Theodorus spiral  is intimately connectrd to  n- th rank space.

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral_of_Theodorus

By projecting orthogonally or vertically onto an adjacdnt line segment this spider web spiral can be built up. . Each projection is onto an independent line segment in space , and thus does not need to be constrained to the plane in which it starts.

In this regard we can see that if the cross product constraint is dropped or weakened we can develop n-th rank systems that retain an orthogonal link without insisting on mutual orthogonality..

When thinking about rohttp://youtu.be/0_XoZc-A1HUtation based on projection the spiral forms the back bone of the explanation.
Norman on Eulers <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/0&rel=1&fs=1&hd=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/0&rel=1&fs=1&hd=1</a>

Here Morman introduces an axis of rotation. And yet the majority of the development is regarding rotation about a point in the plane. This particular development uses reflection, but as indicated by Theodorus spiral we could develop the notion by projection. The constraint is backward in the sense that the projection is orthogonal or vertical to the projecting line segment . In Euclidean constructions we are taught how to drop( Senkrecht) a vertical from a point onto a given line segment or how to construct a vertical at a given poit on a line segment. Both these can be viewed as projections and therefore encoded by the colliding product for 2 line segments .

Now because hermanns fundamental system is a coupled contiguous one( continuous) then the colliding product is " framed" in this system. There is thus a line segment intersection point for any 2 independent line segments within the system so that the projection can be seen as a right angled triangle.

Here Norman deals with the issue of composing reflections by aligning one of the lines of reflection, the same composition cannot be used for a projection. To obtain a common point of rotation for a projective composition we first have to obtain a common point of intersection for all the line segments involved. This may require a translation by a parallel projection, thus making the general rotation more complex.

For the sphere however, we can use the inbuilt propert that all line segments originate from some centre which is the point of rotation. This is where Theodorus spiral may be applied. The solution is specific to the conic section curves and surfaces.

Arbitrary rotations in space are not yet discussed.

How this relates to the mixed or "averaged" product is  by process. 2 proceesses are involved: the plane of the final rotation given by the out stepping product; and the projection within that plane constituting the Ritation given by the colliding product. That there is such a resultant plane is precisely what Euler and Norman are demonstrating here. Hermanns mixed product draws on this conclusion from the beginning. Herman does not prove that there is such a plane and a single rotation in that plane in this paper, and neither does Hamilton in his quaternion papers. The proof is therefore  down to Euler.

Euler may well have used normals to great circles to establish the theorem,but normals are not required to describe a general rotation about a point in space if you have this final plane of the resultant rotation. Hermanns method concentrates on delivering that final resultant plane as a parallelogram. Thus his method and Hamiltons avoid the intermediary motions and go straight for the final solution.

Gauss in his work on surfaces relied heavily on Normals as radial extensions from a spheres centre. This made sense to him Astrologically and most engineers and mathematicians are embedded in that thought pattern, but in fact Euler demonstrated that all complex rotations in space can be summed to a single rotation. This single rotation does not describe the behaviour of the rotation, just the final position.

How we model rotational behaviour then is a different question, and requires dynamic iterative calculus, or fractal equations!

Norman calls the roles of the x,y,z axes  "distinguished" but Hermann calls them elementals. The fact that we choose a mutually orthogonal set is of little consequence for referencing all and any other line segments, but it fors give us the anomalous cross product. To extend into higher ranks we have to loosen the grip of this Anomally.

Because hermanns fundamental systems are based on elements that conform rigidly to constraints and conditions and are coupled the fundamental planar form is the parallelogram. This form enables all the desired properties of 3d space and continues on into the nth-rank spaces. It is therefore distinguishable in systems of equations , renamed nth- grade systems by Hermann.

This form however is only elemental in the 3rd rank, because for Hermann the elements of a space are of the rank below. Thus for a 0 th- rank system we would expect that to be points. In fact for Hermann the fundamental geometrical element is the line segment with its dual point-line segment nature, thus the 0th-rank is occupied by tally marks. These form a calculative axis by which all elements can be fractally dismembered or divided into Metrons/ monads.

