Tamil, across formal education and government services have been lackadaisical, narrowing opportunities of foundational social interactions between the groups. Persistent discrimination and prejudice towards minority groups can lead to an array of complex and self-deprecating mental health issues.
Effort to mitigate ethnic tensions include strategies like [[w:Community-based_participatory_research|community-based participatory research]] (CBPR), task-sharing, and securing online mental health services in order to expand mental health services. However, the implementation of evidence-based plans has been met with difficulty due to inaccessibility, high costs, and shortages of adequately-trained personnel.
Movements aiming for improved intra group and inter group coexistences, such as the Jaffna People’s Forum for Coexistence developed in the wake of the 2019 Easter bombings, should be emphasized on a systematic and multi-level basis, including but not limited to education, public sectors, and within communities. Pluralistic values should be stressed across both private and public schools to foster cultural sensitivity and tolerance. Measures should be taken against threatening extremist groups promoting sectarian hostility, such as the [[w:Bodu_Bala_Sena|Bodu Bala Sena]].
=== Poverty ===
It has been proven that poverty significantly increases the chances of developing mental illnesses. This is further amplified by possible discrimination<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Knifton|first=Lee|last2=Inglis|first2=Greig|date=2020-10|title=Poverty and mental health: policy, practice and research implications|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7525587/|journal=BJPsych bulletin|volume=44|issue=5|pages=193–196|doi=10.1192/bjb.2020.78|issn=2056-4694|pmc=7525587|pmid=32744210}}</ref>. Poverty also affects the ability for individuals with mental health concerns to receive the treatment they need. Due to the repercussions of the economic crisis, clients in Sri Lanka could not attend further counseling sessions<ref name=":8" />. Poverty from 2021 to 2022 [https://databankfiles.worldbank.org/public/ddpext_download/poverty/987B9C90-CB9F-4D93-AE8C-750588BF00QA/current/Global_POVEQ_LKA.pdf reportedly doubled], with future forecasts predicting the poverty line to "remain above 25 percent". Suicide has been empirically linked to economic hardships in previous studies<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kithulagoda|first=A. S.|last2=Gunasinghe|first2=U. C. M.|last3=Senevirathna|first3=J. M. M.

The Sri Lankan government should consider the economical impacts that poverty has on mental health and implement ways to aid poverty-stricken individuals with mental health concerns.
=== Stigmas ===
Stigma consists of the "combined effect of prejudice, ignorance and discrimination."<ref name=":10">{{Cite web|url=http://www.researchgate.net/publication/233990797_The_Stigma_of_Mental_Illness_in_Sri_Lanka_The_Perspectives_of_Community_Mental_Health_Workers|title=(PDF) The Stigma of Mental Illness in Sri Lanka: The Perspectives of Community Mental Health Workers|website=ResearchGate|language=en|access-date=2025-07-25}}</ref>.
A 2012 interview consisting of nine participants (two doctors, three nurses, one occupational therapist, one development worker, and two volunteers) revealed a number of concerning societal viewpoints on individuals with mental health concerns. The interviews revealed that negative judgements were not only levied against the individual with the mental illness, but also the family. Families hid mentally ill family members from the public to avoid "shame" and possible hinderances in marriage proposals. Views that mentally ill individuals were "violent" served as the motivating factor behind socially isolating those with mental illness from their communities. Interviewees mentioned that individuals dealing with mental health challenges would have stones and "derogatory names" launched at them. A lack of community awareness regarding mental health and negative portrayals of mentally ill individuals in media exacerbates stigmatization, though the researchers commented that the media was "improving" in their depiction of mental illness. Beliefs that illnesses are caused by "spirits" can be problematic for individuals dealing with mental health issues and serves as evidence to poor mental health awareness in the country. Mental health workers themselves believed that they were being stigmatized, as mental health is reportedly not taken as seriously as physical health. Despite the intriguing perspectives provided, the small sample size and usage of snow sampling raise questionable concerns regarding the contextualization of the results<ref name=":10" />.
Improving media portrayal of subjects concerning mental health and involving community members in interventions dealing with mental health issues are ways that could destigmatize mental health amongst communities in Sri Lanka. Tying collaborations between allopathic services and traditional healers instead of having these two services work individually could enhance engagement between traditional medicine and Western medicine.
=== Suicide Trends & Risk Factors ===
Suicide is defined as "the act of killing oneself deliberately, initiated and performed by the person concerned in the full knowledge or expectation of its fatal outcome"<ref name=":11">{{Cite book|title=The neuroscience of suicidal behavior|last=Heeringen|first=Kees van|date=2018|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-316-60290-4|series=Cambridge fundamentals of neuroscience in psychology|location=Cambridge, United Kingdom New York, NY, USA Port Melbourne, VIC, Australia New Delhi, India Singapore}}</ref>. Although Sri Lanka has seen a significant reduction in suicide rates from the mid 1990s due to its banning of extremely toxic pesticide products, suicide and self harm remains a significant issue. The suicide rate per 100,000 people increased from 14.0 in 2019 to [https://www.who.int/srilanka/news/detail/06-09-2024-world-suicide-prevention-day-2024--changing-the-narrative-on-suicide 15.0 in 2022] (according to WHO). On average, 27 males per 100,000 males and 5 females per 100,000 females committed suicide in 2022<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kithulagoda|first=A. S.|last2=Gunasinghe|first2=U. C.

From 2023 to 2024, a group of researchers from the [[w:Eastern_University,_Sri_Lanka|Eastern University in Sri Lanka]] assessed 828 patients admitted to the Teaching Hospital in [[w:Batticaloa,_Sri_Lanka|Batticaloa, Sri Lanka]] for attempted suicide. They concluded that suicide prevention programs should be attuned to younger people (ages 15 to 35 in the study), emphasize the importance of education and reducing unemployment, and increase social support in the Tamil community. Despite the relevant insights into certain aspects of an average Sri Lankan's life that could lead to suicidal ideation (ie, poverty), the results from this study suffer in external validity as 90% of the patients were Tamil and over 50% were between 16 and 25 years. In addition, correlations between suicide and unemployment rates have been questioned, with [[w:Austerity|austerity]] being a more reliable indicator of suicide rates than unemployment rates<ref name=":11" />. Further comprehensive studies on risk factors relating to suicide should be studied to assess correlations between unemployment rates and austerity measures.
The WHO suggests implementing evidence-based suicide prevention programs, such as [https://www.who.int/initiatives/live-life-initiative-for-suicide-prevention LIVE LIFE], to reduce the national suicide rate<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.who.int/srilanka/news/detail/06-09-2024-world-suicide-prevention-day-2024--changing-the-narrative-on-suicide|title=World Suicide Prevention day 2024 “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”|website=www.who.int|language=en|access-date=2025-07-29}}</ref>. Media potrayals of suicidal methods, such as hanging, can lead to sensationalism and the media should be cautious of such displays in movies and TV shows<ref name=":12" />. Awareness of depression and other mental health issues can serve as a safeguard against suicidal ideation in Sri Lankan men and women.
== Role of Religion ==
According to the last demographic report (2012), 70.2% of Sri Lankans are Buddhist, 12.6% are Hindus, 9.7% are Muslims, and 7.4% are Christians. The Theravada Buddhist community makes up the majority in several provinces throughout the country<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-religious-freedom/sri-lanka/|title=Sri Lanka|website=United States Department of State|language=en-US|access-date=2025-08-07}}</ref>. Religion, especially Theravada Buddhism, has had a significant influence on not only the historical treatment of mental health in the country, but also everyday life<ref name=":15" />. The [[w:Mahāvaṃsa|''Mahāvaṃsa'']] affirms hospitals treating patients suffering from mental health issues as early as the 4th century BC. Additionally, the 1700s Nayaka king [[w:Kirti_Sri_Rajasinha|Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe]] detailed the implementation of Buddhist philosophy in psychiatry<ref name=":4" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Alwis|first=L.

Modern-day empirical studies have attested to the usefulness of religion in mitigating stress and elevating mental health<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-4276-5_22|title=Religion and Mental Health|last=Schieman|first=Scott|last2=Bierman|first2=Alex|last3=Ellison|first3=Christopher G.|date=2013|publisher=Springer Netherlands|isbn=978-94-007-4276-5|editor-last=Aneshensel|editor-first=Carol S.|location=Dordrecht|pages=457–478|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-94-007-4276-5_22|editor-last2=Phelan|editor-first2=Jo C.|editor-last3=Bierman|editor-first3=Alex}}</ref>. Religion has been found to be positively correlated with improved mental health, and more religious patients were concluded to have "better mental health and adapt[ed] more quickly to health problems" versus patients who weren't religious<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Koenig|first=Harold G.|date=2012|title=Religion, spirituality, and health: the research and clinical implications|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3671693/|journal=ISRN psychiatry|volume=2012|pages=278730|doi=10.5402/2012/278730|issn=2090-7966|pmc=3671693|pmid=23762764}}</ref>. [https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/T-N-Wickramarathna-2247724082 Dr. Wickramarathna] of the University Psychiatry Unit (UPU) at the National Hospital of Sri Lanka (NHSL) argues that psychiatrists must strive for a balance in their approach to patients and "make positive use of religion in [their] practice[s]"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Wickramarathna|first=T.

=== Buddhism ===
27 Sinhalese Buddhists from four Buddhist temples were selected for a series of 70-minute interviews and focus group discussions with the aim of learning the Sinhala Buddhist understanding and experience of spiritual well-being and psychological well-being. The interviewees held spiritual wellness to be the "center" of overall wellness, the "precondition for a successful life"<ref name=":14">{{Cite journal|last=Udayanga|first=Samitha|date=2021-06-30|title=Cultural understanding of ‘spiritual well-being’ and ‘psychological well-being’ among Sinhalese Buddhists in Sri Lanka|url=https://sljss.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Social Sciences|language=en-US|volume=44|issue=1|doi=10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|issn=0258-9710}}</ref>. Sinhala Buddhists believe that wellness cannot be achieved without spiritual tranquility. The report states that participants emphasized that spirituality "cannot be directly intervened" and can only be seen through "[interactions] with society"<ref name=":14" />. Despite the ''athmaya'' (soul) being "unreachable", it can be "intervened", or treated, through the actions of the mind and body with society<ref name=":14" />. One being "psychologically ill" can affect one's spiritual being, as the participants reported in their interviews, and can be affected through "lifestyle stressors, environmental and socio-cultural causes, non-human related causes and bad-karma in the past lives"<ref name=":14" />.
The researchers concluded that despite Sinhala Buddhists not being able to articulately decipher the discrepancies between psychological well-being and spiritual well-being, they are able to conceptualize and maintain a culturally embedded understanding between the two, serving as reputable evidence of the integration of mental health in Sinhala Buddhist practices. However, it is important to note that these results come from a very small sample size and cannot be generalized to all Sri Lankan Buddhists.
In addition, a 2009 study found that a belief in karma was correlated with poor health. However, an earlier study found a positive correlation between the reliance on the [[w:Karma_in_Buddhism|Buddhist concept of karma]] and trauma, inferencing Buddhist karma being a prevalent response to trauma<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Levy|first=Becca R.|last2=Slade|first2=Martin D.|last3=Ranasinghe|first3=Padmini|date=2009-03|title=Causal thinking after a tsunami wave: karma beliefs, pessimistic explanatory style and health among Sri Lankan survivors|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19229624|journal=Journal of Religion and Health|volume=48|issue=1|pages=38–45|doi=10.1007/s10943-008-9162-5|issn=1573-6571|pmid=19229624}}</ref>. Overall, the effectiveness of karma as a coping mechanism appears to be conflicted.
Studies indicate that other practices of Buddhism seem to be utilized by individuals affected by the war. 40% of Sri Lankan Buddhists affected by the 2004 tsunami found the Buddhist ritual ''Bodhipuja'' to be helpful in dealing with traumatic experiences<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jmvh.org/article/mental-health-and-the-role-of-cultural-and-religious-support-in-the-assistance-of-disabled-veterans-in-sri-lanka/|title=Mental Health and the Role of Cultural and Religious Support in the Assistance of Disabled Veterans in Sri Lanka|website=JMVH|language=en-US|access-date=2025-08-12}}</ref>.
=== Catholicism ===
Catholic counseling refers to "a nuanced and holistic mental health care paradigm that intricately weaves together psychological science with the moral, spiritual, and pastoral traditions of the Catholic Church"<ref name=":13">Perera, U. [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Udeshini-Perera/publication/394095042_Catholic_Counselling_in_Sri_Lanka_Integrating_Faith_Psychology_and_Cultural_Healing/links/6889303af8031739e6098c79/Catholic-Counselling-in-Sri-Lanka-Integrating-Faith-Psychology-and-Cultural-Healing.pdf Catholic Counselling in Sri Lanka: Integrating Faith, Psychology, and Cultural Healing]. July 2025.</ref> and aims to assimilate Catholic theology and evidence-based psychological treatment while including Sri Lankan cultural elements. This is achieved through emphasis on community cohesion and a locally-based understanding of "personhood"<ref name=":13" />.
The origins of Catholic counseling trace back to the introduction of Roman Catholicism to the island in the 1600s, with the focus of the early Sri Lankan Catholic community being on "[[w:Evangelism|evangelization]], education, and sacramental formation". Demand for counseling services in general increased due to the impacts of the Sri Lankan Civil War, where Catholic organizations (Caritas Sri Lanka, Seth Sarana, Subodhi Integral Centre (Piliyandala), etc.) established several Catholic-based trauma-informed programmes for victims of the Civil War. Programmes use group therapy, forgiveness rituals, and narrative repairs to alleviate war trauma.
Examples of integration of Catholic virtues and counseling can be seen in [[w:Cognitive_Behavioral_Therapy|Cognitive Behavioral Therapy]] (CBT), where "hope" and "humility" are used as the frameworks for creating spiritual resilience<ref name=":13" />. The general Christian call of "agape love and acceptance" is echoed by the concept of [[w:Unconditional_positive_regard|unconditional positive regard]]. ''[[w:Lectio_Divina|Lectio Divina]]'' (Catholic prayer and meditation) and ''Marian devotions'' are integrated into therapeutic practices to achieve emotional regulation and mindfulness.
Senior Lecturer [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Udeshini-Perera Udeshini Perera] of the University of Colombo articulates a critical role of Catholic counseling. She claims that secular counseling fails to address the "spiritual roots of distress and moral confusion". Catholic counseling fills in this gap by integrating "psychological insights with a transcendent orientation, supporting lasting transformation and integrity"<ref name=":13" />.
As of 2025, no formal accreditation or standardized training exists for [[w:Pastoral_counseling|pastoral counselors]] in Sri Lanka, hampering the legitimacy of Catholic counseling. Udeshini Perera remarks that mental health stigma, lack of standardized training, research regarding Catholic counseling effectiveness, and acceptance of the combination of religion and science in a professional setting present challenges for Catholic pastoral counseling in the country. Additionally, Catholic psychiatry in Sri Lanka appears to be under-researched, and evidence of its empirical effects on followers appears sparse. Further research is needed in assessing the empirical effects of Catholic counseling in Sri Lanka.
=== Islam ===
The literature on the empirical effects of Islamic-based psychotherapy in Sri Lanka is limited. Research has revealed a 2012 case study where a 21-year-old Muslim woman was experiencing episodic possession states. The patient ceased attending psychiatric services and opted for religious rituals. The patient reported, in a follow-up visit, that the possession states had been absent for 3 months since her switch to religious rituals. The woman and her family attributed the apparent improvement of her condition to religious rituals<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hanwella|first=Raveen|last2=de Silva|first2=Varuni|last3=Yoosuf|first3=Alam|last4=Karunaratne|first4=Sanjeewani|last5=de Silva|first5=Pushpa|date=2012|title=Religious Beliefs, Possession States, and Spirits: Three Case Studies from Sri Lanka|url=http://www.hindawi.com/journals/crips/2012/232740/|journal=Case Reports in Psychiatry|language=en|volume=2012|pages=1–3|doi=10.1155/2012/232740|issn=2090-682X|pmc=3437272|pmid=22970398}}</ref>.
Future recommendations would be to employ resources to research the foundations of Islamic psychiatry in the country, and to observe the rituals employed and their effects on patients. Studies have found that Islamic prayer can be an effective means of "support and coping"<ref name=":15" />. Seven world-wide case studies using Islamic-based psychotherapy on patients, consisting of religious rituals such as scriptural reading from the [[w:Quran|Quran]], teaching of fundamental Islamic concepts (such as ''[[w:Tawakkul|tawakkul]]''), and active implementation of contemplation (''[[w:Tadabbur|tadabbur]]''), have reported positive effects in decreasing cognitive and emotional symptoms associated with "religious, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, grief, and substance use disorder.”<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kurhade|first=Chhaya Shantaram|last2=Jagannathan|first2=Aarti|last3=Varambally|first3=Shivarama|last4=Shivanna|first4=Sushrutha|date=2022-01|title=Religion-based interventions for mental health disorders: A systematic review|url=https://journals.lww.com/10.4103/ijoyppp.ijoyppp_14_21|journal=Journal of Applied Consciousness Studies|language=en|volume=10|issue=1|pages=20–33|doi=10.4103/ijoyppp.ijoyppp_14_21|issn=2949-6993}}</ref> Additionally, a community-based study of elderly patients in Bangalore, India receiving Islamic-based psychotherapy observed decreased exhibitions of sleep disorders, eating disorders, and emotional distress<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hafeez|first=Nimin|last2=Sanjay|first2=Thittamaranahalli Varadappa|last3=Puthussery|first3=Yannick Poulose|last4=Madhusudan|first4=Muralidhar|last5=Kariyappa|first5=Poornima Muddaiah|last6=Kulkarni|first6=Sridevi|last7=Raj|first7=Lavanya|date=2023-12-31|title=Spiritual practices among elderly, prevalence, pattern and associated factors: a community-based study from rural Bengaluru, India|url=https://jccpsl.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/jccpsl.v29i4.8610|journal=Journal of the College of Community Physicians of Sri Lanka|language=en|volume=29|issue=4|doi=10.4038/jccpsl.v29i4.8610|issn=1391-3174}}</ref>.
=== Hinduism ===
Despite Hindus being 12.6% of the population of Sri Lanka, the research on Hinduism-based therapy in the country is limited. Ayurvedic medicine, a form of medicine originating from ancient India, predominated the Sri Lankan medical landscape for over 2,000 years and even had a symbiotic relationship with Sinhalese medicine, which also played a significant and influential role in the country's medical framework<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Udayanga|first=Samitha|date=2021-06-30|title=Cultural understanding of ‘spiritual well-being’ and ‘psychological well-being’ among Sinhalese Buddhists in Sri Lanka|url=https://sljss.sljol.info/article/10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990/|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Social Sciences|volume=44|issue=1|pages=33|doi=10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|issn=2478-1169}}</ref>. Despite its historical dominance, Ayurvedic medicine has been challenged against modern evidence-based medical standards<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://philarchive.org/rec/DOMAAT|title=Ayurveda: Ancient Tradition or Pseudoscientific Practice? A Philosophical Inquiry|last=Dominic|first=Shubham K.}}</ref>.
=== Comparative synthesis ===
Taking an overarching review of the role of religion in Sri Lanka, methods to improve mental well-being are practiced by adherents of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. These methods are practiced through karma, tawakkul, hope, and humility. Additionally, these practices are implemented in traditionally-oriented mental health care, which has been reported to be preferred over psychiatric care at times. These rituals practiced across these religions indicate a common theme of psychologically integrated aspects of well-being. Interpretation of trauma is a central use in religion, with religious principles, such as karma and ''tawakkul'', serving as psychologically analogous mechanisms during times of distress.
In terms of methodological comparisons to the studies described, qualitative interviews have documented Buddhist practices and principles, like Bodhipuja and the belief in karma, in response to traumatic events, while case studies found religious practices by other religious groups, such as a Muslim patient reading Islamic scripture and observing prayer to reduce emotional distress. Peer-reviewed sources have documented Catholic practices and principles, such as ''Lectio Divina'' and unconditional positive regard, in improving mindfulness and emotional regulation. The paper acknowledges limitations in the evaluation of certain findings, such as in Islam and Hinduism. These shortcomings, however, are a reflection of the existing literature and its deficiencies. Empirical findings indicate mental health practices are complex and are multifaceted in their effects.
Evidently, religion serves a parallel role to psychiatric services in improving mental health. Despite its perceived benefits, the findings surrounding religions' role in mental health suffer from conflicting, and sometimes contradictory, results. Additionally, a disproportionate amount of empirical findings seem to be Buddhist-predominant, while other religions are underrepresented in the research. Regarding research barriers, the methodological approaches implemented to study the practices of religious followers vary, though much of the research was brought from qualitative or case-based studies, impeding generalizability. Another noteworthy issue is that many studies do not utilize standardized, psychiatric measures.
== Future Outlook ==
Despite significant changes to the mental health environment in Sri Lanka, the current legal framework shaping mental health in the country has not been updated since 1956. A Cambridge University Press article detailed many limitations of the Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956, including discrepancies between the legal provisions of involuntary admissions and modern practices, potential exposure to trauma through extra-legal detentions of the mentally ill, and an absence of legal guidelines addressing the restraint of violent patients (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bjpsych-international/article/why-are-we-still-living-in-the-past-sri-lanka-needs-urgent-and-timely-reforms-of-its-archaic-mental-health-laws/B18B03DC962CC6F09BC6D7877E390EE4). Participants from Sri Lanka reported in a comparative legislative questionnaire that they felt the mental health laws were "outdated" and descriptions of clinical roles remained ambiguous (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7). A draft mental health legislation from 2007 includes provisions for human rights, but due to "bureaucratic processes" and a "lack of consensus", the draft has not been offically approved.
These limitations pose challenges to the standardization of mental healthcare admissions and may impact the rights of detained patients. Detained patients may have their human rights violated due to a lack of an up-to-date legal framework, thereby impeding the identification of such violations. Additionally, with the lack of clarity on clinical roles, clinical responsibilities may not be routinely recognized and observed, leading to role confusion and potential legal ramifications<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dey|first=Sangeeta|last2=Mellsop|first2=Graham|last3=Diesfeld|first3=Kate|last4=Dharmawardene|first4=Vajira|last5=Mendis|first5=Susitha|last6=Chaudhuri|first6=Sreemanti|last7=Deb|first7=Aniruddha|last8=Huq|first8=Nafisa|last9=Ahmed|first9=Helal Uddin|date=2019-10-24|title=Comparing legislation for involuntary admission and treatment of mental illness in four South Asian countries|url=https://ijmhs.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7|journal=International Journal of Mental Health Systems|volume=13|issue=1|pages=67|doi=10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7|issn=1752-4458|pmc=6813093|pmid=31666805}}</ref>. Lastly, current efforts should increase beyond just addressing poverty-centered matters, but also expand efforts to domestic violence victims and children with disabilities, as shelters and specialized services are limited<ref name=":82">{{Cite journal|last=Augustyniak|first=Nadia|date=2025-06-01|title=Public mental healthcare and economic vulnerability in Sri Lanka|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2666560324000926|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100387|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2024.100387|issn=2666-5603}}</ref>.
Stagnation in policy development leaves Sri Lanka without a practical, up-to-date, and comprehensive mental health legislation, which could put both clinicians and patients at risk. Future reforms should include clarification on the treatment and detention process of involuntary admissions of patients and a clear delineation of clinical roles and their responsibilities. Without the necessary reforms to advance Sri Lankan mental health legislation, clinicians and vulnerable patients may suffer from a lack of comprehensive oversight.

== Introduction ==
Mental health continues to be a critically relevant topic as the island nation has experienced decades of [[w:Black_July|violent ethnic conflict]], terrorist attacks, war crimes, and economic disruptions. Sri Lanka has only recently exited the climaxes of a [[w:Sri_Lankan_economic_crisis_(2019–2024)|severe economic crisis in from 2019 to 2024]], a [[w:Sri_Lankan_civil_war|nearly 30-year civil war ending in 2009]], a [[w:2019_Sri_Lanka_Easter_bombings|2019 terrorist attack]], and continues to face the ripple effects of the [[w:2004_Boxing_Day_tsunami|2004 Boxing Day tsunami]]. The exact effect these major events have had on mental health in the country is "unknown", but the statistics remain alarming despite a declining trend.
Suicide rates in the country during the mid-1990s were the second-highest in the world with ingesting toxic products being the main suicide method. Despite the decline in suicide numbers since then—possibly attributed to Sri Lanka's ban on toxic products—evidence from a 2023 study reports an upward trend in suicide through hanging from 2016 to 2021—independent of the [[w:COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sri_Lanka|COVID-19 pandemic]]. Several risk factors for suicide, such as poverty and economic instability, are still prevalent and even increasing in the country to this day<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakse|first=Thilini|last2=Silva|first2=Tharuka|last3=Hettiarachchi|first3=Nirosha Madhuwanthi|last4=Gunnell|first4=David|last5=Metcalfe|first5=Chris|last6=Spittal|first6=Matthew J.|last7=Knipe|first7=Duleeka|date=2023-01-19|title=The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdowns on Self-Poisoning and Suicide in Sri Lanka: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9914278/|journal=International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health|volume=20|issue=3|pages=1833|doi=10.3390/ijerph20031833|issn=1660-4601|pmc=9914278|pmid=36767200}}</ref>.

=== Adoption of a Western-based mental healthcare model and issuances of ordinances ===
In 1839, [[w:James_Alexander_Stewart-Mackenzie|James Alexander Stewart-Mackenzie]], the 7th Governor of British Ceylon, released the Lunacy Ordinance, authorizing municipal authorities to create lunatic asylums for the mentally ill in the country<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=125&lang=en|title=History - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-10}}</ref>. The ordinance was concerned with the legal frameworks of detaining individuals considered dangerous to others or individuals falsely presenting themselves as mentally ill, and not on medical treatments to alleviate the conditions of detained individuals. UK psychiatrist [[w:Edward_Mapother|Edward Mapother]] critiqued the ordinance during his 1937 inspection of British Ceylon's mental health institutions in a series of reports titled ''A Disgrace to a Civilised Community'', remarking that the ordinance "[did] not seem to have contemplated treatment as a contingency to be considered"<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|title=Permeable walls: historical perspectives on hospital and asylum visiting|date=2009|publisher=Rodopi|isbn=978-90-420-2599-8|editor-last=Mooney|editor-first=Graham|series=Clio medica|location=Amsterdam New York, NY|editor-last2=Reinarz|editor-first2=Jonathan}}</ref>.
In 1840, the 1839 Ordinance was repealed and replaced by the 1840 Ordinance. The 1839 Ordinance was almost identical to the 1840 Ordinance, except the removal of two previous requirements: the requirement for official medical diagnoses of the mentally insane and the mandate to maintain adequate staff-to-patient ratios within lunatic asylums<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal|last=Alwis|first=L. A. P. de|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V. L.|last3=Mendis|first3=T. S. S.|last4=Abhayanayaka|first4=C.|date=2024-12-31|title=The development of laws related to the disposal of forensic patients in Sri Lanka: A historical review|url=https://sljpsyc.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/sljpsyc.v15i2.8569|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Psychiatry|language=en-US|volume=15|issue=2|doi=10.4038/sljpsyc.v15i2.8569|issn=2012-6883}}</ref>.
In 1873, a third Ordinance was released. It included linguistic changes, where the term, "insane", was replaced with "of unsound mind". The Ordinance also gave more power to medical professionals in determining insanity diagnoses, and more power to detainees in appealing their commitment to the mental asylum. Despite this Ordinance being the most comprehensive outlook on mental healthcare in the country at the time, the legal frameworks behind the detainment of the criminally insane were left identical to previous ordinances<ref name=":3" />.
=== Development of mental asylums ===
At the time the 1839 ordinance was released, mentally ill patients were placed either in prisons throughout the country or leprosy hospitals, such as the [[w:Hendala_Leprosy_Hospital|Hendala Leprosy Hospital]] in the Gampaha district<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3" />. After the creation of the first mental asylum in Borella in 1846, patients from the Hendala Leprosy Hospital were transferred to the institute in Borella. Overcrowding soon became an issue and patients institutionalized at the Borella mental asylum were sent to prisons across the country.

As medical institutions were being made to house the mentally insane, another mental asylum was created in the [[w:Cinnamon_Gardens|Cinnamon Gardens]] area of Colombo in 1884, though this mental asylum faced overcrowding in just one year<ref name=":0" />. Treatment in these asylums was limited to occupational and protection therapy, failing to provide treatment for the root causes of the mental disorders.
In 1926, the Angoda Mental Hospital was established, scantily alleviating the severe overcrowding issues that were plaguing the preceding mental asylums. Despite the addition of 1,700 beds to the facility, treatment was still vastly limited and the patients were left in significantly poor conditions.
=== Edward Mapother's 1937 inspection of British Ceylon ===
Edward Mapother was born in Dublin, Ireland, on July 12, 1881 and moved to London when he was 7 years old<ref>{{Cite book|title=Madness to mental illness: a history of the Royal College of Psychiatrists|last=Bewley|first=Thomas|date=2008|publisher=RCPsych Publications ; Distributed in North America by Balogh International|isbn=978-1-904671-35-0|location=London : [S.l.]}}</ref>. Mapother attained his M.D. in 1908. While Mapother was the Medical Superintendent of Maudsley Hospital in London, England, he was invited to inspect British Ceylon's mental health institutions by Dr S. T. Gunasekara, the first Medical Director of British Ceylon<ref name=":1" />.
In Mapother's visit, he commented that the Angoda Mental Hospital had the atmosphere of "a prison that is neglected and dilapidated"<ref name=":1" />. Overcrowding was still a major issue, with the institute hosting 3,000 patients—more than double the intended capacity. Patients were sleeping on mats and were clearly out of reach of adequate treatment. Mapother also noted that only 4% of public health expenditure in the country was being set for hospitals, drawing a stark comparison to London's 25%<ref name=":1" />. Mapother offered a vivid and grim account of the hospital in his reports:
<blockquote>
The floor, roof and walls of each cell consist alike of drab cement without any attempt at colouring or decoration. High up in one wall is a small window with stout iron bars. In the floor is a large hole into which the patient may pass his motion and urine. These cells are incompletely divided from one another by a partition which does not reach the roof so that the noise and stink from any one cell may reach at least all the others of the same row. Into these empty cells I was informed that the most noisy and troublesome patients in the hospital; were turned at night completely naked. The doors of the cell contain no observation window, and considering the violent character of many of these patients there is every ground for believing that the doors are rarely opened in the night by the solitary attendant on duty. It needs little imagination to picture the suffering of any patient in an early stage of bodily illness passing a night under such conditions, a situation which must frequently arise. I am told that the noise proceeding from this building is like that on a bad night in a menagerie<ref name=":0" />.</blockquote>Mapother proposed a series of reinforcements to the legal, institutional, and medical frameworks of mental health care in British Ceylon. This included the decentralization of the psychiatric services, a reworking of the Lunacy Ordinance to incorporate treatment into the legal framework, and the establishment of a separate service of medical professionals dedicated to psychiatry. Mapother's recommendations led to several of the best local medical professionals to be sent to London for extensive training in psychiatry, while nurses from England were sent to British Ceylon to supervise hospital operations and train local staff<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />.
On August 25, 1938, the Executive Committee of Health approved the strategies proposed by Mapother, though the Government was unable to fully implement all of Mapother's interventions due to the 'heavy cost'. In fact, the Government decided to forego one of his proposals, which was the suggestion of a "Visiting Committee". This committee was tasked to "meet at the hospital, carry out inspections, and make recommendations" to the Executive Committee of Health<ref name=":1" />. The Government realized that deficiencies in their mental healthcare system could prove to be "costly" for their reputation. Mapother was reportedly enraged when he found out. Mapother intended to contact the Secretary of State regarding the "distortion" of his plans, but was interrupted by events preluding to [[w:World_War_II|World War II]]<ref name=":1" />. Mapother passed away on March 20, 1940, without materializing his follow-up plans.
=== Post-Mapother developments and further innovations ===
[[File:Sri Lanka districts Colombo.svg|thumb|A map of Sri Lanka highlighting the Colombo District, where the capital is located.
|right|250px]]Mapother's insights on the mental healthcare structure in British Ceylon proved to be the catalyst of massive renovations. In 1939, the first outpatient clinic was established in the [[w:National_Hospital_of_Sri_Lanka|National Hospital of Sri Lanka]] in Colombo. The first trained Ceylonese psychiatrists began practice in the 1940s, leading to the establishment of the first neuropsychiatric clinic in Colombo in 1943. Treatments for the mentally ill improved dramatically, as protectional therapy expanded to [[w:insulin_shock_therapy|insulin shock therapy]] and [[w:Electroconvulsive_therapy|cardiazol convulsive therapy]]<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Kathriarachchi|first=Samudra T.|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V.

Mapother's advocation for the decentralization of services were further honored through the 1947 establishment of a first child guidance clinic in Colombo General Hospital<ref name=":0" />.
In 1948, British Ceylon was granted independence from the British after the [[w:Sri_Lankan_independence_movement|Sri Lankan independence movement]]. Changes in the mental healthcare structure were not immediate following independence, but rapid expansions of mental healthcare services were still ongoing.
The following decades saw positive institutional developments, such as the creation of a second hospital in [[w:Mulleriyawa|Mulleriyawa]] in 1957, and the creation of a psychiatric inpatient unit in Colombo General Hospital in 1967—effectively granting the city of Colombo the luxury of hosting the top psychiatric care in the country<ref name=":5">{{Cite book|url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|title=Mental Health System Development in Sri Lanka|last=Minas|first=Harry|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Hall|first3=Teresa|date=2017|publisher=Springer US|isbn=978-1-4899-7997-1|editor-last=Minas|editor-first=Harry|location=Boston, MA|pages=59–77|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|editor-last2=Lewis|editor-first2=Milton}}</ref>. The 1950s was also the start of psychopharmacological innovations, with the introduction of [[w:Lithium_(medication)|lithium]] and long-acting injectable antipsychotics ([[w:Depot_injection|depot]] [[w:Antipsychotic|neuroleptics]]) in the succeeding years<ref name=":4" />. Additionally, the number of public psychiatrist positions increased by 400% from 1953 to 1967<ref name=":5" />.
After 1960, mental health services were being established beyond the capital to other cities in the country<ref name=":2" />.
In 1980, the [[w:Postgraduate_Institute_of_Medicine|Postgraduate Institute of Medicine]] began a program where students would enroll in a 5-year medical course and attain an MD in psychiatry, curbing the need for Sri Lankan medical students to be sent abroad to complete their training. Many of the medical students sent abroad for training never returned to Sri Lanka to practice, resulting in a "1:500,000 to 1000,000" ratio of psychiatrists to patients on "most occasions"<ref name=":0" />.
=== Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956 ===
In 1956, the 1873 Ordinance was revised a second time and renamed the "Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956"<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6">{{Cite journal|last=Hapangama|first=Aruni|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Kuruppuarachchi|first3=K. a.

Another linguistic development is seen with the new revision as "lunacy" was replaced with "mental disease"<ref name=":6" />. The Ordinance paved the way for community-based services to be delivered to patients closer to their residences rather than solely allocating services to just hospitals. This led to the creation of a [[w:WHO|WHO]]-backed community clinic near the [[w:University_of_Colombo|University of Colombo]] in the 1970s, where the focus was to eventually ease patients in the Angoda Mental Hospital back into the general population<ref name=":5" />.
=== Developments from the 1990s ===
The 1990s and onwards saw further positive developments in framing the mental healthcare system, including the establishment of the [https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&Itemid=101&lang=en Directorate of Mental Health] in 1998. The Directorate of Mental Health is a part of the [[w:Ministry_of_Health_(Sri_Lanka)|Ministry of Health]] who is responsible for the monitoring and implementation of mental health programs across the country<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?lang=en|title=Home - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-12}}</ref>. As of 2025, the current director of the Directorate of Mental Health is Dr. Chithramalee de Silva<ref name=":2" />.
On November 11, 2005, the Mental Health Policy was approved by the Government of Sri Lanka, advocating for establishments of more de-centralized, community-based mental health services across the country beyond the capital (Colombo). The policy aimed to concisely define the rigorous standards needed to be completed for each respected medical professional, including psychiatrists and clinical psychologists<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakshe|first=Onali Bimalka Wickramaseckara|last2=Mohan|first2=Mohapradeep|last3=Singh|first3=Swaran Preet|date=2023-05|title=Development of adolescent mental health services in Sri Lanka|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10895478/|journal=BJPsych international|volume=20|issue=2|pages=41–43|doi=10.1192/bji.2022.32|issn=2056-4740|pmc=10895478|pmid=38414998}}</ref>. The policy also included a new position, the "Medical Officer of Mental Health", who oversees and assists in the implementation of community-based mental health services<ref name=":0" />. This same year, the Sri Lankan government began implementing psychological services in state institutions, such as the military<ref name=":8" />.
In 2007, the National Mental Health Advisory Council (NMHAC) was created to serve as an 'advisory' board for the Ministry of Health on what actions should be executed by the Directorate of Mental Health<ref name=":7">{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9&Itemid=220&lang=en|title=Introduction - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-12}}</ref>.
In 2008, the Angoda Mental Hospital was restructured as the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)<ref name=":7" />.
=== Modern-day Sri Lanka ===
[[File:Feeding Children in Sri Lanka.jpg|left|thumb|Despite the noteworthy improvements in mental healthcare services in recent decades, mental health remains a significant issue due to rising poverty. ]]
As of 2025, the Mental Health Act (mental health legislation) has been undergoing development since 2005 and is currently awaiting to be considered for the final stage of approval. This is expected to replace the 1956 Mental Health Ordinance<ref name=":7" />.
Currently, there are 7 tertiary care hospitals, 61 adult patient units, 3 child inpatient units, and 1 forensic unit. The [[w:Lady_Ridgeway_Hospital_for_Children|Lady Ridgeway Hospital]] in Colombo and the Sirimavo Bandaranayke Specialized Children Hospital in Kandy are tailored towards alleviating children with [[w:Learning_disability|SLD]], [[w:ADHD|ADHD]], [[w:Autism_Spectrum_Disorder|ASD]] and family support for diagnosed children. As of 2017, 22 rehabilitation centers exist through the country, including 7 alcohol rehab centers<ref name=":7" />. [expand more on SL Gov't efforts here...]
Despite the impressive advancements in mental healthcare in the last couple of decades, Sri Lanka still suffers significant mental health issues due to increasing poverty levels in the country. The [[w:World_Bank|World Bank]] reported that [https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/04/08/eesc-a08.html the poverty levels in Sri Lanka increased from 11% in 2019 to 26% in 2024], with 60% of Sri Lankan households facing "decreased incomes"<ref>Lakhtakia, Shruti, Atapattu Mudiyanselage, Udahiruni Shashadari Atapat, Walker, Richard Ancrum.

This was churned by Sri Lanka's excessive foreign debt, economic troubles stemming from [[w:Gotabaya_Rajapaksa|Gotabaya Rajapaksa]]'s presidential term, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the [[w:Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine|ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia (2022)]].
According to [[w:NYU|New York University]] graduate student [https://gc-cuny.academia.edu/NadiaAugustyniak Nadia Augustyniak] in her 2025 overview of Sri Lanka's public mental healthcare system, poverty-induced financial precarity remains a major obstacle to receiving access to mental healthcare services. Even though trauma from adverse weather and conflict is deleterious to mental health, issues originating from every-day struggles, especially struggles related to poverty, could arguably play a more significant role<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal|last=Augustyniak|first=Nadia|date=2025-06-01|title=Public mental healthcare and economic vulnerability in Sri Lanka|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2666560324000926|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100387|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2024.100387|issn=2666-5603}}</ref>.
== Impact of Conflicts, Terrorism, Political Instability & Natural Disasters ==
=== Sri Lankan Civil War ===
The '''Sri Lankan Civil War''' was a domestic conflict that took place between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (abbreviated as the ''LTTE),'' a militant group formed in the 1970s as a result of rising tensions between the majority Sinhalese and minority Tamil population. The group is considered a terrorist organization<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.start.umd.edu/baad/database/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-ltte-1998.html|title=BAAD - Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) - 1998 {{!}} START.umd.edu|website=www.start.umd.edu|access-date=2025-06-09}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-aka-tamil-tigers-sri-lanka-separatists|title=Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (aka Tamil Tigers) (Sri Lanka, separatists) {{!}} Council on Foreign Relations|last=Bhattacharji|first=Preeti|website=www.cfr.org|language=en|access-date=2025-06-09}}</ref>. Through brutal massacres, assassinations, and suicide bombings, the LTTE waged decades of terror which led to civilian displacement, infrastructure collapse, and the reduction of mental health services available in the northern region.[[File:DFID-funded, UNHCR emergency shelter tents, in the IDP camp at Menik Farm, Sri Lanka (3694081492).jpg|thumb|350x350px|An IDP camp in Menik Farm, Sri Lanka in 2009 ([https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-19703826 now closed]).

In 2003, only two psychiatrists were found in the region, operating on extremely limited resources and further deepening long-term trauma and mental health deterioration in the population<ref name=":5" />.
In 2002, the humanitarian organization [https://www.msf.org/ Médecins Sans Frontières] (MSF) performed an investigation of mental health needs in the [[w:Vavuniya|Vavuniya]] area, the site of intense conflict during the civil war (including the [[w:1985_Vavuniya_massacre|1985 Vavuniya massacre]]), and found that many of the residents suffered from high suicide rates, alcohol abuse, domestic violence, grief, and a "sense of ‘learnt helplessness’"<ref name=":5" />. A team from the University of Konstanz in Germany found that 92% of grade school children in the region were exposed to "combat, shelling, and witnessing the death of loved ones"<ref name=":9" />.

Accusation of war crimes towards [[w:War_crimes_during_the_final_stages_of_the_Sri_Lankan_civil_war|the Sri Lankan government]] have been documented by various external organizations, despite the government's attempts at removing any [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_p1TfTguW0 mentions] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vtm54Y9USEg investigations] of it<ref>See also [[w:Sexual violence in the Sri Lankan civil war]].</ref>. A 2009 HRW report stated that the Sri Lankan government assumed native Tamil population residing in war zones to be "siding with the LTTE and [therefore, were] treated as combatants", leading to indiscriminate shillings and massacres of civilians<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2009-02-19|title=War on the Displaced|url=https://www.hrw.org/report/2009/02/19/war-displaced/sri-lankan-army-and-ltte-abuses-against-civilians-vanni|journal=Human Rights Watch|language=en}}</ref>. Alongside the oppression by the Sri Lankan military, the Vanni population also endured the brutal theatrics of the LTTE, which recruited men, women, and even children with minimal training, effectively rendering them cannon fodder.
Over 200,000 Tamil civilians were moved into [[w:Internally_displaced_persons_in_Sri_Lanka|designated displacement camps during the war]], where conditions were abysmal<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dissanayake|first=Lasith|last2=Jabir|first2=Sameeha|last3=Shepherd|first3=Thomas|last4=Helliwell|first4=Toby|last5=Selvaratnam|first5=Lavan|last6=Jayaweera|first6=Kaushalya|last7=Abeysinghe|first7=Nihal|last8=Mallen|first8=Christian|last9=Sumathipala|first9=Athula|date=2023-08-31|title=The aftermath of war; mental health, substance use and their correlates with social support and resilience among adolescents in a post-conflict region of Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/s13034-023-00648-1|journal=Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Mental Health|language=en|volume=17|issue=1|pages=101|doi=10.1186/s13034-023-00648-1|issn=1753-2000}}</ref>. The suicide rate in these displacement camps were three times the community-level (2002), with a ratio of 103.5 per 10,000 compared to the Sri Lankan general population's rate of 37.5 per 10,000. Almost all suicide attempts involved poisonous substances. Other forms of violence included domestic violence and child abuse. Local health officials in Vavuniya admitted that mental health concerns were a major problem, but were unable to address these concerns due to a lack of resources and support from the government. During the [[wikipedia:Sri_Lankan_civil_war#2002_peace_process_(2002%E2%80%932006)|brief 2002 ceasefire]], the MSF implemented a "community-based programme" which included "increasing awareness, community strengthening, reinforcing coping-strategies for long-term war-affected communities, and counselling".

'''Post-war'''
[[File:Puttalam district.svg|left|thumb|Puttalam District, unlike its northern counterparts, was largely spared from the intense conflict, possibly explaining the lower rates of common mental disorders (CMDs).]]
The first district-wide cross-sectional multistage cluster sample survey was conducted in the [[w:Jaffna_District|Jaffna District]] shortly after the war ended. The study's sample included 1517 households and 2 internally displaced peoples camps. With a response rate of 92%, the study found that symptoms for PTSD were found in 7% of participants, symptoms of anxiety were found in 32.6% of participants, and symptoms of depression were found in 22.2% of participants. 2% of respondents were currently placed in internally displaced peoples camps at the time of the study, 29.5% were freshly resettled from the internally displaced peoples camps, and the rest of the participants (68.5%) were never placed into camps. In comparison to residents who were never placed into camps, participants that were actively held in camps tend to report more symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The researchers also found that women were especially vulnerable to deteriorating mental health conditions. This was explained by two factors: women having to assume the roles of both the father and the mother in the family setting after the, either voluntary or forced, departure of the husband to war, and sexist violence<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Husain|first=Farah|last2=Anderson|first2=Mark|last3=Lopes Cardozo|first3=Barbara|last4=Becknell|first4=Kristin|last5=Blanton|first5=Curtis|last6=Araki|first6=Diane|last7=Kottegoda Vithana|first7=Eeshara|date=2011-08-03|title=Prevalence of War-Related Mental Health Conditions and Association With Displacement Status in Postwar Jaffna District, Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2011.1052|journal=JAMA|volume=306|issue=5|pages=522–531|doi=10.1001/jama.2011.1052|issn=0098-7484}}</ref>.

=== 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami ===
The '''2004 Boxing Day Tsunami''' was a natural disaster where a tsunami spawned off a 9.2–9.3 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Aceh in Indonesia on December 26. The tsunami greatly affected the coastlines of the country, with the death toll reaching to about 35,000 deaths. In addition, 90,000 houses were destroyed and 516,000 people were forced to migrate due to severe infrastructural damage<ref name=":5" />. It stands as the [http://www.china.org.cn/english/features/tsunami_relief/119821.htm worst natural disaster to have ever hit Sri Lanka].

Many victims in the Jaffna area suffered with "[https://www.psychiatry.org/patients-families/prolonged-grief-disorder pathological grief], phobias, depression and PTSD" post-tsunami. Schizophrenia in the Jaffna Tamil community, which had already suffered elevated prevalence of PTSD prior to the tsunami, had worsened—highlighting the need for specialized care in response to cumulative exposures to chronic and acute traumas. In a study published in the journal ''International Psychiatry'' (2006), Jaffna-based researchers noted that, contrary to their initial inclinations, there was not a "large[r] (than expected) rise in [the] number of people" seeking mental health support 3 months after the tsunami. However, 10 months after the disaster, the researchers anticipated that "more psychiatric disorders" would emerge due to "very little rebuilding [efforts]" and an apparent "unfairness in the aid system".<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Somasundaram|first=D.

Regardless, efforts were continued by the government and health professionals to alleviate the struggles the victims were facing, including the psychological ramifications of the disaster.
Several issues in the delivery of these services were highlighted by Dr. Hewage, including poor maintenance of health records, lack of awareness on drug consumption by the patients themselves, and shortages of health professionals. Dr. Hewage points out that personnel had "little" mental health training prior to the disaster, suggesting increased "research" and adequate "provision[ing] and training of staff" in the long-term<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Davidson|first=Jonathan R.

The '''2019 Easter Bombings''' were a series of coordinated attacks perpetrated by the Islamic extremist group, [[w:National_Thowheeth_Jama'ath|National Thowheeth Jama'ath]], on April 21, 2019. The attack targeted three churches and three hotels in the Colombo area, killing nearly 300 people and injuring over 500. The attack was also attributed to the incompetency of the Sri Lankan government, who ignored [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48044636 multiple warnings regarding the attacks].

Literature regarding the impact of the 2019 Easter Bombings on mental health are limited and further research should be done in the field.
=== 2019-2024 Economic Crisis ===
The '''2019-2024 Economic Crisis''' refers to a 5 year period where the Sri Lankan economy experienced massive inflation and an abrupt hike in prices on basic, everyday items. It is the worse economic crisis the country has faced since the Sri Lankans were granted independence in 1948. Schools in Sri Lanka were forced to postpone examinations due to paper shortages. Gas shortages led to long lines at gas stations, some lasting for days, throughout the island. Shortages in electricity, cooking gas, and aviation were additional results of the economic crisis.
Healthcare workers faced a barrage of mental health during the crisis, including a lopsided work-life balance due to unprecedented demand, increased stress and mental fatigue from a lack of resources and personnel, unhealthy coping mechanisms, job dissatisfaction, and a reduction in work quality. Such effects perpetuate a self-enforcing cycle of psychologically distressed mental healthcare workers providing subpar services, affecting patients and amplifying mental health issues experienced by both the workforce and their patients<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dilogini|first=S.|last2=Grace|first2=H.

The detrimental effects the crisis has had on the mental health sector reveal a concerning area of underappreciation and under compensation by the Sri Lankan government towards a critical sector for the well-being of the country. Comprehensive mental health interventions need to be prepared and ready to implement at times of national emergencies.
== Present-Day Challenges ==
=== Ethnic tension ===
Despite the end of the Sri Lankan civil war and the introduction of pluralist policies, such as the [https://srilankaembassy.fr/sites/default/files/files/media/pdf/NationalPolicy-English.pdf 2017 National Policy on Reconciliation and Coexistence] under the Sirisena administration, tensions amongst members of the ethnic groups still persist in the country. Evidence of these tensions was found through a 2022 study conducted in the Ratnapura district, where religious leaders expressed skepticisms, through semi-structured interviews, for "conflict transformation". A Tamil citizen of the Ratnapura community recounted that they were forced to "hide in jungles" and consume "dirty water in drainage[s]" due to scarcity of food and drinkable water as a result of the conflict. In certain personal accounts, ethnic conflicts appear to affect the social behavior and identity of the majority ethnic group. One Sinhala participant recounted his objection to the war-time retaliatory destruction of a shop run by a Tamil shopkeeper was met with interrogative questions about "whether [he was] Sinhalese or not". Both accounts convey interethnic tensions stemming from decade-long conflicts<ref>Jayathilaka, Aruna & Gamage, Sayuri. (2024). Role of Buddhist and Hindu Religious Leaders Role of Buddhist and Hindu Religious Leaders in the Post-War Conflict Transformation Process: A Study Based on Rathnapura District in Srilanka. ''Retrieved from'' https://gandhimargjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Volume-46-Issue-1-April-June-2024.pdf#page=66</ref>.
Beyond individual accounts and the official end of the civil war, the minority groups in the country continue to feel ostracized. The Sri Lankan Tamil population remains dissatisfied with the Sri Lankan government and their accountability of perpetrators of war crimes and information on the whereabouts of [[w:Enforced_disappearances_in_Sri_Lanka|thousands of enforced disappearances]] that took place from the 1980s. Additionally, rising anti-Muslim sentiment in recent years contribute to increased ethnic tensions, a stark contrast to the previous centuries of peaceful co-existence between the groups.

Laws passed by the Sri Lankan government, such as the [[w:Prevention_of_Terrorism_Act_(Sri_Lanka)|Prevention of Terrorism Act]] and [[wikipedia:Anti-conversion_law#Sri_Lanka|anti-conversion laws]], have forced the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom to label Sri Lanka as a nation that "[engages] or [tolerates] severe violations of religious freedom" in their 2024 report. The government has been criticized by human rights organizations for "disproportionately targeting religious minorities"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jayawickreme|first=Nuwan|last2=Jayawickreme|first2=Eranda|last3=McCaffrey|first3=Amy Z.|last4=Thiruvarangan|first4=Mahendran|date=2025-06-01|title=Mental health futures in post-war Sri Lanka: Resilience, relational pluralism, and implementation pathways|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666560325000775|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100465|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100465|issn=2666-5603}}</ref>. Additionally, the implementation of the three dominant languages, English, Sinhala, and Tamil, across formal education and government services have been lackadaisical, narrowing opportunities of foundational social interactions between the groups. Persistent discrimination and prejudice towards minority groups can lead to an array of complex and self-deprecating mental health issues.
Effort to mitigate ethnic tensions include strategies like [[w:Community-based_participatory_research|community-based participatory research]] (CBPR), task-sharing, and securing online mental health services in order to expand mental health services. However, the implementation of evidence-based plans has been met with difficulty due to inaccessibility, high costs, and shortages of adequately-trained personnel.
Movements aiming for improved intra group and inter group coexistences, such as the Jaffna People’s Forum for Coexistence developed in the wake of the 2019 Easter bombings, should be emphasized on a systematic and multi-level basis, including but not limited to education, public sectors, and within communities. Pluralistic values should be stressed across both private and public schools to foster cultural sensitivity and tolerance. Measures should be taken against threatening extremist groups promoting sectarian hostility, such as the [[w:Bodu_Bala_Sena|Bodu Bala Sena]].
=== Poverty ===
It has been proven that poverty significantly increases the chances of developing mental illnesses. This is further amplified by possible discrimination<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Knifton|first=Lee|last2=Inglis|first2=Greig|date=2020-10|title=Poverty and mental health: policy, practice and research implications|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7525587/|journal=BJPsych bulletin|volume=44|issue=5|pages=193–196|doi=10.1192/bjb.2020.78|issn=2056-4694|pmc=7525587|pmid=32744210}}</ref>. Poverty also affects the ability for individuals with mental health concerns to receive the treatment they need. Due to the repercussions of the economic crisis, clients in Sri Lanka could not attend further counseling sessions<ref name=":8" />. Poverty from 2021 to 2022 [https://databankfiles.worldbank.org/public/ddpext_download/poverty/987B9C90-CB9F-4D93-AE8C-750588BF00QA/current/Global_POVEQ_LKA.pdf reportedly doubled], with future forecasts predicting the poverty line to "remain above 25 percent". Suicide has been empirically linked to economic hardships in previous studies<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kithulagoda|first=A. S.|last2=Gunasinghe|first2=U. C. M.|last3=Senevirathna|first3=J. M. M.

A 2013 study done on suicidal patients in [[w:Batticaloa_Teaching_Hospital|Batticaloa Teaching Hospital]] revealed 76% of patients who attempted suicide were from rural areas while 15% were from urban areas<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://ir.lib.seu.ac.lk/handle/123456789/1457|title=The influence of common risk factors for the patient with attempted suicide hospitalized at the teaching hospital, Batticaloa|last=Kisokanth|first=G.|last2=Najeem|first2=M.

The Sri Lankan government should consider the economical impacts that poverty has on mental health and implement ways to aid poverty-stricken individuals with mental health concerns.
=== Stigmas ===
Stigma consists of the "combined effect of prejudice, ignorance and discrimination."<ref name=":10">{{Cite web|url=http://www.researchgate.net/publication/233990797_The_Stigma_of_Mental_Illness_in_Sri_Lanka_The_Perspectives_of_Community_Mental_Health_Workers|title=(PDF) The Stigma of Mental Illness in Sri Lanka: The Perspectives of Community Mental Health Workers|website=ResearchGate|language=en|access-date=2025-07-25}}</ref>.
A 2012 interview consisting of nine participants (two doctors, three nurses, one occupational therapist, one development worker, and two volunteers) revealed a number of concerning societal viewpoints on individuals with mental health concerns. The interviews revealed that negative judgements were not only levied against the individual with the mental illness, but also the family. Families hid mentally ill family members from the public to avoid "shame" and possible hinderances in marriage proposals. Views that mentally ill individuals were "violent" served as the motivating factor behind socially isolating those with mental illness from their communities. Interviewees mentioned that individuals dealing with mental health challenges would have stones and "derogatory names" launched at them. A lack of community awareness regarding mental health and negative portrayals of mentally ill individuals in media exacerbates stigmatization, though the researchers commented that the media was "improving" in their depiction of mental illness. Beliefs that illnesses are caused by "spirits" can be problematic for individuals dealing with mental health issues and serves as evidence to poor mental health awareness in the country. Mental health workers themselves believed that they were being stigmatized, as mental health is reportedly not taken as seriously as physical health. Despite the intriguing perspectives provided, the small sample size and usage of snow sampling raise questionable concerns regarding the contextualization of the results<ref name=":10" />.
Improving media portrayal of subjects concerning mental health and involving community members in interventions dealing with mental health issues are ways that could destigmatize mental health amongst communities in Sri Lanka. Tying collaborations between allopathic services and traditional healers instead of having these two services work individually could enhance engagement between traditional medicine and Western medicine.
=== Suicide Trends & Risk Factors ===
Suicide is defined as "the act of killing oneself deliberately, initiated and performed by the person concerned in the full knowledge or expectation of its fatal outcome"<ref name=":11">{{Cite book|title=The neuroscience of suicidal behavior|last=Heeringen|first=Kees van|date=2018|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-316-60290-4|series=Cambridge fundamentals of neuroscience in psychology|location=Cambridge, United Kingdom New York, NY, USA Port Melbourne, VIC, Australia New Delhi, India Singapore}}</ref>. Although Sri Lanka has seen a significant reduction in suicide rates from the mid 1990s due to its banning of extremely toxic pesticide products, suicide and self harm remains a significant issue. The suicide rate per 100,000 people increased from 14.0 in 2019 to [https://www.who.int/srilanka/news/detail/06-09-2024-world-suicide-prevention-day-2024--changing-the-narrative-on-suicide 15.0 in 2022] (according to WHO). On average, 27 males per 100,000 males and 5 females per 100,000 females committed suicide in 2022<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kithulagoda|first=A. S.|last2=Gunasinghe|first2=U. C.

Hanging appears to be the most used method for suicide for both males and females, with studies revealing a steady increase in recent years<ref name=":12">{{Cite journal|last=Bandara|first=Piumee|last2=Wickrama|first2=Prabath|last3=Sivayokan|first3=Sambasivamoorthy|last4=Knipe|first4=Duleeka|last5=Rajapakse|first5=Thilini|date=2024-04-17|title=Reflections on the trends of suicide in Sri Lanka, 1997–2022: The need for continued vigilance|url=https://journals.plos.org/globalpublichealth/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgph.0003054|journal=PLOS Global Public Health|language=en|volume=4|issue=4|pages=e0003054|doi=10.1371/journal.pgph.0003054|issn=2767-3375|pmc=11023397|pmid=38630779}}</ref>.
From 2023 to 2024, a group of researchers from the [[w:Eastern_University,_Sri_Lanka|Eastern University in Sri Lanka]] assessed 828 patients admitted to the Teaching Hospital in [[w:Batticaloa,_Sri_Lanka|Batticaloa, Sri Lanka]] for attempted suicide. They concluded that suicide prevention programs should be attuned to younger people (ages 15 to 35 in the study), emphasize the importance of education and reducing unemployment, and increase social support in the Tamil community. Despite the relevant insights into certain aspects of an average Sri Lankan's life that could lead to suicidal ideation (ie, poverty), the results from this study suffer in external validity as 90% of the patients were Tamil and over 50% were between 16 and 25 years. In addition, correlations between suicide and unemployment rates have been questioned, with [[w:Austerity|austerity]] being a more reliable indicator of suicide rates than unemployment rates<ref name=":11" />. Further comprehensive studies on risk factors relating to suicide should be studied to assess correlations between unemployment rates and austerity measures.
The WHO suggests implementing evidence-based suicide prevention programs, such as [https://www.who.int/initiatives/live-life-initiative-for-suicide-prevention LIVE LIFE], to reduce the national suicide rate<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.who.int/srilanka/news/detail/06-09-2024-world-suicide-prevention-day-2024--changing-the-narrative-on-suicide|title=World Suicide Prevention day 2024 “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”|website=www.who.int|language=en|access-date=2025-07-29}}</ref>. Media potrayals of suicidal methods, such as hanging, can lead to sensationalism and the media should be cautious of such displays in movies and TV shows<ref name=":12" />. Awareness of depression and other mental health issues can serve as a safeguard against suicidal ideation in Sri Lankan men and women.
== Role of Religion ==
According to the last demographic report (2012), 70.2% of Sri Lankans are Buddhist, 12.6% are Hindus, 9.7% are Muslims, and 7.4% are Christians. The Theravada Buddhist community makes up the majority in several provinces throughout the country<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-religious-freedom/sri-lanka/|title=Sri Lanka|website=United States Department of State|language=en-US|access-date=2025-08-07}}</ref>. Religion, especially Theravada Buddhism, has had a significant influence on not only the historical treatment of mental health in the country, but also everyday life<ref name=":15" />. The [[w:Mahāvaṃsa|''Mahāvaṃsa'']] affirms hospitals treating patients suffering from mental health issues as early as the 4th century BC. Additionally, the 1700s Nayaka king [[w:Kirti_Sri_Rajasinha|Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe]] detailed the implementation of Buddhist philosophy in psychiatry<ref name=":4" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Alwis|first=L. A. P.

Modern-day empirical studies have attested to the usefulness of religion in mitigating stress and elevating mental health<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-4276-5_22|title=Religion and Mental Health|last=Schieman|first=Scott|last2=Bierman|first2=Alex|last3=Ellison|first3=Christopher G.|date=2013|publisher=Springer Netherlands|isbn=978-94-007-4276-5|editor-last=Aneshensel|editor-first=Carol S.|location=Dordrecht|pages=457–478|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-94-007-4276-5_22|editor-last2=Phelan|editor-first2=Jo C.|editor-last3=Bierman|editor-first3=Alex}}</ref>. Religion has been found to be positively correlated with improved mental health, and more religious patients were concluded to have "better mental health and adapt[ed] more quickly to health problems" versus patients who weren't religious<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Koenig|first=Harold G.|date=2012|title=Religion, spirituality, and health: the research and clinical implications|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3671693/|journal=ISRN psychiatry|volume=2012|pages=278730|doi=10.5402/2012/278730|issn=2090-7966|pmc=3671693|pmid=23762764}}</ref>.

=== Buddhism ===
27 Sinhalese Buddhists from four Buddhist temples were selected for a series of 70-minute interviews and focus group discussions with the aim of learning the Sinhala Buddhist understanding and experience of spiritual well-being and psychological well-being. The interviewees held spiritual wellness to be the "center" of overall wellness, the "precondition for a successful life"<ref name=":14">{{Cite journal|last=Udayanga|first=Samitha|date=2021-06-30|title=Cultural understanding of ‘spiritual well-being’ and ‘psychological well-being’ among Sinhalese Buddhists in Sri Lanka|url=https://sljss.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Social Sciences|language=en-US|volume=44|issue=1|doi=10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|issn=0258-9710}}</ref>. Sinhala Buddhists believe that wellness cannot be achieved without spiritual tranquility. The report states that participants emphasized that spirituality "cannot be directly intervened" and can only be seen through "[interactions] with society"<ref name=":14" />. Despite the ''athmaya'' (soul) being "unreachable", it can be "intervened", or treated, through the actions of the mind and body with society<ref name=":14" />. One being "psychologically ill" can affect one's spiritual being, as the participants reported in their interviews, and can be affected through "lifestyle stressors, environmental and socio-cultural causes, non-human related causes and bad-karma in the past lives"<ref name=":14" />.
The researchers concluded that despite Sinhala Buddhists not being able to articulately decipher the discrepancies between psychological well-being and spiritual well-being, they are able to conceptualize and maintain a culturally embedded understanding between the two, serving as reputable evidence of the integration of mental health in Sinhala Buddhist practices. However, it is important to note that these results come from a very small sample size and cannot be generalized to all Sri Lankan Buddhists.
In addition, a 2009 study found that a belief in karma was correlated with poor health. However, an earlier study found a positive correlation between the reliance on the [[w:Karma_in_Buddhism|Buddhist concept of karma]] and trauma, inferencing Buddhist karma being a prevalent response to trauma<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Levy|first=Becca R.|last2=Slade|first2=Martin D.|last3=Ranasinghe|first3=Padmini|date=2009-03|title=Causal thinking after a tsunami wave: karma beliefs, pessimistic explanatory style and health among Sri Lankan survivors|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19229624|journal=Journal of Religion and Health|volume=48|issue=1|pages=38–45|doi=10.1007/s10943-008-9162-5|issn=1573-6571|pmid=19229624}}</ref>. Overall, the effectiveness of karma as a coping mechanism appears to be conflicted.
Studies indicate that other practices of Buddhism seem to be utilized by individuals affected by the war. 40% of Sri Lankan Buddhists affected by the 2004 tsunami found the Buddhist ritual ''Bodhipuja'' to be helpful in dealing with traumatic experiences<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jmvh.org/article/mental-health-and-the-role-of-cultural-and-religious-support-in-the-assistance-of-disabled-veterans-in-sri-lanka/|title=Mental Health and the Role of Cultural and Religious Support in the Assistance of Disabled Veterans in Sri Lanka|website=JMVH|language=en-US|access-date=2025-08-12}}</ref>.
=== Catholicism ===
Catholic counseling refers to "a nuanced and holistic mental health care paradigm that intricately weaves together psychological science with the moral, spiritual, and pastoral traditions of the Catholic Church"<ref name=":13">Perera, U. [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Udeshini-Perera/publication/394095042_Catholic_Counselling_in_Sri_Lanka_Integrating_Faith_Psychology_and_Cultural_Healing/links/6889303af8031739e6098c79/Catholic-Counselling-in-Sri-Lanka-Integrating-Faith-Psychology-and-Cultural-Healing.pdf Catholic Counselling in Sri Lanka: Integrating Faith, Psychology, and Cultural Healing]. July 2025.</ref> and aims to assimilate Catholic theology and evidence-based psychological treatment while including Sri Lankan cultural elements. This is achieved through emphasis on community cohesion and a locally-based understanding of "personhood"<ref name=":13" />.
The origins of Catholic counseling trace back to the introduction of Roman Catholicism to the island in the 1600s, with the focus of the early Sri Lankan Catholic community being on "[[w:Evangelism|evangelization]], education, and sacramental formation". Demand for counseling services in general increased due to the impacts of the Sri Lankan Civil War, where Catholic organizations (Caritas Sri Lanka, Seth Sarana, Subodhi Integral Centre (Piliyandala), etc.) established several Catholic-based trauma-informed programmes for victims of the Civil War. Programmes use group therapy, forgiveness rituals, and narrative repairs to alleviate war trauma.
Examples of integration of Catholic virtues and counseling can be seen in [[w:Cognitive_Behavioral_Therapy|Cognitive Behavioral Therapy]] (CBT), where "hope" and "humility" are used as the frameworks for creating spiritual resilience<ref name=":13" />. The general Christian call of "agape love and acceptance" is echoed by the concept of [[w:Unconditional_positive_regard|unconditional positive regard]]. ''[[w:Lectio_Divina|Lectio Divina]]'' (Catholic prayer and meditation) and ''Marian devotions'' are integrated into therapeutic practices to achieve emotional regulation and mindfulness.
Senior Lecturer [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Udeshini-Perera Udeshini Perera] of the University of Colombo articulates a critical role of Catholic counseling. She claims that secular counseling fails to address the "spiritual roots of distress and moral confusion". Catholic counseling fills in this gap by integrating "psychological insights with a transcendent orientation, supporting lasting transformation and integrity"<ref name=":13" />.
As of 2025, no formal accreditation or standardized training exists for [[w:Pastoral_counseling|pastoral counselors]] in Sri Lanka, hampering the legitimacy of Catholic counseling. Udeshini Perera remarks that mental health stigma, lack of standardized training, research regarding Catholic counseling effectiveness, and acceptance of the combination of religion and science in a professional setting present challenges for Catholic pastoral counseling in the country. Additionally, Catholic psychiatry in Sri Lanka appears to be under-researched, and evidence of its empirical effects on followers appears sparse. Further research is needed in assessing the empirical effects of Catholic counseling in Sri Lanka.
=== Islam ===
The literature on the empirical effects of Islamic-based psychotherapy in Sri Lanka is limited. Research has revealed a 2012 case study where a 21-year-old Muslim woman was experiencing episodic possession states. The patient ceased attending psychiatric services and opted for religious rituals. The patient reported, in a follow-up visit, that the possession states had been absent for 3 months since her switch to religious rituals. The woman and her family attributed the apparent improvement of her condition to religious rituals<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hanwella|first=Raveen|last2=de Silva|first2=Varuni|last3=Yoosuf|first3=Alam|last4=Karunaratne|first4=Sanjeewani|last5=de Silva|first5=Pushpa|date=2012|title=Religious Beliefs, Possession States, and Spirits: Three Case Studies from Sri Lanka|url=http://www.hindawi.com/journals/crips/2012/232740/|journal=Case Reports in Psychiatry|language=en|volume=2012|pages=1–3|doi=10.1155/2012/232740|issn=2090-682X|pmc=3437272|pmid=22970398}}</ref>.
Future recommendations would be to employ resources to research the foundations of Islamic psychiatry in the country, and to observe the rituals employed and their effects on patients. Studies have found that Islamic prayer can be an effective means of "support and coping"<ref name=":15" />. Seven world-wide case studies using Islamic-based psychotherapy on patients, consisting of religious rituals such as scriptural reading from the [[w:Quran|Quran]], teaching of fundamental Islamic concepts (such as ''[[w:Tawakkul|tawakkul]]''), and active implementation of contemplation (''[[w:Tadabbur|tadabbur]]''), have reported positive effects in decreasing cognitive and emotional symptoms associated with "religious, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, grief, and substance use disorder.”<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kurhade|first=Chhaya Shantaram|last2=Jagannathan|first2=Aarti|last3=Varambally|first3=Shivarama|last4=Shivanna|first4=Sushrutha|date=2022-01|title=Religion-based interventions for mental health disorders: A systematic review|url=https://journals.lww.com/10.4103/ijoyppp.ijoyppp_14_21|journal=Journal of Applied Consciousness Studies|language=en|volume=10|issue=1|pages=20–33|doi=10.4103/ijoyppp.ijoyppp_14_21|issn=2949-6993}}</ref> Additionally, a community-based study of elderly patients in Bangalore, India receiving Islamic-based psychotherapy observed decreased exhibitions of sleep disorders, eating disorders, and emotional distress<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hafeez|first=Nimin|last2=Sanjay|first2=Thittamaranahalli Varadappa|last3=Puthussery|first3=Yannick Poulose|last4=Madhusudan|first4=Muralidhar|last5=Kariyappa|first5=Poornima Muddaiah|last6=Kulkarni|first6=Sridevi|last7=Raj|first7=Lavanya|date=2023-12-31|title=Spiritual practices among elderly, prevalence, pattern and associated factors: a community-based study from rural Bengaluru, India|url=https://jccpsl.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/jccpsl.v29i4.8610|journal=Journal of the College of Community Physicians of Sri Lanka|language=en|volume=29|issue=4|doi=10.4038/jccpsl.v29i4.8610|issn=1391-3174}}</ref>.
=== Hinduism ===
Despite Hindus being 12.6% of the population of Sri Lanka, the research on Hinduism-based therapy in the country is limited. Ayurvedic medicine, a form of medicine originating from ancient India, predominated the Sri Lankan medical landscape for over 2,000 years and even had a symbiotic relationship with Sinhalese medicine, which also played a significant and influential role in the country's medical framework<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Udayanga|first=Samitha|date=2021-06-30|title=Cultural understanding of ‘spiritual well-being’ and ‘psychological well-being’ among Sinhalese Buddhists in Sri Lanka|url=https://sljss.sljol.info/article/10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990/|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Social Sciences|volume=44|issue=1|pages=33|doi=10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|issn=2478-1169}}</ref>. Despite its historical dominance, Ayurvedic medicine has been challenged against modern evidence-based medical standards<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://philarchive.org/rec/DOMAAT|title=Ayurveda: Ancient Tradition or Pseudoscientific Practice? A Philosophical Inquiry|last=Dominic|first=Shubham K.}}</ref>.
=== Comparative synthesis ===
Taking an overarching review of the role of religion in Sri Lanka, methods to improve mental well-being are practiced by adherents of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. These methods are practiced through karma, tawakkul, hope, and humility. Additionally, these practices are implemented in traditionally-oriented mental health care, which has been reported to be preferred over psychiatric care at times. These rituals practiced across these religions indicate a common theme of psychologically integrated aspects of well-being. Interpretation of trauma is a central use in religion, with religious principles, such as karma and ''tawakkul'', serving as psychologically analogous mechanisms during times of distress.
In terms of methodological comparisons to the studies described, qualitative interviews have documented Buddhist practices and principles, like Bodhipuja and the belief in karma, in response to traumatic events, while case studies found religious practices by other religious groups, such as a Muslim patient reading Islamic scripture and observing prayer to reduce emotional distress. Peer-reviewed sources have documented Catholic practices and principles, such as ''Lectio Divina'' and unconditional positive regard, in improving mindfulness and emotional regulation. The paper acknowledges limitations in the evaluation of certain findings, such as in Islam and Hinduism. These shortcomings, however, are a reflection of the existing literature and its deficiencies. Empirical findings indicate mental health practices are complex and are multifaceted in their effects.
Evidently, religion serves a parallel role to psychiatric services in improving mental health. Despite its perceived benefits, the findings surrounding religions' role in mental health suffer from conflicting, and sometimes contradictory, results. Additionally, a disproportionate amount of empirical findings seem to be Buddhist-predominant, while other religions are underrepresented in the research. Regarding research barriers, the methodological approaches implemented to study the practices of religious followers vary, though much of the research was brought from qualitative or case-based studies, impeding generalizability. Another noteworthy issue is that many studies do not utilize standardized, psychiatric measures.
== Future Outlook ==
Despite significant changes to the mental health environment in Sri Lanka, the current legal framework shaping mental health in the country has not been updated since 1956. A Cambridge University Press article detailed many limitations of the Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956, including discrepancies between the legal provisions of involuntary admissions and modern practices, potential exposure to trauma through extra-legal detentions of the mentally ill, and an absence of legal guidelines addressing the restraint of violent patients<ref name=":6" />. Participants from Sri Lanka reported in a comparative legislative questionnaire that they felt the mental health laws were "outdated" and descriptions of clinical roles remained ambiguous<ref name=":16" />. A draft mental health legislation from 2007 includes provisions for human rights, but due to "bureaucratic processes" and a "lack of consensus", the draft has not been offically approved.
These limitations pose challenges to the standardization of mental healthcare admissions and may impact the rights of detained patients. Detained patients may have their human rights violated due to a lack of an up-to-date legal framework, thereby impeding the identification of such violations. Additionally, with the lack of clarity on clinical roles, clinical responsibilities may not be routinely recognized and observed, leading to role confusion and potential legal ramifications<ref name=":16">{{Cite journal|last=Dey|first=Sangeeta|last2=Mellsop|first2=Graham|last3=Diesfeld|first3=Kate|last4=Dharmawardene|first4=Vajira|last5=Mendis|first5=Susitha|last6=Chaudhuri|first6=Sreemanti|last7=Deb|first7=Aniruddha|last8=Huq|first8=Nafisa|last9=Ahmed|first9=Helal Uddin|date=2019-10-24|title=Comparing legislation for involuntary admission and treatment of mental illness in four South Asian countries|url=https://ijmhs.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7|journal=International Journal of Mental Health Systems|volume=13|issue=1|pages=67|doi=10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7|issn=1752-4458|pmc=6813093|pmid=31666805}}</ref>.

