looks like we both created educational materials about the same topics - except yours clearly is higher effort in terms of prose and human effort.

Was toying with the idea that with everyone vibe coding niche educational sites (this is a claim about myself, not this site) it would be nice if that effort could go into building an auditable library of widgets/ educational resources users could trust.

Disclaimer: my concept is a stalled WIP/ completely vibe coded, but for me it was fun POC of a widget registry that can be served into chats via mcp

Imagine a civilization that discovers complex numbers before naturals, with naturals showing up to count the turns.

If hexagons can claim to be bestagons complex numbers have a legit claim at best numbers.

    A huge amount of math unlocked the minute mathematicians started taking complex numbers seriously. Ideally they would be an earlier discovery, I agree!
