Mathsy fedi, I have a question!

I have an arbitrarily sized cube of 3D space, and want to find the furthest possible distance an arbitrary number of points can be apart in it (and then average that and weight it by weights attached to the points and stuff but I can do all that hit).

This is presumably a very solved problem for low numbers (and I don't need more than low numbers), is there an easy enough formula or table I can use?

Boosts appreciated!

A little something on @codepen: pure icosphere of spheres codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/poY

Very little code and I should be able to make the algorithm even more efficient. Pure CSS shading too.

Comprehensive presentation of the "Theorem of the Day", starting with a statement of this theorem.

The Three-Distance Theorem : Let α ∈ (0, 1) be irrational and let N be a positive integer. Then the set of lengths {kα | 0 ≤ k ≤ N}, measured around the unit-circumference circle, partitions the circle into N + 1 intervals, whose lengths take just two values, or three values of which one is the sum of the other two.

I have a feeling that the study of systems composed of feedback loops (all of creation, I dare say!) will be of interest to you.

I understand it is called "cybernetics".

Please find attached an amusing 1949 Letter from the US Library of Congress to Norbert Weiner, asking him in which section his book "Cybernetics" is supposed to be.

Comprehensive presentation of the "Theorem of the Day", starting with a statement of this theorem.

Praeger’s Theorem on Bounded Movement : Let G be a permutation group acting without fixed points on a set Ω. Denote by m the maximum size of any subset Γ ⊆ Ω whose image under some group element is disjoint from Γ; and suppose that m is finite. Then Ω is a finite set; the number t of G orbits is at most 2m − 1; each orbit has length at most 3m; and |Ω| ≤ 3m + t − 1 ≤ 5m − 2.
