- dvt 9y agoThis is really interesting, thanks for sharing. I've never heard of Pingala before.
- theoh 9y agoGood point, but was Pingala actually using the binary elements as digits? I don't know but it seems possible that he didn't do place value arithmetic with binary strings. I previously associated his work with "prosodic enumerations" like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_sequence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Bruijn_sequence