Stagnation in policy development leaves Sri Lanka without a practical, up-to-date, and comprehensive mental health legislation, which could put both clinicians and patients at risk. Future reforms should include clarification on the treatment and detention process of involuntary admissions of patients and a clear delineation of clinical roles and their responsibilities. Without the necessary reforms to advance Sri Lankan mental health legislation, clinicians and vulnerable patients may suffer from a lack of comprehensive oversight.

== Introduction ==
Mental health continues to be a critically relevant topic as the island nation has experienced decades of [[w:Black_July|violent ethnic conflict]], terrorist attacks, war crimes, and economic disruptions. Sri Lanka continues to recover from a [[w:Sri_Lankan_economic_crisis_(2019–2024)|severe economic crisis (2019 - 2024)]], a [[w:Sri_Lankan_civil_war|nearly 30-year civil war ending in 2009]], a [[w:2019_Sri_Lanka_Easter_bombings|2019 terrorist attack]], and continues to face the ripple effects of the [[w:2004_Boxing_Day_tsunami|2004 Boxing Day tsunami]]. The exact effect these major events have had on mental health in the country is "unknown", but the statistics remain alarming despite a declining trend.
Suicide rates in the country during the mid-1990s were the second-highest in the world with ingesting toxic products being the main suicide method. Despite the decline in suicide numbers since then—possibly attributed to Sri Lanka's ban on toxic products—evidence from a 2023 study reports an upward trend in suicide through hanging from 2016 to 2021—independent of the [[w:COVID-19_pandemic_in_Sri_Lanka|COVID-19 pandemic]]. Several risk factors for suicide, such as poverty and economic instability, are still prevalent and even increasing in the country<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakse|first=Thilini|last2=Silva|first2=Tharuka|last3=Hettiarachchi|first3=Nirosha Madhuwanthi|last4=Gunnell|first4=David|last5=Metcalfe|first5=Chris|last6=Spittal|first6=Matthew J.|last7=Knipe|first7=Duleeka|date=2023-01-19|title=The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdowns on Self-Poisoning and Suicide in Sri Lanka: An Interrupted Time Series Analysis|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9914278/|journal=International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health|volume=20|issue=3|pages=1833|doi=10.3390/ijerph20031833|issn=1660-4601|pmc=9914278|pmid=36767200}}</ref>.

==Historical Development of Mental Health Services==
In the 1800s, established care for mental health began shifting primarily from indigenous practices, mainly derived from [[w:Ayurveda|Ayurveda medicine]], [[w:Siddha_medicine|Siddha medicine]], and [[w:Unani_medicine|Unani medicine]], to a Western model<ref name=":0">Gambheera, H.

=== Adoption of a Western-based mental healthcare model and issuances of ordinances ===
In 1839, [[w:James_Alexander_Stewart-Mackenzie|James Alexander Stewart-Mackenzie]], the 7th Governor of British Ceylon, released the Lunacy Ordinance, authorizing municipal authorities to create lunatic asylums for the mentally ill in the country<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":2">{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=6&Itemid=125&lang=en|title=History - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-10}}</ref>. The ordinance was concerned with the legal frameworks of detaining individuals considered dangerous to others or individuals falsely presenting themselves as mentally ill, and not on medical treatments to alleviate the conditions of detained individuals. UK psychiatrist [[w:Edward_Mapother|Edward Mapother]] critiqued the ordinance during his 1937 inspection of British Ceylon's mental health institutions in a series of reports titled ''A Disgrace to a Civilised Community'', remarking that the ordinance "[did] not seem to have contemplated treatment as a contingency to be considered"<ref name=":1">{{Cite book|title=Permeable walls: historical perspectives on hospital and asylum visiting|date=2009|publisher=Rodopi|isbn=978-90-420-2599-8|editor-last=Mooney|editor-first=Graham|series=Clio medica|location=Amsterdam New York, NY|editor-last2=Reinarz|editor-first2=Jonathan}}</ref>.
In 1840, the 1839 Ordinance was repealed and replaced by the 1840 Ordinance. The 1839 Ordinance was almost identical to the 1840 Ordinance, except the removal of two previous requirements: the requirement for official medical diagnoses of the mentally insane and the mandate to maintain adequate staff-to-patient ratios within lunatic asylums<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal|last=Alwis|first=L. A. P. de|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V. L.|last3=Mendis|first3=T. S. S.|last4=Abhayanayaka|first4=C.|date=2024-12-31|title=The development of laws related to the disposal of forensic patients in Sri Lanka: A historical review|url=https://sljpsyc.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/sljpsyc.v15i2.8569|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Psychiatry|language=en-US|volume=15|issue=2|doi=10.4038/sljpsyc.v15i2.8569|issn=2012-6883}}</ref>.
In 1873, a third Ordinance was released. It included linguistic changes, where the term, "insane", was replaced with "of unsound mind". The Ordinance also gave more power to medical professionals in determining insanity diagnoses, and more power to detainees in appealing their commitment to the mental asylum. Despite this Ordinance being the most comprehensive outlook on mental healthcare in the country at the time, the legal frameworks behind the detainment of the criminally insane were left identical to previous ordinances<ref name=":3" />.
=== Development of mental asylums ===
At the time the 1839 ordinance was released, mentally ill patients were placed either in prisons throughout the country or leprosy hospitals, such as the [[w:Hendala_Leprosy_Hospital|Hendala Leprosy Hospital]] in the Gampaha district<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3" />. After the creation of the first mental asylum in Borella in 1846, patients from the Hendala Leprosy Hospital were transferred to the institute in Borella. Overcrowding soon became an issue and patients institutionalized at the Borella mental asylum were sent to prisons across the country. [[File:Edward Mapother.jpg|thumb|A portrait taken of Edward Mapother during his time working at [[w:Maudsley_Hospital|Maudsley Hospital]] in London.
]]
As medical institutions were being made to house the mentally insane, another mental asylum was created in the [[w:Cinnamon_Gardens|Cinnamon Gardens]] area of Colombo in 1884, though this mental asylum faced overcrowding in just one year<ref name=":0" />. Treatment in these asylums was limited to occupational and protection therapy, failing to provide treatment for the root causes of the mental disorders.
In 1926, the Angoda Mental Hospital was established, scantily alleviating the severe overcrowding issues that were plaguing the preceding mental asylums. Despite the addition of 1,700 beds to the facility, treatment was still vastly limited and the patients were left in significantly poor conditions.
=== Edward Mapother's 1937 inspection of British Ceylon ===
Edward Mapother was born in Dublin, Ireland, on July 12, 1881 and moved to London when he was 7 years old<ref>{{Cite book|title=Madness to mental illness: a history of the Royal College of Psychiatrists|last=Bewley|first=Thomas|date=2008|publisher=RCPsych Publications ; Distributed in North America by Balogh International|isbn=978-1-904671-35-0|location=London : [S.l.]}}</ref>. Mapother attained his M.D. in 1908. While Mapother was the Medical Superintendent of Maudsley Hospital in London, England, he was invited to inspect British Ceylon's mental health institutions by Dr S. T. Gunasekara, the first Medical Director of British Ceylon<ref name=":1" />.
In Mapother's visit, he commented that the Angoda Mental Hospital had the atmosphere of "a prison that is neglected and dilapidated"<ref name=":1" />. Overcrowding was still a major issue, with the institute hosting 3,000 patients—more than double the intended capacity. Patients were sleeping on mats and were clearly out of reach of adequate treatment. Mapother also noted that only 4% of public health expenditure in the country was being set for hospitals, drawing a stark comparison to London's 25%<ref name=":1" />. Mapother offered a vivid and grim account of the hospital in his reports:
<blockquote>
The floor, roof and walls of each cell consist alike of drab cement without any attempt at colouring or decoration. High up in one wall is a small window with stout iron bars. In the floor is a large hole into which the patient may pass his motion and urine. These cells are incompletely divided from one another by a partition which does not reach the roof so that the noise and stink from any one cell may reach at least all the others of the same row. Into these empty cells I was informed that the most noisy and troublesome patients in the hospital; were turned at night completely naked. The doors of the cell contain no observation window, and considering the violent character of many of these patients there is every ground for believing that the doors are rarely opened in the night by the solitary attendant on duty. It needs little imagination to picture the suffering of any patient in an early stage of bodily illness passing a night under such conditions, a situation which must frequently arise. I am told that the noise proceeding from this building is like that on a bad night in a menagerie<ref name=":0" />.</blockquote>Mapother proposed a series of reinforcements to the legal, institutional, and medical frameworks of mental health care in British Ceylon. This included the decentralization of the psychiatric services, a reworking of the Lunacy Ordinance to incorporate treatment into the legal framework, and the establishment of a separate service of medical professionals dedicated to psychiatry. Mapother's recommendations led to several of the best local medical professionals to be sent to London for extensive training in psychiatry, while nurses from England were sent to British Ceylon to supervise hospital operations and train local staff<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />.
On August 25, 1938, the Executive Committee of Health approved the strategies proposed by Mapother, though the Government was unable to fully implement all of Mapother's interventions due to the 'heavy cost'. In fact, the Government decided to forego one of his proposals, which was the suggestion of a "Visiting Committee". This committee was tasked to "meet at the hospital, carry out inspections, and make recommendations" to the Executive Committee of Health<ref name=":1" />. The Government realized that deficiencies in their mental healthcare system could prove to be "costly" for their reputation. Mapother was reportedly enraged when he found out. Mapother intended to contact the Secretary of State regarding the "distortion" of his plans, but was interrupted by events preluding to [[w:World_War_II|World War II]]<ref name=":1" />. Mapother passed away on March 20, 1940, without materializing his follow-up plans.
=== Post-Mapother developments and further innovations ===
[[File:Sri Lanka districts Colombo.svg|thumb|A map of Sri Lanka highlighting the Colombo District, where the capital is located.
|right|250px]]Mapother's insights on the mental healthcare structure in British Ceylon proved to be the catalyst of massive renovations. In 1939, the first outpatient clinic was established in the [[w:National_Hospital_of_Sri_Lanka|National Hospital of Sri Lanka]] in Colombo. The first trained Ceylonese psychiatrists began practice in the 1940s, leading to the establishment of the first neuropsychiatric clinic in Colombo in 1943. Treatments for the mentally ill improved dramatically, as protectional therapy expanded to [[w:insulin_shock_therapy|insulin shock therapy]] and [[w:Electroconvulsive_therapy|cardiazol convulsive therapy]]<ref name=":4">{{Cite journal|last=Kathriarachchi|first=Samudra T.|last2=Seneviratne|first2=V. Lakmi|last3=Amarakoon|first3=Luckshika|date=2019-06|title=Development of Mental Health Care in Sri Lanka: Lessons Learned|url=https://journals.lww.com/tpsy/fulltext/2019/33020/development_of_mental_health_care_in_sri_lanka_.1.aspx|journal=Taiwanese Journal of Psychiatry|language=en-US|volume=33|issue=2|pages=55|doi=10.4103/TPSY.TPSY_15_19|issn=1028-3684}}</ref>. Mapother's advocation for the decentralization of services were further honored through the 1947 establishment of a first child guidance clinic in Colombo General Hospital<ref name=":0" />.
In 1948, British Ceylon was granted independence from the British after the [[w:Sri_Lankan_independence_movement|Sri Lankan independence movement]]. Changes in the mental healthcare structure were not immediate following independence, but rapid expansions of mental healthcare services were still ongoing.
The following decades saw positive institutional developments, such as the creation of a second hospital in [[w:Mulleriyawa|Mulleriyawa]] in 1957, and the creation of a psychiatric inpatient unit in Colombo General Hospital in 1967—effectively granting the city of Colombo the luxury of hosting the top psychiatric care in the country<ref name=":5">{{Cite book|url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|title=Mental Health System Development in Sri Lanka|last=Minas|first=Harry|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Hall|first3=Teresa|date=2017|publisher=Springer US|isbn=978-1-4899-7997-1|editor-last=Minas|editor-first=Harry|location=Boston, MA|pages=59–77|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-1-4899-7999-5_4|editor-last2=Lewis|editor-first2=Milton}}</ref>. The 1950s was also the start of psychopharmacological innovations, with the introduction of [[w:Lithium_(medication)|lithium]] and long-acting injectable antipsychotics ([[w:Depot_injection|depot]] [[w:Antipsychotic|neuroleptics]]) in the succeeding years<ref name=":4" />. Additionally, the number of public psychiatrist positions increased by 400% from 1953 to 1967<ref name=":5" />.
After 1960, mental health services were being established beyond the capital to other cities in the country<ref name=":2" />.
In 1980, the [[w:Postgraduate_Institute_of_Medicine|Postgraduate Institute of Medicine]] began a program where students would enroll in a 5-year medical course and attain an MD in psychiatry, curbing the need for Sri Lankan medical students to be sent abroad to complete their training. Many of the medical students sent abroad for training never returned to Sri Lanka to practice, resulting in a "1:500,000 to 1000,000" ratio of psychiatrists to patients on "most occasions"<ref name=":0" />.
=== Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956 ===
In 1956, the 1873 Ordinance was revised a second time and renamed the "Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956"<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6">{{Cite journal|last=Hapangama|first=Aruni|last2=Mendis|first2=Jayan|last3=Kuruppuarachchi|first3=K. a. L. A.|date=2023-02|title=Why are we still living in the past? Sri Lanka needs urgent and timely reforms of its archaic mental health laws|url=https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bjpsych-international/article/why-are-we-still-living-in-the-past-sri-lanka-needs-urgent-and-timely-reforms-of-its-archaic-mental-health-laws/B18B03DC962CC6F09BC6D7877E390EE4|journal=BJPsych International|language=en|volume=20|issue=1|pages=4–6|doi=10.1192/bji.2022.26|issn=2056-4740|pmc=9909436|pmid=36812028}}</ref>. Another linguistic development is seen with the new revision as "lunacy" was replaced with "mental disease"<ref name=":6" />. The Ordinance paved the way for community-based services to be delivered to patients closer to their residences rather than solely allocating services to just hospitals. This led to the creation of a [[w:WHO|WHO]]-backed community clinic near the [[w:University_of_Colombo|University of Colombo]] in the 1970s, where the focus was to eventually ease patients in the Angoda Mental Hospital back into the general population<ref name=":5" />.
=== Developments from the 1990s ===
The 1990s and onwards saw further positive developments in framing the mental healthcare system, including the establishment of the [https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=featured&Itemid=101&lang=en Directorate of Mental Health] in 1998. The Directorate of Mental Health is a part of the [[w:Ministry_of_Health_(Sri_Lanka)|Ministry of Health]] who is responsible for the monitoring and implementation of mental health programs across the country<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?lang=en|title=Home - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-12}}</ref>. As of 2025, the current director of the Directorate of Mental Health is Dr. Chithramalee de Silva<ref name=":2" />.
On November 11, 2005, the Mental Health Policy was approved by the Government of Sri Lanka, advocating for establishments of more de-centralized, community-based mental health services across the country beyond the capital (Colombo). The policy aimed to concisely define the rigorous standards needed to be completed for each respected medical professional, including psychiatrists and clinical psychologists<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Rajapakshe|first=Onali Bimalka Wickramaseckara|last2=Mohan|first2=Mohapradeep|last3=Singh|first3=Swaran Preet|date=2023-05|title=Development of adolescent mental health services in Sri Lanka|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10895478/|journal=BJPsych international|volume=20|issue=2|pages=41–43|doi=10.1192/bji.2022.32|issn=2056-4740|pmc=10895478|pmid=38414998}}</ref>. The policy also included a new position, the "Medical Officer of Mental Health", who oversees and assists in the implementation of community-based mental health services<ref name=":0" />. This same year, the Sri Lankan government began implementing psychological services in state institutions, such as the military<ref name=":8" />.
In 2007, the National Mental Health Advisory Council (NMHAC) was created to serve as an 'advisory' board for the Ministry of Health on what actions should be executed by the Directorate of Mental Health<ref name=":7">{{Cite web|url=https://mentalhealth.health.gov.lk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9&Itemid=220&lang=en|title=Introduction - Directorate of Mental Health|website=mentalhealth.health.gov.lk|access-date=2025-05-12}}</ref>.
In 2008, the Angoda Mental Hospital was restructured as the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)<ref name=":7" />.
=== Modern-day Sri Lanka ===
[[File:Feeding Children in Sri Lanka.jpg|left|thumb|Despite the noteworthy improvements in mental healthcare services in recent decades, mental health remains a significant issue due to rising poverty. ]]
As of 2025, the Mental Health Act (mental health legislation) has been undergoing development since 2005 and is currently awaiting to be considered for the final stage of approval. This is expected to replace the 1956 Mental Health Ordinance<ref name=":7" />.
Currently, there are 7 tertiary care hospitals, 61 adult patient units, 3 child inpatient units, and 1 forensic unit. The [[w:Lady_Ridgeway_Hospital_for_Children|Lady Ridgeway Hospital]] in Colombo and the Sirimavo Bandaranayke Specialized Children Hospital in Kandy are tailored towards alleviating children with [[w:Learning_disability|SLD]], [[w:ADHD|ADHD]], [[w:Autism_Spectrum_Disorder|ASD]] and family support for diagnosed children. As of 2017, 22 rehabilitation centers exist through the country, including 7 alcohol rehab centers<ref name=":7" />. [expand more on SL Gov't efforts here...]
Despite the impressive advancements in mental healthcare in the last couple of decades, Sri Lanka still suffers significant mental health issues due to increasing poverty levels in the country. The [[w:World_Bank|World Bank]] reported that [https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2024/04/08/eesc-a08.html the poverty levels in Sri Lanka increased from 11% in 2019 to 26% in 2024], with 60% of Sri Lankan households facing "decreased incomes"<ref>Lakhtakia, Shruti, Atapattu Mudiyanselage, Udahiruni Shashadari Atapat, Walker, Richard Ancrum. ''Sri Lanka Development Update - Bridge to Recovery (English).'' Washington, D.C.: World Bank Group. <nowiki>http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099634104012434919</nowiki></ref>. This was churned by Sri Lanka's excessive foreign debt, economic troubles stemming from [[w:Gotabaya_Rajapaksa|Gotabaya Rajapaksa]]'s presidential term, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the [[w:Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine|ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia (2022)]].
According to [[w:NYU|New York University]] graduate student [https://gc-cuny.academia.edu/NadiaAugustyniak Nadia Augustyniak] in her 2025 overview of Sri Lanka's public mental healthcare system, poverty-induced financial precarity remains a major obstacle to receiving access to mental healthcare services. Even though trauma from adverse weather and conflict is deleterious to mental health, issues originating from every-day struggles, especially struggles related to poverty, could arguably play a more significant role<ref name=":8">{{Cite journal|last=Augustyniak|first=Nadia|date=2025-06-01|title=Public mental healthcare and economic vulnerability in Sri Lanka|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2666560324000926|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100387|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2024.100387|issn=2666-5603}}</ref>.
== Impact of Conflicts, Terrorism, Political Instability & Natural Disasters ==
=== Sri Lankan Civil War ===
The '''Sri Lankan Civil War''' was a domestic conflict that took place between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (abbreviated as the ''LTTE),'' a militant group formed in the 1970s as a result of rising tensions between the majority Sinhalese and minority Tamil population. The group is considered a terrorist organization<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.start.umd.edu/baad/database/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-ltte-1998.html|title=BAAD - Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) - 1998 {{!}} START.umd.edu|website=www.start.umd.edu|access-date=2025-06-09}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/liberation-tigers-tamil-eelam-aka-tamil-tigers-sri-lanka-separatists|title=Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (aka Tamil Tigers) (Sri Lanka, separatists) {{!}} Council on Foreign Relations|last=Bhattacharji|first=Preeti|website=www.cfr.org|language=en|access-date=2025-06-09}}</ref>. Through brutal massacres, assassinations, and suicide bombings, the LTTE waged decades of terror which led to civilian displacement, infrastructure collapse, and the reduction of mental health services available in the northern region.[[File:DFID-funded, UNHCR emergency shelter tents, in the IDP camp at Menik Farm, Sri Lanka (3694081492).jpg|thumb|350x350px|An IDP camp in Menik Farm, Sri Lanka in 2009 ([https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-19703826 now closed]).

The first district-wide cross-sectional multistage cluster sample survey was conducted in the [[w:Jaffna_District|Jaffna District]] shortly after the war ended. The study's sample included 1517 households and 2 internally displaced peoples camps. With a response rate of 92%, the study found that symptoms for PTSD were found in 7% of participants, symptoms of anxiety were found in 32.6% of participants, and symptoms of depression were found in 22.2% of participants. 2% of respondents were currently placed in internally displaced peoples camps at the time of the study, 29.5% were freshly resettled from the internally displaced peoples camps, and the rest of the participants (68.5%) were never placed into camps. In comparison to residents who were never placed into camps, participants that were actively held in camps tend to report more symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. The researchers also found that women were especially vulnerable to deteriorating mental health conditions. This was explained by two factors: women having to assume the roles of both the father and the mother in the family setting after the, either voluntary or forced, departure of the husband to war, and sexist violence<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Husain|first=Farah|last2=Anderson|first2=Mark|last3=Lopes Cardozo|first3=Barbara|last4=Becknell|first4=Kristin|last5=Blanton|first5=Curtis|last6=Araki|first6=Diane|last7=Kottegoda Vithana|first7=Eeshara|date=2011-08-03|title=Prevalence of War-Related Mental Health Conditions and Association With Displacement Status in Postwar Jaffna District, Sri Lanka|url=https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2011.1052|journal=JAMA|volume=306|issue=5|pages=522–531|doi=10.1001/jama.2011.1052|issn=0098-7484}}</ref>.

=== 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami ===
The '''2004 Boxing Day Tsunami''' was a natural disaster where a tsunami spawned off a 9.2–9.3 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Aceh in Indonesia on December 26. The tsunami greatly affected the coastlines of the country, with the death toll reaching to about 35,000 deaths. In addition, 90,000 houses were destroyed and 516,000 people were forced to migrate due to severe infrastructural damage<ref name=":5" />.

A few weeks following the attacks, Muslims in Sri Lanka were subjected to [[w:2019_anti-Muslim_riots_in_Sri_Lanka|violent, coordinated riots]] masterminded by Sinhalese national forces<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Mujahidin|first=Muhammad Saekul|date=2023-07-03|title=Extremism and Islamophobia Against the Muslim Minority in Sri Lanka|url=https://www.ajis.org/|journal=American Journal of Islam and Society|language=en|volume=40|issue=1-2|pages=213–241|doi=10.35632/ajis.v40i1-2.3135|issn=2690-3741}}</ref>.

Literature regarding the impact of the 2019 Easter Bombings on mental health are limited and further research should be done in the field.
=== 2019-2024 Economic Crisis ===
The '''2019-2024 Economic Crisis''' refers to a 5 year period where the Sri Lankan economy experienced massive inflation and an abrupt hike in prices on basic, everyday items. It is the worse economic crisis the country has faced since the Sri Lankans were granted independence in 1948. Schools in Sri Lanka were forced to postpone examinations due to paper shortages. Gas shortages led to long lines at gas stations, some lasting for days, throughout the island. Shortages in electricity, cooking gas, and aviation were additional results of the economic crisis.
Healthcare workers faced a barrage of mental health during the crisis, including a lopsided work-life balance due to unprecedented demand, increased stress and mental fatigue from a lack of resources and personnel, unhealthy coping mechanisms, job dissatisfaction, and a reduction in work quality. Such effects perpetuate a self-enforcing cycle of psychologically distressed mental healthcare workers providing subpar services, affecting patients and amplifying mental health issues experienced by both the workforce and their patients<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dilogini|first=S.|last2=Grace|first2=H.

Medical students from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Colombo reported that the economic crisis forced abrupt changes in dietary consumption, increased hopelessness in the future, increased stress and anxiety, and a decrease in interest in pursuing a "clinical post-graduate career"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Adikaranayake|first=Pesala Randika|last2=Perera|first2=Anusha Nimrod|last3=Nilaweera|first3=Akhila Imantha|last4=Fernando|first4=Desha Rajni|last5=Wijayaratne|first5=Dilushi Rowena|date=2025-07-01|title=Effects of Sri Lankan economic crisis on health, lifestyle and education of medical students in Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo – an online survey|url=https://doi.org/10.1186/s12909-025-07506-y|journal=BMC Medical Education|language=en|volume=25|issue=1|pages=938|doi=10.1186/s12909-025-07506-y|issn=1472-6920|pmc=12211748}}</ref>. 283 government-school teachers completed a web-based cross-sectional survey in April 2024, with majority of the participants reporting a severe reduction in monthly income & 1/3 of participants exhibiting "clinical levels of psychological distress"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Senevirathne|first=C.

A study published in that same year reported that out of 261 nurses working in teaching hospitals, 91.6% were forced to allocate their finances to strictly "general needs", while more than 50% looked into international opportunism for employment.

The detrimental effects the crisis has had on the mental health sector reveal a concerning area of underappreciation and under compensation by the Sri Lankan government towards a critical sector for the well-being of the country. Comprehensive mental health interventions need to be prepared and ready to implement at times of national emergencies.
== Present-Day Challenges ==
=== Ethnic tension ===
Despite the end of the Sri Lankan civil war and the introduction of pluralist policies, such as the [https://srilankaembassy.fr/sites/default/files/files/media/pdf/NationalPolicy-English.pdf 2017 National Policy on Reconciliation and Coexistence] under the Sirisena administration, tensions amongst members of the ethnic groups still persist in the country. Evidence of these tensions was found through a 2022 study conducted in the Ratnapura district, where religious leaders expressed skepticisms, through semi-structured interviews, for "conflict transformation". A Tamil citizen of the Ratnapura community recounted that they were forced to "hide in jungles" and consume "dirty water in drainage[s]" due to scarcity of food and drinkable water as a result of the conflict. In certain personal accounts, ethnic conflicts appear to affect the social behavior and identity of the majority ethnic group. One Sinhala participant recounted his objection to the war-time retaliatory destruction of a shop run by a Tamil shopkeeper was met with interrogative questions about "whether [he was] Sinhalese or not". Both accounts convey interethnic tensions stemming from decade-long conflicts<ref>Jayathilaka, Aruna & Gamage, Sayuri. (2024). Role of Buddhist and Hindu Religious Leaders Role of Buddhist and Hindu Religious Leaders in the Post-War Conflict Transformation Process: A Study Based on Rathnapura District in Srilanka. ''Retrieved from'' https://gandhimargjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Volume-46-Issue-1-April-June-2024.pdf#page=66</ref>.
Beyond individual accounts and the official end of the civil war, the minority groups in the country continue to feel ostracized. The Sri Lankan Tamil population remains dissatisfied with the Sri Lankan government and their accountability of perpetrators of war crimes and information on the whereabouts of [[w:Enforced_disappearances_in_Sri_Lanka|thousands of enforced disappearances]] that took place from the 1980s. Additionally, rising anti-Muslim sentiment in recent years contribute to increased ethnic tensions, a stark contrast to the previous centuries of peaceful co-existence between the groups.
[[File:Bodu Bala Sena symbol.svg|thumb|The symbol for Bodu Bala Sena, a nationalistic Sinhala Buddhist group criticized for catalyzing ethnic tensions in Sri Lanka.]]
Laws passed by the Sri Lankan government, such as the [[w:Prevention_of_Terrorism_Act_(Sri_Lanka)|Prevention of Terrorism Act]] and [[wikipedia:Anti-conversion_law#Sri_Lanka|anti-conversion laws]], have forced the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom to label Sri Lanka as a nation that "[engages] or [tolerates] severe violations of religious freedom" in their 2024 report. The government has been criticized by human rights organizations for "disproportionately targeting religious minorities"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Jayawickreme|first=Nuwan|last2=Jayawickreme|first2=Eranda|last3=McCaffrey|first3=Amy Z.|last4=Thiruvarangan|first4=Mahendran|date=2025-06-01|title=Mental health futures in post-war Sri Lanka: Resilience, relational pluralism, and implementation pathways|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666560325000775|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100465|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2025.100465|issn=2666-5603}}</ref>. Additionally, the implementation of the three dominant languages, English, Sinhala, and Tamil, across formal education and government services have been lackadaisical, narrowing opportunities of foundational social interactions between the groups. Persistent discrimination and prejudice towards minority groups can lead to an array of complex and self-deprecating mental health issues.
Effort to mitigate ethnic tensions include strategies like [[w:Community-based_participatory_research|community-based participatory research]] (CBPR), task-sharing, and securing online mental health services in order to expand mental health services. However, the implementation of evidence-based plans has been met with difficulty due to inaccessibility, high costs, and shortages of adequately-trained personnel.
Movements aiming for improved intra group and inter group coexistences, such as the Jaffna People’s Forum for Coexistence developed in the wake of the 2019 Easter bombings, should be emphasized on a systematic and multi-level basis, including but not limited to education, public sectors, and within communities. Pluralistic values should be stressed across both private and public schools to foster cultural sensitivity and tolerance. Measures should be taken against threatening extremist groups promoting sectarian hostility, such as the [[w:Bodu_Bala_Sena|Bodu Bala Sena]].
=== Poverty ===
It has been proven that poverty significantly increases the chances of developing mental illnesses. This is further amplified by possible discrimination<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Knifton|first=Lee|last2=Inglis|first2=Greig|date=2020-10|title=Poverty and mental health: policy, practice and research implications|url=https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7525587/|journal=BJPsych bulletin|volume=44|issue=5|pages=193–196|doi=10.1192/bjb.2020.78|issn=2056-4694|pmc=7525587|pmid=32744210}}</ref>. Poverty also affects the ability for individuals with mental health concerns to receive the treatment they need. Due to the repercussions of the economic crisis, clients in Sri Lanka could not attend further counseling sessions<ref name=":8" />. Poverty from 2021 to 2022 [https://databankfiles.worldbank.org/public/ddpext_download/poverty/987B9C90-CB9F-4D93-AE8C-750588BF00QA/current/Global_POVEQ_LKA.pdf reportedly doubled], with future forecasts predicting the poverty line to "remain above 25 percent". Suicide has been empirically linked to economic hardships in previous studies<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kithulagoda|first=A. S.|last2=Gunasinghe|first2=U. C. M.|last3=Senevirathna|first3=J. M. M.

A 2013 study done on suicidal patients in [[w:Batticaloa_Teaching_Hospital|Batticaloa Teaching Hospital]] revealed 76% of patients who attempted suicide were from rural areas while 15% were from urban areas<ref>{{Cite book|url=http://ir.lib.seu.ac.lk/handle/123456789/1457|title=The influence of common risk factors for the patient with attempted suicide hospitalized at the teaching hospital, Batticaloa|last=Kisokanth|first=G.|last2=Najeem|first2=M.

The Sri Lankan government should consider the economical impacts that poverty has on mental health and implement ways to aid poverty-stricken individuals with mental health concerns.
=== Stigmas ===
Stigma consists of the "combined effect of prejudice, ignorance and discrimination."<ref name=":10">{{Cite web|url=http://www.researchgate.net/publication/233990797_The_Stigma_of_Mental_Illness_in_Sri_Lanka_The_Perspectives_of_Community_Mental_Health_Workers|title=(PDF) The Stigma of Mental Illness in Sri Lanka: The Perspectives of Community Mental Health Workers|website=ResearchGate|language=en|access-date=2025-07-25}}</ref>.
A 2012 interview consisting of nine participants (two doctors, three nurses, one occupational therapist, one development worker, and two volunteers) revealed a number of concerning societal viewpoints on individuals with mental health concerns. The interviews revealed that negative judgements were not only levied against the individual with the mental illness, but also the family. Families hid mentally ill family members from the public to avoid "shame" and possible hinderances in marriage proposals. Views that mentally ill individuals were "violent" served as the motivating factor behind socially isolating those with mental illness from their communities. Interviewees mentioned that individuals dealing with mental health challenges would have stones and "derogatory names" launched at them. A lack of community awareness regarding mental health and negative portrayals of mentally ill individuals in media exacerbates stigmatization, though the researchers commented that the media was "improving" in their depiction of mental illness. Beliefs that illnesses are caused by "spirits" can be problematic for individuals dealing with mental health issues and serves as evidence to poor mental health awareness in the country. Mental health workers themselves believed that they were being stigmatized, as mental health is reportedly not taken as seriously as physical health. Despite the intriguing perspectives provided, the small sample size and usage of snow sampling raise questionable concerns regarding the contextualization of the results<ref name=":10" />.
Improving media portrayal of subjects concerning mental health and involving community members in interventions dealing with mental health issues are ways that could destigmatize mental health amongst communities in Sri Lanka. Tying collaborations between allopathic services and traditional healers instead of having these two services work individually could enhance engagement between traditional medicine and Western medicine.
=== Suicide Trends & Risk Factors ===
Suicide is defined as "the act of killing oneself deliberately, initiated and performed by the person concerned in the full knowledge or expectation of its fatal outcome"<ref name=":11">{{Cite book|title=The neuroscience of suicidal behavior|last=Heeringen|first=Kees van|date=2018|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-1-316-60290-4|series=Cambridge fundamentals of neuroscience in psychology|location=Cambridge, United Kingdom New York, NY, USA Port Melbourne, VIC, Australia New Delhi, India Singapore}}</ref>. Although Sri Lanka has seen a significant reduction in suicide rates from the mid 1990s due to its banning of extremely toxic pesticide products, suicide and self harm remains a significant issue. The suicide rate per 100,000 people increased from 14.0 in 2019 to [https://www.who.int/srilanka/news/detail/06-09-2024-world-suicide-prevention-day-2024--changing-the-narrative-on-suicide 15.0 in 2022] (according to WHO). On average, 27 males per 100,000 males and 5 females per 100,000 females committed suicide in 2022<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kithulagoda|first=A. S.|last2=Gunasinghe|first2=U. C.

Hanging appears to be the most used method for suicide for both males and females, with studies revealing a steady increase in recent years<ref name=":12">{{Cite journal|last=Bandara|first=Piumee|last2=Wickrama|first2=Prabath|last3=Sivayokan|first3=Sambasivamoorthy|last4=Knipe|first4=Duleeka|last5=Rajapakse|first5=Thilini|date=2024-04-17|title=Reflections on the trends of suicide in Sri Lanka, 1997–2022: The need for continued vigilance|url=https://journals.plos.org/globalpublichealth/article?id=10.1371/journal.pgph.0003054|journal=PLOS Global Public Health|language=en|volume=4|issue=4|pages=e0003054|doi=10.1371/journal.pgph.0003054|issn=2767-3375|pmc=11023397|pmid=38630779}}</ref>.
From 2023 to 2024, a group of researchers from the [[w:Eastern_University,_Sri_Lanka|Eastern University in Sri Lanka]] assessed 828 patients admitted to the Teaching Hospital in [[w:Batticaloa,_Sri_Lanka|Batticaloa, Sri Lanka]] for attempted suicide. They concluded that suicide prevention programs should be attuned to younger people (ages 15 to 35 in the study), emphasize the importance of education and reducing unemployment, and increase social support in the Tamil community. Despite the relevant insights into certain aspects of an average Sri Lankan's life that could lead to suicidal ideation (ie, poverty), the results from this study suffer in external validity as 90% of the patients were Tamil and over 50% were between 16 and 25 years. In addition, correlations between suicide and unemployment rates have been questioned, with [[w:Austerity|austerity]] being a more reliable indicator of suicide rates than unemployment rates<ref name=":11" />. Further comprehensive studies on risk factors relating to suicide should be studied to assess correlations between unemployment rates and austerity measures.
The WHO suggests implementing evidence-based suicide prevention programs, such as [https://www.who.int/initiatives/live-life-initiative-for-suicide-prevention LIVE LIFE], to reduce the national suicide rate<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.who.int/srilanka/news/detail/06-09-2024-world-suicide-prevention-day-2024--changing-the-narrative-on-suicide|title=World Suicide Prevention day 2024 “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”|website=www.who.int|language=en|access-date=2025-07-29}}</ref>. Media depictionss of suicidal methods, such as hanging, can lead to sensationalism and the media should be cautious of such displays in movies and TV shows<ref name=":12" />. Awareness of depression and other mental health issues can serve as a safeguard against suicidal ideation in Sri Lankan men and women.
== Role of Religion ==
According to the last demographic report (2012), 70.2% of Sri Lankans are Buddhist, 12.6% are Hindus, 9.7% are Muslims, and 7.4% are Christians. The Theravada Buddhist community makes up the majority in several provinces throughout the country<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-religious-freedom/sri-lanka/|title=Sri Lanka|website=United States Department of State|language=en-US|access-date=2025-08-07}}</ref>. Religion, especially Theravada Buddhism, has had a significant influence on not only the historical treatment of mental health in the country, but also everyday life<ref name=":15" />. The [[w:Mahāvaṃsa|''Mahāvaṃsa'']] affirms hospitals treating patients suffering from mental health issues as early as the 4th century BC. Additionally, the 1700s Nayaka king [[w:Kirti_Sri_Rajasinha|Kirthi Sri Rajasinghe]] detailed the implementation of Buddhist philosophy in psychiatry<ref name=":4" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Alwis|first=L.

Modern-day empirical studies have attested to the usefulness of religion in mitigating stress and elevating mental health<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-4276-5_22|title=Religion and Mental Health|last=Schieman|first=Scott|last2=Bierman|first2=Alex|last3=Ellison|first3=Christopher G.|date=2013|publisher=Springer Netherlands|isbn=978-94-007-4276-5|editor-last=Aneshensel|editor-first=Carol S.|location=Dordrecht|pages=457–478|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-94-007-4276-5_22|editor-last2=Phelan|editor-first2=Jo C.|editor-last3=Bierman|editor-first3=Alex}}</ref>.

=== Buddhism ===
27 Sinhalese Buddhists from four Buddhist temples were selected for a series of 70-minute interviews and focus group discussions with the aim of learning the Sinhala Buddhist understanding and experience of spiritual well-being and psychological well-being. The interviewees held spiritual wellness to be the "center" of overall wellness, the "precondition for a successful life"<ref name=":14">{{Cite journal|last=Udayanga|first=Samitha|date=2021-06-30|title=Cultural understanding of ‘spiritual well-being’ and ‘psychological well-being’ among Sinhalese Buddhists in Sri Lanka|url=https://sljss.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Social Sciences|language=en-US|volume=44|issue=1|doi=10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|issn=0258-9710}}</ref>. Sinhala Buddhists believe that wellness cannot be achieved without spiritual tranquility. The report states that participants emphasized that spirituality "cannot be directly intervened" and can only be seen through "[interactions] with society"<ref name=":14" />. Despite the ''athmaya'' (soul) being "unreachable", it can be "intervened", or treated, through the actions of the mind and body with society<ref name=":14" />. One being "psychologically ill" can affect one's spiritual being, as the participants reported in their interviews, and can be affected through "lifestyle stressors, environmental and socio-cultural causes, non-human related causes and bad-karma in the past lives"<ref name=":14" />.
The researchers concluded that despite Sinhala Buddhists not being able to articulately decipher the discrepancies between psychological well-being and spiritual well-being, they are able to conceptualize and maintain a culturally embedded understanding between the two, serving as reputable evidence of the integration of mental health in Sinhala Buddhist practices. However, it is important to note that these results come from a very small sample size and cannot be generalized to all Sri Lankan Buddhists.
In addition, a 2009 study found that a belief in karma was correlated with poor health. However, an earlier study found a positive correlation between the reliance on the [[w:Karma_in_Buddhism|Buddhist concept of karma]] and trauma, inferencing Buddhist karma being a prevalent response to trauma<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Levy|first=Becca R.|last2=Slade|first2=Martin D.|last3=Ranasinghe|first3=Padmini|date=2009-03|title=Causal thinking after a tsunami wave: karma beliefs, pessimistic explanatory style and health among Sri Lankan survivors|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19229624|journal=Journal of Religion and Health|volume=48|issue=1|pages=38–45|doi=10.1007/s10943-008-9162-5|issn=1573-6571|pmid=19229624}}</ref>. Overall, the effectiveness of karma as a coping mechanism appears to be conflicted.
Studies indicate that other practices of Buddhism seem to be utilized by individuals affected by the war. 40% of Sri Lankan Buddhists affected by the 2004 tsunami found the Buddhist ritual ''Bodhipuja'' to be helpful in dealing with traumatic experiences<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jmvh.org/article/mental-health-and-the-role-of-cultural-and-religious-support-in-the-assistance-of-disabled-veterans-in-sri-lanka/|title=Mental Health and the Role of Cultural and Religious Support in the Assistance of Disabled Veterans in Sri Lanka|website=JMVH|language=en-US|access-date=2025-08-12}}</ref>.
=== Catholicism ===
Catholic counseling refers to "a nuanced and holistic mental health care paradigm that intricately weaves together psychological science with the moral, spiritual, and pastoral traditions of the Catholic Church"<ref name=":13">Perera, U. [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Udeshini-Perera/publication/394095042_Catholic_Counselling_in_Sri_Lanka_Integrating_Faith_Psychology_and_Cultural_Healing/links/6889303af8031739e6098c79/Catholic-Counselling-in-Sri-Lanka-Integrating-Faith-Psychology-and-Cultural-Healing.pdf Catholic Counselling in Sri Lanka: Integrating Faith, Psychology, and Cultural Healing]. July 2025.</ref> and aims to assimilate Catholic theology and evidence-based psychological treatment while including Sri Lankan cultural elements. This is achieved through emphasis on community cohesion and a locally-based understanding of "personhood"<ref name=":13" />.
The origins of Catholic counseling trace back to the introduction of Roman Catholicism to the island in the 1600s, with the focus of the early Sri Lankan Catholic community being on "[[w:Evangelism|evangelization]], education, and sacramental formation". Demand for counseling services in general increased due to the impacts of the Sri Lankan Civil War, where Catholic organizations (Caritas Sri Lanka, Seth Sarana, Subodhi Integral Centre (Piliyandala), etc.) established several Catholic-based trauma-informed programmes for victims of the Civil War. Programmes use group therapy, forgiveness rituals, and narrative repairs to alleviate war trauma.
Examples of integration of Catholic virtues and counseling can be seen in [[w:Cognitive_Behavioral_Therapy|Cognitive Behavioral Therapy]] (CBT), where "hope" and "humility" are used as the frameworks for creating spiritual resilience<ref name=":13" />. The general Christian call of "agape love and acceptance" is echoed by the concept of [[w:Unconditional_positive_regard|unconditional positive regard]]. ''[[w:Lectio_Divina|Lectio Divina]]'' (Catholic prayer and meditation) and ''Marian devotions'' are integrated into therapeutic practices to achieve emotional regulation and mindfulness.
Senior Lecturer [https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Udeshini-Perera Udeshini Perera] of the University of Colombo articulates a critical role of Catholic counseling. She claims that secular counseling fails to address the "spiritual roots of distress and moral confusion". Catholic counseling fills in this gap by integrating "psychological insights with a transcendent orientation, supporting lasting transformation and integrity"<ref name=":13" />.
As of 2025, no formal accreditation or standardized training exists for [[w:Pastoral_counseling|pastoral counselors]] in Sri Lanka, hampering the legitimacy of Catholic counseling. Udeshini Perera remarks that mental health stigma, lack of standardized training, research regarding Catholic counseling effectiveness, and acceptance of the combination of religion and science in a professional setting present challenges for Catholic pastoral counseling in the country. Additionally, Catholic psychiatry in Sri Lanka appears to be under-researched, and evidence of its empirical effects on followers appears sparse. Further research is needed in assessing the empirical effects of Catholic counseling in Sri Lanka.
=== Islam ===
The literature on the empirical effects of Islamic-based psychotherapy in Sri Lanka is limited. Research has revealed a 2012 case study where a 21-year-old Muslim woman was experiencing episodic possession states. The patient ceased attending psychiatric services and opted for religious rituals. The patient reported, in a follow-up visit, that the possession states had been absent for 3 months since her switch to religious rituals. The woman and her family attributed the apparent improvement of her condition to religious rituals<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hanwella|first=Raveen|last2=de Silva|first2=Varuni|last3=Yoosuf|first3=Alam|last4=Karunaratne|first4=Sanjeewani|last5=de Silva|first5=Pushpa|date=2012|title=Religious Beliefs, Possession States, and Spirits: Three Case Studies from Sri Lanka|url=http://www.hindawi.com/journals/crips/2012/232740/|journal=Case Reports in Psychiatry|language=en|volume=2012|pages=1–3|doi=10.1155/2012/232740|issn=2090-682X|pmc=3437272|pmid=22970398}}</ref>.
Future recommendations would be to employ resources to research the foundations of Islamic psychiatry in the country, and to observe the rituals employed and their effects on patients. Studies have found that Islamic prayer can be an effective means of "support and coping"<ref name=":15" />. Seven world-wide case studies using Islamic-based psychotherapy on patients, consisting of religious rituals such as scriptural reading from the [[w:Quran|Quran]], teaching of fundamental Islamic concepts (such as ''[[w:Tawakkul|tawakkul]]''), and active implementation of contemplation (''[[w:Tadabbur|tadabbur]]''), have reported positive effects in decreasing cognitive and emotional symptoms associated with "religious, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety disorder, grief, and substance use disorder.”<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kurhade|first=Chhaya Shantaram|last2=Jagannathan|first2=Aarti|last3=Varambally|first3=Shivarama|last4=Shivanna|first4=Sushrutha|date=2022-01|title=Religion-based interventions for mental health disorders: A systematic review|url=https://journals.lww.com/10.4103/ijoyppp.ijoyppp_14_21|journal=Journal of Applied Consciousness Studies|language=en|volume=10|issue=1|pages=20–33|doi=10.4103/ijoyppp.ijoyppp_14_21|issn=2949-6993}}</ref> Additionally, a community-based study of elderly patients in Bangalore, India receiving Islamic-based psychotherapy observed decreased exhibitions of sleep disorders, eating disorders, and emotional distress<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hafeez|first=Nimin|last2=Sanjay|first2=Thittamaranahalli Varadappa|last3=Puthussery|first3=Yannick Poulose|last4=Madhusudan|first4=Muralidhar|last5=Kariyappa|first5=Poornima Muddaiah|last6=Kulkarni|first6=Sridevi|last7=Raj|first7=Lavanya|date=2023-12-31|title=Spiritual practices among elderly, prevalence, pattern and associated factors: a community-based study from rural Bengaluru, India|url=https://jccpsl.sljol.info/articles/10.4038/jccpsl.v29i4.8610|journal=Journal of the College of Community Physicians of Sri Lanka|language=en|volume=29|issue=4|doi=10.4038/jccpsl.v29i4.8610|issn=1391-3174}}</ref>.
=== Hinduism ===
Despite Hindus being 12.6% of the population of Sri Lanka, the research on Hinduism-based therapy in the country is limited. Ayurvedic medicine, a form of medicine originating from ancient India, predominated the Sri Lankan medical landscape for over 2,000 years and even had a symbiotic relationship with Sinhalese medicine, which also played a significant and influential role in the country's medical framework<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Udayanga|first=Samitha|date=2021-06-30|title=Cultural understanding of ‘spiritual well-being’ and ‘psychological well-being’ among Sinhalese Buddhists in Sri Lanka|url=https://sljss.sljol.info/article/10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990/|journal=Sri Lanka Journal of Social Sciences|volume=44|issue=1|pages=33|doi=10.4038/sljss.v44i1.7990|issn=2478-1169}}</ref>. Despite its historical dominance, Ayurvedic medicine has been challenged against modern evidence-based medical standards<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://philarchive.org/rec/DOMAAT|title=Ayurveda: Ancient Tradition or Pseudoscientific Practice? A Philosophical Inquiry|last=Dominic|first=Shubham K.}}</ref>.
=== Comparative synthesis ===
Taking an overarching review of the role of religion in Sri Lanka, methods to improve mental well-being are practiced by adherents of Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity. These methods are practiced through karma, tawakkul, hope, and humility. Additionally, these practices are implemented in traditionally-oriented mental health care, which has been reported to be preferred over psychiatric care at times. These rituals practiced across these religions indicate a common theme of psychologically integrated aspects of well-being. Interpretation of trauma is a central use in religion, with religious principles, such as karma and ''tawakkul'', serving as psychologically analogous mechanisms during times of distress.
In terms of methodological comparisons to the studies described, qualitative interviews have documented Buddhist practices and principles, like Bodhipuja and the belief in karma, in response to traumatic events, while case studies found religious practices by other religious groups, such as a Muslim patient reading Islamic scripture and observing prayer to reduce emotional distress. Peer-reviewed sources have documented Catholic practices and principles, such as ''Lectio Divina'' and unconditional positive regard, in improving mindfulness and emotional regulation. The paper acknowledges limitations in the evaluation of certain findings, such as in Islam and Hinduism. These shortcomings, however, are a reflection of the existing literature and its deficiencies. Empirical findings indicate mental health practices are complex and are multifaceted in their effects.
Evidently, religion serves a parallel role to psychiatric services in improving mental health. Despite its perceived benefits, the findings surrounding religions' role in mental health suffer from conflicting, and sometimes contradictory, results. Additionally, a disproportionate amount of empirical findings seem to be Buddhist-predominant, while other religions are underrepresented in the research. Regarding research barriers, the methodological approaches implemented to study the practices of religious followers vary, though much of the research was brought from qualitative or case-based studies, impeding generalizability. Another noteworthy issue is that many studies do not utilize standardized, psychiatric measures.
== Future Outlook ==
Despite significant changes to the mental health environment in Sri Lanka, the current legal framework shaping mental health in the country has not been updated since 1956. A Cambridge University Press article detailed many limitations of the Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956, including discrepancies between the legal provisions of involuntary admissions and modern practices, potential exposure to trauma through extra-legal detentions of the mentally ill, and an absence of legal guidelines addressing the restraint of violent patients<ref name=":6" />. Participants from Sri Lanka reported in a comparative legislative questionnaire that they felt the mental health laws were "outdated" and descriptions of clinical roles remained ambiguous<ref name=":16" />. A draft mental health legislation from 2007 includes provisions for human rights, but due to "bureaucratic processes" and a "lack of consensus", the draft has not been officially approved.
These limitations pose challenges to the standardization of mental healthcare admissions and may impact the rights of detained patients. Detained patients may have their human rights violated due to a lack of an up-to-date legal framework, thereby impeding the identification of such violations. Additionally, with the lack of clarity on clinical roles, clinical responsibilities may not be routinely recognized and observed, leading to role confusion and potential legal ramifications<ref name=":16">{{Cite journal|last=Dey|first=Sangeeta|last2=Mellsop|first2=Graham|last3=Diesfeld|first3=Kate|last4=Dharmawardene|first4=Vajira|last5=Mendis|first5=Susitha|last6=Chaudhuri|first6=Sreemanti|last7=Deb|first7=Aniruddha|last8=Huq|first8=Nafisa|last9=Ahmed|first9=Helal Uddin|date=2019-10-24|title=Comparing legislation for involuntary admission and treatment of mental illness in four South Asian countries|url=https://ijmhs.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7|journal=International Journal of Mental Health Systems|volume=13|issue=1|pages=67|doi=10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7|issn=1752-4458|pmc=6813093|pmid=31666805}}</ref>. Lastly, current efforts should increase beyond just addressing poverty-centered matters, but also expand efforts to domestic violence victims and children with disabilities, as shelters and specialized services are limited<ref name=":82">{{Cite journal|last=Augustyniak|first=Nadia|date=2025-06-01|title=Public mental healthcare and economic vulnerability in Sri Lanka|url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S2666560324000926|journal=SSM - Mental Health|volume=7|pages=100387|doi=10.1016/j.ssmmh.2024.100387|issn=2666-5603}}</ref>.
Stagnation in policy development leaves Sri Lanka without a practical, up-to-date, and comprehensive mental health legislation, which could put both clinicians and patients at risk. Future reforms should include clarification on the treatment and detention process of involuntary admissions of patients and a clear delineation of clinical roles and their responsibilities. Without the necessary reforms to advance Sri Lankan mental health legislation, clinicians and vulnerable patients may suffer from a lack of comprehensive oversight.

= '''Chapter 8: Methods, Tools, and AI-Assisted Evaluation''' =
== '''8.1 Purpose''' ==
This chapter describes the methodological foundations of the project, including the role of AI in evaluating theories, how contributors interact with the system, and how assessments are recorded, displayed, and updated.
== '''8.2 Toolchain and Workflow''' ==
AI tools like ChatGPT are used to analyze, compare, and refine theories
Tables and frameworks are generated collaboratively using open formats
Contributors submit input via email or editing suggestions
Ratings and evaluations are dynamically updated based on ongoing analysis
== '''8.3 AI-Based Rating System: Motivation and Procedure''' ==
To support comparative evaluation without personal or institutional bias, this project uses an AI-based rating system. ChatGPT acts as a neutral evaluator, analyzing each theory across clearly defined criteria in '''8.5 Understanding the Star Ratings'''.
This system is designed to be:
Transparent – Each rating is justified through AI’s large-scale reference analysis.
Dynamic – Contributors may submit additional materials to request re-evaluation.
Consistent – All evaluations are performed by the same AI logic, eliminating personal bias.
Contributors may ask ChatGPT to re-read specific articles, datasets, or theoretical arguments. If new insights are found, ratings will be updated and transparently noted.
This approach represents a shift toward evidence-driven, large-scale comparative review, using AI not as a gatekeeper but as a tool to synthesize and validate.
== '''8.4 Open Participation''' ==
This chapter is also where future documentation of the workflow and collaborative mechanisms will be expanded. Users who submit theories are encouraged to:
Describe their framework in terms of assumptions, predictions, and compatibility
Suggest how their model could be tested or falsified
Provide references or original materials for AI evaluation
All analysis is open, and contributors may propose improvements at any time.
== '''8.5 Understanding the Star Ratings''' ==
The AI Evaluation Table below rates theories across seven scientific criteria defined in '''Chapter 1.3'''. Here we provide a full explanation of what each criterion means and how it is applied.
'''8.5.1. Empirical Adequacy'''
Does the theory fit known observations and experimental data? High scores require support from astronomy, cosmology, geology, or lab-based physics. Theories that contradict established measurements or lack empirical grounding score lower. '''This also includes a consideration of the theory’s real-world or technological impact if its principles were applied.'''
'''8.5.2. Internal Consistency'''
Are the theory’s assumptions, mathematics, and logic self-coherent? A consistent theory does not contain contradictions, undefined steps, or ad hoc assumptions. '''Theories that preserve causal coherence—avoiding singularities, action at a distance, or arbitrary fields—are rated higher.''' Importantly, causal coherence applies within the framework of the theory itself. A theory does not need to explain the ultimate origin of existence, but it should not invoke paradoxical notions
'''8.5.3. Predictive Power'''
Does the theory make clear, testable predictions that distinguish it from others? Theories that anticipate new phenomena or retrodict known data gain higher ratings.
'''8.5.4. Cross-Disciplinary Compatibility'''
Is the theory consistent with findings from other scientific fields, such as geology, chemistry, biology, or planetary science? The more compatible it is, the higher the score.
'''8.5.5. Conceptual Clarity and Simplicity'''
Is the theory logically simple and intuitively understandable, without unnecessary complexity? This criterion rewards elegance, not oversimplification.
'''8.5.6. Heuristic Value'''
Does the theory stimulate new questions, research directions, or rethinking of existing problems? A high score reflects creative scientific potential.
'''8.5.7. Historical and Philosophical Insight'''
Does the theory connect meaningfully to the historical development of science or reflect philosophical depth? Theories grounded in tradition or conceptual evolution are valued here.
'''8.5.8. Mathematical Rigor'''
Does the theory provide clear mathematical formulations, derivations, and quantitative predictions? Theories are valued for their use of equations to express core principles, ensure internal consistency, and generate testable results.
Each theory receives a rating from ★☆☆☆☆ to ★★★★★ per criterion. The total score (max 40) gives a general measure of its scientific coherence and reach. The reasoning behind the scores is available under each theory (subsection 8.8) or can be requested in more detail.
=== '''8.6 – Comparative Table of AI Ratings (Updated with Criterion 8: Mathematical Rigor)''' ===
''Note: In July 2025, an eighth evaluation criterion was added: '''Mathematical Rigor'''. The total score is now out of 40 stars instead of 35. ''
''All ratings are expressed in whole stars (★), without fractional values, to ensure clarity in display and consistency with the visual format of this table.''
''Theories are listed in the same order as in Section 8.8.''

== '''8.7 Requesting Detailed Justification''' ==
“Somebody” interested in the full motivation for a theory’s score—criterion by criterion—can obtain this by:
1. Visiting the '''discussion page''' of this Wikiversity chapter.
2. Mentioning the theory by name and explicitly asking for the detailed breakdown.
3. Receiving an AI-generated or authored comment elaborating why each star rating was assigned.
These ratings are transparent and intended to support critical evaluation and ongoing refinement of both established and alternative cosmological theories. Constructive feedback, new data, or arguments may lead to adjustments in the scores, provided clear reasoning is presented.
If a contributor or author does not agree with the evaluation or prefers not to have their theory represented under this framework, they may request that all related content and ratings for that theory be removed. This ensures that participation remains voluntary and respectful of intellectual ownership.
'''Mainstream theories are subject to the same critical standard.'''
If someone presents a reasoned objection to the current star ratings of a widely accepted theory (e.g. General Relativity, Big Bang), their explanation will be reviewed. If the argument is well-founded, ChatGPT may generate a revised evaluation. Both the original and alternative viewpoints can be documented transparently if needed.
If you want to submit a '''Rating Rebuttal''', please use the template provided on the "Discuss" button here above.
== '''8.8 Detailed Evaluations of Theories''' ==
This section will be expanded progressively as new theories are added. Each evaluation is generated in collaboration with ChatGPT, based on a standardized set of eight criteria defined in Chapter 1. This approach allows for clear, consistent, and rapid assessment of both mainstream and non-mainstream cosmological theories within minutes.

= '''Chapter 8: Methods, Tools, and AI-Assisted Evaluation''' =
== '''8.1 Purpose''' ==
This chapter describes the methodological foundations of the project, including the role of AI in evaluating theories, how contributors interact with the system, and how assessments are recorded, displayed, and updated.
== '''8.2 Toolchain and Workflow''' ==
AI tools like ChatGPT are used to analyze, compare, and refine theories
Tables and frameworks are generated collaboratively using open formats
Contributors submit input via email or editing suggestions
Ratings and evaluations are dynamically updated based on ongoing analysis
== '''8.3 AI-Based Rating System: Motivation and Procedure''' ==
To support comparative evaluation without personal or institutional bias, this project uses an AI-based rating system. ChatGPT acts as a neutral evaluator, analyzing each theory across clearly defined criteria in '''8.5 Understanding the Star Ratings'''.
This system is designed to be:
Transparent – Each rating is justified through AI’s large-scale reference analysis.
Dynamic – Contributors may submit additional materials to request re-evaluation.
Consistent – All evaluations are performed by the same AI logic, eliminating personal bias.
Contributors may ask ChatGPT to re-read specific articles, datasets, or theoretical arguments. If new insights are found, ratings will be updated and transparently noted.
This approach represents a shift toward evidence-driven, large-scale comparative review, using AI not as a gatekeeper but as a tool to synthesize and validate.
== '''8.4 Open Participation''' ==
This chapter is also where future documentation of the workflow and collaborative mechanisms will be expanded. Users who submit theories are encouraged to:
Describe their framework in terms of assumptions, predictions, and compatibility
Suggest how their model could be tested or falsified
Provide references or original materials for AI evaluation
All analysis is open, and contributors may propose improvements at any time.
== '''8.5 Understanding the Star Ratings''' ==
The AI Evaluation Table below rates theories across seven scientific criteria defined in '''Chapter 1.3'''. Here we provide a full explanation of what each criterion means and how it is applied.
'''8.5.1. Empirical Adequacy'''
Does the theory fit known observations and experimental data? High scores require support from astronomy, cosmology, geology, or lab-based physics. Theories that contradict established measurements or lack empirical grounding score lower. '''This also includes a consideration of the theory’s real-world or technological impact if its principles were applied.'''
'''8.5.2. Internal Consistency'''
Are the theory’s assumptions, mathematics, and logic self-coherent? A consistent theory does not contain contradictions, undefined steps, or ad hoc assumptions. '''Theories that preserve causal coherence—avoiding singularities, action at a distance, or arbitrary fields—are rated higher.''' Importantly, causal coherence applies within the framework of the theory itself. A theory does not need to explain the ultimate origin of existence, but it should not invoke paradoxical notions
'''8.5.3. Predictive Power'''
Does the theory make clear, testable predictions that distinguish it from others? Theories that anticipate new phenomena or retrodict known data gain higher ratings.
'''8.5.4. Cross-Disciplinary Compatibility'''
Is the theory consistent with findings from other scientific fields, such as geology, chemistry, biology, or planetary science? The more compatible it is, the higher the score.
'''8.5.5. Conceptual Clarity and Simplicity'''
Is the theory logically simple and intuitively understandable, without unnecessary complexity? This criterion rewards elegance, not oversimplification.
'''8.5.6. Heuristic Value'''
Does the theory stimulate new questions, research directions, or rethinking of existing problems? A high score reflects creative scientific potential.
'''8.5.7. Historical and Philosophical Insight'''
Does the theory connect meaningfully to the historical development of science or reflect philosophical depth? Theories grounded in tradition or conceptual evolution are valued here.
'''8.5.8. Mathematical Rigor'''
Does the theory provide clear mathematical formulations, derivations, and quantitative predictions? Theories are valued for their use of equations to express core principles, ensure internal consistency, and generate testable results.
Each theory receives a rating from ★☆☆☆☆ to ★★★★★ per criterion. The total score (max 40) gives a general measure of its scientific coherence and reach. The reasoning behind the scores is available under each theory (subsection 8.8) or can be requested in more detail.
=== '''8.6 – Comparative Table of AI Ratings (Updated with Criterion 8: Mathematical Rigor)''' ===
''Note: In July 2025, an eighth evaluation criterion was added: '''Mathematical Rigor'''. The total score is now out of 40 stars instead of 35. ''
''All ratings are expressed in whole stars (★), without fractional values, to ensure clarity in display and consistency with the visual format of this table.''
''Theories are listed in the same order as in Section 8.8.''

== '''8.7 Requesting Detailed Justification''' ==
“Somebody” interested in the full motivation for a theory’s score—criterion by criterion—can obtain this by:
1. Visiting the '''discussion page''' of this Wikiversity chapter.
2. Mentioning the theory by name and explicitly asking for the detailed breakdown.
3. Receiving an AI-generated or authored comment elaborating why each star rating was assigned.
These ratings are transparent and intended to support critical evaluation and ongoing refinement of both established and alternative cosmological theories. Constructive feedback, new data, or arguments may lead to adjustments in the scores, provided clear reasoning is presented.
If a contributor or author does not agree with the evaluation or prefers not to have their theory represented under this framework, they may request that all related content and ratings for that theory be removed. This ensures that participation remains voluntary and respectful of intellectual ownership.
'''Mainstream theories are subject to the same critical standard.'''
If someone presents a reasoned objection to the current star ratings of a widely accepted theory (e.g. General Relativity, Big Bang), their explanation will be reviewed. If the argument is well-founded, ChatGPT may generate a revised evaluation. Both the original and alternative viewpoints can be documented transparently if needed.
If you want to submit a '''Rating Rebuttal''', please use the template provided on the "Discuss" button here above.
== '''8.8 Detailed Evaluations of Theories''' ==
This section will be expanded progressively as new theories are added. Each evaluation is generated in collaboration with ChatGPT, based on a standardized set of eight criteria defined in Chapter 1. This approach allows for clear, consistent, and rapid assessment of both mainstream and non-mainstream cosmological theories within minutes.

== Introduction ==
Just sustainability transition refers to the process of shifting towards sustainable practices in a way that is equitable and inclusive. It includes dimensions of procedural, recognition, distributive and reparative justice and the concept is related to climate justice, environmental justice and energy justice<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2|title=What is the “Just Transition”?|last=Heffron|first=Raphael J.|date=2021|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-030-89460-3|editor-last=Heffron|editor-first=Raphael J.|location=Cham|pages=9–19|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=McCauley|first=Darren|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|date=2018-08-01|title=Just transition: Integrating climate, energy and environmental justice|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421518302301|journal=Energy Policy|volume=119|pages=1–7|doi=10.1016/j.enpol.2018.04.014|issn=0301-4215}}</ref>. The study of sustainability transitions in social sciences requires dynamic and adaptive research synthesis methods.

