Danielle do you have a good way of thinking about Hamiltonians, an interest to type about them to me, or a resource you like??
I just encountered the idea yesterday, and feel like I’ve gotten left behind navigating the sprawling ideas in that thread I linked.1 reply 2 retweets 1 like -

Ok, so
@DanielleFong I see how these Hamiltonian cycles/circuits/paths are followed along the edges of polyhedra — what is the next step you see? what are some purposes/applications of this shape & relationship between corners/edges & the path that connects them?1 reply 2 retweets 2 likes -

In the other thread, the goal was to use them to describe music — but it felt like ideas were expanding to cover more — and when introducing the concept of microtonality, it felt as though the Hamiltonian paths described would have more curvature, rather than being straight edges

yes, the hamiltonian paths in nature probably *create* curvature

hmmm ARE there hamiltonian paths in nature, or are we trying to explain patterns in nature via hamiltonians? This term just feels extremely powerful & simultaneously malleable, so it's interesting *remember again it's been like 24 hours since encountering the term

I've seen many clips of this (years ago), and am very glad to have the full thing to view! Thanks!
