Talk:The Elements of Dynamic Symmetry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] fishy

Last time I looked, this article had duly ceased to exist. Now it's back, but the old discussion (in which I first raised the question of notability) is gone. Hmm. I do still wanna know what's notable about one obscure person's notions of proportion. Did he, or anyone else, ever apply his theories? —Tamfang 16:19, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

it seems suspect to me too. I've moved the page to the title of the book. That's already a lot better IMO. --MarSch 18:40, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

No this article does not need to be renamed. Yes Dynammic Symmetry is very real. I would happily add more to this article if I had more time and had fully read Hambridge's book and subsequent references to it. Hambridge did not invent Dynammic Symmetry. He merely gave a name to what has been around since Plato and before and examined how to apply it's concepts. Here are a few pages for quick info: [1], [2]. --MattWatt 01:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I have no problems with an article on a book which probably exists, but things like

Hambridge postulated substitute sequences such as 118, 191, 309, 500, 809, 1309, 2118, 3427, 5545, 8972, 14517, etc.

don't make for universal truths. --MarSch 14:55, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
