Unlike typical browser “favorites”/”bookmarks”, most of these links are infrequently visited (low-traffic). These are here because they’re too valuable to be forgotten. A minority of links are simply underrated.
To reduce redundancy, if any of these URLs is included anywhere in my GH-Pages domain or my GH Profile-README, they’ll be removed from this page.

- How extensions of Real numbers relate to geometric curvatures. alt: Complex = Circular (+ curv), Dual = Euclidean (0 curv), Split = Hyperbolic (- curv).
- Polygon Continuum. This is a blog-post about
0 <= sides < 3, and it includes links to 2 other blogs about negative and fractional sides. It explores the idea of extending polygon sides to be Real numbers.
