Date: 17 JUL 1980 2245-EDT From: ALAN at MIT-MC (Alan Bawden) Subject: The Higher Crosses To: Greenberg at MIT-MULTICS CC: CUBE-HACKERS at MIT-MC Date: 17 July 1980 2228-edt From: Bernard S. Greenberg ... The Higher Crosses are fascinating insofar as they appear to be very simple edge-cube hacks, but are in fact quite "far" from home; the CP being exactly twice as "hairy" (far) as the CC (discovered by ALAN) is in itself a source of wonderment. I wish I could really say something was "exactly twice as far" from home as something else. Unfortunately, as I complained before, the metric by which one measures the distance of one configuration from another is not well enough understood to be able to make claims like this. It might well be that the CP is less than twice as far as the CC, all we can really be sure is that it is not any further than that.
