You'll really have to guess harder. the 13-symmetry axes of a cube are NOT ORTHOGONAL for chrissakes. neither are the 13-eigenvectors of Psychometry.... they are rotated to "oblique simple structure" using maximum hyperplane count. You don't know what you're talking about... PCA, Rotation, Simple Structure, Hyperplane Count, etc. etc. are mathematical physics subjects light years beyond your grade school education. get outta here. > > > > >> (BTW, I published the explanation, and discovery, in 1994 > >> in the peer reviewed literature). > > > > > > > > -- > Fred Stone > aa # 1369 > Linux and Liking It! > s/g.com/k.net/ > email -- BE SURE TO VISIT MY WEBSITE, BELOW: ----------------------------------------------------------- George Hammond, M.S.
