GRAMMAR OF CHANGES

About: Large view of Grammar of Changes cover design

"This book deals with the changes of certain regular, geometrical figures, of lower and higher dimensions & polarity & discovers laws of the utmost generality. " It was published by CFR in 1944.
Today's mathematicians would probably call some of this regular lattices. The table of contents is reconstructed from the paragraph headings below.
More here also on the tablock .

An example figure is shown below (an H-2) pg 33 section 23

From the New Scientist comes a circular version of an 8th dimensional figure which was used to explain dimensions in an article on Garrett Lisi's An Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything . The animation in the article is fascinating from the New Scientist article as well. And, while I have a chance I might as well log a book I have called Free Lattices by Ralph Freese & others. He is a professor of math in Hawaii who also surfs. I bring this up because the pictures & the theory touch on the math in Grammar of Changes. Lisi calls his an E8 with 248 points. CFR would have made his 8th dimensional figure with 256 points.

For comparison i put the picture of the E8 symmetry below. To actually study this comparison one would need to put both algorithms of generation side by side.
