Phylogenetic trees
I've also put together a lot of
phylogenetic trees . Here's a small one.
Aristotelian biology models
Aristotle's model of information processing
Aristotle's model of inheritance
Aristotle's metabolism as an open flow model
Aristotle's model of temperature regulation
Two of Aristotle's growth laws, on
brood size and
gestation
Senses ,
perception ,
memory ,
dreams , action in Aristotle's biology
Maps

M. C. Escher Paradox Diagram
GUPPY is neither a typical
PET nor a typical
FISH , but contrary to classical logic, it is a typical PET-FISH
Transition from

In an
isosceles triangle with a sharp apex,
Malfatti's circles occupy only a modest fraction of the total area; other algorithms do much better.
Alternative to Malfatti's circles in a sharp isosceles triangle: three circles stacked with a
greedy algorithm occupy nearly twice as much space as Malfatti's circles.

Tolkien 's influences in creating his
Middle-earth books included his profession,
philology ,
studying medieval literature ; his religion,
Christianity ;
mythology and
archaeology ;
Old English poetry, especially
Beowulf ; and his own experience of childhood in the English countryside, and
as a soldier in the First World War . Major inputs to his stories were his
