• The splendor of true

    From Richard Hachel@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 8 23:54:02 2025
    XPost: fr.sci.maths

    A nice contributor pointed out that the imaginary universe based on i,
    which is an interesting idea to find roots to equations that do not have
    any, that is to say, roughly, to find the roots of the symmetric curve
    pointed at $(0,y) in the Hachel system.

    Although physicists use incorrect complex products, since for me, the real
    part of a complex product is (aa'+bb'), and not (aa'-bb'), they
    nevertheless manage to find pretty figures.

    So I wondered, what would happen if, instead of working with their
    equations, we worked with mine.

    Into what strange world would we fall, if, instead of using Z=aa'-bb'+i(ab'+a'b), we used the much more logical and natural equation Z=aa'+bb'+i(ab'+a'b).

    How would the "Mandelbrot" or the "Julia" obtained be less pretty?

    Isn't beauty the splendor of truth?

    You have not the slightest idea of the connection between fractals and
    complex numbers, but you talk from you psychiatric hospital, copying
    fancy names you just discovered yesterday. Pathetic.

    Of course, I don't know at all this universe of "fractals", of
    "Mendelbrot", of "Julia".

    I have no idea how to use it, and I have absolutely neither the desire nor
    the time to use it.

    I was simply wondering what it would be like if we used my logical
    equations, based on a certain vision of the imaginary universe, to draw
    this kind of representations.

    As I wondered what would be like, if there were good computer scientists, evolutions in relatistic universes other than those that are presented to
    us, and which are ALL particularly stupid.

    I have often been saddened by all this energy spent for nothing, or for
    little things.

    Why cannot you consider that *both* make sense? As a matter of fact the
    first formula leads to the field of complex numbers C and the second one
    leads to the set of split-complex ("perplex") numbers R(j).

    C is a field that extend nicely polynomials algebra and analysis.

    R(j) is describing Hyperbolic Geometry, hence Special Relativity

    There is another structure R(\epsilon) that is interesting too as it
    expresses calculus in an algebraic way.

    And, again, you are putting stuff together without justifications: your
    "mirror curve" babbling is basically nonsense, i^4=i^2=-1 is even worse
    and NEITHER are in any way related to the formulas you prefer: aa'+bb'
    (i.e. R(j)) instead of aa'-bb' (i.e. C) for the real part of the result.

    You are a fractal of misunderstandings and confusions. Even your
    confusions are confused...

    This is perhaps a misunderstanding on your part. Complex numbers will
    also crop up for polynomials that have real roots where you still need
    to deal with complex numbers in order to obtain these real roots.

    Give me your version of the addition and multiplication functions of
    your new version, and I should be able to try it out.

    Here are mine, using my JavaScript code from:

    (note: the vectors are 2-ary here)

    https://fractallife247.com/ct_main.js

    For addition:
    __________________________
    function ct_vec2_add(v0, v1) {
        return [v0[0] + v1[0], v0[1] + v1[1]];
    }
    __________________________


    For Multiplication:
    __________________________
    function ct_vec2_complex_mul(v0, v1) {
        var x = v0[0] * v1[0] - v0[1] * v1[1];
        var y = v0[0] * v1[1] + v0[1] * v1[0];
        return [x, y];
    }
    __________________________

    Also, a length of a vector might be useful to me even though I can infer
    it from your versions of the two functions above:
    __________________________
    function ct_vec2_length(v0) {
        return Math.sqrt(v0[0] * v0[0] + v0[1] * v0[1]);
    }

    function ct_vec2_complex_abs(v0) {
        return ct_vec2_length(v0);
    }
    __________________________

    So, give me your versions of the functions using your new stuff, mainly (addition and multiplication), and I will give it a go when I get some
    free time to burn. Giving me a length would also help me. Otherwise I
    will just use the traditional version. I am interested in what it might actually look like via a plot...

    What makes you claim that ( aa' + bb', ab' + a'b ) is "more logical and natural"
    than ( aa' - bb', ab' + a'b) ?

    Several reasons.
    First, the simplicity of writing, all in positive terms.

    Not very convincing. bb' as well as -bb' can be (depending on the signs of
    b and b')

    In arithmetic a + b is not "simpler" than a - b.

    The concordance with statistical science.
    The ease of natural understanding (Plougastel high school).

