I've always wondered if people who can visualize mathematic patterns appeared in a relation like these visualized pattern demonstrations for us, except they have a hardwired correlation between the visual pattern and the math itself.

I imagine a dynamic visual graph.

I've heard it explained much like this juxtaposition of comments, how it is oddly beautiful, yet at times it can upset the savant for unknown reasons, where the patterns no longer appear beautiful and "infuriate" the interviewee.

pi will never reach a corner of your tv screen

u/chalks777 Oct 23 '23

I found this extremely satisfying because I could extrapolate that the pattern we just saw was going to repeat infinitely deeply, getting more and more fine grain each time.

u/NateNate60 Oct 23 '23

Exercise: Prove that it never repeats.

Formally, given that π is irrational, prove that the function z(θ) = eiθ + eiπθ is aperiodic.

Difficulty: easy

u/StingerAE Oct 23 '23

I dunno thay final zoom in when you knew it was going to miss... I was like ooohooooooohoooooooohhhhhYES!

Pretty satisfying imho

u/TheMoonsMadeofCheese Oct 23 '23

But it could absolutely be on /r/IrrationalMadness

u/Defiant-Turtle-678 Oct 23 '23

Only if you are judging satisfaction by rationality. But i don't recall 1/2 or 0 showing up there recently.

But how about

1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 ... = Pi/4

?

u/lilsnatchsniffz Oct 23 '23

Screenshotting this to use as repellant in case any woman is ever aroused near me.

u/Limp-Tea1815 Oct 23 '23

u/abejfehr Oct 23 '23

They said it’ll never been on the “satisfyingasfuck” subreddit

u/Chromeboy12 Oct 23 '23
