The Chestahedron - The Wonder of Seven - EOS
"EOS is a consensus blockchain operating system that provides databases, account permissions, scheduling, authentication, and internet-application communication to massively improve the efficiency of smart business development that uses parallelization to make possible blockchain scalability to millions of users and millions of transactions per second."
The EOS ICO is in the testnet phase right now and the video below is the creator of EOS Dan Larimer who expounds upon all of this.
What I wanted to point out is the logo of EOS. I find it to be brilliant, and it's one thing of many that shows the genius behind EOS, Dan Larimer, and his team.
This logo can be viewed as The Chestahedron. The Chestahedron is a 7 sided geometric figure which is similar to so-called Platonic Solids, in that all of the faces have the same amount of surface area. The difference being that the Chestahedron has 2 types of faces, Triangles and Kites, whereas the platonic solids only have one type of face.
In the video below, you will see and hear from Frank Chester regarding this 7 sided figure.
Frank is an artist, sculptor, and geometrician, based in San Francisco. He has taught for more than 30 years in high schools and colleges. Since encountering the work of Rudolf Steiner, Frank has been exploring the relation between form and spirit. Frank is well known also from his art "The Heart's Art" which is about how the heart has such precise geometric features.
This is great and fascinating information, and it brings even more excitement to that of EOS.
You are friends with the One and Only Ron! Send him my regards. I will watch the video and perhaps comment again, since I love geometry. But I could not wait to tell you how jelous of you I am, I wish I could shake hands with this great man some day.
It's been one of the highlights of my life getting to know him and rub shoulders with him. Hopefully you can do the same some day. Thanks for the comment
Fascinating indeed! Some 20 years ago I bought my first Mathematica package to try to implement a geometrical dream of mine, inspired by the platonic solids. I was fascinated by the hybrid shapes from a sphere and a tetrahedron, for example, all of them fitting in a cube. I´ll look for it. I´ll post some pictures if I find them.
The idea was the mathematical division of space with different shapes, any numbre of them. I made it in 2D, but I failed miserably in 3D. Now I know more maths, so I should look into it again.
Thanks for the inspiration.
You're very welcome. But yes, I agree, it is very fascinating, and I look forward to you posting the pictures of you doing that. It's a great idea, and maybe it is worth looking at it again.