    Quite a weak argument. What you noticed for integer values of real and imaginary parts of numbers i n the split-complex numbers does not provide
    any simpler way to compute the cardinals of cartesian products. You
    basically noticed what is well-known :

    z = x + y*j = (x - y)*e + (x + y)*ee with e = (1-j)/2 and ee = (1+j)/2
    then if you denote z1 = (a,b), z2 = (a',b') the coordinates of z in the
    (e, ee) base you got :
    z1*z2 = (aa', bb') (in the same base)

    see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-complex_number#The_diagonal_basis

    Interesting, but not that much a big deal.

    The perpetual monitoring of derivations using i=-1 as a simple numerical concordance check.

    This sentence has no meaning.

    The simplicity of the explanation and the generalization of i^x=-1

    It is false. Hopefully! As R(j) is consistent, and j^2 = 1 NOT -1, the existence of an item i such as i^x = -1 for all x leads to a direct contradiction.

    In other words: R(j) that you somewhat "rediscovered" is totally unrelated
    to this other (silly) idea of yours of i^x = -1 for all x.

    The visualization of the associated curves symmetrical in $(0,y).
    Roots often much simpler to calculate and write...

    Again, this is 100% unrelated with R(j).

    What you are calculating is NOT supplemental roots of the function you
    start with. You are calculating the roots of *another* function : g:g(x) = 2*f(0) - f(-x) (i.e. the graph of g is the point symmetric graph of f with respect to (0, f(0)) for a polynomial the relation between coefficient of
    f and g is very simple :

    f(x) = a_n*x^n + a_(n-1)x^n-1 + a_(n-2)x^n-2 + ... + a_2 x^2 + a_1 x + a_0

    g(x) = 2f(0) - f(-x)

    g(x) = 2*a_0 - a_n*(-1)^n*x^n - a_(n-1)*(-1)^(n-2)*x^(n-1) - ... - a_2
    (-1)^2 x^2 - a_1*(-1)*x - a_0

    g(x) = (-1)^(n+1)*a_n*x^n + (-1)^n*a_(n)*x^(n-1) + ... + a_2 (-1)^3 x^2 + a_1*(-1)^2 + a_0

    (for instance for f(x) = x^3 + 2x^2 + 3x + 4, g(x) = 8 - (-x)^3 - 2*(-x)^2
    - 3*(-x) - 4
    = x^3 - 2x^2 + 3x + 4)

    See: https://www.wolframalpha.com/input?i=x%5E3+%2B+2x%5E2+%2B+3x+%2B+4%2C+x%5E3+-+2x%5E2+%2B+3x+%2B+4
    for the graphs of f and g.

    There is no "need" for an item i such as i^x = -1 to get these coefficient (hopefully, as i^x = -1 is inconsistent as a property.

    Anyway g this has nothing to do with the roots of f. By definition of
    "root": a root of function or polynomial f is a value a such as f(a) = 0. PERIOD).

    So basically, it's simpler and more beautiful.

    The only argument you have, at the end, is that this is something you
    proposed. This is egotism, pathological egotism.

    Moreover the *three* "ideas" you proposed (R(j) i.e. "split-complex
    numbers" as it is usually called, i^x = -1 and "mirror curves") are 100% unrelated: the first one is consistent and already known, the second is contradictory, and the last ones does not address the point of roots of a function f).

    Now what does that change for fractals, for Gauss's representation, for experimentally validated equations, I don't know.

    When it comes to representation of R(j) I, and other, posted several
    links. The natural representation is R^2 (like for complex numbers C), and there are surprising stuff. For instance the set of points at a constant distance from the origin, is no more a circle put an hyperbola).

    Anyway, nothing you can write could change what the set of complex numbers
    are - by definition - and the properties it has that R(j) does not have. Mainly: being a field, making true the fundamental theorem of Algebra and allowing to extend analysis from R to R^2 (i.e. derivative and integrals).

    Humm... I am not all that familiar with the split complex numbers.
    Something like this?

    glm::vec2
    ct_complex_split_mul(
        const glm::vec2& z1,
        const glm::vec2& z2
    ) {
        return {
            z1.x * z2.x + z1.y * z2.y,
            z1.x * z2.y + z1.y * z2.x
        };
    }


    Where:

    glm::vec2 s0 = { 0, 1 };

    std::cout << "s0 * s0 = " << ct_complex_split_mul(s0, s0) << "\n";

    outputs:

    s0 * s0 = (1, 0)

    ?

    Yes !

    Here is what I got for my little test:

    https://i.ibb.co/WWwhqh9K/image.png

    Oh how fun!

