you know, the conjugate wave coming back, you know, if you do something like a garden hose that's affixed to the wall, the wall, it'll hit the wall and come back or something.
So what Terrence is talking about
And you could do this where we could drop like let's say six stones in precise places in water and then using super slow-mo watch what happens as these waves in precisely placed places run into each other.
Because really what physics is is waves in collisions.
So then what Terrence does is he has in Blender some means of bringing up.
platonic solids that are not the usual.
So I bought some of these platonic solids from Amazon and you see that they're all extremely Cartesian.
They're made up of flat faces, our best attempt to do flat faces.
Terrence says, I don't think that that has to be the case.
If you generate these things from this pattern, and he focuses on the tetrahedron and an octahedral structure.
Okay, so what that is is a curve linear structure.
with spherical, and it's not actually hyperbolic.
Those are going to be positive curvature, not negative curvature.
This is negative curvature.
No, that's going to be positive curvature.
Yeah.
I think it's positive curvature because those are going to be parts of spheres.
Yes, but negative curvature would be more like a Pringles chip where the principal axis of curvature went in different directions.
So I think it's not negative curvature.
No, what you mean by negative space, negative curvature and negative space are different concepts.
