This was an early exercise with p5. It stops drawing after 1000 frames. Refresh the browser to see it redraw.

This was something we played around with at Cherry Arbor Design, and used it to create wall art, earrings, and when they were still a thing, fidget spinners.

A friend of mine's son is interested in coding, and we recently sat down to chat about it. Benjamin showed me some cool stuff he'd been doing with MakeCode. I hadn't known much about MakeCode, but the visual coding paradigm is a riff on Scratch.

Most things that we observe vary. We don't pay attention to things that don't change. When we measure those variables, we often use statistics like average or median to summarize. But those statistics don't describe the variability of the distribution. Standard deviation works well if the distribution is a bell curve, aka normally distributed. But many things we observe are not normally distributed. Yet we want a concise summary. One way to summarize is using quantiles, which involves dividing our observations into more-or-less equal size buckets of non-overlapping ranges of values. Common examples of quantiles are quartiles, with four buckets, and deciles, with ten buckets.

Many of the things we play around involve geometric symmetry. There are several types. This post is about an unusual symmetry. But first, a quick recap of some more well-known symmetries…