    That's what Python found using Wolfram.
    That is not surprising :
    Mandelbrot set is generated by the iterative sequence:

    z_0=(0,0),
    z_{n+1} = z_n^2 + c

    The set is defined by all the c \in \C such that the sequence (z_n) is
    bounded.

    With the multiplication rule used in the split-complex set, it is
    probably easy to show that if |c_1|+|c_2|<1, then the sequence is bounded.

    BTW, did you know that the name "Mandelbrot set" is quite an usurpation?
    Benoit Mandelbrot did not "find" or be the first to give a definition of
    the Mandelbrot set. It was described by Fatou and Julia before the WW1,
    without any computer graphics, so they probably did not have a real
    vision of it, and Mandelbrot was just the first to make a picture of it
    in the 1980. Adrien Douady, who was a prominent mathematician working on
    the subject in the 80's (Mandelbrot is not a real mathematician),
    decided for this name, instead of Fatou-Julia.

    Although physicists use incorrect complex products, since for me, the
    real part of a complex product is (aa'+bb'), and not (aa'-bb'), they
    nevertheless manage to find pretty figures.

    So I wondered, what would happen if, instead of working with their
    equations, we worked with mine.

    Into what strange world would we fall, if, instead of using Z=aa'-
    bb'+i(ab'+a'b), we used the much more logical and natural equation
    Z=aa'+bb'+i(ab'+a'b).

    How would the "Mandelbrot" or the "Julia" obtained be less pretty?

    Isn't beauty the splendor of truth?

    Give me your version of the addition and multiplication functions of
    your new version, and I should be able to try it out.

    Here are mine, using my JavaScript code from:

    (note: the vectors are 2-ary here)

    https://fractallife247.com/ct_main.js

    For addition:
    __________________________
    function ct_vec2_add(v0, v1) {
         return [v0[0] + v1[0], v0[1] + v1[1]];
    }
    __________________________


    For Multiplication:
    __________________________
    function ct_vec2_complex_mul(v0, v1) {
         var x = v0[0] * v1[0] - v0[1] * v1[1];
         var y = v0[0] * v1[1] + v0[1] * v1[0];
         return [x, y];
    }
    __________________________

    Also, a length of a vector might be useful to me even though I can
    infer it from your versions of the two functions above:
    __________________________
    function ct_vec2_length(v0) {
         return Math.sqrt(v0[0] * v0[0] + v0[1] * v0[1]);
    }

    function ct_vec2_complex_abs(v0) {
         return ct_vec2_length(v0);
    }
    __________________________

    So, give me your versions of the functions using your new stuff,
    mainly (addition and multiplication), and I will give it a go when I
    get some free time to burn. Giving me a length would also help me.
    Otherwise I will just use the traditional version. I am interested in
    what it might actually look like via a plot...




    Python already gave the answer. Please read. This silly rule transforms
    the Mandelbrot set into a square :)

    It is true that my method is much simpler and more elegant to find the
    complex roots of functions, and that it is much more detailed. I explain
    in concrete terms what we do as rotation and with what, and I explain what
    i is, and its universality.
    Therefore, in the case of orthonormal Cartesian frames, there is no longer
    any need to try to place abstract roots in 3D that have nothing to do with
    the subject. A simple x'Ox axis is enough without even using the y'Oy dimension. It is enough to cross an inverse axis i'Oi (from right to left)
    to place my complex coordinates there.
    It is very simple.
    We can do complex additions there if we want.
    Z=(a+a')+i(b+b').
    Now, if we talk about products of complexes, it is not the same thing.
    We must place a second axis in the horizontal plane x'2Ox2, similar to
    x'Ox, with its own counter-axis i'Oi, without needing to touch y'Oy which remains as is.
    We will therefore be able, on this horizontal plane, to practice the multiplication of complex numbers.
    This has nothing to do with Gaussian geometry, which is "something else".

    It has nothing to do with anything, it is 100% inconsistent bullshit. As

    more inconsistency and more lies. Again, as usual with Dr Hachel/Lengrand.

    Gazing his own navel I guess :-)

    Anyway I need to thank everybody for making me give split complex
    numbers a go. Thanks.

    I actually discover them (well as *numbers* I knew about hyperbolic
    geometry i.e. Lorentz Boosts) at this occasion. The sad part is that

    By the way, did you consider using duals numbers R(epsilon) = { a +
    b*epsilon } with epsilon =/= 0 and epsilon^2 = 0, i.e. R[X]/X^2 ?