Given the rapidly evolving nature of sustainability-related research, static literature reviews often become outdated, limiting their usefulness for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners. A living literature review – continuously updated with new findings – ensures that emerging insights, case studies, and theoretical developments are integrated cumulatively into the knowledge base. Developing such review will answer the call for more evidence-based practices in management sciences<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kepes|first=Sven|last2=Bennett|first2=Andrew A.|last3=McDaniel|first3=Michael A.|date=2014-09|title=Evidence-Based Management and the Trustworthiness of Our Cumulative Scientific Knowledge: Implications for Teaching, Research, and Practice|url=https://journals.aom.org/doi/10.5465/amle.2013.0193|journal=Academy of Management Learning & Education|volume=13|issue=3|pages=446–466|doi=10.5465/amle.2013.0193|issn=1537-260X}}</ref><ref>Pfeffer, J., & Sutton, R. I. (2006). Evidence-Based Management. Harvard Business Review, 13. </ref>. Our project assesses the potential of Wikidata to build living review workflow on sustainability transition. We address three issues encountered by scientists: information overload, knowledge synthesis and results dissemination.
==== The problem of academic information overload ====
Global scientific output doubles every nine years<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blogs.nature.com/news/2014/05/global-scientific-output-doubles-every-nine-years.html|title=Global scientific output doubles every nine years : News blog|website=blogs.nature.com|language=en-US|access-date=2026-06-23}}</ref>, pushed by the “publish or perish” model incentivizing researchers to increase the quantity of research outputs. Researchers are subject to information overload as the number of publications to read is beyond what a human brain can handle, they are expected to produce high-quality research under an increasing time pressure. This intensification of academic work is being denounced as detrimental to the deep cognitive process needed to actually produce interesting knowledge<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hartman|first=Yvonne|last2=Darab|first2=Sandy|date=2012-01-01|title=A Call for Slow Scholarship: A Case Study on the Intensification of Academic Life and Its Implications for Pedagogy|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|journal=Review of Education, Pedagogy, and Cultural Studies|volume=34|issue=1-2|pages=49–60|doi=10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|issn=1071-4413}}</ref>. “Wikifying science” may in this context contribute to facilitating researcher’s work while preserving scientific quality. That is why in this project, we aim to build a searchable academic publication database with enriched meta-data that will allow scholars to navigate the existing publications corpus related to just sustainability transition more easily.
==== The problem of knowledge synthesis ====
The volume of academic production is rendering knowledge synthesis difficult.

While such reviews method exist for quantitative research producing standardized results, they are not adapted to synthetize social science studies on sustainability transitions that involve diverse methodologies and various disciplinary perspectives. The goal of the project is to propose a demonstration of a living review method for social science findings on just sustainability transition, relying on the collaborative model and tools of Wikimedia projects notably Wikidata, Wikiversity and Wikipedia.
==== The problem of scientific results dissemination ====
There is urgent need to disseminate knowledge on impactful topics like sustainability transition while proprietary publication models, disinformation and censorship (e.g. US) is threatening access to free and reliable knowledge. In parallel, social scientists struggle to make their work impactful<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haley|first=Usha C.

Our project proposes to improve expert contribution by making wikimedia projects (notably wikidata) useful tools that can facilitate research work, in addition to a key knowledge dissemination platform that is not country or institution-dependent. We propose to approach Wikimedia projects as a powerful (and free) knowledge management infrastructure that researchers could use. The Wikimedia ecosystem offers solutions that have strong potential to put open science principles into practices, including [[wikipedia:FAIR_data|FAIR]] principles and [[wikipedia:Linked_data#Linked_open_data|linked open data]].

== Building a corpus and enriching bibliographic metadata ==
=== Database search ===
We conducted preliminary searches in various databases including Web of science, Go Triple, Dimensions and OpenAlex. Web of Science was the database offering the most relevant restults and included the possibility to filter results to display only litterature reviews. Articles metadata were exported (in .ris format) and then imported into the reference manager software Zotero.

=== Article screening ===
Articles abstract were then screened and we selected only articles which were litterature reviews focusing on concepts related to procedural justice as their main topics. We excluded article which were
* Not related to sustainability transition (e.g. sustainable shift in..., hard science papers...)
* Not literature reviews (e.g. review of policies, initiatives, cases, review notes, book review...)
* Not related to procedural justice but to participation into markets, participation in eco-friendly behaviors or included justice consideration only in “future research” suggestions
* Discussing participatory research methodologies (e.g. participatory modelling) without approaching it as an issue of justice, power or democracy
* Discussing procedural justice concepts as key variables or key results without it being the main focus of the paper
The files resulting from this step are available at : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973
=== Importing selected articles into Wikidata ===
To import the selected articles meta-data into Wikidata, we first ran [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 a script] to check if any article was already present in the database. Next we used [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/90acdc3eac4109830db1b3ab855fcb24 another script] that checks the ISSN of the publication in Wikidata and add P-Q-pairs in the extra field of Zotero. Then we exported the articles data using the "export to Wikidata QuickStatements" function of Zotero and use the QuickStatements tool to add them to Wikidata.
Next we used the [[wikidata:Wikidata:Zotero/Cita|Cita]] (V1.0.0-beta.17) Zotero add-on to add articles QID in Zotero. At this point we identified that duplicates had been created in Wikidata (possibly because the initial [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 script] did not work that well because of the recent [[wikidata:Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/WDQS_graph_split|Graph Split]] on Wikidata). We merged duplicates on wikidata using the [[wikidata:Help:Merge|"Merge" gadget]] on Wikidata. We checked manually for duplicated statments in those items.
=== Article classification through meta-data enrichement ===<!-- Add : What is meta-data enrichement -->
Existing review try to classify existing articles according to various criteria such as industry focus, academic discipline, geography of research sites (countries), stakeholder focus (community, consumer, worker...), type of study (case study, theory development) or methodology (quantitative, qualitative, mixt).<ref name=":5" /> We selected the most relevant properties in Wikidata to reflect these classifications : {{Wikidata entity link|P921}} to describe what the article is about, {{Wikidata entity link|P8363}} to describe its main methodology/research design and {{Wikidata entity link|P6153}} to describe its geographical focus.

==== Conceptual modelling ====
We first reflected on what kind of wikidata properties could be used to represent concepts and theories in wikidata. Capturing the content of a concept is not straightforward and there are various approaches coming from psychology and philosophy on the matter<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Origin of Concepts|last=Carey|first=Susan|date=2011|publisher=Oxford University Press USA - OSO|isbn=978-0-19-536763-8|series=Oxford Series in Cognitive Development Ser|location=Cary}}</ref> we summarize these approaches below and examine which wikidata properties exist to represent them.
* Definition: the content of a concept can be formed by its decomposition into other concepts. Many Wikidata properties can be relevant to model definitions, for example: {{Wikidata entity link|P1269}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P361}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P527}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1552}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P6477}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}}...
* Categorization: the content of a concept is formed by its illustration by an exemplar (a [[wikipedia:Prototype_theory|prototype]]) that best represent the concept. Apart from the inclusion of images to illustrate an item, Wikidata structure do not highlight exemplars. However, properties signifying relations of categorizations are among the most used with {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} and {{Wikidata entity link|P279}}.
* Theory: the content of a concept is formed by its role in providing explanation of the world. Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships: {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1479}}.
* Essence: the content of a concept is "something" deep explaning the entity's existence and its properties. We can use concepts before knowing what they mean, and this is what allows us to revise our knowledge about it. The idea of essence is well represented by the QID of Wikidata entities: it is independent of language and definitions and we can create it before really knowing what all its properties will be.
* Origin: the content of the concept is determined causally by social and historial factors (e.g. someone inventing the concept and introducing its use in a language community). This can be represented by the property {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}}.
==== Categorization and conceptualisation practices in management sciences ====
In management sciences « systematic categorizing is the best and perhaps only method for clearing up semantic confusion, management scholars never take the classical approaches to categorizing that facilitated tremendous progress in the physical sciences, and seldomly build on extant categorial schemes. »<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Pierce|first=Jason R.|date=2025-01|title=Categorizing Concepts and Phenomena in Management Research: A Four-Phase Integrative Review and Recommendations|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/annals.2023.0052|journal=Academy of Management Annals|language=en|volume=19|issue=1|page=28|pages=9–37|doi=10.5465/annals.2023.0052|issn=1941-6520}}</ref>.
Some scholars discussed how conceptualization should be done<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Podsakoff|first=Philip M.|last2=MacKenzie|first2=Scott B.|last3=Podsakoff|first3=Nathan P.|date=2016-04|title=Recommendations for Creating Better Concept Definitions in the Organizational, Behavioral, and Social Sciences|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428115624965|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=19|issue=2|pages=159–203|doi=10.1177/1094428115624965|issn=1094-4281}}</ref>,<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Makowski|first=Piotr Tomasz|date=2021-10|title=Optimizing Concepts: Conceptual Engineering in the Field of Management—The Case of Routines Research|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/amr.2019.0252|journal=Academy of Management Review|language=en|volume=46|issue=4|pages=702–724|doi=10.5465/amr.2019.0252|issn=0363-7425}}</ref>.
==== Thematic networks ====
[[File:Thematic network example.jpg|thumb|547x547px|Structure of a thematic network (Source: Attride-Stirling 2001)]]
A thematic network is “simply a way of organizing a thematic analysis of qualitative data”<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Attride-Stirling|first=Jennifer|date=2001-12|title=Thematic networks: an analytic tool for qualitative research|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/146879410100100307|journal=Qualitative Research|language=en|volume=1|issue=3|pages=385–405|doi=10.1177/146879410100100307|issn=1468-7941}}</ref>. It is compatible with classical coding strategies such as [[grounded theory]]<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Corbin|first=Juliet|last2=Strauss|first2=Anselm|date=1990-12-01|title=Grounded Theory Research: Procedures, Canons and Evaluative Criteria|url=https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602/html|journal=Zeitschrift für Soziologie|language=en|volume=19|issue=6|pages=418–427|doi=10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602|issn=2366-0325}}</ref>. Thematic networks can be used to visualise the data structure after identifying themes and help structure and interpret the data<ref name=":7" />. The principle is to assemble basic themes into more general themes.
Qualitative researchers usually use {{Wikidata entity link|Q4550939}} and qualitative coding (e.g. grounded theory) to identify themes and sub-themes.
However, the nature of the relationship between these various themes and sub-themes is often not specified.

==== Causal networks ====
The use of diagrams to represent causal relationship exist in various research practices. In statistics, researchers sometime present models with boxes and arrows representing correlations and/or causations<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://mirror.vcu.edu/pub/mx/doc/mxmang10.pdf|title=Statistical Modeling|last=Neale|first=Michael C.|last2=Boker|first2=Steven M.|last3=Xie|first3=Gary|last4=Maes|first4=Hermine H.|publisher=Richmond, VA: Department of Psychiatry|year=1999|location=Virginia Commonwealth University}}</ref>. In qualitative research, building grounded theory models is about "[accounting] for not only all the major emergent concepts, themes, and dimensions, but also for their dynamic interrelationships. Speaking in classic boxes-and-arrows terms, this process amounts to assembling the constellation of boxes with a special focus on the arrows."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gioia|first=Dennis A.|last2=Corley|first2=Kevin G.|last3=Hamilton|first3=Aimee L.|date=2013-01|title=Seeking Qualitative Rigor in Inductive Research: Notes on the Gioia Methodology|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428112452151|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=16|issue=1|pages=15–31|doi=10.1177/1094428112452151|issn=1094-4281}}</ref> Researchers relying on system theory also use causal loop diagram where boxes represent variables and arrows represent causal influence (positive or negative), causal relationship can "feedback" (two variables can influence each other)<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4|title=Causal Loop Diagrams|last=Barbrook-Johnson|first=Pete|last2=Penn|first2=Alexandra S.|date=2022|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-031-01833-6|location=Cham|pages=47–59|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4}}</ref>.
Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships:
* {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1479}} : it is difficult to identify single causes for social phenomenons, many factors having an effect on the subject item will likely be contributing factors
== Testing concept modelling on {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} ==
We started by experimenting the modelling of concept by focusing on the concept of {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. We selected a subset of papers which had energy democracy as main topic :
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901202}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901182}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q136447761}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q129652515}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q114306483}}
We read each paper and used them as source to enter statements in the item {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. For example, "Energy democracy is both an ideal and a process"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Droubi|first=Sufyan|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|last3=McCauley|first3=Darren|date=2022-04-01|title=A critical review of energy democracy: A failure to deliver justice?|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137901182|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=86|pages=4|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2021.102444}}</ref>, we thus entered the wikidata statement {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} is an {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q840396}}, using the paper as source. The result of this first step is visible in the archival version of the item (22 May 2026) here https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q14944319&oldid=2495982191.
Ontology challenges:
*{{Wikidata entity link|P31}}: concepts may have a dual nature because they designate at the same time an idea and the entity that this idea represent. Energy democracy is a concept, an ideal, a process and an outcome.
*'''Process versus outcome :''' For material processes, the distinction between process and outcome is rather simple. For example, in Wikidata, {{Wikidata entity link|Q11629}} (practice of applying paint) is different from {{Wikidata entity link|Q3305213}} (visual artwork), and this distinction is based on the criterion "{{Wikidata entity link|Q127270577}}". However, this distinction is less straightforward for social processes that do not have an end. Such processes are ongoing and outcomes cannot be separated as clearly.
* '''Ideal versus reality :''' Concepts do not have goals in themselves, but the reality they represent can have goals. To distinguish goals from the process to reach it, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}} to describe ideals and {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}} to describe processes.
* '''Phenomenon versus theory :''' Wikidata current items are not really suited to model "meta-research" statements. For example, modelling the idea tha the literature on energy democracy is fragmented would require creating an item representing the energy democracy literature, not just energy democracy in general. Similarly, it can be difficult to model the chronological evolution of the definition of an idea (although it could be technically possible). It is hard to represent in Wikidata affirmations related to missing knowlege, propositions of untested hypothesis, critique of existing research or research agenda recommandations
* '''Origin of discourses versus origin of practices :''' To distinguish the causes of the concepts/discourses and the causes of the phenomenon itself, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}} to indicate the origins of the concept or the movements promoting it.
Some of the statements we added may seem contradictory. However, Wikidata supports "because statements essentially point to referenceable sources of information and different sources may provide contradicting information, it's possible to represent a plurality of perspectives on Wikidata"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Statements#Plurality_and_consensus|title=Help:Statements - Wikidata|website=www.wikidata.org|language=en|access-date=2026-06-08}}</ref>. The {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} concept could be split into more precise concepts to distinguish the social movement advocating for it, the political concept theorizing it and the concrete initiatives implementing it. However, the current sources do not make this distinction for now.
Other challenges
* Wikidata does not seem to be the best tool to model quantitative statements, for example, the paper {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}} states that "9.8% of the final energy consumed in developing countries comes from modern renewable energy sources". Including energy data in Wikidata require using or creating specific properties (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|P6826}})
* When concepts are not precisely defined, statements cannot be modelled correctly. For example, in the sentence "management of social affairs by voluntary and self-governing associations is deemed to ensure that both citizen choice and public welfare are best served"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Veelen|first=Bregje van|last2=Horst|first2=Dan van der|date=2018-12-01|title=What is energy democracy? Connecting social science energy research and political theory|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129652515|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|language=English|volume=46|pages=19–28|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2018.06.010}}</ref>, "choice" could refer to {{Wikidata entity link|Q111986453}}, {{Wikidata entity link|Q1331926}}, or {{Wikidata entity link|Q12888920}} as "choice" can refer to the availability of different options, or the decision process to chose among them.
Advantages :
* Link toward unique identifiers for concepts, but also laws (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|Q139764294}})
== Interactions with the Wikidata community ==
* Some Wikidata contributors added labels for {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} in other languages such as Armenian or Slovenian.
== Data visualisation ==
=== Filter statements ===
* Visualize only statements using a specitic source. Example : https://w.wiki/PFqH
* Visualize only items which are part to the present project (require that all items of the project include the statement {{Wikidata entity link|P6104}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q134545539}}).

== Introduction ==
Just sustainability transition refers to the process of shifting towards sustainable practices in a way that is equitable and inclusive. It includes dimensions of procedural, recognition, distributive and reparative justice and the concept is related to climate justice, environmental justice and energy justice<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2|title=What is the “Just Transition”?|last=Heffron|first=Raphael J.|date=2021|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-030-89460-3|editor-last=Heffron|editor-first=Raphael J.|location=Cham|pages=9–19|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=McCauley|first=Darren|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|date=2018-08-01|title=Just transition: Integrating climate, energy and environmental justice|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421518302301|journal=Energy Policy|volume=119|pages=1–7|doi=10.1016/j.enpol.2018.04.014|issn=0301-4215}}</ref>. The study of sustainability transitions in social sciences requires dynamic and adaptive research synthesis methods. Sustainability transitions involve complex, multi-level processes influenced by technological, economic, social, and policy factors<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2020-03-01|title=Micro-foundations of the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions: Developing a multi-dimensional model of agency through crossovers between social constructivism, evolutionary economics and neo-institutional theory|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040162518316111|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=152|pages=119894|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2019.119894|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|date=2023-08-01|title=A socio-technical transition perspective on positive tipping points in climate change mitigation: Analysing seven interacting feedback loops in offshore wind and electric vehicles acceleration|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040162523003244|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=193|pages=122639|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2023.122639|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sovacool|first=Benjamin K.|last2=Geels|first2=Frank W.|last3=Andersen|first3=Allan Dahl|last4=Grubb|first4=Michael|last5=Jordan|first5=Andrew J.|last6=Kern|first6=Florian|last7=Kivimaa|first7=Paula|last8=Lockwood|first8=Matthew|last9=Markard|first9=Jochen|date=2025-03-01|title=The acceleration of low-carbon transitions: Insights, concepts, challenges, and new directions for research|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214629625000295|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=121|pages=103948|doi=10.1016/j.erss.2025.103948|issn=2214-6296}}</ref>. Given the rapidly evolving nature of sustainability-related research, static literature reviews often become outdated, limiting their usefulness for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners. A living literature review – continuously updated with new findings – ensures that emerging insights, case studies, and theoretical developments are integrated cumulatively into the knowledge base. Developing such review will answer the call for more evidence-based practices in management sciences<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kepes|first=Sven|last2=Bennett|first2=Andrew A.|last3=McDaniel|first3=Michael A.|date=2014-09|title=Evidence-Based Management and the Trustworthiness of Our Cumulative Scientific Knowledge: Implications for Teaching, Research, and Practice|url=https://journals.aom.org/doi/10.5465/amle.2013.0193|journal=Academy of Management Learning & Education|volume=13|issue=3|pages=446–466|doi=10.5465/amle.2013.0193|issn=1537-260X}}</ref><ref>Pfeffer, J., & Sutton, R. I. (2006). Evidence-Based Management. Harvard Business Review, 13. </ref>. Our project assesses the potential of Wikidata to build living review workflow on sustainability transition. We address three issues encountered by scientists: information overload, knowledge synthesis and results dissemination.
==== The problem of academic information overload ====
Global scientific output doubles every nine years<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blogs.nature.com/news/2014/05/global-scientific-output-doubles-every-nine-years.html|title=Global scientific output doubles every nine years : News blog|website=blogs.nature.com|language=en-US|access-date=2026-06-23}}</ref>, pushed by the “publish or perish” model incentivizing researchers to increase the quantity of research outputs. Researchers are subject to information overload as the number of publications to read is beyond what a human brain can handle, they are expected to produce high-quality research under an increasing time pressure. This intensification of academic work is being denounced as detrimental to the deep cognitive process needed to actually produce interesting knowledge<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hartman|first=Yvonne|last2=Darab|first2=Sandy|date=2012-01-01|title=A Call for Slow Scholarship: A Case Study on the Intensification of Academic Life and Its Implications for Pedagogy|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|journal=Review of Education, Pedagogy, and Cultural Studies|volume=34|issue=1-2|pages=49–60|doi=10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|issn=1071-4413}}</ref>. “Wikifying science” may in this context contribute to facilitating researcher’s work while preserving scientific quality. That is why in this project, we aim to build a searchable academic publication database with enriched meta-data that will allow scholars to navigate the existing publications corpus related to just sustainability transition more easily.
==== The problem of knowledge synthesis ====
The volume of academic production is rendering knowledge synthesis difficult.

While such reviews method exist for quantitative research producing standardized results, they are not adapted to synthetize social science studies on sustainability transitions that involve diverse methodologies and various disciplinary perspectives. The goal of the project is to propose a demonstration of a living review method for social science findings on just sustainability transition, relying on the collaborative model and tools of Wikimedia projects notably Wikidata, Wikiversity and Wikipedia.
==== The problem of scientific results dissemination ====
There is urgent need to disseminate knowledge on impactful topics like sustainability transition while proprietary publication models, disinformation and censorship (e.g. US) is threatening access to free and reliable knowledge. In parallel, social scientists struggle to make their work impactful<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haley|first=Usha C.

Our project proposes to improve expert contribution by making wikimedia projects (notably wikidata) useful tools that can facilitate research work, in addition to a key knowledge dissemination platform that is not country or institution-dependent. We propose to approach Wikimedia projects as a powerful (and free) knowledge management infrastructure that researchers could use. The Wikimedia ecosystem offers solutions that have strong potential to put open science principles into practices, including [[wikipedia:FAIR_data|FAIR]] principles and [[wikipedia:Linked_data#Linked_open_data|linked open data]].

== Methodology ==
Our study rely on a meta-review, that is a review of existing literature reviews. Data presented in literature reviews are usually presented as tables or diagrams, and sometimes provided as supplementary materials in publications. However, these data are not made interoperable and are not used to update prior literature reviews. Our goal will be to synthesize results of previous literature reviews by making their findings compatible with linked open data and open science standards using Wikidata, Wikiversity, Wikipedia and other open-science infrastructures. We collected and enriched bibliographic data and extracted research result data to build a knowledge graph, we then experimented relevant visualization of this graph and are writing our report on this Wikiversity page, including links to our knowledge graph, experimenting a scientific writing compatible with the linked open data ideal.

== Building a corpus and enriching bibliographic metadata ==
=== Database search ===
We conducted preliminary searches in various databases including Web of science, Go Triple, Dimensions and OpenAlex. Web of Science was the database offering the most relevant restults and included the possibility to filter results to display only litterature reviews. Articles metadata were exported (in .ris format) and then imported into the reference manager software Zotero.

=== Article screening ===
Articles abstract were then screened and we selected only articles which were litterature reviews focusing on concepts related to procedural justice as their main topics. We excluded article which were
* Not related to sustainability transition (e.g. sustainable shift in..., hard science papers...)
* Not literature reviews (e.g. review of policies, initiatives, cases, review notes, book review...)
* Not related to procedural justice but to participation into markets, participation in eco-friendly behaviors or included justice consideration only in “future research” suggestions
* Discussing participatory research methodologies (e.g. participatory modelling) without approaching it as an issue of justice, power or democracy
* Discussing procedural justice concepts as key variables or key results without it being the main focus of the paper
The files resulting from this step are available at : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973
=== Importing selected articles into Wikidata ===
To import the selected articles meta-data into Wikidata, we first ran [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 a script] to check if any article was already present in the database. Next we used [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/90acdc3eac4109830db1b3ab855fcb24 another script] that checks the ISSN of the publication in Wikidata and add P-Q-pairs in the extra field of Zotero. Then we exported the articles data using the "export to Wikidata QuickStatements" function of Zotero and use the QuickStatements tool to add them to Wikidata.
Next we used the [[wikidata:Wikidata:Zotero/Cita|Cita]] (V1.0.0-beta.17) Zotero add-on to add articles QID in Zotero. At this point we identified that duplicates had been created in Wikidata (possibly because the initial [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 script] did not work that well because of the recent [[wikidata:Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/WDQS_graph_split|Graph Split]] on Wikidata). We merged duplicates on wikidata using the [[wikidata:Help:Merge|"Merge" gadget]] on Wikidata. We checked manually for duplicated statments in those items.
=== Article classification through meta-data enrichement ===<!-- Add : What is meta-data enrichement -->
Existing review try to classify existing articles according to various criteria such as industry focus, academic discipline, geography of research sites (countries), stakeholder focus (community, consumer, worker...), type of study (case study, theory development) or methodology (quantitative, qualitative, mixt).<ref name=":5" /> We selected the most relevant properties in Wikidata to reflect these classifications : {{Wikidata entity link|P921}} to describe what the article is about, {{Wikidata entity link|P8363}} to describe its main methodology/research design and {{Wikidata entity link|P6153}} to describe its geographical focus.

==== Conceptual modelling ====
We first reflected on what kind of wikidata properties could be used to represent concepts and theories in wikidata. Capturing the content of a concept is not straightforward and there are various approaches coming from psychology and philosophy on the matter<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Origin of Concepts|last=Carey|first=Susan|date=2011|publisher=Oxford University Press USA - OSO|isbn=978-0-19-536763-8|series=Oxford Series in Cognitive Development Ser|location=Cary}}</ref> we summarize these approaches below and examine which wikidata properties exist to represent them.
* Definition: the content of a concept can be formed by its decomposition into other concepts. Many Wikidata properties can be relevant to model definitions, for example: {{Wikidata entity link|P1269}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P361}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P527}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1552}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P6477}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}}...
* Categorization: the content of a concept is formed by its illustration by an exemplar (a [[wikipedia:Prototype_theory|prototype]]) that best represent the concept. Apart from the inclusion of images to illustrate an item, Wikidata structure do not highlight exemplars. However, properties signifying relations of categorizations are among the most used with {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} and {{Wikidata entity link|P279}}.
* Theory: the content of a concept is formed by its role in providing explanation of the world. Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships: {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1479}}.
* Essence: the content of a concept is "something" deep explaning the entity's existence and its properties. We can use concepts before knowing what they mean, and this is what allows us to revise our knowledge about it. The idea of essence is well represented by the QID of Wikidata entities: it is independent of language and definitions and we can create it before really knowing what all its properties will be.
* Origin: the content of the concept is determined causally by social and historial factors (e.g. someone inventing the concept and introducing its use in a language community). This can be represented by the property {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}}.

In management sciences « systematic categorizing is the best and perhaps only method for clearing up semantic confusion, management scholars never take the classical approaches to categorizing that facilitated tremendous progress in the physical sciences, and seldomly build on extant categorial schemes. »<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Pierce|first=Jason R.|date=2025-01|title=Categorizing Concepts and Phenomena in Management Research: A Four-Phase Integrative Review and Recommendations|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/annals.2023.0052|journal=Academy of Management Annals|language=en|volume=19|issue=1|page=28|pages=9–37|doi=10.5465/annals.2023.0052|issn=1941-6520}}</ref>.
Some scholars discussed how conceptualization should be done<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Podsakoff|first=Philip M.|last2=MacKenzie|first2=Scott B.|last3=Podsakoff|first3=Nathan P.|date=2016-04|title=Recommendations for Creating Better Concept Definitions in the Organizational, Behavioral, and Social Sciences|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428115624965|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=19|issue=2|pages=159–203|doi=10.1177/1094428115624965|issn=1094-4281}}</ref>,<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Makowski|first=Piotr Tomasz|date=2021-10|title=Optimizing Concepts: Conceptual Engineering in the Field of Management—The Case of Routines Research|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/amr.2019.0252|journal=Academy of Management Review|language=en|volume=46|issue=4|pages=702–724|doi=10.5465/amr.2019.0252|issn=0363-7425}}</ref>.
==== Thematic networks ====
[[File:Thematic network example.jpg|thumb|547x547px|Structure of a thematic network (Source: Attride-Stirling 2001)]]
A thematic network is “simply a way of organizing a thematic analysis of qualitative data”<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Attride-Stirling|first=Jennifer|date=2001-12|title=Thematic networks: an analytic tool for qualitative research|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/146879410100100307|journal=Qualitative Research|language=en|volume=1|issue=3|pages=385–405|doi=10.1177/146879410100100307|issn=1468-7941}}</ref>. It is compatible with classical coding strategies such as [[grounded theory]]<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Corbin|first=Juliet|last2=Strauss|first2=Anselm|date=1990-12-01|title=Grounded Theory Research: Procedures, Canons and Evaluative Criteria|url=https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602/html|journal=Zeitschrift für Soziologie|language=en|volume=19|issue=6|pages=418–427|doi=10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602|issn=2366-0325}}</ref>. Thematic networks can be used to visualise the data structure after identifying themes and help structure and interpret the data<ref name=":7" />. The principle is to assemble basic themes into more general themes.
Qualitative researchers usually use {{Wikidata entity link|Q4550939}} and qualitative coding (e.g. grounded theory) to identify themes and sub-themes.
However, the nature of the relationship between these various themes and sub-themes is often not specified.

==== Causal networks ====
The use of diagrams to represent causal relationship exist in various research practices. In statistics, researchers sometime present models with boxes and arrows representing correlations and/or causations<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://mirror.vcu.edu/pub/mx/doc/mxmang10.pdf|title=Statistical Modeling|last=Neale|first=Michael C.|last2=Boker|first2=Steven M.|last3=Xie|first3=Gary|last4=Maes|first4=Hermine H.|publisher=Richmond, VA: Department of Psychiatry|year=1999|location=Virginia Commonwealth University}}</ref>. In qualitative research, building grounded theory models is about "[accounting] for not only all the major emergent concepts, themes, and dimensions, but also for their dynamic interrelationships. Speaking in classic boxes-and-arrows terms, this process amounts to assembling the constellation of boxes with a special focus on the arrows."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gioia|first=Dennis A.|last2=Corley|first2=Kevin G.|last3=Hamilton|first3=Aimee L.|date=2013-01|title=Seeking Qualitative Rigor in Inductive Research: Notes on the Gioia Methodology|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428112452151|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=16|issue=1|pages=15–31|doi=10.1177/1094428112452151|issn=1094-4281}}</ref> Researchers relying on system theory also use causal loop diagram where boxes represent variables and arrows represent causal influence (positive or negative), causal relationship can "feedback" (two variables can influence each other)<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4|title=Causal Loop Diagrams|last=Barbrook-Johnson|first=Pete|last2=Penn|first2=Alexandra S.|date=2022|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-031-01833-6|location=Cham|pages=47–59|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4}}</ref>.
Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships:
* {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1479}} : it is difficult to identify single causes for social phenomenons, many factors having an effect on the subject item will likely be contributing factors
== Testing concept modelling on {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} ==
We started by experimenting the modelling of concept by focusing on the concept of {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. We selected a subset of papers which had energy democracy as main topic :
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901202}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901182}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q136447761}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q129652515}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q114306483}}
We read each paper and used them as source to enter statements in the item {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. For example, "Energy democracy is both an ideal and a process"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Droubi|first=Sufyan|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|last3=McCauley|first3=Darren|date=2022-04-01|title=A critical review of energy democracy: A failure to deliver justice?|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137901182|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=86|pages=4|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2021.102444}}</ref>, we thus entered the wikidata statement {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} is an {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q840396}}, using the paper as source. The result of this first step is visible in the archival version of the item (22 May 2026) here https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q14944319&oldid=2495982191.
Ontology challenges:
*{{Wikidata entity link|P31}}: concepts may have a dual nature because they designate at the same time an idea and the entity that this idea represent. Energy democracy is a concept, an ideal, a process and an outcome.
*'''Process versus outcome :''' For material processes, the distinction between process and outcome is rather simple. For example, in Wikidata, {{Wikidata entity link|Q11629}} (practice of applying paint) is different from {{Wikidata entity link|Q3305213}} (visual artwork), and this distinction is based on the criterion "{{Wikidata entity link|Q127270577}}". However, this distinction is less straightforward for social processes that do not have an end. Such processes are ongoing and outcomes cannot be separated as clearly.
* '''Ideal versus reality :''' Concepts do not have goals in themselves, but the reality they represent can have goals. To distinguish goals from the process to reach it, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}} to describe ideals and {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}} to describe processes.
* '''Phenomenon versus theory :''' Wikidata current items are not really suited to model "meta-research" statements. For example, modelling the idea tha the literature on energy democracy is fragmented would require creating an item representing the energy democracy literature, not just energy democracy in general. Similarly, it can be difficult to model the chronological evolution of the definition of an idea (although it could be technically possible). It is hard to represent in Wikidata affirmations related to missing knowlege, propositions of untested hypothesis, critique of existing research or research agenda recommandations
* '''Origin of discourses versus origin of practices :''' To distinguish the causes of the concepts/discourses and the causes of the phenomenon itself, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}} to indicate the origins of the concept or the movements promoting it.
Some of the statements we added may seem contradictory. However, Wikidata supports "because statements essentially point to referenceable sources of information and different sources may provide contradicting information, it's possible to represent a plurality of perspectives on Wikidata"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Statements#Plurality_and_consensus|title=Help:Statements - Wikidata|website=www.wikidata.org|language=en|access-date=2026-06-08}}</ref>. The {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} concept could be split into more precise concepts to distinguish the social movement advocating for it, the political concept theorizing it and the concrete initiatives implementing it. However, the current sources do not make this distinction for now.
Other challenges
* Wikidata does not seem to be the best tool to model quantitative statements, for example, the paper {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}} states that "9.8% of the final energy consumed in developing countries comes from modern renewable energy sources". Including energy data in Wikidata require using or creating specific properties (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|P6826}})
* When concepts are not precisely defined, statements cannot be modelled correctly. For example, in the sentence "management of social affairs by voluntary and self-governing associations is deemed to ensure that both citizen choice and public welfare are best served"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Veelen|first=Bregje van|last2=Horst|first2=Dan van der|date=2018-12-01|title=What is energy democracy? Connecting social science energy research and political theory|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129652515|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|language=English|volume=46|pages=19–28|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2018.06.010}}</ref>, "choice" could refer to {{Wikidata entity link|Q111986453}}, {{Wikidata entity link|Q1331926}}, or {{Wikidata entity link|Q12888920}} as "choice" can refer to the availability of different options, or the decision process to chose among them.
Advantages :
* Link toward unique identifiers for concepts, but also laws (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|Q139764294}})
== Interactions with the Wikidata community ==
* Some Wikidata contributors added labels for {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} in other languages such as Armenian or Slovenian.
== Data visualisation ==
=== Filter statements ===
* Visualize only statements using a specitic source. Example : https://w.wiki/PFqH
* Visualize only items which are part to the present project (require that all items of the project include the statement {{Wikidata entity link|P6104}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q134545539}}).

== Introduction ==
Just sustainability transition refers to the process of shifting towards sustainable practices in a way that is equitable and inclusive. It includes dimensions of procedural, recognition, distributive and reparative justice and the concept is related to climate justice, environmental justice and energy justice<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2|title=What is the “Just Transition”?|last=Heffron|first=Raphael J.|date=2021|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-030-89460-3|editor-last=Heffron|editor-first=Raphael J.|location=Cham|pages=9–19|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=McCauley|first=Darren|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|date=2018-08-01|title=Just transition: Integrating climate, energy and environmental justice|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421518302301|journal=Energy Policy|volume=119|pages=1–7|doi=10.1016/j.enpol.2018.04.014|issn=0301-4215}}</ref>. The study of sustainability transitions in social sciences requires dynamic and adaptive research synthesis methods. Sustainability transitions involve complex, multi-level processes influenced by technological, economic, social, and policy factors<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2020-03-01|title=Micro-foundations of the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions: Developing a multi-dimensional model of agency through crossovers between social constructivism, evolutionary economics and neo-institutional theory|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040162518316111|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=152|pages=119894|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2019.119894|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|date=2023-08-01|title=A socio-technical transition perspective on positive tipping points in climate change mitigation: Analysing seven interacting feedback loops in offshore wind and electric vehicles acceleration|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040162523003244|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=193|pages=122639|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2023.122639|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sovacool|first=Benjamin K.|last2=Geels|first2=Frank W.|last3=Andersen|first3=Allan Dahl|last4=Grubb|first4=Michael|last5=Jordan|first5=Andrew J.|last6=Kern|first6=Florian|last7=Kivimaa|first7=Paula|last8=Lockwood|first8=Matthew|last9=Markard|first9=Jochen|date=2025-03-01|title=The acceleration of low-carbon transitions: Insights, concepts, challenges, and new directions for research|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214629625000295|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=121|pages=103948|doi=10.1016/j.erss.2025.103948|issn=2214-6296}}</ref>. Given the rapidly evolving nature of sustainability-related research, static literature reviews often become outdated, limiting their usefulness for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners. A living literature review – continuously updated with new findings – ensures that emerging insights, case studies, and theoretical developments are integrated cumulatively into the knowledge base. Developing such review will answer the call for more evidence-based practices in management sciences<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kepes|first=Sven|last2=Bennett|first2=Andrew A.|last3=McDaniel|first3=Michael A.|date=2014-09|title=Evidence-Based Management and the Trustworthiness of Our Cumulative Scientific Knowledge: Implications for Teaching, Research, and Practice|url=https://journals.aom.org/doi/10.5465/amle.2013.0193|journal=Academy of Management Learning & Education|volume=13|issue=3|pages=446–466|doi=10.5465/amle.2013.0193|issn=1537-260X}}</ref><ref>Pfeffer, J., & Sutton, R. I. (2006). Evidence-Based Management. Harvard Business Review, 13. </ref>. Our project assesses the potential of Wikidata to build living review workflow on sustainability transition. We address three issues encountered by scientists: information overload, knowledge synthesis and results dissemination.
==== The problem of academic information overload ====
Global scientific output doubles every nine years<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blogs.nature.com/news/2014/05/global-scientific-output-doubles-every-nine-years.html|title=Global scientific output doubles every nine years : News blog|website=blogs.nature.com|language=en-US|access-date=2026-06-23}}</ref>, pushed by the “publish or perish” model incentivizing researchers to increase the quantity of research outputs. Researchers are subject to information overload as the number of publications to read is beyond what a human brain can handle, they are expected to produce high-quality research under an increasing time pressure. This intensification of academic work is being denounced as detrimental to the deep cognitive process needed to actually produce interesting knowledge<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hartman|first=Yvonne|last2=Darab|first2=Sandy|date=2012-01-01|title=A Call for Slow Scholarship: A Case Study on the Intensification of Academic Life and Its Implications for Pedagogy|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|journal=Review of Education, Pedagogy, and Cultural Studies|volume=34|issue=1-2|pages=49–60|doi=10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|issn=1071-4413}}</ref>. “Wikifying science” may in this context contribute to facilitating researcher’s work while preserving scientific quality. That is why in this project, we aim to build a searchable academic publication database with enriched meta-data that will allow scholars to navigate the existing publications corpus related to just sustainability transition more easily.
==== The problem of knowledge synthesis ====
The volume of academic production is rendering knowledge synthesis difficult.

While such reviews method exist for quantitative research producing standardized results, they are not adapted to synthetize social science studies on sustainability transitions that involve diverse methodologies and various disciplinary perspectives. The goal of the project is to propose a demonstration of a living review method for social science findings on just sustainability transition, relying on the collaborative model and tools of Wikimedia projects notably Wikidata, Wikiversity and Wikipedia.
==== The problem of scientific results dissemination ====
There is urgent need to disseminate knowledge on impactful topics like sustainability transition while proprietary publication models, disinformation and censorship (e.g. US) is threatening access to free and reliable knowledge. In parallel, social scientists struggle to make their work impactful<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haley|first=Usha C.

Our project proposes to improve expert contribution by making wikimedia projects (notably wikidata) useful tools that can facilitate research work, in addition to a key knowledge dissemination platform that is not country or institution-dependent. We propose to approach Wikimedia projects as a powerful (and free) knowledge management infrastructure that researchers could use. The Wikimedia ecosystem offers solutions that have strong potential to put open science principles into practices, including [[wikipedia:FAIR_data|FAIR]] principles and [[wikipedia:Linked_data#Linked_open_data|linked open data]].

== Methodology ==
Our study rely on a meta-review, that is a review of existing literature reviews. Data presented in literature reviews are usually presented as tables or diagrams, and sometimes provided as supplementary materials in publications. However, these data are not made interoperable and are not used to update prior literature reviews. Our goal will be to synthesize results of previous literature reviews by making their findings compatible with linked open data and open science standards using Wikidata, Wikiversity, Wikipedia and other open-science infrastructures. We collected and enriched bibliographic data and extracted research result data to build a knowledge graph, we then experimented relevant visualization of this graph and are writing our report on this Wikiversity page, including links to our knowledge graph, experimenting a scientific writing compatible with the linked open data ideal.

== Building a corpus and enriching bibliographic metadata ==
The goal of this step was to import academic references into Wikidata, test '''Hypothesis 1''' and explore the advantages of constituting a scholarly corpus on Wikidata in comparison (or in complementarity) to existing tools used by researchers such as reference management softwares and knowledge management softwares. Reference management software (Zenodo, Mendeley…) are used to collect scientific item metadata and integrate them into academic writing. They can also be used to analyze and annotate academic articles and can include export functions making the data interoperable with other analysis tools. Knowledge management software (Obsidian, Zettlr, Room Research, Notion, Logseq, Reflect…) are used by some researchers to organize their ideas but are generally not used as part of a literature review methodology.
=== Database search ===
We conducted preliminary searches in various databases including Web of science, Go Triple, Dimensions and OpenAlex. Web of Science was the database offering the most relevant restults and included the possibility to filter results to display only litterature reviews. Articles metadata were exported (in .ris format) and then imported into the reference manager software Zotero.

=== Article screening ===
Articles abstract were then screened and we selected only articles which were litterature reviews focusing on concepts related to procedural justice as their main topics. We excluded article which were
* Not related to sustainability transition (e.g. sustainable shift in..., hard science papers...)
* Not literature reviews (e.g. review of policies, initiatives, cases, review notes, book review...)
* Not related to procedural justice but to participation into markets, participation in eco-friendly behaviors or included justice consideration only in “future research” suggestions
* Discussing participatory research methodologies (e.g. participatory modelling) without approaching it as an issue of justice, power or democracy
* Discussing procedural justice concepts as key variables or key results without it being the main focus of the paper
The files resulting from this step are available at : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973
=== Importing selected articles into Wikidata ===
To import the selected articles meta-data into Wikidata, we first ran [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 a script] to check if any article was already present in the database. Next we used [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/90acdc3eac4109830db1b3ab855fcb24 another script] that checks the ISSN of the publication in Wikidata and add P-Q-pairs in the extra field of Zotero. Then we exported the articles data using the "export to Wikidata QuickStatements" function of Zotero and use the QuickStatements tool to add them to Wikidata.
Next we used the [[wikidata:Wikidata:Zotero/Cita|Cita]] (V1.0.0-beta.17) Zotero add-on to add articles QID in Zotero. At this point we identified that duplicates had been created in Wikidata (possibly because the initial [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 script] did not work that well because of the recent [[wikidata:Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/WDQS_graph_split|Graph Split]] on Wikidata). We merged duplicates on wikidata using the [[wikidata:Help:Merge|"Merge" gadget]] on Wikidata. We checked manually for duplicated statments in those items.
=== Article classification through meta-data enrichement ===<!-- Add : What is meta-data enrichement -->
Existing review try to classify existing articles according to various criteria such as industry focus, academic discipline, geography of research sites (countries), stakeholder focus (community, consumer, worker...), type of study (case study, theory development) or methodology (quantitative, qualitative, mixt).<ref name=":5" /> We selected the most relevant properties in Wikidata to reflect these classifications : {{Wikidata entity link|P921}} to describe what the article is about, {{Wikidata entity link|P8363}} to describe its main methodology/research design and {{Wikidata entity link|P6153}} to describe its geographical focus.

==== Conceptual modelling ====
We first reflected on what kind of wikidata properties could be used to represent concepts and theories in wikidata. Capturing the content of a concept is not straightforward and there are various approaches coming from psychology and philosophy on the matter<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Origin of Concepts|last=Carey|first=Susan|date=2011|publisher=Oxford University Press USA - OSO|isbn=978-0-19-536763-8|series=Oxford Series in Cognitive Development Ser|location=Cary}}</ref> we summarize these approaches below and examine which wikidata properties exist to represent them.
* Definition: the content of a concept can be formed by its decomposition into other concepts. Many Wikidata properties can be relevant to model definitions, for example: {{Wikidata entity link|P1269}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P361}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P527}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1552}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P6477}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}}...
* Categorization: the content of a concept is formed by its illustration by an exemplar (a [[wikipedia:Prototype_theory|prototype]]) that best represent the concept. Apart from the inclusion of images to illustrate an item, Wikidata structure do not highlight exemplars. However, properties signifying relations of categorizations are among the most used with {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} and {{Wikidata entity link|P279}}.
* Theory: the content of a concept is formed by its role in providing explanation of the world. Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships: {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1479}}.
* Essence: the content of a concept is "something" deep explaning the entity's existence and its properties. We can use concepts before knowing what they mean, and this is what allows us to revise our knowledge about it. The idea of essence is well represented by the QID of Wikidata entities: it is independent of language and definitions and we can create it before really knowing what all its properties will be.
* Origin: the content of the concept is determined causally by social and historial factors (e.g. someone inventing the concept and introducing its use in a language community). This can be represented by the property {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}}.
==== Categorization and conceptualisation practices in management sciences ====
In management sciences « systematic categorizing is the best and perhaps only method for clearing up semantic confusion, management scholars never take the classical approaches to categorizing that facilitated tremendous progress in the physical sciences, and seldomly build on extant categorial schemes. »<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Pierce|first=Jason R.|date=2025-01|title=Categorizing Concepts and Phenomena in Management Research: A Four-Phase Integrative Review and Recommendations|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/annals.2023.0052|journal=Academy of Management Annals|language=en|volume=19|issue=1|page=28|pages=9–37|doi=10.5465/annals.2023.0052|issn=1941-6520}}</ref>.
Some scholars discussed how conceptualization should be done<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Podsakoff|first=Philip M.|last2=MacKenzie|first2=Scott B.|last3=Podsakoff|first3=Nathan P.|date=2016-04|title=Recommendations for Creating Better Concept Definitions in the Organizational, Behavioral, and Social Sciences|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428115624965|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=19|issue=2|pages=159–203|doi=10.1177/1094428115624965|issn=1094-4281}}</ref>,<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Makowski|first=Piotr Tomasz|date=2021-10|title=Optimizing Concepts: Conceptual Engineering in the Field of Management—The Case of Routines Research|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/amr.2019.0252|journal=Academy of Management Review|language=en|volume=46|issue=4|pages=702–724|doi=10.5465/amr.2019.0252|issn=0363-7425}}</ref>.
==== Thematic networks ====
[[File:Thematic network example.jpg|thumb|547x547px|Structure of a thematic network (Source: Attride-Stirling 2001)]]
A thematic network is “simply a way of organizing a thematic analysis of qualitative data”<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Attride-Stirling|first=Jennifer|date=2001-12|title=Thematic networks: an analytic tool for qualitative research|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/146879410100100307|journal=Qualitative Research|language=en|volume=1|issue=3|pages=385–405|doi=10.1177/146879410100100307|issn=1468-7941}}</ref>. It is compatible with classical coding strategies such as [[grounded theory]]<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Corbin|first=Juliet|last2=Strauss|first2=Anselm|date=1990-12-01|title=Grounded Theory Research: Procedures, Canons and Evaluative Criteria|url=https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602/html|journal=Zeitschrift für Soziologie|language=en|volume=19|issue=6|pages=418–427|doi=10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602|issn=2366-0325}}</ref>. Thematic networks can be used to visualise the data structure after identifying themes and help structure and interpret the data<ref name=":7" />. The principle is to assemble basic themes into more general themes.
Qualitative researchers usually use {{Wikidata entity link|Q4550939}} and qualitative coding (e.g. grounded theory) to identify themes and sub-themes.
However, the nature of the relationship between these various themes and sub-themes is often not specified.
*
==== Causal networks ====
The use of diagrams to represent causal relationship exist in various research practices. In statistics, researchers sometime present models with boxes and arrows representing correlations and/or causations<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://mirror.vcu.edu/pub/mx/doc/mxmang10.pdf|title=Statistical Modeling|last=Neale|first=Michael C.|last2=Boker|first2=Steven M.|last3=Xie|first3=Gary|last4=Maes|first4=Hermine H.|publisher=Richmond, VA: Department of Psychiatry|year=1999|location=Virginia Commonwealth University}}</ref>. In qualitative research, building grounded theory models is about "[accounting] for not only all the major emergent concepts, themes, and dimensions, but also for their dynamic interrelationships. Speaking in classic boxes-and-arrows terms, this process amounts to assembling the constellation of boxes with a special focus on the arrows."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gioia|first=Dennis A.|last2=Corley|first2=Kevin G.|last3=Hamilton|first3=Aimee L.|date=2013-01|title=Seeking Qualitative Rigor in Inductive Research: Notes on the Gioia Methodology|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428112452151|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=16|issue=1|pages=15–31|doi=10.1177/1094428112452151|issn=1094-4281}}</ref> Researchers relying on system theory also use causal loop diagram where boxes represent variables and arrows represent causal influence (positive or negative), causal relationship can "feedback" (two variables can influence each other)<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4|title=Causal Loop Diagrams|last=Barbrook-Johnson|first=Pete|last2=Penn|first2=Alexandra S.|date=2022|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-031-01833-6|location=Cham|pages=47–59|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4}}</ref>.
Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships:
* {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1479}} : it is difficult to identify single causes for social phenomenons, many factors having an effect on the subject item will likely be contributing factors
== Testing concept modelling on {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} ==
We started by experimenting the modelling of concept by focusing on the concept of {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. We selected a subset of papers which had energy democracy as main topic :
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901202}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901182}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q136447761}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q129652515}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q114306483}}
We read each paper and used them as source to enter statements in the item {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. For example, "Energy democracy is both an ideal and a process"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Droubi|first=Sufyan|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|last3=McCauley|first3=Darren|date=2022-04-01|title=A critical review of energy democracy: A failure to deliver justice?|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137901182|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=86|pages=4|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2021.102444}}</ref>, we thus entered the wikidata statement {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} is an {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q840396}}, using the paper as source. The result of this first step is visible in the archival version of the item (22 May 2026) here https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q14944319&oldid=2495982191.
Ontology challenges:
*{{Wikidata entity link|P31}}: concepts may have a dual nature because they designate at the same time an idea and the entity that this idea represent. Energy democracy is a concept, an ideal, a process and an outcome.
*'''Process versus outcome :''' For material processes, the distinction between process and outcome is rather simple. For example, in Wikidata, {{Wikidata entity link|Q11629}} (practice of applying paint) is different from {{Wikidata entity link|Q3305213}} (visual artwork), and this distinction is based on the criterion "{{Wikidata entity link|Q127270577}}". However, this distinction is less straightforward for social processes that do not have an end. Such processes are ongoing and outcomes cannot be separated as clearly.
* '''Ideal versus reality :''' Concepts do not have goals in themselves, but the reality they represent can have goals. To distinguish goals from the process to reach it, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}} to describe ideals and {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}} to describe processes.
* '''Phenomenon versus theory :''' Wikidata current items are not really suited to model "meta-research" statements. For example, modelling the idea tha the literature on energy democracy is fragmented would require creating an item representing the energy democracy literature, not just energy democracy in general. Similarly, it can be difficult to model the chronological evolution of the definition of an idea (although it could be technically possible). It is hard to represent in Wikidata affirmations related to missing knowlege, propositions of untested hypothesis, critique of existing research or research agenda recommandations
* '''Origin of discourses versus origin of practices :''' To distinguish the causes of the concepts/discourses and the causes of the phenomenon itself, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}} to indicate the origins of the concept or the movements promoting it.
Some of the statements we added may seem contradictory. However, Wikidata supports "because statements essentially point to referenceable sources of information and different sources may provide contradicting information, it's possible to represent a plurality of perspectives on Wikidata"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Statements#Plurality_and_consensus|title=Help:Statements - Wikidata|website=www.wikidata.org|language=en|access-date=2026-06-08}}</ref>. The {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} concept could be split into more precise concepts to distinguish the social movement advocating for it, the political concept theorizing it and the concrete initiatives implementing it. However, the current sources do not make this distinction for now.
Other challenges
* Wikidata does not seem to be the best tool to model quantitative statements, for example, the paper {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}} states that "9.8% of the final energy consumed in developing countries comes from modern renewable energy sources". Including energy data in Wikidata require using or creating specific properties (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|P6826}})
* When concepts are not precisely defined, statements cannot be modelled correctly. For example, in the sentence "management of social affairs by voluntary and self-governing associations is deemed to ensure that both citizen choice and public welfare are best served"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Veelen|first=Bregje van|last2=Horst|first2=Dan van der|date=2018-12-01|title=What is energy democracy? Connecting social science energy research and political theory|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129652515|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|language=English|volume=46|pages=19–28|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2018.06.010}}</ref>, "choice" could refer to {{Wikidata entity link|Q111986453}}, {{Wikidata entity link|Q1331926}}, or {{Wikidata entity link|Q12888920}} as "choice" can refer to the availability of different options, or the decision process to chose among them.
Advantages :
* Link toward unique identifiers for concepts, but also laws (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|Q139764294}})
== Interactions with the Wikidata community ==
* Some Wikidata contributors added labels for {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} in other languages such as Armenian or Slovenian.
== Data visualisation ==
=== Filter statements ===
* Visualize only statements using a specitic source. Example : https://w.wiki/PFqH
* Visualize only items which are part to the present project (require that all items of the project include the statement {{Wikidata entity link|P6104}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q134545539}}).

== Introduction ==
Just sustainability transition refers to the process of shifting towards sustainable practices in a way that is equitable and inclusive. It includes dimensions of procedural, recognition, distributive and reparative justice and the concept is related to climate justice, environmental justice and energy justice<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2|title=What is the “Just Transition”?|last=Heffron|first=Raphael J.|date=2021|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-030-89460-3|editor-last=Heffron|editor-first=Raphael J.|location=Cham|pages=9–19|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=McCauley|first=Darren|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|date=2018-08-01|title=Just transition: Integrating climate, energy and environmental justice|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421518302301|journal=Energy Policy|volume=119|pages=1–7|doi=10.1016/j.enpol.2018.04.014|issn=0301-4215}}</ref>. The study of sustainability transitions in social sciences requires dynamic and adaptive research synthesis methods. Sustainability transitions involve complex, multi-level processes influenced by technological, economic, social, and policy factors<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2020-03-01|title=Micro-foundations of the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions: Developing a multi-dimensional model of agency through crossovers between social constructivism, evolutionary economics and neo-institutional theory|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040162518316111|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=152|pages=119894|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2019.119894|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|date=2023-08-01|title=A socio-technical transition perspective on positive tipping points in climate change mitigation: Analysing seven interacting feedback loops in offshore wind and electric vehicles acceleration|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040162523003244|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=193|pages=122639|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2023.122639|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sovacool|first=Benjamin K.|last2=Geels|first2=Frank W.|last3=Andersen|first3=Allan Dahl|last4=Grubb|first4=Michael|last5=Jordan|first5=Andrew J.|last6=Kern|first6=Florian|last7=Kivimaa|first7=Paula|last8=Lockwood|first8=Matthew|last9=Markard|first9=Jochen|date=2025-03-01|title=The acceleration of low-carbon transitions: Insights, concepts, challenges, and new directions for research|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214629625000295|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=121|pages=103948|doi=10.1016/j.erss.2025.103948|issn=2214-6296}}</ref>. Given the rapidly evolving nature of sustainability-related research, static literature reviews often become outdated, limiting their usefulness for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners. A living literature review – continuously updated with new findings – ensures that emerging insights, case studies, and theoretical developments are integrated cumulatively into the knowledge base. Developing such review will answer the call for more evidence-based practices in management sciences<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kepes|first=Sven|last2=Bennett|first2=Andrew A.|last3=McDaniel|first3=Michael A.|date=2014-09|title=Evidence-Based Management and the Trustworthiness of Our Cumulative Scientific Knowledge: Implications for Teaching, Research, and Practice|url=https://journals.aom.org/doi/10.5465/amle.2013.0193|journal=Academy of Management Learning & Education|volume=13|issue=3|pages=446–466|doi=10.5465/amle.2013.0193|issn=1537-260X}}</ref><ref>Pfeffer, J., & Sutton, R. I. (2006). Evidence-Based Management. Harvard Business Review, 13. </ref>. Our project assesses the potential of Wikidata to build living review workflow on sustainability transition. We address three issues encountered by scientists: information overload, knowledge synthesis and results dissemination.
==== The problem of academic information overload ====
Global scientific output doubles every nine years<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blogs.nature.com/news/2014/05/global-scientific-output-doubles-every-nine-years.html|title=Global scientific output doubles every nine years : News blog|website=blogs.nature.com|language=en-US|access-date=2026-06-23}}</ref>, pushed by the “publish or perish” model incentivizing researchers to increase the quantity of research outputs. Researchers are subject to information overload as the number of publications to read is beyond what a human brain can handle, they are expected to produce high-quality research under an increasing time pressure. This intensification of academic work is being denounced as detrimental to the deep cognitive process needed to actually produce interesting knowledge<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hartman|first=Yvonne|last2=Darab|first2=Sandy|date=2012-01-01|title=A Call for Slow Scholarship: A Case Study on the Intensification of Academic Life and Its Implications for Pedagogy|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|journal=Review of Education, Pedagogy, and Cultural Studies|volume=34|issue=1-2|pages=49–60|doi=10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|issn=1071-4413}}</ref>. “Wikifying science” may in this context contribute to facilitating researcher’s work while preserving scientific quality. That is why in this project, we aim to build a searchable academic publication database with enriched meta-data that will allow scholars to navigate the existing publications corpus related to just sustainability transition more easily.
==== The problem of knowledge synthesis ====
The volume of academic production is rendering knowledge synthesis difficult.

While such reviews method exist for quantitative research producing standardized results, they are not adapted to synthetize social science studies on sustainability transitions that involve diverse methodologies and various disciplinary perspectives. The goal of the project is to propose a demonstration of a living review method for social science findings on just sustainability transition, relying on the collaborative model and tools of Wikimedia projects notably Wikidata, Wikiversity and Wikipedia.
==== The problem of scientific results dissemination ====
There is urgent need to disseminate knowledge on impactful topics like sustainability transition while proprietary publication models, disinformation and censorship (e.g. US) is threatening access to free and reliable knowledge. In parallel, social scientists struggle to make their work impactful<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haley|first=Usha C.

Our project proposes to improve expert contribution by making wikimedia projects (notably wikidata) useful tools that can facilitate research work, in addition to a key knowledge dissemination platform that is not country or institution-dependent. We propose to approach Wikimedia projects as a powerful (and free) knowledge management infrastructure that researchers could use. The Wikimedia ecosystem offers solutions that have strong potential to put open science principles into practices, including [[wikipedia:FAIR_data|FAIR]] principles and [[wikipedia:Linked_data#Linked_open_data|linked open data]].

== Methodology ==
Our study rely on a meta-review, that is a review of existing literature reviews. Data presented in literature reviews are usually presented as tables or diagrams, and sometimes provided as supplementary materials in publications. However, these data are not made interoperable and are not used to update prior literature reviews. Our goal will be to synthesize results of previous literature reviews by making their findings compatible with linked open data and open science standards using Wikidata, Wikiversity, Wikipedia and other open-science infrastructures. We collected and enriched bibliographic data and extracted research result data to build a knowledge graph, we then experimented relevant visualization of this graph and are writing our report on this Wikiversity page, including links to our knowledge graph, experimenting a scientific writing compatible with the linked open data ideal.

== Building a corpus and enriching bibliographic metadata ==
The goal of this step was to import academic references into Wikidata, test '''Hypothesis 1''' and explore the advantages of constituting a scholarly corpus on Wikidata in comparison (or in complementarity) to existing tools used by researchers such as reference management softwares and knowledge management softwares. Reference management software (Zenodo, Mendeley…) are used to collect scientific item metadata and integrate them into academic writing. They can also be used to analyze and annotate academic articles and can include export functions making the data interoperable with other analysis tools. Knowledge management software (Obsidian, Zettlr, Room Research, Notion, Logseq, Reflect…) are used by some researchers to organize their ideas but are generally not used as part of a literature review methodology.
=== Database search ===
We conducted preliminary searches in various databases including Web of science, Go Triple, Dimensions and OpenAlex. Web of Science was the database offering the most relevant restults and included the possibility to filter results to display only litterature reviews. Articles metadata were exported (in .ris format) and then imported into the reference manager software Zotero.

=== Article screening ===
Articles abstract were then screened and we selected only articles which were litterature reviews focusing on concepts related to procedural justice as their main topics. We excluded article which were
* Not related to sustainability transition (e.g. sustainable shift in..., hard science papers...)
* Not literature reviews (e.g. review of policies, initiatives, cases, review notes, book review...)
* Not related to procedural justice but to participation into markets, participation in eco-friendly behaviors or included justice consideration only in “future research” suggestions
* Discussing participatory research methodologies (e.g. participatory modelling) without approaching it as an issue of justice, power or democracy
* Discussing procedural justice concepts as key variables or key results without it being the main focus of the paper
The files resulting from this step are available at : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973
=== Importing selected articles into Wikidata ===
To import the selected articles meta-data into Wikidata, we first ran [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 a script] to check if any article was already present in the database. Next we used [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/90acdc3eac4109830db1b3ab855fcb24 another script] that checks the ISSN of the publication in Wikidata and add P-Q-pairs in the extra field of Zotero. Then we exported the articles data using the "export to Wikidata QuickStatements" function of Zotero and use the QuickStatements tool to add them to Wikidata.
Next we used the [[wikidata:Wikidata:Zotero/Cita|Cita]] (V1.0.0-beta.17) Zotero add-on to add articles QID in Zotero. At this point we identified that duplicates had been created in Wikidata (possibly because the initial [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 script] did not work that well because of the recent [[wikidata:Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/WDQS_graph_split|Graph Split]] on Wikidata). We merged duplicates on wikidata using the [[wikidata:Help:Merge|"Merge" gadget]] on Wikidata. We checked manually for duplicated statments in those items.
=== Article classification through meta-data enrichement ===<!-- Add : What is meta-data enrichement -->
Existing review try to classify existing articles according to various criteria such as industry focus, academic discipline, geography of research sites (countries), stakeholder focus (community, consumer, worker...), type of study (case study, theory development) or methodology (quantitative, qualitative, mixt).<ref name=":5" /> We selected the most relevant properties in Wikidata to reflect these classifications : {{Wikidata entity link|P921}} to describe what the article is about, {{Wikidata entity link|P8363}} to describe its main methodology/research design and {{Wikidata entity link|P6153}} to describe its geographical focus.

We used the [https://author-disambiguator.toolforge.org/ Author Disambiguator] tool to create Wikidata items for researchers who did not yet have one. This tool helps to minimise errors caused by homonyms among researchers: following a query, it categorises scientific publications into thematic groups. It also automatically searches for [[d:Wikidata:ORCIDator|ORCID]], ResearchGate and VIAF pages.

In addition, we exported the dataset we build on Wikidata and shared it on the open archive Zenodo : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973.
The goal of this step was to test '''Hypothesis 1:''' '''Wikidata can be used to enrich scientific item metadata and build living scientific corpora with rich annotations.'''
Advantages and limitations compared to existing solutions:
Compared to reference management softwares (Zenodo, Mendeley…) :
Compared to knowledge management softwares (Obsidian, Zettlr, Room Research, Notion, Logseq, Reflect…) :
Compared to bilbiographic catalogues (OpenAlex, Web Of Science, GoTriple...), Wikidata will never be as exhaustive. An important amount o bibliographic data was imported in Wikidata with the project [[d:Wikidata:WikiCite|Wikicite]]. At the time of its creation in 2014, Wikicite was adressing the issue of closed bibliographic data and was trying to make these data open, many academic items were imported automatically in Wikidata through scraping. This practice was abandoned because the large amont of bibliographic data on wikidata congested queries Wikidata (this led to the decision to split the Wikidata graph between academic and non academic entities), and because new open science initiatives, notably OpenAlex created in 2022 are taking on the task to create an exhaistive catalogue of all scholarly production.

==== Conceptual modelling ====
We first reflected on what kind of wikidata properties could be used to represent concepts and theories in wikidata. Capturing the content of a concept is not straightforward and there are various approaches coming from psychology and philosophy on the matter<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Origin of Concepts|last=Carey|first=Susan|date=2011|publisher=Oxford University Press USA - OSO|isbn=978-0-19-536763-8|series=Oxford Series in Cognitive Development Ser|location=Cary}}</ref> we summarize these approaches below and examine which wikidata properties exist to represent them.
* Definition: the content of a concept can be formed by its decomposition into other concepts. Many Wikidata properties can be relevant to model definitions, for example: {{Wikidata entity link|P1269}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P361}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P527}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1552}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P6477}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}}...
* Categorization: the content of a concept is formed by its illustration by an exemplar (a [[wikipedia:Prototype_theory|prototype]]) that best represent the concept. Apart from the inclusion of images to illustrate an item, Wikidata structure do not highlight exemplars. However, properties signifying relations of categorizations are among the most used with {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} and {{Wikidata entity link|P279}}.
* Theory: the content of a concept is formed by its role in providing explanation of the world. Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships: {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1479}}.
* Essence: the content of a concept is "something" deep explaning the entity's existence and its properties. We can use concepts before knowing what they mean, and this is what allows us to revise our knowledge about it. The idea of essence is well represented by the QID of Wikidata entities: it is independent of language and definitions and we can create it before really knowing what all its properties will be.
* Origin: the content of the concept is determined causally by social and historial factors (e.g. someone inventing the concept and introducing its use in a language community). This can be represented by the property {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}}.
==== Categorization and conceptualisation practices in management sciences ====
In management sciences « systematic categorizing is the best and perhaps only method for clearing up semantic confusion, management scholars never take the classical approaches to categorizing that facilitated tremendous progress in the physical sciences, and seldomly build on extant categorial schemes. »<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Pierce|first=Jason R.|date=2025-01|title=Categorizing Concepts and Phenomena in Management Research: A Four-Phase Integrative Review and Recommendations|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/annals.2023.0052|journal=Academy of Management Annals|language=en|volume=19|issue=1|page=28|pages=9–37|doi=10.5465/annals.2023.0052|issn=1941-6520}}</ref>.
Some scholars discussed how conceptualization should be done<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Podsakoff|first=Philip M.|last2=MacKenzie|first2=Scott B.|last3=Podsakoff|first3=Nathan P.|date=2016-04|title=Recommendations for Creating Better Concept Definitions in the Organizational, Behavioral, and Social Sciences|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428115624965|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=19|issue=2|pages=159–203|doi=10.1177/1094428115624965|issn=1094-4281}}</ref>,<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Makowski|first=Piotr Tomasz|date=2021-10|title=Optimizing Concepts: Conceptual Engineering in the Field of Management—The Case of Routines Research|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/amr.2019.0252|journal=Academy of Management Review|language=en|volume=46|issue=4|pages=702–724|doi=10.5465/amr.2019.0252|issn=0363-7425}}</ref>.
==== Thematic networks ====
[[File:Thematic network example.jpg|thumb|547x547px|Structure of a thematic network (Source: Attride-Stirling 2001)]]
A thematic network is “simply a way of organizing a thematic analysis of qualitative data”<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Attride-Stirling|first=Jennifer|date=2001-12|title=Thematic networks: an analytic tool for qualitative research|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/146879410100100307|journal=Qualitative Research|language=en|volume=1|issue=3|pages=385–405|doi=10.1177/146879410100100307|issn=1468-7941}}</ref>. It is compatible with classical coding strategies such as [[grounded theory]]<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Corbin|first=Juliet|last2=Strauss|first2=Anselm|date=1990-12-01|title=Grounded Theory Research: Procedures, Canons and Evaluative Criteria|url=https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602/html|journal=Zeitschrift für Soziologie|language=en|volume=19|issue=6|pages=418–427|doi=10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602|issn=2366-0325}}</ref>. Thematic networks can be used to visualise the data structure after identifying themes and help structure and interpret the data<ref name=":7" />. The principle is to assemble basic themes into more general themes.
Qualitative researchers usually use {{Wikidata entity link|Q4550939}} and qualitative coding (e.g. grounded theory) to identify themes and sub-themes.
However, the nature of the relationship between these various themes and sub-themes is often not specified.
*
==== Causal networks ====
The use of diagrams to represent causal relationship exist in various research practices. In statistics, researchers sometime present models with boxes and arrows representing correlations and/or causations<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://mirror.vcu.edu/pub/mx/doc/mxmang10.pdf|title=Statistical Modeling|last=Neale|first=Michael C.|last2=Boker|first2=Steven M.|last3=Xie|first3=Gary|last4=Maes|first4=Hermine H.|publisher=Richmond, VA: Department of Psychiatry|year=1999|location=Virginia Commonwealth University}}</ref>. In qualitative research, building grounded theory models is about "[accounting] for not only all the major emergent concepts, themes, and dimensions, but also for their dynamic interrelationships. Speaking in classic boxes-and-arrows terms, this process amounts to assembling the constellation of boxes with a special focus on the arrows."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gioia|first=Dennis A.|last2=Corley|first2=Kevin G.|last3=Hamilton|first3=Aimee L.|date=2013-01|title=Seeking Qualitative Rigor in Inductive Research: Notes on the Gioia Methodology|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428112452151|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=16|issue=1|pages=15–31|doi=10.1177/1094428112452151|issn=1094-4281}}</ref> Researchers relying on system theory also use causal loop diagram where boxes represent variables and arrows represent causal influence (positive or negative), causal relationship can "feedback" (two variables can influence each other)<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4|title=Causal Loop Diagrams|last=Barbrook-Johnson|first=Pete|last2=Penn|first2=Alexandra S.|date=2022|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-031-01833-6|location=Cham|pages=47–59|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4}}</ref>.
Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships:
* {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1479}} : it is difficult to identify single causes for social phenomenons, many factors having an effect on the subject item will likely be contributing factors
== Testing concept modelling on {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} ==
We started by experimenting the modelling of concept by focusing on the concept of {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. We selected a subset of papers which had energy democracy as main topic :
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901202}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901182}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q136447761}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q129652515}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q114306483}}
We read each paper and used them as source to enter statements in the item {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. For example, "Energy democracy is both an ideal and a process"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Droubi|first=Sufyan|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|last3=McCauley|first3=Darren|date=2022-04-01|title=A critical review of energy democracy: A failure to deliver justice?|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137901182|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=86|pages=4|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2021.102444}}</ref>, we thus entered the wikidata statement {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} is an {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q840396}}, using the paper as source. The result of this first step is visible in the archival version of the item (22 May 2026) here https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q14944319&oldid=2495982191.
Ontology challenges:
*{{Wikidata entity link|P31}}: concepts may have a dual nature because they designate at the same time an idea and the entity that this idea represent. Energy democracy is a concept, an ideal, a process and an outcome.
*'''Process versus outcome :''' For material processes, the distinction between process and outcome is rather simple. For example, in Wikidata, {{Wikidata entity link|Q11629}} (practice of applying paint) is different from {{Wikidata entity link|Q3305213}} (visual artwork), and this distinction is based on the criterion "{{Wikidata entity link|Q127270577}}". However, this distinction is less straightforward for social processes that do not have an end. Such processes are ongoing and outcomes cannot be separated as clearly.
* '''Ideal versus reality :''' Concepts do not have goals in themselves, but the reality they represent can have goals. To distinguish goals from the process to reach it, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}} to describe ideals and {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}} to describe processes.
* '''Phenomenon versus theory :''' Wikidata current items are not really suited to model "meta-research" statements. For example, modelling the idea tha the literature on energy democracy is fragmented would require creating an item representing the energy democracy literature, not just energy democracy in general. Similarly, it can be difficult to model the chronological evolution of the definition of an idea (although it could be technically possible). It is hard to represent in Wikidata affirmations related to missing knowlege, propositions of untested hypothesis, critique of existing research or research agenda recommandations
* '''Origin of discourses versus origin of practices :''' To distinguish the causes of the concepts/discourses and the causes of the phenomenon itself, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}} to indicate the origins of the concept or the movements promoting it.
Some of the statements we added may seem contradictory. However, Wikidata supports "because statements essentially point to referenceable sources of information and different sources may provide contradicting information, it's possible to represent a plurality of perspectives on Wikidata"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Statements#Plurality_and_consensus|title=Help:Statements - Wikidata|website=www.wikidata.org|language=en|access-date=2026-06-08}}</ref>. The {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} concept could be split into more precise concepts to distinguish the social movement advocating for it, the political concept theorizing it and the concrete initiatives implementing it. However, the current sources do not make this distinction for now.
Other challenges
* Wikidata does not seem to be the best tool to model quantitative statements, for example, the paper {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}} states that "9.8% of the final energy consumed in developing countries comes from modern renewable energy sources". Including energy data in Wikidata require using or creating specific properties (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|P6826}})
* When concepts are not precisely defined, statements cannot be modelled correctly. For example, in the sentence "management of social affairs by voluntary and self-governing associations is deemed to ensure that both citizen choice and public welfare are best served"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Veelen|first=Bregje van|last2=Horst|first2=Dan van der|date=2018-12-01|title=What is energy democracy? Connecting social science energy research and political theory|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129652515|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|language=English|volume=46|pages=19–28|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2018.06.010}}</ref>, "choice" could refer to {{Wikidata entity link|Q111986453}}, {{Wikidata entity link|Q1331926}}, or {{Wikidata entity link|Q12888920}} as "choice" can refer to the availability of different options, or the decision process to chose among them.
Advantages :
* Link toward unique identifiers for concepts, but also laws (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|Q139764294}})
== Interactions with the Wikidata community ==
* Some Wikidata contributors added labels for {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} in other languages such as Armenian or Slovenian.
== Data visualisation ==
=== Filter statements ===
* Visualize only statements using a specitic source. Example : https://w.wiki/PFqH
* Visualize only items which are part to the present project (require that all items of the project include the statement {{Wikidata entity link|P6104}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q134545539}}).