Thus 1 is a tally mark, and only has extension when applied to a first rank system. Tally marks are thus wholly formal, and "out" of any system of geometry that Hermann can devise. We as observers therefore can apply them anywhere at will, but once attached to an extensive magnitude they must remain fixed for the duration of the exposition. By attaching them to the first rank system we obtain the first of many types of Arithmoi or Zahlengröße.

These Arithmoi are the elementals of the next rank system. Thus a parallelepiped(Spath) is a fundamental element of a 4th ranks system. Rotations and other transformations are essentially mappings by transforms from one oriented, projected or curvilinear parallelepiped to another . Transformation of basis is therefore a fundamental method of translating, rotating, reflecting and projecting spatial objects.

The important part here is the international influence of India in the 1800's . Euler was very influenced by Indian Mathematics brought to the ports where his father carried on trade as a Merchant of means.

Therefore Hegel had access to eastern and Indian knowledge.

Finally Hermann worked assiduously on the Proto Indo European languages.

The Indian influence , from Arabian imperial wisdom literature, to mathematical inclusion of Indian decimal systems , to the impact on the British Royalty of the time, the Indian influence is important and inescapable. The Upanishads and the Vedas informed Hegels Philosophy.

The general Doctrine of Thought Patterns( Ausdehnungslehre 1844)

§1. We everyway stand the rank arrays, those from the truths, under the general doctrine of thought patterns, which arrays situate themselves on top of like cognisance over all branches of the mathematic , and therehere  only the general labels of the Like quality and the Differing quality, of  the Binding and the Loosing (Separating /Sundering) are pre set out ( prior to anything else)

Therehere it must, the general doctrine of the Thought Patterns, go on ahead into all speciality branches of the mathematic, for-there there  that common branch is still not as such to hand how we require of it for our expertise
and we  still are not  permitting it to travel over, without everyway wiggling to us in unutilised endlessly running   qualities ,  so nothing remains left over  to us , as the same things here are thus far developing .

 In order to firmly set the label for the Like Quality and the Differing Quality It is here initially. There the Like entity necessarily steps here out , also therewith is already the dual quality  , and the Differing entity also as like Entity must appear, only in Differing view from afar;
 thus it appears necessary by considering over-layering tracking, to place on top( of each other) differing relationships of Like quality and Differing quality ;

Thus would  be able to  become declared ,( to the considering game),  by considering everyway equating ( likening) of two bounded lines:
 the Like quality of
the Direction
or the Length,
or the Direction And the Length,
or the direction and the laid Position ,
and so further ;
and by considering other things to everyway  equateable constrained Things   other relationships of Like quality would again come to step henceforward.

Therefore that already these relationships become other relationships , each according to the Attributed quality of the "to everyway equateable" constrained Things, delivering the demonstrable   proof for  there , that these relationships are not next of kin related to the label of the Like quality itself, rather by the contents ( lists) , onto which the same label of the Like quality becomes applied,

In Practice from 2 "equal length" line segments, (to the by considering game), we cannot say that they compared besides themselves are equal, rather only , that their length  be equal, and this length then stands plainly also in the complete relationship of the Like quality.

Thuswith  we have to the label of the Like quality its simple quality returned,

and we can by the same quality therein assign that   "the  entity” is like:-
that one from which one can continuously the same entity declare,   is "like";
or the general one, what in each common judgement themselves compared side by side  can be substituted,  is "like"

How by the same quality herein immediate nearby lies declared:
that even if 2 thought patterns are like a third, they Also themselves are like one another ,
and that the   entity which out of the Like entity  was reifying  on this same cognisance ,  once again is " like",
by the same quality lies in the daylight !

Commentary
I will bring some of my referencing labels in line with Hermann who now uses the § sign to denote paragraphs in the Thought Patterns Doctrine Proper. So I will redact my earlier referencing as and when.

