Base 6 the magic base

No, and i don't gotta.
You've got 9 elements, with 8 filled in, but no points to say THIS is how the figure must be drawn. And for the 5, some points are on filled in squares, some are on blank elements OR squeezed into a shared element. So you have to fudge to get results, anyway.

Not terribly useful, fudged systems, because you only get dependable answers if you know where to cheat.
7 point geometry means octal
No it does not.
1110000
1001100
1000011
0100110
0101001
0010101
0011010

...with no two iterations having more than a single set bit in overlap.

and the circle doesn't really have points?
kinda my point...
I'm giving up on what you were responding to back there - after all I was in a mental ward at the time. Though I think I'm onto something with the numbers and 4 Playstation symbols, etc.

Also, i can count to 1023 on my fingers, a fact i have demonstrated for each child's girlfriend, just to mortify them (the boys, not the girlfriends].
Have you actually tried though? It involves every single combination of fingers being up and down. I am unable to have the little finger/pinky down with the others up. I'm sure large numbers of people have the same problem.

I was thinking that "web safe" colours are related to base 6.... there are 6 possibilities for each colour channel... 0 to 15 and 0 to 255 can be divided evenly into fifths (0, 3, 6, 9, C, F) (or every 51 from 0 to 255).

In the novel "Contact" by Carl Sagan there is a hidden message encoded in PI in base 11:
She find a long string of 1's and 0's late in the expansion of Pi in base 11. It's length is a product of two primes, indicating a two dimensional array. So, she plots it on her computer screen (each digit representing a pixel) and sees a perfect circle. The constant which describes the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter itself contains a picture of a circle!

I heard that Tau is superior to Pi (tau = 2 PI)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn_(geometry)#Tau_proposals

Then I thought the base should be base 36:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senary#Base_36_as_senary_compression

(Math.PI*2).toString(36) [in the javascript console]

= 6.a70akmheav

hmmmm kind of interesting... I'll see if I can get more characters

I think the golden ratio is a more special number than Tau or Pi...

to 200,000 decimal places: (the decimal dot isn't shown)

Yes, I have tried. I have done it (thus the word 'demonstrated' in the post you quoted...). There's got to be SOME benefit to sitting at a weapons console for hours at a stretch during peacetime. It takes practice, like the Vulcan salute.

Hi I apologised in my previous post for not believing you. I wonder if I will be able to do it with practice. I mean when I have my pinky down my ring finger is fully down. Also I thought the reason why combinations like 15 (just pinky down) were missing from the photos was because people were unable to do it properly:

666 and the Magickal Seal of the Sun

"the Grand Number of the Sun” contains the very sacred number 36 laid out in a 6×6 square with the numbers from 1 to 36 so arranged that they add up the same in all directions, with the total of the whole seal 666.

So that combines the special numbers 6 and 36 with 666....

That link also has many other related things
 
Apparently Nikola Tesla said: "If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have a key to the universe."

https://blog.world-mysteries.com/science/why-did-tesla-say-that-369-was-the-key-to-the-universe/



About the "digital root" (repeatedly summing the digits)

There are 360 degrees in a circle (base 10)

3+6+0 = 9

180 = 1+8+0 = 9

90 = 9+0 = 9

45 = 4+5 = 9

22.5 = 2+2+5 = 9

11.25 = 1+1+2+5 = 9

5.625 = 5+6+2+5 = 18 = 1+8 = 9

2.8125 = 2+8+1+2+5 = 18 = 1+8 = 9

etc etc

Angles in a square
= 90 x 4 = 360 = 3+6+0 = 9

Angles in a pentagon
= 108 x 5 = 540 = 5+4+0 = 9

Angles in a hexagon
= 120 x 6 = 720 = 7+2+0 = 9
 
A multiple of 9 (e.g. 360) when doubled, is still a multiple of 9 - so it keeps having a digital root of 9.... I don't understand why this is still the case when it is repeatedly halved, even when it has decimal places.
 
https://blog.world-mysteries.com/science/numbers-magick/

The Fibonacci series has a pattern that repeats every 24 numbers
......
Applying numeric reduction to the Fibonacci series produces an infinite series of 24 repeating digits:


1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 4, 3, 7, 1, 8, 9, 8, 8, 7, 6, 4, 1, 5, 6, 2, 8, 1, 9


If you take the first 12 digits and add them to the second twelve digits and apply numeric reduction to the result, you find that they all have a value of 9.
 
A multiple of 9 (e.g. 360) when doubled, is still a multiple of 9 - so it keeps having a digital root of 9.... I don't understand why this is still the case when it is repeatedly halved, even when it has decimal places.

Because 9=10-1, and 10 has 2 as one of its prime factors.

It really is that simple. 15 in base 16, 59 in base 60, 11 in base 12 or 5 in base 6 al show the same "magic" behaviour.

The reason it also works for decimals is that 22.5 * 10, 11.25 * 100 are divisible by 9, necessarily so - because heading h is dividing by a prime factor if the base.
 
@Jokodo:


Thanks, I'll look into this using base 6....


instead of 9 I'll use 5 when halving:


5 = 5
2.3 = 2+3 = 5
1.13 = 1+1+3 = 5
0.343 = 3+4+3 = 14 = 1+4 = 5
0.1513 = 1+5+1+3 = 14 = 1+4 = 5


Note I did things like (5/16).toString(6) and (3+4+3).toString(6)


I think 5 is more of a magic number than 9.... see the pentagram in post 18


Code:
function digitRoot(num, base) {
  return ((parseInt(num, base) - 1) % (base - 1)) + 1;
}


And now about the Fibonacci sequence:


0: 1 = 1 [1]
1: 1 = 1 [1]
2: 2 = 2 [2]
3: 3 = 3 [3]
4: 5 = 5 [5]
5: 8 = 12 [3]
6: 13 = 21 [3]

12: 233 = 1025 [3]
13: 377 = 1425 [2]
14: 610 = 2454 [5]
15: 987 = 4323 [2]
16: 1597 = 11221 [2]
17: 2584 = 15544 [4]

29: 832040 = 25500012 [5]
30: 1346269 = 44504421 [4]


#0 to #9
1,1,2,3,5,3,3,1,4,5
#10 to #19
4,4,3,2,5,2,2,4,1,5

that involves a pair of numbers, then two other numbers that add up to 5, then a 5...

I think base 6 is better since the pattern repeats faster. Note that in base 6, 5+5 = 14 = 5....

I guess the digital root sum of the digital roots is the same as the digital roots of the regular sum

doubling:
1 = 1
2 = 2
4 = 4
8 = 12 = 3
16 = 24 = 1
32 = 52 = 2
64 = 144 = 4
128 = 332 = 3
