From: Archimedes Plutonium on 27 Jul 2010 13:38 In my previous post, I talked about strip-geometry-building as a extension of the Calculus, but upon further reflection, I believe strip-building-geometry is more than a extension of the Calculus but on par to Calculus as a science. As we come to learn the Calculus, we recognize that the integral is the reverse (inverse) of the differentiation and both processes use picket-fence as the unit in which to convert integral to derivative and vice versa. So it would be rather difficult in past centuries and decades ago to think there was a reversal of the whole of Calculus, since it is a reversal within Calculus of the derivative versus the integral. But Strip- Building-Geometry is just that, a wholescale reversal of all of Calculus where we actually build a geometrical object from strips. Calculus was the science of decomposing geometrical objects into picket fences. Here, we reverse that process of decomposition into one of building a whole new geometrical object. Strip-building- geometry, unlike the Calculus uses just plain thin strips whereas the Calculus uses strips with triangles atop one end which we recognize as a picket-fence. Now there has never been a need for Strip-building-geometry in physics nor mathematics until recently when I derived the speed of light purely out of mathematical consideration of the sphere with associated pseudosphere. So strip building geometry was born in year 2010 with the need to derive the speed of light out of pure mathematics. But here in the desire to form a geometrical vision of the factorial versus the exponental in probability theory of permutations and combinations, strip building geometry is further utilized. The probability of all possible sequential arrangements given a specific number of objects is permutation of factorial which is strip-building-geometry. It requires 536 strips to build a specific sized sphere and with only 268 of those same strips to build the associated (equal diameter) pseudosphere. This is where the factorial equals the exponential as 268! = 10^536. So strip-building-geometry is a vast field of itself and not an extension of Calculus but a reversal of Calculus. Calculus wants to measure via the decomposition of geometry whereas Strip-Building wants to build geometrical objects given a number of strips. One of the reasons strip building was late to be discovered, is that it looks messy, the first time anyone gets acquinted with it. It looks messy that we have all these strips overlapping at the poles of the Earth sphere. But as I said earlier we can cut and trim strips but we cannot have gaps or holes. We must have some overlap of strips to glue or rivet, but we must not have gaps. So it does not look as pretty as the Calculus where it is idealized from picket-fences to line segments of no width. But perhaps, with time and advances, we can make the Strip-Building-Geometry as idealized as Calculus.
