In my last post I described N-Grams as “a collection of diagrams formed using the same mathematical / diagrammatic rules / conventions as the Enneagram, but applied to varying number bases and divisors.” Here are the N-Grams for base ten … Read More
[This post is (eventually: was) from http://www.solbakkn.com/math/ngramdetail.htm .] N-Grams are derived from the mathematical and graphical properties of the enneagram. The enneagram is a “paired” N-Gram, that is, composed of two “atomic” N-Grams which complement each other. (A pair of … Read More
[ What’s below is from old web content about N-Grams. To conserve the old content, I’m going to move it to a few posts here. This post is (eventually: was) from http://www.solbakkn.com/math/ngramintro.htm .] N-Grams is my term for a geometric … Read More
