    So a base-prime system (base-3, base-5, base-7, base-11, base-13, … base-769, etc.) would actually be a major headache for prime hunters, since any number not ending in zero is potentially prime.

    The whole numbers less than and coprime to 24 are 1, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, and 23. Their squares are 1, 25, 49, 121, 169, 289, 361, and 529. Each of these are congruent to 1 mod 24. That means that for all primes greater than 24 (in fact, all primes greater than 3), the prime's square will be 1 greater than a multiple of 24.

    This lesson has some interesting music theory applications. Western music can be understood as a mod 12 system. And the intervals between pitch classes can cycle through all 12 pitch classes in only two ways: by half step, or through the circle of fifths--or their inversions. The other intervals make augmented triads, diminished seventh chords, whole tone scales and tritones, all of which are cycles that include only 3, 4, 6 and 2 pitch classes, respectively. Hearing these relationships might be helpful for some learners with musical inclinations.

    • @jasmint6703
      @jasmint6703 Рік тому +12

      @@ComboClass I'm excited to see that clock! There is also the tangential issue of factors of 2 and factors of 3 being coprime. Since intervals based in 5ths rely on vibrations of lengths based on 2/3 and octaves based on vibrations/string lengths of 1/2, the history of how to finagle this to something that SOUNDS good is pretty interesting. In other words if you cycle through 2/3 intervals you will only approximate an octave after 12 cycles...but we've tweaked this so no one actually is able to notice this discrepancy in practice.

  • @booooooooooooooooooooooooooone

    If you went through the process multiple times and set the base to various highly composite numbers, could the ratio get any lower than 1/3? Because 6 and 12 had the best ratio and they are highly composite, would the trend continue or is 1/3 the lowest.

    • @ComboClass
      @ComboClass  Рік тому +1

      There are some mods/bases later with even smaller ratios (although if you were using them as numerical bases they might be less practical). For example, the only numbers coprime to 30 and smaller than it are 1, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, and 29, which is just 8 out of 30 numbers

    To check if number is prime I was divising it by numbers up to this number root, for obvious reasons. I believe that by making the mod checks, like in this video I could improve my prime checker alghorithm. It would be more code and memory complicated, but I believe it would be faster. 🤔

    What's special about 12 that we use it for clock faces anyhow?
    My suggestion in a word: tides. Starting with low tide, a clock divided into 12ths could tell you successively what proportion of the tidal range had been reached at a given time until 6 at high tide, and while it recedes until 12 again. 1 o'clock tells you that 1/12 of the range has been reached, 2 o'clock that another 2/12 has been added (so increase in height and water flow is speeding up), at 3 o'clock that another 3/12 has been reached and we're now at maximum flow speed. By 4 another 3/12 has been added. The speed would be diminishing but the height would still be increasing till 6 when the tide starts to recede again. This change in flow speed is represented by the sequence 1 2 3 3 2 1, which of course sums to exactly 12. If the clock face were divided into 16 say, then the sequence would be 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 which sums to more than 16, and if 10 the sequence would be 12321 which sums to less than 10. The high tide to high tide cycle seems to roughly match the midday to midday cycle at 2:1, so 2 lots of 12 covers the latter. Tide, both high water and flow speed, must have been of immediate practical importance to early shore based and many riverine civilizations, enough to decide the number of time division units you were going to use over the tidal cycle.
