Just FYI, I added your shop to diffgeom.org/misc/math_sh... Please pass along other shops you may know about, and/or let me know if there are corrections to your entry!

Tangentially, it looks to me that any proof must rely enough structure to determine angles in principle: Pythagorean theorem or equivalent. But a proof *can* be given using just the Pythagorean theorem by dropping a perpendicular and naming a couple of auxiliary sides. :)

In Cartesian coordinates, put vertices at (0,0), (a,0), (b,c), (a+b,c). Sum of squares of diagonals = [(a+b)^2 + c^2] + [(a-b)^2 + c^2] = 2(a^2 + b^2 + c^2) = 2(sum of squares of sides).

Probably not me then, FWIW; my spirals are all on tori. I've designed wearable loxodrome-banded spheres, but haven't offered them for sale....

Please do email or DM details (or post them if you're willing)! A lot depends on whether this is a mathematical or practical question, and how strictly "preserve" is meant.

There *are* definite mathematical kinships with spirograph! :) diffgeom.com/blogs/about-...

For what it's worth (and to make a long story short), these pieces are now offered everywhere I ship, so the page should load for you. :)

Just saw all your investigation results. Thank you for the thorough debugging (and apologies for effectively inducing you to)! Early this morning it occurred: I'm only offering this piece in the US.... ::oops::

If you know of similar shops that are "unlisted" please pass them along!

(i) Thank you! and (ii) Hmmm. :S The link worked for me just now. Are you still getting a 404...?

To clarify, there is no reason to believe more than this user deleted their bsky account. "Safety" here refers to "safe spaces." The concern is whether bsky (not MathSky) *is* a safe space, and if not, what can be done.
