shear coincidence?
"There's a nice "dynamical systems" way to look at this.
Start with the observation that the nicest algorithms consist of:
* a data structure and some initialization depending on given data,
* a loop in which one tests the data structure and modifies it according to the results of the test,
* a termination condition which causes one to jump out of the loop.
Furthermore, the simplest test consists of choosing one of two alternatives. And, the simplest modification consists of "reducing to the previous case". "

"Another way to think about the dual problem in higher dimensions is as the "numerology problem": given d+1 arbitrary real numbers x_0, ... x_d, find integers p_0, ... p_d such that
p_0 x_0 + p_1 x_1 + ... p_d x_d ~ 0
For example: find "small integer approximate relations" among the masses of the nine planets. I wrote a computer program and found many such relations using small integers to debunk the claims
a crank called Timofeev periodically posts here (the numerological relations he has found are explainable in terms of shear coincidence; indeed, I easily found
relations he had missed which are even closer to zero). "