== Introduction ==
Just sustainability transition refers to the process of shifting towards sustainable practices in a way that is equitable and inclusive. It includes dimensions of procedural, recognition, distributive and reparative justice and the concept is related to climate justice, environmental justice and energy justice<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2|title=What is the “Just Transition”?|last=Heffron|first=Raphael J.|date=2021|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-030-89460-3|editor-last=Heffron|editor-first=Raphael J.|location=Cham|pages=9–19|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=McCauley|first=Darren|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|date=2018-08-01|title=Just transition: Integrating climate, energy and environmental justice|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421518302301|journal=Energy Policy|volume=119|pages=1–7|doi=10.1016/j.enpol.2018.04.014|issn=0301-4215}}</ref>. The study of sustainability transitions in social sciences requires dynamic and adaptive research synthesis methods. Sustainability transitions involve complex, multi-level processes influenced by technological, economic, social, and policy factors<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2020-03-01|title=Micro-foundations of the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions: Developing a multi-dimensional model of agency through crossovers between social constructivism, evolutionary economics and neo-institutional theory|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040162518316111|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=152|pages=119894|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2019.119894|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|date=2023-08-01|title=A socio-technical transition perspective on positive tipping points in climate change mitigation: Analysing seven interacting feedback loops in offshore wind and electric vehicles acceleration|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040162523003244|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=193|pages=122639|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2023.122639|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sovacool|first=Benjamin K.|last2=Geels|first2=Frank W.|last3=Andersen|first3=Allan Dahl|last4=Grubb|first4=Michael|last5=Jordan|first5=Andrew J.|last6=Kern|first6=Florian|last7=Kivimaa|first7=Paula|last8=Lockwood|first8=Matthew|last9=Markard|first9=Jochen|date=2025-03-01|title=The acceleration of low-carbon transitions: Insights, concepts, challenges, and new directions for research|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214629625000295|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=121|pages=103948|doi=10.1016/j.erss.2025.103948|issn=2214-6296}}</ref>. Given the rapidly evolving nature of sustainability-related research, static literature reviews often become outdated, limiting their usefulness for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners. A living literature review – continuously updated with new findings – ensures that emerging insights, case studies, and theoretical developments are integrated cumulatively into the knowledge base. Developing such review will answer the call for more evidence-based practices in management sciences<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kepes|first=Sven|last2=Bennett|first2=Andrew A.|last3=McDaniel|first3=Michael A.|date=2014-09|title=Evidence-Based Management and the Trustworthiness of Our Cumulative Scientific Knowledge: Implications for Teaching, Research, and Practice|url=https://journals.aom.org/doi/10.5465/amle.2013.0193|journal=Academy of Management Learning & Education|volume=13|issue=3|pages=446–466|doi=10.5465/amle.2013.0193|issn=1537-260X}}</ref><ref>Pfeffer, J., & Sutton, R. I. (2006). Evidence-Based Management. Harvard Business Review, 13. </ref>. Our project assesses the potential of Wikidata to build living review workflow on sustainability transition. We address three issues encountered by scientists: information overload, knowledge synthesis and results dissemination.
==== The problem of academic information overload ====
Global scientific output doubles every nine years<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blogs.nature.com/news/2014/05/global-scientific-output-doubles-every-nine-years.html|title=Global scientific output doubles every nine years : News blog|website=blogs.nature.com|language=en-US|access-date=2026-06-23}}</ref>, pushed by the “publish or perish” model incentivizing researchers to increase the quantity of research outputs. Researchers are subject to information overload as the number of publications to read is beyond what a human brain can handle, they are expected to produce high-quality research under an increasing time pressure. This intensification of academic work is being denounced as detrimental to the deep cognitive process needed to actually produce interesting knowledge<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hartman|first=Yvonne|last2=Darab|first2=Sandy|date=2012-01-01|title=A Call for Slow Scholarship: A Case Study on the Intensification of Academic Life and Its Implications for Pedagogy|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|journal=Review of Education, Pedagogy, and Cultural Studies|volume=34|issue=1-2|pages=49–60|doi=10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|issn=1071-4413}}</ref>. “Wikifying science” may in this context contribute to facilitating researcher’s work while preserving scientific quality. That is why in this project, we aim to build a searchable academic publication database with enriched meta-data that will allow scholars to navigate the existing publications corpus related to just sustainability transition more easily.
==== The problem of knowledge synthesis ====
The volume of academic production is rendering knowledge synthesis difficult.

While such reviews method exist for quantitative research producing standardized results, they are not adapted to synthetize social science studies on sustainability transitions that involve diverse methodologies and various disciplinary perspectives. The goal of the project is to propose a demonstration of a living review method for social science findings on just sustainability transition, relying on the collaborative model and tools of Wikimedia projects notably Wikidata, Wikiversity and Wikipedia.
==== The problem of scientific results dissemination ====
There is urgent need to disseminate knowledge on impactful topics like sustainability transition while proprietary publication models, disinformation and censorship (e.g. US) is threatening access to free and reliable knowledge. In parallel, social scientists struggle to make their work impactful<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haley|first=Usha C.

Our project proposes to improve expert contribution by making wikimedia projects (notably wikidata) useful tools that can facilitate research work, in addition to a key knowledge dissemination platform that is not country or institution-dependent. We propose to approach Wikimedia projects as a powerful (and free) knowledge management infrastructure that researchers could use. The Wikimedia ecosystem offers solutions that have strong potential to put open science principles into practices, including [[wikipedia:FAIR_data|FAIR]] principles and [[wikipedia:Linked_data#Linked_open_data|linked open data]].

== Methodology ==
Our study rely on a meta-review, that is a review of existing literature reviews. Data presented in literature reviews are usually presented as tables or diagrams, and sometimes provided as supplementary materials in publications. However, these data are not made interoperable and are not used to update prior literature reviews. Our goal will be to synthesize results of previous literature reviews by making their findings compatible with linked open data and open science standards using Wikidata, Wikiversity, Wikipedia and other open-science infrastructures. We collected and enriched bibliographic data and extracted research result data to build a knowledge graph, we then experimented relevant visualization of this graph and are writing our report on this Wikiversity page, including links to our knowledge graph, experimenting a scientific writing compatible with the linked open data ideal.

== Building a corpus and enriching bibliographic metadata ==
The goal of this step was to import academic references into Wikidata, test '''Hypothesis 1''' and explore the advantages of constituting a scholarly corpus on Wikidata in comparison (or in complementarity) to existing tools used by researchers such as reference management softwares and knowledge management softwares. Reference management software (Zenodo, Mendeley…) are used to collect scientific item metadata and integrate them into academic writing. They can also be used to analyze and annotate academic articles and can include export functions making the data interoperable with other analysis tools. Knowledge management software (Obsidian, Zettlr, Room Research, Notion, Logseq, Reflect…) are used by some researchers to organize their ideas but are generally not used as part of a literature review methodology.
=== Database search ===
We conducted preliminary searches in various databases including Web of science, Go Triple, Dimensions and OpenAlex. Web of Science was the database offering the most relevant restults and included the possibility to filter results to display only litterature reviews. Articles metadata were exported (in .ris format) and then imported into the reference manager software Zotero.

=== Article screening ===
Articles abstract were then screened and we selected only articles which were litterature reviews focusing on concepts related to procedural justice as their main topics. We excluded article which were
* Not related to sustainability transition (e.g. sustainable shift in..., hard science papers...)
* Not literature reviews (e.g. review of policies, initiatives, cases, review notes, book review...)
* Not related to procedural justice but to participation into markets, participation in eco-friendly behaviors or included justice consideration only in “future research” suggestions
* Discussing participatory research methodologies (e.g. participatory modelling) without approaching it as an issue of justice, power or democracy
* Discussing procedural justice concepts as key variables or key results without it being the main focus of the paper
The files resulting from this step are available at : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973
=== Importing selected articles into Wikidata ===
To import the selected articles meta-data into Wikidata, we first ran [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 a script] to check if any article was already present in the database. Next we used [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/90acdc3eac4109830db1b3ab855fcb24 another script] that checks the ISSN of the publication in Wikidata and add P-Q-pairs in the extra field of Zotero. Then we exported the articles data using the "export to Wikidata QuickStatements" function of Zotero and use the QuickStatements tool to add them to Wikidata.
Next we used the [[wikidata:Wikidata:Zotero/Cita|Cita]] (V1.0.0-beta.17) Zotero add-on to add articles QID in Zotero. At this point we identified that duplicates had been created in Wikidata (possibly because the initial [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 script] did not work that well because of the recent [[wikidata:Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/WDQS_graph_split|Graph Split]] on Wikidata). We merged duplicates on wikidata using the [[wikidata:Help:Merge|"Merge" gadget]] on Wikidata. We checked manually for duplicated statments in those items.
=== Article classification through meta-data enrichement ===<!-- Add : What is meta-data enrichement -->
Existing review try to classify existing articles according to various criteria such as industry focus, academic discipline, geography of research sites (countries), stakeholder focus (community, consumer, worker...), type of study (case study, theory development) or methodology (quantitative, qualitative, mixt).<ref name=":5" /> We selected the most relevant properties in Wikidata to reflect these classifications : {{Wikidata entity link|P921}} to describe what the article is about, {{Wikidata entity link|P8363}} to describe its main methodology/research design and {{Wikidata entity link|P6153}} to describe its geographical focus.

==== Research site ====
When an article had a specific geographical focus, we used the property {{Wikidata entity link|P6153}} to describe it. For example, the article "{{Wikidata entity link|Q137901202}}" focused on {{Wikidata entity link|Q132959}}.
==== Authors ====
We used the [https://author-disambiguator.toolforge.org/ Author Disambiguator] tool to create Wikidata items for researchers who did not yet have one. This tool helps to minimise errors caused by homonyms among researchers: following a query, it categorises scientific publications into thematic groups. It also automatically searches for [[d:Wikidata:ORCIDator|ORCID]], ResearchGate and VIAF pages.

In addition, we exported the dataset we build on Wikidata and shared it on the open archive Zenodo : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973.
The goal of this step was to test '''Hypothesis 1:''' '''Wikidata can be used to enrich scientific item metadata and build living scientific corpora with rich annotations.'''
==== Advantages of Wikidata ====
==== Limitations of Wikidata ====
Compared to reference management softwares (Zenodo, Mendeley…) and knowledge management softwares (Obsidian, Zettlr, Room Research, Notion, Logseq, Reflect…), Wikidata is too general and des not allow to work on full texts. References and knowledge management softwares allow researcher to build their own specialised knowledge base while wikidata is a generalist database, they allow to take notes and highlight the content of the texts. Wikidata is too general to allow this and finding the corpus of item one is working on require specialisted queries.
Compared to bilbiographic catalogues (OpenAlex, Web Of Science, GoTriple...), Wikidata will never be as exhaustive and do not offer user-friendly search functions. Since 2014, an important amount o bibliographic data was imported in Wikidata with the project [[d:Wikidata:WikiCite|Wikicite]]. At the time of its creation, Wikicite was adressing the issue of closed bibliographic data and was trying to make these data open, many academic items were imported automatically in Wikidata through scraping. This practice was abandoned because the large amont of bibliographic data on wikidata congested queries Wikidata (this led to the decision to split the Wikidata graph between academic and non academic entities), and because new open science initiatives, notably OpenAlex created in 2022, are now taking on the task of creating an exhaustive catalogue of all scholarly production.

==== Wikidata ontology ====
Wikidata "supports multiple coexisting classification" and allow multiple ontological frameworks to coexist.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web|url=https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.12260v1|title=A Multi-Axial Mindset for Ontology Design Lessons from Wikidata's Polyhierarchical Structure|last=Doğan|first=Ege Atacan|last2=Patel-Schneider|first2=Peter F.|date=2025-12-13|website=arXiv.org|language=en|access-date=2026-05-26}}</ref>
It also supports epistemic pluralism : different worldviews can be represented in wikidata, even though scientific knowledge is preferred.<ref name=":8" />

==== Conceptual modelling ====
We first reflected on what kind of wikidata properties could be used to represent concepts and theories in wikidata. Capturing the content of a concept is not straightforward and there are various approaches coming from psychology and philosophy on the matter<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Origin of Concepts|last=Carey|first=Susan|date=2011|publisher=Oxford University Press USA - OSO|isbn=978-0-19-536763-8|series=Oxford Series in Cognitive Development Ser|location=Cary}}</ref> we summarize these approaches below and examine which wikidata properties exist to represent them.
* Definition: the content of a concept can be formed by its decomposition into other concepts. Many Wikidata properties can be relevant to model definitions, for example: {{Wikidata entity link|P1269}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P361}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P527}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1552}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P6477}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}}...
* Categorization: the content of a concept is formed by its illustration by an exemplar (a [[wikipedia:Prototype_theory|prototype]]) that best represent the concept. Apart from the inclusion of images to illustrate an item, Wikidata structure do not highlight exemplars. However, properties signifying relations of categorizations are among the most used with {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} and {{Wikidata entity link|P279}}.
* Theory: the content of a concept is formed by its role in providing explanation of the world. Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships: {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1479}}.
* Essence: the content of a concept is "something" deep explaning the entity's existence and its properties. We can use concepts before knowing what they mean, and this is what allows us to revise our knowledge about it. The idea of essence is well represented by the QID of Wikidata entities: it is independent of language and definitions and we can create it before really knowing what all its properties will be.
* Origin: the content of the concept is determined causally by social and historial factors (e.g. someone inventing the concept and introducing its use in a language community). This can be represented by the property {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}}.
==== Categorization and conceptualisation practices in management sciences ====
In management sciences « systematic categorizing is the best and perhaps only method for clearing up semantic confusion, management scholars never take the classical approaches to categorizing that facilitated tremendous progress in the physical sciences, and seldomly build on extant categorial schemes. »<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Pierce|first=Jason R.|date=2025-01|title=Categorizing Concepts and Phenomena in Management Research: A Four-Phase Integrative Review and Recommendations|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/annals.2023.0052|journal=Academy of Management Annals|language=en|volume=19|issue=1|page=28|pages=9–37|doi=10.5465/annals.2023.0052|issn=1941-6520}}</ref>.
Some scholars discussed how conceptualization should be done<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Podsakoff|first=Philip M.|last2=MacKenzie|first2=Scott B.|last3=Podsakoff|first3=Nathan P.|date=2016-04|title=Recommendations for Creating Better Concept Definitions in the Organizational, Behavioral, and Social Sciences|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428115624965|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=19|issue=2|pages=159–203|doi=10.1177/1094428115624965|issn=1094-4281}}</ref>,<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Makowski|first=Piotr Tomasz|date=2021-10|title=Optimizing Concepts: Conceptual Engineering in the Field of Management—The Case of Routines Research|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/amr.2019.0252|journal=Academy of Management Review|language=en|volume=46|issue=4|pages=702–724|doi=10.5465/amr.2019.0252|issn=0363-7425}}</ref>.
==== Thematic networks ====
[[File:Thematic network example.jpg|thumb|547x547px|Structure of a thematic network (Source: Attride-Stirling 2001)]]
A thematic network is “simply a way of organizing a thematic analysis of qualitative data”<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Attride-Stirling|first=Jennifer|date=2001-12|title=Thematic networks: an analytic tool for qualitative research|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/146879410100100307|journal=Qualitative Research|language=en|volume=1|issue=3|pages=385–405|doi=10.1177/146879410100100307|issn=1468-7941}}</ref>. It is compatible with classical coding strategies such as [[grounded theory]]<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Corbin|first=Juliet|last2=Strauss|first2=Anselm|date=1990-12-01|title=Grounded Theory Research: Procedures, Canons and Evaluative Criteria|url=https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602/html|journal=Zeitschrift für Soziologie|language=en|volume=19|issue=6|pages=418–427|doi=10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602|issn=2366-0325}}</ref>. Thematic networks can be used to visualise the data structure after identifying themes and help structure and interpret the data<ref name=":7" />. The principle is to assemble basic themes into more general themes.
Qualitative researchers usually use {{Wikidata entity link|Q4550939}} and qualitative coding (e.g. grounded theory) to identify themes and sub-themes.
However, the nature of the relationship between these various themes and sub-themes is often not specified.
*
==== Causal networks ====
The use of diagrams to represent causal relationship exist in various research practices. In statistics, researchers sometime present models with boxes and arrows representing correlations and/or causations<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://mirror.vcu.edu/pub/mx/doc/mxmang10.pdf|title=Statistical Modeling|last=Neale|first=Michael C.|last2=Boker|first2=Steven M.|last3=Xie|first3=Gary|last4=Maes|first4=Hermine H.|publisher=Richmond, VA: Department of Psychiatry|year=1999|location=Virginia Commonwealth University}}</ref>. In qualitative research, building grounded theory models is about "[accounting] for not only all the major emergent concepts, themes, and dimensions, but also for their dynamic interrelationships. Speaking in classic boxes-and-arrows terms, this process amounts to assembling the constellation of boxes with a special focus on the arrows."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gioia|first=Dennis A.|last2=Corley|first2=Kevin G.|last3=Hamilton|first3=Aimee L.|date=2013-01|title=Seeking Qualitative Rigor in Inductive Research: Notes on the Gioia Methodology|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428112452151|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=16|issue=1|pages=15–31|doi=10.1177/1094428112452151|issn=1094-4281}}</ref> Researchers relying on system theory also use causal loop diagram where boxes represent variables and arrows represent causal influence (positive or negative), causal relationship can "feedback" (two variables can influence each other)<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4|title=Causal Loop Diagrams|last=Barbrook-Johnson|first=Pete|last2=Penn|first2=Alexandra S.|date=2022|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-031-01833-6|location=Cham|pages=47–59|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4}}</ref>.
Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships:
* {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1479}} : it is difficult to identify single causes for social phenomenons, many factors having an effect on the subject item will likely be contributing factors
== Testing concept modelling on {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} ==
We started by experimenting the modelling of concept by focusing on the concept of {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. We selected a subset of papers which had energy democracy as main topic :
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901202}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901182}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q136447761}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q129652515}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q114306483}}
We read each paper and used them as source to enter statements in the item {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. For example, "Energy democracy is both an ideal and a process"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Droubi|first=Sufyan|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|last3=McCauley|first3=Darren|date=2022-04-01|title=A critical review of energy democracy: A failure to deliver justice?|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137901182|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=86|pages=4|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2021.102444}}</ref>, we thus entered the wikidata statement {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} is an {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q840396}}, using the paper as source. The result of this first step is visible in the archival version of the item (22 May 2026) here https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q14944319&oldid=2495982191.
Ontology challenges:
*{{Wikidata entity link|P31}}: concepts may have a dual nature because they designate at the same time an idea and the entity that this idea represent. Energy democracy is a concept, an ideal, a process and an outcome.
*'''Process versus outcome :''' For material processes, the distinction between process and outcome is rather simple. For example, in Wikidata, {{Wikidata entity link|Q11629}} (practice of applying paint) is different from {{Wikidata entity link|Q3305213}} (visual artwork), and this distinction is based on the criterion "{{Wikidata entity link|Q127270577}}". However, this distinction is less straightforward for social processes that do not have an end. Such processes are ongoing and outcomes cannot be separated as clearly.
* '''Ideal versus reality :''' Concepts do not have goals in themselves, but the reality they represent can have goals. To distinguish goals from the process to reach it, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}} to describe ideals and {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}} to describe processes.
* '''Phenomenon versus theory :''' Wikidata current items are not really suited to model "meta-research" statements. For example, modelling the idea tha the literature on energy democracy is fragmented would require creating an item representing the energy democracy literature, not just energy democracy in general. Similarly, it can be difficult to model the chronological evolution of the definition of an idea (although it could be technically possible). It is hard to represent in Wikidata affirmations related to missing knowlege, propositions of untested hypothesis, critique of existing research or research agenda recommandations
* '''Origin of discourses versus origin of practices :''' To distinguish the causes of the concepts/discourses and the causes of the phenomenon itself, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}} to indicate the origins of the concept or the movements promoting it.
Some of the statements we added may seem contradictory. However, Wikidata supports "because statements essentially point to referenceable sources of information and different sources may provide contradicting information, it's possible to represent a plurality of perspectives on Wikidata"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Statements#Plurality_and_consensus|title=Help:Statements - Wikidata|website=www.wikidata.org|language=en|access-date=2026-06-08}}</ref>. The {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} concept could be split into more precise concepts to distinguish the social movement advocating for it, the political concept theorizing it and the concrete initiatives implementing it. However, the current sources do not make this distinction for now.
Other challenges
* Wikidata does not seem to be the best tool to model quantitative statements, for example, the paper {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}} states that "9.8% of the final energy consumed in developing countries comes from modern renewable energy sources". Including energy data in Wikidata require using or creating specific properties (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|P6826}})
* When concepts are not precisely defined, statements cannot be modelled correctly. For example, in the sentence "management of social affairs by voluntary and self-governing associations is deemed to ensure that both citizen choice and public welfare are best served"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Veelen|first=Bregje van|last2=Horst|first2=Dan van der|date=2018-12-01|title=What is energy democracy? Connecting social science energy research and political theory|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129652515|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|language=English|volume=46|pages=19–28|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2018.06.010}}</ref>, "choice" could refer to {{Wikidata entity link|Q111986453}}, {{Wikidata entity link|Q1331926}}, or {{Wikidata entity link|Q12888920}} as "choice" can refer to the availability of different options, or the decision process to chose among them.
Advantages :
* Link toward unique identifiers for concepts, but also laws (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|Q139764294}})
== Interactions with the Wikidata community ==
* Some Wikidata contributors added labels for {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} in other languages such as Armenian or Slovenian.
== Data visualisation ==
=== Filter statements ===
* Visualize only statements using a specitic source. Example : https://w.wiki/PFqH
* Visualize only items which are part to the present project (require that all items of the project include the statement {{Wikidata entity link|P6104}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q134545539}}).

== Introduction ==
Just sustainability transition refers to the process of shifting towards sustainable practices in a way that is equitable and inclusive. It includes dimensions of procedural, recognition, distributive and reparative justice and the concept is related to climate justice, environmental justice and energy justice<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2|title=What is the “Just Transition”?|last=Heffron|first=Raphael J.|date=2021|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-030-89460-3|editor-last=Heffron|editor-first=Raphael J.|location=Cham|pages=9–19|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=McCauley|first=Darren|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|date=2018-08-01|title=Just transition: Integrating climate, energy and environmental justice|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421518302301|journal=Energy Policy|volume=119|pages=1–7|doi=10.1016/j.enpol.2018.04.014|issn=0301-4215}}</ref>. The study of sustainability transitions in social sciences requires dynamic and adaptive research synthesis methods. Sustainability transitions involve complex, multi-level processes influenced by technological, economic, social, and policy factors<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2020-03-01|title=Micro-foundations of the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions: Developing a multi-dimensional model of agency through crossovers between social constructivism, evolutionary economics and neo-institutional theory|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040162518316111|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=152|pages=119894|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2019.119894|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|date=2023-08-01|title=A socio-technical transition perspective on positive tipping points in climate change mitigation: Analysing seven interacting feedback loops in offshore wind and electric vehicles acceleration|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040162523003244|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=193|pages=122639|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2023.122639|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sovacool|first=Benjamin K.|last2=Geels|first2=Frank W.|last3=Andersen|first3=Allan Dahl|last4=Grubb|first4=Michael|last5=Jordan|first5=Andrew J.|last6=Kern|first6=Florian|last7=Kivimaa|first7=Paula|last8=Lockwood|first8=Matthew|last9=Markard|first9=Jochen|date=2025-03-01|title=The acceleration of low-carbon transitions: Insights, concepts, challenges, and new directions for research|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214629625000295|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=121|pages=103948|doi=10.1016/j.erss.2025.103948|issn=2214-6296}}</ref>. Given the rapidly evolving nature of sustainability-related research, static literature reviews often become outdated, limiting their usefulness for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners. A living literature review – continuously updated with new findings – ensures that emerging insights, case studies, and theoretical developments are integrated cumulatively into the knowledge base. Developing such review will answer the call for more evidence-based practices in management sciences<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kepes|first=Sven|last2=Bennett|first2=Andrew A.|last3=McDaniel|first3=Michael A.|date=2014-09|title=Evidence-Based Management and the Trustworthiness of Our Cumulative Scientific Knowledge: Implications for Teaching, Research, and Practice|url=https://journals.aom.org/doi/10.5465/amle.2013.0193|journal=Academy of Management Learning & Education|volume=13|issue=3|pages=446–466|doi=10.5465/amle.2013.0193|issn=1537-260X}}</ref><ref>Pfeffer, J., & Sutton, R. I. (2006). Evidence-Based Management. Harvard Business Review, 13. </ref>. Our project assesses the potential of Wikidata to build living review workflow on sustainability transition. We address three issues encountered by scientists: information overload, knowledge synthesis and results dissemination.
==== The problem of academic information overload ====
Global scientific output doubles every nine years<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blogs.nature.com/news/2014/05/global-scientific-output-doubles-every-nine-years.html|title=Global scientific output doubles every nine years : News blog|website=blogs.nature.com|language=en-US|access-date=2026-06-23}}</ref>, pushed by the “publish or perish” model incentivizing researchers to increase the quantity of research outputs. Researchers are subject to information overload as the number of publications to read is beyond what a human brain can handle, they are expected to produce high-quality research under an increasing time pressure. This intensification of academic work is being denounced as detrimental to the deep cognitive process needed to actually produce interesting knowledge<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hartman|first=Yvonne|last2=Darab|first2=Sandy|date=2012-01-01|title=A Call for Slow Scholarship: A Case Study on the Intensification of Academic Life and Its Implications for Pedagogy|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|journal=Review of Education, Pedagogy, and Cultural Studies|volume=34|issue=1-2|pages=49–60|doi=10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|issn=1071-4413}}</ref>. “Wikifying science” may in this context contribute to facilitating researcher’s work while preserving scientific quality. That is why in this project, we aim to build a searchable academic publication database with enriched meta-data that will allow scholars to navigate the existing publications corpus related to just sustainability transition more easily.
==== The problem of knowledge synthesis ====
The volume of academic production is rendering knowledge synthesis difficult. Scholars have thus called for making literature reviews cumulative and updatable<ref>{{Citation|title=Day 2 {{!}} Arnaud Vaganay: Reproducible Literature Reviews|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nspd_1cx9kc|date=2017-10-19|accessdate=2026-06-23|last=Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences (BITSS)}}</ref> and for shifting from static text format publications to dynamic knowledge mapping<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2019/05/14/the-death-of-the-literature-review-and-the-rise-of-the-dynamic-knowledge-map/|title=The death of the literature review and the rise of the dynamic knowledge map - LSE Impact|last=Taster|date=2019-05-14|website=LSE Impact - Understanding impact and practice in academic research|access-date=2026-06-23}}</ref>.

While such reviews method exist for quantitative research producing standardized results, they are not adapted to synthetize social science studies on sustainability transitions that involve diverse methodologies and various disciplinary perspectives. The goal of the project is to propose a demonstration of a living review method for social science findings on just sustainability transition, relying on the collaborative model and tools of Wikimedia projects notably Wikidata, Wikiversity and Wikipedia.
==== The problem of scientific results dissemination ====
There is urgent need to disseminate knowledge on impactful topics like sustainability transition while proprietary publication models, disinformation and censorship (e.g. US) is threatening access to free and reliable knowledge. In parallel, social scientists struggle to make their work impactful<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haley|first=Usha C.

Our project proposes to improve expert contribution by making wikimedia projects (notably wikidata) useful tools that can facilitate research work, in addition to a key knowledge dissemination platform that is not country or institution-dependent. We propose to approach Wikimedia projects as a powerful (and free) knowledge management infrastructure that researchers could use. The Wikimedia ecosystem offers solutions that have strong potential to put open science principles into practices, including [[wikipedia:FAIR_data|FAIR]] principles and [[wikipedia:Linked_data#Linked_open_data|linked open data]].

== Methodology ==
Our study rely on a meta-review, that is a review of existing literature reviews. Data presented in literature reviews are usually presented as tables or diagrams, and sometimes provided as supplementary materials in publications. However, these data are not made interoperable and are not used to update prior literature reviews. Our goal will be to synthesize results of previous literature reviews by making their findings compatible with linked open data and open science standards using Wikidata, Wikiversity, Wikipedia and other open-science infrastructures. We collected and enriched bibliographic data and extracted research result data to build a knowledge graph, we then experimented relevant visualization of this graph and are writing our report on this Wikiversity page, including links to our knowledge graph, experimenting a scientific writing compatible with the linked open data ideal.

== Building a corpus and enriching bibliographic metadata ==
The goal of this step was to import academic references into Wikidata, test '''Hypothesis 1''' and explore the advantages of constituting a scholarly corpus on Wikidata in comparison (or in complementarity) to existing tools used by researchers such as reference management softwares and knowledge management softwares. Reference management software (Zenodo, Mendeley…) are used to collect scientific item metadata and integrate them into academic writing. They can also be used to analyze and annotate academic articles and can include export functions making the data interoperable with other analysis tools. Knowledge management software (Obsidian, Zettlr, Room Research, Notion, Logseq, Reflect…) are used by some researchers to organize their ideas but are generally not used as part of a literature review methodology.
=== Database search ===
We conducted preliminary searches in various databases including Web of science, Go Triple, Dimensions and OpenAlex. Web of Science was the database offering the most relevant restults and included the possibility to filter results to display only litterature reviews. Articles metadata were exported (in .ris format) and then imported into the reference manager software Zotero.

=== Article screening ===
Articles abstract were then screened and we selected only articles which were litterature reviews focusing on concepts related to procedural justice as their main topics. We excluded article which were
* Not related to sustainability transition (e.g. sustainable shift in..., hard science papers...)
* Not literature reviews (e.g. review of policies, initiatives, cases, review notes, book review...)
* Not related to procedural justice but to participation into markets, participation in eco-friendly behaviors or included justice consideration only in “future research” suggestions
* Discussing participatory research methodologies (e.g. participatory modelling) without approaching it as an issue of justice, power or democracy
* Discussing procedural justice concepts as key variables or key results without it being the main focus of the paper
The files resulting from this step are available at : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973
=== Importing selected articles into Wikidata ===
To import the selected articles meta-data into Wikidata, we first ran [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 a script] to check if any article was already present in the database. Next we used [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/90acdc3eac4109830db1b3ab855fcb24 another script] that checks the ISSN of the publication in Wikidata and add P-Q-pairs in the extra field of Zotero. Then we exported the articles data using the "export to Wikidata QuickStatements" function of Zotero and use the QuickStatements tool to add them to Wikidata.
Next we used the [[wikidata:Wikidata:Zotero/Cita|Cita]] (V1.0.0-beta.17) Zotero add-on to add articles QID in Zotero. At this point we identified that duplicates had been created in Wikidata (possibly because the initial [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 script] did not work that well because of the recent [[wikidata:Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/WDQS_graph_split|Graph Split]] on Wikidata). We merged duplicates on wikidata using the [[wikidata:Help:Merge|"Merge" gadget]] on Wikidata. We checked manually for duplicated statments in those items.
=== Article classification through meta-data enrichement ===<!-- Add : What is meta-data enrichement -->
Existing review try to classify existing articles according to various criteria such as industry focus, academic discipline, geography of research sites (countries), stakeholder focus (community, consumer, worker...), type of study (case study, theory development) or methodology (quantitative, qualitative, mixt).<ref name=":5" /> We selected the most relevant properties in Wikidata to reflect these classifications : {{Wikidata entity link|P921}} to describe what the article is about, {{Wikidata entity link|P8363}} to describe its main methodology/research design and {{Wikidata entity link|P6153}} to describe its geographical focus.

==== Research site ====
When an article had a specific geographical focus, we used the property {{Wikidata entity link|P6153}} to describe it. For example, the article "{{Wikidata entity link|Q137901202}}" focused on {{Wikidata entity link|Q132959}}.
==== Authors ====
We used the [https://author-disambiguator.toolforge.org/ Author Disambiguator] tool to create Wikidata items for researchers who did not yet have one. This tool helps to minimise errors caused by homonyms among researchers: following a query, it categorises scientific publications into thematic groups. It also automatically searches for [[d:Wikidata:ORCIDator|ORCID]], ResearchGate and VIAF pages.

In addition, we exported the dataset we build on Wikidata and shared it on the open archive Zenodo : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973.
The goal of this step was to test '''Hypothesis 1:''' '''Wikidata can be used to enrich scientific item metadata and build living scientific corpora with rich annotations.'''
==== Advantages of Wikidata ====
Key advantages of Wikidata are its flexible and collaborative ontology as well as its interoperability.
==== Limitations of Wikidata ====
Compared to reference management softwares (Zenodo, Mendeley…) and knowledge management softwares (Obsidian, Zettlr, Room Research, Notion, Logseq, Reflect…), Wikidata is too general and des not allow to work on full texts. References and knowledge management softwares allow researcher to build their own specialised knowledge base while wikidata is a generalist database, they allow to take notes and highlight the content of the texts. Wikidata is too general to allow this and finding the corpus of item one is working on require specialised queries.
Compared to bilbiographic catalogues (OpenAlex, Web Of Science, GoTriple...), Wikidata will never be as exhaustive and do not offer user-friendly search functions. Since 2014, an important amount o bibliographic data was imported in Wikidata with the project [[d:Wikidata:WikiCite|Wikicite]]. At the time of its creation, Wikicite was adressing the issue of closed bibliographic data and was trying to make these data open, many academic items were imported automatically in Wikidata through scraping. This practice was abandoned because the large amont of bibliographic data on wikidata congested queries Wikidata (this led to the decision to split the Wikidata graph between academic and non academic entities), and because new open science initiatives, notably OpenAlex (2022), are now taking on the task of creating a exhaustive catalogues of all scholarly production.

In the present study, we explored how concept map can be used to model the knowledge present in the paper we selected.

==== Wikidata ontology ====
Wikidata "supports multiple coexisting classification" and allow multiple ontological frameworks to coexist.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web|url=https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.12260v1|title=A Multi-Axial Mindset for Ontology Design Lessons from Wikidata's Polyhierarchical Structure|last=Doğan|first=Ege Atacan|last2=Patel-Schneider|first2=Peter F.|date=2025-12-13|website=arXiv.org|language=en|access-date=2026-05-26}}</ref>
It also supports epistemic pluralism : different worldviews can be represented in wikidata, even though scientific knowledge is preferred.<ref name=":8" />

See the discussion on cause modelling : https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Modeling_causes/en
==== Conceptual modelling ====
We first reflected on what kind of wikidata properties could be used to represent concepts and theories in wikidata. Capturing the content of a concept is not straightforward and there are various approaches coming from psychology and philosophy on the matter<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Origin of Concepts|last=Carey|first=Susan|date=2011|publisher=Oxford University Press USA - OSO|isbn=978-0-19-536763-8|series=Oxford Series in Cognitive Development Ser|location=Cary}}</ref> we summarize these approaches below and examine which wikidata properties exist to represent them.
* Definition: the content of a concept can be formed by its decomposition into other concepts. Many Wikidata properties can be relevant to model definitions, for example: {{Wikidata entity link|P1269}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P361}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P527}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1552}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P6477}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}}...
* Categorization: the content of a concept is formed by its illustration by an exemplar (a [[wikipedia:Prototype_theory|prototype]]) that best represent the concept. Apart from the inclusion of images to illustrate an item, Wikidata structure do not highlight exemplars. However, properties signifying relations of categorizations are among the most used with {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} and {{Wikidata entity link|P279}}.
* Theory: the content of a concept is formed by its role in providing explanation of the world. Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships: {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1479}}.
* Essence: the content of a concept is "something" deep explaning the entity's existence and its properties. We can use concepts before knowing what they mean, and this is what allows us to revise our knowledge about it. The idea of essence is well represented by the QID of Wikidata entities: it is independent of language and definitions and we can create it before really knowing what all its properties will be.
* Origin: the content of the concept is determined causally by social and historial factors (e.g. someone inventing the concept and introducing its use in a language community). This can be represented by the property {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}}.
==== Categorization and conceptualisation practices in management sciences ====
In management sciences « systematic categorizing is the best and perhaps only method for clearing up semantic confusion, management scholars never take the classical approaches to categorizing that facilitated tremendous progress in the physical sciences, and seldomly build on extant categorial schemes. »<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Pierce|first=Jason R.|date=2025-01|title=Categorizing Concepts and Phenomena in Management Research: A Four-Phase Integrative Review and Recommendations|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/annals.2023.0052|journal=Academy of Management Annals|language=en|volume=19|issue=1|page=28|pages=9–37|doi=10.5465/annals.2023.0052|issn=1941-6520}}</ref>.
Some scholars discussed how conceptualization should be done<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Podsakoff|first=Philip M.|last2=MacKenzie|first2=Scott B.|last3=Podsakoff|first3=Nathan P.|date=2016-04|title=Recommendations for Creating Better Concept Definitions in the Organizational, Behavioral, and Social Sciences|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428115624965|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=19|issue=2|pages=159–203|doi=10.1177/1094428115624965|issn=1094-4281}}</ref>,<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Makowski|first=Piotr Tomasz|date=2021-10|title=Optimizing Concepts: Conceptual Engineering in the Field of Management—The Case of Routines Research|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/amr.2019.0252|journal=Academy of Management Review|language=en|volume=46|issue=4|pages=702–724|doi=10.5465/amr.2019.0252|issn=0363-7425}}</ref>.
==== Thematic networks ====
[[File:Thematic network example.jpg|thumb|547x547px|Structure of a thematic network (Source: Attride-Stirling 2001)]]
A thematic network is “simply a way of organizing a thematic analysis of qualitative data”<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Attride-Stirling|first=Jennifer|date=2001-12|title=Thematic networks: an analytic tool for qualitative research|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/146879410100100307|journal=Qualitative Research|language=en|volume=1|issue=3|pages=385–405|doi=10.1177/146879410100100307|issn=1468-7941}}</ref>. It is compatible with classical coding strategies such as [[grounded theory]]<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Corbin|first=Juliet|last2=Strauss|first2=Anselm|date=1990-12-01|title=Grounded Theory Research: Procedures, Canons and Evaluative Criteria|url=https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602/html|journal=Zeitschrift für Soziologie|language=en|volume=19|issue=6|pages=418–427|doi=10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602|issn=2366-0325}}</ref>. Thematic networks can be used to visualise the data structure after identifying themes and help structure and interpret the data<ref name=":7" />. The principle is to assemble basic themes into more general themes.
Qualitative researchers usually use {{Wikidata entity link|Q4550939}} and qualitative coding (e.g. grounded theory) to identify themes and sub-themes.
However, the nature of the relationship between these various themes and sub-themes is often not specified.
*
==== Causal networks ====
The use of diagrams to represent causal relationship exist in various research practices. In statistics, researchers sometime present models with boxes and arrows representing correlations and/or causations<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://mirror.vcu.edu/pub/mx/doc/mxmang10.pdf|title=Statistical Modeling|last=Neale|first=Michael C.|last2=Boker|first2=Steven M.|last3=Xie|first3=Gary|last4=Maes|first4=Hermine H.|publisher=Richmond, VA: Department of Psychiatry|year=1999|location=Virginia Commonwealth University}}</ref>. In qualitative research, building grounded theory models is about "[accounting] for not only all the major emergent concepts, themes, and dimensions, but also for their dynamic interrelationships. Speaking in classic boxes-and-arrows terms, this process amounts to assembling the constellation of boxes with a special focus on the arrows."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gioia|first=Dennis A.|last2=Corley|first2=Kevin G.|last3=Hamilton|first3=Aimee L.|date=2013-01|title=Seeking Qualitative Rigor in Inductive Research: Notes on the Gioia Methodology|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428112452151|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=16|issue=1|pages=15–31|doi=10.1177/1094428112452151|issn=1094-4281}}</ref> Researchers relying on system theory also use causal loop diagram where boxes represent variables and arrows represent causal influence (positive or negative), causal relationship can "feedback" (two variables can influence each other)<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4|title=Causal Loop Diagrams|last=Barbrook-Johnson|first=Pete|last2=Penn|first2=Alexandra S.|date=2022|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-031-01833-6|location=Cham|pages=47–59|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4}}</ref>.
Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships:
* {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1479}} : it is difficult to identify single causes for social phenomenons, many factors having an effect on the subject item will likely be contributing factors
== Testing concept modelling on {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} ==
We started by experimenting the modelling of concept by focusing on the concept of {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. We selected a subset of papers which had energy democracy as main topic :
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901202}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901182}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q136447761}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q129652515}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q114306483}}
We read each paper and used them as source to enter statements in the item {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. For example, "Energy democracy is both an ideal and a process"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Droubi|first=Sufyan|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|last3=McCauley|first3=Darren|date=2022-04-01|title=A critical review of energy democracy: A failure to deliver justice?|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137901182|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=86|pages=4|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2021.102444}}</ref>, we thus entered the wikidata statement {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} is an {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q840396}}, using the paper as source. The result of this first step is visible in the archival version of the item (22 May 2026) here https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q14944319&oldid=2495982191.
Ontology challenges:
*{{Wikidata entity link|P31}}: concepts may have a dual nature because they designate at the same time an idea and the entity that this idea represent. Energy democracy is a concept, an ideal, a process and an outcome.
*'''Process versus outcome :''' For material processes, the distinction between process and outcome is rather simple. For example, in Wikidata, {{Wikidata entity link|Q11629}} (practice of applying paint) is different from {{Wikidata entity link|Q3305213}} (visual artwork), and this distinction is based on the criterion "{{Wikidata entity link|Q127270577}}". However, this distinction is less straightforward for social processes that do not have an end. Such processes are ongoing and outcomes cannot be separated as clearly.
* '''Ideal versus reality :''' Concepts do not have goals in themselves, but the reality they represent can have goals. To distinguish goals from the process to reach it, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}} to describe ideals and {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}} to describe processes.
* '''Phenomenon versus theory :''' Wikidata current items are not really suited to model "meta-research" statements. For example, modelling the idea tha the literature on energy democracy is fragmented would require creating an item representing the energy democracy literature, not just energy democracy in general. Similarly, it can be difficult to model the chronological evolution of the definition of an idea (although it could be technically possible). It is hard to represent in Wikidata affirmations related to missing knowlege, propositions of untested hypothesis, critique of existing research or research agenda recommandations
* '''Origin of discourses versus origin of practices :''' To distinguish the causes of the concepts/discourses and the causes of the phenomenon itself, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}} to indicate the origins of the concept or the movements promoting it.
Some of the statements we added may seem contradictory. However, Wikidata supports "because statements essentially point to referenceable sources of information and different sources may provide contradicting information, it's possible to represent a plurality of perspectives on Wikidata"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Statements#Plurality_and_consensus|title=Help:Statements - Wikidata|website=www.wikidata.org|language=en|access-date=2026-06-08}}</ref>. The {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} concept could be split into more precise concepts to distinguish the social movement advocating for it, the political concept theorizing it and the concrete initiatives implementing it. However, the current sources do not make this distinction for now.
Other challenges
* Wikidata does not seem to be the best tool to model quantitative statements, for example, the paper {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}} states that "9.8% of the final energy consumed in developing countries comes from modern renewable energy sources". Including energy data in Wikidata require using or creating specific properties (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|P6826}})
* When concepts are not precisely defined, statements cannot be modelled correctly. For example, in the sentence "management of social affairs by voluntary and self-governing associations is deemed to ensure that both citizen choice and public welfare are best served"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Veelen|first=Bregje van|last2=Horst|first2=Dan van der|date=2018-12-01|title=What is energy democracy? Connecting social science energy research and political theory|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129652515|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|language=English|volume=46|pages=19–28|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2018.06.010}}</ref>, "choice" could refer to {{Wikidata entity link|Q111986453}}, {{Wikidata entity link|Q1331926}}, or {{Wikidata entity link|Q12888920}} as "choice" can refer to the availability of different options, or the decision process to chose among them.
Advantages :
* Link toward unique identifiers for concepts, but also laws (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|Q139764294}})
== Interactions with the Wikidata community ==
* Some Wikidata contributors added labels for {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} in other languages such as Armenian or Slovenian.
== Data visualisation ==
=== Filter statements ===
* Visualize only statements using a specitic source. Example : https://w.wiki/PFqH
* Visualize only items which are part to the present project (require that all items of the project include the statement {{Wikidata entity link|P6104}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q134545539}}).

== Introduction ==
Just sustainability transition refers to the process of shifting towards sustainable practices in a way that is equitable and inclusive. It includes dimensions of procedural, recognition, distributive and reparative justice and the concept is related to climate justice, environmental justice and energy justice<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2|title=What is the “Just Transition”?|last=Heffron|first=Raphael J.|date=2021|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-030-89460-3|editor-last=Heffron|editor-first=Raphael J.|location=Cham|pages=9–19|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-030-89460-3_2}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=McCauley|first=Darren|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|date=2018-08-01|title=Just transition: Integrating climate, energy and environmental justice|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0301421518302301|journal=Energy Policy|volume=119|pages=1–7|doi=10.1016/j.enpol.2018.04.014|issn=0301-4215}}</ref>. The study of sustainability transitions in social sciences requires dynamic and adaptive research synthesis methods. Sustainability transitions involve complex, multi-level processes influenced by technological, economic, social, and policy factors<ref>{{Cite journal|date=2020-03-01|title=Micro-foundations of the multi-level perspective on socio-technical transitions: Developing a multi-dimensional model of agency through crossovers between social constructivism, evolutionary economics and neo-institutional theory|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040162518316111|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=152|pages=119894|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2019.119894|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|date=2023-08-01|title=A socio-technical transition perspective on positive tipping points in climate change mitigation: Analysing seven interacting feedback loops in offshore wind and electric vehicles acceleration|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0040162523003244|journal=Technological Forecasting and Social Change|language=en-US|volume=193|pages=122639|doi=10.1016/j.techfore.2023.122639|issn=0040-1625}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Sovacool|first=Benjamin K.|last2=Geels|first2=Frank W.|last3=Andersen|first3=Allan Dahl|last4=Grubb|first4=Michael|last5=Jordan|first5=Andrew J.|last6=Kern|first6=Florian|last7=Kivimaa|first7=Paula|last8=Lockwood|first8=Matthew|last9=Markard|first9=Jochen|date=2025-03-01|title=The acceleration of low-carbon transitions: Insights, concepts, challenges, and new directions for research|url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214629625000295|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=121|pages=103948|doi=10.1016/j.erss.2025.103948|issn=2214-6296}}</ref>. Given the rapidly evolving nature of sustainability-related research, static literature reviews often become outdated, limiting their usefulness for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners. A living literature review – continuously updated with new findings – ensures that emerging insights, case studies, and theoretical developments are integrated cumulatively into the knowledge base. Developing such review will answer the call for more evidence-based practices in management sciences<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Kepes|first=Sven|last2=Bennett|first2=Andrew A.|last3=McDaniel|first3=Michael A.|date=2014-09|title=Evidence-Based Management and the Trustworthiness of Our Cumulative Scientific Knowledge: Implications for Teaching, Research, and Practice|url=https://journals.aom.org/doi/10.5465/amle.2013.0193|journal=Academy of Management Learning & Education|volume=13|issue=3|pages=446–466|doi=10.5465/amle.2013.0193|issn=1537-260X}}</ref><ref>Pfeffer, J., & Sutton, R. I. (2006). Evidence-Based Management. Harvard Business Review, 13. </ref>. Our project assesses the potential of Wikidata to build living review workflow on sustainability transition. We address three issues encountered by scientists: information overload, knowledge synthesis and results dissemination.
==== The problem of academic information overload ====
Global scientific output doubles every nine years<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://blogs.nature.com/news/2014/05/global-scientific-output-doubles-every-nine-years.html|title=Global scientific output doubles every nine years : News blog|website=blogs.nature.com|language=en-US|access-date=2026-06-23}}</ref>, pushed by the “publish or perish” model incentivizing researchers to increase the quantity of research outputs. Researchers are subject to information overload as the number of publications to read is beyond what a human brain can handle, they are expected to produce high-quality research under an increasing time pressure. This intensification of academic work is being denounced as detrimental to the deep cognitive process needed to actually produce interesting knowledge<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Hartman|first=Yvonne|last2=Darab|first2=Sandy|date=2012-01-01|title=A Call for Slow Scholarship: A Case Study on the Intensification of Academic Life and Its Implications for Pedagogy|url=https://doi.org/10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|journal=Review of Education, Pedagogy, and Cultural Studies|volume=34|issue=1-2|pages=49–60|doi=10.1080/10714413.2012.643740|issn=1071-4413}}</ref>. “Wikifying science” may in this context contribute to facilitating researcher’s work while preserving scientific quality. That is why in this project, we aim to build a searchable academic publication database with enriched meta-data that will allow scholars to navigate the existing publications corpus related to just sustainability transition more easily.
==== The problem of knowledge synthesis ====
The volume of academic production is rendering knowledge synthesis difficult. Scholars have thus called for making literature reviews cumulative and updatable<ref>{{Citation|title=Day 2 {{!}} Arnaud Vaganay: Reproducible Literature Reviews|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nspd_1cx9kc|date=2017-10-19|accessdate=2026-06-23|last=Berkeley Initiative for Transparency in the Social Sciences (BITSS)}}</ref> and for shifting from static text format publications to dynamic knowledge mapping<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsocialsciences/2019/05/14/the-death-of-the-literature-review-and-the-rise-of-the-dynamic-knowledge-map/|title=The death of the literature review and the rise of the dynamic knowledge map - LSE Impact|last=Taster|date=2019-05-14|website=LSE Impact - Understanding impact and practice in academic research|access-date=2026-06-23}}</ref>.

While such reviews method exist for quantitative research producing standardized results, they are not adapted to synthetize social science studies on sustainability transitions that involve diverse methodologies and various disciplinary perspectives. The goal of the project is to propose a demonstration of a living review method for social science findings on just sustainability transition, relying on the collaborative model and tools of Wikimedia projects notably Wikidata, Wikiversity and Wikipedia.
==== The problem of scientific results dissemination ====
There is urgent need to disseminate knowledge on impactful topics like sustainability transition while proprietary publication models, disinformation and censorship (e.g. US) is threatening access to free and reliable knowledge. In parallel, social scientists struggle to make their work impactful<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Haley|first=Usha C.

Our project proposes to improve expert contribution by making wikimedia projects (notably wikidata) useful tools that can facilitate research work, in addition to a key knowledge dissemination platform that is not country or institution-dependent. We propose to approach Wikimedia projects as a powerful (and free) knowledge management infrastructure that researchers could use. The Wikimedia ecosystem offers solutions that have strong potential to put open science principles into practices, including [[wikipedia:FAIR_data|FAIR]] principles and [[wikipedia:Linked_data#Linked_open_data|linked open data]].

== Methodology ==
Our study rely on a meta-review, that is a review of existing literature reviews. Data presented in literature reviews are usually presented as tables or diagrams, and sometimes provided as supplementary materials in publications. However, these data are not made interoperable and are not used to update prior literature reviews. Our goal will be to synthesize results of previous literature reviews by making their findings compatible with linked open data and open science standards using Wikidata, Wikiversity, Wikipedia and other open-science infrastructures. We collected and enriched bibliographic data and extracted research result data to build a knowledge graph, we then experimented relevant visualization of this graph and are writing our report on this Wikiversity page, including links to our knowledge graph, experimenting a scientific writing compatible with the linked open data ideal.

== Building a corpus and enriching bibliographic metadata ==
The goal of this step was to import academic references into Wikidata, test '''Hypothesis 1''' and explore the advantages of constituting a scholarly corpus on Wikidata in comparison (or in complementarity) to existing tools used by researchers such as reference management softwares and knowledge management softwares. Reference management software (Zenodo, Mendeley…) are used to collect scientific item metadata and integrate them into academic writing. They can also be used to analyze and annotate academic articles and can include export functions making the data interoperable with other analysis tools. Knowledge management software (Obsidian, Zettlr, Room Research, Notion, Logseq, Reflect…) are used by some researchers to organize their ideas but are generally not used as part of a literature review methodology.
=== Database search ===
We conducted preliminary searches in various databases including Web of science, Go Triple, Dimensions and OpenAlex. Web of Science was the database offering the most relevant restults and included the possibility to filter results to display only litterature reviews. Articles metadata were exported (in .ris format) and then imported into the reference manager software Zotero.

=== Article screening ===
Articles abstract were then screened and we selected only articles which were litterature reviews focusing on concepts related to procedural justice as their main topics. We excluded article which were
* Not related to sustainability transition (e.g. sustainable shift in..., hard science papers...)
* Not literature reviews (e.g. review of policies, initiatives, cases, review notes, book review...)
* Not related to procedural justice but to participation into markets, participation in eco-friendly behaviors or included justice consideration only in “future research” suggestions
* Discussing participatory research methodologies (e.g. participatory modelling) without approaching it as an issue of justice, power or democracy
* Discussing procedural justice concepts as key variables or key results without it being the main focus of the paper
The files resulting from this step are available at : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973
=== Importing selected articles into Wikidata ===
To import the selected articles meta-data into Wikidata, we first ran [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 a script] to check if any article was already present in the database. Next we used [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/90acdc3eac4109830db1b3ab855fcb24 another script] that checks the ISSN of the publication in Wikidata and add P-Q-pairs in the extra field of Zotero. Then we exported the articles data using the "export to Wikidata QuickStatements" function of Zotero and use the QuickStatements tool to add them to Wikidata.
Next we used the [[wikidata:Wikidata:Zotero/Cita|Cita]] (V1.0.0-beta.17) Zotero add-on to add articles QID in Zotero. At this point we identified that duplicates had been created in Wikidata (possibly because the initial [https://gist.github.com/zuphilip/aa9f59271fcb0807fb20c7d0110d26e4 script] did not work that well because of the recent [[wikidata:Wikidata:SPARQL_query_service/WDQS_graph_split|Graph Split]] on Wikidata). We merged duplicates on wikidata using the [[wikidata:Help:Merge|"Merge" gadget]] on Wikidata. We checked manually for duplicated statments in those items.
=== Article classification through meta-data enrichement ===<!-- Add : What is meta-data enrichement -->
Existing review try to classify existing articles according to various criteria such as industry focus, academic discipline, geography of research sites (countries), stakeholder focus (community, consumer, worker...), type of study (case study, theory development) or methodology (quantitative, qualitative, mixt).<ref name=":5" /> We selected the most relevant properties in Wikidata to reflect these classifications : {{Wikidata entity link|P921}} to describe what the article is about, {{Wikidata entity link|P8363}} to describe its main methodology/research design and {{Wikidata entity link|P6153}} to describe its geographical focus.

Then, for each article, we inferred what the {{Wikidata entity link|P921}} was from the abstracts and author provided keywords.
==== Study types ====
Our review included only litterature reviews. We first read abstracts to identify all the [https://angryloki.github.io/wikidata-graph-builder/?item=Q2412849&property=P279&mode=reverse different types of litterature reviews] present in the corpus and created wikidata items which did not exist, for example {{Wikidata entity link|Q137209848}} and {{Wikidata entity link|Q137174203}}. We improved these method items using the methodological references cited in the reviewed papers. The types of reviews were :

|}Then, we added the {{Wikidata entity link|P8363}} of each articles based on the abstract and method sections. In case of doubt, we compared our interpretation.
==== Research site ====
When an article had a specific geographical focus, we used the property {{Wikidata entity link|P6153}} to describe it. For example, the article "{{Wikidata entity link|Q137901202}}" focused on {{Wikidata entity link|Q132959}}.
==== Authors ====
We used the [https://author-disambiguator.toolforge.org/ Author Disambiguator] tool to create Wikidata items for researchers who did not yet have one. This tool helps to minimise errors caused by homonyms among researchers: following a query, it categorises scientific publications into thematic groups. It also automatically searches for [[d:Wikidata:ORCIDator|ORCID]], ResearchGate and VIAF pages.

In addition, we exported the dataset we build on Wikidata and shared it on the open archive Zenodo : https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20749973.
The goal of this step was to test '''Hypothesis 1:''' '''Wikidata can be used to enrich scientific item metadata and build living scientific corpora with rich annotations.'''
==== Advantages of Wikidata ====
Key advantages of Wikidata are its flexible and collaborative ontology as well as its interoperability.
A notable advantage is that Wikidata items can be used as an interoperable [[wikipedia:Controlled_vocabulary|controlled vocabulary]]. For example, when we stated that the article {{Wikidata entity link|Q114306483}} {{Wikidata entity link|P921}} was {{Wikidata entity link|Q795757}}, "energy transition" was not just a word but a concept with its unique identifyer, linked to identifiers in other databases such as the Google Knowledge Graph ID or BNCF Thesaurus ID. Contrary to institutional Thesaurus, Wikidata allows anyone to add new concepts. This is particularly interesting as existing controlled vocabularies rarely reflect the degree of precision that researchers need in their work.
The same observation is valid for the addition of properties. Wikidata allows to enter more detail about each academic articles.
==== Limitations of Wikidata ====
Compared to reference management softwares (Zenodo, Mendeley…) and knowledge management softwares (Obsidian, Zettlr, Room Research, Notion, Logseq, Reflect…), Wikidata is too general and des not allow to work on full texts. References and knowledge management softwares allow researcher to build their own specialised knowledge base while wikidata is a generalist database, they allow to take notes and highlight the content of the texts. Wikidata is too general to allow this and finding the corpus of item one is working on require specialised queries.
Compared to bilbiographic catalogues (OpenAlex, Web Of Science, GoTriple...), Wikidata will never be as exhaustive and do not offer user-friendly search functions. Since 2014, an important amount o bibliographic data was imported in Wikidata with the project [[d:Wikidata:WikiCite|Wikicite]]. At the time of its creation, Wikicite was adressing the issue of closed bibliographic data and was trying to make these data open, many academic items were imported automatically in Wikidata through scraping. This practice was abandoned because the large amont of bibliographic data on wikidata congested queries Wikidata (this led to the decision to split the Wikidata graph between academic and non academic entities), and because new open science initiatives, notably OpenAlex (2022), are now taking on the task of creating a exhaustive catalogues of all scholarly production. However, these catalogue's data are not always precise enough to answer to the need of researchers.
==== Recommandations ====
>Developp/maintain plugins and extensions to connect more specialised softwares (Zotero, Wikibase, Omeka) with wikidata. These extensions should help retreive data from wikidata (eg. autocompletion), but also help contribute to wikidata with export features.

Wikidata "supports multiple coexisting classification" and allow multiple ontological frameworks to coexist.<ref name=":8">{{Cite web|url=https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.12260v1|title=A Multi-Axial Mindset for Ontology Design Lessons from Wikidata's Polyhierarchical Structure|last=Doğan|first=Ege Atacan|last2=Patel-Schneider|first2=Peter F.|date=2025-12-13|website=arXiv.org|language=en|access-date=2026-05-26}}</ref>
It also supports epistemic pluralism : different worldviews can be represented in wikidata, even though scientific knowledge is preferred.<ref name=":8" />

==== Conceptual modelling ====
We first reflected on what kind of wikidata properties could be used to represent concepts and theories in wikidata. Capturing the content of a concept is not straightforward and there are various approaches coming from psychology and philosophy on the matter<ref>{{Cite book|title=The Origin of Concepts|last=Carey|first=Susan|date=2011|publisher=Oxford University Press USA - OSO|isbn=978-0-19-536763-8|series=Oxford Series in Cognitive Development Ser|location=Cary}}</ref> we summarize these approaches below and examine which wikidata properties exist to represent them.
* Definition: the content of a concept can be formed by its decomposition into other concepts. Many Wikidata properties can be relevant to model definitions, for example: {{Wikidata entity link|P1269}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P361}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P527}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1552}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P6477}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}}...
* Categorization: the content of a concept is formed by its illustration by an exemplar (a [[wikipedia:Prototype_theory|prototype]]) that best represent the concept. Apart from the inclusion of images to illustrate an item, Wikidata structure do not highlight exemplars. However, properties signifying relations of categorizations are among the most used with {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} and {{Wikidata entity link|P279}}.
* Theory: the content of a concept is formed by its role in providing explanation of the world. Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships: {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}, {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}/{{Wikidata entity link|P1479}}.
* Essence: the content of a concept is "something" deep explaning the entity's existence and its properties. We can use concepts before knowing what they mean, and this is what allows us to revise our knowledge about it. The idea of essence is well represented by the QID of Wikidata entities: it is independent of language and definitions and we can create it before really knowing what all its properties will be.
* Origin: the content of the concept is determined causally by social and historial factors (e.g. someone inventing the concept and introducing its use in a language community). This can be represented by the property {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}}.
==== Categorization and conceptualisation practices in management sciences ====
In management sciences « systematic categorizing is the best and perhaps only method for clearing up semantic confusion, management scholars never take the classical approaches to categorizing that facilitated tremendous progress in the physical sciences, and seldomly build on extant categorial schemes. »<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Pierce|first=Jason R.|date=2025-01|title=Categorizing Concepts and Phenomena in Management Research: A Four-Phase Integrative Review and Recommendations|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/annals.2023.0052|journal=Academy of Management Annals|language=en|volume=19|issue=1|page=28|pages=9–37|doi=10.5465/annals.2023.0052|issn=1941-6520}}</ref>.
Some scholars discussed how conceptualization should be done<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Podsakoff|first=Philip M.|last2=MacKenzie|first2=Scott B.|last3=Podsakoff|first3=Nathan P.|date=2016-04|title=Recommendations for Creating Better Concept Definitions in the Organizational, Behavioral, and Social Sciences|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428115624965|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=19|issue=2|pages=159–203|doi=10.1177/1094428115624965|issn=1094-4281}}</ref>,<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Makowski|first=Piotr Tomasz|date=2021-10|title=Optimizing Concepts: Conceptual Engineering in the Field of Management—The Case of Routines Research|url=http://journals.aom.org/doi/full/10.5465/amr.2019.0252|journal=Academy of Management Review|language=en|volume=46|issue=4|pages=702–724|doi=10.5465/amr.2019.0252|issn=0363-7425}}</ref>.
==== Thematic networks ====
[[File:Thematic network example.jpg|thumb|547x547px|Structure of a thematic network (Source: Attride-Stirling 2001)]]
A thematic network is “simply a way of organizing a thematic analysis of qualitative data”<ref name=":7">{{Cite journal|last=Attride-Stirling|first=Jennifer|date=2001-12|title=Thematic networks: an analytic tool for qualitative research|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/146879410100100307|journal=Qualitative Research|language=en|volume=1|issue=3|pages=385–405|doi=10.1177/146879410100100307|issn=1468-7941}}</ref>. It is compatible with classical coding strategies such as [[grounded theory]]<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Corbin|first=Juliet|last2=Strauss|first2=Anselm|date=1990-12-01|title=Grounded Theory Research: Procedures, Canons and Evaluative Criteria|url=https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602/html|journal=Zeitschrift für Soziologie|language=en|volume=19|issue=6|pages=418–427|doi=10.1515/zfsoz-1990-0602|issn=2366-0325}}</ref>. Thematic networks can be used to visualise the data structure after identifying themes and help structure and interpret the data<ref name=":7" />. The principle is to assemble basic themes into more general themes.
Qualitative researchers usually use {{Wikidata entity link|Q4550939}} and qualitative coding (e.g. grounded theory) to identify themes and sub-themes.
However, the nature of the relationship between these various themes and sub-themes is often not specified.
*
==== Causal networks ====
The use of diagrams to represent causal relationship exist in various research practices. In statistics, researchers sometime present models with boxes and arrows representing correlations and/or causations<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://mirror.vcu.edu/pub/mx/doc/mxmang10.pdf|title=Statistical Modeling|last=Neale|first=Michael C.|last2=Boker|first2=Steven M.|last3=Xie|first3=Gary|last4=Maes|first4=Hermine H.|publisher=Richmond, VA: Department of Psychiatry|year=1999|location=Virginia Commonwealth University}}</ref>. In qualitative research, building grounded theory models is about "[accounting] for not only all the major emergent concepts, themes, and dimensions, but also for their dynamic interrelationships. Speaking in classic boxes-and-arrows terms, this process amounts to assembling the constellation of boxes with a special focus on the arrows."<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Gioia|first=Dennis A.|last2=Corley|first2=Kevin G.|last3=Hamilton|first3=Aimee L.|date=2013-01|title=Seeking Qualitative Rigor in Inductive Research: Notes on the Gioia Methodology|url=https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1094428112452151|journal=Organizational Research Methods|language=en|volume=16|issue=1|pages=15–31|doi=10.1177/1094428112452151|issn=1094-4281}}</ref> Researchers relying on system theory also use causal loop diagram where boxes represent variables and arrows represent causal influence (positive or negative), causal relationship can "feedback" (two variables can influence each other)<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4|title=Causal Loop Diagrams|last=Barbrook-Johnson|first=Pete|last2=Penn|first2=Alexandra S.|date=2022|publisher=Springer International Publishing|isbn=978-3-031-01833-6|location=Cham|pages=47–59|language=en|doi=10.1007/978-3-031-01919-7_4}}</ref>.
Wikidata includes several properties to describe causal relationships:
* {{Wikidata entity link|P828}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1542}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1537}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|P1479}} : it is difficult to identify single causes for social phenomenons, many factors having an effect on the subject item will likely be contributing factors
== Testing concept modelling on {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} ==
We started by experimenting the modelling of concept by focusing on the concept of {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. We selected a subset of papers which had energy democracy as main topic :
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901202}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901182}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q136447761}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q129652515}}
* {{Wikidata entity link|Q114306483}}
We read each paper and used them as source to enter statements in the item {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}}. For example, "Energy democracy is both an ideal and a process"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Droubi|first=Sufyan|last2=Heffron|first2=Raphael|last3=McCauley|first3=Darren|date=2022-04-01|title=A critical review of energy democracy: A failure to deliver justice?|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q137901182|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|volume=86|pages=4|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2021.102444}}</ref>, we thus entered the wikidata statement {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} is an {{Wikidata entity link|P31}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q840396}}, using the paper as source. The result of this first step is visible in the archival version of the item (22 May 2026) here https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q14944319&oldid=2495982191.
Ontology challenges:
*{{Wikidata entity link|P31}}: concepts may have a dual nature because they designate at the same time an idea and the entity that this idea represent. Energy democracy is a concept, an ideal, a process and an outcome.
*'''Process versus outcome :''' For material processes, the distinction between process and outcome is rather simple. For example, in Wikidata, {{Wikidata entity link|Q11629}} (practice of applying paint) is different from {{Wikidata entity link|Q3305213}} (visual artwork), and this distinction is based on the criterion "{{Wikidata entity link|Q127270577}}". However, this distinction is less straightforward for social processes that do not have an end. Such processes are ongoing and outcomes cannot be separated as clearly.
* '''Ideal versus reality :''' Concepts do not have goals in themselves, but the reality they represent can have goals. To distinguish goals from the process to reach it, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3712}} to describe ideals and {{Wikidata entity link|P2670}} to describe processes.
* '''Phenomenon versus theory :''' Wikidata current items are not really suited to model "meta-research" statements. For example, modelling the idea tha the literature on energy democracy is fragmented would require creating an item representing the energy democracy literature, not just energy democracy in general. Similarly, it can be difficult to model the chronological evolution of the definition of an idea (although it could be technically possible). It is hard to represent in Wikidata affirmations related to missing knowlege, propositions of untested hypothesis, critique of existing research or research agenda recommandations
* '''Origin of discourses versus origin of practices :''' To distinguish the causes of the concepts/discourses and the causes of the phenomenon itself, we used {{Wikidata entity link|P3938}} to indicate the origins of the concept or the movements promoting it.
Some of the statements we added may seem contradictory. However, Wikidata supports "because statements essentially point to referenceable sources of information and different sources may provide contradicting information, it's possible to represent a plurality of perspectives on Wikidata"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Help:Statements#Plurality_and_consensus|title=Help:Statements - Wikidata|website=www.wikidata.org|language=en|access-date=2026-06-08}}</ref>. The {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} concept could be split into more precise concepts to distinguish the social movement advocating for it, the political concept theorizing it and the concrete initiatives implementing it. However, the current sources do not make this distinction for now.
Other challenges
* Wikidata does not seem to be the best tool to model quantitative statements, for example, the paper {{Wikidata entity link|Q137901196}} states that "9.8% of the final energy consumed in developing countries comes from modern renewable energy sources". Including energy data in Wikidata require using or creating specific properties (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|P6826}})
* When concepts are not precisely defined, statements cannot be modelled correctly. For example, in the sentence "management of social affairs by voluntary and self-governing associations is deemed to ensure that both citizen choice and public welfare are best served"<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Veelen|first=Bregje van|last2=Horst|first2=Dan van der|date=2018-12-01|title=What is energy democracy? Connecting social science energy research and political theory|url=https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q129652515|journal=Energy Research & Social Science|language=English|volume=46|pages=19–28|doi=10.1016/J.ERSS.2018.06.010}}</ref>, "choice" could refer to {{Wikidata entity link|Q111986453}}, {{Wikidata entity link|Q1331926}}, or {{Wikidata entity link|Q12888920}} as "choice" can refer to the availability of different options, or the decision process to chose among them.
Advantages :
* Link toward unique identifiers for concepts, but also laws (e.g. {{Wikidata entity link|Q139764294}})
== Interactions with the Wikidata community ==
* Some Wikidata contributors added labels for {{Wikidata entity link|Q14944319}} in other languages such as Armenian or Slovenian.
== Data visualisation ==
=== Filter statements ===
* Visualize only statements using a specitic source. Example : https://w.wiki/PFqH
* Visualize only items which are part to the present project (require that all items of the project include the statement {{Wikidata entity link|P6104}} {{Wikidata entity link|Q134545539}}).

| abstract = In [[w:mathematics|mathematics]], the '''pentagram map''' is a [[w:Dynamical system#Discrete dynamical system|discrete dynamical system]] acting on [[w:polygons|polygons]] in the [[w:projective plane|projective plane]]. It defines a new polygon whose vertices are obtained as the intersection points of the shortest [[w:Diagonal|diagonals]] of the initial polygon. This is a [[w:Projective linear group|projectively]] [[w:Equivariant map|equivariant]] procedure, hence it [[w:Quotient space (topology)|descends]] to the [[w:moduli space|moduli space]] of polygons and defines another dynamical system (which is also referred to as the pentagram map). It was first introduced by [[w:Richard Schwartz (mathematician)|Richard Schwartz]] in 1992.{{Sfn|Schwartz|1992}}
The pentagram map on the moduli space is famous for its [[w:Completely integrable|complete integrability]] and its link with [[w:cluster algebra|cluster algebras]].{{sfn|Gekhtman|Izosimov|2025|p=14}}
It admits many generalizations in [[w:Projective space|projective spaces]] and other settings.

