  1. I was working on a small experimental project that grew into something unexpectedly structured, and I wanted to share it with folks who enjoy unusual mathematics and tiny languages.

    I'm calling it **UNS — the Universal Number Set**.

    UNS is a number system extrapolated entirely from a *single foundational principle*:

    > **All values live in a normalized microstate distribution
    > (sum = 1), and dimensionality is a viewpoint rather than a constraint.**

    When that rule is taken seriously and applied consistently, a whole system emerges:

    • numbers become distributed functions (UValues)
    • measurement is an explicit, normalized state (UStates)
    • arithmetic is “lifted” and defined elementwise
    • undefined classical expressions (like n/0) remain representable
    • readout behaves like a weighted inner product
    • classical arithmetic embeds naturally as a special case
    • dimensional equivalence becomes a built-in symmetry

    It also comes with:

    • a tiny expression language (`.unse`)
    • a browser-based runtime + IDE
    • a full spec, helper catalog, grammar, glossary
    • examples, idioms, and a lot of documentation

    I’m sharing it mainly because the structure that fell out surprised me, and I’d love feedback or pointers to related work.

    If you enjoy weird arithmetic, signal-like representations, unconventional semantics, or small mathematical languages, I’d be interested in your thoughts and feedback.

  6. CW: My new prime number discoveries

    ((10^n)-1)*(2/3)-53, a formula resulting in rows of n number of sixes with the last two sixes replaced with the number 13, result in primes for n = 2, 3, 7, 12, 30, 97, 192, 265, 327, 417, 475, 574, 595, 699, 9563, and 9601. :MOULE_Happy:

    Update: It's ran for 10 days and hasn't found any other new primes below n = 37000. Stopping the program now!

  7. Eric Bates: Passing the Spark

    Why do some people seem so natural on camera, while the rest of us feel awkward and inarticulate? This talk delves into the art of speaking to a camera and sharing your skills online...

  8. It is inevitable as time goes by that we lose people from the #G4G community. This video from #G4G15 remembers some of our most recent losses.

  10. Trying to clear out my backlog of pentominoes puzzles that I haven't shared yet so I can create some sort of pentominoes bingo game for students to participate in throughout the year.

    Up today:

  11. I've made a thing that helps you to make a printable template for a hexaflexagon, with your choice of pictures on each of the three faces: somethingorotherwhatever.com/h

    You can take a photo with your camera, or upload a file.

  12. Ooh, ooh! Looks like there's only one order-3 #MagicSquare, so I had to try 4th-order. I finally got one by putting 7...10 in the middle:

    14, 1, 15, 4
    3, 8, 10, 13
    6, 9, 7, 12
    11, 16, 2, 5

    Uh oh... this is fun!
