@QPaysTaxes You can't have positional arguments after a catchall, only keyword args.

Tropical geometry
Tropical geometry is a relatively new area in mathematics, which might loosely be described as a piece-wise linear or skeletonized version of algebraic geometry. Its leading ideas had appeared in different forms in the earlier works of George M. Bergman and of Robert Bieri and John Groves, but only since the late 1990s has an effort been made to consolidate the basic definitions of the theory. This has been motivated by the applications to enumerative algebraic geometry found by Grigory Mikhalkin. == Basic definitions == We will use the min convention, that tropical addition is classical minimum...
PhiNotPi
PhiNotPi
My main motivation of messing around with it is that, by simply touching it, I'm putting myself at the forefront of mathematics research.
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
True
PhiNotPi
PhiNotPi
I've been trying (to no avail) to add "imaginary numbers" to the tropical semiring... meaning, numbers X and Y such that X+Y=3 and min(X,Y)=2.
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
@QPaysTaxes I'd only parse the first, it's the most expected behaviour
IMO
Get some other's opinions first tho :P
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
@PhiNotPi Hmm, wait, if we're only interested in real values for X and Y, then there would no pairs that satisfy these criteria, right? If the sum is 3 and the minimum is 2, then the other must be 1, which is the true minimum, therefore contradiction.
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
18:54
okai
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
I agree with parsing in sequence.
PhiNotPi
PhiNotPi
@El'endiaStarman Hence the fact that I need to invent new numbers.
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
@QPaysTaxes yeah
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
@PhiNotPi You could invent a number phinpi
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
@PhiNotPi Oh, so if it were instead X + Y = 5, then there would be two pairs, (2,3), (3,2)?
FryAmTheEggman
FryAmTheEggman
18:56
@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ The point is you have to define rules for the new invented numbers so that they work :P
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
@FryAmTheEggman Yeah. That is a rule.
;P
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Oh, I've been looking at the definition of tropical geometry wrong. I get it now.
(x plus y) plus (x plus z) would be min(x,y,z).

yes
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
o-o
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman

And this doesn't work with complex numbers because there is no minimum?
PhiNotPi
PhiNotPi
@El'endiaStarman Hence the fact that I need to invent new numbers.
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Can't you define min(a+bi,x+yi) to be the one with minimal distance from 0?
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Right. What if you used the minimum of the magnitudes?
Which is what Conor just suggested.
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
That's what it's called.
I forgot the term.
PhiNotPi
PhiNotPi
That doesn't solve the X+Y=3, min(X,Y)=2 issue.
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
19:06
You could've also called it the absolute value and been technically right but not really. :P
FryAmTheEggman
FryAmTheEggman
You need it to meet a bunch of criteria for it still to be a simiring, I'm not super good at this, but I don't think that will work because that addition doesn't give complex numbers ever.
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
There are actually very few criteria for a semiring.
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
2i+5i yields an imaginary...
FryAmTheEggman
FryAmTheEggman
Actually I'm wrong hang on >_<
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Oh, I forgot we're in topical geometry >_<
I was just defining min for complex numbers.
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
19:08
@PhiNotPi And you could get that, when? Hmm, if X = 2 + i and Y = 1 - i, then min(|X|,|Y|) would give you sqrt(5). Yeah, that would be an issue.
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
@FryAmTheEggman no, aren't you right?
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
What about doing what Conor actually suggested, which is that you're not taking the minimum of the magnitudes, but whichever one has the minimum magnitude?
FryAmTheEggman
FryAmTheEggman
No the min would return 2i... I think the problem is the distributive property?
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
@El'endiaStarman They aren't the same things?
FryAmTheEggman

El'endia Starman

So, then, the example I gave above would return 1 - i. I guess the real problem is when you have min(1 + i, 1 - i).
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
mmmm.
maybe 1 - i, because the iPart is negative? :P

@CᴏɴᴏʀO'Bʀɪᴇɴ Yep. :P
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ
@El'endiaStarman -1 - i because it's the most negative?
Well, I gotta go.

FryAmTheEggman
FryAmTheEggman
Just to make sure I'm not crazy, the additive identity in tropical topology is -infinity and the multiplicitave identity is +infinity?
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
That seems right.
PhiNotPi
PhiNotPi
multiplicative identity is 0
FryAmTheEggman
FryAmTheEggman
But that doesn't destroy the value? I'm confused :P
poi830

19:18
what about (3+4i) and (5)
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
x mul y = x + y, so x mul 0 = x.
FryAmTheEggman
FryAmTheEggman
Oh, whoops I didn't mean identity, my bad, I meant the "zero".
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
I wonder what that is called.
"In the reals, 0 is the multiplicative destroyer."
FryAmTheEggman
FryAmTheEggman
I propose: "Annihilating Identity"
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Destroyer is more pithy. :P
"Destructive identity" could work too.
FryAmTheEggman
FryAmTheEggman
19:21
IMO the more things sound like a saturday morning cartoon the better :P
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
So, additive destroyer is -infinity and multiplicative destroyer is +infinity; additive identity is +infinity and multiplicative identity is 0.

19:50
@flawr 4/20 is popular within the marijuana community for some reason, and the comic is basically that someone is getting excited about 4/20, but they don't use weed themselves, so they have no reason to do so.
420 (cannabis culture)
420, 4:20, or 4/20 (pronounced four-twenty) is a code-term that refers to the annual consumption of cannabis and by extension, as a way to identify oneself with cannabis culture. Observances based on the number 420 include smoking cannabis around the time 4:20 p.m., as well as smoking and celebrating cannabis on the date April 20 (4/20 in U.S. form). == Origins == A group of people in San Rafael, California, calling themselves the Waldos because "their chosen hang-out spot was a wall outside the school", used the term in connection with a fall 1971 plan to search for an abandoned cannabis crop...