Hermann here states that the Vorrede and the Einleitung are not sufficient to wring every last drop of generalisation out of the Rank arrays before going on into the Specialties. So this general doctrine of the thought patterns( what I called the Overview previously without checking) will do precisely that as best it might.

It is to be noticed that Hermann invokes the introductory aitema or demands/ requirements to do the Course Euclid sets out, and also the Ennoia or common judgements utilised in comparisons Euclid sets out. It was and is a very misleading terminology to call these initial statements axioms. To do so requires a great befuddlement of mind, as such it was when the Arabic translators attempted to translate this document in the light of Aristotles framework.

Aristotles " Logic" is distinct from Pythagorean logic, and Hegelian logic is different again. Studying the Pythgorean philosophy to which the Stoikeia were but introductory lessons, prepared the student to enter the senior discussions is courses and researches of the Pythagoren school . Studying Hermann will take us down a different route, one propounded by Hegel.

The second in Normans series on Axiomatics

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/ncIgoIBLPqQ&rel=1&fs=1&hd=1" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/ncIgoIBLPqQ&rel=1&fs=1&hd=1</a>

Just beware the assumption that Euclid used the concept of Axiom! The Greek language does not sustain such a notion and the nearest Greek concept is that of axle or axis, both referring to the central rotating region of a disc..

The history of Axiomatics seems to start in Kant, and represents a powerful redaction of earlier notions, including the muddled thinking of some Islamic scholars who mistook Euclids Stoikeia as a version of Aristotelian logic, being great admirers of Aristotles works..

They seemed not to differentiate between the Pythagoreans and the Platonists, and so did not realise that Euclid was a Pythagorean Mathematikos supporting Plato's promotion of Pythagoreanism, and actually achieving the recognised status of Mathematikos among the Pythagorean scholars who were still based in monasteries( Monas - fundamental Pythgorean ideal) in southen Italy and Mediterranean Aftica.

Commentary

Here chadafrican explains the position Hermann has brought us to by the. foreword and the Induction. We reframe the development of Mathematics so called from the label or Notion of the doctrine of thought patterns. And we do so from the Pre motivated and Pre established notions or as I have translated the word Labels, which have a direct " mathematical" pedigree. Thus the a priori knowledge which we call intuition in mathematics has in fact been instilled in us by the experiences and discussions  Hermann has guided us through up to this point.

The fact that Hegel makes this " movement" clear and calls it dialectic, reveals how the mystification of skills and abilities has occurred through ignorance of this or these great circle links, these great tautologies. Those first entering upon a course of study do not know these connections, and often leave off studying before realising the full spiralling circularity. However those who are the scholars of the study often also are ignorant, because they eschew that is deny the philosophy of a subject.

Here then Hermann reframed mathematics from this grnerally aspect, and because it is circular has to touch bases with Euclid and the Pythagorean philosophers who have already established this tautological base in their philosophy and symbolised it by the Sphere. However , naively, Hermann hoped to restore and advance upon the work of these philosophers because he believed the French had brought forth a New and advanced rank array methodology . In so doing he acknowledges that the Pythagoreans had developed the first rank arrays, the Arithmoi, but now humans had advanced to the dual interlinked rank arrays, and that is where the new direction lay, requiring new Mathematicans.

Thus was required a new Stoikeia a new introductory course to the philosophy of the Hegelians . This is what he is attempting to do, one man , like Euclid setting out the foundation for a New doctrine of thought forms or thought Patterns.

I feel I must reiterate: we have moved beyond the dual rank array of LaPlace and particularly LaGrange , although you would hardly know that from mathematicians. Computer scientists use multiple rank arrays to encapsulate reality. Quantum mechanics uses multiple  probabilistic rank arrays to portray their data set findings and models, but perhaps the most accessible example is the no humble video camera which is installed in every cheap phone! Each video frame in each short video is a rank array that encodes empirical data sets, the Codec enables those rank arrays to be pushed to and from input/ output media which we can see as a moving display.

