A
nut (or
ball)
:== an
endpoint of a
loopstring➿.
String only have two (
2)
endpoints, hence, only
two nuts.
Each
nut is either a
start or
stop identifier (
leaf).
*** The two nuts of Q♯🎶
are minor scale
and major scale
, connected by stews
. As an arbitrary
ordered pair [
egg,
epp], they are referred to as
abscissa (
toonlight) and
ordinate (
funshine).
/// Balls are pseudo-theoretical (abstract) objects
that only exist as placement functions
. There is no 'ball', so-to-speak, just a representation of an endpoint
(dot). However, in gameplay
, a ball can be a toy (eg. ctf flag🏁, see zero-bubble
). Likewise, macroeconomically, a ball would be lyric (triangulated data point
). Also, in energy🔋 speak, nuts are representative of electrodes [anion (-) and cation (+)].
Mathematically, it's
called a '
ball' (and sometimes 'dot') because as the
string folds upon itself, the
endpoints (a
metric space) coordinate ("connecting the dots") into a
loop➰, and the overall structure usually assumes a shape that is similar to some ovoid with
boundary (cf. compact blob) in
stereo. (see
