that is acknowledged in the document but only as a kind of aside, I suspect it's way more central

@allgebrah Thought you might be the one to ask. Do you know of any connection between Arab algebra and zairjas mentioned here? twitter.com/prathyvsh/stat…

hmm not in arab algebra but that'd take more of a historian than me, I've used techniques similar to that though
you could draw parallels between ideaspace and linear algebra, but ideaspace doesn't afford quite the same things as vector spaces

while you can (very fruitfully) draw parallels in both, ideas are for example not commutative (twitter.com/allgebrah/stat… + what remains of that thread)

super cool rabbithole actually, though you've probably already seen alpha60.de/research/scram… since it's linked from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zairja?

specifically, these look a lot like peg systems (ludism.org/mentat/PegSyst…) which, along with other arts of memory, we've mostly forgotten about
but back then they were vibrant, greek numerals for example (the arabic version of which seems to be used here) were used in gematria

a peg system that rhymes is a fairly natural extension and would attract much the same people as those who already serve as astrologers, clerks etc

the most tantalizing bit is there appears to have been a way to dance this pic.twitter.com/NmToX0611n
