    In our school newspaper, we had absolutely nothing to put in the first issue so we did a story on the release of the newspaper, and the picture I put in was of the page of the article, then I copied the picture and shrunk it down and put that in the place where the picture would go on the small picture, and so on until there was a fractal.

    Wait a second, where is the 1/25 scale Matt Parker ?

      Yeah, that miniature set is _almost_ perfect. A Parker Cube?

    • @Draugo
      @Draugo 7 лет назад +5

      Surely it's a Parker Set

    Imagine the fact that sets cannot contain themselves without leading to contradictions applied to other kinds of sets too

      I'd rather deal with the set of all stage sets that don't contain models of themselves, they seem much easier to deal with.

    • @DavidRoberts
      @DavidRoberts 7 лет назад +1

      You're going to love non-well-founded models of set theory: look up Aczel's anti-foundation axiom.

    • @Kram1032
      @Kram1032 7 лет назад +1

      I heard of that before but while I find it intriguing I can't say I really get it yet. Gotta look more into it.
      On a side note I didn't know you upload stuff to your channel :)

    • @DavidRoberts
      @DavidRoberts 7 лет назад +1

      Kram1032 That was for teaching :-) I hope to make other stuff that's more generally of interest at some point, but can't say when.

    Theres a video in this video about a set within a set. That's neat.

    Parker you fool! What have you done?
    A set can't contain itself!
    (... at least the dumbed down ones I'm used to dealing with
    [... axiom of regularity or something like that])

  • @tj12711
    @tj12711 7 лет назад +13

    Matt, I believe the technical term you're looking for is "subset" ;)

    • @22PUZZLE22
      @22PUZZLE22 6 лет назад +1

      Well, as mentioned in the comments above, we did miss the 1/25 Matt, so you could say it was an improper subset. Or to put improperly, a *Parker* subset.

    BEWARE! You should know the number 1st rule of model making is avoid recursion. Citing: Randall Munroe of XKCD.

    • @My2CentsWorth1
      @My2CentsWorth1 7 лет назад +1

      That is the second rule. The first is that you do not talk about model train layouts.

    I'm glad I found this channel, though I'm not a bit a maths person. I like forms/shapes/figures and its interactions... that's what art goes with, but there are borders come, and very soon...
    Is it all we see or seem but a dream within a dream ?

  • @lambertbrother1628
    @lambertbrother1628 6 лет назад +1

    But surely because the set within the set was on a table, there should be a table on the set within the set. Also, there should be a chair and a box (and anothe table!) in the set within a set within a set. You can't just have fun with adding recursively smaller boxes without firstmaking sure that chars are present! It's against the laws of maths!

    who else thought this was about sets of numbers? 😅

    • @22PUZZLE22
      @22PUZZLE22 6 лет назад

      To be more precise, a set_ of numbers or to be even more precise following tj22's comment, a set of numbers containing a Parker subset of the same numbers, which itself also contained a subset of numbers, which also contained what I thought initially was an approximation of a chair, but in actuality a final subset of numbers. "Final" is not to say that we can't add yet another set that I've brought along here. * *Places a speck of tree dust* *, but wait, let me grab my electron microscope and tweezers, I think we can craft one more iteration...

    Well you probably shouldn't have made it public on youtube then

      "This video has be released to everyone as a christmas gift from me." - This was intentionally released.

    • @ThatGuy-nv2wo
      @ThatGuy-nv2wo 7 лет назад

      GABRIELFILMSTUDIOS Well then it's not exclusive, is it?

    • @GABRIELFILMSTUDIOS
      @GABRIELFILMSTUDIOS 7 лет назад +1

      That Guy No, but as far as I understand the description, this was intended to be a Patreon-exclusive but he decided to release it publicly after all. I guess explaining that is needed, otherwise the Christmas cards bit at the end wouldn't make any sense.

    • @ThatGuy-nv2wo
      @ThatGuy-nv2wo 7 лет назад

      GABRIELFILMSTUDIOS Well then it's not exclusive!
      You don't seem to understand the contradiction here.
