ROSE

------------



A curve which has the shape of a petal flower. Curve was named

'Rhodonea' by the Italian mathematician Guido Grandi, between 1723 and 1728 because it resembles a rose.



The polar equation of the rose is":



r = Alfa * sin * (n * Theta) [spin]

r = Alfa * cos * (n * Theta) [anti-spin]



If N is odd, the rose is N-petalled. If N is even, the rose is N-petalled.

If N is irrational, then there are an infinite number of petals.



N = 2 - Full anti-spin flower.

N = 3 Trifolium(Paquerette de mélibée)

N = 1/2 Half flower.

N = 1/3 Lock-out.

N = 1/5 Snake



Quote:



"If is N = R/S a rational number, then the curve closes at a polar angle

of Theta = PI * S * P ,where P = 1 if R * S is odd and P = 2, if R*S is

even."



Did anyone understand tha last?



PEDAL CURVE

-------------------------



I found that there are flowers divaded into families depending on

origin of the flower, the center.



Trammel(Astroid base) - Full 4 anti-spin flower, with center.

Trimmel(Deltoid base) - Full 3 anti-spin flower, with center.

Hyperbola(Ellipse base) - Circle, with focus(!).

Hypocycloid(Epicycliod base) - Rose(!).

Point(Line base) - Point.

NEGATIVE PEDAL CURVE

-----------------------------------------



I found, that there is relation between trammel and four fioled

anti-spin. That Trammel is it's, negative pair(!).



That circle negative is elliypse or hyperbola.

It is the ellypse.

I used to play with circular graphs on my graphing calculator. You get interesting things in parametrics.

t=sin c x
t=cos c' y

gives interesting patterns when you've got differing rations of c and c'.

I think. If I remembered it correctly. Maybe they were both sin.

Interesting Richee that you've got it in 'polar' form.

With r changing with theta you're essentially changing the length of the string dependant on the angle. Would be tricky but interesting to do in reality.

Unless... you wrapped the strings around each other in some kind of tangled hyper loop. biggrin

You'd get trails like n=1/5 for sure.

You're on to something Richee. Fantastic Geekery. hug

very good point i think... i mean i like all this maths, but i dont quite see how it can help my poi spinning. i mean there are a two things you can reaistically vary and control when your doing poi, the velocity of your hand and the velocity of the poi head (often changing one affects the other) and changing either affects the path of the poi head.... basically its all boils down to spirographs
and here which makes patterns that are more relevant to poi... i think, or maybe im missing something..

oli - you are indeed missing something there...



that page you posted only includes hypotrochoid variants (richee's first set of patterns or 'antispin patterns' as we like to call them).

many of the ones on the page you posted are not possible with poi - the ones without any petals require the poi to be longer than the arm (and probably require them to be solid as well).



the bit that's missing is the fact that there are also epitrichoid variants (richee's rose patterns or 'normal spin'/same-same flowers/lockouts): https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Epitrochoid.html



richee has picked out here those (closed) trochoid patterns that apply specifically to poi patterns.





as an aside, i'll be posting something special here next week that i've waiting for for a while... biggrin ubblove biggrin

okay yep, ive thought about it a bit more and i can accept that the patterns richee has posted you probably can do with poi in a reasonable manner, i wasnt convinced before. dose that mean you can get a spirograph to produce richees patterns, specifically the ones with n = 1/5, 2/5 etc...? p.s. i dont see the problem (aside from personal ones) with poi longer than arms...

spirographs are a circle rolling around the *inside* of a larger circle - antispin - these are hypotrochoids and are the n>1 patterns that richee posted: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Hypotrochoid.html



the n<1 trochoids are made by rolling a circle around the *outside* of another circle - normal spin - these are epitrochoids:

https://mathworld.wolfram.com/Epitrochoid.html



so your answer is, if you have a spirographs with cogs on the outside of the big circle, you can make epitrochoid patterns with it smile



as for the 'poi longer than arms' thing, i got that a bit wrong redface

it only determines the size of the petals really.

