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.
The square also forms one of the three regular tilings of two-dimensional space, the square tiling.
Coordinates
The Cartesian cordinates for a square of side 2, centered at the origin, are:
(±1, ±1)
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
- The cross sections of a square are:
[!x,!y] ⇒ digon of length l
- The hypervolumes of a square are:
perimeter (total edge length) = 4l
area = l2
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
Diamond
A diamond is the dual of a square when orientation is preserved. In other words, it's a square rotated around the origin by 45 degrees. it can be considered to be represented as <II>.
The diamond should not be confused with the rhombus.
Brick
The diamond is a brick with unique points at (1,0) and (0,1). It represents the tegum product and the SUM function.
Brick
The square is a brick with one unique point at (1,1). It represents the Cartesian product and the MAX function.
Dissection
The square of side 2 may be dissected into 4× triangle with sides 2, √2, √2 and angles 45°, 45°, 90°.
