Re: Oracle of Pi design

"Taint paint." ...

Imagine! Just past the 11-mile marker (approx.) on another 4-legged ride across the Cartesian plane, in search of squared circles meaning and value for this state of Pi, I met a full-whiskered Oracle Wannabe (IMHO). "Probably couldn't get a ticket to Burning Man." I conjectured, according to his state of dress and obvious preparation.

"What's tied to your saddle?" he asked. "A bag of bones?" he grinned. "Hmmm ..." I agreed ... "Those geometric objects might be considered a bag of bones - a bag of Oracle bones." [pyromancy, a form of divination using oracle bones was popular in China during the late Shang dynasty]

"Lemme try 'em!" he insisted. "No, they've never been used for that." I protested. "Well, you try 'em! ... and I'll read them bones!"

Intrigued by the suggestion, I tossed the geometric "bones" onto the ground in a squared circle (IMHO). O. Wannabe stuck a weed in his mouth, chewed for 11 minutes (approx.), then spoke slowly with a soft, rhythmic voice: "Taint taint ... taint taint ... taint bad! ... taint good! ... taint taint."

"Say what?!" I mumbled. But O. Wannabe was lost in thought, chewing his weed.

"Taint paint!" I suddenly blurted, remembering that I had promised the city to complete my outside house maintenance by next week! And now, taint rain, taint snow, taint but the show - I'm outta excuses to procrastinate!

About the Oracle bones (aka, Oracle of Pi) ...

Sum of squares of two small circles equals square of large circle.
Sides of squares = sqrt(Pi) [= 1.7724538..], sqrt(2(Pi)) [= 2.5066282..]
Diameters = 2, 2(sqrt(2)) [= 2.8284271..]

Re: Taint Paint, Indeed (new design concept)

Fortunately, the "whole bag of bones" is a modern plastic flex-bag because the geometric objects in Taint Paint, Indeed are many! The foundational geometry of Oracle of Pi is being explored and replicated to larger circles and squares.

The Taint Paint title is a reminder to the explorer that the house painting deadline still aprproaches. In his defense, such work is now daily - geometry exploration occurs at night after his feedbag is empty and he enjoys a few hours of mindless mouse manipulation ( hopefully, "mindless" at alpha level).

Re: Taint Paint, Indeed design

I tried to take legible notes, but O. Wannabe was talkin' through his weed and I was scribblin' fast because of my "Taint Paint" dalliance.

Later, a first draft of the design (O. Wannabe's vision of the oracle "bones") was created from the notes. I suspect that his vision alludes to a Burning Man ligneous temple where man's attempts to "square the circle" during the year are honored and preserved (via the smoke "signals") in the fervid fiery finale.

"Who can tell?" I'll revist the design post Taint Paint.

Re: The Pi Pointers (new design concept)

In this geometry, two sets of pointers (circle inscribed in square inscribed in circle)

larger squared circle.

Re: The Pi Pointers design

A contrasting set* of two circles and their squares will be required to help prove geometrically that the circles are squared. The Pi Pointers geometry now includes a simple marker (one more green line) that shows a radius of the circle for the square whose side length = 1.

* in this design, largest (dark blue) circle's diameter = 2, smallest (golden) square's side length = 1 (only one side is shown).

Say what? The integrated geometry of a squared circle and circle squared.
Say what? Both circles have a similar circle-squaring Pythagorean triangle,
as well as similar circle-squaring scalene triangle.

Re: The Pi Pointers design

The color of the marker radius was changed from green to dark blue for better design presentation
... and the square (magenta) associated with the golden line was added.

I'm still uncertain why this radius is available but see that it is
... and defines the circle for the square whose side length = 1,
A parallelogram near the bottom of this square is intriguing!

Re: The Pi Pointers design

I'm still uncertain why this radius is available but see that it is
... and defines the circle for the square whose side length = 1

My curiosity was intense! the mystery is solved:

The radius is part of an object set (not all lines shown) that defines two back-to-back Pythagorean triangles, each having an hypotenuse equal to sqrt(Pi), and the shared side equal to Pi/2. This triangle set defines a circle whose diameter equals 2 (the largest circle in the design). Interestingly, the "parallelogram", viewed as a diamond, became the perfect pointer for solving this mystery!

Re: Concise Summary of Pi design

"Sqrt(Pi) defines the square of a circle whose diameter equals 2. Conversely, a circle
whose diameter equals 4(sqrt(1/Pi)) is squared when that side length equals 2."

Something was wrong in the comparison of a squared circle and circle squared;
further analysis explained the problem: geometric perspective must include the similar

Area of circle whose diameter = 2

Re: Concise Summary of Pi design
A related perspective on this unique vertex angle:

What is arccos(sqrt(Pi)/2)?

The trigonometric function that defines the vertex angle of a Pythagorean triangle that squares the circle:
arccos(.88622692545275801364908374167057..) = 27.597112635690604451732204752339.. degrees.

For a circle having a diameter equal to 2, the triangle's long side (circle's chord; side of its square)
= sqrt(Pi) and its hypotenuse = 2 (circle's diameter), with the vertex point on the circumference.

Postscript: An expert says "arccos(pi^(1/2)) is undefined because the square root of pi is greater than 1."
So, the geometry in the design only looks like squared circles ... apparently.
... or is there a disconnect between the math and the geometry?

Re: Aye Captain (new design concept)

I've been lamenting how no geometry exists where objects (alone or in a group) can be divided in half to prove that the circle is squared. While this new design concept seems to emphasize (again) that the creativty toy box is bottomless, it also teases that proof-by-halves may indeed exist.

Building on the foundational geometry of Concise Summary of Pi, this design incorporates an "eye" in the middle of an isosceles trapezoid. And this visual hint suggested that "Aye Captain", as a design title, would offer acknowledgment of the possibility as well as agreement with the invitation to keep exploring.