== Introduction ==
=== Informal definition ===
==== On polygons ====
[[File:Pentagram pentagon nolabel big.svg|alt=|thumb|300x300px|The pentagram map applied on a [[w:Convex set|convex]] [[w:pentagon|pentagon]].]]
Initially, the pentagram map was defined for [[w:convex polygon|convex polygon]]s (with at least five sides) on the [[w:euclidean plane|Euclidean plane]]. Given such a polygon <math>P</math> with <math>n</math> sides, one can draw the "shortest [[w:diagonal|diagonal]]s", meaning the [[w:Line segment|segments]] whose endpoints are a [[w:Vertex (geometry)|vertex]] and one of its second neighbors (as in Figure 1). The intersections of the shortest diagonals are then taken as the vertices of a new <math>n</math>-gon <math>T(P)</math>; this new polygon is the output of the pentagram map.{{Sfn|Berger|2005}}
The same construction can be done on [[w:Concave polygon|non-convex polygons]], but there are several complications. First, some consecutive short diagonals may not intersect, so one must extend the segments to [[w:Line (geometry)|lines]]. Second, the image <math>T(P)</math> can fail to be a new <math>n</math>-gon because some consecutive vertices could coincide. However, this [[w:Generic property|generically]] doesn't happen.{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|p=411|2009}} Finally, it is possible that two diagonals are [[w:Parallel (geometry)|parallel]] and don't intersect on the [[w:euclidean plane|Euclidean plane]]. This is resolved by extending the Euclidean plane to the [[w:real projective plane|real projective plane]] by the addition of a [[w:line at infinity|line at infinity]], where the [[w:Vanishing point|intersection point]] lies (see Figure 3). Hence, the pentagram map is defined for generic polygons in the real projective plane.{{Sfn|Berger|2005|p=25}}
More generally, the construction of the pentagram map is well defined whenever the concepts of lines and their intersections make sense. This is encompassed by the notion of a general [[w:projective plane|projective plane]], of which the real projective plane is one example; but the pentagram map can also be considered over other [[w:Field (mathematics)|fields]], for instance the [[w:complex number|complex number]]s, which give the [[w:complex projective plane|complex projective plane]].{{Sfn|Weinreich|2022|loc=§3.1.1}}
==== On the moduli space of polygons ====
Since the pentagram map is constructed by drawing lines and marking their intersections, it [[w:Commutative property|commutes]] with any transformation that sends lines to lines. Such maps are called [[w:projective transformations|projective transformations]]. This allows to identify polygons [[w:up to|up to]] [[w:Perspectivity#Projectivity|projective transformations]]. This identification gives a [[w:Quotient space (topology)|quotient space]] (technically called a [[w:moduli space|moduli space]]) of [[w:Equivalence class|classes]] of polygons.
The pentagram map on polygons induces another dynamical system on the moduli space,{{Sfn|Schwartz|1992|loc=§1 Projective geometry}} whose behavior differs quite a lot from the initial one.{{Efn|Compare the paragraph about the [[w:Pentagram map#Collapsing of convex polygons|collapsing of convex polygons]] and the one about [[w:Pentagram map#Complete integrability|complete integrability]].}} The dynamic is trivial for the classes of pentagons and heptagons, but this stops to be the case for polygons with more vertices.{{Efn|See the paragraph about [[w:Pentagram_map#Pentagons_and_hexagons|pentagons and hexagons]].}}
=== Historical elements ===
The pentagram map for general polygons was introduced in {{Harvard citation|Schwartz|1992}}, but the simplest case is the one of [[w:pentagons|pentagons]], hence the name "[[w:pentagram|pentagram]]".{{Sfn|Marí-Beffa|2014|p=1}} Their study goes back to {{Harvard citation|Clebsch|1871}},{{Sfn|Izosimov|2022a|p=1085}} {{Harvard citation|Kasner|1928}}{{Sfn|Tabachnikov|2019}} and {{Harvard citation|Motzkin|1945}}.{{Sfn|Schwartz|2013|p=1}}
The pentagram map interacts with some classical configuration theorems of [[w:projective geometry|projective geometry]]. It provides results analogous to the ones of [[w:Pascal's theorem|Pascal's theorem]] and [[wikipedia:Brianchon's_theorem|Brianchon's theorem]].{{Sfn|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010}} Some specific configurations make [[w:Desargues' theorem|Desargues's theorem]] and [[w:Poncelet's porism|Poncelet's porism]] appear.{{Sfn|Berger|2005|loc=§4 and §5}}{{Efn|See the paragraph about [[w:Pentagram map#Poncelet polygons|Poncelet polygons]].}}

A polygon <math>P</math> with <math>n</math> sides, or <math>n</math>-gon, is a tuple of [[w:Vertex (geometry)|vertices]] <math>(v_1,\dots,v_n)</math> lying in some [[w:projective plane|projective plane]] <math>\mathbb P ^2</math>,{{Efn|In the following, the figures represent polygons on the real plane, where the intuition is easier to grasp.}} where the indices are understood [[w:Modular arithmetic|modulo]] <math>n</math>.

Suppose that the vertices are in sufficiently [[w:general position|general position]], meaning that no consecutive triple of points are [[w:Collinearity|collinear]].{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2013|p=1}} Taking the intersection of two consecutive "shortest" [[w:diagonal|diagonal]]s{{Efn|Meaning the line between a vertex <math>v_k</math> and a "second neighbour" <math>v_{k\pm 2}</math>.}} defines a new point<math display="block"> w_k := \overline{v_{k-1} v_{k+1}} \cap \overline{v_{k} v_{k+2}}. </math>This procedure defines a new <math>n</math>-gon <math>T(P)=(w_1,\dots,w_n)</math>, as in Figure 2.{{Sfn|Schwartz|1992|p=71}}
The labeling of the indices of <math>T(P)</math> is not [[w:canonical|canonical]]. In most papers, a choice is made at the beginning of the paper and the formulas are tuned accordingly.{{Sfn|Izosimov|2016|loc=remark 1.5}}
The pentagram map on polygons is a [[w:birational map|birational map]] <math>T:(\mathbb P^2)^n</math>{{nowrap|{{font|size=145%|⇢}}}}<math>(\mathbb P^2)^n</math>. Indeed, each [[w:Homogeneous coordinates|coordinate]] of <math>w_k</math> is given as a [[w:rational function|rational function]] of the coordinates of <math>v_{k-1},\dots,v_{k+2}</math>, since it is defined as the intersection of lines passing by them. Moreover, the [[w:inverse map|inverse map]] is given by taking the intersections <math>\overline{w_{k-2} w_{k-1}} \cap \overline{w_{k} w_{k+1}} </math>, which is rational for the same reason.{{Sfnp|Weinreich|2022|loc=definition 1.2}}
=== Moduli space ===
The pentagram map is defined by taking [[w:Line (geometry)|lines]] and intersections of them. The biggest [[w:Group (mathematics)|group]] which maps lines to lines is the one of [[w:projective transformations|projective transformations]] <math>\mathbb P \mathrm{GL}_{3}</math>. Such a transformation <math>M</math> [[w:Group action|acts]] on a polygon <math>P</math> by sending it to <math>M \cdot P:=(Mv_1,\dots,Mv_n)</math>. The pentagram map [[w:Commutative property|commutes]] with this action, and thereby induces another [[w:dynamical system|dynamical system]] on the [[w:moduli space|moduli space]] of projective [[w:equivalence classes|equivalence classes]] of polygons. Its [[w:Dimension of an algebraic variety|dimension]] is <math>2n-8</math>.{{Sfn|Schwartz|1992|loc=§1 Projective geometry}}
===Twisted polygons===
[[File:Twisted heptagon.svg|alt=|thumb|300x300px|An example of twisted [[w:heptagon|heptagon]] on the real plane.]]
The pentagram map naturally generalizes on the larger space of twisted polygons (see example in Figure 4). For any integer <math>n\geq5</math>, a twisted <math>n</math>-gon <math>P</math> is the data of:
* a [[w:Sequence#Indexing|bi-infinite sequence]] of points <math>(v_k)_{k\in\mathbb Z}</math> in the projective plane (called the vertices),
* a [[w:projective transformation|projective transformation]] <math>M \in \mathbb P \mathrm{GL}_3</math> (called the [[w:monodromy|monodromy]]),
such that for any <math>k \in \mathbb Z</math>, the property <math>v_{k+n}=Mv_k</math> is satisfied. The dimension of the space of twisted <math>n</math>-gons is <math>2n+8</math>.{{Sfn|Schwartz|2008}}
When <math>M=\mathrm{Id}</math>, this gives back the initial definition of polygons (which are said to be closed). The space of closed <math>n</math>-gons is of [[w:codimension|codimension]] <math>8</math> in the space of twisted ones.{{Sfn|Soloviev|2013|p=2816}}
The action of projective transformations over the space of closed polygons generalizes to the space of twisted ones (the monodromy is changed by [[w:Matrix similarity|conjugation]]). This provides again a moduli space, of dimension <math>2n</math>.{{Sfn|Weinreich|2022|loc=definition 1.3}}
== Collapsing of convex polygons ==
=== Exponential shrinking ===
[[File:Pentagram map convex heptagon iterate.svg|alt=|thumb|300x300px|The pentagram map iterated on a convex [[w:heptagon|heptagon]], exhibiting the convergence.]]
Let <math>P</math> be a closed [[w:Convex polygon#Strictly convex polygon|strictly convex polygon]] lying on the real plane. One of the first results proved by Richard Schwartz it that its iterates under the pentagram map shrink [[w:Exponential growth|exponentially fast]] to a point, as illustrated in Figure 5. This follows from two facts.
# The image of a strictly convex polygon is contained in its [[w:Interior (topology)|interior]], and is also strictly convex.{{Sfn|Glick|2020|p=2818}}
# There exists a constant <math>0< \eta_P<1</math>, depending on <math>P</math>, such that for any <math>N \in \mathbb N</math>, the diameters of the iterates verify the inequality <math display="inline">\operatorname{diam}(T^N(P))\leq\eta_P^N \operatorname{diam}(P). </math>{{Sfn|Schwartz|1992|loc=theorem 3.1}}
Hence, by [[w:Cantor's intersection theorem#Variant in complete metric spaces|Cantor's intersection theorem]], the sequence of polygons collapses toward a point.{{Sfn|Schwartz|1992|loc=§3 Convex polygons}}
The behavior on the moduli space is very different, since the dynamics is [[w:Recurrent point|recurrent]].{{Sfn|Schwartz|2001|loc=theorem 1.1}} It is even a [[w:quasiperiodic motion|quasiperiodic motion]],{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2009}} as discussed in [[w:Pentagram map#Complete integrability|the section about integrability]].
=== Coordinates of the limit point ===
The limit point coordinates are found in {{Harvard citation|Glick|2020}}. They satisfy some [[w:Degree of a polynomial|degree]] 3 [[w:polynomial equation|polynomial equations]], whose coefficients are [[w:rational function|rational function]]s in the coordinates of the vertices of the starting polygon. The proof relies on the fact that the limit point must be an [[w:eigenline|eigenline]] of a certain [[w:linear operator|linear operator]] of <math>\mathbb R^3</math>.{{sfn|Glick|2020}}
This operator was reinterpreted in {{Harvard citation|Aboud|Izosimov|2022}} as the infinitesimal monodromy of the polygon. The [[w:Pentagram map#The scaling symmetry|scaling symmetry]] is used to [[w:Deformation (mathematics)|deform]] a closed polygon <math>P</math> into a family of twisted ones '''<math>(P_z)_{z\in \mathbb C^*}</math>''' with monodromy <math>M_z</math>. The infinitesimal monodromy is defined to be:{{sfn|Aboud|Izosimov|2022}}
<math display="block">\left.\frac{dM_z}{dz}\right|_{z=1}.</math>
=== Generalization ===
The collapsing of polygons may also happen in some [[w:Pentagram map#Generalizations|generalization of the pentagram map]], when considering some specific configurations of polygons in the real plane. The coordinates of the collapse point are given by a formula analogous to the one for the original pentagram map.{{Sfn|Schwartz|2026}}
== Periodic orbits on the moduli space ==
For some configurations of closed polygons, the iterate of the pentagram map will send <math>P</math> to a projectively equivalent polygon (up to some shift of the indices). This means that, on the moduli space, the orbit of the class of <math>P</math> is [[w:Periodic orbit|periodic]].
===Pentagons and hexagons===
[[File:penta hexagon.svg|300px|thumb|The outward hexagon is projectively equivalent to the inward one, with respect to their labeling.]]The following two facts are proved by checking [[w:cross-ratio|cross-ratio]] equalities, so they are true for polygons in any [[w:projective plane|projective plane]] (not just the [[w:Real projective plane|real one]]).{{Sfn|Schwartz|1992|loc=§2 Pentagons and hexagons}}
The pentagram map <math>T</math> is the identity on the moduli space of [[w:pentagon|pentagon]]s.{{Sfn|Schwartz|1992|loc=theorem 2.1}}{{Sfn|Clebsch|1871}}{{Sfn|Motzkin|1945}} The second iterate <math>T^2</math> is the identity on the space of labeled [[w:hexagon|hexagon]]s, up to a shift of labeling (see Figure 6).{{Sfn|Schwartz|1992|loc=theorem 2.3}} This phenomenon doesn't generalize to generic polygons with at least seven sides, for which the motion is [[w:Quasiperiodic motion|quasi-periodic]].{{Sfn|Tupan|2022}}
==== Generalization ====
The result about pentagons and hexagons generalizes to some [[w:Pentagram map#Generalizations|higher pentagram maps]] in <math>\mathbb P ^k</math>, for polygons with <math>k+3</math> or <math>2k+2</math> sides. The proof uses a generalization of the [[w:Gale transform|Gale transform]].{{Sfn|Dirdak|2024}}
=== Poncelet polygons ===
A polygon is said to be Poncelet{{Efn|The name comes from [[w:Jean-Victor Poncelet|Jean-Victor Poncelet]] and [[w:Poncelet porism|his porism]].{{Sfn|Izosimov|2022a|p=1085}}}} if it is [[w:Inscribed figure|inscribed]] in a [[w:Conic section|conic]] and circumscribed about another one.{{Sfn|Schwartz|2015|loc=|p=433}}{{Efn|In particular, pentagons are Poncelet since [[w:five points determine a conic|five points determine a conic]].{{Sfn|Schwartz|2015|loc=|p=433}}}} For a convex Poncelet <math>n</math>-gon <math>P</math> lying on the [[w:real projective plane|real projective plane]], the polygon <math>T^2(P)</math> is projectively equivalent to <math>P</math>.{{Sfn|Schwartz|2015|loc=theorem 1.1}} In fact, when <math>n</math> is odd, the converse is also true.{{Sfn|Izosimov|2022a|loc=corollary 1.1}}
However, this converse statement is no longer true when the polygons are considered over the [[w:complex projective plane|complex projective plane]].{{Sfn|Izosimov|2022a|loc=remark 1.3}}
==Coordinates for the moduli space==
The moduli space can be described by different [[w:Coordinate_system|coordinate systems]]. The following ones are practical to explicit the dynamic, as presented in the next section.
=== Corner coordinates ===
[[File:Corner coordinates big.svg|thumb|300x300px|The geometric construction of the points defining the corner invariants.]]
Define the [[w:cross-ratio|cross-ratio]] of four [[w:Collinearity|collinear]] points to be
: <math> [a,b,c,d]=\frac{(a-b)(c-d)}{(a-c)(b-d)}. </math>
The corner invariants are a system of coordinates on the space of twisted polygons, constructed by taking intersections as in Figure 7.{{Sfn|Schwartz|2001|loc=figure 2}} The left and right invariants are respectively defined{{Efn|The ordering of the vertices in the cross-ratios can differ from a paper to another one, which slightly changes the formulas in the following sections.}} as the following cross-ratios:
: <math>x_k:=[v_{k-2},v_{k-1},\overline{v_{k-2}v_{k-1}}\cap\overline{v_{k}v_{k+1}},\overline{v_{k-2}v_{k-1}}\cap\overline{v_{k+1}v_{k+2}}],</math>
: <math>y_k:=[\overline{v_{k+1}v_{k+2}}\cap\overline{v_{k-2}v_{k-1}}, \overline{v_{k+1}v_{k+2}}\cap\overline{v_{k-1}v_{k}},v_{k+1},v_{k+2}].</math>
Since the cross-ratio is [[w:Cross-ratio#Projective geometry|projective invariant]], the sequences <math>(x_k)_{k \in \mathbb Z}</math> and <math>(y_k)_{k \in \mathbb Z}</math> associated to a twisted <math>n</math>-gon are <math>n</math> periodic.{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|p=415}}
The corner invariants are elements of <math>\mathbb{P}^1\smallsetminus\{0,1,\infty\}</math>, and they realize an [[w:Isomorphism_of_varieties|isomorphism of variety]] between the moduli space of twisted <math>n</math>-gons and <math>(\mathbb{P}^1\smallsetminus\{0,1,\infty\})^{2n}</math>.{{Sfn|Weinreich|2022|loc=theorem 3.6}}
===ab-coordinates===
There is a second set of coordinates for the moduli space of twisted <math>n</math>-gons defined over a [[w:Field (mathematics)|field]] <math>F</math> satisfying <math>\mathrm{SL}_3(F)\cong \mathbb P\mathrm{GL}_3(F)</math>,{{Sfn|Weinreich|2022|loc=remark 3.8}} and such that <math>n</math> is not divisible by <math>3</math>.{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=section 4.1}}
The vertices <math>v_k</math> in the [[w:projective plane|projective plane]] <math>\mathbb P^2(F)</math> can be [[w:Lift (mathematics)|lifted]] to [[w:Vector space|vectors]] <math>V_k</math> in the [[w:affine space|affine space]] <math>F^3</math> so that each consecutive triple of vectors spans a [[w:parallelepiped|parallelepiped]] having [[w:determinant|determinant]] equal to <math>1</math>. This leads to the relation{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=equation 4.1}}
: <math>V_{k+3} = a_k V_{k+2} + b_k V_{k+1} + V_k.</math>
This bring out an analogy between twisted polygons and solutions of third order linear [[w:ordinary differential equations|ordinary differential equations]], normalized to have unit [[w:Wronskian|Wronskian]].{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=remark 6.6}}
They are linked to the corner coordinates by:{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=lemma 4.5}}
: <math>x_k=\frac{a_{k-2}}{b_{k-2}b_{k-1}},</math>
: <math>y_k=-\frac{b_{k-1}}{a_{k-2}a_{k-1}}.</math>
==Formulas on the moduli space==
===As a birational map ===
The pentagram map is a [[w:birational map|birational map]] on the moduli space, because it can be decomposed as the [[w:Function composition|composition]] of two [[w:Birational geometry|birational]] [[w:Involution (mathematics)|involutions]].{{Sfn|Schwartz|2008|loc=§1.2 The Pentagram Map}} The corner invariants change in the following way:{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|loc=lemma 2.4|Tabachnikov|2010}}
: <math>x_k'=x_k\frac{1-x_{k-1} y_{k-1}}{1-x_{k+1}y_{k+1}},</math>
: <math>y_k'=y_{k+1}\frac{1-x_{k+2} y_{k+2}}{1-x_k y_k}.</math>
=== The scaling symmetry ===
The [[w:multiplicative group|multiplicative group]] <math>F\smallsetminus\{0\}</math> [[w:One-parameter group|acts]] on the moduli space in the following way:
: <math>R_s\cdot(x_1,\dots,x_n,y_1,\dots,y_n)=(sx_1,\dots,sx_n,s^{-1}y_1,\dots,s^{-1}y_n),</math>
where <math>R</math> is called the scaling action and <math>s</math> is the scaling parameter. This action commutes with the pentagram map on the moduli space (as presented in the previous formulas). This property is called the scaling symmetry, and is instrumental in proving the [[w:Pentagram map#Complete integrability|complete integrability]] of the dynamics.{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=corollary 2.5}}
==Invariant structures==
===Monodromy invariants===
The monodromy invariants, introduced in {{Harvard citation|Schwartz|2008}}, are a collection of [[w:Function (mathematics)|functions]] on the [[w:moduli space|moduli space]] that are invariant under the pentagram map.{{Sfn|Schwartz|2008|loc=theorem 1.2}} The simplest example of them are
:<math> O_n= x_1x_2\cdots x_{n}, \quad E_n = y_1y_2\cdots y_n. </math>
The other monodromy invariants can be retrieved through different points of view: through the [[w:Pentagram map#The scaling symmetry|scaling symmetry]], as [[w:Combinatorics|combinatorial]] objects, or as some [[w:determinant|determinant]]s.{{Sfn|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2011|loc=§2 The Monodromy Invariants}} The one involving scaling symmetry is presented here.
Let <math>M\in \mathrm{GL}_3</math> be a [[w:Lift (mathematics)|lift]] of the monodromy of a twisted <math>n</math>-gon. The quantities
: <math>\Omega_1=\frac{\operatorname{trace}^3(M)}{\det(M)}, \quad \Omega_2=\frac{\operatorname{trace}^3(M^{-1})}{\det(M^{-1})},</math>
are independent of the choice of lift and are invariant under [[w:Matrix similarity|conjugation]], so they are well defined for the projective class of the polygon. They are invariant under the pentagram map, since the monodromy matrix doesn't change.{{Sfn|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2011|loc=|p=5}} Now, the quantities
: <math>\tilde{\Omega}_1=O_n^2E_n\Omega_1, \quad \tilde{\Omega}_2=O_nE_n^2\Omega_2,</math>
have the same properties, but turn out to be polynomials in the corner invariants.{{Efn|Some papers consider the cube roots of this functions, but it doesn't change the following definitions of the monodromy invariants.}} They can be written as{{Sfn|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2011|loc=|p=5}}
: <math>
\tilde{\Omega}_1=\biggl(\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}O_k\biggr)^3, \quad
\tilde{\Omega}_2=\biggl(\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor n/2\rfloor}E_k\biggr)^3,
</math>
where each <math>O_k</math> and <math>E_k</math> are [[w:homogeneous polynomial|homogeneous polynomial]]s respectively of weight <math>k</math> and <math>-k</math>,{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2013|p=11}} meaning they change under the [[w:Pentagram map#The scaling symmetry|rescaling action]] on variables by{{Sfn|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2011|p=5}}
: <math> R_s(O_k)= s^k O_k, \quad R_s(E_k)= s^{-k} E_k. </math>
The quantities <math>O_1,\dots,O_{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor},O_n, E_1,\dots,E_{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor},E_n,</math> are unchanged by the dynamics, and are called the monodromy invariants. Moreover, they are [[w:algebraically independent|algebraically independent]].{{Sfn|Schwartz|2008|loc=theorem 1.2}}
==== Polygons on conics ====
Whenever <math>P</math> is [[w:Inscribed figure|inscribed]] on a [[w:conic section|conic section]], one has <math>O_k(P)=E_k(P)</math> for all <math>k</math>.{{Sfn|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2011|loc=theorem 1.1}} Moreover, if <math>P</math> is circumscribed about another conic,{{Efn|See the paragraph about [[w:Pentagram map#Poncelet polygons|Poncelet polygons]].}} then its monodromy invariants are characterized by the pair of conics.{{Sfn|Schwartz|2015|loc=theorem 1.2}} For such odd-gons, the translation on the [[w:Jacobian variety|Jacobian variety]]{{Efn|See the paragraph about [[w:Pentagram map#Algebro-geometric integrability|algebraic integrability]].}} is restricted to the [[w:Prym variety|Prym variety]] (which is a half-dimensional torus in the Jacobian).{{Sfn|Izosimov|2016|loc=theorem 1.3}}
===Poisson bracket===
An invariant [[w:Poisson bracket|Poisson bracket]] on the space of twisted polygons was found in {{Harvard citation|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010}}. The monodromy invariants [[w:Poisson bracket#Constants of motion|commute]] with respect to it:
<math display="block"> \{O_i,O_j\}=\{O_i,E_j\}=\{E_i,E_j\}=0 </math>for all <math>i,j</math>.{{sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=theorem 1}}
The Poisson bracket is defined in terms of the corner coordinates by:
<math display="block"> \begin{align}
\{x_i,x_{i\pm1}\} &= \mp x_i x_{i+1}, \\
\{y_i,y_{i\pm 1}\} &= \mp y_i y_{i+1}, \\
\{x_i,x_j\} &= \{y_i,y_j\} = \{x_i,y_j\} = 0
\end{align}</math>for all other <math> i,j.</math>{{sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=equation 2.16}}
=== The spectral curve ===
Let <math>\zeta</math> be an element of the [[w:multiplicative group|multiplicative group]] and <math>P_\zeta</math> be the polygon obtained by applying the [[w:Pentagram map#The scaling symmetry|rescaling action]] <math>R_\zeta</math> on <math>P</math>. A [[w:Lax matrix|Lax matrix]] <math>\hat{T}(\zeta) \in \mathrm{GL}_3</math> is a lift of the monodromy of <math>P_\zeta</math> satisfying a [[w:Lax pair#Zero-curvature equation|zero-curvature equation]].{{Sfn|Weinreich|2022|loc=§5 The Lax representation}} Then, the spectral function is the [[w:Bivariate polynomial|bivariate]] [[w:characteristic polynomial|characteristic polynomial]]
<math display="block"> Q(\lambda,\zeta) := \det(\lambda\operatorname{Id}-\hat{T}(\zeta)),</math>or some renormalization of it. The [[w:spectral curve|spectral curve]] is the [[w:Projective variety#projective completion|projective completion]] of the [[w:Algebraic curve|affine curve]] defined by the equation <math>Q(\lambda,\zeta)=0</math>.{{Sfn|Weinreich|2022|loc=§6. The geometry of the spectral curve}} It is invariant under the pentagram map, and the monodromy invariants appear as the [[w:coefficient|coefficient]]s of <math>Q</math>.{{Sfn|Soloviev|2013|loc=theorem 6.4}} Its [[w:geometric genus|geometric genus]] is <math>n-1</math> if <math>n</math> is odd, and <math>n-2</math> if <math>n</math> is even.{{Sfn|Weinreich|2022|p=|loc=theorem 6.4}}
It was first introduced in {{Harv|Soloviev|2013|ps=|p=}} for his proof of [[w:Pentagram map#Algebro-geometric integrability|algebro-geometric integrability]].{{sfn|Soloviev|2013}}
==Complete integrability==
The pentagram map on the moduli space has been proved to be a [[w:completely integrable|completely integrable]] [[w:discrete dynamical system|discrete dynamical system]], both in the [[w:Integrable system#Hamiltonian systems and Liouville integrability|Arnold-Liouville]]{{Efn|Over the [[w:real number|real number]]s.}} and the [[w:Integrable system#Complete integrability over the complex numbers|algebro-geometric]]{{Efn|Over [[w:algebraically closed field|algebraically closed field]]s of [[w:Characteristic (algebra)|characteristic]] different from 2.}} senses. In any case, this means that the moduli space is [[w:almost everywhere|almost everywhere]] [[w:Foliation|foliated]] by [[w:Torus#Flat torus|flat tori]] (or in the algebraic setting, [[w:Abelian variety|Abelian varieties]]), where the motion is a [[w:Translation (geometry)|translation]]. This [[w:Generic property|generically]] induces a [[w:quasiperiodic motion|quasiperiodic motion]] on the corresponding torus.{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2009}}
===Arnold–Liouville integrability===
The proof of the integrability of the pentagram map on a real twisted polygon was achieved in {{Harvard citation|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010}}. This is done by noticing that the monodromy invariants <math>O_n</math> and <math>E_n</math> are [[w:Casimir invariant|Casimir invariant]]s for the bracket, meaning (in this context) that<math display="block"> \{O_n,f\}=\{E_n,f\} = 0 </math>for all functions <math>f</math>.{{sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=theorem 1}} When <math>n</math> is even, this is also true for the monodromy invariants <math>O_{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor }</math> and <math>E_{\lfloor n/2 \rfloor }</math>.{{sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=theorem 1}}
This allows to consider the Casimir [[w:level set|level set]], where each Casimir has a specified value. Because of [[w:Sard's theorem|Sard's theorem]], any generic level set is a [[w:smooth manifold|smooth manifold]].{{Sfn|Schwartz|2017|p=44}} They form a [[w:foliation|foliation]] in [[w:Poisson manifold#Symplectic leaves|symplectic leaves]], on which the Poisson bracket gives rise to a [[w:symplectic form|symplectic form]].{{sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=corollary 2.13}}
Each of these symplectic leaves has an iso-monodromy [[w:foliation|foliation]], namely, a decomposition into the common level sets of the remaining monodromy functions. By using again [[w:Sard's theorem|Sard's theorem]], they are generically [[w:Symplectic manifold#Lagrangian submanifolds|Lagrangian manifolds]].{{Sfn|Schwartz|2017|p=45}} Moreover, they are compact.{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=§3.3. Compactness of the level sets}} Since the monodromy invariants Poisson-commute and there are enough of them, the discrete [[w:Liouville–Arnold theorem|Liouville–Arnold theorem]] can be applied to prove that the level sets are [[w:Torus#Flat torus|flat tori]] over which the dynamics is a translation.{{sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|p=412}}
===Algebro-geometric integrability===
In {{Harvard citation|Soloviev|2013}}, it was shown that the pentagram map admits a [[w:Lax representation|Lax representation]] with a spectral parameter, which allows to prove its algebro-geometric integrability. This means that the space of polygons (either twisted or closed) is parametrized by its spectral data, consisting of [[w:Pentagram map#The spectral curve|its spectral curve]], with marked points and a [[w:Divisor (algebraic geometry)|divisor]] given by a [[w:Floquet theory|Floquet]]–[[w:Bloch's theorem|Bloch]] equation. This gives an embedding to the [[w:Jacobian variety|Jacobian variety]] through the [[w:Abel–Jacobi map|Abel–Jacobi map]], where the motion is expressed in terms of translation.{{sfn|Soloviev|2013|loc=theorems A, B and C}} The previously defined Poisson bracket is also retrieved.{{sfn|Soloviev|2013|loc=theorem D}}
This integrability was generalized in {{Harvard citation|Weinreich|2022}} from the field of [[w:complex number|complex number]]s to any [[w:algebraically closed field|algebraically closed field]] of [[w:Characteristic (algebra)|characteristic]] different from 2. The translation on a torus is replaced by a translation on an [[w:Abelian variety|Abelian variety]] (in fact, a Jacobian variety again).{{sfn|Weinreich|2022|loc=theorem 1.4}}
=== Dimension of the invariant manifold ===
For twisted <math>n</math>-gons, the [[w:dimension|dimension]] of the invariant tori (or Jacobian varieties) is{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|p=421}}
: <math>\begin{cases}
n-1 & \text{when }n \text{ is odd,}\\
n-2 & \text{when }n \text{ is even.}
\end{cases}</math>
Moreover, when <math>n</math> is even, there are two isomorphic Jacobians on which the iterates of the pentagram map alternate. But on each of them, the second iterate is a translation.{{Sfn|Weinreich|2022|loc=theorem 1.4}}
=== For closed polygons ===
There is no Poisson structure on the space of closed polygons.{{Sfn|Soloviev|2013|loc=corollary 4.1}} Nevertheless, the one from twisted polygons can be used to prove integrability.{{sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2013|p=2153}}
Algebro-geometric integrability holds for closed polygons in a same manner as for the twisted ones.{{Sfn|Soloviev|2013|loc=theorem C}} However, Arnold-Liouville integrability is proved for real closed polygons only when they are convex. This is done by restricting the [[w:Hamiltonian vector field|Hamiltonian vector field]]s of monodromy functions to smaller dimensional tori, and showing that enough of them are still independent.{{sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2013|loc=corollary 1.1}}
In both situation, the dimension of the invariant manifolds decreases by <math>3</math> for closed <math>n</math>-gons (compared to the twisted case), and is equal to{{Sfn|Soloviev|2013|loc=theorem C}}{{sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2013|loc=theorem 1}}

n-4 & \text{when }n \text{ is odd,}\\
n-5 & \text{when }n \text{ is even.}

===The Boussinesq equation===
The continuous limit of a convex polygon is a parametrized convex curve in the plane. When the time parameter is suitably chosen, the [[w:Discretization|continuous limit]] of the pentagram map is the classical [[w:Boussinesq approximation (water waves)|Boussinesq equation]]. This equation is a classical example of an [[w:integrable|integrable]] [[w:partial differential equation|partial differential equation]].{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=theorem 5}}
Here is a description of the geometric action of the Boussinesq equation. Given a [[w:locally convex|locally convex]] curve <math> C:\mathbb R\to \mathbb R^2 </math> and real numbers <math>x</math> and <math>t</math>, consider the [[w:chord (geometry)|chord]] connecting <math> C(x-t) </math> to <math> C(x+t) </math>. The [[w:Envelope (mathematics)|envelope]] of all these chords is a new curve <math> C_t(x) </math>. When <math>t</math> is extremely small, the curve <math> C_t(x) </math> is a good model for the time <math>t</math> evolution of the original curve <math> C_0(x) </math> under the Boussinesq equation. This construction is also similar to the pentagram map. Moreover, the pentagram invariant bracket is a discretization of a well known invariant Poisson bracket associated to the Boussinesq equation.{{Sfn|Ovsienko|Schwartz|Tabachnikov|2010|loc=§6.4 Discretization}}
===Cluster algebras===
The pentagram map{{Sfn|Glick|2011}} and some of its generalizations{{Sfn|Gekhtman|Shapiro|Tabachnikov|Vainshtein|2012}}{{Sfn|Glick|Pylyavskyy|2016}} are identified as special cases of discrete dynamical systems powered by [[w:cluster algebra|cluster algebra]]. This provides a link with the [[w:Poisson–Lie group|Poisson–Lie group]]s, [[w:dimer model|dimer model]]s and other so-called cluster-integrable systems.{{Sfn|Fock|Marshakov|2016}} These methods allow to retrieve the Poisson-bracket and Hamiltonians used to prove complete integrability{{Sfn|Affolter|George|Ramassamy|2025|loc=§5 The pentagram map}} and provide [[w:Lax representation|Lax representation]]s.{{Sfn|Izosimov|2022b}}
=== Singularity theory ===
The pentagram map exhibit a property called singularity confinement, which is typical from [[w:integrable system|integrable system]]s.{{Sfn|Grammaticos|Ramani|Papageorgiou|1991}} It states that if a polygon <math>P</math> is [[w:Singular point of an algebraic variety|singular]] for the pentagram map <math>T</math>, then there exists an integer <math>m</math> such that <math>P</math> not singular for the iterate map <math>T^m</math>.{{Sfn|Glick|2012}}
Moreover, the pentagram map (along with some of its generalizations and other discrete dynamical systems) exhibit the Devron property.{{Efn|The name comes from an episode of [[w:Star Trek|Star Trek]].{{Sfn|Glick|2015|loc=§1 Introduction}}}} This means that if a polygon <math>P</math> is singular for some iterate of the pentagram map <math>T^m</math>, then it will also be singular for some iterate of the inverse map <math>T^{-m'}</math>.{{Sfn|Glick|2015}}
== Generalizations ==
The definition of twisted polygons still makes sense in any [[w:projective space|projective space]] <math>\mathbb P^d</math>, under the action of the [[w:Projective linear group|projective group]] <math>\mathbb P \mathrm{GL}_{d+1}</math>. The pentagram map can be generalized in many ways, and some of them are presented here. Not all of them are integrable.{{Sfn|Khesin|Soloviev|2015|}} Some are [[w:discretization|discretization]]s of [[w:PDEs|PDEs]] from the [[w:KdV hierarchy|KdV hierarchy]], seen as higher dimensional version of [[w:Boussinesq approximation (water waves)|Boussinesq]] or [[w:Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation|KP]] equations.{{Sfn|Marí-Beffa|2012}}{{Sfn|Wang|2023}} The description of all generalized pentagram maps in terms of [[w:cluster algebra|cluster algebra]]s is still an open question.{{Sfn|Gekhtman|Izosimov|2025|p=14}}
=== Polygons in general positions ===
Let <math>d \geq 2</math> and <math>P</math> be a twisted polygon of <math>\mathbb P^d</math> in [[w:general position|general position]].
==== Short diagonal pentagram maps ====
The <math>k</math>-th ''short diagonal hyperplane'' <math>H_k^{sh}</math> is uniquely defined by passing through the vertices <math>v_k,v_{k+2},\dots,v_{k+2d-2}</math>. [[w:Generic property#In algebraic geometry|Generically]], the intersection of <math>d</math> consecutive hyperplanes uniquely defines a new point
: <math>T_{sh}v_k:=H_k^{sh}\cap H_{k+1}^{sh}\cap \dots \cap H_{k+d-1}^{sh}.</math>
Doing this for every vertex defines a new twisted polygon. This map, denoted by <math>T_{sh}</math>, is again projectively equivariant.{{Sfn|Khesin|Soloviev|2013}}
==== Generalized pentagram maps ====
The previous procedure can be generalized. Let <math>I=(i_1,\dots,i_{d-1}),~J=(j_1,\dots,j_{d-1})</math> be two sets of integers, respectively called the jump tuple and the intersection tuple. Define the <math>k</math>-th hyperplane <math>H_k^I</math> to be passing through the vertices <math>v_k,v_{k+i_1},\dots,v_{k+i_1+\dots+i_{d-1}}</math>. A new point is given by the intersection
: <math>T_{I,J}v_k:=H_k^I \cap H_{k+j_1}^I \cap \dots \cap H_{k+j_1+\dots +j_{d-1}}^I.</math>
The map <math>T_{I,J}</math> is called a generalized pentagram map.{{Sfn|Khesin|Soloviev|2015a}} The original pentagram map is recovered by considering<math>d=2,~I=(2),~J=(1)</math>.
Integrability can be numerically tested by picking a random polygon <math>P</math> with [[wikipedia:Rational_point|rational coordinates]] and studying the growth rate of the [[wikipedia:Height_function|height]] of its iterates. This is called the [[wikipedia:Integrable_system#Diophantine_integrability|diophantine integrability]] test, and some generalized pentagram maps don't seem to pass it.{{Sfn|Khesin|Soloviev|2015a|loc=§5 and §6}} However, it is conjectured that the maps <math>T_{I,I}</math> are integrable for any <math>I</math>.{{Sfn|Bolsinov|Matveev|Miranda|Tabachnikov|2018|loc=conjecture 4.13 (B. Khesin, F. Soloviev)}}
Some of these maps are [[w:discretization|discretization]]s of higher dimensional counterpart of the [[w:Boussinesq approximation (water waves)|Boussinesq equation]] in the [[w:KdV hierarchy|KdV hierarchy]].{{Sfn|Khesin|Soloviev|2015b|loc=theorem 4.1}}{{Sfn|Izosimov|2022b|loc=theorem 4.1}}
==== Dented pentagram maps ====
Fix an integer <math>m\in \{1,\dots ,d-1\}</math>. Consider the jump tuple <math>I_m:=(1,\dots,1,2,1,\dots,1)</math>, where the <math>2</math> is at the <math>m</math>-th place, and the intersection tuple <math>J:=(1,\dots,1)</math>. The dented pentagram map is <math>T_m :=T_{I_m,J}</math>. They are proved to be integrable.{{Sfn|Khesin|Soloviev|2015b|loc=theorem 2.14}}
For an integer <math>p \geq 2</math>, the deep dented pentagram map (of depth <math>p</math>) <math>T_m^p</math> is the same map as before, but the number <math>2</math> in the definition of <math>I_m</math> is replaced by <math>p</math>. This kind of pentagram maps are again integrable.{{Sfn|Khesin|Soloviev|2015b|loc=theorem 6.2}}
=== Corrugated polygons ===
A twisted polygon <math>P</math> lying in <math>\mathbb P^d</math> is said to be corrugated if for any <math>k\in \mathbb Z</math>, the vertices <math>v_k,v_{k+1},v_{k+d},v_{k+d+1}</math> span a projective two-dimensional plane. Such polygons are not in [[w:general position|general position]]. A new point is defined by
: <math>T_\text{cor}v_k:=\overline{v_k v_{k+d}}\cap \overline{v_{k+1} v_{k+d+1}}.</math>
The map <math>T_\text{cor}</math> yields a new corrugated polygon. They are [[w:Integrable system#Hamiltonian systems and Liouville integrability|completely Liouville-integrable]].{{Sfn|Gekhtman|Shapiro|Tabachnikov|Vainshtein|2012|loc=theorem 4.4}}
In fact, they can be retrieved as some dented pentagram map applied on corrugated polygons.{{Sfn|Khesin|Soloviev|2015b|loc=theorem 5.3}}
=== Grassmannian polygons ===
Let <math>d \geq 3, m \geq 1</math> be integers. The pentagram map can also be generalized to the [[w:Grassmannian|Grassmannian]] space <math>\mathrm{Gr}(m,md)</math>, which consists of <math>m</math>-[[w:Dimension (vector space)|dimensional]] [[w:linear subspace|linear subspace]]s of an <math>md</math>-dimensional [[w:vector space|vector space]]. When <math>m=1</math>, the linear subspaces are [[w:Vector space#vector line|lines]], which retrieves the definition of [[w:projective space|projective space]]s <math>\mathbb P^d</math>.{{Sfn|Felipe|Marí-Beffa|2019|loc=§2 definitions and notations}}
A point <math>v\in\operatorname{Gr}(m,md)</math> is represented by an <math>md \times m</math> matrix <math>X_v</math> such that its columns form a [[w:Basis (linear algebra)|basis]] of <math>v</math>. Consider the [[w:Group action|action]] of the [[w:general linear group|general linear group]] <math>\mathrm{GL}_{md}</math> by multiplication on the left of <math>X_v</math>. This defines an action on the Grassmannian, even though it is not [[w:Faithful action|faithful]].{{Efn|Because there can be many lifts for <math>v</math>, and because some matrices act trivially.}} Hence, the polygons of <math>\mathrm{Gr}(m,md)</math> and their moduli spaces are defined as before, after the change of underlying group.{{Sfn|Felipe|Marí-Beffa|2019|loc=§2 definitions and notations}}
Depending on the parity of <math>d</math>, one can define linear subspaces spanned by some <math>X_{v_k}</math>'s such that taking their intersection generically defines a new point <math>v\in\mathrm{Gr}(m,md)</math>.{{Sfn|Felipe|Marí-Beffa|2019|loc=sections 4 and 5}} This generalization of the pentagram map is integrable in a [[w:noncommutative|noncommutative]] sense.{{Sfn|Ovenhouse|2020}}
=== Over rings ===
The pentagram map admits a generalization by considering [[w:Projective space#Generalizations|projective planes]] over [[w:stably finite ring|stably finite ring]]s, instead of [[w:Field (mathematics)|field]]s. In particular, this retrieves the pentagram map over Grassmannians. Again, it admits a [[w:Lax representation|Lax representation]].{{Sfn|Hand|Izosimov|2025}}

<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.

== 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 ==

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.

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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.
[[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 and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.

[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''characteristic right rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution of this ''great square right rotation of the tesseract'' 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math>
[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.
[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are <math>\sqrt{3}</math> distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the characteristic right rotation of the 16-cell, by 90° in completely orthogonal invariant great square planes, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° of this ''great square right rotation of the 24-cell'' 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 <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math> chord is the 16-cell <math>r_3</math> chord. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>r_3</math> chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>r_5=\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon right revolution requires 720° like a complete square right revolution, but it is completed in 12 right displacements of 60° each rather than 8 right displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell the characteristic right rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° right rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:
:<math>r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209</math>
:<math>r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416</math>

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the characteristic right rotation of the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant great square planes over <math>r_8=\sqrt{2}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. In this ''great square right rotation of the 600-cell'' each 90° right displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The <math>r_8</math> chord is the 16-cell <math>r_3</math> chord. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>r_8</math> chords form a circular helix of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This rotation takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. In this ''great square left rotation of the 600-cell e''ach 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference <math>16\pi</math> with each <math>r_8</math> isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell, by 60° in great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. The <math>r_{5}</math> chord is the 24-cell <math>r_2</math> chord, and the <math>r_{10}</math> chord is the 24-cell <math>r_5</math> chord. In 720° of this ''great hexagon right rotation of the 600-cell'' each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each <math>r_{10}</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_{10}</math> chords form five circular helixes of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''characteristic right rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its pentagram Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular helix of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The right rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 36° right rotational displacement is a one-fifth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over 5 <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane over the 5 edges of a great pentagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a complete right revolution each vertex departs from 5 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 600-cell returns to its original orientation.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''characteristic left rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] <math>c_{t}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

== 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 ==

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.

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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.
[[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 and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.
[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small> performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''characteristic right rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution of this ''great square right rotation of the tesseract'' 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math>
[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are <math>\sqrt{3}</math> distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the characteristic right rotation of the 16-cell, by 90° in completely orthogonal invariant great square planes, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° of this ''great square right rotation of the 24-cell'' 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 <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math> chord is the 16-cell <math>r_3</math> chord. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>r_3</math> chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>r_5=\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon right revolution requires 720° like a complete square right revolution, but it is completed in 12 right displacements of 60° each rather than 8 right displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell the characteristic right rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° right rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:
:<math>r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209</math>

In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>r_8=\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the characteristic right rotation of the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant great square planes over <math>r_8=\sqrt{2}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. In this ''great square right rotation of the 600-cell'' each 90° right displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The <math>r_8</math> chord is the 16-cell <math>r_3</math> chord. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>r_8</math> chords form a circular helix of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This rotation takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. In this ''great square left rotation of the 600-cell e''ach 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell, by 60° in great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. The <math>r_{5}</math> chord is the 24-cell <math>r_2</math> chord, and the <math>r_{10}</math> chord is the 24-cell <math>r_5</math> chord. In 720° of this ''great hexagon right rotation of the 600-cell'' each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each <math>r_{10}</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_{10}</math> chords form five circular helixes of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''characteristic right rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its pentagram Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular helix of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The right rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 36° right rotational displacement is a one-fifth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over 5 <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane over the 5 edges of a great pentagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a complete right revolution each vertex departs from 5 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 600-cell returns to its original orientation.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''characteristic left rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] <math>c_{t}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

<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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.
[[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 and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.
[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small> performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''characteristic right rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution of this ''great square right rotation of the tesseract'' 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math>
[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.
[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are <math>\sqrt{3}</math> distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the characteristic right rotation of the 16-cell, by 90° in completely orthogonal invariant great square planes, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° of this ''great square right rotation of the 24-cell'' 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 <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math> chord is the 16-cell <math>r_3</math> chord. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>r_3</math> chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon right revolution requires 720° like a complete square right revolution, but it is completed in 12 right displacements of 60° each rather than 8 right displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell the characteristic right rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° right rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the characteristic right rotation of the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant great square planes over <math>r_8=\sqrt{2}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. In this ''great square right rotation of the 600-cell'' each 90° right displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The <math>r_8</math> chord is the 16-cell <math>r_3</math> chord. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>r_8</math> chords form a circular helix of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This rotation takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. In this ''great square left rotation of the 600-cell e''ach 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference <math>16\pi</math> with each <math>r_8</math> isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell, by 60° in great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. The <math>r_{5}</math> chord is the 24-cell <math>r_2</math> chord, and the <math>r_{10}</math> chord is the 24-cell <math>r_5</math> chord. In 720° of this ''great hexagon right rotation of the 600-cell'' each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each <math>r_{10}</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_{10}</math> chords form five circular helixes of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''characteristic right rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its pentagram Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular helix of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The right rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 36° right rotational displacement is a one-fifth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over 5 <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane over the 5 edges of a great pentagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a complete right revolution each vertex departs from 5 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 600-cell returns to its original orientation.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''characteristic left rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] <math>c_{t}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

<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.

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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.
[[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 and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.
[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small> performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''characteristic great square rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution of this ''great square rotation of the tesseract'' 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math>
[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.
[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are <math>\sqrt{3}</math> distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the characteristic great square rotation of the 16-cell, by 90° in completely orthogonal invariant great square planes, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° of this ''great square rotation of the 24-cell'' 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 <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math> chord is the 16-cell <math>r_3</math> chord. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>r_3</math> chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>r_5=\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic great hexagon rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon revolution requires 720° like a complete square revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell the characteristic great hexagon rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:
:<math>r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209</math>

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>r_8=\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the characteristic great square rotation of the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant great square planes over <math>\text{16-cell-}r_3=\sqrt{2}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° right displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>\text{16-cell-}r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular helix of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This rotation takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. In this ''great square left rotation of the 600-cell e''ach 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference <math>16\pi</math> with each <math>r_8</math> isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the characteristic right rotation of the 24-cell, by 60° in great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. The <math>r_{5}</math> chord is the 24-cell <math>r_2</math> chord, and the <math>r_{10}</math> chord is the 24-cell <math>r_5</math> chord. In 720° of this ''great hexagon right rotation of the 600-cell'' each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each <math>r_{10}</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_{10}</math> chords form five circular helixes of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''characteristic right rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its pentagram Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular helix of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The right rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 36° right rotational displacement is a one-fifth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over 5 <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane over the 5 edges of a great pentagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a complete right revolution each vertex departs from 5 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 600-cell returns to its original orientation.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''characteristic left rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

<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.

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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.
[[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 and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.
[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small> performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''characteristic great square rotation of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 completely orthogonal invariant square central planes, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution of this ''great square rotation of the tesseract'' 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math>
[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.
[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are <math>\sqrt{3}</math> distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the characteristic great square rotation of the 16-cell, by 90° in completely orthogonal invariant great square planes, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° of this ''great square rotation of the 24-cell'' 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 <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math> chord is the <math>\text{16-cell-}r_3</math> chord. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>r_3</math> chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>r_5=\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''characteristic great hexagon rotation of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon revolution requires 720° like a complete square revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell the characteristic great hexagon rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:
:<math>r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209</math>
:<math>r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416</math>

:<math>r_{13}=2 \cos (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.956</math>
:<math>r_{14}=2 \cos (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.989</math>
:<math>r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}</math>
Only the chord lengths <math>r_3</math>, <math>r_5</math>, <math>r_6</math>, <math>\sqrt{2}</math>, <math>r_9</math>, <math>r_{10}</math>, <math>r_{12}</math>, <math>r_{15}</math> occur in the 600-cell, which is a construct of 24 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>r_3</math>, six of which intersect in each icosahedral vertex figure. In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the characteristic great square rotation of the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant great square planes over <math>\text{16-cell-}r_3=\sqrt{2}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° isoclinic displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>\text{16-cell-}r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This rotation takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. In this ''great square left rotation of the 600-cell e''ach 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference <math>16\pi</math> with each <math>r_8</math> isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the characteristic great hexagon rotation of the 24-cell, by 60° in great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. The <math>r_{5}</math> chord is the <math>\text{24-cell-}r_2</math> chord, and the <math>r_{10}</math> chord is the <math>\text{24-cell-}r_4</math> chord. In 720° of this ''great hexagon rotation of the 600-cell'' each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_{10}</math> chords form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''characteristic great decagon rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its pentagram Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 36° isoclinic rotational displacement is a one-fifth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over 5 <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane over the 5 edges of a great pentagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a complete isoclinic revolution each vertex departs from 5 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 600-cell returns to its original orientation.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''characteristic left rotation of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] <math>c_{t}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

<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.

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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.
[[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 and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.
[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small> performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the great square right rotation, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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:

The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° 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 <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math> chord is the <math>\text{16-cell-}r_3</math> chord. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>r_3</math> chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its <math>r_{2}</math> edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon right revolution requires 720° like a complete square right revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell a great hexagon right rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==

Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant great square planes over <math>\text{16-cell-}r_3=\sqrt{2}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° right displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>\text{16-cell-}r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This ''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference <math>16\pi</math> with each <math>r_8</math> isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, by 60° in great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. The <math>r_{5}</math> chord is the <math>\text{24-cell-}r_2</math> chord, and the <math>r_{10}</math> chord is the <math>\text{24-cell-}r_4</math> chord. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_{10}</math> chords form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon right rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each 144° <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The right rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 36° right rotational displacement is a one-fifth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over 5 <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane over the 5 edges of a great pentagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a complete right revolution each vertex departs from 5 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 600-cell returns to its original orientation.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] <math>c_{t}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

<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.

== 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.

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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.
[[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 and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.
[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small> performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the great square right rotation, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math>
[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.
[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are <math>\sqrt{3}</math> distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° 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 <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math> chord is the <math>\text{16-cell-}r_3</math> chord. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>r_3</math> chords form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>r_5=\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its <math>r_{2}</math> edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon right revolution requires 720° like a complete square right revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell a great hexagon right rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant great square planes over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° right displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This ''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference <math>16\pi</math> with each <math>r_8</math> isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, by 60° in great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. The <math>r_{5}</math> chord is the <math>\text{24-cell-}r_2</math> chord, and the <math>r_{10}</math> chord is the <math>\text{24-cell-}r_4</math> chord. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_{10}</math> chords form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon right rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each 144° <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The right rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 36° right rotational displacement is a one-fifth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over 5 <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane over the 5 edges of a great pentagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a complete right revolution each vertex departs from 5 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 600-cell returns to its original orientation.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] <math>c_{t}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

<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.

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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.
[[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 and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.

[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the great square right rotation, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math>
[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.
[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are <math>\sqrt{3}</math> distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>r_3=\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° 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 rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>r_5=\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its <math>r_{2}</math> edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon right revolution requires 720° like a complete square right revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell a great hexagon right rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:
:<math>r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209</math>
:<math>r_2=2 \sin (\tfrac{2\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.416</math>

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, by 90° in two completely orthogonal invariant great square planes over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° right displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This ''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference <math>16\pi</math> with each <math>r_8</math> isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, by 60° in great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{10}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. The <math>r_{5}</math> chord is the <math>\text{24-cell-}r_2</math> chord, and the <math>r_{10}</math> chord is the <math>\text{24-cell-}r_4</math> chord. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_{10}</math> chords form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon right rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each 144° <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The right rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 36° right rotational displacement is a one-fifth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over 5 <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane over the 5 edges of a great pentagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a complete right revolution each vertex departs from 5 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 600-cell returns to its original orientation.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] <math>c_{t}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

== 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 ==

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.

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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.
[[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 and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.
[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small> performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the great square right rotation, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math>
[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are <math>\sqrt{3}</math> distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]

We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° 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 rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its <math>r_{2}</math> edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon right revolution requires 720° like a complete square right revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell a great hexagon right rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:
:<math>r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209</math>

:<math>r_{14}=2 \cos (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.989</math>

In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° right displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This ''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference <math>16\pi</math> with each <math>r_8</math> isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_{10}</math> chords form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon right rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each 144° <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The right rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 36° right rotational displacement is a one-fifth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over 5 <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane over the 5 edges of a great pentagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a complete right revolution each vertex departs from 5 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 600-cell returns to its original orientation.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] <math>c_{t}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

<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.

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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.
[[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 and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.
[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small> performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the great square right rotation, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math>
[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.
[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are <math>\sqrt{3}</math> distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° 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 rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its <math>r_{2}</math> edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon right revolution requires 720° like a complete square right revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell a great hexagon right rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:

:<math>r_{14}=2 \cos (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 1.989</math>
:<math>r_{15}=2 \sin (\pi/2)=\sqrt{4}</math>
Only the chord lengths <math>r_3</math>, <math>r_5</math>, <math>r_6</math>, <math>\sqrt{2}</math>, <math>r_9</math>, <math>r_{10}</math>, <math>r_{12}</math>, <math>r_{15}</math> occur in the 600-cell, which is a construct of 24 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>r_3</math>, six of which intersect in each icosahedral vertex figure. In the skew {30}-gons the chord lengths are:

Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° right displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This ''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference <math>16\pi</math> with each <math>r_8</math> isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, by 60° in great hexagon planes, over <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon right rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each 144° <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The right rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 36° right rotational displacement is a one-fifth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over 5 <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane over the 5 edges of a great pentagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a complete right revolution each vertex departs from 5 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 600-cell returns to its original orientation.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] <math>c_{t}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

<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.

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.

[[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 5<sup>2</sup> 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 5<sup>2</sup> (75) disjoint instances of itself in the 600-point (120-cell), which contains 3<sup>2</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (225) distinct instances of the 24-point (24-cell), and 3<sup>3</sup> times 5<sup>2</sup> (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.

== The 16-cell 4-orthoplex ==
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 1.848,r_3=\sqrt{2}+1 \approx 2.414,r_4=\sqrt{4 + \sqrt{8}} \approx 2.613</math>
The chord ratio <math>r_3=\sqrt{2}+1</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 0.414</math>
Note that <math>r_3-2=1/r_3=\sqrt{2}-1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over three <math>r_3</math> chords of an {8/3} octagram. Over the first <math>r_3</math> chord the displacement is <math>\sqrt{2}+r_1</math>. Over the second <math>r_3</math> chord it moves in the opposite direction a distance of <math>-r_1</math> . Over the third <math>r_3</math> chord it moves a distance of <math>-r_1</math>.
If we embed the 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:

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 <math>1/\sqrt{2}</math>.

All 24 edges are the same length and none lie parallel to the projection plane. The octagon circumference is a Petrie polygon. The two disjoint squares lie in completely orthogonal central planes. The blue octagram is a Clifford polygon. ]]
The [[16-cell]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small>. 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]].{{Efn|name=Petrie polygon of a honeycomb}} 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-[[w:Cross-polytope|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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the 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 0.765,r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2+\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.848,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.
Since the edges of the 16-cell are all the same length <math>r_1=\sqrt{2},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{2}</math>, those chords are distinct only in the context of a rotation. Each chord is a 4-vector with a length and a direction. The rotational curve over each <math>r_i</math> chord makes <math>i</math> 45° turns.
[[File:16-cell-orig.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 8-point 16-cell <small><math>\{3,3,4\}</math></small> performing a double rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}}]]
[[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 [[W:SO(4)#Double rotations|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 completely orthogonal 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 <math>r_1</math> chords of the 16-cell form a Petrie polygon which zig-zags back and forth, in the left and right rotational directions, between two completely orthogonal great squares formed by <math>r_2</math> chords.
The <math>r_2</math> chords of two completely orthogonal great squares lie parallel and perpendicular to each other. A ''simple'' rotation of the 16-cell in ''one'' of those two square central planes rotates that square like a wheel, while the other square does not move.{{Efn|name=simple rotations}} The four vertices of the rotating square orbit on a great circle in the plane.
The <math>r_3</math> chords of the 16-cell form a circular helix, visible as a blue {8/3} octagram in the orthogonal projection. A ''double'' rotation of the 16-cell, in both of two completely orthogonal invariant <math>r_2</math> square planes at once by equal angles, moves the eight vertices along the circular helix over the <math>r_3</math> chords. The vertex motion is a [[w:Geodesic|geodesic]] circle orbit on the 3-sphere of a special kind: it does not lie in a central plane, its [[w:Winding_number|winding number]] is not 1 (it is 3 in this case), its circumference is not <math>2\pi</math>, and it moves in either a left or right handed circular spiral. We shall refer to such a chiral circle orbit as an ''isocline'', and to the skew polygram of its rotational chords as a ''Clifford polygon''.
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 great square to its completely orthogonal great square in a twisting displacement, as the invariant planes tilt sideways 90° into each other's plane while rotating 90° internally. All the vertices move at once along the same circular helix geodesic isocline of <math>r_3</math> chords, 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. The rotational curve over each 90° <math>r_3</math> chord makes three 45° turns. In 360° of isoclinic rotation over four <math>r_3</math> chords, each vertex makes six 90° turns and 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 an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over eight <math>r_3</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the four <math>r_2</math> edges of a great square in one of the two moving invariant rotation planes. In the course of a 720° isoclinic revolution 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.
Because this is the isoclinic rotation of the 16-cell in its invariant great circle edge planes we shall refer to it as the ''great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell'', and note once again that it is Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_3</math> star polygon, which constructs <math>1/r_3</math>.
== The 8-cell tesseract ==
The long diameter of the unit-edge [[W:Hypercube|hypercube]] of dimension <math>n</math> is <math>\sqrt{n}</math>, 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 [[w:Cuboctahedron|cuboctahedron]] and the 24-cell are also radially equilateral.
[[File:8-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 16-point (8-cell) tesseract <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation about a plane in 4-space.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The stationary plane bisects the figure from front-left to back-right and top to bottom.]]
The [[W:Tesseract|tesseract]] is the [[W:Regular convex 4-polytope|regular convex 4-polytope]] with [[W:Schläfli symbol|Schläfli symbol]] <small><math>\{4,3,3\}</math></small>. 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 <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 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 the great square right rotation, with the same effect on both alternate-position 16-cells. In the course of a 720° revolution 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 two skew {8/3} octagram Clifford polygons lie on two disjoint parallel isoclines of the same chirality, of circumference <math>6\pi</math> over <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chords. They form a circular double helix which intersects each vertex of the tesseract once.
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. 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 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.|name=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 ==
[[File:24-cell vertex geometry.png|thumb|Planar geometry of the radially equilateral 24-cell, showing its 3 great circle polygons and its 4 chord lengths.]]
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 12 cuboctahedron central hyperplanes and 16 hexagonal central planes.
The [[24-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small>. 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=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{2},r_3=\sqrt{3},r_4=\sqrt{4}</math>
[[Image:24-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 24-point 24-cell <small><math>\{3,4,3\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2007}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 24 octahedra is visible.]]
The 24-cell is [[W:Dual polytope|self-dual]], like the regular polygons and regular simplexes. It is the maximal regular construct of triangles and squares (with no pentagons). It 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 120° apart by a <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chord. Each tesseract has 8 cube cells, and each cube has four <math>\sqrt{3}</math> long diameters. The <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords joining the corresponding vertices of two tesseracts belong to the third tesseract as cell long diameters.
The 24-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular dodecagon {12}, which has chords:
:<math>r_1=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}-1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 0.518,r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\tfrac{\sqrt{3}+1}{\sqrt{2}} \approx 1.932,r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Fontaine and Hurley's procedure for obtaining the reciprocal of a chord tells us that:
:<math>r_5-r_3+r_1+r_1-r_3=1/r_5</math>
when <math>r_1=1</math>. The procedure rotates counterclockwise over five <math>r_5</math> chords of a {12/5} dodecagram. In the system of unit-radius coordinates <math>r_1=1/r_5</math>.
The <math>r_1</math> and <math>r_5</math> chords of the planar dodecagon do not occur in the 24-cell, which is a construct of eight skew dodecagons with disjoint sets of twelve <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges each. In the skew dodecagons the chord lengths are:
:<math>r_1=\sqrt{1},r_2=\sqrt{1},r_3=\sqrt{2},r_4=\sqrt{3},r_5=\sqrt{3},r_6=\sqrt{4}</math>
Where chords are the same length, they are distinct only in the context of a rotation.
[[File:dodecagon24cell.png|thumb|Orthogonal projection of half a 24-cell to the [[24-cell#Geodesics|F<sub>4</sub> Coxeter plane]]. Only one Petrie dodecagon {12} of the 24-cell is shown. In a unit-radius 24-cell, all black lines are 24-cell edges of unit length, also tesseract edges. The two disjoint hexagons lie in Clifford parallel central planes. Blue chords are <math>\sqrt{2}</math> 16-cell edges, also isocline chords in square rotations. Green chords are <math>\sqrt{3}</math> distances between corresponding vertices of two 16-cells, also isocline chords in hexagon rotations. The green {12/5} dodecagram is a Clifford polygon.]]
[[File:Regular_star_figure_3(8,3).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/9}=3{8/3} <small><math>\sqrt{2}</math></small>]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, with the same effect on all three 16-cells. In 720° 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 rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Three Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular triple helix {24/9}=3{8/3} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
[[File:Regular star figure 2(12,5).svg|thumb|left|150px|{24/10}=2{12/5} <small><math>\sqrt{3}</math></small> ]]
We can rotate the 24-cell isoclinically in 4 Clifford parallel invariant great hexagon planes containing its <math>r_{2}</math> edges, over <math>r_{5}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords. This is the ''great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell'', also Fontaine and Hurley's rotation over the <math>r_5</math> star polygon which constructs <math>1/r_5</math>. A complete hexagon right revolution requires 720° like a complete square right revolution, but it is completed in 12 isoclinic displacements of 60° each rather than 8 isoclinic displacements of 90° each. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_5</math> chord makes five 30° turns. Two Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over <math>r_5</math> chords form a circular double helix {24/10}=2{12/5} that intersects each 24-cell vertex once.
In the 24-cell a great hexagon right rotation by 60° in any invariant hexagon central plane takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 60° while rotating 60° internally. It also takes every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The 16-cells revolve within the 24-cell as well as rotating within it. All 24 vertices move at once on two Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 120° in different directions.
The trajectory of each vertex over each 60° rotational displacement is a one-twelfth segment of its geodesic orbit. Its entire orbit traces an isocline circle in 4-space of circumference <math>10\pi</math> over twelve <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords, and also traces an ordinary great circle in the plane twice, over the six <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of a great hexagon in a moving invariant rotation plane. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions just once and returns to its original position, and the 24-cell returns to its original orientation.
== The 600-cell ==
[[Image:600-cell.gif|thumb|Orthographic projection of the 120-point 600-cell <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small> performing a simple rotation.{{Sfn|Hise|2011}} The 3-dimensional surface made of 600 tetrahedra is visible. Invisible in this rendering are 25 inscribed instances of the 24-cell (above), which occur in the 600-cell as interior boundary envelopes.]]
The [[600-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{3,3,5\}</math></small>. It has 120 vertices, 720 edges, 1200 equilateral triangle faces, and 600 tetrahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the icosahedron.
The 600-cell rounds out the 24-cell by adding 96 more vertices (four more disjoint 24-cells) between the 24-cell's existing 24 vertices, in effect adding twenty-four more distinct 24-cells inscribed in the 600-cell. The new surface thus formed is a honeycomb of smaller, more numerous cells: tetrahedra of edge length <math>\phi^{-1} \approx 0.618</math> instead of octahedra of edge length <math>\sqrt{1}</math>. It encloses the <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edges of the 24-cells, which become invisible interior chords in the 600-cell, like the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> chords.
Since the tetrahedra are made of shorter triangle edges than the octahedra (by a factor of <math>\phi^{-1}</math>, the inverse golden ratio), the 600-cell is not radially equilateral like the 24-cell and the tesseract. Like them it is radially triangular in a special way, but one in which [[w:Golden_triangle_(mathematics)|golden triangles]] rather than equilateral triangles meet at the center.
In 2-space we have the ''radially golden'' [[W:Decagon#The golden ratio in decagon|regular decagon]]. In 3-space we have the radially golden 30-point [[W:icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]], with 6 decagon central planes. In 4-space we have the radially golden 120-point 600-cell, with 60 icosidodecahedron central hyperplanes and 72 decagon central planes.
The 600-cell's Petrie polygon is the regular [[w:Triacontagon|triacontagon {30}]]. The unit-radius planar {30}-gon has these distinct chords:
:<math>r_1=2 \sin (\tfrac{\pi}{15}/2) \approx 0.209</math>

The list of 600-cell chords <math>r_{i}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 8 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. The short chord and long chord each have their characteristic {30/n}-gon. Each row identifies a discrete isoclinic rotation of the 600-cell in invariant central planes containing the edges of the short chord {30}-gon, over the isocline chords of the long chord {30}-gon, the rotation's Clifford polygon.
Each distinct pair of complementary chord lengths is identified with a distinct [[w:600-cell#Polyhedral sections|polyhedral section of the 600-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 7 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>\phi^{-1}</math> is a icosahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>\sqrt{2}</math> is an [[W:Icosidodecahedron|icosidodecahedron]] central section bisecting the 600-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>\sqrt{2}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal icosahedron vertex figure at distance <math>\sqrt{2+\phi}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 7 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section).

