For those curious, hitomezashi [一目刺し; ひとめざし] is a Japanese sewing technique. "Hitome" means "one stitch" and "zashi" is a nominalized form of the verb "sasu," meaning to sew or stitch. It's a kind of sashiko [刺し子; さしこ], which, as Ayliean MacDonald states at 10:19, is a traditional form of decoratively mending clothes, and is also used in quilting.

the proof for two colorable is very simple. in order for the map to require three colors at least one vertex would need three lines connected. since lines only are drawn from two directions at each coordinate and every line segment is always preceded and followed by a space then at most and exactly two line segments can ever touch at any vertex. this means that no region will never touch more then one on its border.

I don’t think this is correct. The relevant transformation is to create a vertex for each connected region of space, and an edge between two vertices if those regions are adjacent. Also, your first statement is incorrect. There are plenty of 2-regular graphs that are not 2-colorable. Take any odd cycle for example.

4:03 On an infinite plane, every node in this construction always has exactly two edges (one vertical, one horizontal). Both edges part the local region around a node into two areas. Every string of edges must either be a closed loop, parting the plane into "inside" and "outside", or it must be an infinite string, parting the plane at infinity into "this" and "that". There may be multiple closed loops, multiple infinite strings, and even nested loops, all of which still have exactly two different colored sides of their string of edges. The necessity for three colors can only arises from nodes with an odd number of edges.

Simple proof that it's two-colourable: For every dot (where a stitch ends), it will always have exactly 2 stitches touching it. (Because they alternate over-under-over). Therefore, only 2 "areas" touch at each vertex. Since you never have more than 2 areas touching, you can always alternate from one colour to the other. ...I don't know how parseable that is.

@walterkipferl67292 жыл бұрын
I could parse it! Nonetheless, my try to make it more understandable: The only way for this to not be two-colorable, is to have a vertex, one of the points, where three faces or areas meet. With just up to two faces meeting at every corner (and obviously up to two faces meeting at every edge or line) you can always find a two-coloring. Now, every stitch follows the on-off-on-off pattern. So, at every vertex, there is either a line coming from the top or going out the bottom. Similarly, every vertex has either a line to the left or to the right. So, at every vertex, there are exactly two edges (except maybe the start and end, but those don‘t matter here.). Thus, the patterns are two-colorable. QED And this does generalize to the iso version. Three-colorable because at most (or rather exactly) three edges at every vertex.

There's a difference between orthographic vowels (what you see written) and phonological vowels (the sounds you make). Orthographically, 'y' and 'w' are semivowels, meaning that they represent both phonological vowels and consonants, depending on how they're used. Interestingly, there are some more consonants n that can behave as vowels in the right context, as they have a vowel-like quality to them. These are the liquid consonants, 'l' and 'r'. To give you an example, in many rhotic dialects of English (those that don't drop their 'r's), the 'r' in 'nurse' behaves as a vowel: if you sound it out, there's no 'u' there, and the 'u' is just there as an orthographic 'carrier' for the 'r'.

I just scribbled it out, and curiously enough, I got a mirrored version of the base pattern MacDonald gives with the isopaper version, althought the square version is, as you'd expect very different -- MacDonald's base case gives single-stitch squares, the on-off-on-off base case gives proceeding staircases.

I see plenty of people have tackled why the square stitchings are always 2-colorable, so I'll generalize the logic a bit to point out why the triangular stitchings are only 4(+)-colorable. Noting that each stitch has a gap both before and after it, on the (infinite) triangular plane we can see that each point must have 3 stitches connected to it, else the pattern would break along one of the axes. The stitches divide the plane into regions. These regions necessarily touch at least 3 points. Each point in isolation is 3-colorable, but since the regions necessarily share points the stitching overall needs at least 4 colors.

4:05 It's Always 2 colors because to have the Need of three colors there should be an intersection point with at least three edges. This never happens. For every point there are always exactly two edges. So you'll never need a third color.

@@presbarkeep Idk, i've only ever studied plain graphs xD I don't even know if this pattern would still be duable. But if it is i'm pretty sure you'll always would have to use only two colors, because to need a third you would have to have an intersection point with four edges, and in the pattern every node would have 3 and only 3 of them.

There are graphs which vertices all have degree at most 2 that are not 2-colorable. For instance, an odd cycle.

Yep, it's actually not that hard. Just think about how you remember phone numbers. And it's basically the equivalent of remembering 2-3 phone numbers.

In the colored pattern there is an 8 acting like an odd number in Pi. I drew it out to use as a cutting board pattern and it came out different twice. I thought I was doing something wrong the first time but got the same thing the second time. It’s surprising how much the pattern changes from one line being switched.

This would be great for designing a quilt pattern. I made one of a Hilbert curve (as the line between colors) using 3 types of 2 by 2 blocks and I could do something similar here using only 2 if I'm thinking it through right.

I belief the 50% maximum randomness can be explained by the entropy ( H(X)=-sum(p(x)*log(p(x))) ). Maybe if we'd take a closer look at the joined entropy between the axis, we could predict something about the pattern that emerges

I don't believe it needs any proving. It is pretty intuitive. If you flip a coin that's weighted to one side, it doesn't matter which side.

@@TuberTugger Right, so this is just about the Constructivist vs Intuitionist argument that plagued mathematicians of the 20th century. "Don't be a conspiratorial looney" vs "Don't get lost in the weeds". I'm a programmer, so I must be a conspiratorial looney in situations where deterministic logic is too restrictive, but I must also provide a witness for my ideas so the compiler knows what I'm on about. My only advice to you is to learn to tread water, so you'll never be afraid of drowning. The computer can choke on the symbols for all I care; I just need a language that's precise enough that I don't have to explain myself further. Mathematics is an ancient field, precisely because it is a concentration of natural, logical thought. We use a terse notation, because written English has a habit of saying more than we meant and simultaneously, being too vague to communicate anything specific without expounding further constraints. That's why Socrates held disdain for the written word; you can't ask it to clarify what it meant.

Suppose we came (however unreasonably) to the belief that max randomness occurred at 40%. We might test that not by drawing, but with actual "under/over" stitches with 40% starting with under stitches. Now turn the fabric over (and possibly look at the result in a mirror).

I love hard stuff that takes days to compute on a rackful of accelerators and years to figure out to first formulate at all and then to program somewhat efficiently. And then I apparently love fun stuff like this which reproducibly manages to touch me in a surprisingly soft spot. Nice one, Ayliean, thank you for sharing this, even/especially if/since it cost me the better part of an evening. ;)
