You can reduce it even further. Triangles and Ellipses are just regions of points.

>> No.1087935

>>1087917

Nope, it's a square. It has ceased to be related or exist as a triangle. It's a square. It's not made of two triangles.

you're an idiot.
look at the equation for an ellipse.
when the two foci are at the same point, you get the equation for a circle.
circle is a special case of an ellipse, like special relativity is a special case for general relativity.

two triangles can make up a square, so a square isnt the lowest common denominator.

YOU ARE WRONG

THE UNIVERSE IS MADE OF TWO LINES

CURVY AND STRAIGHT

ALL OTHER SHAPES COME FROM THEM

What the fuck? If we're talking about topology than a triangle is an ellipse.

>> No.1088015

>>1087958

Nope. Pretty sure I'm looking at a square.

It exists only as a square. If you separate it, of course you have a triangle, but it ceases to be a square.

This square is not made of triangles, then it would be two triangles. This square is a square, it exists.

you're argument is invalid.

how can you believe in shapes if they are estimated (a guess)?

An ellipse is the set of points whose sum of distances from two foci is a constant.
IE: take two pins and a length of string. Now, attach both ends of string to the pins, take a pencil, and trace along, keeping the string taught.

Then: ellipse!

you don't understand calculus.
in calculus, we accurately estimate things all the time.
it isn't a guess.

Then an ellipse can be estimated by an infinite amount of triangles and triangles can be estimated by an infinite amount of ellipses?

>> No.1088052

>>1088047
that's dumb, because triangles have straight lines.
triangles are used to map straight lines.
ellipses are used to map curves.

>> No.1088068

So? It would still work.

>>1088047
Actually you can construct a triangle with exactly 3 ellipses with minor axis=0. (i.e. 3 lines).

So this square I just drew is actually just a series of points? It doesn't exist as a square, even though, if you could look at a microscopic level, the lines of the square aren't separated?
