Square (EntityTopic, 20)
From Hi.gher. Space
A square is a two-dimensional hypercube.
Squares are the most common base for two-dimensional manifolds and polyominoes.
Equations
- Variables:
l ⇒ length of edges of the square
- The radial slices θ of a square are:
[:x,:y] ⇒ digon of length lsin(45° + (θ % 90°)√2
Homology groups
Any unstated homology group is the trivial group 0.
- 0-frame (four points)
- H0 = 4ℤ
- 1-frame (four line segments)
- H0 = ℤ, H1 = ℤ
- 2-frame (solid square)
- H0 = ℤ
Brick
The square is a brick with one unique point at (1,1). It represents the Cartesian product and the MAX function.
Segmentation
The square of side 2 may be segmented into 4× triangle with sides 2, 2×22-1 and angles 2×45°, 90°.
