Topics

The GEOMETOR Fundamentals Codex synthesizes 55 foundational topics (\(\text{F.1}\) through \(\text{F.55}\)) across 353 manuscript folios and 59 computational worksheets compiled by seelig (SeeligNotebooks, SeeligSpreadsheets).

Each topic is organized as a 3-Track Book Codex:

  • Track 1 — Synthesis: Formal enunciation, interactive Explorer SVG construction, constructive signature (given / steps), symbolic SymPy derivations on the canonical \((a, b, c) = (5, 6, 7)\) triangle, OpenDocument spreadsheet formulas, and Graphviz dependency DAG.

  • Track 2 — Folios: High-resolution archival scans (0001.jpg–0353.jpg) paired with diplomatic mathematical transcriptions and editorial commentary.

  • Track 3 — Code: Standalone executable Python script (model.py) using geometor.model and sympy.

F.15 Cyclic Quadrilateral

A cyclic quadrilateral WXYZ whose interior angles form the arithmetic progression theta, 2*theta, 3*theta, 4*theta has theta = 36 degrees (W = 36, X = 72, Y = 144, Z = 108) and golden-ratio diagonals |XZ| = 2 sin(36) = sqrt(3 - phi) and |WY| = 2 sin(72) = phi*sqrt(3 - phi) in the unit circle; by contrast, no non-trivial cyclic quadrilateral can have interior angles in geometric progression theta, k*theta, k^2*theta, k^3*theta.

F.49 Vesica Piscis and Acute-Obtuse Probability

When segment AB of length c is the longest side of triangle ABC, vertex C lies inside the vesica piscis of area c^2 (4 pi - 3 sqrt(3))/6; the semicircle of diameter AB partitions each quadrant of area c^2 (4 pi - 3 sqrt(3))/24 into an obtuse region (O) = c^2 pi / 16 and an acute region (A) = c^2 (5 pi - 6 sqrt(3))/48, giving an exact obtuse-to-acute probability ratio (O)/(A) = 3 pi / (5 pi - 6 sqrt(3)) approx 1.773.

F.50 Altitudes, Mitchell’s Reciprocal Heron Formula, and the Symphonic Theorem

Given the three altitudes h_A, h_B, h_C of triangle ABC with reciprocal semiperimeter H = (h_A^{-1} + h_B^{-1} + h_C^{-1})/2, Mitchell’s reciprocal Heron formula states K^{-1} = 4 sqrt(H (H - h_A^{-1})(H - h_B^{-1})(H - h_C^{-1})), and a triangle is right-angled at C if and only if h_A^{-2} + h_B^{-2} = h_C^{-2} (the Symphonic Theorem).
