TTT is an aesthetic thing
Matt,
Your feedback of my TTT paper is appreciated. I'm always glad to have a "math smart" person give it gander. Forgive me as I realize it is a poorly done paper full of too much extranious opnion.. what can I say, I'm an artist/musician and my approach to math is aesthetic. I never claimed to be a mathematician or even "good" at math for that matter, fact is, I pretty well suck at math.
end of apology...
I didn't set out in the TTT to solve a problem. Mathematicians do that, I am not one of them. I found a ratio in the outer geometry of the Pyramid ie. (the e proportion). And there was no denying that it was there. I thought it was interesting. I looked at the Pi and Phi proportions and had long been awed by their coincidental occurrence in the Pyramid. Yes, I do know that coincedence is a reality. When I started playing with the angles I began substituting terms and ended up with an equation that was true. How could it be not true? My method was elementary and I was only dealing with identities and those identities led to an overall identity as opposed to a solution to a problem.
In the end I was looking at an equation with three unique angles embedded in it such that the equation was equal to "1". If the three angles in the equation could be anything else than what they are for the thing to equal "1" then I'd be interested to know what they would be.
That's all it is, just a curious correlation of three independent right triangles living together in a simple equation. But (and this is the kicker) three right triangles that are very nearly congruent.. only ever so slightly different in shape.. and that is aesthetic if nothing else.
