Side note, does the theory of juggling have a mathematical underpinning?
- ColinWright 14y agoI have no idea why it would be a "disease", but he did seem to be diagnosing my attitude or "problem." Don't care. And yes, there is a great deal of mathematics underneath the structures of juggling patterns. Using them we predicted the existence of previously unknown juggling patterns, and have now used the math to create a proof that of all the juggling tricks of a certain type, we know them all (for some definition of "to know").
- srean 14y agoIt was supposed to be a metaphor, intended to highlight that no such disease is present and nor was it necessary to go about trying to diagnose what "the problem" with Colin was. diagnose <-> disease It clearly did not work as intended.
- Schwolop 14y agoYes, juggling patterns can be expressed neatly by the use of fairly simple mathematics. Look up "siteswap" or "siteswap notation". (It's also closely related to the mathematics of bell-ringing or "chiming".)