The fact that we do not make these connections is the real shame. It allows the majority of us to be hoodwinked by the few.

The humble fractal generator is every bit as capable and tooled up for basic research as any Cray supercomputer, it just does it more slowly! Many of the artistic rendering members are achieving are of direct empirical relevance to our understanding of how our models of reality work.

Commentary

While it is not necessary to fully everyway stand Hegel to apprehend Hermann, it helps in translating hermanns dialectical presentation to have some experience of Hegels style and dialectic.

Phenomenology of Geist was the first of only 2 books he personally wrote and edited and published, all the others are constructed by his students after his death in 1831. Here Sadler reaches the concluding § in the introduction!  The rest of the book still lies yet ahead.

The general Doctrine of the Thought Pattern (Ausdehnungslehre 1844)

§2 the second comparative statement, which we in view have pulled  to here, is of the entity of the every way knotting and sundering( binding and loosing)
Even If two magnitudes or thought patterns( which Name we prior pulled  as the general one. See Induction .3) under themselves are everyway knotted, thusly they brand them: 
limbs of the everyway knotting( knitting), 
the thought pattern, which through the knitting together of both comes to be presented, 
the out giving result of the knitting together.

Should both Limbs become distinguished, thusly we name  the one the fore limb( more forward one)  and the other the hind limb( the more afar one )

As the general sign of the knitting together we choose the sign "^"
Let now a, b be the limbs of the same, and indeed  a the fore limb and  b the hind limb, thusly we signify the out giving result of the knitting together with  (a^ b);

In which the brackets here should express: that the knitting together no more in separation of  their limbs should be manifested, rather as a monad ( unit) of labels.

The out given result of the knitting together can once again with other thought patterns be everyway  knotted, and thusly one reaches to a knitting together of more limbs  which therefore  at the immediately nearby  always appears as a knitting together of each 2 .

In order to make way for the ease of practice we enslave to ourselves  the usual "shortening off" bracket assigning, in which we specifically the together related  signs of a bracket  let go away, even if  the "of the discussed" opening sign[(]  either aside the beginning of the whole expression stands, or after an other opening  sign would  be following; to the by considering game,  in place of ((a^b)^c) we write  a^b^c

Commentary §2

The comparative statement of binding and loosing, in comparison with Like and Differing  is much stronger than I first appreciated. The idea of knotting gave way to knitting together, by typo really but then I realised how more appropriate it was.

These bonds knit the forelimb and the hind limb into a continuous unit.

Moreover this knitting is done sequentially in pairs, and consequently the fore limb is always written first before the hind limb. Changing the order of writing makes the sign change from one to the other. This sign or symbol or label is not apparent in that it is not called a sign, but it is a label and a symbol. Later a sign will be introduced which will be specifically associated with negative and positive signs. By then we may forget that every label is a symbol or sign given a designated role., and some labels change their designated role when they change their spatial position. Thus sign change is more general thn just  positive or negative, it indicates a change in role due to a change in Phil position or orientation.

As it stands we can only bind or knit 2 things together at a time right now, but this will change.

Commentary on §§1-2

Because I am reading ahead I gain insights about the purpose of the earlier paragraphs, which is useful when translating.

It is now apparent that the first paragraph on Like and Differring entities is about 4 identified ways of declaring 2 thought patterns like. Thus it is about equality, duality, congruency and identicallity , and by implication any other mode of expressing like entities. Moreover it is about when and how we declare entities to be like, and thereby the judgement we use to make such a declaration.

In a very real sense most of us have been trained to identify like entities, few have been trained to use their judgment to declare likeness or equality as a finding, especially so for mathematicins who have like entities given to them on a plate!

Comparing , contrasting and then concluding based on the results of those 2 prior processes  is essentially the 3 part structure or tool Hegel uses in his presentation. The conclusion allows a judgment to be expressed, and often recommendations for improvements . The conclusion can be as short or as long as the author wishes to expand on his or her insights. Hegel steps back to view the 3 part structure as essentially a historical or developmental process in history he called the Dialectic.