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great square right rotation characteristic of the 16-cell, with the same effect on 15 disjoint 16-cells. Each 90° right displacement takes 15 pairs of completely orthogonal invariant great square planes to each other. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from all 8 vertex positions of its 16-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. The rotational curve over each 90° chord makes three 45° turns. Fifteen Clifford parallel {8/3} octagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>6\pi</math> form a circular fibration of 15 twisted parallel strands 5{24/9}=15{8/3} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 90° isoclinic rotation in invariant great square planes, which has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. This ''great square left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' takes place over <math>r_7</math> edge chords and <math>r_8</math> isocline chords. The {30/7} edge polygon is a skew helix of circumference <math>14\pi</math> with each <math>r_7</math> edge belonging to a distinct great square. The four {30/7} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. Each 90° left displacement takes every 16-cell to another 16-cell. The vertices of the invariant great squares each make seven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/7} edge makes seven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/7} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once. The {30/8}=2{15/4} Clifford polygon is a compound of two skew {15/4} pentadecagrams of circumference <math>16\pi</math> with each <math>r_8</math> isocline chord belonging to a distinct 16-cell. The four {30/8} polygrams contribute one edge each to 30 great squares. The rotational curve over each 90° {30/8} isocline chord makes eight 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/8} geodesics of circumference <math>16\pi</math> form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.

We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in the great hexagon right rotation characteristic of the 24-cell, by 60° in great hexagon planes, over <math>\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords, with the same effect on 5 disjoint 24-cells. In the course of a 720° right revolution each vertex departs from 12 vertex positions of its 24-cell just once and returns to its original position, without visiting other vertex positions. Ten Clifford parallel {12/5} dodecagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>10\pi</math> form a circular fibration of ten twisted parallel strands 5{24/10}=10{12/5} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The 600-cell has another distinct 60° isoclinic rotation in invariant great hexagon planes, over <math>r_{4}=\sqrt{1}</math> edge chords and <math>r_{11}=\sqrt{3}</math> isocline chords This ''great hexagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. Its {30/11} Clifford polygon is a skew helix where each <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord is the <math>\sqrt{3}</math> diagonal of a great hexagon of a distinct 24-cell. The vertices of the invariant great hexagons of this rotation each make eleven orbits on a great circle within the moving invariant plane in the course of one complete left revolution. The rotational curve over each 120° <math>r_{11}</math> isocline chord makes eleven 12° turns. Four Clifford parallel {30/11} geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>22\pi</math> over <math>r_{11}</math> chords form a circular quadruple helix that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
We can rotate the 600-cell isoclinically in 12 Clifford parallel invariant decagon central planes, over <math>r_{3}</math> edges and <math>r_{12}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon right rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 5 and takes disjoint 24-cells to each other. The rotational curve over each 144° <math>r_{12}</math> chord of its {5/2} Clifford polygon makes twelve 12° turns. 24 Clifford parallel {5/2} pentagram geodesic isoclines of circumference <math>4\pi</math> over five <math>r_{12}</math> chords form a circular fibration of 24 twisted parallel strands 4{30/12}=24{5/2} that intersects each 600-cell vertex once.
The right rotation of the 600-cell by 36° in any invariant decagon central plane takes every great decagon to a Clifford parallel great decagon in a twisting displacement, as all the central planes tilt sideways 36° while rotating 36° internally. It also takes every great hexagon to a Clifford parallel great hexagon in another 24-cell, and every great square to a Clifford parallel great square in another 16-cell; it takes 24-cells to a non-disjoint 24-cell and 16-cells to a non-disjoint 16-cell in another 24-cell. The 24-cells revolve within the 600-cell, as the 16-cells revolve within the 24-cells. All 120 vertices move at once on four Clifford parallel geodesic isoclines, displaced 144° in different directions.
The 600-cell has another distinct 36° isoclinic rotation in invariant great decagon planes, over <math>r_{2}</math> edges and <math>r_{13}</math> isocline chords. This ''great decagon left rotation characteristic of the 600-cell'' has period 30 and visits every vertex of a 600-cell Petrie polygon. ...

The [[User:Dc.samizdat/Golden chords of the 120-cell#Thirty distinguished distances|list of thirty 120-cell chords]] <math>c_{t}</math> can be rearranged into a table of 16 rows and 2 columns with a pair of 180° complements in each row. This table first appears in [[w:Regular_Polytopes_(book)|''Regular Polytopes'']] (1947),{{Sfn|Coxeter|1973|loc=Table V(v): Simplified sections of {5,3,3} beginning with a vertex|pp=300-301}} where Coxeter identified each row with a distinct [[w:120-cell#Concentric_hulls|polyhedral section of the 120-cell]] beginning with a vertex. In spherical [[w:3-sphere|3-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]], every vertex is the center of a set of 29 concentric polyhedra of increasing radii that nest like [[w:Matryoshka_doll|Russian dolls.]] The smallest polyhedral section at radial distance <math>c_1</math> is a tetrahedron vertex figure, and the largest section at radial distance <math>c_{15}</math> is a central section bisecting the 120-cell. Because [[w:3-sphere|<math>\mathbb{S}^3</math>]] is spherical, at radial distances greater than <math>c_{15}</math> the successive complement-radius polyhedra decrease in size, to the antipodal tetrahedron vertex figure at distance <math>c_{29}</math>. In Euclidean 4-dimensional space <math>\mathbb{R}^4</math>, every vertex is the apex of 29 [[w:Hyperpyramid|polyhedral pyramids]], where the pyramid's lateral edge length is the radial distance and its base polyhedron is the section. Each section lies parallel to a congruent complement-radius section (or coincident with it, in the case of the central section). Each section also lies completely orthogonal to a congruent section.
Only 8 of the 30 chords in the table occur in the 600-cell and the planar {30)-gon. The 120-cell's additional chords arise originally from the regular 5-cell, in its interaction with the other regular 4-polytopes that compound to make the 120-cell. Since all those polytopes except the 5-cell occur in the 600-cell, and the 600-cell and the 120-cell have the same symmetry group, the 5-cell's symmetry group is what's new in the 120-cell.

== Finally the 120-cell ==
The [[120-cell]] is the regular convex 4-polytope with Schläfli symbol <small><math>\{5,3,3\}</math></small>. It has 600 vertices, 1200 edges, 720 pentagon faces, and 120 dodecahedron cells. It is the four-dimensional analogue of the dodecahedron.
The 120-cell is the [[W:Dual polytope|dual polytope]] of the 600-cell. They have the same Petrie polygon, the regular skew triacontagon {30}, but the 120-cell is a construct of 40 Petrie {30}-gons of edge length <math>c_1</math>, two of which intersect in each tetrahedral vertex figure.

== Conclusions ==
Fontaine and Hurley's discovery is more than a geometric formula for the reciprocal of a regular ''n''-polygon diagonal. It also yields the discrete sequence of isocline chords of the characteristic isoclinic rotation of a ''d''-dimensional polytope in its invariant edge planes. 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. [If what is meant by this is its Petrie polygon, it is not quite necessary or possible with respect to the planar polygon chords, e.g. the planar Petrie polygon of the 600-cell does not contain the <math>\sqrt{2}</math> chord. But perhaps it would work if the fit is to the smallest regular skew polygon in the ''d''-space.]
The discovery of a chordal construction for discrete isoclinic rotations generally 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 the 120-cell demonstrates why the connection exists: because polytope sequences generally, from Steinbach's golden chord sequences in polygons, to sequences of star polygons in isoclinic rotations, 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.

Hello,<br>
I imported this page from the Wikipedia article, which I revamped. But since the import, some contributors made helpful comments and edits. I tried to update them all here, but now I stopped and I will just re-import the Wikipedia article when the peer-review process will start. Please notify me when it happens, or re-import it yourself {{=)}}.

This review article is very well-written, mathematically sound and accessible to people outside the field. I only have minor comments below, most of them typos. I recommend publishing the article once the comments are taken into account.
General comment: There are several figures next to the text, but the figures don't seem to be cited in the text. I don't know if this is a journal policy, but it looks a bit unusual to me.
Second sentence of the abstract: there is twice ""a new polygon"". Maybe you could rephrase it in a way to eliminate one of the occurrences. E.g. something like ""It defines a new polygon whose vertices are obtained as the intersection points of the shortest diagonals of the initial polygon.""
End of first paragraph of the abstract: maybe you could already reference Schwartz's original paper here.
Euclidean plane: please capitalize the first letter of ""Euclidean"" throughout the article
Section ""On polygons"": ""Finally, it is possible that two diagonals are parallel and not intersect"" -> ""and don't intersect""
Section ""On the moduli space of polygons"": it is the first time that I see the term ""projectivity"". I checked that it was indeed correct, but in all the talks/articles that I have seen on the topic, people rather used ""up to projective transformations"".
Section ""Historical elements"", last sentence: it is not too clear what that sentence means. The pentagram map pertains to the field of incidence geometry, like these 3 theorems. What are the further similarities ? Further down in the article, in the section ""Pentagons and hexagons"", there is a similar sentence: ""The action of the pentagram map on pentagons and hexagons is similar in spirit to classical configuration theorems in projective geometry such as Pascal's theorem, Desargues's theorem and others"". Is it just the case of pentagons and hexagons that resembles these theorems ?
Section ""Definition of the map"", first paragraph: it looks strange to cite Weinreich's paper to justify the rather obvious fact that the dimension of the space of n-gons is 2n. More generally, for review articles in WikiJournal, what is the purpose of citations ? Providing a source where something is nicely explained ? Or providing the first source to show some result ? In this article, it seems to be rather the former.
Section ""Definition of the map"", second paragraph: ""Taking the intersection of the two..."" -> ""Taking the intersection of two...""
Section ""Twisted polygons"": ""space of twisted n-gon"" -> ""space of twisted n-gons""
""the dynamic"" -> ""the dynamics"" It comes with a final s even though it is singular, e.g. ""the dynamics is integrable""
Section ""Pentagons and hexagons"": ""The two following facts"" -> ""The following two facts""
Section ""Poncelet polygons"": circumbscribed -> circumscribed
Section ""Poncelet polygons"": ""For a convex Poncelet n-gons"" -> n-gon
Section ""ab-coordinates"": I would write ""vertices v_k"" and ""vectors V_k"" rather than ""vertices v_k's"" and ""vectors V_k's""
Section ""As a birational map"": you have twice in a row the word pentagram in the first line
Section ""The scaling symmetry"": ""an s"" -> ""and s"".
Section ""The scaling symmetry"": ""An homogeneous"" -> ""A homogeneous"". Why do you define the notion of weight in this section ? It looks weird because you don't use it immediately, but only towards the end of the next section. It would suggest moving it much closer to the place where you first use it.
Section ""The spectral curve"", last sentence: here you write ""algebraic integrability"". In the next sentence it is called ""algebro-geometric integrability"". I prefer the latter formulation.
Section ""The spectral curve"": ""some renormalization it"" -> missing ""of""
Section ""Algebro-geometric integrability"": ""in term of"" -> terms
Section ""Dimension of the invariant manifold"": ""For a twisted n-gons"" -> ""For twisted n-gons""
Section ""Dimension of the invariant manifold"": what does it mean that the dimension of the invariant tori drops by 3 for closed n-gons ? That it is always n-3 regardless of the parity of n ? Shouldn't invariant tori always be even-dimensional ? Maybe make a separate sentence discussing the closed n-gons case.
Section ""Cluster algebras"": rather than ""special cases of cluster algebra"", I would suggest something like ""special cases of discrete dynamical systems powered by cluster algebras"". Because the pentagram map itself is not a cluster algebra. Also, the mutations of the underlying cluster algebra induced by the pentagram map are only a subset of all possible mutations.
Section ""Generalizations"": ""description ... as cluster algebras"" -> maybe ""in terms of cluster algebras"" ?
Section ""Generalized pentagram maps"": it could be helpful to write that one recovers the original pentagram map by taking d=2, I={2}, J={1}. What surprises me is that for this original pentagram map the set I and J are not equal and yet it is integrable. How is that compatible with the statement that ""the general case is not integrable"" ? Also, just below, the dented pentagram maps provide another class of integrable examples where I and J are not equal. How do you quantify that most cases are not integrable.
Section ""Corrugated polygons"": ""they can retrieved"" -> ""they can be retrieved""
""Grassmannians polygons"" -> ""Grassmannian polygons""
""the space of Grassmannians Gr(m,md)"" -> ""the Grassmannian space Gr(m,md)""
""A point in v"" -> ""A point v""
""general linear group Gl_{md}"" -> ""general linear group GL_{md}""
""faithfull"" -> faithful
""generically define"" -> ""generically defines""
""a new point of v"" -> ""a new point v""
}}
{{response|1 =Hello, and thanks a lot for the thorough review. I am a bit embarrassed by the numerous typos, they are now fixed. I also reformulated many items following your suggestions. There remains two points I need to answer to.
* Indeed, the citation of papers (even for obvious facts) is more frequent than in classical papers. This is because Wikipedia aims to have every statement linked to a reference (see [[w:Wikipedia:Verifiability]]). Some editors take this very seriously (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%20talk:WikiProject%20Mathematics/Archive/2025/Dec this discussion]), so I added citations to almost every paragraphs. I guess it could be mitigated for publication.
* I clarified the statement about the dimension of invariant manifolds for closed polygons, with one more citation. According to it, they will always be odd-dimensional.

This is a very well-written summary of results on the pentagram map, a fascinating topic that deserved a good presentation in the wikipedia universe. The paper is presented in a clear and coherent way, and I believe it is accessible to non-specialists, provided some minimal background in projective geometry. As far as I could check, the claims are supported by the plentiful references, and they give a good overview of the topic, its history, connections to various topics in mathematics, and modern perspectives.
As a general remark, I think the special property of the map T on the spaces of pentagons and hexagons, stated in Section "Periodic orbits on the moduli space", could be stated earlier in the paper, possibly in an informal way. They are quite striking and, in my opinion, motivate the study of the generic transformation.
Here are a few minor remarks:
- several references to pictures use the phrase "on Figure...", I believe "in Figure..." is more common.
- "its interpretation as a cluster algebra" -> maybe "in terms of a cluster algebra", or something similar, would be more precise.
- On reference [2] by Gekhtman and Izosimov, "Integrable Systems and Cluster Algebras", the link to sciencedirect in "Works cited" doesn't seem to work when I click it. This might be on my side, but please check the URL.
- "for generic polygons on the real projective plane" -> "in" the projective plane seems more common?
- "by taking lines and intersections of them" sound a bit weird to me (but I'm not a native speaker so maybe it's okay)
- maybe at the beginning of Section "Coordinates for the moduli space", announce that these will allow for nice expressions of the map T in those coordinates (as it is done in the following section).
- "This generically makes a quasiperiodic motion." -> "makes" sounds a bit vague to me, maybe "induces a quasiperiodic motion on the corresponding torus" or something.
- In the subsection "Grassmannian polygon", second paragraph, I am a bit confused with notations and conventions. If we represent the vector space $v$ by a basis, and put the vectors in columns, we get a matrix of size $md \times m$ and not $m \times md$ right? And then, the action of $GL_{md}$ you are mentioning is simply multiplication on the left?

This article is an update of the wikipedia page for the pentagram map, which I largely wrote myself. (I wrote almost the entire thing because what had been there initially was not very good.) I think that JB did an excellent job updating the pentagram map page. The article hits the main points : classical geometric results, Arnold-Liouville integrability, algebro-geometric integrability, Lax Pairs, connections to cluster algebras, Glick's result about the collapse point, and various generalizations.

== Future Outlook ==
Despite significant changes to the mental health environment in Sri Lanka, the current legal framework shaping mental health in the country has not been updated since 1956. A Cambridge University Press article detailed many limitations of the Mental Disease Ordinance of 1956, including discrepancies between the legal provisions of involuntary admissions and modern practices, potential exposure to trauma through extra-legal detentions of the mentally ill, and an absence of legal guidelines addressing the restraint of violent patients (https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/bjpsych-international/article/why-are-we-still-living-in-the-past-sri-lanka-needs-urgent-and-timely-reforms-of-its-archaic-mental-health-laws/B18B03DC962CC6F09BC6D7877E390EE4). Participants from Sri Lanka reported in a comparative legislative questionnaire that they felt the mental health laws were "outdated" and descriptions of clinical roles remained ambiguous (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7). A drafted mental health legislation from 2007 includes provisions for human rights, but due to "bureaucratic processes" and a "lack of consensus", an agreement has not been reached for the legislation to be enacted.
These limitations pose challenges to the standardization of patient admissions for mental healthcare and may impact the rights of detained patients. Detained patients may have their human rights violated due to a lack of an up-to-date legal framework, thereby impeding the identification of such violations. Additionally, with the lack of clarity on clinical roles, clinical responsibilities may not be routinely recognized and observed, leading to role confusion and potential legal ramifications<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Dey|first=Sangeeta|last2=Mellsop|first2=Graham|last3=Diesfeld|first3=Kate|last4=Dharmawardene|first4=Vajira|last5=Mendis|first5=Susitha|last6=Chaudhuri|first6=Sreemanti|last7=Deb|first7=Aniruddha|last8=Huq|first8=Nafisa|last9=Ahmed|first9=Helal Uddin|date=2019-10-24|title=Comparing legislation for involuntary admission and treatment of mental illness in four South Asian countries|url=https://ijmhs.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7|journal=International Journal of Mental Health Systems|volume=13|issue=1|pages=67|doi=10.1186/s13033-019-0322-7|issn=1752-4458|pmc=6813093|pmid=31666805}}</ref>.

Without the necessary reforms to advance Sri Lankan mental health legislation, clinicians and vulnerable patients may suffer from a lack of comprehensive oversight.

Among all major civilizations worldwide, China has the most recorded instances of cannibalism.<ref> [美]郑麒来(Key Ray Chong)《中国古代的食人:人吃人行为透视》,中国社会科学出版社, 1994, "中国封建时代的有关(食人习俗的)文字记载是极为丰富的。可以说,中国封建时代的食人习俗证据远比其他时代或其他国家为多"</ref> This entry documented 388 cannibalism cases recorded in 530 instances from the ''Twenty-Five Histories'' ([[w:Twenty-Four Histories|Twenty-Four Histories]] and [[w:Draft History of Qing|Draft History of Qing]]), consistent with prior research <ref name=鄭麒來統計> [美]郑麒来(Key Ray Chong)《中国古代的食人:人吃人行为透视》,中国社会科学出版社,1994年版,第153-154页。</ref>. According to another study, the [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], a comprehensive Chinese encyclopedic work, recorded 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting own flesh to cure parents' illness<ref name=鄭麒來統計/>.
Several factors are generally considered responsible for this prevalence.
* China experienced more famines than any other major civilizations.<ref>邓拓,《中国救荒史》,1937年,“我国灾荒之多,世界罕有,就文献可考的记载来看,从公元前十八世纪,直到公元二十世纪的今日,将近四千年间,几于无年无灾,也几乎无年无荒。西欧学者甚至称我国为‘饥荒的国度’(The Land of Famine)。” </ref>
* China experienced the most frequent and intense conflicts among major civilizations.<ref>秦晖,《中国历史上,何来如此深仇大恨》,“中国秦以后历代王朝的寿命不但比‘封建’时代的周‘王朝’和欧洲、日本的宗主王系(不是dynasty)短很多,其‘改朝换代’的巨大破坏性更几乎是人类历史上独有的。……世界史上别的民族有遭到外来者屠杀而种族灭绝的,有毁灭于庞贝式的自然灾变的,但像中国这样残忍的自相残杀确实难找他例。”</ref> <ref> 福山《政治秩序的起源》,2014年,广西师范大学出版社,第7章,“与其他军事化社会相比,周朝的中国异常残暴。有个估计,秦国成功动员了其总人口的8%到20%,而古罗马共和国的仅1%,希腊提洛同盟的仅5.2%,欧洲早期现代则更低”</ref>
* Specific cultural beliefs developed in China, including:
** Rationalizing cannibalism as a means of expressing animosity<ref>《左传·襄公二十一年》,“然二子者,譬如禽兽,臣食其肉而寝处其皮矣”;岳飞,《满江红》,“壮志饥餐胡虏肉,笑谈渴饮匈奴血”;《三国演义》、《水浒传》多处有吃仇人肉的描写;等等</ref>.
** Attributing medicinal properties to human flesh <ref>唐,陈藏器,《本草拾遗》;明,李时珍,《本草纲目》</ref>.
** Viewing the practice of cutting own flesh to treat elder relatives as a noble demonstration of filial piety<ref> 《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》:“太祖、太宗以来,……刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;”</ref>
* China established a comprehensive official historical record system early on, which remained functional even during periods of significant social chaos, preserving extensive historical documentation.

However, this statistics is incomplete and partially incorrect. It omitted [[:w:Book of Zhou|Book of Zhou]], [[:w:Book of Qi|Book of Southern Qi]], [[:w:Old Book of Tang|Old Book of Tang]], [[:w:New Book of Tang|New Book of Tang]] originally included in the ''Twenty-Five Histories,'' and failed to remove duplicated records in [[:w:History of Ming|History of Ming]].
In addition to previous research, Key-Ray Chong compiled 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting one's own flesh to cure relatives in [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], of which 99% involved women, and 56% of these cases involved daughters-in-law cutting their own flesh for their mothers-in-law. Although this polarization may be the result of intentional selection bias, as both male and female cases of flesh-cutting to cure relatives are well documented in the ''Twenty-Five Histories.''

{{Blockquote|text=Chinese practice of survival cannibalism does not significantly differ from that of other cultures; However, "learned cannibalism''(習得性食人)''" in China earned unique characteristics, particularly in its historical prevalence and specific motivations.
Unlike many other regions, where religion played a central role in cannibalistic rituals, Chinese practices were largely secular, often driven by two emotional extremes: '''Virtue and Affection''', including acts performed out of loyalty (尽忠), filial piety (尽孝), or deep love. '''Vengeance and Hatred''', on the other hand, are acts performed for revenge (報仇), to wash away shames (雪恥), or out of pure animosity. To give an example, During wartimes, cannibalism was frequently practiced as a symbolic and literal act of consuming the enemy, rooted in deep-seated hatred.
It is worth noting that ''learned cannibalism'' was also associated with '''culinary appreciation''' or '''medicinal therapy''' among the upper classes. Human flesh was perceived as both a food source and a potent medicine, especially valued for enhancing sexual function. For example, Li Shizhen's [[:w:Compendium of Materia Medica|Compendium of Materia Medica]] listed 35 human organs or substances used for medicinal purposes.}}
==Xia, Zhou and Shang Dynasty==
Note that early Chinese history often blends myth with oral tradition. While these records lack contemporary archeological evidence, they are also historically significant as they reflect how later generations conceptualized the origins of social norms including cannibalism.
# c. 1940 BCE, Xia Dynasty
#: '''English:''' He [Houyi] relied on his archery and neglected civil affairs... The family retainers killed and boiled him, and fed him to his sons. His sons could not bear to eat him and died at city gate.
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-cn|「……(后羿)恃其射也,不修民事而淫於原獸,棄武羅、伯因、熊髡、圉而用寒浞。……羿猶不悛,將歸自田,家眾殺而亨之。以食其子;其子不忍食諸,死於窮門。」}}
#: '''Source:''' ''Zuo Zhuan'', Chapter of Duke Xiang (《左傳·襄公》)
# Reign of [[:w:King Weng of Zhou|King Weng of Zhou]], c.1112-1050 BCE
#: '''English:''' According to ''Diwang Shiji''(The Century of Emperors), [King] Zhou imprisoned King Wen(of Zhou Dynasty). King Wen's eldest son, Boyi Kao, was serving as a hostage in Yin and acted as a charioteer for King Zhou. King Zhou boiled [Boyi Kao] to make a meat soup and presented it to King Wen, saying: "''A true sage should not eat a soup made of his own son.''"
#: King Wen ate it. King Zhou then remarked, "Who was it said the Earl of the West (King Wen) was a sage? He ate a soup made of his own son without even realizing it."
#: '''Original:''' 「《帝王世紀》云,(紂)囚文王,文王之長子曰伯邑考,質於殷,為紂御。紂烹為羮,賜文王曰:聖人當不食其子羮。文王食之,紂曰,誰謂西伯聖者,食其子羮尚不知也。」

== Spring and Autumn / Warring States Periods ==
The [[:w:Spring and Autumn period|Spring and Autumn]] and [[:w:Warring States period|Warring States]] periods (approx. 770–221 BC) marked a significant era where cannibalism was documented under various social and political motivations. Famous Chinese idioms such as "exchanging children to eat" (''易子而食'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) and "eating the flesh and sleeping on the skin" (''食肉寝皮'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) both originated during this time.
Cases of cannibalism during this period can be categorized into four dominant motivations.
# '''Warfare and Siege Famines:''' The most frequent cause. During prolonged sieges, resources were so depleted that citizens resorted to "exchanging children to eat" to avoid consuming their own offspring.
# '''Political motivation:''' A famous case is Yi Ya (易牙), who steamed his own son to serve as a delicacy to Duke Huan of Qi to prove his absolute loyalty.
# '''Intimidation:''' Cannibalism was used as a tool of terror or vengeance. Examples include the Di people killing and eating Duke Yi of Wei(''狄人殺食衛懿公''), or the Ruler of Zhongshan boiling the son of the his own general, Yue Yang(''中山君烹樂羊子''), to test his loyalty.
# '''Cultural customs:''' Early records mention peripheral groups, such as the "People-Eating Kingdom" (啖人國), though these may be the result of Han-centric view of "barbaric" outsiders.
While the [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]] records at least 15 major natural famines, there are no explicit records of cannibalism resulting from "natural" disasters during this specific period.
However, historians often note that the absence of such records does not necessarily prove the absence of the practice; rather, it may reflect the selective focus bias on military and political events over lower-class sufferings.
=== Before Warring State period ===
# The practice of "Yi Di" (''宜弟'')
#: '''English''': In the ancient past, there was a kingdom called Kaishu to the east of Yue. When a first-born son was born, they would dismember and eat him. The practice is called "Yi Di" (meaning "benefiting the younger brothers").
#: '''Original:''' 昔者越之東有輆沭之國者,其長子生,則解而食之,謂之「宜弟」。
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Mozi|Mozi(Book)]]'', "Moderation in Funerals" (《墨子·節葬下》)
# Critique of "Yi Di", by Mozi
#: '''English:''' Luyang Wenjun said to Mozi: "South of Chu, there is a kingdom of man-eaters called Qiao. When a first-born son is born, they butcher and eat him, calling it 'Yi Di.' If the meat is flavorful, they present it to their ruler, who rewards the father. Is this not a detestable custom?"
#: Mozi replied: "Even the customs of the Central Kingdoms are similar. How is killing a father and rewarding his son any different from eating a son and rewarding his father? If we do not govern by Benevolence and Righteousness, how can we criticize the barbarians for eating their sons?"
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-tw|魯陽文君語子墨子曰:「楚之南有啖人之國者橋,其國之長子生,則鮮而食之,謂之宜弟。美,則以遺其君,君喜則賞其父。豈不惡俗哉?」子墨子曰:「雖中國之俗,亦猶是也。殺其父而賞其子,何以異食其子而賞其父者哉?苟不用仁義,何以非夷人食其子也?」}}
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Mozi|Mozi(Book)]]'', "Lu Wen" (《墨子·魯問》)
# Ethnographic Records of the Wuhu
#: '''English:''' To the west of the Nanman (Southern Barbarians) lies the Kingdom of Man-eaters, named [[:w:Cochin|Cochin]](Crossed rivers). There, man and woman bath in the same river, thus the name.
#: It is their custom to always dismember and eat the first-born son, calling it "Yi Di." If the taste is delicious, they offer it to their ruler, who in turn rewards the father. Furthermore, if a man marries a beautiful wife, he offer her to his elder brother. These people are known today as the Wuhu.
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-tw|其西有啖人國,生首子輒解而食之,謂之宜弟。味旨,則以遺其君,君喜而賞其父。取妻美,則讓其兄。今烏滸人是也。}}

# During reigns of Duke Huan of Qi (''齊桓公'', r. 685–643 BCE)
#: '''English''': During the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, Yi Ya served the Duke as his personal chef. The Duke once said that he had never tasted steamed infant. Upon hearing this, Yi Ya steamed his own firstborn son and presented the dish to the Duke. Human nature is such that one loves one's own children; yet he who does not love his own son. Then, what he would do to his own lord?
#: '''Original:''' 夫易牙以调和事(齐桓)公,公曰"惟蒸婴儿之未尝",于是蒸其首子而献之公。人情非不爱其子也,于子之不爱,将何有于公?

#: '''English''': The people of Song, fearing for their lives, sent Hua Yuan on a secret night mission into the Chu encampment. He climbed into the bed of Zi Fan and roused him, saying: "Our lord has sent me, Yuan, to convey our dire situation: our city is reduced to trading children for food and splitting bones for fuel. Even so, a covenant made beneath the city walls — one that would mean the ruin of our state — we cannot accept. Withdraw thirty li (''unit of length, approx. 3 kilometers long)'' from us, and we will obey every command."

# c. 500 BCE: Zhi the Robber (''盜跖'')
#: '''English''': Confucius and Liuxia Ji were friends; Liuxia Ji's younger brother was named Zhi the Robber. Zhi the Robber commanded a following of nine thousand men, swept through the empire with impunity, plundering the various lords.
#: He stormed into dwellings, stole cattle and horses, and abducted women. Driven by greed, he cast aside all bonds of kinship, disregarding his parents and siblings, and made no offerings to his ancestors.
#: Wherever his forces passed, large states fortified their walls and small states withdrew into strongholds, and all the people suffered greatly. [...] At that time, Zhi the Robber was resting his men on the southern slope of Mount Tai, mincing human livers and eating them.
#: '''Original:''' 孔子与柳下季为友,柳下季之弟名曰盗跖。盗跖从卒九千人,横行天下,侵暴诸侯;穴室枢户,驱人牛马,取人妇女;贪得忘亲,不顾父母兄弟,不祭先祖。所过之邑,大国守城,小国入保,万民苦之。……盗跖乃方休卒徒太山之阳,脍人肝而餔之。

#: Marquis Wen of Wei said to his advisor Du Shize: "Yue Yang, for my sake, ate the flesh of his own son." Du replied: "One who can eat his own son's flesh. Who would he not eat?" After Yue Yang had pacified Zhongshan, Marquis Wen rewarded his achievement but harbored doubts about his character.
#: '''Original:''' 乐羊为魏将而攻中山。其子在中山,中山之君烹其子而遗之羹,乐羊坐于幕下而啜之,尽一杯。文侯谓睹师赞曰:"乐羊以我之故,食其子之肉。"赞对曰:"其子之肉尚食之,其谁不食?"乐羊既罢中山,文侯赏其功而疑其心。

==Han Dynasty==
The wars between the Qin and Han dynasties caused large-scale famine and population decline across China, a pattern that would recur with nearly every subsequent dynastic transition.
# Early Han Dynasty: Famine and Cannibalism Following the Collapse of Qin
#: '''English''': At the founding of the Han dynasty, inheriting the devastation left by Qin, the various lords rose simultaneously in conflict. The people abandoned their livelihoods, and a great famine ensued. Price of one shi of rice reached five thousand coins; people ate each other, more than half the population perished. Emperor Gaozu then issued an order permitting the people to sell their children, and directed the starving to seek food in Shu and Han.

He knelt and said: "This morning I went to gather herbs for my aged mother, who depends on me for her life. I beg ye to let me return, feed my mother, and then come back to die." Tears streamed down his face.
#: The bandits, moved by his sincerity, took pity and released him. Liu Ping returned, fed his mother, and then told her: "I made a pledge to the bandits; honour forbids me to deceive them." He went back to the bandits. They were all greatly astonished and said to one another: "We have long heard of men of fierce integrity — now we behold one. Go, friend; we have not the heart to eat thee." And so he was spared.

People were slain by brigands; corpses filled the rivers, and white bones covered the fields. As Liu Yao's forces pressed close, the court deliberated removing the capital to Cangyuan. People ate each other; famine and plague came together, and eight or nine in ten officials had fled.

安史之乱期间,张巡固守城池,城中人相食,张巡杀妾以飨将士,对于张巡以食人为代价的守土之功是否应该奖励,出现了一次伦理学的辩论,历代不息,《柏杨白话版资治通鉴》收集了若干历史上争论的意见。
黄巢之乱的时候,几支反叛军队成规模地常规性地以人为食,黄巢军“掠人为粮,生投于碓硙,并骨食之,号给粮之处曰‘舂磨寨’”,秦宗权军“啖人为储,军士四出,则盐尸而从”,李罕之军“不耕稼,专以剽掠为资,啖人为粮”。真是惨烈之甚。
唐朝陈藏器写的《本草拾遗》写人肉可以治病,这应该不是他的发明,而只是民间认知的一种总结,可能只是太多不得已的饥荒食人造成一种认知扭曲,但又反过来理性化了食人,到宋朝的时候,割肉疗亲开始出现。

从《宋史》开始,二十五史开始频繁记载割肉疗亲的尽孝的故事,这反映了儒家伦理和人肉治病理念的普及,宋朝官方是褒奖这种做法的,之后元朝法律禁止,明清官方态度有所保留,但屡禁不止,愈演愈烈。
* 冠冕百行莫大于孝,范防百为莫大于义。先王兴孝以教民厚,民用不薄;兴义以教民睦,民用不争。率天下而由孝义,非履信思顺之世乎。太祖、太宗以来,子有复父仇而杀人者,壮而释之;刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;至于数世同居,辄复其家。一百余年,孝义所感,醴泉、甘露、芝草、异木之瑞,史不绝书,宋之教化有足观者矣。作《孝义传》。《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》

《清史稿》记载的割肉疗亲的事迹比二十五史以往各朝都多,但其实雍正有一段诏书不赞同割肉疗亲,朝廷的实际做法似乎是迫于民情不得已的情况下低调褒奖(“破格报可”),社会风气看来是称赞这种行为的。
* 雍正六年三月壬子,世宗谕曰:“……父母爱子,无所不至,若因己病而致其子割肝刲股以充饮馔、和汤药,纵其子无恙,父母未有不惊忧恻怛惨惕而不安者,况因此而伤生,岂父母所忍闻乎?父母有疾,固人子尽心竭力之时,傥能至诚纯孝,必且感天地、动鬼神,不必以惊世骇俗之为,著奇于日用伦常之外。……倘训谕之后,仍有不爱躯命,蹈于危亡者,朕亦不概加旌表,以成激烈轻生之习也。”(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)
* 清兴关外,俗纯朴,爱亲敬长,内悫而外严。既定鼎,礼教益备。定旌格,循明旧。亲存,奉侍竭其力;亲殁,善居丧,或庐于墓;亲远行,万里行求,或生还,或以丧归。友于兄弟,同居三五世以上,号义门,及诸义行,皆礼旌。亲病,刲股刳肝;亲丧,以身殉:皆以伤生有禁,有司以事闻,辄破格报可。所以教民者,若是其周其密也。国史承前例,撰次孝友传,亦颇及诸义行。(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)

Among all major civilizations worldwide, China has the most recorded instances of cannibalism.<ref> [美]郑麒来(Key Ray Chong)《中国古代的食人:人吃人行为透视》,中国社会科学出版社, 1994, "中国封建时代的有关(食人习俗的)文字记载是极为丰富的。可以说,中国封建时代的食人习俗证据远比其他时代或其他国家为多"</ref> This entry documented 388 cannibalism cases recorded in 530 instances from the ''Twenty-Five Histories'' ([[w:Twenty-Four Histories|Twenty-Four Histories]] and [[w:Draft History of Qing|Draft History of Qing]]), consistent with prior research <ref name=鄭麒來統計> [美]郑麒来(Key Ray Chong)《中国古代的食人:人吃人行为透视》,中国社会科学出版社,1994年版,第153-154页。</ref>. According to another study, the [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], a comprehensive Chinese encyclopedic work, recorded 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting own flesh to cure parents' illness<ref name=鄭麒來統計/>.
Several factors are generally considered responsible for this prevalence.
* China experienced more famines than any other major civilizations.<ref>邓拓,《中国救荒史》,1937年,“我国灾荒之多,世界罕有,就文献可考的记载来看,从公元前十八世纪,直到公元二十世纪的今日,将近四千年间,几于无年无灾,也几乎无年无荒。西欧学者甚至称我国为‘饥荒的国度’(The Land of Famine)。” </ref>
* China experienced the most frequent and intense conflicts among major civilizations.<ref>秦晖,《中国历史上,何来如此深仇大恨》,“中国秦以后历代王朝的寿命不但比‘封建’时代的周‘王朝’和欧洲、日本的宗主王系(不是dynasty)短很多,其‘改朝换代’的巨大破坏性更几乎是人类历史上独有的。……世界史上别的民族有遭到外来者屠杀而种族灭绝的,有毁灭于庞贝式的自然灾变的,但像中国这样残忍的自相残杀确实难找他例。”</ref> <ref> 福山《政治秩序的起源》,2014年,广西师范大学出版社,第7章,“与其他军事化社会相比,周朝的中国异常残暴。有个估计,秦国成功动员了其总人口的8%到20%,而古罗马共和国的仅1%,希腊提洛同盟的仅5.2%,欧洲早期现代则更低”</ref>
* Specific cultural beliefs developed in China, including:
** Rationalizing cannibalism as a means of expressing animosity<ref>《左传·襄公二十一年》,“然二子者,譬如禽兽,臣食其肉而寝处其皮矣”;岳飞,《满江红》,“壮志饥餐胡虏肉,笑谈渴饮匈奴血”;《三国演义》、《水浒传》多处有吃仇人肉的描写;等等</ref>.
** Attributing medicinal properties to human flesh <ref>唐,陈藏器,《本草拾遗》;明,李时珍,《本草纲目》</ref>.
** Viewing the practice of cutting own flesh to treat elder relatives as a noble demonstration of filial piety<ref> 《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》:“太祖、太宗以来,……刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;”</ref>
* China established a comprehensive official historical record system early on, which remained functional even during periods of significant social chaos, preserving extensive historical documentation.

However, this statistics is incomplete and partially incorrect. It omitted [[:w:Book of Zhou|Book of Zhou]], [[:w:Book of Qi|Book of Southern Qi]], [[:w:Old Book of Tang|Old Book of Tang]], [[:w:New Book of Tang|New Book of Tang]] originally included in the ''Twenty-Five Histories,'' and failed to remove duplicated records in [[:w:History of Ming|History of Ming]].
In addition to previous research, Key-Ray Chong compiled 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting one's own flesh to cure relatives in [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], of which 99% involved women, and 56% of these cases involved daughters-in-law cutting their own flesh for their mothers-in-law. Although this polarization may be the result of intentional selection bias, as both male and female cases of flesh-cutting to cure relatives are well documented in the ''Twenty-Five Histories.''

{{Blockquote|text=Chinese practice of survival cannibalism does not significantly differ from that of other cultures; However, "learned cannibalism''(習得性食人)''" in China earned unique characteristics, particularly in its historical prevalence and specific motivations.
Unlike many other regions, where religion played a central role in cannibalistic rituals, Chinese practices were largely secular, often driven by two emotional extremes: '''Virtue and Affection''', including acts performed out of loyalty (尽忠), filial piety (尽孝), or deep love. '''Vengeance and Hatred''', on the other hand, are acts performed for revenge (報仇), to wash away shames (雪恥), or out of pure animosity. To give an example, During wartimes, cannibalism was frequently practiced as a symbolic and literal act of consuming the enemy, rooted in deep-seated hatred.
It is worth noting that ''learned cannibalism'' was also associated with '''culinary appreciation''' or '''medicinal therapy''' among the upper classes. Human flesh was perceived as both a food source and a potent medicine, especially valued for enhancing sexual function. For example, Li Shizhen's [[:w:Compendium of Materia Medica|Compendium of Materia Medica]] listed 35 human organs or substances used for medicinal purposes.}}
==Xia, Zhou and Shang Dynasty==
Note that early Chinese history often blends myth with oral tradition. While these records lack contemporary archeological evidence, they are also historically significant as they reflect how later generations conceptualized the origins of social norms including cannibalism.
# c. 1940 BCE, Xia Dynasty
#: '''English:''' He [Houyi] relied on his archery and neglected civil affairs... The family retainers killed and boiled him, and fed him to his sons. His sons could not bear to eat him and died at city gate.
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-cn|「……(后羿)恃其射也,不修民事而淫於原獸,棄武羅、伯因、熊髡、圉而用寒浞。……羿猶不悛,將歸自田,家眾殺而亨之。以食其子;其子不忍食諸,死於窮門。」}}
#: '''Source:''' ''Zuo Zhuan'', Chapter of Duke Xiang (《左傳·襄公》)
# Reign of [[:w:King Weng of Zhou|King Weng of Zhou]], c.1112-1050 BCE
#: '''English:''' According to ''Diwang Shiji''(The Century of Emperors), [King] Zhou imprisoned King Wen(of Zhou Dynasty). King Wen's eldest son, Boyi Kao, was serving as a hostage in Yin and acted as a charioteer for King Zhou. King Zhou boiled [Boyi Kao] to make a meat soup and presented it to King Wen, saying: "''A true sage should not eat a soup made of his own son.''"
#: King Wen ate it. King Zhou then remarked, "Who was it said the Earl of the West (King Wen) was a sage? He ate a soup made of his own son without even realizing it."
#: '''Original:''' 「《帝王世紀》云,(紂)囚文王,文王之長子曰伯邑考,質於殷,為紂御。紂烹為羮,賜文王曰:聖人當不食其子羮。文王食之,紂曰,誰謂西伯聖者,食其子羮尚不知也。」

== Spring and Autumn / Warring States Periods ==
The [[:w:Spring and Autumn period|Spring and Autumn]] and [[:w:Warring States period|Warring States]] periods (approx. 770–221 BC) marked a significant era where cannibalism was documented under various social and political motivations. Famous Chinese idioms such as "exchanging children to eat" (''易子而食'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) and "eating the flesh and sleeping on the skin" (''食肉寝皮'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) both originated during this time.
Cases of cannibalism during this period can be categorized into four dominant motivations.
# '''Warfare and Siege Famines:''' The most frequent cause. During prolonged sieges, resources were so depleted that citizens resorted to "exchanging children to eat" to avoid consuming their own offspring.
# '''Political motivation:''' A famous case is Yi Ya (易牙), who steamed his own son to serve as a delicacy to Duke Huan of Qi to prove his absolute loyalty.
# '''Intimidation:''' Cannibalism was used as a tool of terror or vengeance. Examples include the Di people killing and eating Duke Yi of Wei(''狄人殺食衛懿公''), or the Ruler of Zhongshan boiling the son of the his own general, Yue Yang(''中山君烹樂羊子''), to test his loyalty.
# '''Cultural customs:''' Early records mention peripheral groups, such as the "People-Eating Kingdom" (啖人國), though these may be the result of Han-centric view of "barbaric" outsiders.
While the [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]] records at least 15 major natural famines, there are no explicit records of cannibalism resulting from "natural" disasters during this specific period.
However, historians often note that the absence of such records does not necessarily prove the absence of the practice; rather, it may reflect the selective focus bias on military and political events over lower-class sufferings.
=== Before Warring State period ===
# The practice of "Yi Di" (''宜弟'')
#: '''English''': In the ancient past, there was a kingdom called Kaishu to the east of Yue. When a first-born son was born, they would dismember and eat him. The practice is called "Yi Di" (meaning "benefiting the younger brothers").
#: '''Original:''' 昔者越之東有輆沭之國者,其長子生,則解而食之,謂之「宜弟」。
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Mozi|Mozi(Book)]]'', "Moderation in Funerals" (《墨子·節葬下》)
# Critique of "Yi Di", by Mozi
#: '''English:''' Luyang Wenjun said to Mozi: "South of Chu, there is a kingdom of man-eaters called Qiao. When a first-born son is born, they butcher and eat him, calling it 'Yi Di.' If the meat is flavorful, they present it to their ruler, who rewards the father. Is this not a detestable custom?"
#: Mozi replied: "Even the customs of the Central Kingdoms are similar. How is killing a father and rewarding his son any different from eating a son and rewarding his father? If we do not govern by Benevolence and Righteousness, how can we criticize the barbarians for eating their sons?"
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-tw|魯陽文君語子墨子曰:「楚之南有啖人之國者橋,其國之長子生,則鮮而食之,謂之宜弟。美,則以遺其君,君喜則賞其父。豈不惡俗哉?」子墨子曰:「雖中國之俗,亦猶是也。殺其父而賞其子,何以異食其子而賞其父者哉?苟不用仁義,何以非夷人食其子也?」}}
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Mozi|Mozi(Book)]]'', "Lu Wen" (《墨子·魯問》)
# Ethnographic Records of the Wuhu
#: '''English:''' To the west of the Nanman (Southern Barbarians) lies the Kingdom of Man-eaters, named [[:w:Cochin|Cochin]](Crossed rivers). There, man and woman bath in the same river, thus the name.
#: It is their custom to always dismember and eat the first-born son, calling it "Yi Di." If the taste is delicious, they offer it to their ruler, who in turn rewards the father. Furthermore, if a man marries a beautiful wife, he offer her to his elder brother. These people are known today as the Wuhu.
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-tw|其西有啖人國,生首子輒解而食之,謂之宜弟。味旨,則以遺其君,君喜而賞其父。取妻美,則讓其兄。今烏滸人是也。}}

=== In Warring State period ===
# During reigns of Duke Huan of Qi (''齊桓公'', r. 685–643 BCE)
#: '''English''': During the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, Yi Ya served the Duke as his personal chef. The Duke once said that he had never tasted steamed infant. Upon hearing this, Yi Ya steamed his own firstborn son and presented the dish to the Duke. Human nature is such that one loves one's own children; yet he who does not love his own son. Then, what he would do to his own lord?
#: '''Original:''' 夫易牙以调和事(齐桓)公,公曰"惟蒸婴儿之未尝",于是蒸其首子而献之公。人情非不爱其子也,于子之不爱,将何有于公?
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Guanzi (text)|Guanzi]]'', "Minor Exaltation" (《管子·小称》)
## Alternate records of "Yi Ya", During reigns of Duke Huan of Qi (''齊桓公'', r. 685–643 BCE)

# 594 BCE: The Siege of Song
#: '''English''': The people of Song, fearing for their lives, sent Hua Yuan on a secret night mission into the Chu encampment. He climbed into the bed of Zi Fan and roused him, saying: "Our lord has sent me, Yuan, to convey our dire situation: our city is reduced to trading children for food and splitting bones for fuel. Even so, a covenant made beneath the city walls — one that would mean the ruin of our state — we cannot accept. Withdraw thirty li (''unit of length, approx. 3 kilometers long)'' from us, and we will obey every command."
#: '''Original:''' 宋人惧,使华元夜入楚师,登子反之床,起之曰:"寡君使元以病告,曰:'敝邑易子而食,析骸以爨。虽然,城下之盟,有以国毙,不能从也。去我三十里,唯命是听。'"

## 594 BCE: The Siege of Song (alternate account)
##: '''English''': In the twentieth year of his reign, King Zhuang of Chu besieged Song in retaliation for the killing of a Chu envoy. After a siege of five months, the food supply within the city was completely exhausted. The inhabitants resorted to trading children for food and burning bones for fuel. Hua Yuan of Song went out to truthfully convey the situation to King Zhuang. The King said: "Truly a man of virtue!" and thereupon withdrew his forces.

# c. 500 BCE: Zhi the Robber (''盜跖'')
#: '''English''': Confucius and Liuxia Ji were friends; Liuxia Ji's younger brother was named Zhi the Robber. Zhi the Robber commanded a following of nine thousand men, swept through the empire with impunity, plundering the various lords.
#: He stormed into dwellings, stole cattle and horses, and abducted women. Driven by greed, he cast aside all bonds of kinship, disregarding his parents and siblings, and made no offerings to his ancestors.
#: Wherever his forces passed, large states fortified their walls and small states withdrew into strongholds, and all the people suffered greatly. [...] At that time, Zhi the Robber was resting his men on the southern slope of Mount Tai, mincing human livers and eating them.
#: '''Original:''' 孔子与柳下季为友,柳下季之弟名曰盗跖。盗跖从卒九千人,横行天下,侵暴诸侯;穴室枢户,驱人牛马,取人妇女;贪得忘亲,不顾父母兄弟,不祭先祖。所过之邑,大国守城,小国入保,万民苦之。……盗跖乃方休卒徒太山之阳,脍人肝而餔之。

#: Marquis Wen of Wei said to his advisor Du Shize: "Yue Yang, for my sake, ate the flesh of his own son." Du replied: "One who can eat his own son's flesh. Who would he not eat?" After Yue Yang had pacified Zhongshan, Marquis Wen rewarded his achievement but harbored doubts about his character.
#: '''Original:''' 乐羊为魏将而攻中山。其子在中山,中山之君烹其子而遗之羹,乐羊坐于幕下而啜之,尽一杯。文侯谓睹师赞曰:"乐羊以我之故,食其子之肉。"赞对曰:"其子之肉尚食之,其谁不食?"乐羊既罢中山,文侯赏其功而疑其心。

==Han Dynasty==
The wars between the Qin and Han dynasties caused large-scale famine and population decline across China, a pattern that would recur with nearly every subsequent dynastic transition.
# Early Han Dynasty: Famine and Cannibalism Following the Collapse of Qin
#: '''English''': At the founding of the Han dynasty, inheriting the devastation left by Qin, the various lords rose simultaneously in conflict. The people abandoned their livelihoods, and a great famine ensued. Price of one shi of rice reached five thousand coins; people ate each other, more than half the population perished. Emperor Gaozu then issued an order permitting the people to sell their children, and directed the starving to seek food in Shu and Han.

# Liu Ping Spared by Cannibals, ''Hou Han Shu''

Tears streamed down his face.
#: The bandits, moved by his sincerity, took pity and released him. Liu Ping returned, fed his mother, and then told her: "I made a pledge to the bandits; honour forbids me to deceive them." He went back to the bandits. They were all greatly astonished and said to one another: "We have long heard of men of fierce integrity — now we behold one. Go, friend; we have not the heart to eat thee." And so he was spared.

安史之乱期间,张巡固守城池,城中人相食,张巡杀妾以飨将士,对于张巡以食人为代价的守土之功是否应该奖励,出现了一次伦理学的辩论,历代不息,《柏杨白话版资治通鉴》收集了若干历史上争论的意见。
黄巢之乱的时候,几支反叛军队成规模地常规性地以人为食,黄巢军“掠人为粮,生投于碓硙,并骨食之,号给粮之处曰‘舂磨寨’”,秦宗权军“啖人为储,军士四出,则盐尸而从”,李罕之军“不耕稼,专以剽掠为资,啖人为粮”。真是惨烈之甚。
唐朝陈藏器写的《本草拾遗》写人肉可以治病,这应该不是他的发明,而只是民间认知的一种总结,可能只是太多不得已的饥荒食人造成一种认知扭曲,但又反过来理性化了食人,到宋朝的时候,割肉疗亲开始出现。

从《宋史》开始,二十五史开始频繁记载割肉疗亲的尽孝的故事,这反映了儒家伦理和人肉治病理念的普及,宋朝官方是褒奖这种做法的,之后元朝法律禁止,明清官方态度有所保留,但屡禁不止,愈演愈烈。
* 冠冕百行莫大于孝,范防百为莫大于义。先王兴孝以教民厚,民用不薄;兴义以教民睦,民用不争。率天下而由孝义,非履信思顺之世乎。太祖、太宗以来,子有复父仇而杀人者,壮而释之;刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;至于数世同居,辄复其家。一百余年,孝义所感,醴泉、甘露、芝草、异木之瑞,史不绝书,宋之教化有足观者矣。作《孝义传》。《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》

《清史稿》记载的割肉疗亲的事迹比二十五史以往各朝都多,但其实雍正有一段诏书不赞同割肉疗亲,朝廷的实际做法似乎是迫于民情不得已的情况下低调褒奖(“破格报可”),社会风气看来是称赞这种行为的。
* 雍正六年三月壬子,世宗谕曰:“……父母爱子,无所不至,若因己病而致其子割肝刲股以充饮馔、和汤药,纵其子无恙,父母未有不惊忧恻怛惨惕而不安者,况因此而伤生,岂父母所忍闻乎?父母有疾,固人子尽心竭力之时,傥能至诚纯孝,必且感天地、动鬼神,不必以惊世骇俗之为,著奇于日用伦常之外。……倘训谕之后,仍有不爱躯命,蹈于危亡者,朕亦不概加旌表,以成激烈轻生之习也。”(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)
* 清兴关外,俗纯朴,爱亲敬长,内悫而外严。既定鼎,礼教益备。定旌格,循明旧。亲存,奉侍竭其力;亲殁,善居丧,或庐于墓;亲远行,万里行求,或生还,或以丧归。友于兄弟,同居三五世以上,号义门,及诸义行,皆礼旌。亲病,刲股刳肝;亲丧,以身殉:皆以伤生有禁,有司以事闻,辄破格报可。所以教民者,若是其周其密也。国史承前例,撰次孝友传,亦颇及诸义行。(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)

Among all major civilizations worldwide, China has the most recorded instances of cannibalism.<ref> [美]郑麒来(Key Ray Chong)《中国古代的食人:人吃人行为透视》,中国社会科学出版社, 1994, "中国封建时代的有关(食人习俗的)文字记载是极为丰富的。可以说,中国封建时代的食人习俗证据远比其他时代或其他国家为多"</ref> This entry documented 388 cannibalism cases recorded in 530 instances from the ''Twenty-Five Histories'' ([[w:Twenty-Four Histories|Twenty-Four Histories]] and [[w:Draft History of Qing|Draft History of Qing]]), consistent with prior research <ref name=鄭麒來統計> [美]郑麒来(Key Ray Chong)《中国古代的食人:人吃人行为透视》,中国社会科学出版社,1994年版,第153-154页。</ref>. According to another study, the [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], a comprehensive Chinese encyclopedic work, recorded 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting own flesh to cure parents' illness<ref name=鄭麒來統計/>.
Several factors are generally considered responsible for this prevalence.
* China experienced more famines than any other major civilizations.<ref>邓拓,《中国救荒史》,1937年,“我国灾荒之多,世界罕有,就文献可考的记载来看,从公元前十八世纪,直到公元二十世纪的今日,将近四千年间,几于无年无灾,也几乎无年无荒。西欧学者甚至称我国为‘饥荒的国度’(The Land of Famine)。” </ref>
* China experienced the most frequent and intense conflicts among major civilizations.<ref>秦晖,《中国历史上,何来如此深仇大恨》,“中国秦以后历代王朝的寿命不但比‘封建’时代的周‘王朝’和欧洲、日本的宗主王系(不是dynasty)短很多,其‘改朝换代’的巨大破坏性更几乎是人类历史上独有的。……世界史上别的民族有遭到外来者屠杀而种族灭绝的,有毁灭于庞贝式的自然灾变的,但像中国这样残忍的自相残杀确实难找他例。”</ref> <ref> 福山《政治秩序的起源》,2014年,广西师范大学出版社,第7章,“与其他军事化社会相比,周朝的中国异常残暴。有个估计,秦国成功动员了其总人口的8%到20%,而古罗马共和国的仅1%,希腊提洛同盟的仅5.2%,欧洲早期现代则更低”</ref>
* Specific cultural beliefs developed in China, including:
** Rationalizing cannibalism as a means of expressing animosity<ref>《左传·襄公二十一年》,“然二子者,譬如禽兽,臣食其肉而寝处其皮矣”;岳飞,《满江红》,“壮志饥餐胡虏肉,笑谈渴饮匈奴血”;《三国演义》、《水浒传》多处有吃仇人肉的描写;等等</ref>.
** Attributing medicinal properties to human flesh <ref>唐,陈藏器,《本草拾遗》;明,李时珍,《本草纲目》</ref>.
** Viewing the practice of cutting own flesh to treat elder relatives as a noble demonstration of filial piety<ref> 《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》:“太祖、太宗以来,……刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;”</ref>
* China established a comprehensive official historical record system early on, which remained functional even during periods of significant social chaos, preserving extensive historical documentation.

However, this statistics is incomplete and partially incorrect. It omitted [[:w:Book of Zhou|Book of Zhou]], [[:w:Book of Qi|Book of Southern Qi]], [[:w:Old Book of Tang|Old Book of Tang]], [[:w:New Book of Tang|New Book of Tang]] originally included in the ''Twenty-Five Histories,'' and failed to remove duplicated records in [[:w:History of Ming|History of Ming]].
In addition to previous research, Key-Ray Chong compiled 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting one's own flesh to cure relatives in [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], of which 99% involved women, and 56% of these cases involved daughters-in-law cutting their own flesh for their mothers-in-law. Although this polarization may be the result of intentional selection bias, as both male and female cases of flesh-cutting to cure relatives are well documented in the ''Twenty-Five Histories.''

{{Blockquote|text=Chinese practice of survival cannibalism does not significantly differ from that of other cultures; However, "learned cannibalism''(習得性食人)''" in China earned unique characteristics, particularly in its historical prevalence and specific motivations.
Unlike many other regions, where religion played a central role in cannibalistic rituals, Chinese practices were largely secular, often driven by two emotional extremes: '''Virtue and Affection''', including acts performed out of loyalty (尽忠), filial piety (尽孝), or deep love. '''Vengeance and Hatred''', on the other hand, are acts performed for revenge (報仇), to wash away shames (雪恥), or out of pure animosity. To give an example, During wartimes, cannibalism was frequently practiced as a symbolic and literal act of consuming the enemy, rooted in deep-seated hatred.
It is worth noting that ''learned cannibalism'' was also associated with '''culinary appreciation''' or '''medicinal therapy''' among the upper classes. Human flesh was perceived as both a food source and a potent medicine, especially valued for enhancing sexual function. For example, Li Shizhen's [[:w:Compendium of Materia Medica|Compendium of Materia Medica]] listed 35 human organs or substances used for medicinal purposes.}}
==Xia, Zhou and Shang Dynasty==
Note that early Chinese history often blends myth with oral tradition. While these records lack contemporary archeological evidence, they are also historically significant as they reflect how later generations conceptualized the origins of social norms including cannibalism.
# c. 1940 BCE, Xia Dynasty
#: '''English:''' He [Houyi] relied on his archery and neglected civil affairs... The family retainers killed and boiled him, and fed him to his sons. His sons could not bear to eat him and died at city gate.
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-cn|「……(后羿)恃其射也,不修民事而淫於原獸,棄武羅、伯因、熊髡、圉而用寒浞。……羿猶不悛,將歸自田,家眾殺而亨之。以食其子;其子不忍食諸,死於窮門。」}}
#: '''Source:''' ''Zuo Zhuan'', Chapter of Duke Xiang (《左傳·襄公》)
# Reign of [[:w:King Weng of Zhou|King Weng of Zhou]], c.1112-1050 BCE
#: '''English:''' According to ''Diwang Shiji''(The Century of Emperors), [King] Zhou imprisoned King Wen(of Zhou Dynasty). King Wen's eldest son, Boyi Kao, was serving as a hostage in Yin and acted as a charioteer for King Zhou. King Zhou boiled [Boyi Kao] to make a meat soup and presented it to King Wen, saying: "''A true sage should not eat a soup made of his own son.''"
#: King Wen ate it. King Zhou then remarked, "Who was it said the Earl of the West (King Wen) was a sage? He ate a soup made of his own son without even realizing it."
#: '''Original:''' 「《帝王世紀》云,(紂)囚文王,文王之長子曰伯邑考,質於殷,為紂御。紂烹為羮,賜文王曰:聖人當不食其子羮。文王食之,紂曰,誰謂西伯聖者,食其子羮尚不知也。」

== Spring and Autumn / Warring States Periods ==
The [[:w:Spring and Autumn period|Spring and Autumn]] and [[:w:Warring States period|Warring States]] periods (approx. 770–221 BC) marked a significant era where cannibalism was documented under various social and political motivations. Famous Chinese idioms such as "exchanging children to eat" (''易子而食'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) and "eating the flesh and sleeping on the skin" (''食肉寝皮'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) both originated during this time.
Cases of cannibalism during this period can be categorized into four dominant motivations.
# '''Warfare and Siege Famines:''' The most frequent cause. During prolonged sieges, resources were so depleted that citizens resorted to "exchanging children to eat" to avoid consuming their own offspring.
# '''Political motivation:''' A famous case is Yi Ya (易牙), who steamed his own son to serve as a delicacy to Duke Huan of Qi to prove his absolute loyalty.
# '''Intimidation:''' Cannibalism was used as a tool of terror or vengeance. Examples include the Di people killing and eating Duke Yi of Wei(''狄人殺食衛懿公''), or the Ruler of Zhongshan boiling the son of the his own general, Yue Yang(''中山君烹樂羊子''), to test his loyalty.
# '''Cultural customs:''' Early records mention peripheral groups, such as the "People-Eating Kingdom" (啖人國), though these may be the result of Han-centric view of "barbaric" outsiders.
While the [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]] records at least 15 major famines, there are no explicit official records of cannibalism resulting from natural disasters during this specific period. However, the absence of such records does not necessarily prove the absence of the practice; rather, it may reflect the selective focus bias of official records on military and political events over lower-class sufferings.
=== Before Warring State period ===
# The practice of "Yi Di" (''宜弟'')
#: '''English''': In the ancient past, there was a kingdom called Kaishu to the east of Yue. When a first-born son was born, they would dismember and eat him. The practice is called "Yi Di" (meaning "benefiting the younger brothers").
#: '''Original:''' 昔者越之東有輆沭之國者,其長子生,則解而食之,謂之「宜弟」。
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Mozi|Mozi(Book)]]'', "Moderation in Funerals" (《墨子·節葬下》)
# Critique of "Yi Di", by Mozi
#: '''English:''' Luyang Wenjun said to Mozi: "South of Chu, there is a kingdom of man-eaters called Qiao. When a first-born son is born, they butcher and eat him, calling it 'Yi Di.' If the meat is flavorful, they present it to their ruler, who rewards the father. Is this not a detestable custom?"
#: Mozi replied: "Even the customs of the Central Kingdoms are similar. How is killing a father and rewarding his son any different from eating a son and rewarding his father? If we do not govern by Benevolence and Righteousness, how can we criticize the barbarians for eating their sons?"
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-tw|魯陽文君語子墨子曰:「楚之南有啖人之國者橋,其國之長子生,則鮮而食之,謂之宜弟。美,則以遺其君,君喜則賞其父。豈不惡俗哉?」子墨子曰:「雖中國之俗,亦猶是也。殺其父而賞其子,何以異食其子而賞其父者哉?苟不用仁義,何以非夷人食其子也?」}}
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Mozi|Mozi(Book)]]'', "Lu Wen" (《墨子·魯問》)
# Ethnographic Records of the Wuhu
#: '''English:''' To the west of the Nanman (Southern Barbarians) lies the Kingdom of Man-eaters, named [[:w:Cochin|Cochin]](Crossed rivers). There, man and woman bath in the same river, thus the name.
#: It is their custom to always dismember and eat the first-born son, calling it "Yi Di." If the taste is delicious, they offer it to their ruler, who in turn rewards the father. Furthermore, if a man marries a beautiful wife, he offer her to his elder brother. These people are known today as the Wuhu.
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-tw|其西有啖人國,生首子輒解而食之,謂之宜弟。味旨,則以遺其君,君喜而賞其父。取妻美,則讓其兄。今烏滸人是也。}}
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Book of the Later Han|Book of the Later Han]]'', "On the Southern and Southwestern Barbarians" (《後漢書·南蠻西南夷列傳》)
=== In Warring State period ===
# During reigns of Duke Huan of Qi (''齊桓公'', r. 685–643 BCE)
#: '''English''': During the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, Yi Ya served the Duke as his personal chef. The Duke once said that he had never tasted steamed infant. Upon hearing this, Yi Ya steamed his own firstborn son and presented the dish to the Duke. Human nature is such that one loves one's own children; yet he who does not love his own son. Then, what he would do to his own lord?
#: '''Original:''' 夫易牙以调和事(齐桓)公,公曰"惟蒸婴儿之未尝",于是蒸其首子而献之公。人情非不爱其子也,于子之不爱,将何有于公?
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Guanzi (text)|Guanzi]]'', "Minor Exaltation" (《管子·小称》)
## Alternate records of "Yi Ya", During reigns of Duke Huan of Qi (''齊桓公'', r. 685–643 BCE)
##: '''English''': Duke Huan of Qi was fond of rare delicacies, and so Yi Ya steamed his own son's head and presented it to him.
##: '''Original:''' 齐桓公好味,易牙蒸其子首而进之。

#: '''English''': The Di people arrived and overtook Duke Yi of Wei at Rongze, where they killed him. They consumed all of his flesh, only his liver was untouched.
#: '''Original:''' 狄人至,及(卫)懿公于荣泽,杀之,尽食其肉,独舍其肝。

# 594 BCE: The Siege of Song
#: '''English''': The people of Song, fearing for their lives, sent Hua Yuan on a secret night mission into the Chu encampment. He climbed into the bed of Zi Fan and roused him, saying: "Our lord has sent me, Yuan, to convey our dire situation: our city is reduced to trading children for food and splitting bones for fuel. Even so, a covenant made beneath the city walls — one that would mean the ruin of our state — we cannot accept. Withdraw thirty li (''unit of length, approx. 3 kilometers long)'' from us, and we will obey every command."
#: '''Original:''' 宋人惧,使华元夜入楚师,登子反之床,起之曰:"寡君使元以病告,曰:'敝邑易子而食,析骸以爨。虽然,城下之盟,有以国毙,不能从也。去我三十里,唯命是听。'"
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]'', "The Fifteenth Year of Duke Xuan" (《左傳·宣公十五年》)
## 594 BCE: The Siege of Song (alternate account)
##: '''English''': In the twentieth year of his reign, King Zhuang of Chu besieged Song in retaliation for the killing of a Chu envoy. After a siege of five months, the food supply within the city was completely exhausted. The inhabitants resorted to trading children for food and burning bones for fuel. Hua Yuan of Song went out to truthfully convey the situation to King Zhuang. The King said: "Truly a man of virtue!" and thereupon withdrew his forces.
##: '''Original:''' 二十年,(楚)围宋,以杀楚使也。围宋五月,城中食尽,易子而食,析骨而炊。宋华元出告以情。庄王曰:"君子哉!"遂罢兵去。

# c. 500 BCE: Zhi the Robber (''盜跖'')
#: '''English''': Confucius and Liuxia Ji were friends; Liuxia Ji's younger brother was named Zhi the Robber. Zhi the Robber commanded a following of nine thousand men, swept through the empire with impunity, plundering the various lords.
#: He stormed into dwellings, stole cattle and horses, and abducted women. Driven by greed, he cast aside all bonds of kinship, disregarding his parents and siblings, and made no offerings to his ancestors.
#: Wherever his forces passed, large states fortified their walls and small states withdrew into strongholds, and all the people suffered greatly. [...] At that time, Zhi the Robber was resting his men on the southern slope of Mount Tai, mincing human livers and eating them.
#: '''Original:''' 孔子与柳下季为友,柳下季之弟名曰盗跖。盗跖从卒九千人,横行天下,侵暴诸侯;穴室枢户,驱人牛马,取人妇女;贪得忘亲,不顾父母兄弟,不祭先祖。所过之邑,大国守城,小国入保,万民苦之。……盗跖乃方休卒徒太山之阳,脍人肝而餔之。
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Zhuangzi (book)|Zhuangzi]]'', "Robber Zhi" (《莊子·盜跖》)
# 409 BCE: Yue Yang Drinks His Son's Broth
#: '''English''': Yue Yang served as a general of Wei and led an attack on Zhongshan. His son was residing in Zhongshan at the time, and the ruler of Zhongshan had the son boiled and sent the resulting broth to Yue Yang. Yue Yang sat beneath his campaign tent and drank it, finishing the entire cup.
#: Marquis Wen of Wei said to his advisor Du Shize: "Yue Yang, for my sake, ate the flesh of his own son." Du replied: "One who can eat his own son's flesh. Who would he not eat?" After Yue Yang had pacified Zhongshan, Marquis Wen rewarded his achievement but harbored doubts about his character.
#: '''Original:''' 乐羊为魏将而攻中山。其子在中山,中山之君烹其子而遗之羹,乐羊坐于幕下而啜之,尽一杯。文侯谓睹师赞曰:"乐羊以我之故,食其子之肉。"赞对曰:"其子之肉尚食之,其谁不食?"乐羊既罢中山,文侯赏其功而疑其心。

# 403 BCE: The Siege of Jinyang ''(晉陽之戰'')

安史之乱期间,张巡固守城池,城中人相食,张巡杀妾以飨将士,对于张巡以食人为代价的守土之功是否应该奖励,出现了一次伦理学的辩论,历代不息,《柏杨白话版资治通鉴》收集了若干历史上争论的意见。
黄巢之乱的时候,几支反叛军队成规模地常规性地以人为食,黄巢军“掠人为粮,生投于碓硙,并骨食之,号给粮之处曰‘舂磨寨’”,秦宗权军“啖人为储,军士四出,则盐尸而从”,李罕之军“不耕稼,专以剽掠为资,啖人为粮”。真是惨烈之甚。
唐朝陈藏器写的《本草拾遗》写人肉可以治病,这应该不是他的发明,而只是民间认知的一种总结,可能只是太多不得已的饥荒食人造成一种认知扭曲,但又反过来理性化了食人,到宋朝的时候,割肉疗亲开始出现。

从《宋史》开始,二十五史开始频繁记载割肉疗亲的尽孝的故事,这反映了儒家伦理和人肉治病理念的普及,宋朝官方是褒奖这种做法的,之后元朝法律禁止,明清官方态度有所保留,但屡禁不止,愈演愈烈。
* 冠冕百行莫大于孝,范防百为莫大于义。先王兴孝以教民厚,民用不薄;兴义以教民睦,民用不争。率天下而由孝义,非履信思顺之世乎。太祖、太宗以来,子有复父仇而杀人者,壮而释之;刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;至于数世同居,辄复其家。一百余年,孝义所感,醴泉、甘露、芝草、异木之瑞,史不绝书,宋之教化有足观者矣。作《孝义传》。《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》

==清==
《清史稿》记载的割肉疗亲的事迹比二十五史以往各朝都多,但其实雍正有一段诏书不赞同割肉疗亲,朝廷的实际做法似乎是迫于民情不得已的情况下低调褒奖(“破格报可”),社会风气看来是称赞这种行为的。
* 雍正六年三月壬子,世宗谕曰:“……父母爱子,无所不至,若因己病而致其子割肝刲股以充饮馔、和汤药,纵其子无恙,父母未有不惊忧恻怛惨惕而不安者,况因此而伤生,岂父母所忍闻乎?父母有疾,固人子尽心竭力之时,傥能至诚纯孝,必且感天地、动鬼神,不必以惊世骇俗之为,著奇于日用伦常之外。……倘训谕之后,仍有不爱躯命,蹈于危亡者,朕亦不概加旌表,以成激烈轻生之习也。”(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)
* 清兴关外,俗纯朴,爱亲敬长,内悫而外严。既定鼎,礼教益备。定旌格,循明旧。亲存,奉侍竭其力;亲殁,善居丧,或庐于墓;亲远行,万里行求,或生还,或以丧归。友于兄弟,同居三五世以上,号义门,及诸义行,皆礼旌。亲病,刲股刳肝;亲丧,以身殉:皆以伤生有禁,有司以事闻,辄破格报可。所以教民者,若是其周其密也。国史承前例,撰次孝友传,亦颇及诸义行。(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)

According to another study, the [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], a comprehensive Chinese encyclopedic work, recorded 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting own flesh to cure parents' illness<ref name=鄭麒來統計/>.
Several factors are generally considered responsible for this prevalence.
* China experienced more famines than any other major civilizations.<ref>邓拓,《中国救荒史》,1937年,“我国灾荒之多,世界罕有,就文献可考的记载来看,从公元前十八世纪,直到公元二十世纪的今日,将近四千年间,几于无年无灾,也几乎无年无荒。西欧学者甚至称我国为‘饥荒的国度’(The Land of Famine)。” </ref>
* China experienced the most frequent and intense conflicts among major civilizations.<ref>秦晖,《中国历史上,何来如此深仇大恨》,“中国秦以后历代王朝的寿命不但比‘封建’时代的周‘王朝’和欧洲、日本的宗主王系(不是dynasty)短很多,其‘改朝换代’的巨大破坏性更几乎是人类历史上独有的。……世界史上别的民族有遭到外来者屠杀而种族灭绝的,有毁灭于庞贝式的自然灾变的,但像中国这样残忍的自相残杀确实难找他例。”</ref> <ref> 福山《政治秩序的起源》,2014年,广西师范大学出版社,第7章,“与其他军事化社会相比,周朝的中国异常残暴。有个估计,秦国成功动员了其总人口的8%到20%,而古罗马共和国的仅1%,希腊提洛同盟的仅5.2%,欧洲早期现代则更低”</ref>
* Specific cultural beliefs developed in China, including:
** Rationalizing cannibalism as a means of expressing animosity<ref>《左传·襄公二十一年》,“然二子者,譬如禽兽,臣食其肉而寝处其皮矣”;岳飞,《满江红》,“壮志饥餐胡虏肉,笑谈渴饮匈奴血”;《三国演义》、《水浒传》多处有吃仇人肉的描写;等等</ref>.
** Attributing medicinal properties to human flesh <ref>唐,陈藏器,《本草拾遗》;明,李时珍,《本草纲目》</ref>.
** Viewing the practice of cutting own flesh to treat elder relatives as a noble demonstration of filial piety<ref> 《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》:“太祖、太宗以来,……刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;”</ref>
* China established a comprehensive official historical record system early on, which remained functional even during periods of significant social chaos, preserving extensive historical documentation.