of the patterns you posted, to spin the ones without petals would require a solid poi (or a club).



having poi that are longer than your arms does make lockout flowers hard to do though cos the poi head will hit the floor when your arm points straight down.

unless you are standing on a pole of course smile

right ive thought of something else... i think why i got confused... on a spirograph the rate at which the circle rolls around the other other circle is constant (??), but in order to create some of the patterns richee posted it would have to change... obviusoly this is totally possible with your arms as its not a pice of clock work luckily. but ive got a question... another.. oops, but id like a function that describes the rate that the circle rolls around the other circle... i might try and work it out later or look it up? depends how hard im feeling ubbloco

I'm confused by this part in particular:

[Quote]If N is odd, the rose is N -petalled. If N is even,

the rose is N -petalled. [/Quote]



was that a mistake? what should it have been?

and with the first Rose variant (n=1), is this what you meant Oli where you would have to move the origin of the circle to create that shape? (isolating first upwards then down only on one side yes?)



interesting... but I'm way out of my depth here! keep it up though lads! biggrin

Oh don't pull your Yodadrew and be all vague until I get frustrated and give up on what you're actually trying to say. tongue

I'll try to understand once:

Glass: "NYC, r is not the total length of the string but the effective length of the string at any given moment. For example, in a hyperloop, r would be the distance from where the strings cross to the center of mass of the poi."

NYC: "Yeah, I know that, that's what I was calling 'string length'..."

Glass: "But it's not the total string length"

NYC: "I know. Just the length of the string from the center of it's curve to the poi. Got it. Like if you're swinging poi and the string goes from the poi, through your hands and down your pants (see my lightbulb poi) you obviously wouldn't count the length of the wire down my pants."

Glass: "Nor would you count the portion of the string from a hyperloop nexus to your hands"

NYC: "Yes, I get it"

Glass: "ShutupIhateyoudie"

NYC: "MCP, give Glass back the keyboard."

MCP: "OK. But I stillhateyoudie."

Meg, who's heidi, is she your new bird?

r= f( upper arm length and upper arm angle,
forearm length and forearm angle,
hand length and hand angle,
string length and instantaneous string angle)

Include a sprinkling of sin or cos to construct complete the function
and if you wish boundaries on the limits of angles constrained by realistic biological constraints

If you want to complicate things you should also include a term for the displacement of the shoulder from the origin. but for the sake of simplicity I'm taking a shoulderocentric view of the poi spinning universe.)

See, this is what I'm talking about.

Do you really think that I don't understand that the center of rotation for "giant" is the shoulder and a traditional isolation is the center of the string?

If the Coleman's mom is holding poi and I grab her by the ankle and swing her around in big circles than r=(distance from center of rotation of shoulder to hand) + (distance of coleman's mom's ankle to poi string) + (distance of string from finger to poihead)

Now yell at me that the string (and Cole's mom) has mass and the center of mass wouldn't be at the poi head would it?

Plus, you knuckeheads aren't taking gravity into account so it wouldn't be circular would it?

You wouldn't get very far if you swung her round by her feet.

I think thats an impossible example, you should try another one, one thats more realistic.



What you meant to say was:

"With r changing with theta you're essentially changing" THE DISTANCE OF THE POI HEAD FROM THE SHOULDER "Dependant on the angle."



or in other words we're not spinning a basic circular path (where r= constant)



In first 2 equations at top, Alpha is the length of arm plus length of poi,as it happens in those 2 equations, the poi length can be taken as alpha/2.



NYC, you in detention for trying to poi with one of the other bored members mothers, write out 100 times:

r is not a constant, and it is not the poi length.

1) You're totally right that it would be easy to change R by incorporating body parts into the equation. That's why you get such cool trails when you switch from isolated to giant and back. There are many ways of changing r other than by changing the string length.

I was initially defining r as the string length. Glass and Cole were correct in suggesting that that definition was limited. I will now redefine my definition to that. That's not backpetalling. It's me not understanding something.

