Omitting the nulloid, the sequence is closer to (x+2)2, which sort of violates the whole point of retaining the nulloid in the first place. But, it's worth mentioning, since I'm claiming this relationship to polynomials. N-cubes compute differently than n-simplices in this method, which will be fleshed out in later posts. N-simplices will strictly follow Pascal's Triangle, but n-cubes have their own pattern, which is really no big deal. It just needs to be clarified , in my opinion.

In Czech, my native language, for example, there are well-used one-word terms for straight line and line segment, and, most importantly, separate terms for circle as an edge and circle as a whole object. English has "disk" which means the whole circle and "circle" which can mean either, based on context, but no simple word for just the curve...

True.
And "sphere" is by no means better, meaning both, the full volume shape and the mere surface.
This is a true loss, esp. when being the common base for higher-D namings: hypersphere...

This is making sense so far, other than the lathing. Also, it's pretty much the same as what wendy already outlined with her ##, #*, *#, ** operators (one of wendy's few writings that I have actually been able to understand!), just written differently. I don't remember which is which, but they are comb, prism, tegum and taper. They form a nice language by themselves, with comb removing one from the product of the dimensions, taper adding one, and the other two not changing it. Lathing, spherating, or anything similarly "circular" does not mix naturally with it, as far as I know.

*pyramid* , <#tegum*> , (crind), [*prism#], #comb#

Here's something I never found out: Is there an English word for an area between two concentric circles?

But I would like your new symbols to show the dimensionality directly. Thus what about having better:
circle = |O = { |O • (O) • 0 • n } ?
quickfur wrote:I believe the general term in English (at least as far as mathematics are concerned) is n-sphere for the surface, and n-ball for the solid. But n-sphere is commonly abused to mean n-ball, so this distinction isn't as clear-cut as it ought to be. (And I've been guilty of this myself. )
I suppose it's a matter of font choice, but I want it to be universal.

I used a similar version to that. I agree with at least denoting the absence of the n-cells. I used the infinity symbol in place of a zero in a previous format. But, I don't want any confusion with a zero and a spin operator, as both " 0 " and " O " are rather identical. Is there an alt-code for a zero with a slash through it? Like a " no solution " symbol? I suppose it's a matter of font choice, but I want it to be universal.
quickfur wrote:What about just capital C (for Circle? besides being about 3/4 circular)? Using obscure unicode symbols is all nice and everything, but when something is that difficult to type (and don't forget that on non-windows computers the alt key sequence doesn't work the same way!), you can bet that people won't be using that notation very much. Use an uglier, but easier to type notation, and it'll have much better chances of adoption.

{ |O|O • 2+|O(O) • [(O)(O)] • [-] • [-] • n }
or
{ |O|O • 2+|O(O) • [(O)(O)] • n }
for the duocylinder? When you go to compute with the poly formula, you have to remember more rules, and do more stuff mentally, when using the longer, and redundant-symbol top one. That's how I feel about it
Or, take the glome, for example:
{ |OOO • (OOO) • (-) • (-) • (-) • n }
or
{ |OOO • (OOO) • n } ?
How long, dense, and redundant of a sequence would you prefer? How many symbols would you prefer to type/memorize? I like simpler to use/memorize/compute.

Keiji wrote:But what really bugs me is what has done all along; that | isn't fitting to be used where you're using it.
Instead, | (pipe) really belongs with the { and }... as a replacement for •. The reason is, because it's the same height as { and }, so it makes a more natural separator. The different height also makes it look like it's trying to be a separator even when you use it as not a separator - which is one of the biggest reasons why I find your notation as it stands so illegible. So I (capital i) can be used where you're currently using | (pipe).

I suppose it's the best compromise of those in your post