However, this statistics is incomplete and partially incorrect. It omitted [[:w:Book of Zhou|Book of Zhou]], [[:w:Book of Qi|Book of Southern Qi]], [[:w:Old Book of Tang|Old Book of Tang]], [[:w:New Book of Tang|New Book of Tang]] originally included in the ''Twenty-Five Histories,'' and failed to remove duplicated records in [[:w:History of Ming|History of Ming]].
In addition to previous research, Key-Ray Chong compiled 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting one's own flesh to cure relatives in [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], of which 99% involved women, and 56% of these cases involved daughters-in-law cutting their own flesh for their mothers-in-law. Although this polarization may be the result of intentional selection bias, as both male and female cases of flesh-cutting to cure relatives are well documented in the ''Twenty-Five Histories.''

{{Blockquote|text=Chinese practice of survival cannibalism does not significantly differ from that of other cultures; However, "learned cannibalism''(習得性食人)''" in China earned unique characteristics, particularly in its historical prevalence and specific motivations.
Unlike many other regions, where religion played a central role in cannibalistic rituals, Chinese practices were largely secular, often driven by two emotional extremes: '''Virtue and Affection''', including acts performed out of loyalty (尽忠), filial piety (尽孝), or deep love. '''Vengeance and Hatred''', on the other hand, are acts performed for revenge (報仇), to wash away shames (雪恥), or out of pure animosity. To give an example, During wartimes, cannibalism was frequently practiced as a symbolic and literal act of consuming the enemy, rooted in deep-seated hatred.
It is worth noting that ''learned cannibalism'' was also associated with '''culinary appreciation''' or '''medicinal therapy''' among the upper classes. Human flesh was perceived as both a food source and a potent medicine, especially valued for enhancing sexual function. For example, Li Shizhen's [[:w:Compendium of Materia Medica|Compendium of Materia Medica]] listed 35 human organs or substances used for medicinal purposes.}}
==Xia, Zhou and Shang Dynasty==
Note that early Chinese history often blends myth with oral tradition. While these records lack contemporary archeological evidence, they are also historically significant as they reflect how later generations conceptualized the origins of social norms including cannibalism.
# c. 1940 BCE, Xia Dynasty
#: '''English:''' He [Houyi] relied on his archery and neglected civil affairs... The family retainers killed and boiled him, and fed him to his sons. His sons could not bear to eat him and died at city gate.

# Reign of [[:w:King Weng of Zhou|King Weng of Zhou]], c.1112-1050 BCE
#: '''English:''' According to ''Diwang Shiji''(The Century of Emperors), [King] Zhou imprisoned King Wen(of Zhou Dynasty). King Wen's eldest son, Boyi Kao, was serving as a hostage in Yin and acted as a charioteer for King Zhou. King Zhou boiled [Boyi Kao] to make a meat soup and presented it to King Wen, saying: "''A true sage should not eat a soup made of his own son.''"
#: King Wen ate it. King Zhou then remarked, "Who was it said the Earl of the West (King Wen) was a sage? He ate a soup made of his own son without even realizing it."

== Spring and Autumn / Warring States Periods ==
The [[:w:Spring and Autumn period|Spring and Autumn]] and [[:w:Warring States period|Warring States]] periods (approx. 770–221 BC) marked a significant era where cannibalism was documented under various social and political motivations. Famous Chinese idioms such as "exchanging children to eat" (''易子而食'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) and "eating the flesh and sleeping on the skin" (''食肉寝皮'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) both originated during this time.
Cases of cannibalism during this period can be categorized into four dominant motivations.
# '''Warfare and Siege Famines:''' The most frequent cause. During prolonged sieges, resources were so depleted that citizens resorted to "exchanging children to eat" to avoid consuming their own offspring.
# '''Political motivation:''' A famous case is Yi Ya (易牙), who steamed his own son to serve as a delicacy to Duke Huan of Qi to prove his absolute loyalty.
# '''Intimidation:''' Cannibalism was used as a tool of terror or vengeance. Examples include the Di people killing and eating Duke Yi of Wei(''狄人殺食衛懿公''), or the Ruler of Zhongshan boiling the son of the his own general, Yue Yang(''中山君烹樂羊子''), to test his loyalty.
# '''Cultural customs:''' Early records mention peripheral groups, such as the "People-Eating Kingdom" (啖人國), though these may be the result of Han-centric view of "barbaric" outsiders.
While the [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]] records at least 15 major famines, there are no explicit official records of cannibalism resulting from natural disasters during this specific period. However, the absence of such records does not necessarily prove the absence of the practice; rather, it may reflect the selective focus bias of official records on military and political events over lower-class sufferings.
=== Before Warring State period ===
# The practice of "Yi Di" (''宜弟'')
#: '''English''': In the ancient past, there was a kingdom called Kaishu to the east of Yue. When a first-born son was born, they would dismember and eat him. The practice is called "Yi Di" (meaning "benefiting the younger brothers").
#: '''Original:''' 昔者越之東有輆沭之國者,其長子生,則解而食之,謂之「宜弟」。
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Mozi|Mozi(Book)]]'', "Moderation in Funerals" (《墨子·節葬下》)
# Critique of "Yi Di", by Mozi
#: '''English:''' Luyang Wenjun said to Mozi: "South of Chu, there is a kingdom of man-eaters called Qiao. When a first-born son is born, they butcher and eat him, calling it 'Yi Di.' If the meat is flavorful, they present it to their ruler, who rewards the father. Is this not a detestable custom?"
#: Mozi replied: "Even the customs of the Central Kingdoms are similar. How is killing a father and rewarding his son any different from eating a son and rewarding his father? If we do not govern by Benevolence and Righteousness, how can we criticize the barbarians for eating their sons?"
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-tw|魯陽文君語子墨子曰:「楚之南有啖人之國者橋,其國之長子生,則鮮而食之,謂之宜弟。美,則以遺其君,君喜則賞其父。豈不惡俗哉?」子墨子曰:「雖中國之俗,亦猶是也。殺其父而賞其子,何以異食其子而賞其父者哉?苟不用仁義,何以非夷人食其子也?」}}
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Mozi|Mozi(Book)]]'', "Lu Wen" (《墨子·魯問》)
# Ethnographic Records of the Wuhu
#: '''English:''' To the west of the Nanman (Southern Barbarians) lies the Kingdom of Man-eaters, named [[:w:Cochin|Cochin]](Crossed rivers). There, man and woman bath in the same river, thus the name.
#: It is their custom to always dismember and eat the first-born son, calling it "Yi Di." If the taste is delicious, they offer it to their ruler, who in turn rewards the father. Furthermore, if a man marries a beautiful wife, he offer her to his elder brother. These people are known today as the Wuhu.
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-tw|其西有啖人國,生首子輒解而食之,謂之宜弟。味旨,則以遺其君,君喜而賞其父。取妻美,則讓其兄。今烏滸人是也。}}
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Book of the Later Han|Book of the Later Han]]'', "On the Southern and Southwestern Barbarians" (《後漢書·南蠻西南夷列傳》)
=== In Warring State period ===
# During reigns of Duke Huan of Qi (''齊桓公'', r. 685–643 BCE)
#: '''English''': During the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, Yi Ya served the Duke as his personal chef. The Duke once said that he had never tasted steamed infant. Upon hearing this, Yi Ya steamed his own firstborn son and presented the dish to the Duke. Human nature is such that one loves one's own children; yet he who does not love his own son. Then, what he would do to his own lord?
#: '''Original:''' 夫易牙以调和事(齐桓)公,公曰"惟蒸婴儿之未尝",于是蒸其首子而献之公。人情非不爱其子也,于子之不爱,将何有于公?
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Guanzi (text)|Guanzi]]'', "Minor Exaltation" (《管子·小称》)
## Alternate records of "Yi Ya", During reigns of Duke Huan of Qi (''齊桓公'', r. 685–643 BCE)
##: '''English''': Duke Huan of Qi was fond of rare delicacies, and so Yi Ya steamed his own son's head and presented it to him.
##: '''Original:''' 齐桓公好味,易牙蒸其子首而进之。
##: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Han Feizi|Han Feizi]]'', "The Two Handles" (《韓非子·二柄·難一》)
# 660 BCE: The Death and Consumption of Duke Yi of Wei (''衛懿公'')
#: '''English''': The Di people arrived and overtook Duke Yi of Wei at Rongze, where they killed him. They consumed all of his flesh, only his liver was untouched.
#: '''Original:''' 狄人至,及(卫)懿公于荣泽,杀之,尽食其肉,独舍其肝。
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Lüshi Chunqiu|Lüshi Chunqiu]]'' (《吕氏春秋》)
# 594 BCE: The Siege of Song
#: '''English''': The people of Song, fearing for their lives, sent Hua Yuan on a secret night mission into the Chu encampment.

安史之乱期间,张巡固守城池,城中人相食,张巡杀妾以飨将士,对于张巡以食人为代价的守土之功是否应该奖励,出现了一次伦理学的辩论,历代不息,《柏杨白话版资治通鉴》收集了若干历史上争论的意见。
黄巢之乱的时候,几支反叛军队成规模地常规性地以人为食,黄巢军“掠人为粮,生投于碓硙,并骨食之,号给粮之处曰‘舂磨寨’”,秦宗权军“啖人为储,军士四出,则盐尸而从”,李罕之军“不耕稼,专以剽掠为资,啖人为粮”。真是惨烈之甚。
唐朝陈藏器写的《本草拾遗》写人肉可以治病,这应该不是他的发明,而只是民间认知的一种总结,可能只是太多不得已的饥荒食人造成一种认知扭曲,但又反过来理性化了食人,到宋朝的时候,割肉疗亲开始出现。

从《宋史》开始,二十五史开始频繁记载割肉疗亲的尽孝的故事,这反映了儒家伦理和人肉治病理念的普及,宋朝官方是褒奖这种做法的,之后元朝法律禁止,明清官方态度有所保留,但屡禁不止,愈演愈烈。
* 冠冕百行莫大于孝,范防百为莫大于义。先王兴孝以教民厚,民用不薄;兴义以教民睦,民用不争。率天下而由孝义,非履信思顺之世乎。太祖、太宗以来,子有复父仇而杀人者,壮而释之;刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;至于数世同居,辄复其家。一百余年,孝义所感,醴泉、甘露、芝草、异木之瑞,史不绝书,宋之教化有足观者矣。作《孝义传》。《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》

==清==
《清史稿》记载的割肉疗亲的事迹比二十五史以往各朝都多,但其实雍正有一段诏书不赞同割肉疗亲,朝廷的实际做法似乎是迫于民情不得已的情况下低调褒奖(“破格报可”),社会风气看来是称赞这种行为的。
* 雍正六年三月壬子,世宗谕曰:“……父母爱子,无所不至,若因己病而致其子割肝刲股以充饮馔、和汤药,纵其子无恙,父母未有不惊忧恻怛惨惕而不安者,况因此而伤生,岂父母所忍闻乎?父母有疾,固人子尽心竭力之时,傥能至诚纯孝,必且感天地、动鬼神,不必以惊世骇俗之为,著奇于日用伦常之外。……倘训谕之后,仍有不爱躯命,蹈于危亡者,朕亦不概加旌表,以成激烈轻生之习也。”(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)
* 清兴关外,俗纯朴,爱亲敬长,内悫而外严。既定鼎,礼教益备。定旌格,循明旧。亲存,奉侍竭其力;亲殁,善居丧,或庐于墓;亲远行,万里行求,或生还,或以丧归。友于兄弟,同居三五世以上,号义门,及诸义行,皆礼旌。亲病,刲股刳肝;亲丧,以身殉:皆以伤生有禁,有司以事闻,辄破格报可。所以教民者,若是其周其密也。国史承前例,撰次孝友传,亦颇及诸义行。(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)

According to another study, the [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], a comprehensive Chinese encyclopedic work, recorded 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting own flesh to cure parents' illness<ref name=鄭麒來統計/>.
Several factors are generally considered responsible for this prevalence.
* China experienced more famines than any other major civilizations.<ref>邓拓,《中国救荒史》,1937年,“我国灾荒之多,世界罕有,就文献可考的记载来看,从公元前十八世纪,直到公元二十世纪的今日,将近四千年间,几于无年无灾,也几乎无年无荒。西欧学者甚至称我国为‘饥荒的国度’(The Land of Famine)。” </ref>
* China experienced the most frequent and intense conflicts among major civilizations.<ref>秦晖,《中国历史上,何来如此深仇大恨》,“中国秦以后历代王朝的寿命不但比‘封建’时代的周‘王朝’和欧洲、日本的宗主王系(不是dynasty)短很多,其‘改朝换代’的巨大破坏性更几乎是人类历史上独有的。……世界史上别的民族有遭到外来者屠杀而种族灭绝的,有毁灭于庞贝式的自然灾变的,但像中国这样残忍的自相残杀确实难找他例。”</ref> <ref> 福山《政治秩序的起源》,2014年,广西师范大学出版社,第7章,“与其他军事化社会相比,周朝的中国异常残暴。有个估计,秦国成功动员了其总人口的8%到20%,而古罗马共和国的仅1%,希腊提洛同盟的仅5.2%,欧洲早期现代则更低”</ref>
* Specific cultural beliefs developed in China, including:
** Rationalizing cannibalism as a means of expressing animosity<ref>《左传·襄公二十一年》,“然二子者,譬如禽兽,臣食其肉而寝处其皮矣”;岳飞,《满江红》,“壮志饥餐胡虏肉,笑谈渴饮匈奴血”;《三国演义》、《水浒传》多处有吃仇人肉的描写;等等</ref>.
** Attributing medicinal properties to human flesh <ref>唐,陈藏器,《本草拾遗》;明,李时珍,《本草纲目》</ref>.
** Viewing the practice of cutting own flesh to treat elder relatives as a noble demonstration of filial piety<ref> 《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》:“太祖、太宗以来,……刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;”</ref>
* China established a comprehensive official historical record system early on, which remained functional even during periods of significant social chaos, preserving extensive historical documentation.

However, this statistics is incomplete and partially incorrect. It omitted [[:w:Book of Zhou|Book of Zhou]], [[:w:Book of Qi|Book of Southern Qi]], [[:w:Old Book of Tang|Old Book of Tang]], [[:w:New Book of Tang|New Book of Tang]] originally included in the ''Twenty-Five Histories,'' and failed to remove duplicated records in [[:w:History of Ming|History of Ming]].
In addition to previous research, Key-Ray Chong compiled 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting one's own flesh to cure relatives in [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], of which 99% involved women, and 56% of these cases involved daughters-in-law cutting their own flesh for their mothers-in-law. Although this polarization may be the result of intentional selection bias, as both male and female cases of flesh-cutting to cure relatives are well documented in the ''Twenty-Five Histories.''

{{Blockquote|text=Chinese practice of survival cannibalism does not significantly differ from that of other cultures; However, "learned cannibalism''(習得性食人)''" in China earned unique characteristics, particularly in its historical prevalence and specific motivations.
Unlike many other regions, where religion played a central role in cannibalistic rituals, Chinese practices were largely secular, often driven by two emotional extremes: '''Virtue and Affection''', including acts performed out of loyalty (尽忠), filial piety (尽孝), or deep love. '''Vengeance and Hatred''', on the other hand, are acts performed for revenge (報仇), to wash away shames (雪恥), or out of pure animosity. To give an example, During wartimes, cannibalism was frequently practiced as a symbolic and literal act of consuming the enemy, rooted in deep-seated hatred.
It is worth noting that ''learned cannibalism'' was also associated with '''culinary appreciation''' or '''medicinal therapy''' among the upper classes. Human flesh was perceived as both a food source and a potent medicine, especially valued for enhancing sexual function. For example, Li Shizhen's [[:w:Compendium of Materia Medica|Compendium of Materia Medica]] listed 35 human organs or substances used for medicinal purposes.}}
==Xia, Zhou and Shang Dynasty==
Note that early Chinese history often blends myth with oral tradition. While these records lack contemporary archeological evidence, they are also historically significant as they reflect how later generations conceptualized the origins of social norms including cannibalism.

#: '''English:''' According to ''Diwang Shiji''(The Century of Emperors), [King] Zhou imprisoned King Wen(of Zhou Dynasty). King Wen's eldest son, Boyi Kao, was serving as a hostage in Yin and acted as a charioteer for King Zhou. King Zhou boiled [Boyi Kao] to make a meat soup and presented it to King Wen, saying: "''A true sage should not eat a soup made of his own son.''"
#: King Wen ate it. King Zhou then remarked, "Who was it said the Earl of the West (King Wen) was a sage? He ate a soup made of his own son without even realizing it."

== Spring and Autumn / Warring States Periods ==
The [[:w:Spring and Autumn period|Spring and Autumn]] and [[:w:Warring States period|Warring States]] periods (approx. 770–221 BC) marked a significant era where cannibalism was documented under various social and political motivations. Famous Chinese idioms such as "exchanging children to eat" (''易子而食'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) and "eating the flesh and sleeping on the skin" (''食肉寝皮'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) both originated during this time.
Cases of cannibalism during this period can be categorized into four dominant motivations.
# '''Warfare and Siege Famines:''' The most frequent cause. During prolonged sieges, resources were so depleted that citizens resorted to "exchanging children to eat" to avoid consuming their own offspring.
# '''Political motivation:''' A famous case is Yi Ya (易牙), who steamed his own son to serve as a delicacy to Duke Huan of Qi to prove his absolute loyalty.
# '''Intimidation:''' Cannibalism was used as a tool of terror or vengeance. Examples include the Di people killing and eating Duke Yi of Wei(''狄人殺食衛懿公''), or the Ruler of Zhongshan boiling the son of the his own general, Yue Yang(''中山君烹樂羊子''), to test his loyalty.
# '''Cultural customs:''' Early records mention peripheral groups, such as the "People-Eating Kingdom" (啖人國), though these may be the result of Han-centric view of "barbaric" outsiders.
While the [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]] records at least 15 major famines, there are no explicit official records of cannibalism resulting from natural disasters during this specific period. However, the absence of such records does not necessarily prove the absence of the practice; rather, it may reflect the selective focus bias of official records on military and political events over lower-class sufferings.

# The practice of "Yi Di" (''宜弟'')
#: '''English''': In the ancient past, there was a kingdom called Kaishu to the east of Yue. When a first-born son was born, they would dismember and eat him. The practice is called "Yi Di" (meaning "benefiting the younger brothers").

# Critique of "Yi Di", by Mozi
#: '''English:''' Luyang Wenjun said to Mozi: "South of Chu, there is a kingdom of man-eaters called Qiao. When a first-born son is born, they butcher and eat him, calling it 'Yi Di.' If the meat is flavorful, they present it to their ruler, who rewards the father. Is this not a detestable custom?"
#: Mozi replied: "Even the customs of the Central Kingdoms are similar. How is killing a father and rewarding his son any different from eating a son and rewarding his father? If we do not govern by Benevolence and Righteousness, how can we criticize the barbarians for eating their sons?"

#: It is their custom to always dismember and eat the first-born son, calling it "Yi Di." If the taste is delicious, they offer it to their ruler, who in turn rewards the father. Furthermore, if a man marries a beautiful wife, he offer her to his elder brother. These people are known today as the Wuhu.

安史之乱期间,张巡固守城池,城中人相食,张巡杀妾以飨将士,对于张巡以食人为代价的守土之功是否应该奖励,出现了一次伦理学的辩论,历代不息,《柏杨白话版资治通鉴》收集了若干历史上争论的意见。
黄巢之乱的时候,几支反叛军队成规模地常规性地以人为食,黄巢军“掠人为粮,生投于碓硙,并骨食之,号给粮之处曰‘舂磨寨’”,秦宗权军“啖人为储,军士四出,则盐尸而从”,李罕之军“不耕稼,专以剽掠为资,啖人为粮”。真是惨烈之甚。
唐朝陈藏器写的《本草拾遗》写人肉可以治病,这应该不是他的发明,而只是民间认知的一种总结,可能只是太多不得已的饥荒食人造成一种认知扭曲,但又反过来理性化了食人,到宋朝的时候,割肉疗亲开始出现。

从《宋史》开始,二十五史开始频繁记载割肉疗亲的尽孝的故事,这反映了儒家伦理和人肉治病理念的普及,宋朝官方是褒奖这种做法的,之后元朝法律禁止,明清官方态度有所保留,但屡禁不止,愈演愈烈。
* 冠冕百行莫大于孝,范防百为莫大于义。先王兴孝以教民厚,民用不薄;兴义以教民睦,民用不争。率天下而由孝义,非履信思顺之世乎。太祖、太宗以来,子有复父仇而杀人者,壮而释之;刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;至于数世同居,辄复其家。一百余年,孝义所感,醴泉、甘露、芝草、异木之瑞,史不绝书,宋之教化有足观者矣。作《孝义传》。《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》

《清史稿》记载的割肉疗亲的事迹比二十五史以往各朝都多,但其实雍正有一段诏书不赞同割肉疗亲,朝廷的实际做法似乎是迫于民情不得已的情况下低调褒奖(“破格报可”),社会风气看来是称赞这种行为的。
* 雍正六年三月壬子,世宗谕曰:“……父母爱子,无所不至,若因己病而致其子割肝刲股以充饮馔、和汤药,纵其子无恙,父母未有不惊忧恻怛惨惕而不安者,况因此而伤生,岂父母所忍闻乎?父母有疾,固人子尽心竭力之时,傥能至诚纯孝,必且感天地、动鬼神,不必以惊世骇俗之为,著奇于日用伦常之外。……倘训谕之后,仍有不爱躯命,蹈于危亡者,朕亦不概加旌表,以成激烈轻生之习也。”(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)
* 清兴关外,俗纯朴,爱亲敬长,内悫而外严。既定鼎,礼教益备。定旌格,循明旧。亲存,奉侍竭其力;亲殁,善居丧,或庐于墓;亲远行,万里行求,或生还,或以丧归。友于兄弟,同居三五世以上,号义门,及诸义行,皆礼旌。亲病,刲股刳肝;亲丧,以身殉:皆以伤生有禁,有司以事闻,辄破格报可。所以教民者,若是其周其密也。国史承前例,撰次孝友传,亦颇及诸义行。(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)

Among all major civilizations worldwide, China has the most recorded instances of cannibalism.<ref> [美]郑麒来(Key Ray Chong)《中国古代的食人:人吃人行为透视》,中国社会科学出版社, 1994, "中国封建时代的有关(食人习俗的)文字记载是极为丰富的。可以说,中国封建时代的食人习俗证据远比其他时代或其他国家为多"</ref> This entry documented 388 cannibalism cases recorded in 530 instances from the ''Twenty-Five Histories'' ([[w:Twenty-Four Histories|Twenty-Four Histories]] and [[w:Draft History of Qing|Draft History of Qing]]), consistent with prior research <ref name=鄭麒來統計> [美]郑麒来(Key Ray Chong)《中国古代的食人:人吃人行为透视》,中国社会科学出版社,1994年版,第153-154页。</ref>. According to another study, the [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], a comprehensive Chinese encyclopedic work, recorded 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting own flesh to cure parents' illness<ref name=鄭麒來統計/>.
Several factors are generally considered responsible for this prevalence.
* China experienced more famines than any other major civilizations.<ref>邓拓,《中国救荒史》,1937年,“我国灾荒之多,世界罕有,就文献可考的记载来看,从公元前十八世纪,直到公元二十世纪的今日,将近四千年间,几于无年无灾,也几乎无年无荒。西欧学者甚至称我国为‘饥荒的国度’(The Land of Famine)。” </ref>
* China experienced the most frequent and intense conflicts among major civilizations.<ref>秦晖,《中国历史上,何来如此深仇大恨》,“中国秦以后历代王朝的寿命不但比‘封建’时代的周‘王朝’和欧洲、日本的宗主王系(不是dynasty)短很多,其‘改朝换代’的巨大破坏性更几乎是人类历史上独有的。……世界史上别的民族有遭到外来者屠杀而种族灭绝的,有毁灭于庞贝式的自然灾变的,但像中国这样残忍的自相残杀确实难找他例。”</ref> <ref> 福山《政治秩序的起源》,2014年,广西师范大学出版社,第7章,“与其他军事化社会相比,周朝的中国异常残暴。有个估计,秦国成功动员了其总人口的8%到20%,而古罗马共和国的仅1%,希腊提洛同盟的仅5.2%,欧洲早期现代则更低”</ref>
* Specific cultural beliefs developed in China, including:
** Rationalizing cannibalism as a means of expressing animosity<ref>《左传·襄公二十一年》,“然二子者,譬如禽兽,臣食其肉而寝处其皮矣”;岳飞,《满江红》,“壮志饥餐胡虏肉,笑谈渴饮匈奴血”;《三国演义》、《水浒传》多处有吃仇人肉的描写;等等</ref>.
** Attributing medicinal properties to human flesh <ref>唐,陈藏器,《本草拾遗》;明,李时珍,《本草纲目》</ref>.
** Viewing the practice of cutting own flesh to treat elder relatives as a noble demonstration of filial piety<ref> 《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》:“太祖、太宗以来,……刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;”</ref>
* China established a comprehensive official historical record system early on, which remained functional even during periods of significant social chaos, preserving extensive historical documentation.

However, this statistics is incomplete and partially incorrect. It omitted [[:w:Book of Zhou|Book of Zhou]], [[:w:Book of Qi|Book of Southern Qi]], [[:w:Old Book of Tang|Old Book of Tang]], [[:w:New Book of Tang|New Book of Tang]] originally included in the ''Twenty-Five Histories,'' and failed to remove duplicated records in [[:w:History of Ming|History of Ming]].
In addition to previous research, Key-Ray Chong compiled 653 cases of filial piety act involving cutting one's own flesh to cure relatives in [[w:Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China|Complete Classics Collection of Ancient China]], of which 99% involved women, and 56% of these cases involved daughters-in-law cutting their own flesh for their mothers-in-law. Although this polarization may be the result of intentional selection bias, as both male and female cases of flesh-cutting to cure relatives are well documented in the ''Twenty-Five Histories.''

{{Blockquote|text=Chinese practice of survival cannibalism does not significantly differ from that of other cultures; However, "learned cannibalism''(習得性食人)''" in China earned unique characteristics, particularly in its historical prevalence and specific motivations.
Unlike many other regions, where religion played a central role in cannibalistic rituals, Chinese practices were largely secular, often driven by two emotional extremes: '''Virtue and Affection''', including acts performed out of loyalty (尽忠), filial piety (尽孝), or deep love. '''Vengeance and Hatred''', on the other hand, are acts performed for revenge (報仇), to wash away shames (雪恥), or out of pure animosity. To give an example, During wartimes, cannibalism was frequently practiced as a symbolic and literal act of consuming the enemy, rooted in deep-seated hatred.
It is worth noting that ''learned cannibalism'' was also associated with '''culinary appreciation''' or '''medicinal therapy''' among the upper classes. Human flesh was perceived as both a food source and a potent medicine, especially valued for enhancing sexual function. For example, Li Shizhen's [[:w:Compendium of Materia Medica|Compendium of Materia Medica]] listed 35 human organs or substances used for medicinal purposes.}}
==Xia, Zhou and Shang Dynasty==
Note that early Chinese history often blends myth with oral tradition. While these records lack contemporary archeological evidence, they are also historically significant as they reflect how later generations conceptualized the origins of social norms including cannibalism.
# c. 1940 BCE, Xia Dynasty
#: '''English:''' He [Houyi] relied on his archery and neglected civil affairs... The family retainers killed and boiled him, and fed him to his sons. His sons could not bear to eat him and died at city gate.
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-cn|「……(后羿)恃其射也,不修民事而淫於原獸,棄武羅、伯因、熊髡、圉而用寒浞。……羿猶不悛,將歸自田,家眾殺而亨之。以食其子;其子不忍食諸,死於窮門。」}}
#: '''Source:''' ''Zuo Zhuan'', Chapter of Duke Xiang (《左傳·襄公》)
# Reign of [[:w:King Weng of Zhou|King Weng of Zhou]], c.1112-1050 BCE
#: '''English:''' According to ''Diwang Shiji''(The Century of Emperors), [King] Zhou imprisoned King Wen(of Zhou Dynasty). King Wen's eldest son, Boyi Kao, was serving as a hostage in Yin and acted as a charioteer for King Zhou. King Zhou boiled [Boyi Kao] to make a meat soup and presented it to King Wen, saying: "''A true sage should not eat a soup made of his own son.''"
#: King Wen ate it. King Zhou then remarked, "Who was it said the Earl of the West (King Wen) was a sage? He ate a soup made of his own son without even realizing it."
#: '''Original:''' 「《帝王世紀》云,(紂)囚文王,文王之長子曰伯邑考,質於殷,為紂御。紂烹為羮,賜文王曰:聖人當不食其子羮。文王食之,紂曰,誰謂西伯聖者,食其子羮尚不知也。」

== Spring and Autumn / Warring States Periods ==
The [[:w:Spring and Autumn period|Spring and Autumn]] and [[:w:Warring States period|Warring States]] periods (approx. 770–221 BC) marked a significant era where cannibalism was documented under various social and political motivations. Famous Chinese idioms such as "exchanging children to eat" (''易子而食'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) and "eating the flesh and sleeping on the skin" (''食肉寝皮'', from [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]]) both originated during this time.
Cases of cannibalism during this period can be categorized into four dominant motivations.
# '''Warfare and Siege Famines:''' The most frequent cause. During prolonged sieges, resources were so depleted that citizens resorted to "exchanging children to eat" to avoid consuming their own offspring.
# '''Political motivation:''' A famous case is Yi Ya (易牙), who steamed his own son to serve as a delicacy to Duke Huan of Qi to prove his absolute loyalty.
# '''Intimidation:''' Cannibalism was used as a tool of terror or vengeance. Examples include the Di people killing and eating Duke Yi of Wei(''狄人殺食衛懿公''), or the Ruler of Zhongshan boiling the son of the his own general, Yue Yang(''中山君烹樂羊子''), to test his loyalty.
# '''Cultural customs:''' Early records mention peripheral groups, such as the "People-Eating Kingdom" (啖人國), though these may be the result of Han-centric view of "barbaric" outsiders.
While the [[:w:Zuo Zhuan|Zuo Zhuan]] records at least 15 major famines, there are no explicit official records of cannibalism resulting from natural disasters during this specific period. However, the absence of such records does not necessarily prove the absence of the practice; rather, it may reflect the selective focus bias of official records on military and political events over lower-class sufferings.
=== Before Warring State period ===
# The practice of "Yi Di" (''宜弟'')
#: '''English''': In the ancient past, there was a kingdom called Kaishu to the east of Yue. When a first-born son was born, they would dismember and eat him. The practice is called "Yi Di" (meaning "benefiting the younger brothers").
#: '''Original:''' 昔者越之東有輆沭之國者,其長子生,則解而食之,謂之「宜弟」。
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Mozi|Mozi(Book)]]'', "Moderation in Funerals" (《墨子·節葬下》)
# Critique of "Yi Di", by Mozi
#: '''English:''' Luyang Wenjun said to Mozi: "South of Chu, there is a kingdom of man-eaters called Qiao. When a first-born son is born, they butcher and eat him, calling it 'Yi Di.' If the meat is flavorful, they present it to their ruler, who rewards the father. Is this not a detestable custom?"
#: Mozi replied: "Even the customs of the Central Kingdoms are similar. How is killing a father and rewarding his son any different from eating a son and rewarding his father? If we do not govern by Benevolence and Righteousness, how can we criticize the barbarians for eating their sons?"
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-tw|魯陽文君語子墨子曰:「楚之南有啖人之國者橋,其國之長子生,則鮮而食之,謂之宜弟。美,則以遺其君,君喜則賞其父。豈不惡俗哉?」子墨子曰:「雖中國之俗,亦猶是也。殺其父而賞其子,何以異食其子而賞其父者哉?苟不用仁義,何以非夷人食其子也?」}}
#: '''Source:''' ''[[:w:Mozi|Mozi(Book)]]'', "Lu Wen" (《墨子·魯問》)
# Ethnographic Records of the Wuhu
#: '''English:''' To the west of the Nanman (Southern Barbarians) lies the Kingdom of Man-eaters, named [[:w:Cochin|Cochin]](Crossed rivers). There, man and woman bath in the same river, thus the name.
#: It is their custom to always dismember and eat the first-born son, calling it "Yi Di." If the taste is delicious, they offer it to their ruler, who in turn rewards the father. Furthermore, if a man marries a beautiful wife, he offer her to his elder brother. These people are known today as the Wuhu.
#: '''Original:''' {{lang|zh-tw|其西有啖人國,生首子輒解而食之,謂之宜弟。味旨,則以遺其君,君喜而賞其父。取妻美,則讓其兄。今烏滸人是也。}}

=== In Warring State period ===
# During reigns of Duke Huan of Qi (''齊桓公'', r. 685–643 BCE)
#: '''English''': During the reign of Duke Huan of Qi, Yi Ya served the Duke as his personal chef. The Duke once said that he had never tasted steamed infant. Upon hearing this, Yi Ya steamed his own firstborn son and presented the dish to the Duke. Human nature is such that one loves one's own children; yet he who does not love his own son. Then, what he would do to his own lord?
#: '''Original:''' 夫易牙以调和事(齐桓)公,公曰"惟蒸婴儿之未尝",于是蒸其首子而献之公。人情非不爱其子也,于子之不爱,将何有于公?

# 594 BCE: The Siege of Song
#: '''English''': The people of Song, fearing for their lives, sent Hua Yuan on a secret night mission into the Chu encampment. He climbed into the bed of Zi Fan and roused him, saying: "Our lord has sent me, Yuan, to convey our dire situation: our city is reduced to trading children for food and splitting bones for fuel. Even so, a covenant made beneath the city walls — one that would mean the ruin of our state — we cannot accept. Withdraw thirty li (''unit of length, approx. 3 kilometers long)'' from us, and we will obey every command."

##: '''English''': In the twentieth year of his reign, King Zhuang of Chu besieged Song in retaliation for the killing of a Chu envoy. After a siege of five months, the food supply within the city was completely exhausted. The inhabitants resorted to trading children for food and burning bones for fuel.

# c. 500 BCE: Zhi the Robber (''盜跖'')
#: '''English''': Confucius and Liuxia Ji were friends; Liuxia Ji's younger brother was named Zhi the Robber. Zhi the Robber commanded a following of nine thousand men, swept through the empire with impunity, plundering the various lords.
#: He stormed into dwellings, stole cattle and horses, and abducted women. Driven by greed, he cast aside all bonds of kinship, disregarding his parents and siblings, and made no offerings to his ancestors.
#: Wherever his forces passed, large states fortified their walls and small states withdrew into strongholds, and all the people suffered greatly. [...] At that time, Zhi the Robber was resting his men on the southern slope of Mount Tai, mincing human livers and eating them.
#: '''Original:''' 孔子与柳下季为友,柳下季之弟名曰盗跖。盗跖从卒九千人,横行天下,侵暴诸侯;穴室枢户,驱人牛马,取人妇女;贪得忘亲,不顾父母兄弟,不祭先祖。所过之邑,大国守城,小国入保,万民苦之。……盗跖乃方休卒徒太山之阳,脍人肝而餔之。

#: Marquis Wen of Wei said to his advisor Du Shize: "Yue Yang, for my sake, ate the flesh of his own son." Du replied: "One who can eat his own son's flesh. Who would he not eat?" After Yue Yang had pacified Zhongshan, Marquis Wen rewarded his achievement but harbored doubts about his character.
#: '''Original:''' 乐羊为魏将而攻中山。其子在中山,中山之君烹其子而遗之羹,乐羊坐于幕下而啜之,尽一杯。文侯谓睹师赞曰:"乐羊以我之故,食其子之肉。"赞对曰:"其子之肉尚食之,其谁不食?"乐羊既罢中山,文侯赏其功而疑其心。

==Han Dynasty==
The wars between the Qin and Han dynasties caused large-scale famine and population decline across China, a pattern that would recur with nearly every subsequent dynastic transition.
# Early Han Dynasty: Famine and Cannibalism Following the Collapse of Qin
#: '''English''': At the founding of the Han dynasty, inheriting the devastation left by Qin, the various lords rose simultaneously in conflict. The people abandoned their livelihoods, and a great famine ensued. Price of one shi of rice reached five thousand coins; people ate each other, more than half the population perished. Emperor Gaozu then issued an order permitting the people to sell their children, and directed the starving to seek food in Shu and Han.

# Liu Ping Spared by Cannibals, ''Hou Han Shu''

Tears streamed down his face.
#: The bandits, moved by his sincerity, took pity and released him. Liu Ping returned, fed his mother, and then told her: "I made a pledge to the bandits; honour forbids me to deceive them."

Go, friend; we have not the heart to eat thee." And so he was spared.

安史之乱期间,张巡固守城池,城中人相食,张巡杀妾以飨将士,对于张巡以食人为代价的守土之功是否应该奖励,出现了一次伦理学的辩论,历代不息,《柏杨白话版资治通鉴》收集了若干历史上争论的意见。
黄巢之乱的时候,几支反叛军队成规模地常规性地以人为食,黄巢军“掠人为粮,生投于碓硙,并骨食之,号给粮之处曰‘舂磨寨’”,秦宗权军“啖人为储,军士四出,则盐尸而从”,李罕之军“不耕稼,专以剽掠为资,啖人为粮”。真是惨烈之甚。
唐朝陈藏器写的《本草拾遗》写人肉可以治病,这应该不是他的发明,而只是民间认知的一种总结,可能只是太多不得已的饥荒食人造成一种认知扭曲,但又反过来理性化了食人,到宋朝的时候,割肉疗亲开始出现。

从《宋史》开始,二十五史开始频繁记载割肉疗亲的尽孝的故事,这反映了儒家伦理和人肉治病理念的普及,宋朝官方是褒奖这种做法的,之后元朝法律禁止,明清官方态度有所保留,但屡禁不止,愈演愈烈。
* 冠冕百行莫大于孝,范防百为莫大于义。先王兴孝以教民厚,民用不薄;兴义以教民睦,民用不争。率天下而由孝义,非履信思顺之世乎。太祖、太宗以来,子有复父仇而杀人者,壮而释之;刲股割肝,咸见褒赏;至于数世同居,辄复其家。一百余年,孝义所感,醴泉、甘露、芝草、异木之瑞,史不绝书,宋之教化有足观者矣。作《孝义传》。《宋史· 卷四百五十六·列传第二百一十五·孝义》

==清==
《清史稿》记载的割肉疗亲的事迹比二十五史以往各朝都多,但其实雍正有一段诏书不赞同割肉疗亲,朝廷的实际做法似乎是迫于民情不得已的情况下低调褒奖(“破格报可”),社会风气看来是称赞这种行为的。
* 雍正六年三月壬子,世宗谕曰:“……父母爱子,无所不至,若因己病而致其子割肝刲股以充饮馔、和汤药,纵其子无恙,父母未有不惊忧恻怛惨惕而不安者,况因此而伤生,岂父母所忍闻乎?父母有疾,固人子尽心竭力之时,傥能至诚纯孝,必且感天地、动鬼神,不必以惊世骇俗之为,著奇于日用伦常之外。……倘训谕之后,仍有不爱躯命,蹈于危亡者,朕亦不概加旌表,以成激烈轻生之习也。”(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)
* 清兴关外,俗纯朴,爱亲敬长,内悫而外严。既定鼎,礼教益备。定旌格,循明旧。亲存,奉侍竭其力;亲殁,善居丧,或庐于墓;亲远行,万里行求,或生还,或以丧归。友于兄弟,同居三五世以上,号义门,及诸义行,皆礼旌。亲病,刲股刳肝;亲丧,以身殉:皆以伤生有禁,有司以事闻,辄破格报可。所以教民者,若是其周其密也。国史承前例,撰次孝友传,亦颇及诸义行。(《清史稿·卷四百九十七·列传二百八十四·孝义一》)

== Ontology, categories and social sciences ==
Summary of a discussion with @[[User:Solstag|Solstag]] :
- Science and technology studies developped by Callon and Latour invite to observe the social world without predefined categories in mind and to allow categories to emerge in a non-rigid way. Wikidata allows for such flexible ontology and category building. As for what is the ideal ontology, it does not have to be static, the ontology should stay connected to research practices.
- When we do qualitative research (what is called "coding") we build categories to build our own perspective on our data. We rarely consider that what we do is building a database of data, concepts, categories and relations between them. However, it can be meaningful to share this database with others to help them build their own perspective.

/* Posting on talk pages using "Quasi-AI" depending on user preference */ quick note

text/x-wiki
== Main focus: my "idea" ==
* This is my [[Draft:The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea]]. There goes the "main effort" based on my other smaller effort in various places and also by using the methodology I one day hope I will make.
* [[User:ThinkingScience/ND_Inspired_Idea_Notebook|Daily Diary of ND Inspired Idea]]
* These are my course notes: [[User:ThinkingScience/Draftspace/Coursera]]
=== Secondary Goals ===
These are secondary goals in no particular order:
* Contribute to Wikiversity by understanding and improving on content:
** I begin with interpreting the [[Neurodiversity Movement]] by creating this subpage: [[User:ThinkingScience/Neurodiversity_Movement_Interpretation]]
* Documenting all "Quasi-AI" inputs and outputs related to a particular action:
** [[User:ThinkingScience/All General AI Prompt History Archive|All General AI Prompt History Archive]]
== Taking responsibility for famous people or people to focus on in [[Draft:The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea]] ==
I need to take responsibility for the choices I make. If any of my choices resulted in a harm to a real person I am responsible whether I agree or not to any blame being put on me.
This section may be moved to a sub-page if I think it starts getting too "cluttered" and later into more sub-pages if the list just grows and grows.
=== T ===
==== '''Taylor Swift''' ====
Taylor Swift. Why I chose Taylor Swift. I have watched interviews with her before. She is an interesting person to me. I discovered she is open about her creation process. I value that in human beings and that includes people I meet offline, in the "real world" but it will be a challenge for me to make video notes that are "Do no harm". I may be "way in over my head". Please help me if you think I'm doing something wrong.
She has a dedicated follower base which may have a large influence. Maybe I'll suffer for this but keeping my "idea" locked inside "my head" I think will cause greater harm to me than good. I know what risk I am taking...or probably not but I gotta move forward or try to. Perhaps my fears are greater than real risks in reality but who knows?
==== '''Tom Hanks''' ====
I chose Tom Hanks because I need to move on. In my personal notes I have tens of famous people and not. Now that I'm adding people here I need to adhere to the Wikiversity rules and guidelines so the list will be limited, or will it?
Maybe it will grow because applying "Do no harm" is a very good foundation considering I am not consciously trying to come up with idea how my comparisons here will do not harm and I think that is healthy for both me and for everyone!
== April 20th experiment, "AI Decisions, sure. AI-generation NEVER" ==
Starting today on April 20th after 08:46 UTC Time(I got UTC time on this computer where I'm so far only using this account), I'll begin by editing Wikiversity resources by being more encouraged by "yeah, do that" comments by Large Language Models.
Nothing of it will be "AI-generated" but the decisions I take: the reason for the decisions I take may be because of "AI-generation" but of course I will try to stay away from clear stupidity like if the AI-generation says "jump off a cliff". An extreme example, but I wanted to make a point that I won't take any decision and I will question the "AI/LLM" if it suggests something that to me sounds insane.
If you see anything weird please comment on my talk page after you've reverted my edits.
When this experiment ends, I don't have a plan for that yet. User input might help.
This is where I make notes of decisions that may motivate me to do edits in places. It should include both inputs and outputs and what kind of "version" of "AI"s/LLMs I'm using:
* [[/April 20th Experiment Notes|"AI Notes" for motivation purposes in this "experiment"]]
=== Defining the end goal ===
The end goal is supposed to make me make useful edits or being able to make edits or contributions on more than just only the projects I'm "mainly" interested in.
'''Success Criteria'''
* "Did the AI's output lead me to make a useful edit on a page I wouldn't have thought about and/or chosen on my own?"
** This question was modified by myself based on an AI's output(this part was generated by "AI Mode" on May 1, 2026)
== Coursera schedule and notes ==
Today April 16, 2026 my contributions contain a lot of spelling mistakes. They may be present other days too. You'll probably spot spelling mistakes all over.
My studying schedule as I've understood it so far(studying with my mother):
This schedule is not reliable(cause my studying partner keeps changing the time, which is not necessarily bad):
UTC TIME: 07:30 - 09:30 (2 hours a day, 6 hours a week)
* Monday
* Thursday
* Saturday
== I'm studying on Coursera and about their Terms of Use ==
'''Nothing here is legal advice'''. This is very important.
Nothing in this "Wikisection" constitutes legal advice! Please don't blindly follow my advice and if someone copies some parts of this text without providing context then they are responsible for what they share! If you have been tricked by scammers that's sad but I am NOT responsible for illegal activities.
* web.archive.org/web/20260325233813/https://www.coursera.org/about/terms
"When you create your Coursera account, and when you subsequently use certain features, you must provide us with accurate and complete information, and you agree to update your information to keep it accurate and complete."
My interpretation of that is that on Coursera I have to provide a real name. There is a field for "Full name"(retrieved 2026-04-09 UTC YYYY-MM-DD). How does that correspond to these terms? It doesn't say "Real name" but even if it did, what if I choose a name for myself and I'd like to call myself ThinkingScience? Is it still accurate?
They don't specify what I actually have to do, just based on my quote. It would be nice for me and other Coursera learners to know what is true. Is the privacy on Wikiversity better? I'd say it is because on Coursera we are forced to provide an email address to create an account. We are not forced to do that on Wikiversity, Wikidata etc.
== notes about this account ==
This account is an alternative account on a computer I don't trust. It should never be allowed to vote and if it does please block this account. Doubling down on this today at 2026-04-30!(intent unchanged)
It's an alt of [[User:Dekatriofovia]] which unfortunately I have to prove right now despite me being in a hurry...so I'll edit my account at Dekatriofovia at the same time almost and publish at the same time...so you know it's me.
The reason for this account is it's on a computer with a bigger screen so I can more easily read books and documents.
== a thing I did not regret(modified section title) ==
This may be blathering but it ends with another Wikilink where I will pass my "idea" through '''Wikiversity:Research ethics''' and through anything else that might be required before anything enters Draft space. The "idea" is "'''The Neurodiversity-inspired idea'''".
[[Protoscience]] was an interesting read. I think it will be calming for me if my idea is proven to be pseudoscience cause I can stop worrying about it and leave it behind me. "The Neurodiversity-inspired idea"(in lack for a better name, for now) will not be published in main space, only in draft space.
[[Wikiversity:Original research]] made me think "I may be way over my head" (though I stumbled around a bit due to not knowing English at an advanced enough level...this parenthesis is about some unimportant trivia).
I'm gonna place everything regarding "The Neurodiversity-inspired idea" into draft space and pass it through '''Wikiversity:Research ethics'''(sorry for repeating myself) and anything else I can find and also ask the community here on Wikiversity what else to place it through.
I thought I was gonna create '''User:ThinkingScience/The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea'''(but turns out I was encouraged to create it in Draft: space ... (this paragraph has been modified. Edit history might keep the original). Here are my notes again which I wanted to link to [[User:ThinkingScience/ND Inspired Idea Notebook]]
'''Draft:The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea''' that probably is in line with "be bold".
=== It happened, a small burden has been lifted ===
I posted to the [[Wikiversity:Colloquium]] https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiversity:Colloquium&oldid=2805080
Thing may be archive in the future. I've lost many things that way.(but also re-discovered many things that landed in the archive that I had posted too!)
One week. One small burden lifted. It was the only way forward. I may have been driven insane otherwise or this is just a very bad day I'm having. Full of things that "real life" is demanding of me.
More specifically, this is what I posted [[Wikiversity:Colloquium#Advice_needed:_A_Neurodiversity-inspired_Idea/observation]]
== Posting on talk pages using "Quasi-AI" depending on user preference ==
This is a list of users who have told me how they prefer maximum amount of characters/words to be if I post on their talk page using "Quasi-AI"[1](whatever that is since there's no such Q item nor alias on Wikidata right now regarding that term):
* [[User:Juandev]] - max amount of words: 100 as long as it respects [[Wikiversity:Artificial intelligence]]
* [[User:Jtneill]] - no restrictions but advising to read [[Wikiversity:Artificial intelligence]]

'''On this page I plan to add daily notes regarding [[Draft:The Neurodiversity-inspired Idea]].'''
== "Diary" ==
== April 18, 2026 ==
A suggestion I got was that it may help the project if I provide some questions along with the idea. 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.
== May 19, 2026, Tuesday ==
[[v:el:Χρήστης:ThinkingScience|User ThinkingScience on Greek Wikiversity]]
Today I can work on the translation and other work on Greek Wikiversity regarding my idea. This is good so I can continue the work on explaining to friends and family regarding my "idea"/"observation". I might work right now...maybe make more notes later today?
== June 22, 2026, Monday ==
I think I'm forced to side-track due to nobody yet having shown interest in learning what my draft is about, nor interacted with me in any meaningful way yet. All initiative has come from me so it's only right it continues to come from me.
In the topic of [[Neurodiversity Movement]] I may begin to contribute.
Well I guess that I managed to contact at least 1 user. Wouldn't hurt with multiple but I guess I have to choose my "battles" and I only had so much "mental energy" for today...and it may sound silly but I need a break now...I think...

(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.
== Solve the problem ==
To solve the Athena problem for a given base ''b'', we must [[:w:Computing|compute]] the elements 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''), and find the smallest prime > ''b'' in all such families.
We call 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'') "linear" families, and we reduce these families by removing all trailing digits ''y'' from ''x'', and removing all leading digits ''y'' from ''z'', to make the families be easier, e.g. family 12333{3}33345 in base ''b'' is reduced to family 12{3}45 in base ''b'', since they are in fact the same family. Our [[:w:Algorithm|algorithm]] then proceeds as follows:
* 1. ''M'' := {minimal primes in base ''b'' of length 2 or 3}, ''L'' := union of all ''x''{''Y''}''z'' (where ''x'' and ''z'' are strings (may be empty) of digits in base ''b'') such that ''x'' ≠ 0 and ''gcd''(''z'', ''b'') = 1 and ''Y'' is the set of digits ''y'' in base ''b'' such that ''xyz'' has no subsequence in ''M''.
* 2. While ''L'' contains nonlinear families (families which are not linear families): Explore each family of ''L'', and update ''L''. Examine each family of ''L'' by:
* 2.1. Let ''w'' be the shortest string in the family. If ''w'' has a subsequence in ''M'', then remove the family from ''L''. If ''w'' represents a prime, then add ''w'' to ''M'' and remove the family from ''L''.
* 2.2. If possible, simplify the family.
* 2.3. Using the techniques below (covering congruence, algebraic factorization, or combine of them), check if the family can be proven to only contain composites (only count the numbers > ''b''), and if so then remove the family from ''L''.
* 3. Update ''L'', after each split examine the new families as in step 2.
e.g. in decimal (base ''b'' = 10):
''M'' := {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}
''L'' := {2{0,2}1, 2{0,8}7, 3{0,3,6,9}3, 3{0,3,6,9}9, 4{6}9, 5{0,5,8}1, 5{0,2}7, 6{0,3,6,9}3, 6{0,3,4,6,9}9, 7{0,7}7, 8{0,5}1, 8{0}7, 9{0,2,5,8}1, 9{0,3,6,9}3, 9{0,3,4,6,9}9}
and since 2221 is prime, it follows that the family 2{0,2}1 splits into the families 2{0}1 and 2{0}2{0}1
and since the family 2{0}1 can be proven to contain no primes > base (since all numbers in this family are divisible by 3), it can be removed
and since 20201 is prime, it follows that the family 2{0}2{0}1 splits into the families 2{0}21 and 22{0}1
221 and 2021 are composites, but 20021 is prime, thus add 20021 to ''L''
none of 221, 2201, 22001, 220001, 2200001 are primes, but 22000001 is prime, thus add 22000001 to ''L''
and since the family 3{0,3,6,9}3 can be proven to contain no primes > base (since all numbers in this family are divisible by 3), it can be removed
etc.
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''', some regular overapproximation to ''L'', until we can show ''L''' = ''∅'' (which implies ''L'' = ''∅''). In practice, ''L''' 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'' (specially, for bases ''b'' such that the conjectured smallest Sierpiński number or the conjectured smallest Riesel number is < ''b'', Athena problem in base ''b'' covers the Sierpiński problem in base ''b'' or the Riesel problem in base ''b'', respectively), 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, its algebraic form is (41×13<sup>592198</sup>+27)/4, when written in decimal contains 659677 digits (it is only probable prime, i.e. not definitely prime).

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]])

== The fully proof of Athena 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.

As background for this interview, we review the structure of the government of the [[w:European Union|European Union]] (EU).
== European Union ==
The European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of 27 member states located primarily in Europe with [[w:Special territories of members of the European Economic Area|32 special territories]] or subnational units of EU member states stretching from [[w:Greenland|Greenland]] to the southern Indian ocean and the South Pacific. The EU has a population of over 450 million and nominal gross domestic product (GDP) of around €19 trillion in 2025; this makes it roughly one sixth of the global economy. The [[w:Institutions of the European Union|Institutions of the European Union]] encompass seven principal decision-making bodies:
# [[w:European Parliament|European Parliament]], whose approval is required for proposed legislation to become law. It currently has 720 members (MEPs). It functions roughly like the [[w:United States House of Representatives|House of Representatives in the US]], in that MEPs can amend or reject proposed legislation, though they cannot initiate legislation.
# [[w:European Council|European Council]] of heads of state or government.
# [[w:Council of the European Union|Council of the European Union]], often referred to simply as the Council and less formally as the "Council of Ministers". This is a legislative body, which works with the European Parliament to amend and approve or veto proposals of the European Commission, which holds the right of initiative; neither the Council nor the Parliament can initiate legislation. The Presidency of the council is not a single post, but is held by a member state's government and rotates every six months. It functions roughly like the [[w:United States Senate|Senate in the US]] but cannot initiate legislation.
# [[w:European Commission|European Commission]] (EC), the executive cabinet of the European Union. Currently, there is one Commissioner per member state, including the president (currently [[w:Ursula von der Leyen|Ursula von der Leyen]]), but members are bound by their oath of office to represent the interest of the EU as a whole rather than their home state. All EU legislation must be initiated by the Commission, to be amended and approved or vetoed by the European Parliament and the Council.

Katerina Canyon<ref name=Canyon/> describes the Peace Economy Project (PEP),<ref name=PEP/>, their vision and activities. Canyon is PEP's Executive Director. She holds a BA from [[w:Saint Louis University|Saint Louis University]] and a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD) from the [[w:Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy|Fletcher School]].<ref><!--Katerina Canyon: Poet, Spoken Word Artist-->{{cite Q|Q140291133}}</ref> Her publications include two recent books of poetry<ref>Canyon (2021); Canyon and Canyon (2017).</ref> a novel,<ref>Canyon (in preparation).</ref> and numerous shorter pieces of political commentary disseminated in a variety of outlets.
PEP works to "Cut Military Spending. Fund Human Needs. They are "guided by the belief that true security is built through care, dignity, and a shared well-being—not punishment, militarization, or fear." Their work is grounded in 8 core values:
# Human Dignity.
# Nonviolence.
# Peaceful and Civic Engagement.
# Community Safety Over Militarization.
# Accountability and Transparency.
# Care-Centered Policy.
# Solidarity Across Difference.
# Thoughtful, Strategic Action.<ref><!--Peace Economy Project Core Values-->{{cite Q|Q140291167}}</ref>
Canyon is interviewed by Spencer Graves.<ref><!--Spencer Graves-->{{cite Q|Q56452480}}</ref>
== Highlights ==
:''These excerpts are rushed, lightly edited for readability, and may not be in final form. The ultimate authority on what was said is the accompanying video.''
When asked for the most important things she would like to communicate to this audience, Canyon said, {{quote|
I would like to communicate to our audience the importance of media literacy. Especially I'd like to talk to poets and other creative influencers in ways of participating in making sure that events in this world are properly and truthfully documented. ...
I'm much influenced by the poet [[w:Muriel Rukeyser|Muriel Rukeyser]], who was a documentary poet in the early to mid 20th century. She would use her poetics to talk about events that she witnessed, particularly when it had to do with minors and the health effects that they were facing when going into the mines. Many of them were dying. So Muriel Rockeyser wrote beautiful poems about the experience in order to open up dialog and to reveal what was going on with these people, who would not have been represented otherwise.
They were being overshadowed by corporate structures that also controlled the media, and at times poetry is the way to get through to people. When you look at what happens during wars, it's often poets who stand out and express themselves either through poetry or through independent media.}}
Graves asked if the best known poets might partner with musicians?
Canyon agreed. "That is true. A lot of poems are musical. And ... a lot of songs are musical. From soft alternative music to heavy metal to rap music, it's all poetics. And they all bear a certain level of truth. You can also say that song makers are the most known truth tellers that we have right now."
Graves mentioned [[w:Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan]]'s "[[w:The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll|Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen]]".
=== Peace Economy Project ===
Graves then asked for an overview of the "Peace Economy Project",<ref name=PEP/> Canyon said, {{quote|
The Peace Economy Project is an organization that's been around since 1977. It started in [[w:St. Louis|St. Louis]]. One of the founders is still on our board today, Mary Ann McGivern.<ref><!--Mary Ann McGivern-->{{cite Q|Q140309851}}</ref> She and a group of citizens of St. Louis were having issues with what was going on with [[w:McDonnell Douglas|McDonnell Douglas]], now [[w:Boeing|Boeing]]. They were against weapons manufacturing in their city of St. Louis. So they protested that. From there, the Peace Economy Project grew. A lot of our focus is primarily on St. Louis in Missouri, but we decided that what we face locally, every state in this country faces ... .
We decided that in order to impact our cities that we needed to not only focus locally but we needed to also focus nationally. We do this through our fellowship programs. We train fellows to do research. Like I said, truth and documentary poetics. But any way of researching and documenting the truth is very important to our mission, which is to educate the public on the effects of an unchecked military industrial complex. We take a lot of college fellows. Sometimes we will take on a high school fellow, but most are college and grad school.
They will research different areas in order to look into the impact that the military has on different parts of our life. A lot of our fellows investigate environmental impacts that the military has on their areas. We have fellows from St. Louis, obviously, but we also have fellows that live in New York. We have some in Italy. We have fellows in France.
They're all over the world, and they are investigating the impact that the United States has on their countries and on their communities.}}
=== ''Warheads to Windmills'' ===
Graves mentioned [[w:Timmon Wallis|Timmon Wallis]] and his work on ''Warheads to Windmills''.<ref>Wallis (2018, 2023)</ref> "For example, with the [[w:Kansas City National Security Campus|nuclear bomb plant in Kansas City]], the United States and the public would benefit more if the people doing that work were instead facilitating the transformation to a post-fossil fuel economy."
Canyon agreed. "If they were investing in environmental sustainability instead of putting together warheads, ... that would be a better investment ... . I have numerous fellows that work on this. A lot of our fellows are environmental students. They understand the concept of a peace economy that if we just give people a means of meeting their basic human needs, a good portion of our problems would just go away."
=== Biggest successes ===
Graves asked about their biggest successes so far. Canyon replied, {{quote|
I would say that our major successes have to do with educating people, especially our fellows. They are the ones that are going to be making decisions 20 years from now. We get fellows from [[w:Yale University|Yale]], from [[w:Rutgers University|Rutgers]], from major universities around the world, [[w:London School of Economics|London School of Economics]]. ...
I'm not saying that the military is completely unnecessary. I hope that it will be one day, but I'm not saying that's the case today. But we are saying that the way that they're going about it right now is extreme, we should not be investing as much money as we do in the military.}}
=== "Record Pentagon Spending, Diminished Security: A $1.5 Trillion Warning" ===
Graves noted that a lead article on their website describes, "Record Pentagon spending, diminished security, a $1.5 trillion warning",<ref>Canyon (2026-05).</ref> and asked about that. Canyon replied, {{quote|
"This presidency has exceeded any other presidency in military spending. Each time they go to Congress, they say it's for more security, but we are just getting more entrenched in battles.
[[w:United States withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal|President Obama had an agreement with Iran that President Trump tore up]]. We are battling them today because of the ignorance of that agreement. Now they're negotiating, and they're probably going to end up with close to the same agreement that was dismissed by the early Trump presidency.}}
=== "When Defense Endangers Civilians" ===
Graves mentioned another article on their website that mentioned the Patriot missiles.<ref>Canyon (2026-03) "When Defense Endangers Civilians: Urgent Questions After the Bahrain Explosion".</ref> Graves noted that one of the books by Robin Andersen<ref>[[Media and war|Andersen was interviewed]] for this [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|Media & Democracy]] series 2026-03-27.</ref> says that the introduction of the Patriot missiles, so-called anti-missile missiles, during the [[w:Gulf War|First Persian Gulf War]] actually did more damage than good, because the debris from the Scud missiles was scattered over a wider area with debris from the Patriots actually destroying more property and killing more people.<ref>Andersen (2006, pp. 178-179) quotes MIT prof [[w:Theodore Postol|Postol]] (1991-92).</ref>
Canyon replied, "I actually did a report on that back in 2012, when I was a fellow for the Peace Economy Project. It's true that we invest in these weapon systems, and a lot of the time we put all of this money into these weapons, and not only are they ineffective, most of the time, they impact our environment in significant ways."
Graves affirmed, "Yeah, worse than worse than useless: They're counterproductive."
=== Media sell changes in audience behaviors ===
Graves then asked, "To what extent is it fair to say that every media organization sells changes in audience behavior to the people who give them money?"<ref>It's likely more accurate to say that, "Every media organization sells changes in audience behavior to the people who control most of the money for the media." This is discussed further in [[Media & Democracy lessons for the future]].</ref>
Canyon replied, "A part of me wants to believe in the media. As a communications major and a poet who just finished her MFA in creative writing, I want to believe that the media wants to give the public the truth. But at the end of the day, media empires are businesses. They are going to go where the money is. They're going to want to do what they need to survive. I believe that there are very few organizations that aren't pandering to those who give them money. The only way to avoid that is to have a media that does not depend on major corporate support or on special interests."
Graves continued, "I've interviewed [[Information is a public good per communications prof Pickard|Victor Picard]], who recommends local news nonprofits, maybe multi local multimedia centers funded locally with firewalls that prevent political interference. Boards of directors may be selected at random, like jury duty, and with regular, maybe monthly, meetings, where they invite public input to help journalists select better topics, and maybe recruit volunteer researchers."<ref>Pickard (2023).</ref>
Canyon replied, "I think there does need to be a better investment in peer review and a better investment into local economies, such that the media isn't controlled solely by one ruling class or one ruling entity. I'm truly in favor of local investment. I think that is one significant way to support true documentary media. On top of that, I think that peer review is another way to make sure that happens."
=== Primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible.===
Graves continued, "My research in this area suggests that primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible.<ref>This is a "[[Media Literacy and You#Key claims|Key claim]]" of the book-in-progress on ''[[Media Literacy and You]]'', which provides substantial documentation to support this claim.</ref> Your comment."
Canyon replied, {{quote|
I think that is also true. You want to believe things that are closer to your own experience, so it is very challenging for people who don't have that experience to believe that another experience is true.
It happens a lot with my poetry when I travel and I read about the experiences that happened to me in my childhood. Quite often, people will come to me and say, "Did that really happen to you?"
While, if I am in an audience where either we're mostly women or women of color, they'll come up to me and say, "Thank you for writing that. It is very similar to my own experience."
It is hard for people to believe things that are outside their sphere. That's why things like what's happening in the [[w:Middle East|Middle East]] is so hard for people to grasp. Here in the United States, we do not understand what it means to have your homes bombed. Or to be chased out of your own home. We don't understand the idea that you need to leave your country. So that is why immigration is such a hot button issue.
That is why investing in military support is such a hot button issue, because we don't understand what it is to be in those situations.}}
=== ''Black Like Me'' ===
Graves noted that his grandmother was deeply moved by the book ''[[w:Black Like Me|Black Like Me]]'', which came out in the early part of the civil rights movement.<ref>Griffin (1961).</ref>
Canyon said, "There's a book called ''Empathy and the Novel'', which talks about how fiction and literature move people, and how much can a novel or how much can a poem move someone? Can it move them toward action?<ref>Keen (2007).</ref>
Graves continued, "That book was written by apparently a white guy who took some kind of medication to turn his skin dark and traveled throughout the [[w:Southern United States|South]], and wrote about his experiences -- a white guy being treated like an African American. That book had, apparently, a pretty decent impact on a lot of folks.
Canyon replied, "I can see how that would, because he's the same person, except his skin is different. So he was able to say, "I went through this situation as a white guy, and it was fine. But when I changed the color of my skin, it was a different situation."
=== MALD and MFA ===
Graves noted that Canyon has a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy<ref><!--Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD)-->{{cite Q|Q100606027}} (MALD).</ref> from the [[w:Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy|Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy]]. He asked her to talk about that.
Canyon said, {{quote|
I do have a Master of Art in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School, and I also have a [[w:Master of Fine Arts|Master of Fine Arts]], which I just earned about a week ago from [[w:Mississippi University for Women|Mississippi University for Women]] in creative writing.
It was challenging for me when I decided to pursue international studies with Fletcher, because I have this need to be a journalist. Truth is very important to me. Ever since I was a child, and I used to watch ''[[w:Lou Grant (TV series)|Lou Grant]]'', I wanted to be a journalist that investigated stories and reported the truth to people and help people understand what's going on in the world. But I'm also a poet, so I had those competing drivers. There is one school that would have done that for me, where I could have studied both journalism and poetry: It was [[w:Dartmouth College|Dartmouth]]. But I didn't go to Dartmouth. I decided to go to Fletcher, and that was a tremendous experience for me. It was hard. It was very challenging.
You learned a lot about how the mechanisms work -- not only about the US government but [[w:United Nations System|UN systems]], other international organizations around the world. You were put into scenarios of world events, and you had to figure out how you would solve those problems if you had to make those decisions.
Fletcher trains the next decision makers of this world. I talk about the United States military being in every country in the world. I believe that we could also say that about Fletcher graduates, that we are all over the world trying to do the best we can to make this a better place.}}
=== Deterrence theory ===
Graves said, "I've interviewed [[w:Richard Ned Lebow|Richard Ned Le Beau]], who's a leading expert on [[w:Deterrence theory|deterrence theory]]. He knows that the foundations of deterrence theory assume that your leaders and the leaders of your opposition are rational. But that's contradicted by the available evidence of all kinds of political and military leaders that prove that they're often not terribly rational.<ref>Lebow (2024); Lebow et al. (2023).</ref> Your comment."
Canyon agreed, "That is true. The term [[w:Mutually assured destruction|mutually assured destruction]] comes to mind, where we assume that the United States and China and the [[w:Soviet Union|USSR]] are going to be rational and not enter into conflicts that impact the planet. But I would say, are they being rational in the tiny impacts that happen? You are hard pressed to find any government that tries to act in the best interest of this planet, of the people, when you're bombing countries and leaving millions homeless. When you are leaving children starving and rationalizing it under the guise of security, you are not being a rational human being."
Graves said, "You can only play chicken so many times before everybody loses."
Canyon agreed, "Exactly."
=== Department of War ===
Graves noted that the Peace Economy Project website has a recent blog discussing the US "Department of War" by their founder, Mary Ann McGivern.<ref>McGivern (2026).</ref>
Canyon replied, {{quote|
Yes, Mary Ann McGivern. I asked her to write that article because before it was dubbed the "Department of War", Mary Ann didn't like that we were calling it the "[[w:United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]]". She said it was completely inaccurate, that they were not concerned with defense. They were not concerned with protecting the United States. They were about creating war. So when it happened,<ref>President Trump signed [[w:Executive Order 14347|Executive Order 14347]] titled, "Restoring the United States Department of War" on 2025-09-05. However, the official name is still the "Department of Defense", because it was created by the <!--National Security Act Amendments of 1949-->{{cite Q|Q122052416}} and cannot be changed by an executive order. Its predecessor was the "[[w:United States Department of War|Deparment of War]]", established by Congress in 1789, the first year of the US under its current constitution.</ref> I said, "Mary Ann, you're the one who needs to talk about this, because a lot of people in the country were upset that they changed the name because they felt that with the name change there would be a focus change." Mary Ann was saying, "That happened long ago. Now they're being truthful."
That was something that Mary Ann was definitely qualified to write about, because she was our founder. She is very passionate about peace. She's a nun. I do have an appreciation for nuns and their ability to stand out against the common narrative, and stand up and say, "No! This is what the truth is," and not be afraid of that.
I wouldn't call myself a person of faith, but I admire people who are and use that faith in order to help others to see the greater truth of preserving this planet.}}
Graves countered, "I would say that our Secretary of War, Hegseth, would consider himself a person of faith. He has monthly prayer meetings in the Pentagon during normal working hours.<ref>See the section on "[[w:Pete Hegseth#Pentagon Christian worship services and "biblically sanctioned war|Pentagon Christian worship services and "biblically sanctioned war]]" in the Wikipedia article on "[[w:Pete Hegseth|Pete Hegseth]]", accessed 2026-06-22.</ref> The [[w:Military Religious Freedom Foundation|Military Religious Freedom Foundation]] has reported they'd received over 200 complaints from over 50 different US military installations that said that they were told to spread the good word that Jesus has anointed President Trump to light the signal fires in Iran leading to Armageddon.<ref>Mordowanec (2026).</ref>
Canyon replied, "That is frightening to say the least. I don't think that there isn't a place for faith in people's life, but there definitely needs to be a [[w:Separation of church and state|separation of church and state]].
=== Close with a poem ===
When Graves noted that we were out of time and asked for final words, Canyon wanted to read a poem she had written a few years ago during the early stages of the war against Palestinians. It's called
::'''Waiting in [[w:Al-Shifa Hospital|Al-Shifa Hospital]]'''<ref>Canyon agreed to release this poem under the [[w:Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International License]].</ref>
It was based on a photo that she saw in ''[[w:The New York Times|The New York Times]]:
:Waiting in [[w:Al-Shifa Hospital|Al-Shifa Hospital]].
:Privacy requires no space at all.
:Fluorescent lights glow white along the ceiling,
:except for the one that is out.
:Bombs erupt, sirens wail, or children cry.
:[[wiktionary:Decubitus|Decubitus]] people fill the gurneys that line the hallway.
:A long white river of linoleum runs between the rows.
:Rippling walls of blue plastic curtains embarrass the sky.
:One gray man stands in the middle of it all,
:like I imagine my granddaddy stood next to my mama during the [[w:Polio#Epidemiology|polio epidemic]].
:That was another century.
:This is a whole new tragedy for people.
:I want to ask the [[w:monarch butterfly|monarch butterfly]], the puppet, the sun
:to stop to put down their bread and circuses,
:But the man wearing a baseball cap
:picks up his cellphone and turns his back to the camera.
:I see a woman in a black hijab toward the back,
:but I cannot make out her face.
:The man in black lying in the front gurney
:is missing at least two fingers.

