The Dimensions of Colour



Here the 16 x 16 grid is surrounded by other grids for emphasis of theory.
The Dimensions of Colour

I will include an illustration of the terse analysis of last night involving 16 colours, shortly. This takes a little more time with primitive paint programs but I could do the html first and transfer it later. Add to that the synchronicity of meeting Lisa, a photographer who brought with her a book on color and said to me she was starting graphics programs for her photography site having changed jobs related to pet health requiring long periods of time away from home.

After an hour I felt my presentation was not good enough to give her the simple (well my methods anyway) rime and reason of colour and the bit notations (in Hex). And her questions were more basic for example the nature of green to match what she saw on the screen with what could be printed out in chemicals. That colour of course the hardest to find a good match with existing pigments. (such little things take an artistic training to keep in mind- but the fear of the math or her ability not to understand it was a false assumption on her part. Of course other factors are involved like hers the mac program colours. For the specific solution for her green I did give her the link to the various ways we can set the programs like photoshop to come close to her desires with the USA standard uniform labels (it is a different grounding in the UK).

Today I had planned to post some of my concepts on colour, in particular on how we use it in the description of space, my quasic grids as a visual aid to the higher dimensions. Clearly, the digital or computer aspects of this is logical and worked out, but in the end the colour matching is a subjective thing, or something that seems subjective because our organic basis of viewing colour is not of a high enough level to do it by machine in a uniform manner. In a deep sense there is no uniform color space and yet I intuitively understand that in applying this to physics of particles and cosmology the search for a theory of everything can be seen as a search for a uniform colour space.

which should be of keen interest to the bloggers we link to and follow from the mathematical stances of which we have been making new explorations. The numbers involved, the so called magic numbers of shell structures seem to treat these nuclei as if spheres for some sort of stable matrices- such a model is primitive in a sense that it holds exceptions that we feel are surprises- but maybe it will prove of less a surprise for nuclear engineering if we can work and see better in the new topology.
I hope then that these ideas of colour as an aid to viewing the dimensions and the varieties of diagonals and matrices give us a higher reach into such space structures.

I am not sure any of this is correct so I would not guarantee such answers should be used for any exams. I know that from my experience on philosophychatforum with some trained people (they ask all the time if the non-professional can do physics in their closed little world of more exclusion and insist that philosophy is useless) that they did not know what I meant by syllogism. I am not that sure myself when I have discussed such things with logicians who shared with me some mysteries they themselves wondered about but could not understand my comments, asking me if what I was doing was linear algebra. I replied I did not know if it were that. But I am not criticizing the institutions of learning beyond the normal town to gown input, for I want to support the uni's and aid in the universal right to knowledge that the uni's are a more reasonable place for enquiry.

I welcome any input from anyone who would help these ideas- the last thing I want is to be caught in some sort of error. Colour has always conveyed to me very deep emotional things and logical things. I tend to attribute this to the learning at a very early age the various flags of states and nations and the logic of colour behind them.