2) My indignancy comes from my complete disagreement with some folks' educational philosophy. This is an old issue.

Everyone has the right not to teach someone something. If I don't understand something, I have complete respect for someone saying "I don't care" or "I don't want to teach you" or "IHateYouDie." What I have always had issue with is the philosophy of purposely frustrating and embarasing someone under the GUISE of teaching them.

This obviously goes way outside the realm of poi and way outside the realm of this conversation.

This also becomes difficult for you to understand Cole since you are the most generous and patient poi teacher that I've ever had. [A telling statistic considering it's only been an hour in Bam's backyard and three workshops.]

All anybody needed to say was "Hey NYC, you're forgetting the distance from the center of the circle to the outside which could be from the elbow, wrist, shoulder, or any other place." Which is a concept you all KNOW I already understand.

Rather than this "Think again" "You're wrong but I'm not going to tell you why" "Go off and think about it" "Haa haa, let's embarass him because he's defining r incorrectly but nobody tell him the right definition because it's more fun to do it this way."

Obviously I don't really care about being embarrased (or I wouldn't be here on HoP) but any demeaning and counter productive educational philosophy that I take offense to. Again, not solely related to this thread or this topic or poi or HoP or Cole's mom.

You're right. And since the book was written in 1880 that means she's well over 120 years old. Which essentially makes you a necrophilliac.

as a teacher i reckon you are probably quite good at spotting the 'gaps' in someone's knowledge.
others are not so good at this shrug

having said that, i thought that drew's statement that 'r is not string length' combined with my 'clues' would have been enough to highlight to you your erroneous definition of r without the need for someone to say 'r includes your arm and so can be changed by bending your arm at the elbow or wrist or by adding isolation or tangles into the pattern'.

when you then get all shirty and say stuff like: "Do you really think that I don't understand that the center of rotation for "giant" is the shoulder and a traditional isolation is the center of the string?", it seems that you aren't even bothering to see where the difference in understandiong lies and instead you just want us to know what you're thinking and tell you how its different to what we're thinking... shrug

coupled that with the fact that we know you already know the answer ("a concept you all KNOW I already understand."), it gets tricky to see exactly how simply we need to spell it out for you whilst not being condescending.

cole. x



I'd never accuse anybody trying to teach me something of being condescending. That was not my accusation.

I believe that y'all knew exactly where my lack of understanding was. I also think that on the internet giving clues can be really frustrating and (more importantly) not educational.

I always thing that being 'purposely vague' can be extremely frustrating and harmful in education. Of course, when learning CONCEPTS you don't always want to just hand someone all the answers BUT I think that some have tendancies to frustrate me when I'm confused by being "purposely vague" which I think is different than helpful.

If it takes more time and effort to be purposely vague by giving clues and such than by just spelling out the answer then I don't see the point.

Unless it's to mess with me, in which case it's funny. But I don't think that was the case.

Also throw in 3 biases:
1) I'm a teacher who constantly battles with the best and worst ways to educate.
2) My entire poi persona in New York has been teaching others for nothing in return. Nobody out here has ever taught me much of anything, making it extremely frustrating it when I'm out there and ask what I'm doing wrong with my btb weave and folks said stuff like "think about circles" or "you need to get stoned" rather than the real answer which was "move your right arm further left".
3) My lack of ability to get help and inspiration pretty much made me give up poi.

All of which are 100% my fault/responsibility but are my biases.

Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Well, function of flower was written to give a theoretical

aproach when thinking about flower. It prooves, that spin

and anti-spin have diffrent timing, but not in case of the

rhythm, but the initial position.



Than 'goofy' flower, can looks like sinus and cosinus time

line, where the point of the curve represent actual di-

stance form 'center'.



It can be shown that snake is a curve with N = 1/5,

I think one could differe if the move, moves the

whole sinus curve or only amplify.

Thank you Coleman, Glass, NYC to bright light the whole

theory with interesting notes.