It is a clear movement to and fro between greater vision from obscurity and sometimes from grand apprehension to diminished comprehension of a new contingency, and then onwards, at each stag, in the moment,  being unaware of the necessities of the resolution that then emerges as a glimmer or a shower of sparks!

Marx and others felt that not only was this process historically inevitable, but that also acting in accord or mimicry of it was justifiable as invoking the inevitable solution/ resolution. The end thus justifying the means.

However if Hermann is taken as a careful student of Hegel we cannot justify that kind of behaviour. Rather what Hermann shows is that in analysing the current position in the dialectical process we may see more clearly where we were imperfect and hopefully synthesise a more perfect apprehension.

Thus by being rigorously analytical in the comparisons and contrasts of the concepts of like and differing we may better understand the use of the "=" label or sign, and not just in arithmetic or mathematic, but more widely and dynamically.

Certain conventions have to be set. But by setting them as simply and carefully as possible Hermann hopes to securely found the doctrine of thought patterns.

Thus he now moves onto binding and loosing . The reference here is the keys of Peter . "What is bound in heaven is bound here on earth and what is loosed here on earth is loosed also in heaven". By this he gives a certain gravitas to the rules he is "out giving" or evoking here. The evoked result or out giving result/ response, or even the responsive result are essential notions behind this knitting process..

Hermann here means to deal with fundamentally the notions of commutativity and associativity. Because we are introduced to these concepts in the arithmetical arts we do not apprehend where they derive from or what they ultimately mean, over the next few paragraphs Hermann will give concording demonstrations of these notions and their implications and in fact how knitting and unravelling , binding and loosing encode addition and subtraction at a fundamental level , but also multiplication and division at a barely less fundamental process level.

The implications for commutativity and associativity are however remarkably different for both levels of process.

After years of consideration I have concluded that it is more complete to start with a whole and then divide it. Thus division also known as subtraction at a more fundamental process level is narratively prior to multiplication and thus addition.

Thus I start with Analysis or repeated( ana) cutting( lysis) of the whole  eventually followed by Synthesis or binding( syn) creation( thesis from Zeus-made or brought about by Light/ Lightning). In this way addition and multiplication has a purpose: to reveal the whole, while division and subtraction have their purpose: to uncover the structure of the whole.

These re patently Pythgorean ideas but belong here in this kind of fundamental discussion of how we came to develop the qualification Mathematikos into the subject of. Mathematics.

Is Hermann saying this is the only synthesis possible? On the contrary, he is showing how carefully we can construct the fundamental skill sets required for an evoked resultant expertise. But it does not mean we can just choose whatever we like whenever we feel like it! The rigour and the consistency demanded for serious consideration and acceptance become the more onerous the more fanciful or complex the fundamental notions that are proposed! By always choosing the simplest notion Hermann not only lessens the burden of proof on himself, but also recommends its acceptance to us as a " trivial" matter.

Later we are surprised how sturdy an edifice he then builds on such "trivialities"!

However, some have used this freedom, and the general ignorance of the process to introduce desired trivia that in fact masquerade as trivia. As Norman points out: it is not a trivial matter to apprehend to ourselves infinite powers! The trivial nature that I speak of is not the trivia of words : that is" let us assume infinite powers", or "let us be god "; which indeed are trivia bordering on frippery, and in another age would have brought death upon those proposing it! Rather the trivial thing is that of action: can I or cannot I bind 2 limbs together? Can I bind such a bound thing to a third? Can I repeat such a process until I run out of things to bind or become exhausted or die?

Such trivia as these one can readily assent to or deny . But it is by assenting to such as these that we extend our consciousness of our ability to construct certain evoked results , and to rely on calculation as meaning something in our constructive ability.

For this reaon\sqrt(-1) was at first repudiated and then by dialectical degrees bought into meaningful use after some proper adjustments in interpretation.

