Last thing, Delian Problem

Post by Phil8659 »

The Last Thing I did to solve the Delian Problem

What are geometric progressions? They are simply the combination of a numbers, each of which has been proportioned to the square root.

a) This would belong under the mathematics section of the forum.

b) What do you mean by "solve"? HOW? WHY are you bothering to try to demonstrate something that has been proven impossible. Dom you not accept that in mathematics some things can be PROVEN impossible?
<< given a line segment, using just compass and straight edge, construct another line segment that is the cube root of two times the length of the line segment >>

c) This is an ancient problem, going back to classical Greek geometry. Possible or not remained an open question until the mid 19th Century when Pierre Wantzel proved it impossible.

If by "solved" you mean some method what will produce a CLOSE approximation, that is another matter. I'm not sure, but perhaps there has not been a proof of what method gives the closest approximation possible.

Every method I use to do exponents in Geometry I have already proven to be exact, not close, exact. In fact, in regard to the Delian Solution, there is a very primitive figure, which for some reason does not appear to have been examined, never found it in any book but mine. It is remarkable for its simplicity, and proving its accuracy goes back to the late 1990', in my release of that version of The Delian Quest. I use Mathcad to write equations. And since it does symbolic logic, that is pure algebra, you can view the finished equations for yourself.
You parrot, but are too lazy to do any real thinking or research, just like a brainless parrot.
Geometry is a pure binary grammar, it is, and always has been exact.
I was doing exponential equations in Geometry, while professionals were claiming that it is impossible, simply because they are ignorant of geometry.

I suspect this is simply misunderstanding. The cube root of two can be obtained with conics, with a MARKED straight edge, etc. But "solutions" like those not solution to the Delian problem, which is to construct using JUST compass and straight edge (unmarked). .

I see that you really believe that being stupid and ignorant of your topic is excusable.
Tell me, it is a fact, Plato stated that all grammar is the product of binary recursion, just like the computer shows you that you are using. How then, do you come to believe that any grammar system is defined by particular tools and not simple binary recursion?

You do not even know the foundation of grammar that you try to use constantly.
Binary recursion can only produce a binary result, or assertion and denial. What drawing.
You want to learn how to do all of your mathematics with a simple geometric figure? I have shown how in my work for decades and every but of it is simple logic.
