stoutfellowI'm groping my way towards an understanding of first-order classes of G-gons. I already have a pretty good picture of those for traditional polygons, and most of the techniques I developed there carry over. Some things need significant revamping, and I have to keep reminding myself of the changes. At one point I had to dredge up memories from a seminar I took more than forty years ago...
Patterns are emerging, complex enough to be entertaining but simple enough to be graspable. This is the best stage of research, when "Here Be Dragons" starts to be erased and rivers, mountains, and other geographic features start getting names - descriptive ones, not "P River" or "J Mountain" but "cocentroidal class", "doubly centroidal orthoclass", and the like, coded to remind the user of their meaning.
This is fun.
I still have to finish writing Taxonomy III.
