The name of the project stems from the fact that there are three resources that themselves contain all that you need for an almost complete understanding of the world. | The name of the project stems from the fact that there are three resources that themselves contain all that you need for an almost complete understanding of the world. | ||

These resources are available to everyone, but will be sought by almost none. A goal of the Graph, Wall, Tome project is to convert these resources into a medium that can be widely disseminated, and which can not be ignored. | These resources are available to everyone, but will be sought by almost none.

* [[Holonomy Project]] - The goal is to create visualizations for the effect known as "holonomy", whereby parallel transporting a vector around a loop in a curved space leads to the vector changing upon returning to the start of the loop. How/how much the vector changes orientation/position in space is the holonomy of that loop in that space. This effect reveals deep information about the curvature of the space itself. | * [[Holonomy Project]] - The goal is to create visualizations for the effect known as "holonomy", whereby parallel transporting a vector around a loop in a curved space leads to the vector changing upon returning to the start of the loop.

* [[Geometry|Geometry Project]] - The aim is to create and collect resources related to Frederic P. Schuller's lecture series titled "Lectures on Geometrical Anatomy of Theoretical Physics" that provides a great introduction to geometrical concepts that are essential for the Graph, Wall, Tome project. | * [[Geometry|Geometry Project]] - The aim is to create and collect resources related to Frederic P.
