Talk:Schlegel diagram

message: Hello -
There are a number of misleading aspects of a Schlegel Diagram as it relates to tesseracts.  The diagram is *accurate* but only to the degree that people are aware of the distortions.  For example, a tesseract has *zero* outside faces.  Each face attaches to an adjoining cube.  For another, there is no "inside" cube, but rather a 4D void that is *bounded* by (8) 3D cubes.  For yet another, no the larger "cube" does not count as the 8th cube.  For still another, please understand that mathematically, this projection was built looking orthogonally directly down one axis.  That means that two cubes are effectively super-imposed on one another.  That "internal" cube is really 2 cubes bounding a 4D void on either side (as are the other 6 cubes, each pair in a different 3-brane).  And for yet another, please understand that the six distorted side cubes do not have a face that creates the outer wall of the "Big Cube".  No.  Each of those side cubes (due to distortion) are actually concave regions: Both their "inner" and "outer" faces are super-imposed on top of each other--due to fact we are mathematically looking down axis in K Dimension.  In other words, one of the faces attaches to one of the "inner" cubes and the other face attaches to the other cube.  
So that boggles the mind, right?  The Schlegel Diagram is *accurate* but by itself misleading.  
I would offer another model--if people are interested in seeing it--that has its own distortion but of a different type, due to the mathematical viewing angle.  As such, it clarifies the Schlegel Diagram and the Schlegel clarifies it.  Together, they make it possible to comprehend tesseracts.  
Why is this valuable?  There are actually applications for tesseracts.  It goes beyond the scope of this, but in a nutshell, one way is that it demonstrates a way to abstractly increase information density by many times...but only if people *understand* them.  
To verify the veracity of this claim, one merely has to do the work.  We are only talking about a small number of vertices from (0,0,0,0) to (1,1,1,1)--16.  It is not that hard.  The trick is to appreciate the multiple 3-branes--another assumption is that all 8 cubes are in (x,y,z).  They are not.  Two are in (x,y,z), two are in (x,y,k), two are in (y,z,k), and two are in, (x,z,k).  
In the Exploded Schlegel Model, the 8 cubes are clearly visible surrounding a 4D void.  They have no outside faces and each face is identified (with markup features) as adjoining an adjacent cube's face.  There are clearly 6 ways to circumnavigate the tesseract.  The inner 4D void symbolically has 8 in/out vectors (which would only be literal in-out vectors in 4D space).  My sources are my own work.

Talk:Four-centred arch

message: I'd like to do some work (time permitting!) on a range of related medieval arch styles. These arches are characterised by having been laid out as circular arc segments drawn with compasses. They're not elliptical, nor do they (but rarely) use straight lines.
One thing that's holding me up is an absence of CAD facilities to do the diagrams. Could anyone offer help? Otherwise I'd hand-drawing and then scanning, or using photos.
In particular, I note that the "Tudor Arch" illustration here is inaccurate. The upper segments are drawn as straight, rather than as arcs. This isn't unknown, but it's atypical. It's also very rare on an arch with these rough proportions - it was wider arches (especially fireplaces that didn't need strength) that tended to use it. user:Andy DingleyAndy Dingley 14:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Arch shapes

message: It's just wrong to say that a Tudor arch is the same as a semi-circular arch or parabolic arch. The source cited doesn't read like anything authoritative on the subject of arches. It is shallow. It regards all of "gothic arch", "semicircular arch", "parabolic arch", and "Tudor arch" as synonyms for each other. It simply copies and pastes the same "also known as" material in each of the four terms, so that we learn there, for instance, that a parabolic arch is also called a parabolic arch and a semi-circular arch is also called a semi-circular arch. This is a commercial page, not a work of scholarship, and isn't good enough to be a wiki source. It betrays no knowledge of the actual manner of constructing the various arches with geometry (and anyone who has such knowledge is NOT going to write down that these four kinds of arches are the same thing).64.131.188.183 (talk) 13:35, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Error vector magnitude

message: Prior to my edit of 2020 February 10, the talk section correctly flagged the confusion over magnitude and power.  RMS Power is at best misleading and at worst meaningless and confusing.  Power is found from magnitude by taking mean square value.  Taking the root of the mean square value of magnitudes yields another magnitude, not a power.  So I fixed the article by tying the EVM definition to that used in Keysight instruments and referencing my fixes to the manual for the Keysight instruments.

message: I think that EVM in dB should be calculated as 20*log10(EVMrms)  = 20*log10(sqrt(mean_square(EVM))  or  10*log10( mean_square(EVM ) ) and not as in the article. This is because dB relates to power (and not amplitude).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.191.233.199 (talk) 16:44, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

message: This is a disambiguation page. It is not a page about two wheeled motorcycles. It is not a page for lists of motorcycle related topics. Read the definition Wikipedia:Disambiguation - especially section 1.1 What not to include - and you will see that much of what is on the page currently does not belong. However a link to an article about a musical group called motorcycle is a perfectly justifiable use of a disambiguation page. See the example quoted in the page above for "Mercury" refers to planets, elements, cars, plants, mythology, spaceflight - all different things, all placed on a disambiguation page to that someone looking for information relating to mercury can find the specific piece of info that they want to quickly and easily. 
I would ask that whoever keeps removing the link stop. Continual reversion is contravention of Wikipedia policy (Wikipedia:Three-revert rule) and is likely to get your edit access suspended.

To understand many shamanistic beliefs (e.g. the Eskimo soul concepts), it is important to explain soul dualism.

message: Located at 41.5° N, Alberto became a tropical storm further north than any other Atlantic tropical cyclone since reliable tropical cyclone observation began in 1941. The previous northernmost latitude at which a system had become a tropical storm was an unnamed hurricane at 40.5° N in 1971. Prior to that, a hurricane in 1855 and another in 1858 were first observed at latitudes farther north than Alberto, but their tracks were incomplete and therefore not considered reliable.
I copied that from the article and put it here. This is per the recent discussion on WT:WPTC. Unless there is a reliable source who actually says the above, it shouldn't be in an article, since otherwise it borders too much on WP:OR. --♫ Hurricanehink (talk)  02:43, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