We shall see how Hermann sets out to do this at the beginning of his Grand enterprise.

Norman continues his development of a doctrine of thought patternS.

You can see that he has made use of Grassmanns method of analysis and synthesis, but chosen a different foundational basis: the rational numbers . I won't go into the construction of the rational numbers or rather their reification onto his cognisance of accounting, which you can find in the early part of his Maths foundations course. Suffice it to say that it is a different reification to the one Hermann lays out.

 development is of extensive or extending magnitudes, and thus his fundamental " object" is the line segment . Normans development is on discrete quanta. Later he piggy backs line segments onto this discrete foundation ( in the form of vectors )  but that is the exact reverse of Hermanns programme who in the second section of his Doctrine of Thought Patterns introduces the Elemental magnitudes.

What precisely these elemental magnitudes are I am not quite sure as yet, but they are quantitive rather than extensive , and very possibly are Intensive magnitudes. Any way Hermanns Lineal algebra is precisely based on lineal elements or line segments with extensible attributes  initially, and then extended in scope to these elemental magnitudes.

The important point for all is that the formal thought patterns are identical up to the point of application, at which point certain adjustments have to be made to accommodate the elements actually to hand.

The clear reason for the reversal is the necessity for computational algorithms , analogues that machines can utilise to compute results meaningful to us. The role of Geometry has not changed . It is still the real expertise based experiential continuum that Hermann restored from the axiomatic nightmare others had placed it in.

The general Doctrine of the Thought Pattern (Ausdehnungslehre 1844)

§3 Now the special artwork of the knitting together therethrough becomes evoked, what becomes firmly held by considering the same knitting  as "advantageous result" , that brands: under  which  circumstances and in which "extensive magnitude"  the beneficial result is becoming set as remaining  like itself.

The singular every way varyings , which one , without the individually knitted together thought patterns themseves changing , can take in advance ( of specific details) is the varying of the brackets and the un-ordering of the limbs.

Let us take to mind first the knitting together thusly  that by considering 3 limbs the setting of the brackets no real distinction, that brands: no distinction of the advantageous result founds,

Therefore  that   a^(b^c) =a^b^c  exists.

Thus follows immediately nearby that one also in every multiple limbed knitting together of this artform  without its advantageous result varying the brackets can be let go away.

Because each bracket encloses immediately nearby a two limbed expression every way satisfying the there over firmly set appointed ( meaning)  , and this expression must once again as limb be evryway connected with an  other thought pattern, in short it steps an every way connecting from three thought patterns henceforward, for which we set out ahead ( of any thing else) that one could  let go away the brackets without the advantageous result of their knitting together varying.

Therefore  there, one is permitted to set in  place of each thought pattern the like entity to it , the total beneficial result, through the letting go away of each bracket also is becoming not varied.

Therefore

Quote
" if the knitting together is from the artform , that by considering 3 limbs the brackets are permitted to let go away, so empowers  this by whim also to apply to many"

Or there, one is permitting in 2 expressions, which only through the setting of the brackets are distinguishing themselves continuous according to the plainly outwardly demonstrated Proposition the brackets let go away , thusly are both expressions also under  it alike, (there, they are alike to the same( brackets  losing) expression),
and one has the foregoing proposition in something of a more general thought pattern:

Quote
" if a knitting together is from the artform, that for three limbs the artform, how the brackets are becoming set, no real distinction founds, thus also empowers  the same conclusion to apply for whimsically many limbs"

Commentary

When Hermann advocates rigour by golly he means it! I did not expect to be deriving propositions about the use of brackets!

You may also note that he uses one of the statements or propositions of declaring entities like to derive a subtlety of the propositions.

Because of rigour he proceeds slower than expected, so I am not used to his slow dialectical build up and often second guess him incorrectly

The un-ordering that occurs at the loosing of the brackets is the unordering of the elements that in 2's pair to form a limb. The change in sequence order is for a later developmental stage,
