Elsewhere : Everyday Life On A HyperGeometric Earth v. 1.0

[PatrickPowers]

The long-unawaited version 1.0 of Elsewhere : Everyday Life On A Hypergeometric Earth is imminent. Just a final check and a few more illustrations, like 4D Wiger Toods' dramatic game-winner corkscrew putt. It has the stuff I left out of the Version 0 because I thought they were too difficult for the general market. Things like hyperdimensional engineering, automobiles and airplanes and helicopters. What the heck, include them anyway. They can always look at the pictures.

I wrote it all finishing in 2021 but got bored with the whole thing. Recently I've finished off what little there was to do. It helps that I've partially forgotten it which makes it easier to find unclear explanations and mistakes.

Cool, I will look forward to that Patrick.

There's maybe 50% more material. It turns out that the climate of a 4D planet depends strongly on the ratio between the rotational speeds of the two planes, what I call the horological ratio or horatio, and there are about five different cases. Hyperdimensional engineering : automobiles, airplanes, helicopters and ships. Map styles for 4D Earth, including the Sparkplug and Cucumber Zeppelin maps. My fave part is 4D Stonehenge : mapping out the locations where the Sun crosses the horizon makes a complicated 2D pattern that looks like an eagle spreading its wings. HyperDruids would love that.

Thanks Patrick. I look forward to studying it.
I apologise as I would like to understand what you've added the last few days but I've been too busy to throw my brain at it.
And, it needs a heavy delve to begin to piece things together.
I would like to add cogent content too if I am able to but we'll see how I go when I can get my head into it.
But, thank you for working on these subjects.

Now that it's out there I'm dissatisfied. The new material is much too terse. It often states the result with no attempt to explain how we got there. Now that the book is out there embarrassing me I'm motivated to do something about it.

I can tell you that in writing a book motivation is key. Books are an unwieldy and time-consuming form. God knows how many books have been abandoned because the author got sick of the thing. "Elsewhere" is like a textbook so one must be very careful to not damage the reader's trust via mistakes, that makes it even more time consuming than novels.

But now I've got motivation once again I might even return to the simulation programs that I also got sick of dealing with.
