Abstract

FINDING: Search returned a documentary corpus, not primary mathematical results — no new equations or constants are extractable from titles alone; the substantive mathematical content must be pulled from the specific texts these films cover (Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Indian sources). | MATH: No equations derivable from metadata. The load-bearing primary sources referenced are: Plimpton 322 (Babylonian, ~1800 BCE) — a table of Pythagorean triples consistent with a secant/cosecant (reciprocal) method, not angle measure; YBC 7289 — √2 ≈ 1.41421296 (sexagesimal 1;24,51,10), accurate to ~6 decimal places; Rhind Papyrus (Egyptian) — π approximated as 256/81 ≈ 3.1605 and a seked-based slope system; Baudhāyana Śulbasūtra — √2 ≈ 1.4142156 (577/408). | CONNECTION: Base-60 is the dominant harmonic substrate here — Babylonian sexagesimal underlies 360° circle division, 60-minute/60-second time, and the reciprocal tables that generate Pythagorean triples. √2 and π appear as convergent rational a Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
