I already found a new transcendental number in my research and it has only been three weeks.
- blattimwind 7y agoWell, almost all reals are... I would be more impressed if you found a new number that isn't!
- WantonQuantum 7y agoNice! How many transcendental numbers are we up to now? (Kidding! I kid!) What properties of Poletopole's constant make it interesting?
- poletopole 7y agoOdds are you might see my paper on HN later this week if I'm right about what I discovered today. But the constant popped up while I was playing with a prime/integer model that allowed me to eliminate the complex space of any real system. However, today I realized the significance of what I had discovered the other day while playing with a 5-cell system and should lead me to finally end my research ongoing since August, which was to derive a prime number space--as silly as it sounds--but now that I have unlimited free time to work on the paper, things have escalated quickly. I started on this project because I needed an ambient space to work with topologies for a theoretical and highly decentralized/distributed, partition-tolerant, declarative, multiplexed L8 (yes, L8) protocol based on some of the entropic principles of digital communication Claude Shannon introduced, but not exclusively; it is semantically plain HTTP at L7 but is IP tunneled over HTTP/2 and the dat/ipfs protocols and runs on the WASM. Why I'm developing that protocol is another story, but I will say that, as a programmer, I done. Anyways, tomorrow I will see what the tide washes ashore.
