Context: I've been working on a non-binary graphing app called FuzzyGraph ( https://fuzzygraph.com ). I had the rendering logic written in vanilla JS, and wanted to convert the rendering logic to GLSL shader code to speed thi

Infinity is simply the name for a process that does not end. Some of these processes increase faster than others (hence larger infinities). Personally, I also like the Riemann sphere model of infinity.

It's worth noting the "Two Sigma" problem on this topic ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom%27s_2_sigma_problem ) - "the educational phenomenon that the average student tutored one-to-one using mast

I was public schooled Kindergarten, homeschooled 1st-5th, and public schooled 6-12th grade. My wife was 100% homeschooled. I think it was a good mix for me. And in retrospect, I think it was good I was public schooled for at least some of h

To understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.

"Cloud seeding involves spraying particles such as silver iodide and salt into clouds from aircraft to trigger rain." So... chemtrails?

Same... back in my day, people worked to reduce the size of mobile phones. Call me old fashioned, but I still prefer small phones, which is why I still have an iPhone 12 mini.

I'm not sure I've tried that - might good idea. I've actually been playing with all kind so of visualizations - I've done most of my art as stand-alone Python scripts. Here's an open-source starting point for doing

Thanks for the feedback (you and all the others - both positive and negative). HN is such a great way to present ideas to smart people. I may have been a little hyperbolic in the opening sentence, and may try to tighten up that language. It

Why would you say it's not a graph of y/(x^2+y^2)=(x+1)/(x^2+y^2)? I would argue that a conventional/binary graph is also not a "pure" representation of the equation, but rather one possible representation - on

Interesting. I didn't know you could plot like this in Desmos. Thanks for doing the work to plug them in.

To be fair, yes, there are some places where non-binary graphing has been done (like error gradient graphs in AI), but as far as I know, this is the first app where you can type in a basic x/y equation and get a non-binary graph.

I've been calling it "error" (the difference between the left and right side of the equation). But if there is a better term to use, I'd like to know it.

It is similar, except with a lot of fractals, the numbers being colored represent how many iterations are required to get outside of a set threshold (which indicates divergence).

Yep - it's just |left-right|^fuzzyLevel

I need to add more details about that. But it's simply: abs(left-right)^fuzzyValue

I did recently learn of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_set concept, and it is a very similar concept.

Oh ya, I'm not saying it's the best software architecture for most apps. It only works for a small subset of apps.

I don't think that would be a good use case.

When we move from binary to non-binary reasoning, a new dimension of mathematical topography opens up.

I use it for making art, but it is also useful for viewing more of the topography of the mathematical landscape.

Just thinking out loud here, but I wonder if the immune activity is not the problem, but some kind of destructive process that is triggering the immune response. A continuous onslaught of destruction tends to make things break down faster.