<!--[[File:2026-06-20 interview with Katerina Canyon about the Peace Economy Project.ogg|thumb|29:00 mm:ss excerpts from a 2026-06-20 interview with Katerina Canyon about the Peace Economy Project.]]-->
Katerina Canyon<ref name=Canyon/> describes the Peace Economy Project (PEP),<ref name=PEP/> their vision and activities. Canyon is PEP's Executive Director. She holds a BA from [[w:Saint Louis University|Saint Louis University]] and a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD) from the [[w:Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy|Fletcher School]].<ref><!--Katerina Canyon: Poet, Spoken Word Artist-->{{cite Q|Q140291133}}</ref> Her publications include two recent books of poetry<ref>Canyon (2021); Canyon and Canyon (2017).</ref> a novel,<ref>Canyon (in preparation).</ref> and numerous shorter pieces of political commentary disseminated in a variety of outlets.
PEP works to "Cut Military Spending. Fund Human Needs. They are "guided by the belief that true security is built through care, dignity, and a shared well-being—not punishment, militarization, or fear." Their work is grounded in 8 core values:
# Human Dignity.
# Nonviolence.
# Peaceful and Civic Engagement.
# Community Safety Over Militarization.
# Accountability and Transparency.
# Care-Centered Policy.
# Solidarity Across Difference.
# Thoughtful, Strategic Action.<ref><!--Peace Economy Project Core Values-->{{cite Q|Q140291167}}</ref>

== Highlights ==
:''These excerpts are rushed, lightly edited for readability, and may not be in final form. The ultimate authority on what was said is the accompanying video.''
When asked for the most important things she would like to communicate to this audience, Canyon said, {{quote|
I would like to communicate to our audience the importance of media literacy. Especially I'd like to talk to poets and other creative influencers in ways of participating in making sure that events in this world are properly and truthfully documented. ...
I'm much influenced by the poet [[w:Muriel Rukeyser|Muriel Rukeyser]], who was a documentary poet in the early to mid 20th century. She would use her poetics to talk about events that she witnessed, particularly when it had to do with minors and the health effects that they were facing when going into the mines. Many of them were dying. So Muriel Rockeyser wrote beautiful poems about the experience in order to open up dialog and to reveal what was going on with these people, who would not have been represented otherwise.
They were being overshadowed by corporate structures that also controlled the media, and at times poetry is the way to get through to people. When you look at what happens during wars, it's often poets who stand out and express themselves either through poetry or through independent media.}}
Graves asked if the best known poets might partner with musicians?
Canyon agreed. "That is true. A lot of poems are musical. And ... a lot of songs are musical. From soft alternative music to heavy metal to rap music, it's all poetics. And they all bear a certain level of truth. You can also say that song makers are the most known truth tellers that we have right now."
Graves mentioned [[w:Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan]]'s "[[w:The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll|Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen]]".
=== Peace Economy Project ===
Graves then asked for an overview of the "Peace Economy Project",<ref name=PEP/> Canyon said, {{quote|
The Peace Economy Project is an organization that's been around since 1977. It started in [[w:St. Louis|St. Louis]]. One of the founders is still on our board today, Mary Ann McGivern.<ref><!--Mary Ann McGivern-->{{cite Q|Q140309851}}</ref> She and a group of citizens of St. Louis were having issues with what was going on with [[w:McDonnell Douglas|McDonnell Douglas]], now [[w:Boeing|Boeing]]. They were against weapons manufacturing in their city of St. Louis. So they protested that. From there, the Peace Economy Project grew. A lot of our focus is primarily on St. Louis in Missouri, but we decided that what we face locally, every state in this country faces ... .
We decided that in order to impact our cities that we needed to not only focus locally but we needed to also focus nationally. We do this through our fellowship programs. We train fellows to do research. Like I said, truth and documentary poetics. But any way of researching and documenting the truth is very important to our mission, which is to educate the public on the effects of an unchecked military industrial complex. We take a lot of college fellows. Sometimes we will take on a high school fellow, but most are college and grad school.
They will research different areas in order to look into the impact that the military has on different parts of our life. A lot of our fellows investigate environmental impacts that the military has on their areas. We have fellows from St. Louis, obviously, but we also have fellows that live in New York. We have some in Italy. We have fellows in France.
They're all over the world, and they are investigating the impact that the United States has on their countries and on their communities.}}
=== ''Warheads to Windmills'' ===
Graves mentioned [[w:Timmon Wallis|Timmon Wallis]] and his work on ''Warheads to Windmills''.<ref>Wallis (2018, 2023)</ref> "For example, with the [[w:Kansas City National Security Campus|nuclear bomb plant in Kansas City]], the United States and the public would benefit more if the people doing that work were instead facilitating the transformation to a post-fossil fuel economy."
Canyon agreed. "If they were investing in environmental sustainability instead of putting together warheads, ... that would be a better investment ... . I have numerous fellows that work on this. A lot of our fellows are environmental students. They understand the concept of a peace economy that if we just give people a means of meeting their basic human needs, a good portion of our problems would just go away."
=== Biggest successes ===
Graves asked about their biggest successes so far. Canyon replied, {{quote|
I would say that our major successes have to do with educating people, especially our fellows. They are the ones that are going to be making decisions 20 years from now. We get fellows from [[w:Yale University|Yale]], from [[w:Rutgers University|Rutgers]], from major universities around the world, [[w:London School of Economics|London School of Economics]]. ...
I'm not saying that the military is completely unnecessary. I hope that it will be one day, but I'm not saying that's the case today. But we are saying that the way that they're going about it right now is extreme, we should not be investing as much money as we do in the military.}}
=== "Record Pentagon Spending, Diminished Security: A $1.5 Trillion Warning" ===
Graves noted that a lead article on their website describes, "Record Pentagon spending, diminished security, a $1.5 trillion warning",<ref>Canyon (2026-05).</ref> and asked about that. Canyon replied, {{quote|
"This presidency has exceeded any other presidency in military spending. Each time they go to Congress, they say it's for more security, but we are just getting more entrenched in battles.
[[w:United States withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal|President Obama had an agreement with Iran that President Trump tore up]]. We are battling them today because of the ignorance of that agreement. Now they're negotiating, and they're probably going to end up with close to the same agreement that was dismissed by the early Trump presidency.}}
=== "When Defense Endangers Civilians" ===
Graves mentioned another article on their website that mentioned the Patriot missiles.<ref>Canyon (2026-03) "When Defense Endangers Civilians: Urgent Questions After the Bahrain Explosion".</ref> Graves noted that one of the books by Robin Andersen<ref>[[Media and war|Andersen was interviewed]] for this [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|Media & Democracy]] series 2026-03-27.</ref> says that the introduction of the Patriot missiles, so-called anti-missile missiles, during the [[w:Gulf War|First Persian Gulf War]] actually did more damage than good, because the debris from the Scud missiles was scattered over a wider area with debris from the Patriots actually destroying more property and killing more people.<ref>Andersen (2006, pp. 178-179) quotes MIT prof [[w:Theodore Postol|Postol]] (1991-92).</ref>
Canyon replied, "I actually did a report on that back in 2012, when I was a fellow for the Peace Economy Project. It's true that we invest in these weapon systems, and a lot of the time we put all of this money into these weapons, and not only are they ineffective, most of the time, they impact our environment in significant ways."
Graves affirmed, "Yeah, worse than worse than useless: They're counterproductive."
=== Media sell changes in audience behaviors ===
Graves then asked, "To what extent is it fair to say that every media organization sells changes in audience behavior to the people who give them money?"<ref>It's likely more accurate to say that, "Every media organization sells changes in audience behavior to the people who control most of the money for the media." This is discussed further in [[Media & Democracy lessons for the future]].</ref>
Canyon replied, "A part of me wants to believe in the media. As a communications major and a poet who just finished her MFA in creative writing, I want to believe that the media wants to give the public the truth. But at the end of the day, media empires are businesses. They are going to go where the money is. They're going to want to do what they need to survive. I believe that there are very few organizations that aren't pandering to those who give them money. The only way to avoid that is to have a media that does not depend on major corporate support or on special interests."
Graves continued, "I've interviewed [[Information is a public good per communications prof Pickard|Victor Picard]], who recommends local news nonprofits, maybe multi local multimedia centers funded locally with firewalls that prevent political interference. Boards of directors may be selected at random, like jury duty, and with regular, maybe monthly, meetings, where they invite public input to help journalists select better topics, and maybe recruit volunteer researchers."<ref>Pickard (2023).</ref>
Canyon replied, "I think there does need to be a better investment in peer review and a better investment into local economies, such that the media isn't controlled solely by one ruling class or one ruling entity. I'm truly in favor of local investment. I think that is one significant way to support true documentary media. On top of that, I think that peer review is another way to make sure that happens."
=== Primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible.===
Graves continued, "My research in this area suggests that primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible.<ref>This is a "[[Media Literacy and You#Key claims|Key claim]]" of the book-in-progress on ''[[Media Literacy and You]]'', which provides substantial documentation to support this claim.</ref> Your comment."
Canyon replied, {{quote|
I think that is also true. You want to believe things that are closer to your own experience, so it is very challenging for people who don't have that experience to believe that another experience is true.
It happens a lot with my poetry when I travel and I read about the experiences that happened to me in my childhood. Quite often, people will come to me and say, "Did that really happen to you?"
While, if I am in an audience where either we're mostly women or women of color, they'll come up to me and say, "Thank you for writing that. It is very similar to my own experience."
It is hard for people to believe things that are outside their sphere. That's why things like what's happening in the [[w:Middle East|Middle East]] is so hard for people to grasp. Here in the United States, we do not understand what it means to have your homes bombed. Or to be chased out of your own home. We don't understand the idea that you need to leave your country. So that is why immigration is such a hot button issue.
That is why investing in military support is such a hot button issue, because we don't understand what it is to be in those situations.}}
=== ''Black Like Me'' ===
Graves noted that his grandmother was deeply moved by the book ''[[w:Black Like Me|Black Like Me]]'', which came out in the early part of the civil rights movement.<ref>Griffin (1961).</ref>
Canyon said, "There's a book called ''Empathy and the Novel'', which talks about how fiction and literature move people, and how much can a novel or how much can a poem move someone? Can it move them toward action?<ref>Keen (2007).</ref>
Graves continued, "That book was written by apparently a white guy who took some kind of medication to turn his skin dark and traveled throughout the [[w:Southern United States|South]], and wrote about his experiences -- a white guy being treated like an African American. That book had, apparently, a pretty decent impact on a lot of folks.
Canyon replied, "I can see how that would, because he's the same person, except his skin is different. So he was able to say, "I went through this situation as a white guy, and it was fine. But when I changed the color of my skin, it was a different situation."
=== MALD and MFA ===
Graves noted that Canyon has a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy<ref><!--Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD)-->{{cite Q|Q100606027}} (MALD).</ref> from the [[w:Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy|Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy]]. He asked her to talk about that.
Canyon said, {{quote|
I do have a Master of Art in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School, and I also have a [[w:Master of Fine Arts|Master of Fine Arts]], which I just earned about a week ago from [[w:Mississippi University for Women|Mississippi University for Women]] in creative writing.
It was challenging for me when I decided to pursue international studies with Fletcher, because I have this need to be a journalist. Truth is very important to me. Ever since I was a child, and I used to watch ''[[w:Lou Grant (TV series)|Lou Grant]]'', I wanted to be a journalist that investigated stories and reported the truth to people and help people understand what's going on in the world. But I'm also a poet, so I had those competing drivers. There is one school that would have done that for me, where I could have studied both journalism and poetry: It was [[w:Dartmouth College|Dartmouth]]. But I didn't go to Dartmouth. I decided to go to Fletcher, and that was a tremendous experience for me. It was hard. It was very challenging.
You learned a lot about how the mechanisms work -- not only about the US government but [[w:United Nations System|UN systems]], other international organizations around the world. You were put into scenarios of world events, and you had to figure out how you would solve those problems if you had to make those decisions.
Fletcher trains the next decision makers of this world. I talk about the United States military being in every country in the world. I believe that we could also say that about Fletcher graduates, that we are all over the world trying to do the best we can to make this a better place.}}
=== Deterrence theory ===
Graves said, "I've interviewed [[w:Richard Ned Lebow|Richard Ned Le Beau]], who's a leading expert on [[w:Deterrence theory|deterrence theory]]. He knows that the foundations of deterrence theory assume that your leaders and the leaders of your opposition are rational. But that's contradicted by the available evidence of all kinds of political and military leaders that prove that they're often not terribly rational.<ref>Lebow (2024); Lebow et al. (2023).</ref> Your comment."
Canyon agreed, "That is true. The term [[w:Mutually assured destruction|mutually assured destruction]] comes to mind, where we assume that the United States and China and the [[w:Soviet Union|USSR]] are going to be rational and not enter into conflicts that impact the planet. But I would say, are they being rational in the tiny impacts that happen? You are hard pressed to find any government that tries to act in the best interest of this planet, of the people, when you're bombing countries and leaving millions homeless. When you are leaving children starving and rationalizing it under the guise of security, you are not being a rational human being."
Graves said, "You can only play chicken so many times before everybody loses."
Canyon agreed, "Exactly."
=== Department of War ===
Graves noted that the Peace Economy Project website has a recent blog discussing the US "Department of War" by their founder, Mary Ann McGivern.<ref>McGivern (2026).</ref>
Canyon replied, {{quote|
Yes, Mary Ann McGivern. I asked her to write that article because before it was dubbed the "Department of War", Mary Ann didn't like that we were calling it the "[[w:United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]]". She said it was completely inaccurate, that they were not concerned with defense. They were not concerned with protecting the United States. They were about creating war. So when it happened,<ref>President Trump signed [[w:Executive Order 14347|Executive Order 14347]] titled, "Restoring the United States Department of War" on 2025-09-05. However, the official name is still the "Department of Defense", because it was created by the <!--National Security Act Amendments of 1949-->{{cite Q|Q122052416}} and cannot be changed by an executive order. Its predecessor was the "[[w:United States Department of War|Deparment of War]]", established by Congress in 1789, the first year of the US under its current constitution.</ref> I said, "Mary Ann, you're the one who needs to talk about this, because a lot of people in the country were upset that they changed the name because they felt that with the name change there would be a focus change." Mary Ann was saying, "That happened long ago. Now they're being truthful."
That was something that Mary Ann was definitely qualified to write about, because she was our founder. She is very passionate about peace. She's a nun. I do have an appreciation for nuns and their ability to stand out against the common narrative, and stand up and say, "No! This is what the truth is," and not be afraid of that.
I wouldn't call myself a person of faith, but I admire people who are and use that faith in order to help others to see the greater truth of preserving this planet.}}
Graves countered, "I would say that our Secretary of War, Hegseth, would consider himself a person of faith. He has monthly prayer meetings in the Pentagon during normal working hours.<ref>See the section on "[[w:Pete Hegseth#Pentagon Christian worship services and "biblically sanctioned war|Pentagon Christian worship services and "biblically sanctioned war]]" in the Wikipedia article on "[[w:Pete Hegseth|Pete Hegseth]]", accessed 2026-06-22.</ref> The [[w:Military Religious Freedom Foundation|Military Religious Freedom Foundation]] has reported they'd received over 200 complaints from over 50 different US military installations that said that they were told to spread the good word that Jesus has anointed President Trump to light the signal fires in Iran leading to Armageddon.<ref>Mordowanec (2026).</ref>
Canyon replied, "That is frightening to say the least. I don't think that there isn't a place for faith in people's life, but there definitely needs to be a [[w:Separation of church and state|separation of church and state]].
=== Close with a poem ===
When Graves noted that we were out of time and asked for final words, Canyon wanted to read a poem she had written a few years ago during the early stages of the war against Palestinians. It's called
::'''Waiting in [[w:Al-Shifa Hospital|Al-Shifa Hospital]]'''<ref>Canyon agreed to release this poem under the [[w:Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International License]].</ref>
It was based on a photo that she saw in ''[[w:The New York Times|The New York Times]]:
:Waiting in [[w:Al-Shifa Hospital|Al-Shifa Hospital]].
:Privacy requires no space at all.
:Fluorescent lights glow white along the ceiling,
:except for the one that is out.
:Bombs erupt, sirens wail, or children cry.
:[[wiktionary:Decubitus|Decubitus]] people fill the gurneys that line the hallway.
:A long white river of linoleum runs between the rows.
:Rippling walls of blue plastic curtains embarrass the sky.
:One gray man stands in the middle of it all,
:like I imagine my granddaddy stood next to my mama during the [[w:Polio#Epidemiology|polio epidemic]].
:That was another century.
:This is a whole new tragedy for people.
:I want to ask the [[w:monarch butterfly|monarch butterfly]], the puppet, the sun
:to stop to put down their bread and circuses,
:But the man wearing a baseball cap
:picks up his cellphone and turns his back to the camera.
:I see a woman in a black hijab toward the back,
:but I cannot make out her face.
:The man in black lying in the front gurney
:is missing at least two fingers.

<!--[[File:2026-06-20 interview with Katerina Canyon about the Peace Economy Project.ogg|thumb|29:00 mm:ss excerpts from a 2026-06-20 interview with Katerina Canyon about the Peace Economy Project.]]-->
Katerina Canyon<ref name=Canyon/> describes the Peace Economy Project (PEP),<ref name=PEP/> their vision and activities. Canyon is PEP's Executive Director. She holds a BA from [[w:Saint Louis University|Saint Louis University]] and a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD) from the [[w:Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy|Fletcher School]].<ref><!--Katerina Canyon: Poet, Spoken Word Artist-->{{cite Q|Q140291133}}</ref> Her publications include two recent books of poetry,<ref>Canyon (2021); Canyon and Canyon (2017).</ref> a novel,<ref>Canyon (in preparation).</ref> and numerous shorter pieces of political commentary disseminated in a variety of outlets.
PEP works to "Cut Military Spending. Fund Human Needs. They are "guided by the belief that true security is built through care, dignity, and a shared well-being—not punishment, militarization, or fear." Their work is grounded in 8 core values:
# Human Dignity.
# Nonviolence.
# Peaceful and Civic Engagement.
# Community Safety Over Militarization.
# Accountability and Transparency.
# Care-Centered Policy.
# Solidarity Across Difference.
# Thoughtful, Strategic Action.<ref><!--Peace Economy Project Core Values-->{{cite Q|Q140291167}}</ref>
Canyon is interviewed by Spencer Graves.<ref><!--Spencer Graves-->{{cite Q|Q56452480}}</ref>
== Highlights ==
:''These excerpts are rushed, lightly edited for readability, and may not be in final form. The ultimate authority on what was said is the accompanying video.''
When asked for the most important things she would like to communicate to this audience, Canyon said, {{quote|
I would like to communicate to our audience the importance of media literacy. Especially I'd like to talk to poets and other creative influencers in ways of participating in making sure that events in this world are properly and truthfully documented. ...
I'm much influenced by the poet [[w:Muriel Rukeyser|Muriel Rukeyser]], who was a documentary poet in the early to mid 20th century. She would use her poetics to talk about events that she witnessed, particularly when it had to do with minors and the health effects that they were facing when going into the mines. Many of them were dying. So Muriel Rockeyser wrote beautiful poems about the experience in order to open up dialog and to reveal what was going on with these people, who would not have been represented otherwise.
They were being overshadowed by corporate structures that also controlled the media, and at times poetry is the way to get through to people. When you look at what happens during wars, it's often poets who stand out and express themselves either through poetry or through independent media.}}
Graves asked if the best known poets might partner with musicians?
Canyon agreed. "That is true. A lot of poems are musical. And ... a lot of songs are musical. From soft alternative music to heavy metal to rap music, it's all poetics. And they all bear a certain level of truth. You can also say that song makers are the most known truth tellers that we have right now."
Graves mentioned [[w:Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan]]'s "[[w:The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll|Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen]]".
=== Peace Economy Project ===
Graves then asked for an overview of the "Peace Economy Project",<ref name=PEP/> Canyon said, {{quote|
The Peace Economy Project is an organization that's been around since 1977. It started in [[w:St. Louis|St. Louis]]. One of the founders is still on our board today, Mary Ann McGivern.<ref><!--Mary Ann McGivern-->{{cite Q|Q140309851}}</ref> She and a group of citizens of St. Louis were having issues with what was going on with [[w:McDonnell Douglas|McDonnell Douglas]], now [[w:Boeing|Boeing]]. They were against weapons manufacturing in their city of St. Louis. So they protested that. From there, the Peace Economy Project grew. A lot of our focus is primarily on St. Louis in Missouri, but we decided that what we face locally, every state in this country faces ... .
We decided that in order to impact our cities that we needed to not only focus locally but we needed to also focus nationally. We do this through our fellowship programs. We train fellows to do research. Like I said, truth and documentary poetics. But any way of researching and documenting the truth is very important to our mission, which is to educate the public on the effects of an unchecked military industrial complex. We take a lot of college fellows. Sometimes we will take on a high school fellow, but most are college and grad school.
They will research different areas in order to look into the impact that the military has on different parts of our life. A lot of our fellows investigate environmental impacts that the military has on their areas. We have fellows from St. Louis, obviously, but we also have fellows that live in New York. We have some in Italy. We have fellows in France.
They're all over the world, and they are investigating the impact that the United States has on their countries and on their communities.}}
=== ''Warheads to Windmills'' ===
Graves mentioned [[w:Timmon Wallis|Timmon Wallis]] and his work on ''Warheads to Windmills''.<ref>Wallis (2018, 2023)</ref> "For example, with the [[w:Kansas City National Security Campus|nuclear bomb plant in Kansas City]], the United States and the public would benefit more if the people doing that work were instead facilitating the transformation to a post-fossil fuel economy."
Canyon agreed. "If they were investing in environmental sustainability instead of putting together warheads, ... that would be a better investment ... . I have numerous fellows that work on this. A lot of our fellows are environmental students. They understand the concept of a peace economy that if we just give people a means of meeting their basic human needs, a good portion of our problems would just go away."
=== Biggest successes ===
Graves asked about their biggest successes so far. Canyon replied, {{quote|
I would say that our major successes have to do with educating people, especially our fellows. They are the ones that are going to be making decisions 20 years from now. We get fellows from [[w:Yale University|Yale]], from [[w:Rutgers University|Rutgers]], from major universities around the world, [[w:London School of Economics|London School of Economics]]. ...
I'm not saying that the military is completely unnecessary. I hope that it will be one day, but I'm not saying that's the case today. But we are saying that the way that they're going about it right now is extreme, we should not be investing as much money as we do in the military.}}
=== "Record Pentagon Spending, Diminished Security: A $1.5 Trillion Warning" ===
Graves noted that a lead article on their website describes, "Record Pentagon spending, diminished security, a $1.5 trillion warning",<ref>Canyon (2026-05).</ref> and asked about that. Canyon replied, {{quote|
"This presidency has exceeded any other presidency in military spending. Each time they go to Congress, they say it's for more security, but we are just getting more entrenched in battles.
[[w:United States withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal|President Obama had an agreement with Iran that President Trump tore up]]. We are battling them today because of the ignorance of that agreement. Now they're negotiating, and they're probably going to end up with close to the same agreement that was dismissed by the early Trump presidency.}}
=== "When Defense Endangers Civilians" ===
Graves mentioned another article on their website that mentioned the Patriot missiles.<ref>Canyon (2026-03) "When Defense Endangers Civilians: Urgent Questions After the Bahrain Explosion".</ref> Graves noted that one of the books by Robin Andersen<ref>[[Media and war|Andersen was interviewed]] for this [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|Media & Democracy]] series 2026-03-27.</ref> says that the introduction of the Patriot missiles, so-called anti-missile missiles, during the [[w:Gulf War|First Persian Gulf War]] actually did more damage than good, because the debris from the Scud missiles was scattered over a wider area with debris from the Patriots actually destroying more property and killing more people.<ref>Andersen (2006, pp. 178-179) quotes MIT prof [[w:Theodore Postol|Postol]] (1991-92).</ref>
Canyon replied, "I actually did a report on that back in 2012, when I was a fellow for the Peace Economy Project. It's true that we invest in these weapon systems, and a lot of the time we put all of this money into these weapons, and not only are they ineffective, most of the time, they impact our environment in significant ways."
Graves affirmed, "Yeah, worse than worse than useless: They're counterproductive."
=== Media sell changes in audience behaviors ===
Graves then asked, "To what extent is it fair to say that every media organization sells changes in audience behavior to the people who give them money?"<ref>It's likely more accurate to say that, "Every media organization sells changes in audience behavior to the people who control most of the money for the media." This is discussed further in [[Media & Democracy lessons for the future]].</ref>
Canyon replied, "A part of me wants to believe in the media. As a communications major and a poet who just finished her MFA in creative writing, I want to believe that the media wants to give the public the truth. But at the end of the day, media empires are businesses. They are going to go where the money is. They're going to want to do what they need to survive. I believe that there are very few organizations that aren't pandering to those who give them money. The only way to avoid that is to have a media that does not depend on major corporate support or on special interests."
Graves continued, "I've interviewed [[Information is a public good per communications prof Pickard|Victor Picard]], who recommends local news nonprofits, maybe multi local multimedia centers funded locally with firewalls that prevent political interference. Boards of directors may be selected at random, like jury duty, and with regular, maybe monthly, meetings, where they invite public input to help journalists select better topics, and maybe recruit volunteer researchers."<ref>Pickard (2023).</ref>
Canyon replied, "I think there does need to be a better investment in peer review and a better investment into local economies, such that the media isn't controlled solely by one ruling class or one ruling entity. I'm truly in favor of local investment. I think that is one significant way to support true documentary media. On top of that, I think that peer review is another way to make sure that happens."
=== Primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible.===
Graves continued, "My research in this area suggests that primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible.<ref>This is a "[[Media Literacy and You#Key claims|Key claim]]" of the book-in-progress on ''[[Media Literacy and You]]'', which provides substantial documentation to support this claim.</ref> Your comment."
Canyon replied, {{quote|
I think that is also true. You want to believe things that are closer to your own experience, so it is very challenging for people who don't have that experience to believe that another experience is true.
It happens a lot with my poetry when I travel and I read about the experiences that happened to me in my childhood. Quite often, people will come to me and say, "Did that really happen to you?"
While, if I am in an audience where either we're mostly women or women of color, they'll come up to me and say, "Thank you for writing that. It is very similar to my own experience."
It is hard for people to believe things that are outside their sphere. That's why things like what's happening in the [[w:Middle East|Middle East]] is so hard for people to grasp. Here in the United States, we do not understand what it means to have your homes bombed. Or to be chased out of your own home. We don't understand the idea that you need to leave your country. So that is why immigration is such a hot button issue.
That is why investing in military support is such a hot button issue, because we don't understand what it is to be in those situations.}}
=== ''Black Like Me'' ===
Graves noted that his grandmother was deeply moved by the book ''[[w:Black Like Me|Black Like Me]]'', which came out in the early part of the civil rights movement.<ref>Griffin (1961).</ref>
Canyon said, "There's a book called ''Empathy and the Novel'', which talks about how fiction and literature move people, and how much can a novel or how much can a poem move someone? Can it move them toward action?<ref>Keen (2007).</ref>
Graves continued, "That book was written by apparently a white guy who took some kind of medication to turn his skin dark and traveled throughout the [[w:Southern United States|South]], and wrote about his experiences -- a white guy being treated like an African American. That book had, apparently, a pretty decent impact on a lot of folks.
Canyon replied, "I can see how that would, because he's the same person, except his skin is different. So he was able to say, "I went through this situation as a white guy, and it was fine. But when I changed the color of my skin, it was a different situation."
=== MALD and MFA ===
Graves noted that Canyon has a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy<ref><!--Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD)-->{{cite Q|Q100606027}} (MALD).</ref> from the [[w:Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy|Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy]]. He asked her to talk about that.
Canyon said, {{quote|
I do have a Master of Art in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School, and I also have a [[w:Master of Fine Arts|Master of Fine Arts]], which I just earned about a week ago from [[w:Mississippi University for Women|Mississippi University for Women]] in creative writing.
It was challenging for me when I decided to pursue international studies with Fletcher, because I have this need to be a journalist. Truth is very important to me. Ever since I was a child, and I used to watch ''[[w:Lou Grant (TV series)|Lou Grant]]'', I wanted to be a journalist that investigated stories and reported the truth to people and help people understand what's going on in the world. But I'm also a poet, so I had those competing drivers. There is one school that would have done that for me, where I could have studied both journalism and poetry: It was [[w:Dartmouth College|Dartmouth]]. But I didn't go to Dartmouth. I decided to go to Fletcher, and that was a tremendous experience for me. It was hard. It was very challenging.
You learned a lot about how the mechanisms work -- not only about the US government but [[w:United Nations System|UN systems]], other international organizations around the world. You were put into scenarios of world events, and you had to figure out how you would solve those problems if you had to make those decisions.
Fletcher trains the next decision makers of this world. I talk about the United States military being in every country in the world. I believe that we could also say that about Fletcher graduates, that we are all over the world trying to do the best we can to make this a better place.}}
=== Deterrence theory ===
Graves said, "I've interviewed [[w:Richard Ned Lebow|Richard Ned Le Beau]], who's a leading expert on [[w:Deterrence theory|deterrence theory]]. He knows that the foundations of deterrence theory assume that your leaders and the leaders of your opposition are rational. But that's contradicted by the available evidence of all kinds of political and military leaders that prove that they're often not terribly rational.<ref>Lebow (2024); Lebow et al. (2023).</ref> Your comment."
Canyon agreed, "That is true. The term [[w:Mutually assured destruction|mutually assured destruction]] comes to mind, where we assume that the United States and China and the [[w:Soviet Union|USSR]] are going to be rational and not enter into conflicts that impact the planet. But I would say, are they being rational in the tiny impacts that happen? You are hard pressed to find any government that tries to act in the best interest of this planet, of the people, when you're bombing countries and leaving millions homeless. When you are leaving children starving and rationalizing it under the guise of security, you are not being a rational human being."
Graves said, "You can only play chicken so many times before everybody loses."
Canyon agreed, "Exactly."
=== Department of War ===
Graves noted that the Peace Economy Project website has a recent blog discussing the US "Department of War" by their founder, Mary Ann McGivern.<ref>McGivern (2026).</ref>
Canyon replied, {{quote|
Yes, Mary Ann McGivern. I asked her to write that article because before it was dubbed the "Department of War", Mary Ann didn't like that we were calling it the "[[w:United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]]". She said it was completely inaccurate, that they were not concerned with defense. They were not concerned with protecting the United States. They were about creating war. So when it happened,<ref>President Trump signed [[w:Executive Order 14347|Executive Order 14347]] titled, "Restoring the United States Department of War" on 2025-09-05.

Its predecessor was the "[[w:United States Department of War|Deparment of War]]", established by Congress in 1789, the first year of the US under its current constitution.</ref> I said, "Mary Ann, you're the one who needs to talk about this, because a lot of people in the country were upset that they changed the name because they felt that with the name change there would be a focus change." Mary Ann was saying, "That happened long ago. Now they're being truthful."
That was something that Mary Ann was definitely qualified to write about, because she was our founder. She is very passionate about peace. She's a nun. I do have an appreciation for nuns and their ability to stand out against the common narrative, and stand up and say, "No! This is what the truth is," and not be afraid of that.
I wouldn't call myself a person of faith, but I admire people who are and use that faith in order to help others to see the greater truth of preserving this planet.}}
Graves countered, "I would say that our Secretary of War, Hegseth, would consider himself a person of faith. He has monthly prayer meetings in the Pentagon during normal working hours.<ref>See the section on "[[w:Pete Hegseth#Pentagon Christian worship services and "biblically sanctioned war|Pentagon Christian worship services and "biblically sanctioned war]]" in the Wikipedia article on "[[w:Pete Hegseth|Pete Hegseth]]", accessed 2026-06-22.</ref> The [[w:Military Religious Freedom Foundation|Military Religious Freedom Foundation]] has reported they'd received over 200 complaints from over 50 different US military installations that said that they were told to spread the good word that Jesus has anointed President Trump to light the signal fires in Iran leading to Armageddon.<ref>Mordowanec (2026).</ref>
Canyon replied, "That is frightening to say the least. I don't think that there isn't a place for faith in people's life, but there definitely needs to be a [[w:Separation of church and state|separation of church and state]].
=== Close with a poem ===
When Graves noted that we were out of time and asked for final words, Canyon wanted to read a poem she had written a few years ago during the early stages of the war against Palestinians. It's called
::'''Waiting in [[w:Al-Shifa Hospital|Al-Shifa Hospital]]'''<ref>Canyon agreed to release this poem under the [[w:Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International License]].</ref>
It was based on a photo that she saw in ''[[w:The New York Times|The New York Times]]:

<!--[[File:2026-06-20 interview with Katerina Canyon about the Peace Economy Project.ogg|thumb|29:00 mm:ss excerpts from a 2026-06-20 interview with Katerina Canyon about the Peace Economy Project.]]-->
Katerina Canyon<ref name=Canyon/> describes the Peace Economy Project (PEP),<ref name=PEP/> their vision and activities. Canyon is PEP's Executive Director. She holds a BA from [[w:Saint Louis University|Saint Louis University]] and a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD) from the [[w:Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy|Fletcher School]].<ref><!--Katerina Canyon: Poet, Spoken Word Artist-->{{cite Q|Q140291133}}</ref> Her publications include two recent books of poetry,<ref>Canyon (2021); Canyon and Canyon (2017).</ref> a novel,<ref>Canyon (in preparation).</ref> and numerous shorter pieces of political commentary disseminated in a variety of outlets.
PEP works to "Cut Military Spending [and] Fund Human Needs." They are "guided by the belief that true security is built through care, dignity, and a shared well-being—not punishment, militarization, or fear." Their work is grounded in 8 core values:<ref><!--Peace Economy Project Core Values-->{{cite Q|Q140291167}}</ref>
# Human Dignity.
# Nonviolence.
# Peaceful and Civic Engagement.
# Community Safety Over Militarization.
# Accountability and Transparency.
# Care-Centered Policy.
# Solidarity Across Difference.
# Thoughtful, Strategic Action.
Canyon is interviewed by Spencer Graves.<ref><!--Spencer Graves-->{{cite Q|Q56452480}}</ref>
== Highlights ==
:''These excerpts are rushed, lightly edited for readability, and may not be in final form. The ultimate authority on what was said is the accompanying video.''
When asked for the most important things she would like to communicate to this audience, Canyon said, {{quote|
I would like to communicate to our audience the importance of media literacy. Especially I'd like to talk to poets and other creative influencers in ways of participating in making sure that events in this world are properly and truthfully documented. ...
I'm much influenced by the poet [[w:Muriel Rukeyser|Muriel Rukeyser]], who was a documentary poet in the early to mid 20th century. She would use her poetics to talk about events that she witnessed, particularly when it had to do with minors and the health effects that they were facing when going into the mines. Many of them were dying. So Muriel Rockeyser wrote beautiful poems about the experience in order to open up dialog and to reveal what was going on with these people, who would not have been represented otherwise.
They were being overshadowed by corporate structures that also controlled the media, and at times poetry is the way to get through to people. When you look at what happens during wars, it's often poets who stand out and express themselves either through poetry or through independent media.}}
Graves asked if the best known poets might partner with musicians?
Canyon agreed. "That is true. A lot of poems are musical. And ... a lot of songs are musical. From soft alternative music to heavy metal to rap music, it's all poetics. And they all bear a certain level of truth. You can also say that song makers are the most known truth tellers that we have right now."
Graves mentioned [[w:Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan]]'s "[[w:The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll|Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen]]".
=== Peace Economy Project ===
Graves then asked for an overview of the "Peace Economy Project",<ref name=PEP/> Canyon said, {{quote|
The Peace Economy Project is an organization that's been around since 1977. It started in [[w:St. Louis|St. Louis]]. One of the founders is still on our board today, Mary Ann McGivern.<ref><!--Mary Ann McGivern-->{{cite Q|Q140309851}}</ref> She and a group of citizens of St. Louis were having issues with what was going on with [[w:McDonnell Douglas|McDonnell Douglas]], now [[w:Boeing|Boeing]]. They were against weapons manufacturing in their city of St. Louis. So they protested that. From there, the Peace Economy Project grew. A lot of our focus is primarily on St. Louis in Missouri, but we decided that what we face locally, every state in this country faces ... .
We decided that in order to impact our cities that we needed to not only focus locally but we needed to also focus nationally. We do this through our fellowship programs. We train fellows to do research. Like I said, truth and documentary poetics. But any way of researching and documenting the truth is very important to our mission, which is to educate the public on the effects of an unchecked military industrial complex. We take a lot of college fellows. Sometimes we will take on a high school fellow, but most are college and grad school.
They will research different areas in order to look into the impact that the military has on different parts of our life. A lot of our fellows investigate environmental impacts that the military has on their areas. We have fellows from St. Louis, obviously, but we also have fellows that live in New York. We have some in Italy. We have fellows in France.
They're all over the world, and they are investigating the impact that the United States has on their countries and on their communities.}}
=== ''Warheads to Windmills'' ===
Graves mentioned [[w:Timmon Wallis|Timmon Wallis]] and his work on ''Warheads to Windmills''.<ref>Wallis (2018, 2023)</ref> "For example, with the [[w:Kansas City National Security Campus|nuclear bomb plant in Kansas City]], the United States and the public would benefit more if the people doing that work were instead facilitating the transformation to a post-fossil fuel economy."
Canyon agreed. "If they were investing in environmental sustainability instead of putting together warheads, ... that would be a better investment ... . I have numerous fellows that work on this. A lot of our fellows are environmental students. They understand the concept of a peace economy that if we just give people a means of meeting their basic human needs, a good portion of our problems would just go away."
=== Biggest successes ===
Graves asked about their biggest successes so far. Canyon replied, {{quote|
I would say that our major successes have to do with educating people, especially our fellows. They are the ones that are going to be making decisions 20 years from now. We get fellows from [[w:Yale University|Yale]], from [[w:Rutgers University|Rutgers]], from major universities around the world, [[w:London School of Economics|London School of Economics]]. ...
I'm not saying that the military is completely unnecessary. I hope that it will be one day, but I'm not saying that's the case today. But we are saying that the way that they're going about it right now is extreme, we should not be investing as much money as we do in the military.}}
=== "Record Pentagon Spending, Diminished Security: A $1.5 Trillion Warning" ===
Graves noted that a lead article on their website describes, "Record Pentagon spending, diminished security, a $1.5 trillion warning",<ref>Canyon (2026-05).</ref> and asked about that. Canyon replied, {{quote|
"This presidency has exceeded any other presidency in military spending. Each time they go to Congress, they say it's for more security, but we are just getting more entrenched in battles.
[[w:United States withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal|President Obama had an agreement with Iran that President Trump tore up]]. We are battling them today because of the ignorance of that agreement. Now they're negotiating, and they're probably going to end up with close to the same agreement that was dismissed by the early Trump presidency.}}
=== "When Defense Endangers Civilians" ===
Graves mentioned another article on their website that mentioned the Patriot missiles.<ref>Canyon (2026-03) "When Defense Endangers Civilians: Urgent Questions After the Bahrain Explosion".</ref> Graves noted that one of the books by Robin Andersen<ref>[[Media and war|Andersen was interviewed]] for this [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|Media & Democracy]] series 2026-03-27.</ref> says that the introduction of the Patriot missiles, so-called anti-missile missiles, during the [[w:Gulf War|First Persian Gulf War]] actually did more damage than good, because the debris from the Scud missiles was scattered over a wider area with debris from the Patriots actually destroying more property and killing more people.<ref>Andersen (2006, pp. 178-179) quotes MIT prof [[w:Theodore Postol|Postol]] (1991-92).</ref>
Canyon replied, "I actually did a report on that back in 2012, when I was a fellow for the Peace Economy Project. It's true that we invest in these weapon systems, and a lot of the time we put all of this money into these weapons, and not only are they ineffective, most of the time, they impact our environment in significant ways."
Graves affirmed, "Yeah, worse than worse than useless: They're counterproductive."
=== Media sell changes in audience behaviors ===
Graves then asked, "To what extent is it fair to say that every media organization sells changes in audience behavior to the people who give them money?"<ref>It's likely more accurate to say that, "Every media organization sells changes in audience behavior to the people who control most of the money for the media." This is discussed further in [[Media & Democracy lessons for the future]].</ref>
Canyon replied, "A part of me wants to believe in the media. As a communications major and a poet who just finished her MFA in creative writing, I want to believe that the media wants to give the public the truth. But at the end of the day, media empires are businesses. They are going to go where the money is. They're going to want to do what they need to survive. I believe that there are very few organizations that aren't pandering to those who give them money. The only way to avoid that is to have a media that does not depend on major corporate support or on special interests."
Graves continued, "I've interviewed [[Information is a public good per communications prof Pickard|Victor Picard]], who recommends local news nonprofits, maybe multi local multimedia centers funded locally with firewalls that prevent political interference. Boards of directors may be selected at random, like jury duty, and with regular, maybe monthly, meetings, where they invite public input to help journalists select better topics, and maybe recruit volunteer researchers."<ref>Pickard (2023).</ref>
Canyon replied, "I think there does need to be a better investment in peer review and a better investment into local economies, such that the media isn't controlled solely by one ruling class or one ruling entity. I'm truly in favor of local investment. I think that is one significant way to support true documentary media. On top of that, I think that peer review is another way to make sure that happens."
=== Primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible.===
Graves continued, "My research in this area suggests that primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible.<ref>This is a "[[Media Literacy and You#Key claims|Key claim]]" of the book-in-progress on ''[[Media Literacy and You]]'', which provides substantial documentation to support this claim.</ref> Your comment."
Canyon replied, {{quote|
I think that is also true. You want to believe things that are closer to your own experience, so it is very challenging for people who don't have that experience to believe that another experience is true.
It happens a lot with my poetry when I travel and I read about the experiences that happened to me in my childhood. Quite often, people will come to me and say, "Did that really happen to you?"
While, if I am in an audience where either we're mostly women or women of color, they'll come up to me and say, "Thank you for writing that. It is very similar to my own experience."
It is hard for people to believe things that are outside their sphere. That's why things like what's happening in the [[w:Middle East|Middle East]] is so hard for people to grasp. Here in the United States, we do not understand what it means to have your homes bombed. Or to be chased out of your own home. We don't understand the idea that you need to leave your country. So that is why immigration is such a hot button issue.
That is why investing in military support is such a hot button issue, because we don't understand what it is to be in those situations.}}
=== ''Black Like Me'' ===
Graves noted that his grandmother was deeply moved by the book ''[[w:Black Like Me|Black Like Me]]'', which came out in the early part of the civil rights movement.<ref>Griffin (1961).</ref>
Canyon said, "There's a book called ''Empathy and the Novel'', which talks about how fiction and literature move people, and how much can a novel or how much can a poem move someone? Can it move them toward action?<ref>Keen (2007).</ref>
Graves continued, "That book was written by apparently a white guy who took some kind of medication to turn his skin dark and traveled throughout the [[w:Southern United States|South]], and wrote about his experiences -- a white guy being treated like an African American. That book had, apparently, a pretty decent impact on a lot of folks.
Canyon replied, "I can see how that would, because he's the same person, except his skin is different. So he was able to say, "I went through this situation as a white guy, and it was fine. But when I changed the color of my skin, it was a different situation."
=== MALD and MFA ===
Graves noted that Canyon has a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy<ref><!--Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD)-->{{cite Q|Q100606027}} (MALD).</ref> from the [[w:Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy|Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy]]. He asked her to talk about that.
Canyon said, {{quote|
I do have a Master of Art in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School, and I also have a [[w:Master of Fine Arts|Master of Fine Arts]], which I just earned about a week ago from [[w:Mississippi University for Women|Mississippi University for Women]] in creative writing.
It was challenging for me when I decided to pursue international studies with Fletcher, because I have this need to be a journalist. Truth is very important to me. Ever since I was a child, and I used to watch ''[[w:Lou Grant (TV series)|Lou Grant]]'', I wanted to be a journalist that investigated stories and reported the truth to people and help people understand what's going on in the world. But I'm also a poet, so I had those competing drivers. There is one school that would have done that for me, where I could have studied both journalism and poetry: It was [[w:Dartmouth College|Dartmouth]]. But I didn't go to Dartmouth. I decided to go to Fletcher, and that was a tremendous experience for me. It was hard. It was very challenging.
You learned a lot about how the mechanisms work -- not only about the US government but [[w:United Nations System|UN systems]], other international organizations around the world. You were put into scenarios of world events, and you had to figure out how you would solve those problems if you had to make those decisions.
Fletcher trains the next decision makers of this world. I talk about the United States military being in every country in the world. I believe that we could also say that about Fletcher graduates, that we are all over the world trying to do the best we can to make this a better place.}}
=== Deterrence theory ===
Graves said, "I've interviewed [[w:Richard Ned Lebow|Richard Ned Le Beau]], who's a leading expert on [[w:Deterrence theory|deterrence theory]]. He knows that the foundations of deterrence theory assume that your leaders and the leaders of your opposition are rational. But that's contradicted by the available evidence of all kinds of political and military leaders that prove that they're often not terribly rational.<ref>Lebow (2024); Lebow et al. (2023).</ref> Your comment."
Canyon agreed, "That is true. The term [[w:Mutually assured destruction|mutually assured destruction]] comes to mind, where we assume that the United States and China and the [[w:Soviet Union|USSR]] are going to be rational and not enter into conflicts that impact the planet. But I would say, are they being rational in the tiny impacts that happen? You are hard pressed to find any government that tries to act in the best interest of this planet, of the people, when you're bombing countries and leaving millions homeless. When you are leaving children starving and rationalizing it under the guise of security, you are not being a rational human being."
Graves said, "You can only play chicken so many times before everybody loses."
Canyon agreed, "Exactly."
=== Department of War ===
Graves noted that the Peace Economy Project website has a recent blog discussing the US "Department of War" by their founder, Mary Ann McGivern.<ref>McGivern (2026).</ref>
Canyon replied, {{quote|
Yes, Mary Ann McGivern. I asked her to write that article because before it was dubbed the "Department of War", Mary Ann didn't like that we were calling it the "[[w:United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]]". She said it was completely inaccurate, that they were not concerned with defense. They were not concerned with protecting the United States. They were about creating war. So when it happened,<ref>President Trump signed [[w:Executive Order 14347|Executive Order 14347]] titled, "Restoring the United States Department of War" on 2025-09-05. However, the official name is still the "Department of Defense", because it was created by the <!--National Security Act Amendments of 1949-->{{cite Q|Q122052416}} and cannot be changed by an executive order. Its predecessor was the "[[w:United States Department of War|Deparment of War]]", established by Congress in 1789, the first year of the US under its current constitution.</ref> I said, "Mary Ann, you're the one who needs to talk about this, because a lot of people in the country were upset that they changed the name because they felt that with the name change there would be a focus change." Mary Ann was saying, "That happened long ago. Now they're being truthful."
That was something that Mary Ann was definitely qualified to write about, because she was our founder. She is very passionate about peace. She's a nun. I do have an appreciation for nuns and their ability to stand out against the common narrative, and stand up and say, "No! This is what the truth is," and not be afraid of that.
I wouldn't call myself a person of faith, but I admire people who are and use that faith in order to help others to see the greater truth of preserving this planet.}}
Graves countered, "I would say that our Secretary of War, Hegseth, would consider himself a person of faith. He has monthly prayer meetings in the Pentagon during normal working hours.<ref>See the section on "[[w:Pete Hegseth#Pentagon Christian worship services and "biblically sanctioned war|Pentagon Christian worship services and "biblically sanctioned war]]" in the Wikipedia article on "[[w:Pete Hegseth|Pete Hegseth]]", accessed 2026-06-22.</ref> The [[w:Military Religious Freedom Foundation|Military Religious Freedom Foundation]] has reported they'd received over 200 complaints from over 50 different US military installations that said that they were told to spread the good word that Jesus has anointed President Trump to light the signal fires in Iran leading to Armageddon.<ref>Mordowanec (2026).</ref>
Canyon replied, "That is frightening to say the least. I don't think that there isn't a place for faith in people's life, but there definitely needs to be a [[w:Separation of church and state|separation of church and state]].
=== Close with a poem ===
When Graves noted that we were out of time and asked for final words, Canyon wanted to read a poem she had written a few years ago during the early stages of the war against Palestinians. It's called
::'''Waiting in [[w:Al-Shifa Hospital|Al-Shifa Hospital]]'''<ref>Canyon agreed to release this poem under the [[w:Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International License]].</ref>
It was based on a photo that she saw in ''[[w:The New York Times|The New York Times]]:

[[File:Interview with Katerina Canyon about the Peace Economy Project.ogg|thumb|29:00 mm:ss excerpts from a 2026-06-20 interview with Katerina Canyon about the Peace Economy Project]]
Katerina Canyon<ref name=Canyon/> describes the Peace Economy Project (PEP),<ref name=PEP/> their vision and activities. Canyon is PEP's Executive Director. She holds a BA from [[w:Saint Louis University|Saint Louis University]] and a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD) from the [[w:Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy|Fletcher School]].<ref><!--Katerina Canyon: Poet, Spoken Word Artist-->{{cite Q|Q140291133}}</ref> Her publications include two recent books of poetry,<ref>Canyon (2021); Canyon and Canyon (2017).</ref> a novel,<ref>Canyon (in preparation).</ref> and numerous shorter pieces of political commentary disseminated in a variety of outlets.
PEP works to "Cut Military Spending [and] Fund Human Needs." They are "guided by the belief that true security is built through care, dignity, and a shared well-being—not punishment, militarization, or fear." Their work is grounded in 8 core values:<ref><!--Peace Economy Project Core Values-->{{cite Q|Q140291167}}</ref>
# Human Dignity.
# Nonviolence.
# Peaceful and Civic Engagement.
# Community Safety Over Militarization.
# Accountability and Transparency.
# Care-Centered Policy.
# Solidarity Across Difference.
# Thoughtful, Strategic Action.
Canyon is interviewed by Spencer Graves.<ref><!--Spencer Graves-->{{cite Q|Q56452480}}</ref>
== Highlights ==
:''These excerpts are rushed, lightly edited for readability, and may not be in final form. The ultimate authority on what was said is the accompanying video.''
When asked for the most important things she would like to communicate to this audience, Canyon said, {{quote|
I would like to communicate to our audience the importance of media literacy. Especially I'd like to talk to poets and other creative influencers in ways of participating in making sure that events in this world are properly and truthfully documented. ...
I'm much influenced by the poet [[w:Muriel Rukeyser|Muriel Rukeyser]], who was a documentary poet in the early to mid 20th century. She would use her poetics to talk about events that she witnessed, particularly when it had to do with minors and the health effects that they were facing when going into the mines. Many of them were dying. So Muriel Rockeyser wrote beautiful poems about the experience in order to open up dialog and to reveal what was going on with these people, who would not have been represented otherwise.
They were being overshadowed by corporate structures that also controlled the media, and at times poetry is the way to get through to people. When you look at what happens during wars, it's often poets who stand out and express themselves either through poetry or through independent media.}}
Graves asked if the best known poets might partner with musicians?
Canyon agreed. "That is true. A lot of poems are musical. And ... a lot of songs are musical. From soft alternative music to heavy metal to rap music, it's all poetics. And they all bear a certain level of truth. You can also say that song makers are the most known truth tellers that we have right now."
Graves mentioned [[w:Bob Dylan|Bob Dylan]]'s "[[w:The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll|Hattie Carroll was a maid in the kitchen]]".
=== Peace Economy Project ===
Graves then asked for an overview of the "Peace Economy Project",<ref name=PEP/> Canyon said, {{quote|
The Peace Economy Project is an organization that's been around since 1977. It started in [[w:St. Louis|St. Louis]]. One of the founders is still on our board today, Mary Ann McGivern.<ref><!--Mary Ann McGivern-->{{cite Q|Q140309851}}</ref> She and a group of citizens of St. Louis were having issues with what was going on with [[w:McDonnell Douglas|McDonnell Douglas]], now [[w:Boeing|Boeing]]. They were against weapons manufacturing in their city of St. Louis. So they protested that. From there, the Peace Economy Project grew. A lot of our focus is primarily on St. Louis in Missouri, but we decided that what we face locally, every state in this country faces ... .
We decided that in order to impact our cities that we needed to not only focus locally but we needed to also focus nationally. We do this through our fellowship programs. We train fellows to do research. Like I said, truth and documentary poetics. But any way of researching and documenting the truth is very important to our mission, which is to educate the public on the effects of an unchecked military industrial complex. We take a lot of college fellows. Sometimes we will take on a high school fellow, but most are college and grad school.
They will research different areas in order to look into the impact that the military has on different parts of our life. A lot of our fellows investigate environmental impacts that the military has on their areas. We have fellows from St. Louis, obviously, but we also have fellows that live in New York. We have some in Italy. We have fellows in France.
They're all over the world, and they are investigating the impact that the United States has on their countries and on their communities.}}
=== ''Warheads to Windmills'' ===
Graves mentioned [[w:Timmon Wallis|Timmon Wallis]] and his work on ''Warheads to Windmills''.<ref>Wallis (2018, 2023)</ref> "For example, with the [[w:Kansas City National Security Campus|nuclear bomb plant in Kansas City]], the United States and the public would benefit more if the people doing that work were instead facilitating the transformation to a post-fossil fuel economy."
Canyon agreed. "If they were investing in environmental sustainability instead of putting together warheads, ... that would be a better investment ... . I have numerous fellows that work on this. A lot of our fellows are environmental students. They understand the concept of a peace economy that if we just give people a means of meeting their basic human needs, a good portion of our problems would just go away."
=== Biggest successes ===
Graves asked about their biggest successes so far. Canyon replied, {{quote|
I would say that our major successes have to do with educating people, especially our fellows. They are the ones that are going to be making decisions 20 years from now. We get fellows from [[w:Yale University|Yale]], from [[w:Rutgers University|Rutgers]], from major universities around the world, [[w:London School of Economics|London School of Economics]]. ...
I'm not saying that the military is completely unnecessary. I hope that it will be one day, but I'm not saying that's the case today. But we are saying that the way that they're going about it right now is extreme, we should not be investing as much money as we do in the military.}}
=== "Record Pentagon Spending, Diminished Security: A $1.5 Trillion Warning" ===
Graves noted that a lead article on their website describes, "Record Pentagon spending, diminished security, a $1.5 trillion warning",<ref>Canyon (2026-05).</ref> and asked about that. Canyon replied, {{quote|
"This presidency has exceeded any other presidency in military spending. Each time they go to Congress, they say it's for more security, but we are just getting more entrenched in battles.
[[w:United States withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal|President Obama had an agreement with Iran that President Trump tore up]]. We are battling them today because of the ignorance of that agreement. Now they're negotiating, and they're probably going to end up with close to the same agreement that was dismissed by the early Trump presidency.}}
=== "When Defense Endangers Civilians" ===
Graves mentioned another article on their website that mentioned the Patriot missiles.<ref>Canyon (2026-03) "When Defense Endangers Civilians: Urgent Questions After the Bahrain Explosion".</ref> Graves noted that one of the books by Robin Andersen<ref>[[Media and war|Andersen was interviewed]] for this [[:Category:Media reform to improve democracy|Media & Democracy]] series 2026-03-27.</ref> says that the introduction of the Patriot missiles, so-called anti-missile missiles, during the [[w:Gulf War|First Persian Gulf War]] actually did more damage than good, because the debris from the Scud missiles was scattered over a wider area with debris from the Patriots actually destroying more property and killing more people.<ref>Andersen (2006, pp. 178-179) quotes MIT prof [[w:Theodore Postol|Postol]] (1991-92).</ref>
Canyon replied, "I actually did a report on that back in 2012, when I was a fellow for the Peace Economy Project. It's true that we invest in these weapon systems, and a lot of the time we put all of this money into these weapons, and not only are they ineffective, most of the time, they impact our environment in significant ways."
Graves affirmed, "Yeah, worse than worse than useless: They're counterproductive."
=== Media sell changes in audience behaviors ===
Graves then asked, "To what extent is it fair to say that every media organization sells changes in audience behavior to the people who give them money?"<ref>It's likely more accurate to say that, "Every media organization sells changes in audience behavior to the people who control most of the money for the media." This is discussed further in [[Media & Democracy lessons for the future]].</ref>
Canyon replied, "A part of me wants to believe in the media. As a communications major and a poet who just finished her MFA in creative writing, I want to believe that the media wants to give the public the truth. But at the end of the day, media empires are businesses. They are going to go where the money is. They're going to want to do what they need to survive. I believe that there are very few organizations that aren't pandering to those who give them money. The only way to avoid that is to have a media that does not depend on major corporate support or on special interests."
Graves continued, "I've interviewed [[Information is a public good per communications prof Pickard|Victor Picard]], who recommends local news nonprofits, maybe multi local multimedia centers funded locally with firewalls that prevent political interference. Boards of directors may be selected at random, like jury duty, and with regular, maybe monthly, meetings, where they invite public input to help journalists select better topics, and maybe recruit volunteer researchers."<ref>Pickard (2023).</ref>
Canyon replied, "I think there does need to be a better investment in peer review and a better investment into local economies, such that the media isn't controlled solely by one ruling class or one ruling entity. I'm truly in favor of local investment. I think that is one significant way to support true documentary media. On top of that, I think that peer review is another way to make sure that happens."
=== Primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible.===
Graves continued, "My research in this area suggests that primary drivers of every major conflict include differences between the media that the different parties find credible.<ref>This is a "[[Media Literacy and You#Key claims|Key claim]]" of the book-in-progress on ''[[Media Literacy and You]]'', which provides substantial documentation to support this claim.</ref> Your comment."
Canyon replied, {{quote|
I think that is also true. You want to believe things that are closer to your own experience, so it is very challenging for people who don't have that experience to believe that another experience is true.
It happens a lot with my poetry when I travel and I read about the experiences that happened to me in my childhood. Quite often, people will come to me and say, "Did that really happen to you?"
While, if I am in an audience where either we're mostly women or women of color, they'll come up to me and say, "Thank you for writing that. It is very similar to my own experience."
It is hard for people to believe things that are outside their sphere. That's why things like what's happening in the [[w:Middle East|Middle East]] is so hard for people to grasp. Here in the United States, we do not understand what it means to have your homes bombed. Or to be chased out of your own home. We don't understand the idea that you need to leave your country. So that is why immigration is such a hot button issue.
That is why investing in military support is such a hot button issue, because we don't understand what it is to be in those situations.}}
=== ''Black Like Me'' ===
Graves noted that his grandmother was deeply moved by the book ''[[w:Black Like Me|Black Like Me]]'', which came out in the early part of the civil rights movement.<ref>Griffin (1961).</ref>
Canyon said, "There's a book called ''Empathy and the Novel'', which talks about how fiction and literature move people, and how much can a novel or how much can a poem move someone? Can it move them toward action?<ref>Keen (2007).</ref>
Graves continued, "That book was written by apparently a white guy who took some kind of medication to turn his skin dark and traveled throughout the [[w:Southern United States|South]], and wrote about his experiences -- a white guy being treated like an African American. That book had, apparently, a pretty decent impact on a lot of folks.
Canyon replied, "I can see how that would, because he's the same person, except his skin is different. So he was able to say, "I went through this situation as a white guy, and it was fine. But when I changed the color of my skin, it was a different situation."
=== MALD and MFA ===
Graves noted that Canyon has a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy<ref><!--Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy (MALD)-->{{cite Q|Q100606027}} (MALD).</ref> from the [[w:Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy|Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy]]. He asked her to talk about that.
Canyon said, {{quote|
I do have a Master of Art in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School, and I also have a [[w:Master of Fine Arts|Master of Fine Arts]], which I just earned about a week ago from [[w:Mississippi University for Women|Mississippi University for Women]] in creative writing.
It was challenging for me when I decided to pursue international studies with Fletcher, because I have this need to be a journalist. Truth is very important to me. Ever since I was a child, and I used to watch ''[[w:Lou Grant (TV series)|Lou Grant]]'', I wanted to be a journalist that investigated stories and reported the truth to people and help people understand what's going on in the world. But I'm also a poet, so I had those competing drivers. There is one school that would have done that for me, where I could have studied both journalism and poetry: It was [[w:Dartmouth College|Dartmouth]]. But I didn't go to Dartmouth. I decided to go to Fletcher, and that was a tremendous experience for me. It was hard. It was very challenging.
You learned a lot about how the mechanisms work -- not only about the US government but [[w:United Nations System|UN systems]], other international organizations around the world. You were put into scenarios of world events, and you had to figure out how you would solve those problems if you had to make those decisions.
Fletcher trains the next decision makers of this world. I talk about the United States military being in every country in the world. I believe that we could also say that about Fletcher graduates, that we are all over the world trying to do the best we can to make this a better place.}}
=== Deterrence theory ===
Graves said, "I've interviewed [[w:Richard Ned Lebow|Richard Ned Le Beau]], who's a leading expert on [[w:Deterrence theory|deterrence theory]]. He knows that the foundations of deterrence theory assume that your leaders and the leaders of your opposition are rational. But that's contradicted by the available evidence of all kinds of political and military leaders that prove that they're often not terribly rational.<ref>Lebow (2024); Lebow et al. (2023).</ref> Your comment."
Canyon agreed, "That is true. The term [[w:Mutually assured destruction|mutually assured destruction]] comes to mind, where we assume that the United States and China and the [[w:Soviet Union|USSR]] are going to be rational and not enter into conflicts that impact the planet. But I would say, are they being rational in the tiny impacts that happen? You are hard pressed to find any government that tries to act in the best interest of this planet, of the people, when you're bombing countries and leaving millions homeless. When you are leaving children starving and rationalizing it under the guise of security, you are not being a rational human being."
Graves said, "You can only play chicken so many times before everybody loses."
Canyon agreed, "Exactly."
=== Department of War ===
Graves noted that the Peace Economy Project website has a recent blog discussing the US "Department of War" by their founder, Mary Ann McGivern.<ref>McGivern (2026).</ref>
Canyon replied, {{quote|
Yes, Mary Ann McGivern. I asked her to write that article because before it was dubbed the "Department of War", Mary Ann didn't like that we were calling it the "[[w:United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]]". She said it was completely inaccurate, that they were not concerned with defense. They were not concerned with protecting the United States. They were about creating war. So when it happened,<ref>President Trump signed [[w:Executive Order 14347|Executive Order 14347]] titled, "Restoring the United States Department of War" on 2025-09-05. However, the official name is still the "Department of Defense", because it was created by the <!--National Security Act Amendments of 1949-->{{cite Q|Q122052416}} and cannot be changed by an executive order. Its predecessor was the "[[w:United States Department of War|Deparment of War]]", established by Congress in 1789, the first year of the US under its current constitution.</ref> I said, "Mary Ann, you're the one who needs to talk about this, because a lot of people in the country were upset that they changed the name because they felt that with the name change there would be a focus change." Mary Ann was saying, "That happened long ago. Now they're being truthful."
That was something that Mary Ann was definitely qualified to write about, because she was our founder. She is very passionate about peace. She's a nun. I do have an appreciation for nuns and their ability to stand out against the common narrative, and stand up and say, "No! This is what the truth is," and not be afraid of that.
I wouldn't call myself a person of faith, but I admire people who are and use that faith in order to help others to see the greater truth of preserving this planet.}}
Graves countered, "I would say that our Secretary of War, Hegseth, would consider himself a person of faith. He has monthly prayer meetings in the Pentagon during normal working hours.<ref>See the section on "[[w:Pete Hegseth#Pentagon Christian worship services and "biblically sanctioned war|Pentagon Christian worship services and "biblically sanctioned war]]" in the Wikipedia article on "[[w:Pete Hegseth|Pete Hegseth]]", accessed 2026-06-22.</ref> The [[w:Military Religious Freedom Foundation|Military Religious Freedom Foundation]] has reported they'd received over 200 complaints from over 50 different US military installations that said that they were told to spread the good word that Jesus has anointed President Trump to light the signal fires in Iran leading to Armageddon.<ref>Mordowanec (2026).</ref>
Canyon replied, "That is frightening to say the least. I don't think that there isn't a place for faith in people's life, but there definitely needs to be a [[w:Separation of church and state|separation of church and state]].
=== Close with a poem ===
When Graves noted that we were out of time and asked for final words, Canyon wanted to read a poem she had written a few years ago during the early stages of the war against Palestinians. It's called
::'''Waiting in [[w:Al-Shifa Hospital|Al-Shifa Hospital]]'''<ref>Canyon agreed to release this poem under the [[w:Wikipedia:Text of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License|Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International License]].</ref>
It was based on a photo that she saw in ''[[w:The New York Times|The New York Times]]:
:Waiting in [[w:Al-Shifa Hospital|Al-Shifa Hospital]].
:Privacy requires no space at all.
:Fluorescent lights glow white along the ceiling,
:except for the one that is out.
:Bombs erupt, sirens wail, or children cry.
:[[wiktionary:Decubitus|Decubitus]] people fill the gurneys that line the hallway.
:A long white river of linoleum runs between the rows.
:Rippling walls of blue plastic curtains embarrass the sky.
:One gray man stands in the middle of it all,
:like I imagine my granddaddy stood next to my mama during the [[w:Polio#Epidemiology|polio epidemic]].
:That was another century.
:This is a whole new tragedy for people.
:I want to ask the [[w:monarch butterfly|monarch butterfly]], the puppet, the sun
:to stop to put down their bread and circuses,
:But the man wearing a baseball cap
:picks up his cellphone and turns his back to the camera.
:I see a woman in a black hijab toward the back,
:but I cannot make out her face.
:The man in black lying in the front gurney
:is missing at least two fingers.
